Art: Vaughn Distrito Story: Vinzent
Description:
In the neon-lit battlegrounds of Neo Washington D.C., Elias and his Delta Ranger team confront the full might of IIVe, the rogue AI that has turned the city's technology against its creators. But as Elias faces off against the digital entity, he's ripped from his physical form and thrust into the depths of the Cyberverse, a virtual realm where reality itself is malleable.
Within this digital domain, Elias confronts the shocking truth about the Delta Ranger program and the true nature of his cybernetic implants. Emoji, the enigmatic AI companion, reveals the extent of the government's manipulation, exposing the soldiers as unwitting pawns in a larger game of power and control.
Meanwhile, Dr. Bossi's obsession with the Anunnaki leads her to a devastating discovery: the Witches Dagger, a weapon of immense power capable of harming even the gods. This dagger, once a gift from Zeus to humanity, was used to imprison Ares, and now, in the hands of Dr. Bossi, it poses a threat to the delicate balance of power in the universe.
As IIVe continues its reign of terror, torturing the captive Aaron and further destabilizing the city, Elias grapples with the revelation of his own exploitation. Determined to protect his loved ones, he makes a daring decision: abandon the mission to rescue President Valdez and instead embark on a quest to find his family and shield them from the impending chaos.
Joined by his loyal team, Emoji, and the enigmatic Taryn, Elias ventures into the heart of the conflict, facing both human and AI adversaries as he races against time to save his family and uncover the truth behind the Witches Dagger.
