The rooftop trembled under the weight of Project Omega's landing.
The storm of war raged around them—gunfire, explosions, tracer rounds lighting the sky—
But for Ryo?
Everything else faded.
Because this?
This was the final fight.
And Omega?
Hellion's last, greatest weapon.
> [PROJECT OMEGA: DESIGNATION – PERFECT IRONBORN.]
[WARNING: COMBAT EFFICIENCY EXCEEDS 100%.]
Omega tilted its head, watching Ryo.
> "You are obsolete."
Then—it moved.
The First Clash
BOOM.
Omega's first step shattered the rooftop, a blur of motion as it lunged straight for Ryo.
Ryo dodged left, barely avoiding a fist that cratered the steel floor where he'd been standing.
Before he could counter—Omega's other hand shot forward.
Ryo **blocked—**but the impact sent him flying.
CRASH.
He slammed into a reinforced support beam, his vision flickering.
> [WARNING: INTERNAL DAMAGE AT 67%.]
Omega walked toward him, unhurried.
> "You were a failure."
Its red eyes burned.
> "I am perfection."
The Evolution of War
Ryo forced himself up, wiping blood from his mouth.
Pain ripped through his body.
But pain meant he was still alive.
The system pinged.
> [LIMITER RELEASE – FINAL STAGE AVAILABLE.]
[WARNING: UNTESTED POWER OUTPUT.]
> "Ohhhh, rookie. You wanna go full monster? This is your shot."
Ryo exhaled.
Then—he smiled.
The Ironborn Unleashed
> [FINAL LIMITER REMOVED.]
[POWER OUTPUT: 200%.]
The ground beneath him cracked.
His veins pulsed with raw energy.
Omega stopped. For the first time—it hesitated.
> "Impossible."
Ryo's eyes burned.
> "Let's find out."
Then—he attacked.
The Final Strike
Omega swung—
Ryo caught the punch mid-air.
Then—he twisted.
CRACK.
Omega's entire arm ripped free.
Before it could react—Ryo was inside its guard.
A brutal uppercut to the core—
The plating buckled.
A knee to the skull—
Omega staggered.
> "ERROR. SYSTEM FAIL—"
Ryo didn't let it finish.
He drove his fist straight through Omega's chest.
The Fall of Hellion
Omega twitched.
Its red eyes flickered—then dimmed.
Then—
It collapsed.
And just like that—
Hellion's last defender was dead.
The War Ends Here
Serra's voice crackled over comms. "Ryo! The command tower is breached! We've won!"
Karin laughed. "Holy shit, we actually did it!"
Krieg grinned, wiping blood from his lip. "About time."
Ryo stood over Omega's corpse, exhaling.
The war was over.
Hellion was finished.
And now?
It was time to rebuild the world.
