blowing everything to ashes in the blink of an eye!BOOOOMMMM!"Damn it! My ears! Bastard, is this really the apocalypse or a metal concert in hell?!" Axel roared, his body thrown five meters before slamming into a pile of wrecked car junk. His vision blurred, blood-red liquid starting to drip from his temple, soaking the cracked asphalt."Ugh! Ugh! Damn it... Abby! Hey, strategic girl! Are you still breathing?!" Axel tried to shout, his voice hoarse, muffled by the incredibly thick dust from the ruins.[Warning: Body Integrity Decreased to 35%][Recommendation: Immediately Use Recovery Item Or You Will Experience Organ Failure Within 120 Seconds]"Your bald dad's recovery item! I just got here, let alone having medicine, I'm barely half alive! You're so noisy, you damn system!" Axel cursed at the blue screen flickering before his eyes. He tried to get up, but his legs trembled violently. Around him, black flames from the previous attack still licked at the remnants of the buildings.

...and triggering an air pressure explosion that sent Lord Bangkit’s front line flying like dry leaves in a storm!BOOOOMMMM!"Holy crap! Did you see that, Abby? A thousand coins flying at once—that’s pretty aesthetic, right?" Axel shouted loudly, his voice trying to compete with the boom of the explosion that had just leveled the line of steel shields in front of him."Aesthetic my ass! Axel, you just blew holes all over the asphalt in front of our bunker! Do you think that’s easy to fix?!" Abby’s voice shrieked from behind the bunker intercom, sounding somewhere between panic and awe."Chill, Abby! The asphalt is a problem for later! What matters is getting this trash out of the way first!" Axel grinned widely, his eyes fixed sharply on the thinning dust.Suddenly, from behind the clouds of black smoke, a giant shadow lunged forward.BRAAAKKK!The steel bunker door Axel had just finished building was kicked with monstrous strength, vibrating violently. Lord Bangkit, his muscles tens

—times pure gravity!"BOOOOMMMM!The silver energy blast slammed into the atmosphere, creating a shockwave that flattened buildings within a two-block radius. The System Guardian forces, who had been arrogantly soaring on their wings of light, suddenly dropped like termites sprayed with insecticide."Holy crap, what was that?! My tablet screen is glitching out so bad!" a woman exclaimed from behind the ruins of an insurance building down the street. Her fingers danced wildly across the flickering red holographic screen. "The destructive power... insane, a million terajoules? Is this guy really human or just a walking bug in this broken world?!"Abby, a former tech conglomerate heiress now on the run, held her breath. She adjusted her tactical glasses, which had almost slipped down. "Analyze data! Hurry up, you little punk!" she ordered the small AI in her tablet."Damn it, my system can't read the frequency! These numbers are off the charts!" she muttered again, her eyes wide as she s

It exploded, shattering into pieces like glass hit by a sledgehammer. Shards of energy splattered back toward the black-robed figure until he was flung far back, crashing through the laboratory's concrete wall!"DAMN IT! You're making me deaf, Axel! If you're gonna scream, give me a heads-up! Use a megaphone next time so everyone just drops dead!" Abby shouted while covering her ears tightly, her face still green from the lingering nausea of the hoverbike ride."Heh, did you see that? They called it an 'Anti-Crit' shield, but it crumbled after just a bit of my shouting," Axel laughed dismissively, slinging his iron pipe over his shoulder with a cocky swagger. "So, Abby? You still wanna puke, or do you want to see the inside of your old man's lab?""You're seriously insane. Are you even human, or are you some kind of system bug? That was a Galactic-level shield, you idiot!" Abby stepped down from the hoverbike, her legs still a bit shaky as they touched the cracked ground. "But serious

"...I'll even wipe their family tree from world history, Abby! I’m not playing around—anyone who dares knock on my door without permission, I’ll turn them into cosmic dust in an instant!""You're insane, Axel! Your arrogance is off the charts, seriously! That Guardian X-01 is still standing right in front of you, and you're busy giving a speech?" Abby screamed hysterically while clutching her tablet tightly behind a cracked concrete pillar. "Look at that! Its saw-arm is spinning again—the sound alone feels like my ears are gonna pop off!""Chill, Abby. A piece of junk like this just needs a little touch of my affection," Axel smirked coldly, his eyes staring sharply at the giant robot's red sensors that were beginning to glow brightly. "Hey, rustbucket! You hear me? Your new master is here. You wanna surrender with dignity, or do you want me to turn you into a cracker tin?""THREAT LEVEL: OMEGA. INITIATING TOTAL ANNIHILATION MODE."The robot roared mechanically, its entire steel body
