Chapitre 8 / 9 ( oui on as enfin une fin à la place d'un point d'interrogation ^^ )
L'homme invisible des affaires :

Chapitre 8 : Le pari ultime

Victor Alemand avançait lentement, ses pas résonnant sur le sol carrelé. Ses yeux, perçants et froids, fixaient l’homme invisible comme un prédateur jaugeant sa proie.

« Vous avez un don, je vous l’accorde, » lança-t-il, sa voix posée mais teintée d’arrogance. « Peu de gens auraient réussi à arriver jusqu’ici. Mais vous êtes arrivé trop tard. Nyx est déjà prête. »

L’homme invisible resta impassible, son regard oscillant entre Alemand et la sphère. Derrière la paroi de verre, Nyx pulsait de plus en plus rapidement, comme si elle répondait à un signal invisible.

« Vous ne comprenez pas ce que vous faites, Alemand, » répondit-il, sa voix calme mais chargée de défi. « Cette technologie n’est pas un outil. C’est une arme. Et vous allez détruire bien plus que vous ne contrôlez. »

Alemand esquissa un sourire, glacé et calculateur. « C’est précisément ce que vous ne comprenez pas. La vraie puissance ne réside pas dans la destruction, mais dans la dépendance. Quand le monde sera à genoux, implorant une énergie qu’il ne pourra obtenir qu’à travers Nyx, alors et seulement alors, le véritable pouvoir émergera. »

L’homme invisible sentit une vague de colère monter en lui, mais il la maîtrisa. Chaque seconde comptait. Il ne pouvait pas se permettre de perdre son calme.

« Vous croyez contrôler Nyx, » dit-il en avançant d’un pas. « Mais une fois activée, elle ne vous obéira pas. Elle obéira à son programme. Et ce programme dépasse vos ambitions. »

Alemand haussa un sourcil, intrigué. « Et que proposez-vous, alors ? La détruire ? Vous êtes bien naïf. »

23h58.

L’homme invisible savait que la confrontation verbale ne pouvait durer plus longtemps. Il devait agir, et vite. Derrière Alemand, il aperçut un terminal relié directement à la sphère. Une opportunité, mais hautement risquée.

« Je ne suis pas là pour négocier, » répondit-il.

D’un mouvement rapide, il lança un petit dispositif vers le terminal. L’appareil s’accrocha à la surface et émit un éclat bleu intense, déclenchant une surcharge dans le système. Les écrans vacillèrent, les lumières clignotèrent, et un grondement sourd emplit la salle.

Alemand recula, surpris, mais son expression se durcit presque immédiatement. « Vous jouez un jeu dangereux, » siffla-t-il, avant de sortir une arme dissimulée sous sa veste.

L’homme invisible se précipita vers le terminal, plongeant sous une rafale de balles. Les éclats de verre et de métal pleuvaient autour de lui, mais il ne s’arrêta pas. Arrivé à proximité, il connecta son propre dispositif au système principal de Nyx.

Lys : Je suis là. J’ai accès partiel, mais ça va prendre quelques secondes. Tiens bon.

« Faites vite, Lys, » murmura-t-il, les dents serrées.

Alemand, furieux, se rapprochait, son arme toujours levée. « Vous pensez pouvoir m’arrêter ? Nyx est déjà à moi. À minuit, elle pliera le monde à ma volonté. »

23h59.

Le dispositif de l’homme invisible émit un bip strident. Une petite ouverture apparut sur la sphère, exposant son noyau énergétique, un cœur incandescent entouré de mécanismes complexes.

« Lys, c’est maintenant ou jamais ! »

Lys : Je vois l’ouverture ! Donne-moi dix secondes...

Alemand, réalisant ce qui se passait, chargea en avant, prêt à tout pour empêcher l’homme invisible de déjouer ses plans. Mais à l’instant où il appuya sur la gâchette, l’homme invisible se jeta sur le côté, renversant une console pour créer une barrière temporaire.

00h00.

Un bruit sourd emplit la pièce, suivi d’un silence assourdissant. Nyx cessa de pulser, son éclat diminuant jusqu’à devenir un simple éclat métallique.

Lys : C’est fait ! Le noyau est désactivé. Mais je ne pourrai pas tenir longtemps. Sors de là, maintenant !

Alemand se tenait immobile, abasourdi, fixant la sphère éteinte. Sa colère éclata en un cri rageur. « Vous croyez que c’est fini ? Vous n’avez fait que retarder l’inévitable. Vous ne m’arrêterez pas. »

L’homme invisible se redressa, reprenant son souffle. « Peut-être pas, » répondit-il, calmement. « Mais aujourd’hui, vous avez échoué. »

Il lança une dernière grenade aveuglante pour couvrir sa fuite, laissant Alemand seul dans la salle, entouré de ses rêves brisés.

Dehors, sous le ciel nocturne, l’homme invisible sentit l’adrénaline redescendre. Le monde avait gagné un répit, mais il savait que la bataille était loin d’être terminée.

Chapter 8 / 9: (Yes, we finally have an ending instead of a question mark ^^)
The Invisible Businessman

Chapter 8: The Ultimate Gamble

Victor Alemand advanced slowly, his steps echoing on the tiled floor. His piercing, cold eyes fixed on the invisible man like a predator sizing up its prey.

"You have a talent, I'll admit that," he said, his voice steady but tinged with arrogance. "Few people could have made it this far. But you're too late. Nyx is already ready."

The invisible man remained impassive, his gaze shifting between Alemand and the sphere. Behind the glass panel, Nyx pulsed faster and faster, as if responding to some invisible signal.

"You don’t understand what you’re doing, Alemand," he replied, his voice calm but filled with defiance. "This technology isn’t a tool. It’s a weapon. And you’re going to destroy far more than you can control."

Alemand smirked, cold and calculating. "That’s precisely what you don’t understand. Real power isn’t in destruction; it’s in dependency. When the world is on its knees, begging for energy that it can only obtain through Nyx, then, and only then, will true power emerge."

The invisible man felt a wave of anger rise within him, but he suppressed it. Every second mattered. He couldn’t afford to lose his composure.

"You think you control Nyx," he said, stepping forward. "But once it’s activated, it won’t obey you. It will obey its programming. And that programming goes far beyond your ambitions."

Alemand raised an intrigued eyebrow. "And what do you propose, then? Destroying it? You’re so naive."

11:58 PM.

The invisible man knew the verbal sparring couldn’t go on any longer. He had to act, and fast. Behind Alemand, he spotted a terminal directly linked to the sphere. An opportunity, but a highly risky one.

"I’m not here to negotiate," he said.

With a swift motion, he threw a small device at the terminal. The gadget latched onto the surface and emitted a bright blue flash, causing the system to overload. Screens flickered, lights flashed, and a low rumble filled the room.

Alemand stepped back, startled, but his expression quickly hardened. "You’re playing a dangerous game," he hissed, pulling out a concealed weapon from under his jacket.

The invisible man dashed toward the terminal, diving to avoid a hail of bullets. Glass and metal shards rained around him, but he didn’t stop. Reaching the terminal, he connected his own device to Nyx’s main system.

Lys: "I’m here. I’ve got partial access, but I’ll need a few seconds. Hold on."

"Make it quick, Lys," he muttered through gritted teeth.

Alemand, furious, advanced with his weapon raised. "You think you can stop me? Nyx is already mine. At midnight, it will bend the world to my will."

11:59 PM.

The invisible man’s device beeped sharply. A small opening appeared on the sphere, exposing its energy core—a glowing heart surrounded by intricate mechanisms.

"Lys, it’s now or never!"

Lys: "I see the opening! Give me ten seconds..."

Realizing what was happening, Alemand charged forward, determined to stop the invisible man at any cost. As he pulled the trigger, the invisible man dived aside, toppling a console to create a temporary barrier.

12:00 AM.

A deep thrum filled the room, followed by an eerie silence. Nyx stopped pulsing, its glow fading to a dull metallic sheen.

Lys: "It’s done! The core is deactivated. But I can’t hold it for long. Get out, now!"

Alemand stood frozen, stunned, staring at the lifeless sphere. His anger erupted in a furious roar. "You think this is over? All you’ve done is delay the inevitable. You won’t stop me."

The invisible man straightened, catching his breath. "Maybe not," he replied calmly. "But today, you’ve failed."

He tossed a flash grenade to cover his escape, leaving Alemand alone in the room, surrounded by his shattered dreams.

Outside, under the night sky, the invisible man felt the adrenaline begin to subside. The world had earned a reprieve, but he knew the battle was far from over.
