338 The Giant
Boris lumbered forward like he owned the road and everything on it. He rolled his thick shoulders, causing the joints to pop loudly. His arms flexed, the veins standing out like ropes. He brought his fists together in front of his chest and ground them against each other.A low, rumbling growl rolled out of his throat as he stared at the young man waiting in the middle of the asphalt. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this kill!"In Boris's head, the fight was already over. This kid was just another loud-mouthed brat who thought walking up and talking big made him dangerous. He had put down bigger men for less. Then they could grab the Salvatore girl and be on their way.Tyler didn't move. His hands hung loose at his sides. His shoulders stayed relaxed. He watched the big man approach with the same flat expression he might have worn while watching rain hit a window.On the inside, Tyler could even have chuckled. He had faced real monsters inside the hellish Montserrat prison. Men who laughed wh
337 The Ambush
Annika burst out of the car and faced the Cooper goons head-on. She planted her feet on the asphalt and glared at the wall of dark suits blocking the road."What is the meaning of this? What does your boss want now?"The leader among them, Ben Huxley, stepped forward with a grin that stretched ear to ear.Ben led the Huxley gang in Sapphire City as a proxy for the influential Cooper family. He carried himself like a man who enjoyed every inch of his power. His men lingered behind him, their eyes roaming over Annika with open hunger.Huxley kept his tone respectful on the surface, but the lewd stares from his crew made the air feel thick and ugly. "Madam Annika, you are a sight for sore eyes. The boss wants to have a date with you. Come with us."Annika grimaced, her stomach twisting at the suggestion. She had dealt with the Cooper scion's advances before and wanted no part of them. "I already told Rodney I won't date him. Why doesn't he get it inside his thick head?"Huxley chuckled,
336 The Miles
The crusty gates of Montserrat Ice Prison clanged open with a heavy metallic groan, releasing a single prisoner into the pale afternoon light.Annika walked beside him. She guided the way towards the waiting Bugatti parked just beyond the perimeter.Tyler now wore a t-shirt, a leather jacket, and trousers, courtesy of the Salvatore household. A sharp chill was building up from the lingering northern winds, and the distant hum of rebuilt city traffic drifted faintly across the barren stretch of road.Annika slid into the passenger seat without a word, her leather folder resting on her lap. Tyler followed, dropping into the seat beside her.The young man let out a low whistle as his eyes swept over the sleek interior, the polished controls, and the low rumble of the engine coming to life."Not bad," he muttered, almost to himself, running a hand along the dashboard as if confirming it was real. "A luxury vehicle. The Salvatores must be quite wealthy."The seats felt plush under him, a f
335 A Millennium Later
The Montserrat Ice Prison stood like a scar carved into the frozen earth, a hundred miles north of Sapphire City. Its white stone walls rose like an ancient monolith against the pale sky.Built two thousand years ago, it had outlasted empires, wars, and the sudden Ice Age that had swallowed half the planet in a single brutal decade.Millions had entered its gates over the centuries. Few had left alive.Local legends whispered that the deepest levels held a hidden path to purgatory itself, a place between heaven and hell.Now, in the rebuilt world where technology had clawed its way back to the level of the early twenty-first century, the facility still operated under the same iron rules as before.Inside, more than ten thousand inmates filled the endless tiers of cells. Most had life sentences for crimes that had once shocked cities—murder, rape, organized slaughter.Annika stepped through the main gate at midday, her tall frame drawing every gaze. Twenty years old, with the build of
334 Bittersweet Universe
Along with Gaia's maternal voice, the Garden of Prophecies dissolved around Tyler like the final notes of a fading symphony. The hedges melted into shimmering light, and the familiar tea table and its delicate porcelain cups vanished with a soft sigh. The timeless garden gave way to the harsh, ash-choked reality of the wasteland that had once been Sapphire City. Tyler blinked against the sudden glare of the afternoon sun. He suddenly felt very weary. Victor, Ashley, and Natalie stood beside him, looking equally weakened. Moments ago, Tyler had been in an apocalyptic cosmic fight. Now, only silence remained, broken by distant winds howling through craters. Victor exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair as he surveyed the emptiness. "You actually did it. The plan worked. Ashley's visions showed universal devastation. They were proven wrong." Ashley stepped forward, her eyes still wide from the intensity. "The visions showed only possibilities, but never certainties. The God-D
333 The Battle Against God
God's laughter boomed. "I gave Lazarus the means to build the nuke. Every betrayal you faced, every pain in your pathetic life was caused by me. And that applies to all other human beings, too, countless others. They dance on my strings. The suffering of humans is both entertainment and fuel for me."The God-Devil made a fist, and his illusions tightened. Tyler's loved ones screamed louder, the essence of life fading from their figures.Tyler stayed strong, his voice calm amid the chaos. He had to believe in the plan. "Is that so? All of this is your grand design? Do you think you know everything?""I know everything indeed," the God Devil snapped. "Nothing is hidden from me. Resistance is pointless, Tyler Grant. No weapon can harm me. Not even the Excalibur—"He paused abruptly. "But wait—what is this?"It was as if he were suffering a glitch as he began reading Tyler's refreshed memories. On his end, the young man remembered the final piece of the plan's puzzle that would seal it.T
