Cyberknight: One Path

⁕ Point of Singularity

[Primo] - "Sniper... you fucking snake! "

Said Primo in an anguished voice.

Meanwhile, on top of the Eiffel Tower, Sniper slowly turned his hand another 90 degrees downward.

[Sniper] - "Echoing Verdict: Full-Rapture. "

Just as Primo breathed a sigh of relief, his car started to slowly slip toward the top of the building. Upon seeing how things outside his window started to fly toward the sky, Primo understood that he won't be able to escape what was coming next. During this time, inside the hotel, Aito quickly found himself colliding against the ceiling of his room. Before he could react, a chair fell on his legs and caused a heavy bone-cracking sound to fill the room.

[Aito] - "Stop... STOP IT! "

Screamed Aito with a pure expression of terror on his face.

As his car slipped closer to the top of the building, Primo pulled a picture of Mike out of his pocket and held it against his chest. Primo closed his eyes before his car, alongside other people and objects, fell into the sky. Gently, a random helium balloon inside the city pushed its head against the ground, which is now the sky. Sniper, on his end, stared at the city, unfazed by the amount of death and destruction he had caused. Although his helmet concealed his face, behind that visor reside the cold and emotionless eyes of a cruel man.

Gravity remained reversed for a total of 20 minutes. During this time, anything that tried to enter Paris quickly found itself falling toward the sky and into outer space. Although the gravity reversal lasted for 20 minutes, to the people still alive in the city, the process felt like hours. At exactly 20 minutes, Sniper abruptly retracted his arm before gravity suddenly shifted back to the ground.

Calmly, Sniper sat against the railing and used his ability to make himself a cup of coffee from the instruments left inside the coffee store. The city remained silent while Sniper gently turned his spoon inside his coffee.

Meanwhile, Aito peeked out of a small hole below the bedsheet to see that everything seemed to have gone back to normal. After struggling out of cover, Aito looked at the destroyed city in front of him. Suddenly, a helium balloon passed by his window. Thinking it was an object falling back from the sky, he ducked for cover, but he soon realized that nothing was falling down. As his eyes followed the balloon up the sky, a bone-chilling realization shot through his mind; Nothing was falling back down because they were already too far into space to fall back down. This realization caused Aito to become paler than a white sheet of paper before he passed out from shock.

During this time, Sniper finished the last sip of his coffee before he dropped his cup over the railing. He watched as the cup fell all the way down before a sudden phone call snapped him out of his trance.

[Judge] - "Amazing work, my lord! I can see everything from the news podcast. I doubt the bastards would have the courage to defy your authority again. "

[Sniper] - "Is the main objective secured? "

[Judge] - "Of course, my lord! We have sent the best assassin the Empire could offer you for this operation. "

[Sniper] - "You may proceed, my friend. I'll attend by the end of the party. "

Everywhere around the world, the news of the tragedy in Paris overtook the media. No one could explain the attack or know who was responsible for it, except for those Sniper intended to scare. The message was clear: The hubris of mortals shall never challenge the will of a God. In the end, two million people are declared dead or missing following the disaster. France was in a state of grief and outrage, yet it could not put the blame on anyone or anything.
