Without missing a beat, the Air group immediately agreed.

There was no hesitation, no need for prolonged discussion or cautious deliberation. To them, this alliance was not just beneficial, it was salvation wrapped in opportunity.

If Water stood with them, the entire balance of the game would tilt. They knew it and everyone here knew it.

The Air leader straightened, his earlier gratitude sharpening into something more calculating.

“Then there’s something we’ll need,” he said carefully, though his eyes betrayed eagerness. “A Water token.”

Kai frowned slightly. Not the deep, dangerous frown he wore when angered, but the mild, irritated kind he reserved for things that sounded unnecessarily complicated.

“A what?” Kai asked flatly. “You people collecting souvenirs now?”

Abigail blinked and Jian’s brows knit together in quiet confusion.

Seeing their expressions, the Air leader quickly waved his hands and explained, clearly assuming this was common knowledge.

“Each element has tokens,” he s

    Again, the world twisted.One moment, Kai felt the familiar pull behind his navel, that strange sensation like reality being folded and refolded around him, and the next, his boots crunched against dry grass. Warm wind brushed against his face, carrying the scent of dust and beasts. Two suns hung lazily in the sky, bathing the land in golden heat.The savannah.Kai didn’t even need to look around properly. He already knew where they were.Zora stood a few steps ahead, hands behind her back, staring across the endless stretch of land dotted with distant herds and rolling plains. After a few seconds, she let out a long sigh, the kind that sounded like someone deciding what to eat rather than where to wage war.“I want to feast today,” she said casually.Kai twitched. That sentence alone never meant anything good for him.Zora turned slightly, her eyes glinting with interest. “We’ll be changing targets this time.”Kai swallowed. “That… doesn’t sound comforting.”She ignored him completel

  • 447: No More Wasted Potential

    Soon, the scenery around them shifted again.The dense rainforest faded away like mist being wiped from glass, replaced by a wide valley stretching endlessly before their eyes.Jagged cliffs rose on both sides, their surfaces etched with strange patterns that looked less like erosion and more like ancient scars. The ground was dry and cracked in places, yet spiritual energy pulsed faintly beneath it, slow and heavy, like something breathing in its sleep. Above them, the twin suns hung high, casting long shadows that made the valley feel both vast and oppressive.Zora stopped walking.Abigail halted beside her, already sensing that this place wasn’t chosen randomly.Kai lingered a little farther back, arms crossed, instinctively scanning the surroundings, but Zora didn’t spare him a glance this time. Her attention was fully on Abigail.Zora turned slowly, eyes sharp, unreadable.“Do you know why I brought you here?” she asked.Abigail shook her head. “No.”Zora scoffed softly. “Of cour

  • 446: Into the Green Hell

    Morning arrived far too quickly.Kai barely had time to splash water on his face before the door exploded open.“MOVE...!”The shout came like thunder, followed by a string of curses so creative and venomous that Kai briefly wondered if Zora had invented a new language overnight.He hadn’t even fully processed what was happening before a violent force grabbed reality by the collar and yanked all of them forward.The villa vanished, the world twisted and then humidity.Thick, suffocating humidity slammed into them.Kai staggered slightly, boots sinking into damp earth, the smell of wet soil, rotting leaves, and ancient trees filling his lungs. He straightened immediately, eyes scanning the surroundings on instinct.Towering trees rose in every direction, their canopies interlocking so densely that even daylight struggled to push through. Vines hung like lazy serpents from branches thicker than buildings. The air buzzed with unseen life, chirps, growls, distant screeches, things crawlin

  • 445: The Calm Before the Pain

    Kai burst out laughing the moment Emily whispered her question, the sound sharp and unrestrained, like someone who had long given up pretending life made sense around Zora.“If she really went all out,” he said casually, waving a hand as though he were talking about the weather, “even if you piled both our families' resources together, cooked them properly, and served them with seasoning, it still wouldn’t be enough to fill her.”Emily stiffened. “That’s… that’s not comforting.”“I know,” Kai nodded solemnly. “That’s the point.”He leaned back, resting his hands behind his head, eyes drifting toward the empty ground where the buffalo had once been. “She’s basically a walking void. Bottomless. Endless. I honestly want to see the day she actually says she’s full. That alone might end the world.”From the side, Abigail snorted softly, clearly used to Kai’s matter-of-fact exaggerations when it came to Zora.As if summoned by the mention of her name, Zora rubbed her stomach lazily and stoo

  • 444: Gluttony

    Emily blinked, looking more genuinely confused.She looked at the plates. Then at Zora. Then back at Kai and Abigail.Something was clearly wrong, but no one was explaining it.Kai had already warned her flatly, without emotion, that saying anything would be pointless. Abigail hadn’t even bothered reacting, which in itself was a warning sign. So Emily swallowed whatever question was forming on her lips and stayed quiet, choosing observation over protest.And what she saw was… unsettling.Zora now sat before what could only be described as a mountain of meat, posture relaxed, back straight, and movements elegant. Emily wondered how she'd got more meat just now. Zora continued to eat without urgency yet without pause, as though the concept of fullness didn’t exist for her. Each bite vanished smoothly, rhythmically, like food being fed into a bottomless abyss. There was no mess. No haste. Just an almost graceful efficiency that made Emily feel vaguely threatened on a spiritual level.Is

  • 443: Meat

    The moment they stepped back into the villa, the quiet atmosphere shattered.Abigail and Emily, who had been sitting around pretending not to worry while absolutely worrying, stood up at the same time. Their eyes moved from Kai… then slowly downward… then widened in unison when they saw what he was carrying.A massive corpse.A three-eyed Iron Buffalo.Its body alone nearly filled half the living room doorway, thick hide still faintly gleaming like metal under the villa lights, horns sharp and curved, dried blood crusted along its skull.For half a second, neither of them spoke.Then, without any warning or dramatic buildup, Kai walked two more steps in, loosened his grip, and dropped the entire beast on the marble floor with a heavy BOOM that made the walls tremble.“I’m going to sleep,” he said flatly, already turning around.Abigail’s mouth opened.Emily’s brain stopped.Zora scoffed loudly from behind him. “Look at him. Drag one little buffalo back and he’s acting like he climbed
