The trio, along with Antur, had safely arrived at Ademordna International Airport. They appeared proud and relieved, for it had taken them more than three years to gather the money required for their journey back to where it all began. However, they weren't entirely free from the threat of purgers. Encounters with purgers still occurred from time to time, but they had survived battles against numerous purgers. Facing a single purger with the three of them together seemed like a piece of cake. Gina was weaker now, as the Earth was gradually sapping her power, which she had gained through transmigration. On the other hand, Zeno and Blink were not returnees who grew weaker with time on Earth; they were purgeable criminals who could grow stronger. Their teamwork had become the key to their survival, and they were determined to return to Ademordna to fulfill their promise of giving Gaige's deceased family members a proper burial and seeking vengeance against more purgers to satiate their a

Blink had intentionally landed at a distance from Gaige. He was observant and had noticed a gun holster on Gaige's hip while they were in the car, even though Gaige was wearing a baggy sweatshirt. Blink had chosen to keep this information to himself, pretending not to have seen it, but he remained on guard from that point forward. The trio had engaged in numerous battles against purgers to survive, even after the initial hunt. They had dealt with many psychotic purgers who enjoyed tormenting their targets before carrying out the purging. Gina might be gullible, but Blink, acting as the leader of the three, was a lot more cautious and perceptive. When Gaige asked, "I'm testing you at what?" he genuinely had no idea what Blink was talking about. He believed there was no way they could have discerned that he was testing their gullibility. Blink pointed at Gaige's hip and said, "You're using a sword instead of that gun on your hip." In response, Gaige touched Gun, but simultaneously,

"Lambert, should we send them off?" Phutzafgafghuerh inquired. "How about taking care of them now?" Cain suggested. Gaige fixed a stern gaze on the agitated crowd gathered outside his room. They squeezed against the door, protesting that he shouldn't harbor individuals who put him at risk. Internally, Gaige scoffed at their complaints, reflecting on how they were once in a similar position when he first met them. Nevertheless, he chose not to respond and instead watched as Lisa carefully tended to the wound on his leg. He could have used a potion to instantly heal it, but he kept the wound, considering it a potential means to persuade Blink to stay. Strangely, the same wound seemed to provoke dramatic reactions from his family members. "Does it hurt?" Lisa inquired after wrapping the wound with a bandage. Gaige found the question somewhat absurd. Why would she think a mere scratch could cause him pain? With or without divine powers, he could endure even a stabbing. His pain toleranc

The room fell into stunned silence after witnessing Gaige consume the purger who had nearly led them all to their demise. Watching someone devour bloody flesh and gulp it down, as though it were not a living being, was stomach-churning. The recording device couldn't capture the extraterrestrial body of the angel or the souls of their friends extracted by the angel and absorbed by Gaige's body. All that was visible to their naked eyes was Gaige blankly ingesting the purger's body, reminiscent of the way they devoured sausages in their hideout. Instead of feeling disgusted, they were overwhelmed by melancholy, realizing that Gaige's actions must have been driven by desperation. "What is he saying?" Anniston asked, pointing at the screen. "Is he hallucinating?" On the video, Gaige was speaking to the air in his incomprehensible language. They watched as he grappled with despair, the sole survivor against the red shoe purger. Then, a question arose among the aliens, "How did Gaige die?

Andy had a blast for the first time in ages, all thanks to Ainspenser and Gaige's challenge. He was so overjoyed that he longed for another round of fun with them. Having spent half his life as a purger, Andy had grown increasingly bored with each passing day. Purging had lost its edge, and he yearned for something more entertaining. He engaged in various games, such as faking identities, assuming the personas of his targets, or even forming bonds with them before leading them to their doom. Upon resetting and respawning, his immediate goal was to regain his rank, allowing him to play with Ainspenser and Gaige again. It was the first time he felt motivated to climb the ranks and regain his former power. As the former top purger, he had a few non-purgers under his command, whose sole purpose was to assist him in his games. One such minion was the necromancer Kila. Andy had tasked Kila with finding anything that could help him regain his rank, and that led them to the trio in Ieffam
