While Revek and Echo negotiated with the Architect's shadow, a new threat brewed in the city's depths.
A group of rogue agents, remnants of the old council's loyalists, activated a secret weapon—a weapon designed to override the Throne itself.
Echo intercepted a transmission. "They're deploying the Null Vector. It can erase digital consciousness."
Revek's jaw tightened. "If it hits the Throne, everything we rebuilt will be lost."
They raced against time, tracing the Null Vector to an underground bunker. Revek's command was resolute: "We end this before it starts."
Fighting through traps and armed guards, they reached the core just as the Null Vector initialized.
Revek raised his hand, and a burst of energy shattered the weapon's core.
Echo breathed hard. "That was too close."
Revek looked out toward the horizon. "The war is far from over."
