[WARNING: High-Ranked Enemy Detected.]
[Permission required to initiate LAST DOOM PROTOCOL.]
[Authorize? Y / N]
Will stared at the glowing screen for several long seconds, his mind blanking out as the warning repeated itself in silent crimson letters.
He had expected danger on this journey, but he had not expected the system to escalate things so aggressively, especially against a single individual who had yet to even attack him directly.
"Wait," Will said slowly, his brows knitting together. "What the hell is the LAST DOOM PROTOCOL?"
[Host, please authorize it.]
The system's tone was unusually serious, devoid of its usual teasing undertone. That alone made Will uneasy.
"What happens to the vehicle if I authorize it?" Will asked, his eyes flicking back to the monitor where the girl still stood with her hand raised, holding the SATD-V suspended midair as if gravity itself had decided to betray its own rules.
