A glass of dark, viscous red liquid sat untouched near her hand. While, her crimson eyes were fixed on the black viewport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am only 22 years old. And I am not his historian,\" Reva said, her voice like velvet dragged over gravel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a sip of the red liquid, her lips staining slightly. \"I know what he is, Kylus. I do not know who he was. If you want the tragedy, ask the wolf in the tank. Lyra carries his humanity. I only carry his kills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kylus grunted, unimpressed. \"Great. So you are following a ghost with a god complex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He pays well,\" Rin muttered, shoving a spoonful of mash into his mouth. \"And he doesn't ask stupid questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meal ended in a heavy silence. The tension of the mission, the waiting, and the dying girl in the med-bay hung over them like a shroud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved to the lounge area. Kylus lit a cigarette, ignoring the glare from Vea. Rin went back to sharpening his long, serrated blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast doors hissed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klatos walked in. He looked better—the med-gel had sealed the worst of his burns—but he still moved with a stiff, unnatural gait. He stopped in the center of the room, wringing his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wolf girl,\" Klatos said, his voice raspy. \"Lyra. Is she stabilizing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's dying,\" Viola said bluntly, not looking up from her screen. \"Her DNA is unraveling. Unless you have a Genesis Sequencer in your back pocket, she's toast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klatos licked his dry lips. \"I... I might know someone. Here. On Jupiter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kylus raised an eyebrow, smoke curling from his lips. \"You have contacts in the gas giant? Thought you were a rim-worlder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have friends everywhere,\" Klatos said quickly. \"There's a bio-engineer. An old associate. He deals in... experimental rewriting. He could fix her. But I need the data. The scans, the degradation rates, the blood work. I need to send it to him to see if he can synthesize a stabilizer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kylus stared at him for a long moment. Then he sighed, flicking ash onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" Kylus said. \"Whatever keeps her alive.\" He turned to Vea, who was leaning against the wall, checking her nails. \"Vea. Go with him. Pull the files from the med-bay server. Encrypt them before you hand them over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vea rolled her eyes, pushing herself off the wall. \"I'm not an errand girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just do it, Vea,\" Kylus muttered, rubbing his temples. \"I have a headache.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vea sighed, smoothing her uniform. \"Fine. Come on, scar-face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked toward the corridor. Klatos followed, his head bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rin watched them go. He stood up, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. Something in Klatos's posture—the stiffness, the sweat on his neck—itched at Rin's instincts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll tag along,\" Rin said, stepping away from the table. \"Make sure he doesn't trip and delete the mainframe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" Klatos said. He stopped in the doorway. He didn't turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vea stopped a few feet ahead of him. She turned back, looking annoyed. \"What now? Did you forget the way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need the files,\" Klatos whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into his jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a datapad. It was a heavy, modified hand-cannon—a rusted, ugly piece of metal designed for one thing only— punching through starship hulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the gun and pointed it point-blank at Vea's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—\" Vea started, her eyes widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was deafening in the confined space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The round caught Vea in the sternum. It didn't just kill her. The explosive payload detonated on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second, Vea was standing there, looking annoyed. The next, she was a mist of red vapor and wet chunks of meat slapping against the metal walls. Her upper body simply ceased to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs stood for a horrific, impossible second before collapsing into the spreading pool of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kylus froze. The cigarette fell from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the wet smear on the blast door that used to be his assistant. He stared at the legs on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence that followed was absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Kylus screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sound of pure, shattered mind. He scrambled over the table, dishes crashing to the floor, his eyes wide, white, and completely insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"VEA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaulted over the ruined table. He reached for the bloody wreckage on the floor, his hands outstretched, but he never made it. A violently expanding invisible barrier slammed into his chest, throwing him backward into the bulkhead with a bone-rattling crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viola appeared from the shadows directly behind Klatos, twin daggers aimed at the base of the traitor's neck. The blades struck an unseen shield, shattering instantly into a dozen metallic shards. The kinetic backlash sent her skidding across the deck, her boots carving deep grooves into the floor plating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rin blurred forward at the same time as Viola. He swung his serrated blade with enough force to cleave a starship hull, aiming directly for the Klatos' torso. But instead, the weapon connected with the invisible wall, sparking violently before repelling him with equal ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?!\" Arlen shouted, drawing her sidearm and firing three rounds into the barrier. The bullets flattened and dropped uselessly to the deck. \"We trusted you, Klatos! Xavier trusted you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rin wiped a streak of blood from his chin, his remaining daggers gripped tight. \"You sold us out, you bastard. Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klatos did not answer. He dropped the heavy cannon to the floor, raising both hands to his chest. His fingers twisted into unnatural angles, forming a complex sequence of arcane seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment inside the room shifted violently. Gravity inverted for a split second, and the lighting strips flickered and died, replaced by a sickly, pulsing violet illumination emanating from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Authority of the Infernal Abyss,\" he chanted, his voice overlapping with a chorus of inhuman rasps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sphere of black energy exploded outward, rapidly expanding into a fifty-meter domain. It consumed the mess hall, the adjacent corridor, and part of the medical bay observation deck. Everything caught inside the domain lost its color, washed in a dead, monochrome gray.\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-06-06T09:45:40.490Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff7ef61be89e263a72ae6cd3e2dfefb38f24421af918115c06b58146c4160961","first-intergalactic-emperor-starting-with-the-an-chapter-529","first-intergalactic-emperor-starting-with-the-an-chapter-527",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-intergalactic-emperor-starting-with-the-an-cover.jpg"]
