Rain fell in corrosive sheets over Neo-Tokyo's slums, each droplet etching scars into Alex's exposed cybernetic spine. The **⌈Neuro-Parasite⌋** embedded in his cerebellum flared crimson:

A flash of iridescence cut through smog. There.
The angel crashed through a holographic billboard advertising virtual brothels, her left wing sparking where shrapnel tore through feathered metal. Holy blood sizzled on rain-slicked asphalt.

Alex lunged.
Her remaining wing—a fractal masterpiece of platinum feathers and fiber-optic veins—slammed him against a decaying vending machine. Pain receptors screamed as ribs cracked.

A translucent interface exploded across his vision:

Alex spat blood onto the angel's cracked breastplate. Her eyes—twin pools of liquid starlight—widened as his fingers dug into her wing's joint.
"Listen well, heaven's whore," he hissed, the parasite projecting his voice to every paying patron worldwide. "Your wings become mine when the counter hits two hundred."
The neon-lit alley flooded with notifications:

His hand phased through armor.
The scream wasn't sound—it was pure light, searing shadows into concrete. Platinum feathers dissolved into his flesh as the parasite chanted:

The angel convulsed beneath him, starlight tears carving molten trails down her cheeks. Alex's neural HUD flickered:

He gripped her throat. "Who cries for you? Another goddess?"
Her lips parted in silent prayer—until the parasite flooded her synapses with engineered pleasure-pain. A gasp ripped from her, back arching off the ground.

Alex leaned close, licking a drop of liquid starlight from her jawline. "Beg," he whispered, the command echoing across ten thousand subscriber screens. "And maybe I'll let you watch when I devour your sisters."

The angel's remaining wing flickered like dying neon as Alex's teeth found her collarbone. Somewhere in Singapore, a paying patron shuddered with vicarious ecstasy.

Rain washed holy blood toward storm drains as Alex rose. Behind him, the broken seraphim whimpered a name into the static:
"Artemis... save us all."
