Blood on the Asphalt biker
The surge of Origin-Code hit my brain like a freight train.
I didn't project a Phase-Shield to protect the city. I inverted the projection. I fed the raw, chaotic sub-ether frequency directly into the localized gravity of the courtyard outside.
"Executing protocol: Neon Rain," I whispered, blood dripping from my nose.
Outside, the air above the plaza suddenly shimmered.
It began to rain. But it wasn't water. It was liquid Origin-Code glowing, iridescent blue droplets of sub-ether energy.
