To put his family's lives in danger by telling them the truth... was it really worth it?
Constantine thought about it for a moment before he came to a conclusion.
Whether it was worth it or not, was not up to Constantine to decide. No matter how things turned out, even if dangers really were going to come after them, then Constantine's family had the right to know exactly what they were likely to encounter.
Constantine didn't want to make decisions for other people based on what he felt was right for them. He didn't want to be the sort of self-righteous guy who thought they were keeping others' best interests at heart when they were actually just being selfish.
If there was a matter that involved another party, then Constantine preferred it if that party was actively involved in the said matter. He believed that a person was entitled to the right to make their own decisions in matters that affect them greatly no matter what the out

BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM The True Nature Of Constellation Lightning
"As I said, the reason you can no longer increase your strength as fast as before is that you have reached the upper limit of your current strength. The best way to understand this is like this...""Take a bottle, for instance... imagine your body to be an empty bottle and your powers as the content that fills that bottle. The process of you growing stronger is actually you building a body that can perfectly contain the enormous amount of power that is contained inside you. Initially, your body is like an ordinary plastic bottle and your power is like acid or hot lave. Naturally, it is impossible for a plastic bottle to be able to contain acid or lava. That is why you need a stronger bottle, or in your case, you need to build a stronger body.""Are you following me?" Ruger paused his explanation and asked Constantine."Yeah, though my previous body being likened to a piece of plastic bottle is quite harsh but I am following nonetheless," Constantine replied.
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Rest Time
Having learned what the true nature of constellation lightning from Ruger was, Constantine could definitely say for a fact that his body couldn't bear its full power at all. The only outcome of having so much stellar energy inside his body would be to have it crumble to ash.Finally, Constantine understood what Ruger was trying to tell him...When Ruger said that his power was enough for him to grow stronger, he literarily meant that the power contained in his body was only at the level of what he could currently endure without combusting into flames.With the constellation lightning power in him and having a body that had already adapted to it to the extent that it wouldn't be destroyed, all Constantine had to do was train his body to be able to grasp full control over his immense powers. This way, he would be able to reach the full potential of his current strength.This was in essence Constantine's limit to how much power his body could control. Once t
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Humans In The Doom World
Far in the distance where Constantine was looking, he could see the signs of a sandstorm visible in the air. This was not a surprising sight to see in the desert. If there was any sight that was not missing in the desert, it was dunes and sandstorms.In any case, a sandstorm usually signaled that a herd of dooms is on the prowl. Normally Constantine would have gone ahead to investigate. But now that he had decided to rest, Constantine was not interested in going over at this time.Still, the thing that drew Constantine's attention to this particular sandstorm was its scale. The size of the sandstorm was unusually large... it was much larger than the few he had come across during his training.The Sandstorm was a few kilometers away from Constantine's location but as time looked; it was only a few meters away. This was just how large it was. Compared to the other sandstorms Constantine had come across, this was one of the largest. It was second only to the sandst

"It doesn't matter how they got here," Constantine said."Right now, they are clearly in trouble and are just barely holding on. We need to help them!"There was an urgent tone in Constantine's voice as he looked ahead at the sandstorm. From the distorted waves of energy fluctuations, Constantine could roughly guess the situation inside. Without a doubt, the humans were in a lot of trouble and they were just barely holding their own against the dooms as they ran for their lives.Their situation was kinda like how Constantine was when he had first appeared in this world and he was chased by a large herd of dooms as he was sent running for his life. Right now, Constantine could guess that the humans were in the same situation as he had been then.Currently, Constantine was not thinking very clearly... knowing that there was a group of humans in trouble. The first thought in his mind was to go over and help them, and he did not consider the exact circumstanc

"What has suddenly come over you? Answer me, brat... what the hell do you think you're doing?"Ruger screamed loudly at Constantine, who completely ignored him as he continued heading towards the sandstorm. By the time Ruger could say anything else, Constantine had already dived inside and was heading straight towards the center.At this moment, it was already too late to stop Constantine. In the end, Ruger no longer yelled at him. Instead, he was silent for a moment before he asked simply."Why?"It was a single word, but Constantine understood the intended meaning behind these words. Without stopping, Constantine answered Ruger."You said that I have to bear with it now because I am weak and that when I get stronger in the future, I can prevent something like this from happening again. But I don't think I can wait that long...""I know what it's like for you to be in a desperate situation where it seemed like there was no way out for you.
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Mark Of Hostility
Inside the sandstorm, Constantine was surprised by the appearance of the team facing off against the dooms. It was beyond his expectations that they would actually be so well equipped with impressive tools and gadgets and be able to last very long against the waves of doom attacks.Constantine paused and didn't approach the team immediately as he watched them resist the dooms. Under his observation, Constantine discovered that the team was actually quite capable and experienced in their tactics, which were very mature when dealing with the dooms. This showed that they personally had some experience in fighting the dooms here in their world.It came as a surprise to Constantine that he wasn't the only one that was able to explore the doom world and that there were other humans with the ability to do so. But after thinking about it for a moment, Constantine discovered that it made a lot of sense.It had already been a year since the doom world started fusing with earth and spatial rifts
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Off The Charts Energy Levels
Constantine's charge quickly alerted the team that was in the midst of fighting against the dooms. Immediately, one of the team members, who was hoisting a shield up in the formation to withstand the attacks of the dooms, quickly reported to someone at the back."Commander, there is a large energy signature rapidly approaching from our four o'clock direction. It belongs to an unknown creature and the readings on the energy of this creature are off the charts!"There was a hint of surprise in the voice of the person reporting, and it carried on clearly into the ears of the other members. As soon as they heard this, everybody shot a look at the direction their team member had mentioned and that was when they saw the huge commotion caused by Constantine's charge.By the commotion, it meant that a lot of dooms were sent flying from the direction that the team member mentioned as whatever was behind it changed directly at them.Each of the team members wore a dark helmet on their heads wit
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Nuclear Fist
The unknown was cause for great fear and there was a saying that people feared what they could not understand. All of this was true, and it was clearly reflected in all the team members as they watched with bated breaths the unknown thing that was making its way towards them.The thing about soldiers is that they were trained to head-on into battle where the certainty of death was unknown. Having been trained to overcome their fear of the unknown, every soldier was able to face whatever danger posed a threat to their lives.It was the same now as, despite their fear of what was coming, these soldiers braved those fears and stayed in formation as they continued fighting without panic.The doom world was a place that was filled with countless unknown dangers. The things that could kill a human in a world that was completely hostile to mankind were so numerous that they couldn't be counted. This was a place where the cowardly and timid had no chance of survival. As trained and battle-har

Back to earth 2
With his forehead covered in a nervous sweat, the leader watched as the rift turned into a black dot in space before finally closing completely. As soon as the rift closed, the leader’s shoulders dropped heavily as he breathed a deep sigh of relief. He suddenly felt weak at this moment as the pressure he was feeling in his heart was liberated, making him feel like he would suddenly collapse on the floor. But his training prevented him from doing so. Without the heavy weight of the rift hanging over his head, the leader could finally relax and breathe easily. Taking a moment to regain his composure, the leader turned to captain Keith and reported. “Sir, the rift had finally been closed.”“Good,” captain Keith responded. He continued, “Station a few men to keep watch here and report anything that happens. We don’t want the rift being opened again from the other side. In a while, this place will be turned into a quarantined zone as we wait for the tech guys to arrive and give this p

Back To Earth
The leader hurried to close the rift, which consisted of detonating a set of small special grenades in the small room.On opposite sides of the rift, there were two tall pillar-like objects emitting pulsing light that shine on the dark rift. These two objects were spatial anchors... a kind of stabilizer that was used to maintain an open rift to prevent it from closed prematurely. Like I said before, natural rifts were more stable and could remain open for a very long time without closing. Instead of worrying about keeping a natural rift open, one would worry instead about getting it too close. On the other hand, an artificial rift was difficult to maintain, so stabilizers were needed to keep it open. Human research on space was very slow, and they hadn’t reached the point where they could open and close rifts in other worlds easily. The spatial anchors were a product of genius that had accidentally blossomed to fruition. It was with this anchor technology that the humans were confid

With one last look at Constantine, the leader finally stepped through the rift. In as much as he was reluctant to leave, the leader knew that staying would not help at all. Instead, it would bring more trouble to Constantine.Who told him to be weak and that he couldn’t lend his strength to Constantine?For that matter, whose fault was it that Earth was too weak to fight against the doom? There was nobody to blame, and they could only blame themselves. In any case, it wasn’t like the leader’s troubles were over. Waiting on the other side of the rift was a whole other set of problems that the leader would have to deal with...As soon as the leader came face to face with his superior. This was a man with the body of a giant. Standing at more than two meters tall, with large burly arms like the barrel of a tank, shoulders as broad as vinyl, and a hulking frame that towered over everybody else, dwarfing them in his shadow. This person was the superior officer in charge of the rescue miss

Wounded?
The leader’s face paled terribly when he saw the twenty-meter-tall doom still standing after taking that powerful lightning ball and coming out unfazed.He thought, ‘This is the end!’When the leader thought that he would be flattened, not meat paste in the next moment, his eyes opened wide in fear as he supported Constantine with his body.The leader's eyes were looking forward in a daze as he awaited his inevitable end. But after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened. Shocked, the leader looked at the twenty-meter-tall doom in the distance, only to see that it was standing still without moving at all. Puzzled, the leader paid attention to it. That was when he noticed something he hadn’t done before. As the twenty-meter-tall doom stood silently in place, its dune-like body seemed to be loosening as sand flowed down to the desert continuously. Seeing this state, a single thought entered the leader’s mind...“It’s injured!”Once this thought entered his mind, the leader was ecs

Unfazed
The twenty-meter-tall doom finally revealed itself from underneath the sand. This was the first time the leader was seeing it and it was as shocking as he expected it to be. Figure-wise, the twenty-meter-tall doom was no different from the rest of the dooms. It still had the same dull red skin color that was like rust or dried blood and it possessed the same bloated body. All of these were common features of the creatures known as dooms. Still, compared to the other dooms, there were a few differences between them, the most obvious of which was the twenty-meter height that this menace stood. Another different feature was that, unlike the other dooms that possessed a perfect physical structure, the twenty-meter-tall doom seemed more like a mass of sand packed together in a single cluster. Its body was made up entirely of grains of sand that flowed constantly. The twenty-meter-tall doom was like a giant walking dune, with no fixed physical form except for the overall structure that

First Look At The Face Of Terror
Bzzt! Bzzt!A powerful ball of lightning floated inches above Constantine’s head, giving off buzzing sounds of electricity as it hung suspended in the air. A layer of sweat covered Constantine’s face as exhaustion threatened to send him to his knees. Constantine’s arms were like lead, heavy, and it took all of his willpower to keep them upright to support the lightning ball. Hu!Resisting the urge to wipe the sweat from his eyes, Constantine stared dead ahead at the threat coming his way. The lightning ball above him had a diameter of five meters and it had taken almost all his power to condense it. Its power was naturally great, and it carried a shocking mite that was enough to scare a ten-meter-tall doom into retreating. But despite this, Constantine was clear that his lightning ball was not enough to stop the menace that was targeting him. A twenty-meter-tall doom!This should be the strongest doom that any human had ever encountered. Nothing was known about this doom. Probably

Run? The soldiers didn’t need Constantine to tell them before they did so. The sheer commotion from what was coming was greater than anything they had ever seen before. Rich experience from exploring the doom world for a year had thought these hardened soldiers that when faced with the unknown... the best decision was always to run. Just as Constantine’s voice fell, the leader ordered his men, “All soldiers fall back to the rift immediately. Abandon everything else and fall back!”Following the leader’s orders, the soldiers quickly turned their backs on the dooms they were confronting and ran back to the rift as fast as possible. Immediately, it was chaos all over the desert. Not only were the soldiers trying to escape, but the dooms were also in a mess as their formation completely collapsed and they ran all over the place in a panic. The soldiers were surprised to see that the dooms seemed to be more panicked than they were. Normally in situations where people abandoned all resis

After breaking through the blockade of the ten-meter-tall dooms, Constantine continued speeding his way towards the rift. Along the way, he also encountered more fierce resistance. But it wasn't anything he couldn't handle.Dooms below four meters in height could not stop Constantine at all and while it was tough to deal with four-meter and five-meter-tall dooms, it wasn't as hard as passing through a blockade of ten-meter-tall dooms so it was a piece of cake for Constantine.There were a few ten-meter-tall dooms that tried to stop him. But they did not form a blockade like the previous dooms. then the blockade was formed by not less than five ten-meter-tall dooms gathered together in a line. Due to their large size and the fact that Constantine didn't want to waste time by going around them, those dooms were able to block Constantine's way forward.Thankfully, apart from them, the other ten-meter tall dooms Constantine encountered was only in teams of two or three... nothing Constant

Performing A Miraculous Feat
Ooouuu!Following a loud bellow, the ten-meter-tall dooms attacked. One of them shot its large hand forward like a boulder and slapped at Constantine, intending to crush him to bits.Bang!The blow came fast and suddenly and landed on the ground, causing a large explosion to erupt, blowing large clumps of sand everywhere like pellets of stray bullets.Although the dooms with their large and cumbersome bodies were not agile, they were able to instantaneously erupt with overwhelmingly crushing force in the blink of an eye. If one was not prepared, then they would be crushed to meat patty before they even knew it.Fortunately, Constantine was prepared. Before the doom could even land a hit on him, Constantine had already jumped out of harm's way, letting the doom's huge fist to land harmlessly on the ground.Constantine watched as the desert sand was split by the punch and a huge crater formed where he had previously been standing just a moment ago.Constantine's body chilled as he thoug
