This was a protracted defense battle, and every single person bore an immense responsibility.The fighter jets carried the fate of all humanity, flying toward Mount Regent with the Godkey. En route, they encountered countless attacks from monstrous birds, but the squadron pressed on, determined to reach Mount Regent.***Mount Regent had been a battlefield for three whole days. Core soldiers like Remy, Sylvia, Helen, Ivy, and Strider were directing the battlefield, while over a million soldiers fought with discipline and organization. Thankfully, their communication remained unbroken as they waited for the Godkey."Remy, why hasn't Jerome shown up yet? He's got a few hundred thousand men with him. I wonder if they're all right?" Sylvia spoke to Remy through her communicator while fighting monsters. Jerome was the only one who had not joined the fight, his whereabouts unknown. No one knew where Jerome—better known as War Legate Dominus—was since he rarely appeared over the past ei

Mount Regent began to shake violently as the interior filled with a golden light. Nova's eyes snapped open as she shouted, "Rise!"Whirr!The Timewinder roared to life, lifting off the ground as it was engulfed in golden light. Then, with a thunderous explosion, half of Mount Regent's peak was blown away.Whirr! The massive clock, together with Nova, burst out of the palace and soared into the distant skies. Everyone looked up when they saw the golden Timewinder, whose hands were spinning continuously. With each movement, time seemed to be twisted in its entirety.Nova stood before the Timewinder, arms spread wide, her light intertwining with the Timewinder’s. With a shout, it emitted boundless golden light which shot upward and swirled rapidly into the sky like a vortex. The golden light opened a tunnel through time and space, tugging at everything with immense gravity."Get lost!" Nova yelled.Boom, boom, boom!The vortex erupted, and the light shining from the vortex cove

"Shadowblade? The Sword Lieges?" Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing those names.Nicholas spoke up, "You must be an immortal from another world. Logically, we should be helping each other since we're of the same kind."Lacey added, "If my guess is correct, you're the weakest among those in your world and got pushed around, correct? That's why you possess all this pent-up rage and have come here to vent on us."Their remarks caused Shadowblade’s expression to twist with anger.Lacey chuckled. "Well look at that. Looks like I struck a chord. You're the ruler, eh? I think you're just a coward who dares not even moan when someone slaps you in the face!”"You’ll die for that!" Shadowblade was angered by Lacey's provocations. He roared and threw a flurry of punches, shooting bursts of air as sharp as blades toward her. Nicholas launched out with his sword to shield Lacey.Clang! Clang! Clang!The air blades conjured by Shadowblade hit Nicholas' light, and Nicholas and Lacey w

Nova crashed into the mountain's summit, sending several boulders flying. She convulsed as she became drenched in blood. Her shockingly severe wounds increased in numbers. Still, Sylvia and Remy did not pay attention to her injuries. The moment Nova was struck by Shadowblade and sent flying, Sylvia and Remy flanked him from the side. Their swords flashed with a cold brilliance as they attempted to close in on him. Simultaneously, Lacey, Nicholas, Helen, and Strider drew their swords to attack. Yet, they had no solid strategy against him."You meddlesome and weak humans. I could kill you with just a third of my powers." Shadowblade—the one known as the Destroyer and the Creator—-dismissed the attacks of the group with disdain. With a roar, a dark aura suddenly surged around him. The aura erupted, instantly sending Remy and the others who charged at him flying backward and falling to the ground.They coughed up blood, the severe trauma to their bodies leaving them incapable of de

Nova was slammed against a few rocks, and blood gushed out from her gruesome wounds. Nobody knew whether Helen was still alive after tumbling off the cliff, while Remy's ribs were broken and he sported a crushed leg. Strider and Nicholas struggled to stand, their battered bodies barely holding up. Lacey and Sylvia gripped each other’s hands as they retreated."Is that all you can do?" Shadowblade mocked as he released his foot from Remy's thigh.Strider and Nicholas wanted to continue fighting, but they were nearing their limits and could barely stand.A crisis was underway, and everyone in Navia's cities was dazed as they watched everything through their screens. The mightiest people in the whole world seemed to have fallen before Shadowblade's powers. As Shadowblade raised his sword again, it felt like he could annihilate the whole world with just one more strike."Is it really over for us?" The people were despaired, believing the end was upon them. They saw how Nova continued
