James found himself in the empty prison again, the stench of blood thick in the air, pooling on the cold stone floor around the lifeless bodies of the prisoners he had killed.The thirst for power had taken hold of him, a relentless craving that consumed his thoughts and actions, much like an addict's insatiable need for a fix.Each act of killing brought a fleeting sense of euphoria, but it was always followed by a desire for demanding more and more.The prison, once a place of containment, had become a butcher please for James.As he stood amidst the carnage, James glanced at his blood-streaked hands and then at the phone that vibrated in his pocket.The name "Father" flashed on the screen."What's up, Dad?" he answered, his voice devoid of emotion, echoing through the desolate halls."I heard you used my authority again to kill the prisoners," his father's voice crackled through the receiver, a mix of anger and concern evident.The sound of it brought a twinge of regret, but James

"I know he will do it," Alex says, his voice carrying a quiet intensity as he hears about what happened to all the Everheart properties and the factory.He has been with James for decades and understands the intricate workings of his mind.He knows James will not stop until his dream is achieved, and he is willing to do anything to get it done. Even if it means harming himself.Alex’s aim has already been achieved: first, to separate James from Sophia; second, to get Tommy; and third, to destroy Wellington's good name so that no one will get close to him.With Wellington's power weakened and people refusing to rally under his flag, he will never be able to become the president of the world without the people's support.Rebuilding the property and factory are easy, but building a good name is hard."Remember to spread the bad things he is doing for everyone to see," Alex says, his eyes narrowing as he plots the next move."We still have Africa and many other places to conquer. Peace wi

"James," Livia calls out, her voice echoing through the dimly lit room. "You cannot win against Alexander if you don’t take drastic measures. Eden country has advanced technologies from Babel. They could easily overwhelm us.""What do you want?" James asks, his tone impatient.Livia looks at James, her eyes filled with determination. "I have lost to Alex twice. I don't think I can bear losing a third time.""Just tell me what you want.""I need more blood."James narrows his eyes, a coldness settling in them. "What can I gain if I give you more blood?""I have clear memories of Babel's technologies. If I give them to you, you'll know how to block Ariel. You can even create orbs like Sariel.""How many people do I need to sacrifice to get all that technology to fight Eden Country?" James asks, his voice steady but his eyes betraying a flicker of unease.Livia smirks and licks her lips. "A million people.""Alright," James says, his voice resolute. "But can you stop pretending to be an

"Master, I found there is some movement outside the USA," Sariel says, his voice urgent."Where?" Alex asks, his eyes narrowing."Mexico and Canada.""From the satellite, there is a lot of movement there," Sariel updates him."Let's go to Mexico; we are closer to that position."For about half a year now, something different has been happening in the USA.Sariel cannot get information from inside anymore. It seems they are changing their telecommunication system, making it hard for them to detect.Their technology suddenly rises at such high speed that it blocks all Sariel's attempts to find information inside.When Alex flies at high speed to Mexico, everything in the country is destroyed. Not even a single animal is alive, let alone a human.The land is totally void of any human body heat. Some fires still burn in the city, casting a haunting glow against the darkened sky."Go check if there are any humans alive," Alex commands, passing city after city but finding no living being."

Alex wakes up, still floating among a hundred million orbs. Everything that just happened occurred within his overthinking ability, a spark of the future.This power allows him to see into the future. But this time, he is completely losing."Sariel, beware of the gray orbs. They have a nuclear bomb and will destroy everything in an attack. They also have the ability to break our shield," Alex warns urgently.Suddenly, the gray orbs appear, moving swiftly to start their attack. "Sariel, control all the millions to shoot at the gray orbs. Don't let them come closer!" Alex commands.Sariel orchestrates the millions of orbs to launch a coordinated attack on the gray orbs, causing a massive explosion with nuclear power. Soon, thousands of orbs launch from various places, all performing kamikaze, a suicidal attack.The hundred million orbs face a real problem as the gray orbs seem to anticipate all their moves, like they know where the orbs will be going.Alex finds himself caught by two cr
