“Our father allowed anyone to challenge him,” Philip said. “A king should not be afraid to fight anybody. If you are not willing to fight me on your own, then you’re not qualified to sit on the throne.”“Those rules and traditions don’t apply anymore, my dear little brother,” Lily retorted calmly. “Now, Hawk Park is mine. I set the rules, the rights and the wrongs. The queen does what she pleases. Who can question me? No one.”Philip’s expression slightly hardened. “This is why our father never let you step foot into his castle. He’s seen your incompetence from afar.”Lily frowned. A vein throbbed in her neck.One of the knights, Kael the Psychic Predator, stepped forward. “I’ve always wanted to fight you, Philip. You were called a genius,” he unsheathed his sword. “I want to cut that special skill with my blade.”He swung his blade once.But a thousand cuts zoomed onto Philip.Philip waved his hand and curved all the attacks and turned them into a sphere before thrusting it back to K

The fight between Serena and Sheryl’s clones destroyed the entire underground laboratory, forcing them to come onto the surface.However, both of them were surprised by what was happening outside.Lightning crawled through low black clouds while entire streets remained flooded ankle-deep beneath drifting aura mist. Broken towers leaned across the skyline like exhausted giants as rain whipped sideways.“It’s raining parallel to the ground?” Serena also was getting pushed by the rain, but she created a barrier around herself and resisted it. She looked in the direction of the royal tower where Lily and her group was fighting Philip.Nine masters surrounded him across collapsed buildings and shattered rooftops.Lily stood in front.Nightlaser rested against her shoulder, the black blade swallowing rain before droplets could touch it.Behind her was Darius the Mountain Fist, Cassian the Speed Executioner, Venzee the Muscle Master, Seraphine the Silver Killer, Southern Tiger, Black Dragon,

Serena thought her attack would work, but it only disoriented Philip enough to make him jump away and make some distance.Philip seemed visibly surprised.“Did her sound and vibrational technique somehow bypass the physical realm and reach his body?” Jamie wondered. “Come to think of it, the creator also brought heaven and earth into existence with just his word, didn’t he?” A corner of his mouth curled up. “I think we may have a chance at winning this.”At the same time, Sheryl’s clone tried to kill Lily, but Jamie stopped her.Another clone of hers attacked from another angle, but this time, Sheryl focused on striking Lily’s wrist.Lily’s right hand was cut, and the sword fell into Sheryl’s hand.Lily’s eyes turned red. Her severed hand was pulled back to her, and it healed rapidly. “G-R-E-E-N F-A-N-G~~~!!”Lily fumed in mad rage and clawed at Sheryl’s clone.A wall of light instantly appeared and not only blocked the attacks but reflected them, forcing Lily to take more damage.The

On one of the forbidden islands to the north of Russia.A few ships docked at the southern port and were loading organically grown food.Suddenly, entire shipping containers floated hundreds of feet above the harbor, frozen midair beneath distorted gravity fields.Cranes bent sideways toward the sky like iron flowers trying to escape the earth.The people also were pulled into the air as their will as two people fought very far from the southern shore.These two people were Catherine and Rufus.Catherine was wearing a thin blue nano combat suit, which Alita had given to Catherine as a gift to boost her defense.Translucent gravitas rings imbued with aura rotated slowly around her wrists.Blue lines glowed faintly beneath her skin as the Gravitas System hummed through her nervous system.Across from her stood Rufus. He had no weapons, not even armor. Just dark pants, wrapped fists, and the stillness of a man whose body had become a battlefield discipline all its own.Catherine had foug

A minute after Sheryl and Philip left, Nicole and others came over to the seed where Catherine was trapped.She kept banging the seed from within.Lovia and Sakura competed to cut the seed, but Nicole used her claws to break the seed open.“Where are they?” Catherine was looking around. “Did they leave without taking me?”“You’re clearly injured,” Nicole said coldly. “You’ll only be a liability if you had gone with them.”Catherine could only bite her lip.“Your power has grown tremendously in just a month,” Joelle said. “Thanks to your system, your strength grew by leaps and bounds. Just in terms of sheer power, you’re already stronger than me, so you should be satisfied with your progress.”“How can I be satisfied when I’ve nearly gotten killed?” Catherine frowned and looked at Nicole. “Take me to their fight. I want to see it.”“I have no way of taking you there. I can’t teleport like Ilene,” Nicole said.“Then take me to Ilene,” Catherine hissed. “I’ll have her take me to Denver.”
