Hubert wasn't overly startled by this revelation. Given Jacob's rank, it would have been impossible, but even Domi hadn't reached level seven. The only logical inference was that implanting the Energy Stone was Domi's superpower. However, Jacob had mentioned that Domi aimed to resurrect someone. Why then would he need assistance when he himself possessed such capabilities? "Why doesn't he just resurrect the person himself? What's the point in aiding my ascension to level seven? Lancelot almost died, and yet he was saved."Rubbing his chin contemplatively, Hubert waited for Jacob's reply, which came promptly: "The person Domi seeks to revive is already dead—absolutely dead. It's called 'resurrection,' not 'saving a life.' The two situations are hardly comparable.""So that's how it is? The person is already dead." Hubert mused, nodding in comprehension. For some inexplicable reason, Domi's intent to save someone evoked a surge of emotion within him. The mere mention of that mysterious

However, Jacob offered his own theory: "I think this place doesn't react to ordinary people without Superpowers. Our experience of free-floating might have been a test to gauge our abilities and rank. Once we landed, the force seemed to use our ranks to exert pressure. Since Winston has no rank, the pressure eventually dissipated.""Why do you sound so certain?""Because I've read about it."Jacob elaborated further: "I believe this space is a unique manifestation of Superpower generation. However, the one who created it might not have a sufficiently high rank, hence the chaotic disruption in the normal flow of time.""But if their rank isn't high, how could they even create a space like this?" Hubert instantly retorted, reasoning that even achieving a mere ten square meters of space required a rank three, and a rank four could only open up to twenty square meters. The space they were in had to be at least a hundred square meters, meaning the Superhuman responsible must have achieved

Jacob replied with earnest eyes, genuinely perplexed: "I truly cannot fathom what thoughts whirl in Hubert's mind to make such a presumption. Domi never mentioned the asteroid's operation, nor did he utter a word about Theodore. From beginning to end, his sole focus was on you and on propelling you to the seventh level. Why would you suspect otherwise?"Hubert's voice took on an eerie cadence, his words imbued with a gravity that caused the room to still: "Because I used my Clairvoyance to see my elder brother, standing right before me.""What? Excuse me?" Jacob's voice raised in pitch, uncertainty evident in his tone: "Theodore stands before you now?"The weight of Hubert's revelation wasn't lost on Winston, who until now had chosen to remain a silent spectator. The shock in his voice was palpable: "Theodore is here?"Hubert, with a hint of mystery, posed a question: "Would you like to see for yourself?""But how?" Jacob's question echoed the skepticism and curiosity they all felt.W

Hubert's voice rose, his query dripping with incredulity. For a brief moment, Jacob found himself lost for words, caught in the realization of his stance. But as tensions grew, Winston stepped in, attempting to diffuse the situation:"What Jacob mentions isn't entirely unfounded. The young master Canis has, indeed, been unreasonably oppressive towards Lancelot. The form of this oppression being tied to their professional obligations. Lancelot, ever so impulsive by nature, has often retaliated. This only fuelled Canis' desire to report and penalize him further. While both hold equivalent military ranks, young master Canis’ achievements are undeniably superior, intensifying Lancelot's resentment. This cycle has persisted for years."The more Hubert heard, the harder he found it to believe that Canis could stoop so low. Yet, from what he had observed, the animosity between Canis and Lancelot was certainly not one-sided. Was Canis' conduct towards someone he held affection for not somewha

As he spoke, Hubert darted out, with Winston in quick pursuit and Jacob trailing behind. As they reached the end of the research wing's corridor, they encountered Minister Wang and Gideon, emerging from the prisoner's chamber, followed by Caradoc and other Superhumans. Minister Wang inquired:"Did Domi cause any trouble for you?""None."Hubert promptly responded. Gideon then added with a sarcastic edge:"First, jealous to the point of seeing red. Now, even imprisoning one's own kin. Truly unexpected!""What did you say?"Jacob's eyes widened at Gideon, who unflinchingly met his gaze. Just as a verbal standoff seemed imminent, a voice echoed behind Hubert:"Hubert! I heard the alarm. What's happening?"As Canis emerged from the hallway of the rest room, close on his heels were Lancelot, Nathan, and Phelan. Hubert was on the verge of responding when suddenly, Lancelot dashed forward, taking refuge behind the boy, his eyes, wide and narrowed, glaring defiantly at Canis. What on earth ha
