At the same time, Beatrice finally could not hold it in anymore, and finally cried out. "The, the barrier. I can't hold it up... anymore." She meekly said, and just like that, her barrier popped off into sparkles of light like a thousand fireflies dispersing. Everyone was shocked and alert. They hurriedly huddled up together for safety. But Jason was not worried. "There's nothing around us... for now." He said, his focus on his Template. As for the validity of his words? They could be found from his newfound Bloodline. He felt like he was able to feel anything within a hundred meter range around them. Even without focusing, he knew what was within range, and felt it. Even a ghost or an ant would not escape his senses. "Are you sure?" Joe verified, and Jason impatiently admitted. "Yeah yeah. 100% sure. Relax." He said, trying to fuse his first inborn trait as a "White Shadow". Joe was dissatisfied with the tone given to him, but did not let it show on his face. He did not really mi

He was becoming more and more interested at his new situation. Especially so, when there were terrifying entities, entire civilizations and many more being affected. 「That matters not though. Do you have a way of returning back to your home?」 The man asked, but just as he asked that question, a voice rose from behind him. It was the man that was stopped by number two earlier. 「Lieutenant commander, Lieutenant commander, those things, those creatures!! They tried to kill us moments ago. Please avenge us!!」 「...」 "..." Everyone was speechless. Including Jason and number two. They both stared at the man, then back at the one considered Lieutenant Commander. 'Dude's a little bitch for crying out like that.' Jason thought, absolutely annoyed and disappointed. 'Should've killed him.' 「...」 There was then a pause as both Jason and the Lieutenant Commander stared at each other. Immense pressure oozing out of his presence, almost pressing even those behind him down. 「Is that so...」 A

Jason thought, as he casually brushed her golden blonde hair with care. He took care of her, the same way she took care of him. Plus, he saw a little sister in her. One that he never had. 'But... I never wished for one to begin with. Only my best friend did. I wonder how he's doing. And the others too.' He thought. At the same time, he thought about his plans from here on out. What would they do from here on out? 'Of course, staying here is a no go. This place reeks.' He surveyed the environment and could see planks, cardboards, branches and other similar resources, here and there. They could take them, and start on their own 'house'... shack. But he felt too proud to do that. Plus, he had no intention of spending another day here. The past few minutes, all he did was brainstorm on his future path, while fusing Talents. He of course obtained a few amazing stuff such as; [Enhanced Condition(C)] and [Beastly Nature(D)]. Which together, brought out [Beserker(B)]. Then that, together

The duplicate arrived at the box covered windows, and peeked inside, where he saw the trio sitting in a circle. "Are we truly letting three loafs go by?" Brute said in discontence, and the other two took a while longer to respond. "You heard from the others didn't you? Those guys are strong." Pertina said, angry and dissatisfied as well. "...I told you guys we should not do this..." Timicus also added, his neck tucked in his shoulders as if struggling for warmth. "But... Fuck it!!" Brute said, and threw away a metallic cup to the wall. The other two did not flinch, and mostly ignored him. "What now? Not like we had a choice. That Novak would have had us killed had we said no." Pertina added in anger. "..." Timicus kept quiet, which signified that such a statement was true. Jason's duplicate then became aware of the overall matter, and had its guesses. From his understanding, the trio were on their way, but turned back due to his and everyone's show of might when they practiced?

'These guys again? Haven't they learned their lesson? Or are three loafs of bread worth their lives?' He thought, calling out another duplicate that would meet up with them halfway. The duplicate hurried off, and indeed, met the trio halfway before they could reach them. "You guys don't learn do you?" He feigned anger, his eyes turning a shade gold, as if a light bulb was lit within them. A response of supplying more ERG towards the Talent. But before he could continue, the three of them went down on their knees and kowtowed to his direction. "Huh?" " " " We would like to work for you!! " " " They sang together, knocking their heads on the dirty floor of urine and feces. Yet they did not seem to mind, illustrating their determination. "...The fuck?" Jason replied in stupor, subconsciously deactivating his Talent. "We are going to be killed either way, so we'd prefer to work for you, and gain your protection instead. Hopefully by then, we wouldn't be killed." Pertina honestly re
