Hubert's chest heaved with inexplicable dread. Though heartless—quite literally—he felt an unyielding tightness there. The prospect of fighting Raymond tore at him like nothing else; the thought that Raymond might not even recognize him deepened the cut. But if Raymond did recognize him, would he arrive before Raymond's act of self-annihilation?Either scenario was equally heart-wrenching!Now Hubert's party began to mobilize, journeying toward the epicenter where the meteorite had landed. An unseen pressure intensified with each step they took. Their only viable option was to forge ahead, for in moving forward lay their only glimpse at the light of life. Staying put to await a zombie assault would leave them facing stronger foes.Their sole course was to infiltrate zombie territory, eliminate them, and harvest their Energy Stones to augment their powers."We've barely covered some ground and already we're encountering so many zombies; God knows what other kinds of zombies await us fu

Pausing to catch his breath after the lengthy explanation, Hubert paused for about five seconds before continuing his analysis."This transformation ensures that the Eye of Dark Energy will be unable to detect the existence of the clean Energy Eye. He has calculated all this with meticulous precision. He planned for... for..."Self-destruction! The words lodged in his throat, unutterable. The thought of Raymond choosing such a course spun his world into chaos. How could his brother plot his own demise so cold-bloodedly, leaving him to guard the very catalyst of his impending doom? What cruelty could surpass this? Hubert clenched his fists, seething with rage and bitterness. All his efforts to save his brother were rendered futile as Raymond had entrusted him with the means of his own destruction.The dire twist of circumstances was beyond Hubert's wildest imagination, plunging him into a state of utter bewilderment.Yet soon after, a shift in the realm where Lancelot resided numbed Hu

Now the tremors here had ceased, and the deafening blasts from City S had also stopped. Canis looked at the prone Hubert, then toward the meteorite crash site; the dark purple sky still had streaks of light shooting across it. He said:"Do we know what just happened? Has my older brother leveled up yet?""He has." Domi replied, still lying on the ground, panting as if strangled.Lancelot, lying beside Hubert, tilted his head toward the crash site and asked: "How do you know?""I just do." Domi answered languidly, adding: "because I've traveled through time to be here before.""So, you've been clinging to young master Hubert all this time? No wonder he avoids you like the plague.""Hmph!"Domi narrowed his eyes, snorting dismissively. After a moment, feeling the futility of it all, he closed his eyes to reminisce. His mind carefully rewound the visions from years past, converging in his neural labyrinth. Just like today, Hubert had been driven to madness for Raymond.Domi knew that he

No wonder they are so arrogant with such raw power. Yet, if we talk about sheer strength, the Wang squad still holds an edge. A brief glance reveals that the opposition is overly offensive, lacking in defense and support.A purely offensive squad might dominate initially, but the longer the battle drags on, the higher the chances of their defeat. Gideon, after meticulously observing, noticed this significant flaw, which is why he dared to be defiant. He wasn't a fool; he knew that the odds favored the Wang squad. Gideon turned to his remaining teammates:"So, what do you say? They've challenged us. Do we accept?""As long as you're willing, I'm always ready." came the reply.Caradoc was the first to respond, his playful yet genuine demeanor casting a blend of joy and concern over Gideon. The lad's competitive spirit was evident, raising fears of potential harm to him. Then Enda remarked:"Let's have at it then. I may be weak, but perhaps I can procure some Energy Stones for temporary

Though he'd never directly clashed with him, Caradoc knew that Clunky was no pushover. His first encounter with the zombie was when Clunky was merely a level-5, losing a fight against Lancelot. But things had changed; the zombie had gained immense strength over the months, and even Caradoc, who had never fought him, felt a sense of dread.Hubert, too, ceased arguing at this moment. He walked closer to the black "river." stopping a mere five meters away. The heat emanating from it was palpable. Compared to Nathan's or Jacob's fire, Lancelot's was less hot, but it should not be underestimated.When he was merely at level 5, he could transform a high-ranking Superhuman into a mere skeleton in the blink of an eye. Now, the magnitude of his powers is beyond anyone's comprehension.Whoosh!Hubert unleashed a chunk of metal larger than a human head, hurling it into the heart of the river. The metallic mass immediately emitted a sound akin to boiling oil, followed by effervescent bubbles befo
