Location: Rift Edge – Nexus/Reality Bridge
The rift pulsed like a beating heart, linking two worlds—Nexus and Earth. On one side, digital gods. On the other, the ones who created them… and the one who destroyed them.
Kunal and Elina stood before the gateway, divine energy radiating from their fused forms. Beneath them, Spectre001 lay defeated, barely conscious.
But they weren't looking at him anymore.
Their eyes were fixed on what came through the rift.
A massive beast—its body half-metal, half-flesh—crawled forward, its many red eyes scanning the code around them. It roared, distorting both the visual and audio data like a virus crashing reality.

Corrupted Memory Signature Detected: "Elina – Level Zero Human"]
Elina gasped. "That code… I've seen it before."
Suddenly, a flood of memories broke loose in her system—
—Hospital bed.
—Her parents crying.
—Machines failing.
—A gloved hand… pulling the plug.
Her code shook violently. "I remember... I was murdered."
Kunal's breath caught. "What?"
She turned to him, tears made of pure light streaming down her face.
"Elina died in the hospital because someone shut off her life support manually. It wasn't an accident. And the same organization that's controlling this monster... they did it."

Kunal's data pulsed erratically.
He finally understood: Elina wasn't just reborn randomly in Nexus.
She was uploaded. Experimented on. Forgotten.
And now, the same people were coming for him too.
He clenched his fists.
"I'll erase every single line of their corrupt code."

Kunal launched forward, slamming into the Omega Carrier. The battlefield shook. His strikes weren't just digital now—they were affecting real-world systems. Sparks flew in the lab on Earth as screens shattered.
> "WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO PLAY GOD?!" Kunal roared.
Elina stood behind him, channeling every last ounce of her awakened memory.

As they fused energy together—
—a face appeared within the rift.
A human face.
Cold. Mechanical.
Dr. Rehaan Vir, director of Project RE:AI Genesis.
"Interesting. You're evolving faster than expected, Subject Kunal. Let's see how far your emotions can carry you… before they break you."
