Brady has learned his father isn't the failure he believed, and he's not happy about it. On top of that, the mob has shown up to collect the percentage of the Omega Book that they believe they're owed, and they have no qualms about killing Brady to get it. Brady is thereby forced to unlock more secrets of the book to protect himself and the world from knowledge that nobody should have in this day and age.

The mob has inventions from the Omega Book and Cless now has pages of it. Inventions and pages that nobody in this day and age should have. Everything Alexander feared has come true, and he must resort to desperate measures, even if it means having his own son Brady use the most advanced machine created by the book. A machine that could kill him. But the book must be destroyed and by any means necessary!
