The plan was a brutal, high-risk gambit. The Aethel-Arms null-field generator arrived—a massive, humming vehicle that created a fragile bubble of safety around The Static.
Anya and Jax would lead the main pack in a direct, brutal assault on the Spire's main entrance. Their job was to be the anvil, drawing every Kronos soldier to them.
Kaelen, Rorke, and Elara would take the null-field vehicle itself, using its protection to ram through the Spire's lower-level service entrance—the hammer. Kaelen would get to the broadcast chamber and upload his counter-frequency.
As they sped through the chaotic streets, Kaelen saw the Omega Pulse's effect firsthand. People weren't just panicked; they were physically ill, disoriented. Kronos wasn't just targeting Lycans; they were pacifying the entire population with a weapon of mass suffering.
They hit the service bay at full speed. The crash was deafening. As Kaelen and Elara scrambled out, Rorke held the breach, his renewed rage a terrifying weapon against the surprised Kronos guards.
The race to the top had begun.
