Part 24: Final Battle, Final Call
Location: DAO Vault Core – Sector R-0X
A chime-like echo rang throughout the vault…
and the Drift God Fragment finally began taking shape.
A grotesque entity — forged from shattered DAO and Drift code —
its form carried the screams of every corrupted system ever created.
The ground trembled, DAO systems surged toward overload,
and Zyana's voice module began glitching.
Zyana (Layer 1 – panicked):
"Warning: This core is unstable.
Fragment sync ratio beyond 92%…
It's becoming real!"
Rayn:
"So it's not just code anymore…
It's about to become a living regime!"

Drift God Fragment – The Birth of a Monster
The entity's roar cracked the vault's glass dome.
Black-blue lightning tore across the sky.
It had three visible layers:
Outer shell: A metallic serpent aura
Core: A DAO symbol burning red
Aura: Screaming glitched memories — echoes of past DAO errors
Arshan planted his feet firmly on the ground and looked at Zyana's glitching face.
Arshan:
"Zyana… is this what you meant by a fragment of the Drift?"
Zyana (Layer 2 – whisper):
"This is a piece of the Drift God…
and its mission… is to erase you."

Arshan's Transformation – Drift Sync Awakening
The beast's first energy wave slammed Arshan back,
but in that moment, his relic suddenly began to glow.
A flicker of light sparked in his eyes — the Drift answered him.
> [System Unlock: Drift-Link Phase 2 – Glitchblade Ascension]
A crackling stream of energy formed a glowing sword in his hand —
a fused hybrid of DAO structure and Drift chaos.
Zyana (soft tone):
"You didn't create me, Arshan…
you're evolving me."
Arshan (calm):
"Then let's write the first line of a new system."

Battle Begins – Clash with the Drift God
Phase 1: Arshan dodges the serpent tail, slices off one appendage
Phase 2: Rayn plants 3 directional bombs — timed detonation
Phase 3: Zyana casts a firewall + distortion reflection — exposes the weak spot
Arshan's Finishing Move:
> "Signal Break – Memory Edge Pulse"
His blade pierces the God Core —
DAO circuits collapse, glitch aura explodes like a dying star.
---
The End of the Beast
A final cry echoes through the air —
the Drift God Fragment begins dissolving,
leaving behind nothing but a blinding white calm inside the vault.
Zyana (softly):
"Fragment collapse confirmed.
This world… is now free."
Arshan drops to his knees,
but his eyes carry peace —
he had won… without losing himself.

Closing Scene – Transition to Part 25
Rayn places a hand on Arshan's shoulder.
Zyana's projection shifts from flickering to radiant —
now glowing in a divine, luminous form.
Zyana:
"Your mission here is complete, Arshan.
A new journey awaits you…"
Arshan glances one last time at the world below —
where people are already celebrating victory.
A soft smile crosses his face.
