—protecting the Vieux-Port secondary Nexus!"

The high-pitched electronic signal that terminated the transmission lingered in the damp air of the lab. Jean slammed the mobile device down on the metal table, its cracked screen blinking furiously with the new coordinates. The coordinates for the old Ice House.

"It's a redirection," Jean said, the frustration tightening his jaw. His voice, sharpened by the internal presence of the Alchemist, echoed faintly. "They're not just interested in preventing the new Naval ship from launching. They're striking at the foundations. They want to ensure there is no power left for Marseille to defend itself with."

"The Grand Harvest," Gaston stated grimly. He stood beside Jean, the transmuted strength making his posture unnaturally stiff. "They are going to drain that secondary Nexus dry, Boss. Then what will we be? Ants without legs?"

"They won't drain it," Jean corrected, snatching his remaining Tidal Potion bottle—a blue jewel reflecting the urgency

  • Vanished

    The pressurized shriek that ended the transmission from Captain Neptunus’s frigate still echoed in the internal comms array of the *Sang Siluman*. Jean Valéry, gripping the controls, felt the insidious creep of the Sea Calcination Elixir now transforming the surrounding ocean. Every nautical mile closing the gap to Gibraltar intensified the oppressive feeling—sailing into liquid cement. His heart pounded not only with adrenaline but with the chilling knowledge that his final tactical gambit had been exposed: his own forces, split and surrounded, were about to be exploited to draw him back to Marseille.“Pierre! How is the hull Transmutation holding?” Jean yelled, staring intently at the transmuted hull sensors.“Maintaining silence, Boss!” Pierre shouted back, his forehead beaded with sweat, concentrating hard on stabilizing the Coral Strength Elixir. “But the hull feels… tight. Almost brittle! The calcifying water is trying to bond with the Coral coating!”“Lucie! Give me a precise l

  • Forced to Return Marseille

    The concentrated Anti-Alchemy Calcine Sea Elixir from the Cartel Command Frigate washed over them, instantly transforming the water medium surrounding Jean Valéry and his few remaining forces into a paralyzing, corrosive crude oil.“They’ve perfected the Total Transmutation of the Calcine Sea Elixir! The water… it has been completely altered outside of the base alchemical elements!” Jean yelled through the internal comms channel to Lucie, his voice hoarse, fighting the systemic paralysis that followed the catastrophic realization. “My power… it is muted!”“Jean!” Lucie’s voice was high-pitched and strained, echoing her panic as she struggled to swim against the thickening, suffocating crude-oil sea. The Calcine Sea Elixir was doing exactly what Cartel Neptunus had intended—turning the elemental water into something beyond his reach. Her Tidal Elixir-enhanced skin was starting to burn violently against the unknown corrosive liquid. “We’re dissolving! I cannot hold the anti-Transmutatio

  • They want Bastien dead

    The sudden cut of the radio signal left a violent void, but the ringing in Jean Valéry’s ears was loud enough to fill it. It wasn’t a ringing of silence. It was the desperate, drowning scream of his first external force, Bastien, battling the Sea Calcification Elixir at Gibraltar. Jean’s breath hitched in his throat, and he clenched his fist around the transmuted helm of the *Sang Siluman*.“Gaston!” Jean roared, turning from the console with unnatural quickness. “Full mobilization! Prepare for immediate trajectory leap! We're not running to Corsica. We’re running to the funeral home, and we’re going to steal the bodies back.”Gaston's massive figure instantly solidified with grim purpose, his transmuted silver eyes reflecting the crisis. His voice, honed by the Tidal Elixir into a tool of absolute command, resonated across the invisible bridge of the *Sang Siluman*.“ABS Unit! Sector Orange protocol active! Battle positions now!” Gaston shouted, already directing the remaining core c

  • the Supreme Transmutation Elixir

    Jean Valéry slammed his foot down on the pedal of *Sang Siluman*, engaging the Ghost Ship Mode with every fiber of his being. The powerful, silent roar of the alchemical engines surged beneath the deck. His muscles locked up, protesting the drain of the now-limited Tidal Elixir stabilizing his system. He didn’t care. The final, panicked message from Bastien echoed the ultimate threat: Sea Calcination Elixir in the Strait of Gibraltar. A systemic shutdown of the entire Mediterranean Nexus was imminent. He knew that the desperate order he’d given—FIRE ON THE NEXUS!—was their only chance to destabilize the Alchemical Exploitation Elixir before the Cartel finished their Great Harvest."Gaston! We have to stay hidden," Jean commanded, hands white-knuckled on the controls. The radar screen remained clean, thanks to the Coral Strength Elixir, yet he knew the entire Mediterranean was about to boil over with Sea Calcination Elixir. "Lucie and Pierre! Stabilize the ship! We need total active so

  • FIRE ON THE NEXUS

    "—The Alchemical Exploitation Battalion Fleet!"The sheer terror in Victor the Viper Head’s voice, a veteran smuggler rarely given to displays of fear, underscored the apocalyptic scope of the threat. The siren that followed wasn’t the low, mournful wail of a French naval warning. It was a high-frequency sonic whine, a signal designed to paralyze ships with terror and confusion, a trademark of the Neptune Cartel’s aggressive dominance.Jean Valéry, standing exposed at the ramshackle, outer docks of the Obsidian Mine, grabbed Victor’s shoulder. His own Tide Potion-stabilized heart hammered a rapid, cold rhythm against his ribs. The Hidden Reef hull of *The Phantom* might keep his ship invisible to alchemical detection, but a massive surface fleet couldn't be easily ignored."Victor! Easy!" Jean’s voice cut through the chaos, commanding the man’s focus with an intentional burst of pure mental will.Victor flinched, the subtle salt crystals in his borrowed Transmutation system registerin

  • The Alchemy Exploitation Battalion Fleet

    "—The Calcination Sea Elixir! I... we are all going to die! Send reinforcements!"The last desperate word shattered in a haze of static. The line went completely dead. Jean Valéry, standing on the silent, transmuted deck of *Sang Siluman*, felt the chilling impact of Bastien’s final transmission. The pain from his crystallized veins was now eclipsed by a new, paralyzing awareness: the Neptune Cartel had played their final card—a cataclysmic chemical attack that targeted the very essence of the ocean medium itself.The Calcination Sea Elixir. An apocryphal weapon of Atlantean origin, designed not to destroy the water but to fundamentally alter its molecular structure, making it toxic, volatile, and—most fatally—resistant to the known forms of water-based Alchemy."Damn it!" Jean slammed his fist onto the console. The solid obsidian coral surface did not even flinch.He looked around. The few ABS crew members who had remained on *Sang Siluman*—young recruits assigned to security—were no
