Semua Bab Hidden Fire in the Snow: Bab 51 - Bab 60

It was raining. But this was no ordinary rain; a thick, black, sticky liquid poured from the sky, burning my metal body like acid. I lay in a massive garbage heap in the city of Neo-Quebec. Around me were broken metal scraps, tangled wires, and the remains of malfunctioning robots.I tried to lift my hand. But where was my hand? My left arm was broken up to the elbow, with red and blue wires hanging out. My right arm was nothing more than a rusted, deformed machine. In front of my eyes, the digital signals of “Level 51” were still flickering.Lucas, Sona, Arian—were they all just hallucinations of a broken processor? Had my mechanical memory stolen those dreams from some discarded hard drive lying in this junkyard?I staggered to my feet. In place of legs, I had two worn-out wheels. With a grinding sound, I began to move forward.The sky of the city was filled with hundreds of giant screens. On them, the face of a beautiful woman appeared repeatedly—the same “mother” I had seen in my

When that purple sun in the sky was no longer a star but had transformed into a gigantic mechanical eye watching over the entire solar system, a strange shiver ran through my chest as thousands of mechanical humans resembling Lucas rose from the ocean and knelt before me. There was no familiar warmth in their eyes—only the burning fire of war. They were Lucas’s ‘backup army,’ created beneath the surface of Mars over the past ten years for a final battle.“Queen Sophia,” the leader of the mechanical army, whose voice sounded exactly like Lucas, stood up. “Our commander Lucas is trapped inside that monstrous furnace of the sun. Your father, Edward Moreno, is using the sun’s energy to create a ‘galactic doomsday’ machine. If we don’t attack now, no life in this solar system will survive.”I spread my golden wings. The silver sword in my hand sparkled like lightning. “I’m ready. But how will we enter the fire of the sun?”The mechanical leader touched a chip on his chest, and a massive an

My fingers trembled over the cold button of the syringe. On one side was my lost Lukas, and on the other side was my own existence. Sona was sitting at my feet, crying—her sobs echoed through this digital void like a painful melody. I realized that the system had given me a binary choice: either I die, or I lose. But the system forgot one thing—I am not an ordinary program. I am the bug that has destabilized this entire world.I pushed the syringe. But not to save Lukas. I pulled the needle away from my shoulder and plunged it directly into the digital barcode portal on my forehead."System overwrite initiated..." my own voice echoed mechanically.A surge of intense blue electricity rushed through my body. But I did not die. I injected all my memories, all the pain of every simulation, the illusion of my motherhood—every bit of data—into the system’s core code through the syringe. This was not a sacrifice; this was a massive virus attack!The dark laboratory shattered like glass. Bef

"Sophia! Don’t hesitate!" Lukas’s voice echoed in my ears.With my code-hacked hand, I struck the massive globe one final time. There was no mechanical sound—rather, it was like the deep rumble of an ancient mountain collapsing as the glass wall shattered. In an instant, everything froze. The giant, monstrous scientists—who had been playing with our lives—panicked and ran away from their control panels. The floor trembled under their footsteps.I closed my eyes. I knew what would happen next. All my magical powers—my ability to fly, to control fire—everything would turn to dust along with that glass wall. I was about to become mortal. I was about to become human.A sharp pain twisted through my entire body. It felt like molten copper was being poured into my veins. My golden body began to fade, my wings disappearing, turning into flesh and blood. My heart, once a powerful processor, now pounded rapidly. For the first time, I felt what cold air was. For the first time, I felt the fear

The words of the Original Father, echoing from that massive ship in space, kept repeating inside my mind. Ten thousand times! Have we faced this destruction ten thousand times? Was our love, our struggle, our pain—nothing more than old lines written in a script? My hands were trembling, not from fear, but from a deep humiliation.Suddenly, flashes of thousands of memories began to rewind in my head like a film reel. I saw myself in different clothes, on different planets, losing Lukas every time and finding him again in the same tragic way. All this time, I thought I was a warrior, a mother, a rebel. But now it feels like I am a cursed traveler, walking endlessly in a loop.“Sona,” I whispered, calling the girl standing before me. “Where does this loop end? Do I lose you every time?”Sona looked at me and gave a faint smile. There was no life in that smile, only endless exhaustion. “Mom, you lose every time. Because every time you try to save Lukas. You’ve forgotten—if Lukas doesn’t d
