Paltio firmly addressed the snakes: "Who's next?"Both Serugulas stared at him with blood-red eyes, glowing with murderous fury. Ready to attack, the snakes lunged toward him, opening their enormous mouths filled with sharp fangs. However, Paltio didn’t move an inch. He simply extended his hands forward, fingers pointed at them as if prepared to meet their charge head-on."Move, you fool!" Pax shouted, still recovering from the fall as he watched the snakes dangerously close in.But just as the two creatures passed by Paltio's sides, they were cleanly sliced, as if a knife had cut through hot butter. The halves of the Serugulas collapsed to the ground, perishing instantly."I can't believe that..." Pax muttered, incredulous at what he had just witnessed. The boy had barely moved his hands, and with a simple gesture, he had eliminated the snakes. "Those gloves must be the power behind all this," Pax thought, observing the green gloves still glowing intensely on Paltio's hands.Paltio,

"Something bad is happening here... Something told me so, but I don't know what it could be," Pax murmured to himself as he moved swiftly through the building. His analytical mind didn’t need further proof: he had picked up on the signs from the beginning. "No time to think—it's time to act. I must save that foolish prince from certain death. If I save him, he'll owe me one... Although surely he'll collect to save me from the Curchacos. Anyway, there’s no other choice—all for Lord Tejod."Pax began to move strategically through the building, checking room by room. However, everything seemed empty, with no trace of life or activity, until he entered a dark room where he found bones scattered across the floor. At first glance, they bore the shape of Lula, the elderly owner of the place."Those thieving snakes infiltrated this place and made it their nest," Pax deduced, observing the remains coldly. "I must hurry... But I already know what to do."He quickly returned to his room, retriev

"Urugas!" the name echoed throughout the place, spoken by Paltio's two friends who had mentioned the mysterious being."Who is Urugas?" Alita and Ron asked in unison, glancing at each other with curiosity.Pax responded with his usual seriousness: "Urugas is our god, our god of darkness.""That's right," Paltio added, crossing his arms with a mix of irritation and frustration. "The same one who sent all those shadow armies to attack the realms."Alita turned to Jorl, the Pinkerton merchant, and asked: "Do you know him, Mr. Jorl?"Jorl shook his head, adjusting the feather earrings in his ears. "Know Urugas? What kind of question is that, girl? No one sees him. This permit was granted by one of his many secretaries. We don't even know exactly who it was.""I see..." Alita murmured, processing the information.Paltio then interjected with a more direct question: "So, do you know where this Urugas lives?"The merchant shook his head again, extending his hands as if to push the question a

The queen let out a cry of anguish that echoed through the cave, though even she couldn't comprehend what was happening. An intense burning consumed her, an agony beyond explanation. In desperation, she began slamming herself against the cave walls, seeking relief from the torment.Finally opening her eyes, she saw something that ignited her fury: there on the ground lay the lower half of her body, where her stinger once resided. It was covered in a luminous green liquid, and from the rubble emerged a small figure coated in the same viscous fluid."You wretched brat!" the queen roared, her voice laced with hatred and disgust. "I thought you were dead! How dare you destroy my precious Curchacos nursery?"Paltio grimaced in revulsion as he attempted to wipe the green substance from his face and body. "Disgusting! This must be her blood... And now I'm covered in this stuff everywhere," he spat, trying to rid his mouth of the bitter taste.Golden observed the scene through his mental conne

Golden barked at Paltio, urgency lacing his voice."Paltio, move!" But the boy stood frozen, paralyzed by fear as he watched the queen's whip-like antenna lash toward him like a streak of dark lightning.Golden didn’t hesitate for a second. With a precise flick of his telekinesis, he yanked Paltio out of harm’s way just as the whip sliced through the air where he had been standing moments before. The boy hit the ground with a dull thud, shaking off his daze."Hey, kid!" Golden snapped, his tone sharp but tinged with concern. "Are you already cowering? Because if you are, remember your friends are counting on you... Unless, of course, you’ve already wet yourself from fright.""No! Of course not!" Paltio shot back, his cheeks flushing red with embarrassment and irritation. He paused, lowering his voice as he tried to explain. "It was just… I felt something strange when I saw that whip. Like some kind of connection—I don’t know..."Golden narrowed his eyes, studying him for a moment befo

"Those disgusting things are called Curchacos," Pax thought to himself."What are the Curchacos?" a voice asked."Ah, it’s you, Golden," Pax said."Well, it seems placing a psychic link solely with you was a good idea after all," Golden remarked."What exactly are these creatures we’re facing, Pax?""Well, the Curchacos are insect-like creatures, similar to cockroaches. They secrete a viscous substance that immobilizes their targets to capture prey destined to feed their queen. They operate like a hive, have six legs, red eyes full of fury, and antennae they use to communicate. Plus, they’re attracted to shiny objects. They’re small but incredibly strong.""That’s disgusting," Golden commented, wrinkling his nose. "It sounds like an abomination of nature, like the previous monsters.""It is," Pax replied gravely. "They were failed creations of my boss, Tejod.""And how do we defeat them?" Golden asked."The only way to stop them is by killing the queen. Without a queen, there are no C

Aiden felt as though his mind was a whirlwind of emotions after the bombshell Milo had dropped on him. It hit him like a bucket of ice-cold water, sharp and piercing, cutting through every layer of certainty he had ever held. His breathing grew erratic, and words spilled out in torrents from the depths of his being."He... He’s my father," Aiden murmured, his voice trembling, more to himself than to the others. The words echoed through the mental link he shared with Podbe and Reia. "All this time... I’ve been speaking with my father’s voice."Podbe, who carried that familiar voice within him, remained silent for a moment before responding. "Well, I didn’t know that either," he admitted, his tone cautious.Reia quickly interjected, her voice filled with sincerity. "Aiden, I swear I had no idea. When I updated the system, that voice just appeared. I had no clue it belonged to your father.""It doesn’t matter," Aiden shot back bitterly. "If he really is my father, why didn’t he ever look

"Well, well, well, he is…""The cherry on top," Milo said, his tone laced with mockery and triumph, as if savoring each word before releasing it into the air. "None other than your grandson... The one you have to hand over to the general. Of course, your son never knew. Funny how life plays out, wouldn’t you agree, Drakito?"The silence that followed was deafening, like a slab of stone falling upon everyone present. Drake stood motionless, his eyes fixed on Milo but not truly seeing him. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, desperately trying to connect the fragments of information he had received. But the magnitude of the revelation was too immense, as if he had choked on something he couldn’t swallow or expel.His breathing grew shallow and uneven, almost imperceptible, as he struggled to process what he had just heard. It was as though Milo’s words were poison slowly spreading through his body, paralyzing every fiber of his being. His hands trembled slightly, and his jaw clenched

"It’s that guy!" Elena exclaimed furiously, her eyes burning like embers. "The one who deceived me and caused my father’s death! You, damn Zeus, you’ll pay!"Without wasting a second, she hurled a fireball at him, but it dissipated in the air before reaching him, as if it had collided with an invisible barrier.Aiden, alongside Podbe, stepped forward with a firm stride, his face contorted with rage."You’ll see, Zeus!" Aiden growled, while Podbe bared his fangs, ready to attack.But Eduard intervened, placing a hand on Aiden’s shoulder."Patience, Aiden," he said calmly, though his voice carried a deep sadness. "We’re not here just because of that man. I’ve suffered greatly because of him... But now it’s time to end this once and for all."Inside Podbe’s mind, Reia was also furious. Her energy pulsed intensely, fueled by anger and the desire for revenge."Wait!" Adia interrupted, raising her staff with determination. "I want a piece of this too!""Let’s kick his ass!" the younger ones

Geros was livid, his body trembling with rage as he channeled all his dark energy into the creation of a massive sphere hovering above his hands. Its size was staggering, and its surface appeared to be made of an ethereal material that shimmered with silver and black flashes. Geros’s gaze hardened further as he muttered with disdain:"Take the fifth element, 'ether,' insolent girl," he said, pronouncing the words as if they were a curse before shouting, "CYBERSPACE!"Adia watched him with a sardonic smile, crossing her arms."The fifth element? That doesn’t exist… You’ve officially lost it," she retorted, mocking him with a light yet confident tone.Geros let out a low, cold laugh, like the sound of rusted metal creaking."It doesn’t exist for humans of this era, but it was once believed in. And for us who come from space, it is very real."With a sharp motion, he hurled the sphere toward Adia. It began spinning rapidly in the air, and within it, an infinite cosmos became visible, as

Adia danced amidst the flashes of fire and dark energy, her hands weaving spells with the precision of an artisan crafting their masterpiece. The golden rays from her staff sliced through the air like invisible blades as she cast Fire Ray and Fury Daggers, blocking every attack that Geros hurled at her. The battlefield trembled under the weight of their clash, illuminated by bursts of light and pulsating shadows. For his part, Geros moved with serpentine elegance, his dark tentacles unfurling like storm clouds to intercept and return each strike with calculated ferocity."Not bad, girl," Geros said, his voice dripping with sarcasm as bitter as honey. "But you still have a long way to go."With a fluid motion, his tentacles shot toward her, this time crackling with electric sparks that sizzled like contained thunder. Adia reacted instantly, propelling herself to the side with gusts of wind that escaped from beneath her feet like invisible wings. But just as she thought she had evaded t

The seconds dragged on like heavy, thick hours, laden with tension and anticipation. The screens flickered with graphics that seemed to hold the fate of them all. Finally, a subtle change began to manifest: the dark virus invading Larot’s brain—a writhing, shadowy mantle akin to living smoke—started to slowly recede, giving way to a faint but healthy glow that shimmered in the projected images.“It’s working!” Rafael exclaimed, his voice trembling with a mix of relief and triumph. The smile on his face was so genuine it seemed to light up the entire room. “We did it, sir!”“We did it!” Adrian replied, allowing himself to relax his shoulders for the first time in what felt like an eternity. His hands trembled slightly, not just from exhaustion but also from the pent-up emotion.Adrian glanced at Rafael and let out a brief but warm laugh. “You mean we did it, kid.”“They did it!” Megumi shouted from her position, hurling one last rock with precision at a robot attempting to flank them.
