The air around Jack seemed to hum with an unseen power, a force that felt as though it could tear apart the very fabric of reality. He could barely breathe, as if the atmosphere itself had thickened to the point of suffocation. His mind raced, trying to make sense of what was happening. This was not just a high-tech facility; it was a place that defied the laws of physics, a rift in the very nature of the universe.Jack glanced around, trying to comprehend the impossible landscape before him. The walls of the chamber pulsed with energy, shifting and warping in ways that defied logic. The ground beneath his feet seemed to bend and ripple, as if the laws of gravity had no hold here. He could feel his own weight shifting, his body struggling to stay grounded."Is this... is this what they've been hiding?" Jack's voice came out in a hoarse whisper, the weight of the discovery pressing down on him.Rhea stood next to him, her eyes glowing with an eerie, otherworldly light. She didn't seem affected by the gravitational distortions around them. "This is just the beginning, Jack. The power to control gravity—this is what Hesta has been searching for, and it's what your parents were trying to unlock."Jack's mind reeled. "Control gravity? But... this isn't possible. This kind of power could destroy everything."Rhea's smile was bitter, almost sad. "That's the problem, isn't it? Hesta believes they can control it. But they don't understand it. They think they can reshape the world, bend it to their will. But this... this force is ancient, far beyond their control. And far beyond yours."A wave of cold dread washed over Jack. If this force was truly as powerful as Rhea implied, then no one—least of all Hesta—could possibly hope to control it. And if his parents had been involved, they had been playing with something far more dangerous than Jack had ever imagined.Jack's hand tightened around the grip of his handgun. He had to stop Hesta. He had to stop them from using this power to reshape the world. But how could he fight something so vast, so incomprehensible?He glanced at Rhea. She had been a part of this. She had willingly joined forces with Hesta. The realization stung. The person he had once hoped to save had already made her choice."I won't let you or Hesta control this," Jack said, his voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside him.Rhea's eyes flickered with something—regret, perhaps, or resignation. She shook her head slowly. "You don't understand, Jack. It's not just about control. It's about survival. Hesta has already crossed the line. They've awakened something they can't put back to sleep."Before Jack could respond, the ground beneath them shook violently. A deep rumbling sound echoed through the chamber as the walls began to tremble. Jack's heart raced as he realized what was happening. The rift in gravity—the energy they had disturbed—was starting to spiral out of control."We have to stop it!" Jack shouted, but Rhea was already moving toward the center of the room, where the cylindrical chamber stood, its glow intensifying by the second."No, Jack," Rhea said, her voice sharp. "You can't stop it. You're not ready. No one is."Jack ignored her, racing toward the chamber. He couldn't let this power fall into the wrong hands. He had to do something, anything to prevent Hesta from using it. He had come too far to let it slip away now.The ground cracked open beneath him as the gravitational force around them grew stronger. Jack fought to keep his balance as he neared the chamber. His body felt heavier with every step, as if the very air was pressing against him.Rhea's voice echoed through the chamber, distant and distorted. "Jack, you don't know what you're doing. The force you're trying to control—it's beyond comprehension. You'll never survive it."But Jack was beyond listening. He had no choice. He had to try.With one final burst of strength, Jack reached the center of the chamber. He could feel the power surging around him, the air crackling with energy. His senses were overwhelmed by the sensation of being torn apart and rebuilt at the same time. The gravitational distortions twisted reality itself, and Jack felt as though he were floating between dimensions.But just as he reached out to touch the source of the energy, a sharp pain shot through his chest. He gasped, stumbling backward, and fell to his knees.Rhea was standing in front of him now, her eyes cold and unforgiving. "I told you, Jack. This is a force you can't control."Jack's vision blurred as the pain intensified. He felt the weight of the world pressing down on him, but his determination burned brighter than ever. With one last, desperate effort, he reached into his pocket and activated the device his parents had left him. The energy that surged through his body was unlike anything he had ever felt—raw, untamed, and powerful.The rift in gravity began to stabilize, the violent distortions slowing as Jack's body absorbed the energy. His senses sharpened, and he could feel the very fabric of space bending around him. It was working. He was fighting back.Rhea stepped back, her face a mixture of awe and fear. "You... you shouldn't be able to do this. You're not supposed to have this power."But Jack's focus was absolute. The device was amplifying his strength, allowing him to channel the energy in ways he never thought possible. He wasn't just resisting the force now—he was controlling it.With one final, decisive push, Jack focused every ounce of his will on the chamber. The energy around him exploded in a burst of light, and the gravitational rift collapsed in on itself. The chamber trembled violently, and for a moment, everything went black.
