With that decision made, the Air group didn’t waste time.

They moved quickly, almost eagerly, setting out toward the Metal territory to seal the alliance Kai had suggested. From the way they left organized, purposeful, and a little too smooth, it was clear they already had a pitch prepared. Whether that pitch was honest or layered with hidden intent was another matter entirely.

Kai watched their backs as they disappeared into the distance, his expression unreadable.

Once they were gone, he turned without ceremony and motioned for the others to follow.

“Let’s go to our space ” he said.

Back at the Water territory, the contrast was immediate.

The moment they crossed into their domain, the pressure they’d grown used to elsewhere vanished. The air felt calm, flowing, almost welcoming.

The seventeen houses stood neatly arranged, each one identical in structure.

This time, they decided to go into the houses, moving from house to house, and just as expected, each building contained a wooden

  • 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

  • 442: Weakest Human Alive

    Zora yawned and it was not the polite kind, it was the exaggerated, jaw-stretching, absolutely disrespectful kind, like what you’d do in front of someone who had just crawled out of hell and called it a warm bath.“Tsk,” she muttered as she stretched, dusting imaginary dirt off her clothes. “Lazy. Brainless. Humans.”Kai was still on the ground, staring at the sky like it had personally offended him. His chest rose and fell violently, limbs spread out as if the earth had finally claimed him.Then something hit his face.Smack.“Ow...what the hell...”A pill rolled down his cheek and landed near his ear.“Eat,” Zora said lazily. “Unless you plan to die here and fertilize the grass. That buffalo already did its part.”Kai squinted at the pill like it might explode, then sighed and shoved it into his mouth. The effect was immediate.Warmth surged through his body, violent but controlled. His muscles relaxed, his breathing steadied, bones hummed as energy refilled him like someone pouring

  • 441: The Eighth Punch

    Three hours.That was how long it dragged on.By the time the twin suns had shifted slightly in the sky, Kai’s breathing was ragged, chest rising and falling like a bellows on the verge of tearing apart.Sweat poured down his face, soaking the ground beneath his feet. His arms trembled uncontrollably, muscles screaming in protest, and bones humming with a dull, dangerous ache.And yet, the Iron Buffalo still lived.It was no longer charging with the same terrifying dominance. Its steps were uneven now, one of its legs clearly fractured, blood seeping from deep cracks in its iron-like hide. One of its three eyes had gone dull, the pupil shattered from repeated impacts. But even like this, it refused to fall.Its life force was stubborn and vicious. The kind that didn’t understand retreat.Every time Kai completed the seventh punch, the same thing happened. The power peaked, spread, battered the beast… and then collapsed. He would instinctively dispel the technique to stop his body from
