The Omega Server wasn't like any ordinary server.
Its sky burned crimson, torn apart by swirling glitch cracks like a storm. The ground stretched into a battlefield of broken avatars, rusted glitch weapons, and the husks of frozen AI.
At the very center stood a black core tower, pulsing faintly like a bleeding heart.
[OMEGA SERVER – KEY COORDINATE 1]
[ACCESS LIMITED TO FRAGMENT HOLDER]
Yuto'o stepped onto the battlefield, his body 80% fractured, his glitch sword broken in half since the fight with Chimera. Beside him, Yuuki stood firm with his neon whip, while Orbis wrestled with a glowing purple terminal, sweat flickering as he tried stabilizing the Fragment.
Grim emerged from the shadows, his jagged black blade humming. His skull-helm cracked a grin.
"Hahaha… this place is perfect for dying. Well then, Circuit Ghost. Let's see if your oath is strong enough to survive this field."
Before Yuto'o could respond, the ground shook.
From the horizon, waves of armored neon avatars advanced, their plates stamped with the corporate insignia. Behind them marched mech AI, holographic blades spinning in deadly rhythm.
A heavy synthetic voice thundered:
[NEONIX CORPORATION DEPLOYMENT ACTIVE]
[OBJECTIVE: SEIZE OMEGA KEY]
Yuuki's crimson eyes narrowed. "Corporates. They've been waiting."
And from the opposite ridge, another army appeared—thousands draped in black-violet cloaks. Their roars shook the air as Grim raised his blade high.
"DARK TOOTH! TONIGHT WE BLEED AT OMEGA!"
The battlefield ignited in chaos. Three forces converged: Circuit Ghost, the Corporates, and Dark Tooth.
Yuto'o stood tall despite his failing body. His gaze locked on the pulsing black tower at the center.
"That's the key… I have to reach it."
Yuuki's whip twitched, his voice sharp. "Kid, you think you can walk through this bloodstorm? You barely survived Chimera."
Yuto'o's lips curled into a faint smile, his bi-color eyes blazing. "I'm a Circuit Ghost. I swore I'd reach Reboot."
[WAR PROTOCOL – INITIATED]
[THREE-WAY BATTLE ENGAGED]
The Corporates charged first. Thousands of neon-armored soldiers unleashed streams of glitch rounds, tearing the battlefield into shreds of data.
Dark Tooth retaliated with brutal close combat. Their avatars roared like beasts, glitch blades raining down upon the corporate ranks.
War detonated. Explosions of violet, black, and neon-red engulfed the sky.
From above, dozens of Hunter AI descended, red eyes glowing, holographic blades spinning in perfect synchronization.
[HUNTER AI – PURGE MODE]
The war was no longer two-sided. It had become a slaughterhouse of three.
Yuto'o surged forward, fractures deepening with each step. His broken sword hummed, glitch aura sparking violently.
[GLITCH WARP FIELD – ACTIVE]
He blinked across the field, reappearing inside the corporate line, cleaving down three avatars in one stroke. Neon sparks exploded, data-blood splattering the sand.
The soldiers panicked.
"Circuit Ghost!"
"Bring him down!"
Yuuki vaulted high, his whip fracturing into a storm of a thousand neon blades.
[PHANTOM OVERRIDE – STRIKE]
The strike swept across a hundred avatars, disintegrating them into glitch fragments. From the edge of the battlefield, hidden eyes watching the war gasped at the sight of the living legend unleashed once again.
Grim roared, his massive blade cleaving through a mech AI in a single swing.
"Hahaha! Corporates, AIs, Ghosts—tonight, Dark Tooth feasts on every drop of blood!"
Then, the black tower itself spoke.
[ACCESS INITIATED – FRAGMENT DETECTED]
[HOLDER: CIRCUIT GHOST]
The core pulsed violently, red light searing outward. Every faction froze, eyes snapping toward it.
Yuuki's jaw tightened. "Kid… the system's reading your Fragment. If you touch that core… Omega Key will fall into your hand."
Orbis shouted over the chaos. "BUT IF YOU FAIL, YOUR CORRUPTION WILL SPIKE STRAIGHT TO 100%!"
Yuto'o lowered his head. Blood-data dripped from his chin. His cracked fingers tightened around his sword hilt.
"I don't care. I'll reach that core… even if I shatter."
From the corporate lines, three golden lights cut through the war.
Lux. Umbra. Vita.
The Trinity Unit descended onto the battlefield, their auras synchronizing, golden blades orbiting in divine precision.
[SYNC PROTOCOL: 50%]
They locked eyes with Yuto'o.
"Circuit Ghost… Omega Server will be your grave."
