Reborn Vengeance: A Lady’s Wrath

"When you finally become yourself, the enemy finally knows who to destroy."—Override, Closed Segment: Beta Conflict Phrase

Seventy-two hours after the First Name system completed its fusion, the deep infrastructure of Override began to destabilize.

Apocryphon had sensed it—the full unity of Sofie/Sophia Harrison at the root level of the EON system.

[Override flow rate decreased by 38%][Narrative resistance coefficient increased by 243%][Hostile consciousness has confirmed protagonist identity: Sophia = Real Name]

For the first time, Apocryphon gained the authority to strike directly at the Name of the Body—no longer targeting the world's constructs, but initiating a consciousness war aimed at the very origin of the protagonist.

At Starlight Academy, an emergency report was received from the front lines:A Triple Echo Rift had opened above Silens City. Each rupture represented an unfinished attempt at life—an aborted path Sophia might have taken before her fusion. These fractures were rapidly expanding, shedding negative narrative fragments into reality.

Zhou Yuchen observed the rift via the EON Mirror Array:

First Rift: The crying of young Sophia on the night her identity was stolen, solidified into the creature Shadow Language: Blameborn.

Second Rift: Shattered memories of failed revenge, twisted into Pseudo Protagonist: Fury Sophia.

Third Rift: Falsified recollections from overwritten timelines, taking form as Narrative Interference Entity: Ink-Hollow.

GE-Alpha issued a critical directive:

Before full Echo Collapse initiates, deploy the First Echo Armor.

Having integrated with Sofie, Sophia's core abilities had undergone a full-scale upgrade. Her psyche now operated in dual-core processing mode, allowing her to alternate seamlessly between emotional and logical forms.

As the rifts widened, Sophia called her core team together:

Zhou Yuchen: Now the Echo-Hunters' tactical commander, he had awakened Phase II: Memory Capture.

Xinghui: Able to synchronize with fractured civilizations and temporarily assume control of Silens' decayed memory lattice.

Bai Yunshuang: Reassigned to the front as lead analyst; responsible for deploying narrative disruption traps.

Ares Venn: Following his self-purification in the battle against Noirroot, he had unlocked the power of Repentance Flame.

New Member – Echo-Null: A former enemy, transformed. Their very presence destabilizes Apocryphon's indexing system. True identity: unknown.

Then Override received a burst of corrupted data from an unknown coordinate.

A voice followed—cold, crystalline, and personal.

"You finally dared to admit who you are.Then I shall destroy you."—Apocryphon-Ω

GE-Alpha immediately triggered its Anti-Narrative Critical Module, issuing the following sequence:

[System Forecast: Complete narrative rewrite attempt incoming in 90 hours][Name War Countdown: 89:59:59][Recommended Action: Deploy to Silens Rift. Initiate Anchor Combat Protocol.]

Sophia stood at the balcony of the Override Tower, eyes locked on the tear in the night sky. She felt no fear. No hesitation.

She spoke—clear, unwavering:

"Come on, then. You're not here to destroy me.""You're just afraid I'll take your name back."
