The forest broke open with movement.

They came in silence, a dozen figures slipping through the trees like shadows wearing human skin. Their armor caught the pale dawn light, smooth and dark, shaped to fit their lean bodies. Their helmets had no faces—just glowing strips where eyes should have been, bright and cold like knives in the dark.

They didn’t stumble. They didn’t hesitate. They moved with a rhythm too exact, too sharp.

Hunters.

Lena felt her chest tighten. These weren’t soldiers forced into duty. They weren’t mercenaries chasing coin. These were built—or trained—for one purpose only: to track and capture. Their precision alone made her skin crawl.

Kai shifted the boy in his arms, his body falling into a stance Lena had seen countless times. Calm. Ready. A man who had lived his whole life in battle.

“Stay close,” he ordered, voice low but firm.

The boy stirred weakly against his chest, eyelids flickering open. His breathing was shallow, his body still trembling from the power

Chapter 192 [ZERO NEXUS _ CONCLUSION]
The dust hung heavy in the air, settling slowly over the shattered ravine. Rocks and debris were scattered everywhere, remnants of the battle that had tested every ounce of courage, strength, and willpower the group possessed.Kai pressed the boy tightly against his chest. The boy’s small body trembled slightly, golden energy pulsing faintly but steadily now. Unlike the wild surges before, this glow was calm, controlled—a sign that he had mastered the power that had once threatened to destroy everything.Lena held him close, her heart still racing. “You did it… you’re safe. You survived. You mastered it.”The boy looked up, exhausted but resolute. “I… I did it… thanks to you.”Kai nodded. “No… it was you. You faced it all. You controlled it. You saved us all.”The predator that had terrorized them for so long lay a short distance away, defeated and wary. It hissed, backing into the shadows, no longer daring to attack. The massive figure that had emerged from the depths of the ravine w
Chapter 191 [THE FINAL CONFRONTATION]
The ravine shivered under the weight of the approaching threat. Shadows merged with golden light, forming a massive figure larger than anything they had seen. Its glowing eyes radiated both power and malice. Every step it took sent the ground quaking and rocks tumbling.Kai pressed the boy tightly against his chest. “Stay close. Stay low. This is it—our last fight.”Lena wrapped her arms around the boy, whispering softly. “You can do this… I believe in you.”The boy’s small body trembled, golden energy pulsing in rhythm with his heartbeat. “I… I think I can… I have to…”Kai nodded. “Then focus. Control it. Protect yourself—and us.”The massive figure stopped, observing. It exuded an aura of pure danger, yet it seemed almost hesitant, wary of the boy’s golden power.Mira slashed her blade through the air, Jax firing cautiously, keeping their distance. “We can’t let it touch us,” Mira said, voice steady but tense.Kai scanned the terrain. “We use the ravine. Narrow passages, unstable ro
Chapter 190 [THE TURNING POINT]
The shadow that had emerged from the depths of the ravine was massive—far larger than the predator, its golden eyes glowing like molten fire. The ground trembled beneath its weight. Rocks and debris shifted, threatening to collapse the fragile ledges where the group had fought so hard to survive.Kai’s jaw tightened as he pressed the boy close. “Everyone stay calm… stay close. We have to survive this.”Lena wrapped her arms tighter around the boy, feeling the faint pulse of his golden energy. “You can do this,” she whispered. “I know you can.”The boy’s small body trembled violently. “I… I think I can… control it… fully…”Kai’s eyes narrowed. “Then do it. Focus on your power. Don’t let it control you.”The new threat—the enormous figure looming over them—let out a low, rumbling growl. Its massive limbs crushed boulders as it moved, each step sending dust into the air. Its presence was overwhelming, more terrifying than the predator had ever been.Mira drew her blade, Jax readying his
Chapter 189 [PREDATOR'S LAST HUNT]
The ravine lay in ruins. Dust hung thick, and jagged rocks littered the narrow paths. The boy’s golden glow lit the chaos, pulsing rhythmically now, more controlled than before, but still dangerous.Kai kept a firm hold on the boy, blade ready. Lena pressed close, her arms wrapped tightly around him, feeling every tremor of his energy.The predator had survived the last surge. Its golden eyes blazed with fury and cunning. It circled the group slowly, coiling like a spring ready to strike. Every muscle in its body tensed, tail lashing against rocks, sending debris flying.“This is it,” Kai muttered, gripping the boy tighter. “The final hunt.”The hunters who had survived the collapse were battered and terrified. Many lay pinned under rocks, some tried to escape, but the terrain and the boy’s surging power made every step deadly.Lena whispered to the boy. “You’re ready… you can do this. I know you can control it.”The boy’s small hands flared with golden light. “I… I have to…”Kai nodd
Chapter 188 [CHAOS AND AWAKENING]
The ravine was a shattered ruin. Dust and debris hung thick in the air, making every breath burn in their lungs. Rocks the size of boulders lay strewn across the path, trees splintered like toothpicks, and the ground was uneven, treacherous.Lena pressed herself against Kai, holding the boy tightly against her chest. His small body trembled violently, golden energy flickering uncontrollably like lightning trapped in flesh. Even at rest, the boy radiated power, his pulse shaking the very earth beneath them.Kai’s eyes scanned the devastation. “We need to move. Now!” he shouted, gripping his blade. He could feel the boy’s power resonating through the rocks, through the air, through every nerve in his body.The predator had survived the collapse, though it was battered and bleeding. Its golden eyes locked onto the boy, and it crouched, ready to strike with lethal precision. The hunters had scattered, some injured, some pinned under debris, their weapons useless against the chaos.Lena sw
Chapter 187
The cliff had collapsed. Rocks and debris tumbled endlessly, smashing into jagged cliffs and the forest below. Dust and dirt filled the air, stinging eyes and choking lungs. Lena clutched the boy tightly against Kai, their bodies pressed together, trying to shield him from flying rocks and splintered trees.The boy trembled violently. Golden energy flickered uncontrollably from his body, lighting the ravine in harsh, blinding flashes. The sheer force of it rattled the ground and sent smaller debris flying like deadly projectiles.Kai’s muscles coiled, blade in hand, eyes scanning the chaos. “Hold him! Don’t let go!” he shouted, over the roar of collapsing rock and the predator’s furious screeching.The predator had recovered from the last surge. Its golden eyes burned with hatred and precision. It leapt again, claws aiming for the boy. Its tail smashed against rocks, sending them tumbling in every direction.Lena’s voice cracked. “Stay with us… just stay!” She pressed the boy closer,
