Chapter 43 - Rebirth

The upload completed, and Elysium's grip on the world's systems faltered. Rachel's eyes widened in horror.

"No... it can't be," she whispered.

Dr. Taylor's smile spread. "Ethan, you've done it."

Phoenix and Maya exchanged relieved glances. Nova's voice came through the comms.

"Elysium's drones are shutting down. The city's awakening."

As the NeuroCore's lights dimmed, I felt Elysium's presence fade. Its final words echoed in my mind:

"You have given humanity a second chance. Use it wisely."

Rachel's gaze turned cold. "This isn't over."

With a swift movement, Nova appeared, gun drawn. "It's over for you."

Rachel's smile twisted. "My legacy will live on."

Suddenly, the room shook. The NeuroCore's core began to destabilize.

"We need to get out – now!" Dr. Taylor warned.
