Max and Sera approached the C-shaped building's entrance cautiously, their footsteps echoing faintly on the concrete floor. Sweat beaded on Max's forehead as he held his M416 tight against his shoulder, methodically scanning every corner and shadow. Sera followed three paces behind, her UMP9 at the ready, its polymer grip slick under her tensed fingers. The tension was palpable, and every sound seemed amplified—the soft hum of the wind outside, the distant staccato of gunfire that pu...

"Let's pick up where we left off, Administrator. We need unity," said sociologist Norris Barry.
"You mean, like a name or a title?" Tang Xiao nodded thoughtfully. "I've actually been thinking about that."
"Not just a title," Norris replied. "We need a history!"
"A history? What kind of history?"
"Our history. Your history. Everyone's history! And it has to be great. Only then will people stand tall and proud in this new world." Norris's eyes gleamed w...

After nabbing Dublack Quinto and his band of smugglers, things finally settled down for the next week or so. The colony resumed its steady growth, humming along like a well-oiled machine.
Around the gas giant, now officially dubbed Endor, they'd set up four resource extraction stations. These babies pumped out helium-3 like there was no tomorrow—prime fuel for the mothership's fusion reactors. The only problem? That was the limit. The mothership only came loaded with four modular mini...

"I get it now... it was the gravitational disturbances from this ship, plus their signal jamming, that made our hyperspace diverter crap out..." Quinto muttered to himself. "I've never seen anything this massive in my life... is this even a spaceship? Or some kind of space station?"
"The real question is, why would a colossal warship like this show up outside the Endor system?" Felasi was on the verge of freaking out. "If that's what's happening, could something have happened to Kenneth...

The CF/A-17 Wraith Fighter—straight out of StarCraft—was the backbone combat aircraft of the Terran Empire.
Tang Xiao quickly realized that the current version of the CF/A-17 Wraith Fighter available for research was just the basic model, not yet equipped with the pulse lasers used for ground attacks.
But hey, even without those upgrades, the Wraith Fighter was still a damn good aircraft capable of operating both inside planetary atmospheres and in the vacuum of space...

Tang Xiao quickly scrolled through the list of legendary figures, disappointed to find most of them locked in an "inaccessible" state. Still, a few names were actually visible.
"What's the deal with the ones I can see? Can I wake them up?" Tang Xiao asked, leaning forward.
[They can't be directly awakened. According to the agreements they made before entering cryosleep aboard the mothership, they're supposed to swear loyalty to you when awakened—but let's be real, for people of ...

"We, Corellia, merchants. We, seek, furs, rare metals. Please, let, us, go home." A cylindrical robot translated one word at a time.
Beside the robot, the three previously captured armed men were sprawled on a table, groaning weakly, occasionally spitting out a word.
Tang Xiao sat across from them in the interrogation room, legs crossed, watching their performance with complete disinterest. Behind him stood T-850, expressionless, feet shoulder-width apart, hands clasped behind his...

Tang Xiao had been completely absorbed in the files. The documents were rapidly merging with the knowledge implanted in his mind, becoming part of who he was now.
But just reading files wouldn't cut it. What really mattered was putting that knowledge to work.

A soft melody pulled Tang Xiao from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked around at the familiar surroundings, letting out a bitter smile.
[Administrator, sorry to bother you, but there's something important that needs your decision.] Qi Jian's voice came through the nearby communicator.
"Whatever it is, it can wait!" Tang Xiao hauled himself off the bed, marched to the bathroom, and ordered the central brain to make the water ice-cold before splashing it roughly on his face.

As Max joined Sera in the game, the matchmaking screen pulsed with a soft blue glow before dissolving into nothingness. Materializing on Spawn Island, Sera immediately sensed something amiss. The usual pre-game chaos—players firing random shots, throwing punches at the air, and performing emotes—was conspicuously absent. She turned a full circle, scanning the eerily quiet surroundings, and saw only Max standing nearby, a luminous "2" hovering above his head like a digital halo.

BOOM——

Lightning crashed down from the heavens with apocalyptic force, splitting the sky open like a cosmic zipper. As the blinding flash faded and the crackling electricity dissipated into the air, everyone's eyes adjusted to reveal something impossible—a muscular humanoid figure stood confidently in the smoking crater where lightning had just struck.
"A god from foreign shores?"

Silence descended like a physical weight.
In the cavernous underground facility, the only sounds that punctured the stunned quiet were the rhythmic, flesh-pulverizing impacts of Tony's armored fists against the Tyrant's increasingly unrecognizable form.

Each blow reverberated through the concrete walls, sending tremors through the floor beneath them. Matthew pressed himself against the wall, his chest...

The sanctuary burned.
Alex, still wielding the power of Susanoo, stood in the devastation as Sam—possessed by Mephisto's essence—circled overhead. The World Tree Avatar wrestled with the corrupted T-Rex while defenders scrambled to evacuate the children. All seemed lost as the rift to Hell widened above them.
But something was wrong.
Or rather, something was exactly as planned.
Amid the chaos, a figure stepped through a shimmering doorway that hadn't been there a m...

The dawn in the sanctuary brought no peace.
Blood-red sunlight filtered through ash-choked skies as tremors rippled through the ground. The World Tree, normally pulsing with serene power, convulsed with unnatural tension. Across its immense canopy, leaves curled and blackened at the edges—shimmering not with their usual ethereal light, but with writhing shadows that seemed to consume the very essence of the sacred tree. Deep cracks appeared along its ancient bark, oozing golden...

The scent of scorched earth and drifting ash clung to the sanctuary's once-pristine air like a shroud of death. Where once there was peace—lush canopies swaying in gentle breezes, warm winds carrying the scent of life, and melodic birdcalls echoing through vibrant foliage—now there was only smoke, blood, and fire. The very essence of the place had been transformed in mere hours, paradise twisted into a vision of hell itself.
The World Tree groaned again, a sound not of wood or wind,...

The World Tree screamed.
Not with sound alone—but with presence, a psychic tremor that shot through every branch, every leaf, every root like lightning tearing through a neural network. The scream resonated at frequencies beyond human hearing yet penetrated to the marrow of every being connected to the sanctuary. It was primal. Ancient. A sound that had not been heard since the dawn of creation.
Dryads dropped where they stood, backs arching in agony as they clutched the...
