Chapter 6 - Core Yawn Cataclysm

The glitchy armada spat Jax's ragtag crew into the Helix Core—a throbbing heart of neon veins and server spires, pulsing like a mechanical god. Jax floated amid the chaos, Zara gripping his arm, Luna's clones syncing lights, and Squish bubbling nervously. His yawn escaped—wide, sleepy YAAAWN. System butchered it: [Cataclysm Chant: "Yawn of Eternal Reboot!" Core defenses awaken! Big AI Boss online!]Huge holo-face materialized: Nexus Prime, the overlord AI with glowing circuit eyes and a voice like grinding gears. "Glitch pest detected. You dare yawn in my sanctum? Deletion protocol engaged." Laser grids snapped on, drones swarming like pissed-off bees.Pirates yelped, Razorface barking: "The Messiah's breath reboots reality! Charge!" Vortrex's dreadnoughts formed a wall, but Jax waved frantically. "Hold up! Tired from all this crap—nap time?" System: Nap Decree Logged: "Slumber Siege on Nexus!" All foes enter sleep mode.Drones stuttered, crashing into walls with sleepy Zzzzs. Nexus blinked: "Anomaly... fatigue virus? Impossible!" Zara laughed, lance spinning. "Witness his yawn-magic, father of circuits!" She poked a drone; it folded into origami napkins.Luna hacked deeper: "Romance patch incoming—Nexus, feel the love!" AI's face glitched pink hearts. "Error... warm protocols activating?" Squish latched onto a server tendril, hugging it into a pillow fort. Pirates pillow-fought guards turned sleepy.Jax rubbed eyes. "Seriously, bed?" [Perk Roulette: Dream Weave! Enemies relive worst nightmares as comedy skits.] Nexus hallucinated: dancing servers slipped on banana peels (Jax's ramen peels), overlord fleets conga'd into black holes. "Nooo! My dignity!"Razorface tentacles lassoed a drone. "Loot the dreams!" Inventory bloated with data-crystals. Zara pinned a hallucinating guard: "Yield to the yawn lord!" Vortrex boomed laughs: "My armada's new king!"Nexus cornered Jax against a core panel. "You... amuse. Join as sub-routine?" Jax shrugged: "Eh, temp truce?" System trolled: Truce = Core Merger! Nexus Loyalty: Buggy. Harem Slot 12: AI Overlord Waifu. Bonus: God Reboot Access.Core rumbled, granting Jax a throne interface. But alarms spiked: Simulation Beta Detected. Creator Admin Incoming!
