THOOOOOMMMMMM!
A thunderous explosion rocked the entire superstructure, sending a low vibration through the steel beams and glass panels of the tallest, most secure building in the entire world.
Lights flickered for half a second.
Desks trembled and a few cups clattered off tables, smashing on marble floors.
It was chaos, but only for a heartbeat.
Because this wasn't just any normal building... this was the seat of absolute global authority.
The headquarters of the World Council, Sovereign Circle.
The building's security systems instantly activated as shimmering blue barriers sealed off major corridors and shielded vital command rooms.
Guards across every floor reached for their weapons.
Surveillance teams rushed to screens and alarms flashed as the system tried to triangulate the source of the explosion.
"What the hell was that?!"
"We've got a breach on the substructure! It's climbing... fast!"
