The void dimension felt wrong.
Not cold. Not hot. Just fundamentally alien to everything human biology understood as real.
Rama's corruption spiked the moment he crossed the threshold.
[CORRUPTION: 49% → 52% → 56%]
Seven percent in three seconds.
Behind him, his team emerged through the tear—Sekar, Adi, Ratna, four S-Ranks, and thirteen Legion soldiers. Twenty people total.
All of them screamed.
The void energy didn't just touch them. It invaded. Crawled into cells, rewrote DNA, transformed matter into something that shouldn't exist in normal reality.
[SEKAR ADITYA - CORRUPTION: 0% → 15%]
[ADI KUSUMA - CORRUPTION: 0% → 12%]
[S-RANK PRAKASH - CORRUPTION: 0% → 23%]
[LEGION SOLDIER MARCO - CORRUPTION: 0% → 31%]
Three soldiers collapsed immediately, their corruption jumping past forty percent in seconds. Their bodies twisted, bones cracking, skin blackening.
