伊桑接过碎片的那一刻,世界陷入寂静.
不是安静——是空了.
风冻结在原地.走廊上闪烁的灯光渐渐暗淡,化为无生命的余烬.甚至远处城市的嗡鸣也消失了,仿佛现实本身吸入了空气,忘记了如何呼吸.
疼痛随之而来.
不是那种尖锐的.
不是那种尖叫的.
而是被重写的痛苦.
伊桑跪下一膝,紧抓胸口,无形的电流撕裂着他.他的心跳蹒跚,每一声砰砰回响,仿佛已不再属于他.
> 警告.
检测到未授权同步.
这次声音不是机械的.
听起来...疲惫.
淡淡的光线沿着伊桑的前臂爬行,形成他不认识却又莫名其妙理解的符号.它们短暂地灼烧,随后沉入皮肤之下.
记忆浮现.
不是他的.
城市在猩红的天空下崩塌.
一张被尸体包围的王座.
一个人——不,是个东西——无聊地看着无数世界终结.
伊桑喘息着,强迫自己坐直.
"什么...你给我了吗?"他低声问.
那个戴兜帽的人后退了一步,似乎现在变得警惕.
"正是你要的,"那人回答."改变命运的方式."
世界瞬间重新运转.
声音同时涌入——风呼啸,警报声在高处响起,伊桑粗重的呼吸声充斥耳边.他踉跄着,几乎要保持平衡.
一个半透明的界面在他眼前闪现.

Ethan stared.
"This thing… is inside me?"
"Yes," the figure said. "And it's already charging you a price."
Ethan frowned. "Price?"
The answer came not from the figure—but from the system itself.

Ethan clenched his fists.
"So I get power," he said slowly, "and in return… I lose myself."
The hooded figure's voice softened.
"Everyone who reaches for godhood pays that toll. The question is whether you'll stop before there's nothing left to lose."
Footsteps echoed from the far end of the corridor.
Armed silhouettes emerged from the shadows—black armor, glowing visors. Enforcers.
The figure cursed under their breath. "They're faster than I expected."
Ethan looked at the approaching soldiers, then back at the interface still hovering before him.
3% Authority.
Severe limitation.
Unstable identity.
He took a breath.
"Guess this is where I find out," he said quietly, "if it was worth it."
The system pulsed.
