Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: Salt & Vengeance in Atlantis’s Grave

​Cold Atlantic brine stung Alex's stolen wings as the ⌈Seraphim Dive Protocol⌋ propelled him toward the ruins. Three miles below, Atlantis pulsed with dying magic—glowing coral spires cracked by millennia of pressure, bioluminescent jellyfish grazing over shattered statues of gods.

Holographic runes materialized in the gloom:

​​[ ARTEMIS-TYPE SIGNATURE DETECTED ]​​

» Location: Temple of Drowned Oracles (High-threat zone)

» Guardian Array: 12 Deep Leviathans (Patron-feed names: $5 donations per Leviathan kill credit)

Suddenly—a spear of solidified moonlight pierced the water. Alex twisted, but the projectile grazed his parasite core. Agony detonated in his nervous system.

She emerged from a coral canyon: silver-gold armor fused to athletic curves, glowing compound bow drawn. Platinum hair drifted like seagrass around eyes blazing with liquid nitrogen fury.

​​"You mutilated my sister."​​ Her voice vibrated through Alex's bones, amplified by ancient temple acoustics. ​​"Now I peel your parasite from your spine."​​

​User "DommyMommyFan" commented: "I paid $300 for elf twins! Make Artemis beg louder!"

Alex slammed his palm against the temple's central monolith. Funded tokens dissolved into glowing cracks.

» Leviathans redirect aggression → Artemis

» Temple energy refocuses on target neural degradation

The sea giants turned, maws unhinging toward their former mistress. Artemis snarled, firing arrows that flash-froze leviathan flesh. Each impact sent shockwaves through the water—and through Essala's residual link in Alex's mind.

Artemis suddenly convulsed, clutching her spine as phantom teeth bit her wings. A leviathan's barbed tail slammed her into temple stonework.

"She's tougher than that cyber-slut," Alex broadcasted as patrons watched Artemis gasp bloodied bubbles. "Let's soften her up."

He activated the true prize—⌈Sensory Sync Parasite Module⌋.

Artemis shrieked as her own hands snapped her prized bow against marble pillars.

​​[ "EdgeLordPrime" won voice hallucination ($1,200) ]​​

"Your sisters moaned as he consumed them..." a phantom voice hissed in her skull.

Artemis crashed to her knees, silver blood swirling around her like liquid mercury. Alex descended, parasite tendrils extending.

» Weakness: Contact overloads divine nerve clusters

"Your holy sigils," Alex mused, running a charged finger over her trembling stomach plating. "Shall we see how they react to... patron input?"

​​[ "HaremArchitect" activates $5,000 buy-in! ]​​

Artemis arched violently as invisible hands violated her neural pathways. Her scream echoed through Atlantis—part agony, part unwilling ecstasy—as the temple broadcasted every tremble to paying users.

Suddenly, Essala's voice cut through Alex's parasite link—​"Don't touch her core sigils! It's a—"​​

Too late.

Artemis's eyes snapped open. Not broken, but blazing with sacrificial triumph. Her abdominal sigils detonated in starburst patterns.

» Objective: Mutual annihilation via soul-core implosion

The entire temple groaned. Cracks swallowed leviathans whole. Alex's biomass plunged to 5%.

​​[ FINAL TRANSACTION: "ArtemisCollector" secures Option 3 ($25,000) ]​​

Essala's distant scream shredded reality as her consciousness was force-fed into Artemis's detonation sequence. The huntress's eyes rolled back—body going limp mid-explosion. Coral dust bloomed.

When it cleared, Artemis knelt brokenly. Silver blood trickled from ears and nose. Essala's fragmented psyche swirled in her irises like poisoned milk.
