The fortress interior buzzed with activity. Energy lines flickered along the Nexus walls as Lin Feng activated the newly installed War Protocol Console. Holograms of nearby zones floated before him, all marked with flickering crimson dots—invaders.

"Three waves, and a mini-boss already?" Lin Feng cracked his knuckles. "Alright, let's stress-test my broken system."
He navigated the Summon Pad, a shimmering hex-based UI spinning with tiers of unlockable units.

Beams of violet light struck the fortress platform. Units materialized—some armored in reflective chrome, others phasing in and out of reality with each breath. Their forms shimmered like unstable ideas forced into solid shape.
"Your orders, Sovereign?" asked a Phaseblade Archon, kneeling with its blade fracturing light into a thousand glitchy prisms.
Lin Feng stood, his cloak now embedded with gold-thread circuit runes.
"Defense Line Sigma Pattern. Delay the first wave. Save mana? No—burn it all."

The Quantum Phoenix perched overhead released a deafening cry, its flames distorting the air into warped geometry. Behind Lin Feng, the Mythic Tech Generator pulsed—spitting out a new core.

He glanced at the screen again.

Outside, the skies turned pitch black. Monsters of data and flesh charged across the field. Lin Feng raised one hand, casting spells with no chant, no cost, no end.

Lin Feng grinned.
"Let's rewrite this world from its source code."
