The smell hit Hal first.

It was… aggressive.

Something between burnt oil, garlic that had lost its way, and the unmistakable scent of meat that had been left on the heat just a little too long.

Hal paused just inside the apartment doorway, boots still on, eyes narrowing slightly as his enhanced senses processed the disaster unfolding in the kitchen.

“…ED,” he said carefully.

From the kitchen came a loud clatter, followed by a cheerful, far too cheerful voice.

“Relax! I’ve got it under control!”

Hal stepped in fully now, shutting the door behind him. Bethany was seated at the small dining table, chin propped on her palm, watching the kitchen like it was a live experiment.

Her expression said everything: equal parts fascination and dread.

“You should’ve stopped him,” Haley said from her position against the fridge. “I told Bethany this was a bad idea.”

"Well, let him try," Bethany said trying to defend him.

"That's right kid," ED said as he continued in his business.

  • Chapter 168– Epilogue: Dawn Bringers

    Hal descended through the atmosphere like a comet of blue and gold, Celestial armor blazing against the blackened sky. The clouds split as he passed, lightning dancing from the friction of his speed, the wind screaming in every direction. A news helicopter caught him on its cameras. The anchor’s voice trembled as it broadcast live to the world: “Ladies and gentlemen… what you are witnessing is… unprecedented… Hal Astravor, descending from the heavens…” Every city paused. Every screen, every radio, every device tuned in. Cheers erupted, shouts of hope spilling across streets filled with smoke and ruin. People cried, waved, and knelt, staring skyward. Below, the world’s most formidable generals waited on the ground, eyes wide, mouths slightly open. Phil Cobblestone, Liu Chen, Hanson Matsumoto, Karl Novan, and Alexandr Dragunov had faced countless threats—but never had the sky itself opened to reveal something so overwhelmingly real. Hal touched down with a soft thud. Dust and rubbl

    And then he exhaled.A pulse erupted from his body, rolling through the void, tearing at Krygios’ shadowy form. The Titan’s weapon clattered aside as Hal’s fists glowed with pure Celestial energy. He struck again, crystal core exploding with radiance. Light poured outward, ripping through shadow and stone, fire and gravity.Krygios screamed—not in pain, but in disbelief. The Titan had conquered worlds, ended civilizations, ruled death itself—and yet, here he was, unraveling before a human.“Impossible…” Krygios whispered, stumbling backward. Light cracked through his scales, shadows retreating.Hal didn’t hesitate. He struck once more, directly into the Titan’s chest.The crystal core shattered.Not with an explosion. Not with fire. With brilliance. Light spilled outward like a thousand suns, scattering into infinity. Krygios’ massive body began to dissolve—first into shards of dark crystal, then into glowing motes, finally dispersing into radiant starlight that drifted across the voi

  • Chapter 166: To Scream Defiance At The Heavens (3)

    The first blow never landed. Krygios’ weapon carved through space itself, a crescent of annihilation sweeping toward Hal with enough force to shatter moons. The void screamed as the strike passed, then stopped. Not blocked. Not deflected. It simply… failed to arrive. The space between Krygios and Hal folded inward, distance stretching like molten glass. The blade passed where Hal had been, even though he hadn’t moved. Hal floated there, suspended against the black canvas of space, Celestial armor gleaming faintly like a newborn star. Krygios’ burning eyes narrowed. “…Interesting.” He twisted midair and struck again, faster, harder. The weapon roared, shadows clinging to its edge like starving beasts. Again, the strike slowed. Again, it never reached its target. Hal exhaled softly. Reality bent. Not violently. Not loudly. It simply obeyed. Krygios felt it then. The subtle wrongness. Momentum is bleeding away. Vectors misaligning. The universe is refusing to coop

  • Chapter 165: To Scream Defiance At The Heavens (2)

    Chapter 165 The explosion tore space apart. It wasn’t light. It wasn’t fire. It was force, raw, absolute power unleashed without restraint. Hal’s body was swallowed whole. He didn’t scream. He didn’t even have time to brace. Krygios’ glaive struck him dead-on, the crystal core in the Titan’s chest flaring as shadow collapsed inward and detonated outward all at once. The impact erased distance. It erased direction. Hal was hurled like debris. Armor shattered in layers. Celestial plating cracked, systems screaming as they overloaded. His body slammed through drifting asteroids, pulverizing them on contact, until even momentum itself seemed to give up trying to stop him. Krygios followed. Not rushing. Not chasing. Just… appearing. A massive fist closed around Hal’s face and drove him forward, smashing him again and again, each punch bending space slightly, each impact carrying the weight of extinct civilizations. “You fight like a survivor,” Krygios said calmly, slamming

  • Chapter 164: To Scream Defiance At The Heavens (1)

    Hal broke the sound barrier in less than a second.Kansas City vanished beneath him in a blur of fire and shattered air as his Celestial armor flared, stabilizers screaming against atmospheric resistance. The world watched.Every surviving MHO satellite locked onto his ascent. Emergency broadcasts, some sanctioned, most hijacked, lit up shattered cities and underground shelters alike. Soldiers, Hunters, civilians, and children huddled around cracked screens and flickering projections.A single figure rose, not in a jet.Not in a shuttle.But alone.“He’s leaving the atmosphere!”Static tore through the audio as Hal punched through cloud layers, pressure crushing inward before evaporating entirely. The sky darkened from blue to violet, then to black.Sound died, and fire peeled away from his armor in ribbons as the last vestiges of Earth’s gravity released him.And suddenly.... Silence.Earth curved beneath him, vast and fragile, glowing like a jewel suspended in nothingness. Storm s

  • Chapter 163: Things That Can't be Avoided (7)

    The scythe didn’t whistle. It howled. Marbas reacted instantly, pages of the Black Script flipping violently as a sigil detonated between them. Force erupted point-blank. Hal was thrown backward like a discarded doll, spine crashing through concrete, ribs fracturing audibly. The wall behind him collapsed inward. But the scythe had already tasted blood. A thin, glowing line split Marbas’ chest, black ichor sizzling as it touched the air. Marbas staggered one step back. He looked down. Then he laughed. “…So you can cut me.” Hal pushed himself upright, his wounds sealing themselves up. It was another Qi trick. His breathing was heavy, but his eyes were clear. “You talk too much,” Hal said. “That’s your flaw.” Marbas’ smile widened. “Then allow me to correct it.” The Black Script snapped shut. The world screamed. Every letter ever written by Marbas ignited simultaneously. Sigils burned into the air, into the ground, into Hal’s vision itself. Fire rained from nowhere. Ic
