The midday sun felt wet and sticky, as if the Jakarta air had turned into a giant soup of steam. The asphalt beneath their feet was no longer hard and black, but heavily cracked, covered in thick, dark purple moss growing at an unnatural speed.

Elian stepped carefully, avoiding greenish puddles that simmered slowly between the roots of the Angsana trees that had burst through the sidewalk. The roots were as thick as an adult's thigh, wrapped around the dented wreck of a H

  • Chapter 182: The Kill Zone

    The world lost its footing and its sense of gravity in a hundredth of a second.As soon as Elian stepped through the portal's veil, all the laws of Earth's physics he knew shattered into a thousand pieces. They were not walking in a tunnel or a peaceful corridor of light. They were free-falling into a cosmic storm vortex.Around them, space and time swirled wildly, forming a dazzling distortion of purple, gold, and blue. There was no up, no down. Everything was floating.Vara, who had shot in right after her boss, immediately lost her balance. Her body spun in the empty air."Damn it! I'm floating, El!" Vara cursed, trying to balance herself by waving both her arms, but her body just kept being thrown forward without any gravitational pull.Agus followed in. The black-armored giant immediately began to swim a very ridiculous breaststroke in the empty air, his legs kicking frantic

  • Chapter 181: The Awakening of Elian and the Knights of Earth

    The Jakarta sky seemed to be bleeding. The clouds were roughly torn apart, replaced by a boiling, deep red glow like an open wound in the Earth's atmosphere. The cosmic trumpet continued to roar, sending vibrations that made the pebbles on the City Hall courtyard's asphalt jump slightly.In the middle of the square, surrounded by Colonel Badra's troop barricade, a vortex of energy spun wildly.Freya stood in front of the vortex. The Astra Divina Knight closed her eyes, focusing her holy Mana. The light wings on her back flapped slowly. In her right hand, the giant Claymore named 'Ignis' began to radiate an incredibly hot, holy white fire, making the air around it ripple and smell of ozone. In her left hand, the Golden Shield with the engraving of a jet-black dragon was held tightly. The dragon's eyes on the shield glowed red, responding to the tension that was ready to explode."The path is open, Elian," Freya said, her

  • Chapter 180: The Echo of Laughter, Tears, and a War Cry

    The sky above Jakarta no longer looked like night. The reality above them had been roughly torn from the outside, letting a boiling, blood-red light seep in like a gaping wound in the Earth's atmosphere.TEEEET, TEEEEEEEEET.The cosmic trumpet roared again. Its tone was very ancient, heavy, and deafening. It wasn't the sound of an instrument being blown with air, but a space-time frequency vibration designed to crush the enemy's morale before the battle even began.The glass on the remaining skyscrapers along M.H. Thamrin street shattered in unison, showering the asphalt with shards of glass. A wind smelling of sulfur and rusted iron swept across the City Hall courtyard, blowing away dust, tent tarps, and the last of the no-longer-relevant citizen registration forms.In the middle of the chaotic evacuation of the panicked citizens, where thousands of civilians were running and elbowing each other tow

  • Chapter 179: The Multi-Dimensional Extortion & The Concrete Jungle Army

    The Cabinet Meeting Room on the second floor of City Hall, which had been filled with a sacred aura from the awakening of fifty undead, suddenly turned into a bureaucratic circus arena.Freya, the Primary Knight of Astra Divina, sat frozen in her plastic chair. Her crystal-blue eyes stared in disbelief at the middle-aged man in the shabby batik shirt in front of her. Mr. Hendra had just shoved a stack of neatly clipped papers on a clipboard at her, complete with a black-inked pen."You, you are joking?" Freya's voice trembled, not from fear, but because her sanity was being brutally violated. "My world is being destroyed! My Empress is being hunted by the dogs of the Obsidian Council, and you, you are holding me back to discuss a travel letter?!""Natural disasters and cosmic invasions are no excuse to ignore administrative order, Miss Alien," Mr. Hendra answered without a hint of guilt, tapping the paper on his clipboar

  • 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
