Neo-Kyo City, 2035—a metropolis torn between technology and class divide.**  
Lin Shen, a programmer, accidentally bonds with an alien relic, the "Entropy Core," gaining the power to reverse localized entropy at the cost of his deteriorating DNA. To save his sister, who suffers from ALS, he reluctantly allies with Bai Ye, a hybrid experiment, to combat the Entropy Shadows—alien parasites controlling human elites.  
**Core Conflicts**:  
- **Clash of Technology and Supernatural**: Quantum shields, dark matter erosion, photon weaponry.  
- **Survival vs. Morality**: The price of power (genetic collapse, consciousness corruption).  
- **Class and Betrayal**: Hypocrisy among elites, factional divides among rebels.  
**Highlights**: Hard sci-fi mechanics × social allegory × multi-dimensional character motivations.

Fractured Realms: Neo-Kyo Revelation

The Spire-Tree's petals rained entropy storms across Neo-Kyo. Buildings melted into fractal patterns, citizens fused with shadows, and gravity fractured. Bai Ye led survivors into the **Echo Vaults**—underground bunkers shielded by dead timelines' echoes.

- **Echo Walkers**: Refugees from erased realities, their bodies flickering between forms.

- **The Thorned Prophet**: A survivor preaching that the serpent's rebirth is "divine will."

To counter Mira, Lin Shen merged with the Pruning Blade and the Entropy Flame. His body became a living paradox—crystal and flame, Arbiter and rebel.

- **Mira**: Commanded roots that twisted into serpentine monsters.

- **Lin Shen**: Sliced through realities, each strike erasing a fragment of the Spire-Tree.

- **Bai Ye**: Protected civilians with a photon shield fueled by her fading memories.

- Ghosthand's prosthetic disintegrated, his final act corrupting Mira's hive-mind.

- The Thorned Prophet sacrificed himself to seal a rift, his body petrified into a warning statue.

Lin Shen plunged the Pruning Blade into the Spire-Tree's heart. Light consumed everything.
