2026-04-06 13:24:00Vara held her right hand steady, just a centimeter above the transparent wire. Her breath hitched. A single drop of sweat rolled down her temple, past a dry bloodstain on her cheek, and fell, dampening the pile of rotting leaves beneath her boot.
"One wrong step, and we're compost," Vara whispered without looking back. The assassin slowly slid the tip of her dagger under the wire, bracing against its mechanical tension, then cut it with a single, precise pull.

Chapter 178: The Cosmic Stock Dividend
The silver ash from the remains of the Cosmic Hound still floated on the night wind that blew through the destroyed roof of City Hall. The smell of burnt metal and ozone had not completely disappeared from the air.In the middle of the messy room, Elian stood tall. The golden rings in his irises spun slowly, radiating a dominance that made the last of the tension in the room settle. He looked intently at his still-panting core team, then turned to Freya, who was still tied helplessly to her red plastic chair."Gus. Vara. Colonel," Elian called out, his voice calm yet carrying an absolute firmness like a director about to start an annual evaluation meeting. "Line up in front of me now. Bring all the Revenants forward."Vara wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, sheathing her Cosmo Rapier. The assassin stepped forward without protest. Beside her, Agus walked with a weary gait, still clutching his sev
Chapter 177: The Giant's Logic & The Street Tactic
"Gus, you trust me, right?"Vara's question cut through the roar of the vacuum wind that was being greedily sucked in by the Cosmic Hound's jaws.Agus, who was still panting, clutching his red, blistered right hand, didn't hesitate for a second. The black-armored giant nodded firmly. "I always trust you, Vara! You're the one who taught me how to tie my shoelaces!""Good," Vara grinned foolishly, twirling her Cosmo Rapier in her hand until it emitted a deep blue flash. "Gus! The fire needs to breathe!"Agus's simple brain processed that sentence in the most organic way. The giant's eyes widened, as if he had just found the answer to a kindergarten riddle."Oh! Like Dito's birthday candles yesterday, right, Vara?!" Agus exclaimed with an enthusiastic, beaming face, ignoring the fact that the god-dimension's hunting dog in front of them was preparing to level the building. "If you b
Chapter 176: The Ring One Performance Review
The thick concrete ceiling above the Cabinet Meeting Room was shattered to pieces like a stepped-on cracker.Chunks of cement the size of refrigerators fell onto the teakwood table in the middle of the room, splitting it in two with a deafening crack. A thick cloud of asbestos and cement dust billowed up, swallowing the last of the light from the emergency lamps and choking the lungs of anyone who breathed it in."COUGH! Get down! Everyone, get down!" roared Colonel Badra, grabbing the collar of a nearby soldier's uniform.In the dark corner of the room, Budi, Siti, and Tono were already huddled together under the remains of a table. The three lab assistants were crying silently, their bodies shaking violently. Tono covered his head with a medical bag, while Siti kept muttering prayers with pale lips.In the small crater that had just been created on the marble floor, the cloud of dust was slowly swept away by an incredibly extreme heat.The creatu
Chapter 175: The Scapegoat & The Cosmic Stock Market
The Cabinet Meeting Room of City Hall seemed to freeze. Freya's last statement hung in the stuffy air, hitting everyone's sanity with a fact that was too massive to digest.Vara was the first to break the silence. The assassin shifted her standing position, sheathing her Cosmo Rapier with a sharp click, then let out a long whistle. A sociopathic, arrogant smile slowly crept across her lips."There you have it, listen carefully, pale-face," Vara pointed at Elian with her thumb, smirking proudly at the Divine Knight who was still tied to the plastic chair. "My boss is OP (Overpowered). Never mind a local monster, he put your dimension's queen in a coma from a distance. Your gods should be coming down here to thank him with a gift basket, not sending you to attack our base."However, instead of being provoked by Vara's arrogance, Freya's expression just turned paler. The beautiful face that usually radiated a heavenly majes
Chapter 174: Cosmic Corruption & The Female Debt Collector
The cigarette tucked between Elian's lips almost fell onto the teakwood table. The smoke from his cigarette drifted away, blown by his held breath.In the Cabinet Meeting Room, illuminated only by a battery-powered emergency lamp, a heavy silence fell. The golden rings in Elian's irises stopped spinning for a moment, signaling a synchronization pause in his brain as it was forced to process the absurd accusation."I'm the cause?" Elian frowned deeply. His sociopathic smirk faded, replaced by the pure confusion of a civilian. He took the cigarette from his lips. "I swear, lady. I've never even been abroad, let alone to another planet. My ID still says I'm a resident of South Jakarta. How the hell did I destroy your kingdom?"In the dim corner of the room, Budi swallowed hard. The former pharmacy student stood trembling, holding an empty bucket like a shield. Beside him, Siti was huddled behind Dr. Arini's dirty lab coat,
Chapter 173: The Empress Themis's Envoy
The thick gray smoke that Elian exhaled slowly spread out, drifting right into Freya's face. The smell of cheap, old-world tobacco momentarily blurred the Divine Knight's vision.On the red plastic chair, its legs starting to bend, Freya was still sitting stiffly. Her body felt as if it were nailed to the earth by the absolute gravity radiating from the silver-haired young man at the end of the table. The tea brewed from dried leaves that Gramps Constantin had made dripped from the edge of the teakwood table, falling with a tick, tick, tick sound, soaking the dirty marble floor.The bureaucratic circus, the question about chili seeds, and the five-thousand-sardine-can fine that had just destroyed her pride, all vanished instantly.The air in the Cabinet Meeting Room of City Hall suddenly became very dense and suffocating. Not from a killing intent, but from an authority that could not be disputed by any law of nature.Elian put out the rest of his cigaret
