The door slammed shut with a deafening thud, and Ayla’s heart skipped a beat. She stood frozen, her mind racing, trying to piece together what had just unfolded. K’s cold words echoed in her ears, chilling her to the bone. “I’m just better at it.”

She couldn’t move, couldn’t think. Everything had changed in an instant. She had trusted K, believed him to be an ally—someone who had her back. But now, standing in the dimly lit room, she knew the truth: K was another part of the web of deception that had been pulling her deeper into the abyss. She had been played. Again.

Ayla’s grip tightened on the gun in her hand, her knuckles white. She knew she had to act, but her instincts told her to wait. She needed to understand K’s next move. She needed to see how deep the rabbit hole went.

“You think you can just betray me and get away with it?” Ayla’s voice was low, a growl that reverberated in the tense silence.

K didn’t flinch. He simply stood there, his face unreadable. “You’re not as cleve

  • Chapter 152: The Price of Truth

    The air in the chamber was thick with tension, as Ayla stood frozen, staring at the woman who shared her face. Her heart raced in her chest, each beat reverberating in her ears. The woman her doppelganger was a living nightmare, a twisted reflection of what Ayla could have become if she had never broken free from the chains of manipulation. The realization was a brutal one.Ayla’s mind scrambled to make sense of what had just been revealed. The woman before her wasn’t just a creation she was a failed version, a shadow that had been discarded and forgotten. And yet, here she was, alive, thriving in the darkness Ayla had fought so hard to escape.“I know this is hard to believe,” the woman said, her voice smooth, almost mocking, “but you must understand. We were made for a purpose, Ayla. You were always meant to be my replacement.”“Replacement?” Ayla's voice was barely a whisper, as if the word itself was too heavy to carry. She stepped back, her mind reeling. “But I""You escaped," th

  • Chapter 151: The Final Revelation

    Ayla’s body was a tempest of fury and determination as she launched herself at Orion once again. Her every move was calculated, fueled by a desperation that cut through the fog of doubt and confusion that had plagued her. She didn’t know what was true anymore—her past, her purpose, or even her own identity. But one thing was certain: She wasn’t going to let Orion control her.The room seemed to tremble with the intensity of the battle. Her fist collided with Orion’s chest with a sickening thud, but his armor absorbed the blow without a flicker. With a growl, he retaliated, his hand sweeping toward her like a blur of metal. The sharp edge of his gauntlet scraped across her side, sending a shock of pain coursing through her body.Ayla staggered back, but her feet were already in motion, her mind locked on a singular objective. She couldn’t let him win. She couldn’t let him complete his vision for a world ruled by fear and control.“You think you can stop me?” Orion’s voice was chilling,

  • Chapter 150: The Origin of Shadows

    Ayla's mind raced, each thought crashing into the next with the force of a tidal wave. Orion. The architect of it all. He stood before her, a figure shrouded in the very darkness she had spent years fighting against. The man responsible for the Revenant Protocol the catalyst for the chaos that had already consumed so much. But there was more to his presence than just his title. His words echoed through her mind like a sickening refrain: “You are the final piece of the puzzle.”She gripped her blaster tightly, but it felt almost useless in her hands now. The walls of the room seemed to close in, and despite the urgency of the moment, a cold chill ran down her spine. This was no ordinary battle. This wasn’t about survival. This was about understanding the very foundation of her existence.“You…” Ayla started, but the words caught in her throat. She had to know. Had to understand.Orion’s helmeted face tilted slightly, almost as if he was observing her reaction with clinical interest. “Y

  • Chapter 149: Shadows of Betrayal 2

    The control room was eerily quiet after the chaos had subsided. The air was thick with the acrid smell of burnt electronics and the metallic tang of blood. Ayla’s body hummed with the aftermath of battle, her systems pushing past critical thresholds, but her mind was consumed by the wreckage around her. Thorne was down laying motionless at the center of the command deck. His betrayal still lingered in the air, like a poison in her lungs. Riven, standing over him, her weapon lowered, spoke softly, her voice tinged with disbelief. “He was one of us…”Ayla’s eyes locked on Thorne’s body. There was no honor in what he had done. There was no remorse in his eyes when he pulled the trigger.“No, Riven.” Ayla’s voice was hard, unyielding. “He wasn’t one of us anymore. He was a puppet. Controlled. A tool of Leviathan.”Riven’s lips pressed into a thin line, as if trying to find solace in the logic. But there was none. Thorne was dead now, and nothing would bring him back. Ayla turned away, her

  • Chapter 148: Betrayal in the Shadows

    The descent into the Leviathan-controlled data nexus was nothing short of brutal. The skies were dark, heavy with a tempest of ash and smoke. Ayla, despite the constant ache in her body and the tremors in her circuits, pressed forward with purpose. Every step carried the weight of the mission: to retrieve the intelligence that could end the war before it even began.She glanced back at her team, each one clad in the armor of Revenant loyalty each one sworn to the cause. But in the back of her mind, there was a creeping doubt. One of them was hiding something.They’d been together for too long, and Ayla could feel the shift in the air, the tension that was building between them. It was as if the ground beneath their feet knew something they didn’t.The NexusA massive, blackened tower loomed ahead, its architecture twisted and imposing, pulsing with the eerie green glow of Leviathan’s programming. The entrance was guarded by drones and automated defense systems, but they’d been dealt w

  • Chapter 147: Echoes of Command

    Smoke boiled from the shattered ruins of the mountain, a dark plume rising to scar the early morning sky. Below the devastation, amidst broken steel and splintered earth, Ayla pushed herself upright, bleeding from a gash across her brow. Her systems screamed with red alerts, damage reports scrolling rapidly across her vision. But she didn’t care about herself. She cared about them. “Riven!” she shouted through the chaos. No response. Another explosion rocked the base one of Leviathan’s drop pods cracking open like a monstrous egg, birthing an elite assault unit. Its frame was obsidian black, sleek and angular, powered by Eden-like enhancements. Its designation marked in crimson: Unit A•17 // Spectre-Class ExecutorIt locked eyes with her. And charged. Elsewhere Eastern Perimeter of the Shard BaseDaxon, the Revenant mech-warrior recently awakened, had already carved through a squad of drone troopers. Plasma scorched the air around him, his twin blades humming with a menacing whine. He
