“Zeke!”In the Evening, not long after Zeke and Celestia’s romantic time, a teenage girl with snow-white hair rushed into the office. She had a slim body, a pair of beautiful bright eyes, a short pointy nose, and an enchanting smile. Angel, who looked like a fairy, jumped into Zeke’s arms and hugged him. She was the same height as he looked older than she actually was.Zeke had already been informed that, due to her unique regenerative ability, her body matured faster than a normal person. Furthermore, she became more social and talkative, opposite to how she had been when they first found her five years ago.“You’re back!”She flashed a pretty smile at him as she giggled.“You’ve grown a lot!”“Yes… hihihi…”She sheepishly nodded and happily spun around. “How are you feeling now? Is everything okay?”Celestia was the one who answered as she approached Angel and caressed her head.“Thanks to Wolf’s treatment, her condition had been cured. She has a monstrous quantity of Aether in h

“Zeke, I can understand your doubt, but we cannot just keep fearing the Dead Ends because we know almost nothing about it. It is better to study it, and eventually, learn to control it. We do not have the military might of the Empire or the Powerful Magic of the Witches, so we rely on something lest we fall and become part of history.”Zeke scoffed at the General’s words, but unlike the last topic, he didn’t drop it, instead rebuking,“Be that as it may, I and the Paths of Extinction System will not tolerate the Dead Ends. Where does that take us?”“I don’t know, Zeke. You tell me.”“For starters, drop the experiments and get rid of the Artificial Dead Ends you created. If you do that, I can convince the Emperor to stop the invasion.”“Convince him?” Zhang furrowed his brows and pondered for a bit. “After sacrificing so many soldiers, he will not stop just because of you. And even if he does, without something strong to defend our borders, we will always be at risk of being invaded i

Azmer and Maxwell Lepard came to pick up Zeke right after his meeting with the General.Zeke was curious, but neither of the two asked any of his questions. Besides the initial greetings, they remained silent.Azmer seemed to have grown, his golden hair tied into a pony-tail. He had a mature and serious demeanor exuding from him, and he acted like a disciplined agent.Maxwell, who was driving, kept sneaking glances at Zeke.The drive to the Capital took several hours, but only because they avoided the highways or roads in which there were any government troops.Zeke could sense Cecilia nearby, actually standing on top of the rapidly-moving car. It didn’t seem like Azmer or his friend were aware of her presence. Admittedly, however, Zeke could feel an impressive quantity of Aether within Azmer’s body. Undoubtedly, the youth who had once been his bully had grown considerably, mentally and physically.He and Zeke had already cleared their feud and were no longer enemies, so to speak. T

“Try not to destroy this place. Okay… start!”The moment Teresa gave the signal, all 8 Special Agents attacked.Ava was the first and fastest amongst them. She leapt forward as a burst of dark purple energy raged forth and descended upon Zeke.[Thunder Movement]His body crackled with blue lightning as instantly moved away. [Ground Wall]The dirt shook and a thick tall wall surged from the ground, blocking a massive fireball before crumbling.Zeke took out the shortbow and leapt in the air, firing multiple thunderous projectiles at the small machines controlled by Bibi.Xiao, Devan, and Franklin, all close-quarter specialists, rushed at him from three directions.[Rain of Arrows]Zeke pointed his bow upwards, which caused shiny voltage-imbued arrows to fall down all around him.Devan and Franklin used their black batons to block, but Xiao stomped the ground and thrust his special silver spear.Zeke was hit by a rapid and semi-invisible force, which blew him to the back. He gritted h

It happened around 7 in the evening, when the sky had almost turned dark. Zeke had just left the graveyard only for several silhouettes to appear.They didn’t immediately attack, but they were holding oddly-shaped artifacts that pulsated with Aether.Blue lightning crackled around Zeke as he stared at the Zyth closest to him.Out of all the Zyth here, he only recognized this one, which only added to his surprise and confusion regarding their unexpected arrival.One of the professors at Erys, the Zyth known as Nayro. He was one of the few Zyth that lived on the Aether Planet rather than staying with the rest of his kin.“Zeke, my boy! It sure has been a long time.”Nayro was as cheerful as ever as he let out a joyful laugh.“Indeed it has.” Zeke swept his gaze across the other Zyths, which numbered no less than 20. They weren’t moving, but their wariness was more than apparent.“I suppose this illustrious company you brought is for me?”“It’s just a precaution, my boy! You’ve grown st
