Victor stared at Gilder’s body on the ground, his mind struggling to accept what had just happened. Gilder had been one of the highest-ranking officials of the Iron Wolves, a man who had stood beside them through countless battles and had once openly questioned Kade’s decision to fight Sovereign. Yet when Victor was about to die, Gilder had stepped forward without hesitation and taken the attack meant for him.Victor’s entire body began to tremble. The grief building inside him quickly turned into rage.“GILDER!”Victor clenched his fists and screamed through the pain. He didn’t care that his ribs were broken or that Surge Mode had nearly destroyed his body. He didn’t care that Karl was far beyond anything he had ever fought. Gilder’s death had to be avenged.With a roar, Victor launched himself forward.“You bastard!”His fist shot toward Karl’s face, but Karl didn’t even bother to dodge. He simply swung his arm.BOOM!The collision produced a violent crack that echoed across the bat

Roman threw his head back and laughed, his laughter echoing throughout the enormous hall as he looked at Kade sitting across from him. There was no fear in his expression, only amusement, as though a child had just walked into his mansion and threatened to kill him. “What a naive child,” Roman said with a smile. “But tell me something, Kade. Why did you leave your men on the battlefield when you already knew they were going to face my army?” Kade remained silent.Roman continued, his fingers slowly moving through Khan’s mane. “You know the difference in our numbers. You know my soldiers are better equipped, and you know your men have already been fighting for hours. Yet you abandoned them and came here alone.” His smile widened. “You came straight to your own grave.”Kade’s expression didn’t change. “Don’t underestimate the Iron Wolves.”Roman raised an eyebrow. “They’ll overcome your army.”“And if they don’t?” Kade’s blue eyes became colder. “I prepared a Plan B.”Roman’s smile fade

“Seems you’re still clueless about everything,” Roman said, his expression becoming colder. “So let’s do this. If you want to know the truth, then prove that you’re strong enough to hear it. Defeat me, and I’ll tell you everything.”For several seconds, Kade remained completely still. Then his blue eyes began to glow white, and an overwhelming aura erupted from his body. The pressure was so intense that if a weaker cultivators were in the mansion they would have been unable to remain conscious under it. Kade’s anger had reached a level where even his Aether seemed to respond to his emotions, violently surging around his body as cracks spread beneath his feet.“In that case,” Kade said, lowering his body slightly, “pray I don’t kill you before you get the chance to speak.”BOOM!Kade disappeared.He reappeared directly in front of Roman, his fist already buried in a storm of white Aether. Roman raised one hand and released the same strange crimson force that had stopped Kade’s previous

Meanwhile, back at Skull Island, the Iron Wolves had reached their absolute limit. Their formation had collapsed, their weapons were running low, and the surviving warriors could barely remain on their feet. To make matters worse, another thousand Sovereign soldiers had just arrived on the battlefield, reinforcing an army that already outnumbered the Iron Wolves several times over. At this point, the possibility of survival had disappeared.From the command deck of one of the Sovereign warships, Cassian Null watched the destruction below with a satisfied smile. The battlefield was exactly what he had envisioned when he designed the campaign. Every strategy the Iron Wolves had attempted had eventually been crushed by Sovereign’s overwhelming numbers and superior resources.“Hahaha!” Cassian laughed as he watched another group of Iron Wolves fall beneath the Sovereign assault. “Once again, the Sovereign Empire emerges victorious.” He spread his arms slightly, his confidence bordering on

Cassian’s expression became serious. Sovereign already had overwhelming numbers. If another army had arrived to support the Iron Wolves, the situation could change completely. The first helicopter flew over the battlefield and remained high in the air. Its side door suddenly opened, revealing a figure standing at the edge. For a moment, no one could make out who it was. Then the figure jumped. “What the hell?” The woman fell from the sky without a parachute, dropping hundreds of feet toward the battlefield. Soldiers from both sides stared upward in disbelief as she descended at terrifying speed. BOOM! She crashed into the ground. A massive cloud of dust erupted around the impact point, forcing the nearby soldiers to shield their faces. Karl lowered his axe slightly and stared into the dust with a frown. Who the hell would jump from that height? The dust slowly settled. A woman stood in the center of the crater as if she had simply stepped onto the battlefield. Her long hair
