Disguised as employees, Sia and Anthony entered the BioGenesis tower. Its interior was a labyrinth of shimmering corridors, the walls alive with pulsating energy. Drones floated silently, scanning every movement.
Sia's heart raced as they passed rows of stasis chambers. Each held a person suspended in eerie serenity, their bodies wired to the Stone's energy conduits.
"They're prisoners," Anthony whispered. "And he's draining them to feed his obsession."
Their journey led them to the core of the tower, where they found Elias Veyron himself. He stood before a machine that glowed with the Infinity Stone's raw power, his presence exuding both brilliance and menace.
"I've been expecting you," Elias said, turning to face them. His smile was cold. "You've come to destroy what you don't understand."
Sia stepped forward. "You're killing people, twisting the natural order. This isn't progress—it's tyranny."
Elias laughed, his voice echoing. "Progress requires vision. Sacrifice. I've seen the end of all things, and I alone hold the key to humanity's survival."
Anthony drew his blade. "Not at the cost of innocent lives."
