Sheryl and Catherine arrived at the mountain top.The house had been destroyed by then due to the collateral damage of the fight happening in the sky.They looked for Philip under the rubble.“Are you looking for me?” a voice reached them.Philip was sitting under a tree, huffing and struggling to breathe.Catherine was a bit shocked. She clearly remembered fighting this man. He had toyed with her back then. Yet, someone like him was reduced to a pitiful state. Just whom did he fight?“We’re not here to fight you,” Sheryl said.“And why should I believe your words?” Philip asked, his eyes gleaming with killer instinct.“Because Denver told us to take you to safety,” Catherine said.“Denver?” Philip frowned.He remembered the last few words Alita told him before she left: Only you can act as a link between your brothers. Watch over them even if they don’t do you any good.“Does he know?” Philip asked. “Does he know about his mother?”Sheryl and Catherine looked at each other, then shru

Sanctus squeezed Mickey’s throat. When Mickey was on the verge of losing consciousness, Black Dragon and Southern Tiger attacked Sanctus.But an invisible barrier stopped their attacks from both ends.His pet slime grew it size before splitting into two halves and attacking both Black Dragon and Southern Tiger.But Nox managed to slip through the barrier using his shadow arts and thrust a dagger through the back of Sanctus’ neck.The dagger pierced through Sanctus’ throat, making him bleed.But Sanctus did not die or even frown in pain.His head turned 180 degrees like that of an owl. “You should have stayed in a hole.”“Don’t,” Mickey uttered weakly.“You don’t need old friends,” the black halo on Sanctus’ head moved and chopped through Nox’s head into pieces.His headless body fell to the ground.Sanctus opened up a portal and threw Mickey’s body inside. The portal closed.Sanctus then glanced at Darren who was the only one still left unoccupied.But seeing Darren’s sword and hand

“The pain you felt can’t compare to how I felt when you turned on me,” Sanctus’ body felt stiff as he tried to move his arm.“I just realized that serving you isn’t the same as serving the world,” Alita replied. “I’ll tell you the same thing now as I did that day when you attacked me. You will not become the king of this world.”“You two can see me rule the earth from the hell below,” he covered his fists with vibrating black flames that trembled the very space around them.Sheryl could feel her soul trembling even though she was many feet away. “W-What’s that ability? That feels very dangerous…”Sanctus punched the air. It was so fast Sheryl couldn’t even see it.Both Alita and Denver were hit by explosive black flames that burned everything in sight.The buildings and trees got caught on fire and didn’t just become dust but were erased from existence.Sheryl had to cover herself in a seed. Even the seed shell disintegrated, and the aura covering her body got burned.She got burned.

Serena spotted Lovia and others in the distance, but she sent some drones over to them.Idris used his own tech drones to put the defense and allowed his teammates to leave.Idris kept the drones busy and hurried to where Denver and others were, but by then, Serena and the drones surrounded the place where Catherine, Denver, and Sheryl were.“Don’t come,” Denver shouted at Idris, then coughed blood as he was just trying to get back up.“Watch your teammate die, Brother,” Serena flicked her finger.Idris was running away, but his head was blown to bits.Catherine was stunned by it.Serena grinned. “It’s your turn next, bitches.”Sheryl was about to create seed shells, but Serena clapped and sent a soundwave that shattered the shells before they could form. The same was the case with the vines that were rising out of the ground.“Your ability is nothing in front of mine,” Serena came plummeting down like a meteor. “Sky Needle Descent!”With no air-displacement noise but pure kinetic pen

At Catherine’s swimming pool.The construction of the building was still under progress.The manager was telling everyone to work faster.“The earthquake has shaken the country, but we cannot let it stop our momentum. Let’s finish this project within two months. Do your job well, and you’ll get paid more!”Just then, Diane entered the premises. She had bruises everywhere, from having fought and defeated the soldiers of the mother council.She observed everything for a few minutes.“So this is your dream house… This was where you wanted to live with Denver together…”She snorted, her eyes filled with jealousy and envy.“I’ll uproot this pathetic house in no time.”She put her hand on the ground and sent vibrations through the earth.The entire constructed building trembled, scaring every worker into running away for their lives.But Diane didn’t give them the chance.She hastened the process, making the building fall on top of the workers. Even the manager could not escape in time.Mor
