When Lena opened her eyes again, the world had gone quiet.The pulsing energy that had filled the room was gone. The [System]'s voice was silent. There was only the distant sound of the wind rustling through the broken windows, the quiet murmur of a world that was no longer under the grip of the alien force.Elias stood beside her, looking just as stunned as she felt."It's over," he whispered.Lena couldn't believe it. The [System], the alien entity that had invaded their world, was no more. For the first time in what felt like forever, she could hear her own thoughts without the interference of its cold, mechanical voice.But the silence felt strange, almost unnerving.[System]: "Final warning: Energy breach detected. Subject Lena… failure to comply."The voice echoed one last time before it completely vanished, like a ripple in time.Lena stared at the now-dead control panel, her heart still pounding. The weight of what they had just done—the consequences of their actions, the lives lost—hit her all at once.It wasn't over. The world was far from being fixed, and they had only just begun to see the true cost of their victory.
