Outcast Omega Pampered by the Alpha General novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 The Missing Piece

Julian had not merely opened a path.

Finished

He had carved one straight through the storm, clearing the way so Serena and Anya could reach the deepest part of Harper’s psychic sea as fast as possible.

Then he frowned.

“Too slow. Harper and I share a full mark, and our psychic power has blended more than once. Mine will work best on her. I will handle it.”

Ari had just begun summoning his white jasmine.

Julian stopped him with one look.

“Your emotions are unstable. You are not reliable right now. Step aside.”

Ari: “…”

His lips pressed into a thin line.

Those long, narrow eyes were red, but in the end, he still moved back obediently.

Lily Snow and Jelena Mendes exchanged a quick glance.

Without wasting words, one summoned snow willow and the other summoned sunflower, joining Serena and Anya to support the treatment after Julian had bluntly called them slow.

Harper was 3S.

Her rank stood far above theirs.

Without Julian or Ari taking the lead, even four top healers pouring in everything they had needed nearly half an hour to force the raging waves in her psychic sea down.

But calming the storm did not mean saving her.

Because once the waves settled, everyone finally saw the truth.

Harper’s psychic sea core had already shattered into powder.

Worse, while the healers repaired the surrounding psychic sea at high speed, that powder scattered like dry sand in the wind.

The sky inside her psychic sea was black and heavy.

The sea beneath it was darker still.

The towering waves were gone.

All that remained was wreckage, silence, and a dead stillness without the faintest hint of life.

Quinn Zeller gave the cruelest conclusion.

Harper was a vegetative patient now.

Not only physically.-..

Psychically too.

Finished

Her psychic sea had been preserved, but the core was gone. Without that core, the sea could no longer function on its own.

It was stagnant water.

An empty shell.

Her body still lived.

But she would never wake.

A vegetative patient might still retain some awareness.

But if even the psychic sea core had vanished…

how was that different from brain death?

The command room went red-eyed and quiet.

Tears slid down silently.

No one even dared sob too loudly, as if the smallest sound might disturb Harper inside the medical pod.

She was a commander who had given everything for humanity.

She deserved every bit of respect in that room.

Only Julian remained unmoved on the surface.

He controlled his psychic tendrils and searched Harper’s psychic sea over and over, obviously refusing to accept that his first ghost might not be Orion.

So everyone else cried.

Julian thought.

The scene was strange.

Somehow, it was also harmonious.

Orion stayed beside him the entire time.

He did not urge him.

Did not pressure him.

Chapter 360 The Missing Piece

Did not expect a miracle from him.

His gaze held only calm tenderness and gratitude,

Whether Julian chose to try was one thing.

Whether it worked was another.

Orion would always be grateful for Julian’s clumsy panic, for his strange robot logic, for the way he scrambled the moment Orion cried.

Outside, Orion had to stand before everyone and hold up the collapsing sky.

But in front of Julian, he could be weak.

So when Harper chose to die with the Calamity Ant Queen, Ari had opened his jasmine without hesitation.

He had tried to merge with her psychic sea.

Tried to fight with her until the end.

But Harper, who usually listened to him no matter how loudly she complained, had been colder than ever in that moment.

Cold almost to cruelty.

The instant the Calamity Ant Queen exploded, she kicked him out of her psychic sea.

Decisive.

Ruthless.

Leaving him no room to follow.

Yet Ari did not regret reaching for her.

Not at all.

At this moment, he was grateful.

So grateful his heart ached.

Endlessly grateful.

I give you jasmine. May you never leave.

I receive your jasmine. This life will never change.

Perhaps fate truly had its own will.

29 Finished

When the white jasmine bloomed again, a familiar dark-violet shard hovered quietly above its delicate flower core.

Small.

Clear as crystal.

It was not powder.

It was hope.

The shard was tiny, and its glow was faint.

Just like its dying owner, Harper Sloane, it looked as if it could vanish from the world at any moment.
