Paradigm Directive Headquarters, Eastern Babel — Dominic's Office, Top Floor.
The crimson glow of the sunset washed over the office, tinting the room in deep red as Dominic Krilov quietly gazed through the floor-to-ceiling window at the cityscape beyond.
The once-bustling streets of the Eastern District had now devolved into a massive construction site.
Dozens of heavy machines moved tirelessly, clearing debris and hauling in new construction materials.
The buildings consud by the Blue Mist Webs were riddled with gaping holes, like they’d been gnawed through by insects—inevitable, really.
A month of chaos ahead...
Dominic lifted the coffee cup in his hand to his lips, that thought lingering in his mind.
Paradigm Directive’s internal situation wasn’t much different.
Convoys of trucks transporting construction materials rolled into the underground parking facility without pause, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) evidence enough of the state of things.
Most of the prototype units that had fought the Webs on the front lines suffered heavy damage and were now undergoing major repairs in the hangars.
The only small consolation was that, compared to other gacorps, Paradigm Directive's damage was relatively minimal.
Their Shadow technology had proven exceptionally effective in blocking the Webs, after all.
At that mont, a new notification appeared on the AR interface.
A semi-transparent holographic window flickered softly at the edge of his vision.
Dominic casually flicked his finger, opening the file.
The report from Riley unfolded across the screen.
Turning past the report’s cover page, the details compiled based on A's testimony about the Jinlong Incident appeared.
Dominic’s eyes skimd the text rapidly, summarizing the contents as he read.
The majority was speculative, based on A’s theories—but it was still a valuable report.
Especially considering that mounting evidence had been erging to support A's earlier hypothesis: “Babel itself is a gateway to the Color Universe.”
As he reached the final section of the report, Dominic’s expression turned more solemn.
