"Hubert!" Startled by Canis's sudden shout, Hubert turned: "Yes?" But before he could get another word in, he was pulled back by Canis, who glared at Lancelot and said: "Stop being so chummy with that lecherous rascal." The edges of Hubert's lips curled into a smirk, amused. If Canis found Lancelot lecherous, what did that make Hubert himself? Was this an instance of brotherly favoritism where one's faults are ignored? "We're just teasing each other." Hubert clarified."It doesn't matter. No means no." Canis replied, finding a justification to keep Hubert close by, leaving Lancelot to lead the way. Lancelot's playful mood was disrupted, and he grumbled: "Better a man of passion than a prude like you." "What did you just say?" Canis retorted, ready to pounce. Laughing provocatively, Lancelot dodged Canis's attack, leaving him to brood over the fact that Lancelot wouldn't even remember his first time. One day, Canis vowed silently he would give his first time to someone he truly

"Where are Aidan and Lancelot? And... where exactly am I?"It was only now that Hubert took in his surroundings. He found himself sprawled on a lavish, expansive bed in an opulent chamber. Canis replied: "This is the Anthony family's base.""So it is."No wonder it felt so luxurious. But Hubert bit his tongue, restraining any comments. Canis continued: "Aidan is in another room, while Lancelot... he's in the infirmary, awaiting his end.""End? Who's dying?"Disbelief gripped Hubert. The idea of Lancelot facing death was preposterous. Should Lancelot dare to perish, Hubert swore he'd drag him back from the abyss. Although once an adversary, Lancelot's essence was too valuable for Hubert to wish him gone."Take me to Lancelot. I can save him.""Truly?"Canis's eyes lit up with hope as he assisted the weakened Hubert. As Theodore's aftereffects lingered, Hubert felt as though every tendon and bone threatened to snap. The audacious Theodore had taken liberties, overpowering and "using" Hu

Engulfed in remorse, Hubert resolved to push these thoughts aside. He tapped Canis's shoulder, attempting to rouse him: "Canis, Canis!" But fatigue had claimed Canis, and Hubert understood. The final healing, one that would awaken Lancelot's consciousness, was imminent, and Hubert could manage without Canis.Hubert approached Lancelot, summoning his Superpower. This time, he not only tapped into the water element but also invoked additional energy to revitalize Lancelot's psyche. This meticulous process of energy transfer and manipulation was indeed a challenge. Yet, Hubert’s prowess, now superior to Lancelot's, enabled him to control the flow with precision.Moreover, Hubert had recently discovered another facet to his powers: the psychic element. This newfound capability allowed him to comprehend the utterances of Baron Derby and the gleeful zombies that had once encountered him. Earlier, his limited energy reservoir had veiled this Superpower, but as it expanded, so did his abiliti

Now, Hubert has ascended to the stature of a Superhuman Level 5. Whether it be the Space Superpower or any other domain, his abilities are unparalleled. Yet, his body harbors an energy so vast that when he harnesses his Superpower, he requires the assistance of another Superhuman, one with an energy reservoir as vast as Gideon's. Without such support, there's a real danger of an energy deficit leading to a catastrophic blockade. The four men, who previously were in fierce combat against Phelan, Nathan, and Canis, now seemed like mere puppies trapped in a cage. They floundered in their confined space, as if blindfolded. The sheer panic evident on their faces brought a chuckle to Hubert's lips. However, the pressing matter at hand wasn't disciplining those men. Hubert had a graver concern – the life-threatening peril faced by Lancelot. With urgency, he grasped Canis by the wrist and pulled him away, but not before addressing Phelan: "Quickly, return! Lancelot is in peril. Phelan, I ne

Nathan's immediate agreement surprised Phelan. But if Nathan was on board with recreating the Energy Stone, Phelan wouldn't dare question him further. Relieved, he recalled the prior disputes over the same topic, which had infuriated Nathan. He now understood the importance of deferring to Nathan's judgment.In a moment of thoughtful consideration, Hubert moved the chair so that Nathan might recline comfortably. At this instant, Hubert initiated his Superpower, his fingers delicately touching Lancelot and simultaneously reaching Nathan. He acted like a bridge, allowing the duo to connect and commence the rebirth of the Energy Stone. For Phelan, he remained intertwined with Nathan, awaiting the stone's complete reconstruction before he could sever the life-binding pact.The process of reinvigorating the Energy Stone was far from painful for anyone. However, it demanded patience, stretching at least two painstaking hours. During its restoration, interruptions were forbidden; else, they
