"They have begun," Seraphina whispered, her voice layered with the hollow echo of the Void Symbiote. Through her eyes, Arthur saw the satellites of the Helios Corporation shifting their orbits. Massive lenses of Qi-gold were focusing the sun's rays directly onto Aetheria Academy.
The 'Solar Flare Protocol' was a localized extinction event. In ten minutes, the academy and everyone inside—students, professors, and evidence of the Helios family's failures—would be turned to molecular ash.
"Perfect," Arthur said, his fingers drumming against his knee. "If I stop them now, I'm just a rebel. But if I let them fire, and then I extinguish their 'God-Sun' in front of the whole world... I become the only thing they fear more than death."
Arthur closed his eyes, activating the Symbiotic Link. He felt the data flowing from Seraphina's vision into his D-Core. He wasn't just watching the satellites; he was calculating the dimensional coordinates of their energy beams.
He reached into the air and pulled. Using D-4 (The Breach), he didn't tear the sky this time; he "anchored" the local dimension of the academy to his own Void Core.
"Seraphina, tell me the exact moment of the flare," Arthur commanded. "I want to catch their sun in my hand."
