The Cosmic Master

The dim light of the abandoned building flickered slightly, casting shadows over the cold, empty room.

The air carried an unsettling stillness, broken only by the sound of slow, deliberate footsteps.

Adam's masked face was expressionless, but his mind was racing as he watched Zero move closer to the unconscious Krish, who was slumped on the ground.

Zero's movements were precise and mechanical, his upgraded robotic body emitting a faint hum.

He crouched next to Krish, gently placing a hand on the man's chest and neck. After a moment, Zero stood, turning back to Adam and the group.

"Lord Adam," Zero announced, his voice calm yet authoritative, "he is unconscious. Vital signs are stable."

Adam's eyes narrowed behind his mask. How could a Power Holder fall unconscious so easily? He couldn't shake the growing unease in his chest. Something felt off, as though they were walking into a larger scheme.
