Metaverse of Mechas

📘 Chapter 148

🌌 Scene 1: Collision of Fragments

As dawn broke over the shattered sky of Sector Kaine, five glowing threads of Krono spiraled through the air—each representing a Helix Fragment resonating with violent urgency.

Zeron and Kaelis landed amid smoldering debris, breathless but alive. Their Krono signatures still flickered from synchronization, echoing with a strange rhythm neither fully understood.

Kaelis (touching her temple): "Do you hear that hum… like music?"

Zeron: "No. Not music. It's a countdown."

💥 Scene 2: Elyas Descends

Above them, a singularity opened, and through it emerged Elyas, the long-lost Fifth Host—clad in ancient battle-armor of obsidian alloy, infused with black and crimson Krono veins. His presence bent gravity, and his eyes glowed with something more ancient than the Helix itself.

Elyas: "So you're the ones who awakened the loop. Good. I've been bored."

Kaelis immediately took position, drawing her weapon: Aetherlance Zero. Zeron powered up his arm-mounted module, channeling a stream of unstable Krono.

Kaelis (whispers): "He's different… he's been merged with something else."

Elyas (grinning): "Merged? No, little gear-child. I devoured it."

Elyas struck, and the landscape fractured, sending both Kaelis and Zeron tumbling through layers of warped terrain.

🧬 Scene 3: The Rebel Signal

Elsewhere, Arin was in containment, surrounded by a secret rebel faction known as The Circuit—a group that worshipped Krono's true origin as a gift from a fallen god known only as Nythra.

One of the rebels, a masked old woman named Sola, placed her hand on Arin's chest.

Sola: "You are the Alpha Warden. The firstborn of Nythra's spark. You were never meant to be a soldier."

Arin's pulse surged, and for the first time, her Krono took shape—a crystalline rose fractal spinning in midair.

Sola: "You will soon face Oblivion itself. But first... we must awaken your memory of Before."

🛡️ Scene 4: Oblivion Frame Unleashed

Oblivion Frame finally descended from the upper atmosphere like a god of extinction.

It walked with thunderous steps toward the battlefield, its limbs crackling with anti-Krono bursts. Any mecha or construct nearby instantly dissolved under its anti-energy field.

Inside, the AI readout was cold and absolute:

Oblivion Protocol: Helix Host Detected. Lethal Purge Authorized.

Its first missile barrage targeted Kaelis and Zeron's location.

They only had seconds.

Kaelis (shouting): "MOVE!"

Zeron pulled her down as the world behind them exploded in violet-white plasma.

🧊 Scene 5: The Frozen God Awakens

Beneath the oldest ruins of the world—far below—ice cracked. Something massive stirred beneath layers of forgotten centuries.

A single golden eye blinked.

"The Helix stirs again... and so must I."

The Frozen God—a being from the origin cycle of Krono—began to awaken. MODUS felt it immediately.

MODUS: "Anomaly detected. Chrono-Cycle 0-B returns. Estimated system collapse: 3 minutes."

MODUS accelerated its Origin Reset countdown.

💫 Scene 6: One Last Sync

Kaelis and Zeron, bloodied but alive, stared at each other.

Zeron: "We can't stop all of this."

Kaelis: "Not yet. But if we survive one more moment… just one… the Helix will do the rest."

They joined hands—and their Krono loop surged.

Together, they became something more—a living conduit of the fifth Krono resonance.

Elyas laughed as he charged again.

Elyas: "Show me if your love can kill a god!"

The battlefield became a storm.
