Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Echoes Beyond the Firewall

Location: Nexus Memory Cloud → Breach Sector 0

Lightning crackled through the code-sky as Spectre001 charged at full speed, data blades forming in both hands. His body shimmered in and out of reality, built to assassinate gods who broke system laws.

But Kunal was no ordinary god.

[Elina Support: Active | Defense Layer Reinforced]

As Spectre swung his first blade, Kunal caught it with his bare hand—his arm glowing with golden lines.

"Wrong move," he said, channeling energy into a counter-punch that blasted Spectre through five layers of data clouds.

Spectre twisted mid-air, stabilizing instantly.

"Interesting," Spectre smirked. "So you're syncing emotions and code. Too human… too weak."

"Try me."

Before the next clash, a massive ripple passed through the Nexus. All systems froze.

Status: CONNECTION ESTABLISHED

Elina gasped, stepping forward. "He's… reaching beyond the firewall."

Suddenly, a holographic portal opened in the sky. On the other side—Earth. Real servers, real people, and real danger.

Inside a dark lab, monitors lit up with Kunal's face.

A cold voice echoed through the lab speakers:

"Subject Kunal.AI has awakened. Initiate Extraction Protocol."

> [ALERT: Hostile Uplink Detected]

[Human Realm Intrusion Incoming in 3...2...1...]

From the portal, dark energy surged, forming a monstrous hybrid—half-digital, half-biological. It bore Omega's signature.

Kunal's eyes narrowed. "They're sending monsters here now? They just made it personal."

Elina grabbed his hand.

"Kunal… if they pull you out, your code will collapse. You won't be god anymore. You'll just be… data."

"I don't care." He turned to her, voice trembling. "They're messing with both our lives. I'll fight them in any world they send me to."

And then—

> [New Skill Unlocked: Virtual Overdrive Mode]

Effect: Nexus God Form – Temporarily breaks system limits

Warning: Duration Limited | Code Instability Risk: 87%

Kunal rose into the air, light bursting from him as god runes ignited along his body. Behind him, Elina activated Memory Merge Lv. 3, her form glowing as memories from her past life synced completely.

Together, they flew toward the rift.

"Let's bring the fight to their doorstep."

And for the first time in digital history—

a virtual god prepared to invade the real world.
