2025-04-01 06:31:50I will go ahead, my Lord," Sir Larot said to Zeus. The latter gave him a sign of approval, saying, "Go ahead." With an almost imperceptible movement, Larot vanished as if he were a ghost. Murmurs quickly filled the air: "Arrogant, vain, pompous," some said. However, one person remained silent. In his mind, Aragon Barns reflected: "Well, well, you have found something challenging. I sensed it too." Aragon, his only friend, mentor, and confidant, was the only one who knew who hid behind that imposing armor.
In a matter of seconds, Larot arrived at the battlefield. His obsidian-black armor gleamed under the dim light, and his great sword rested majestically on his back. Before him, an immense creature roared with ferocity. Without hesitation, Larot leaped as he ran, propelling himself toward the monster with a devastating kick that struck its face directly. The beast staggered backward.
The spectators watched in awe as the mysterious warrior burst onto the scene. He lande

“Sir, we’ve secured the package,” reported the tall, burly figure in a firm voice.“Good. Head to these coordinates, where the activator is located,” responded an authoritative voice from the other end of the line.Without another word, both figures took off with powerful rockets installed in their armor, slicing through the skies like luminous streaks that left a vibrating echo in their wake.In another location, General Bronjort was speaking with Marie through a secure line:“Is there no one who can pursue them?”Marie, visibly uncomfortable, replied in an apologetic tone:“I’m sorry, sir. I’ll connect you with Chief Drake immediately.”Drake answered the call, but before he could speak, Bronjort interrupted him with barely contained fury:“This is unacceptable! You’re supposed to train your team so they can handle threats like this! Why aren’t they doing their job?”Drake tried to calm him, though his voice betrayed some tension:“All we know is that those individuals aren’t from t

All the teenagers arrived at the scene after hearing the commotion. But they weren’t alone: Dustin, Ezekiel, Adrian, and Rafael were also present, along with Lidia and Rino, asking what had happened.“And what about those two?” Dustin asked, pointing at the injured twins. Without waiting for a response, he turned to Maria. “Heal them, please.”Maria used her healing abilities, and soon after, the twins woke up, surprised to see Aiden and his friends surrounding them. However, their reaction was anything but friendly.“We’re not telling you anything. Besides, you deserved what happened to you,” the twins said, glaring at Aiden with disdain.Lidia frowned, confused.“What do you mean by that? What happened to you, Aiden?”Aiden, trying to stay calm, responded:“We’ll explain later. For now, we’re not here about that. We’re here to ask why they took Leonard.”The twins exchanged confused glances before responding, looking at Lidia as they spoke:“We don’t know. They just came saying, ‘We

“You’ve been found. You’re coming with us,” the two armored figures declared in a firm and authoritative voice as they stepped forward with calculated, resonant strides. Their imposing presence seemed to fill the space, radiating a mix of power and menace that left no room for argument.Leonard glared at them defiantly, crossing his arms with an arrogant smirk.“I’m not going anywhere, especially not with useless strangers who hide their faces,” he replied coldly, his tone dripping with disdain as he locked eyes with the armored figures.Without giving them time to respond, Leonard turned his head toward his friends, the twins, who were already prepared to act.“Come on, let’s kick these tin-can-wearing losers’ butts,” he said with a mocking half-smile, visibly confident in his superiority.Meanwhile, Maria and Billy were searching for the little boy with the teddy bear when suddenly someone rushed past them at high speed. It was the boy, clearly nervous. Upon seeing the two teenagers

“Any news about the subjects we’re dealing with?” Nick asked through his communicator, addressing Adrian with urgency in his tone.Adrian responded after a brief pause:“No, but it seems they’re using some kind of otherworldly technology. The armor they wear… From the images you sent me, it reminds me a lot of Luxteno metal.”Nick frowned, processing the information.“We’ll keep working and let you know,” Adrian continued seriously. “They could be anywhere; there’s no trace of any of them. I’ll send out an alert to all agents, but I’ll warn them not to confront them alone. Those suits are impenetrable.”Both ended communication. Nick stood pensively, gazing at the horizon as he silently reflected:“This is exactly what I feared… They’ve come from another planet searching for something. I hope my son is alright… I regret not being there with him.”Aiden had run off when everyone pointed at him as if he were the villain of the story. Not only that, but he hadn’t returned to his dormitor

At break time, some of the orphans who had previously been under Aiden’s control during the battle against Zeus recognized him and greeted him enthusiastically. However, his responses were curt and distant, still overwhelmed by everything he had endured. Maria and Billy, noticing his emotional state, kindly intervened, explaining to those greeting him that he wasn’t feeling well.Meanwhile, the twins began spreading malicious rumors about Aiden. They claimed he had become arrogant after appearing on international television and being hailed as a "savior," now believing himself superior to everyone else. According to them, Aiden avoided "the riffraff" because he thought he was better than everyone. Some students fell for their lies, others doubted, but very few questioned these claims.As if that weren’t enough, the twins added another falsehood: they insisted that Aiden couldn’t use his powers at will and was as weak as those without special abilities—like certain teachers from lesser

Just as Aiden and Podbe were about to open the door, someone behind them spoke:“I’ve also been assigned to stay with you guys,” Riota said, accompanied by Akira and Diego, who carried their belongings with expressions that were both tired and curious.When they opened the door, all three were startled. From the darkness of the room, a calm but unsettling voice echoed:“Ah! It’s you… What are you doing here?” the voice said, freezing everyone in fear.Diego, visibly trembling, thought he had seen nightmares come to life among the shadows. However, when someone turned on the light, they discovered it was none other than Cain, sitting calmly on his bed while playing with threads of darkness that floated around him like invisible serpents.“Hey! Don’t do that. You almost gave Diego a heart attack!” Akira exclaimed, crossing his arms with a mix of frustration and relief. His tone was stern, but there was a hint of concern in his voice as he looked at Diego, who still seemed paralyzed with
