The Seeker's energy net engulfed the Dawn's Edge. Lights flickered. Gravity generators screamed. Baylor roared, wrestling the controls as the ship bucked like a spooked horse.
[OMEGA GHOST EMULATION: ACTIVATED - DURATION: 5 MINUTES]
Chitin plates erupted across Lin Mo's skin. His vision fractured into a hundred red lenses. The Seeker wasn't just metal; it was a scent – ozone, void, and… kin.
"Baylor! Evasive Pattern Kappa!" Wu Gen barked, his rusted sword humming as he channeled energy into the ship's failing shields.
Lin Mo moved. Not through the ship. Along its shuddering hull, Omega's claws finding purchase on buckled plating. The Seeker pulsed, its net tightening, draining power.
[ABSORB: KINETIC IMPACT (NET CONTACT) - ENERGY +8 UNITS]
He slammed Omega-clad fists onto the net's anchor point. Not to break it. To feed. The Seeker recoiled, its energy siphoned. The net flickered.
[SEEKER ANALYSIS: PRIMARY CORE VULNERABILITY DETECTED (REAR AXIS)]
The ring projected the weak point. Lin Mo pushed off the hull, a chitinous comet hurtling towards the Seeker's spinning rear section.
A beam of black absence lanced from the Seeker – not at the ship, at him. Pure erasure.
[VOID FIST: OMEGA VARIANT - 15 UNITS]
Lin Mo clapped his Omega claws. A miniature distortion field, mimicking the Seeker's own weapon, bloomed before him. The beams collided.
Silence. Light and void canceled each other. The shockwave tore Lin Mo's Omega plating, hurling him back towards the Dawn's Edge. Baylor caught him with the tractor beam.
[OMEGA GHOST DURATION: 0 MINUTES]
[FLESH INTEGRITY: 63% - MULTIPLE FRACTURES]
[ENERGY: 3 UNITS]
The Seeker, momentarily blinded by its own weapon's backlash, spun erratically.
"NOW!" Wu Gen bellowed.
Silas slammed a fist onto his console. "Gravity Shear deployed!"
Invisible forces twisted space around the Seeker. Its obsidian hull screamed, buckling inward at impossible angles. It imploded, collapsing into a singularity the size of a fist before winking out.
Only cold debris remained.
