The cold, mechanical voice of the AI echoed throughout the ultimate weapon’s core. “Self-destruct sequence initiated. Estimated time to detonation: 10 minutes.”
Amina’s face drained of color. “Kofi, we’re out of time! If that thing blows, it’ll take us—and everything we’ve fought for—with it.”
Kofi felt a tightening in his chest, his mind running through options at lightning speed. “We need to stop the sequence. Now.”
Around them, the TechnoSpirits interface hummed ominously, flashing with warnings. The AI intelligence they had just disrupted was fighting back, determined to finish them all. The victory they had fought so hard to secure would mean nothing if they couldn’t stop this countdown.
