2022-03-02 22:23:34"Oi brat, are you having fun?" Ruger's voice came as he said sarcastically.
Just as Constantine was at the end of his rope, Ruger's voice finally sounded in his head. Although Constantine usually found Ruger's voice to be very annoying, at this moment of his greatest despair, Ruger's voice could not be any sweeter in Constantine's ear.
Completely ignoring Ruger's sarcastic words, Constantine frantically shouted at him.
"Old man, you're finally here. quick do something, I'm about to be run over!"
"You... who are you calling an old man? For your information, I am only 3000 years old. I am still in the prime of my youth." Ruger bragged.
'3000 years was not old!!!' Constantine thought in his mind. He had an incredible urge to comment on that right now, but he quickly shook his head and removed that thought from his mind. Now was not the time to deal with that.
In the end, Constantine responded, "Wow, you're so young. How powerful... you're simply the greatest. In that case, do something about this situation if you don't want to see me being turned into a slab of meat paste on a pavement!"
Constantine's breath was coming out in short and rapid gasps and he did not dare to turn back to look at the pack of dooms chasing after him. But the shaking of the ground told Constantine that the dooms were rapidly gaining on him. If he didn't do something soon, he might not last for another 5 minutes.
Forget 5 minutes. Constantine felt like he was going to reach his limit in 30 seconds. His lungs were burning as they screamed for air and his legs were starting to feel like jelly and he almost couldn't support himself to run anymore.
Constantine really didn't have any strength left to argue with Ruger, and he only hoped the bastard could help him out of this predicament.
Unfortunately, Ruger didn't seem to be in a hurry to help Constantine. instead, he had an indignant look on his face as he pouted in displeasure and said, "Humph, you mortals will never understand my greatness. When I was still at my peak, I could destroy a whole planet with just a point of my finger and a single attack. Now look at me, stuck to a clueless and ignorant mortal who is too stubborn for his own good."
"I warned you before, right? But you wouldn't listen to me. Now look at you, coming to ask for my help. Well, too bad for you, unlike when I was at my peak and could instantly end the pitiful lives of these inferior life forms, I can't do much now. You have taken all of my power, leaving me with barely enough to maintain my existence in this pitiful form. So you see, I can't help you, unless..."
Ruger trailed off at the end of his speech. This caused Constantine to be furious...
After complaining about everything and saying such useless words, Ruger turned out to be of no help at all.
Furious at his current predicament and from listening to Ruger, Constantine snapped and shouted in anger, "You're blaming me for what happened to you? How is it my fault that you ended up in this state... who told you to try to possess me?"
"Listen here, old man, you'd better help me right now unless you want both of us to die..."
"Don't forget that your soul is currently fused to mine, so if I die, you will definitely die with me. I want you to think of that for a moment while you consider how to get us out of here. How would you feel if the people that know you knew you died because you didn't succeed in possessing a mortal and had all your powers stolen before dying at the hands of those you call inferior life forms?.."
"I am sure there are a lot of people who would get a kick out of hearing such hilarious news and would laugh at you even when you are dead," Constantine threatened Ruger with Posthumus shame.
This seemed to work because Ruger's face immediately changed into a frown when he heard Constantine's words.
It seemed that even though Ruger would enjoy watching Constantine die; he did not enjoy the idea of himself dying at a place like this and in such a ridiculous manner.
Immediately, Ruger replied, "Humph!"
"I'm not saying I can't help you out of danger. I'm just saying that I don't have the power to directly act to save you. You have sucked away all my power, leaving me with only a tiny bit that I used to maintain this current form. If I try to help you, I will risk losing this form and dissipating completely as I fuse with your soul. I refuse to do that. I'd rather die than let you have everything of mine, so if you want me to help you, you have to share some of your power with me."
"How about it brat... can you do that?" Ruger asked with a smile on his face.
Hearing Ruger's words, Constantine frowned. he did not answer immediately, and he hesitated for a moment. The reason was that something was telling him that Ruger was up to no good and he was plotting something.
Constantine did not know what it was that Ruger wanted, but after quickly thinking about his words, he felt that Ruger most likely wanted to take his power back from Constantine.
Constantine did not know exactly how this worked, but deep inside him, he felt that if he did as Ruger wanted, things would end up bad for him.
Constantine wanted to refuse Ruyer's request, but soon he remembered his current situation and realized a terrible fact... he had no choice but to do as Ruger wanted.
there was nothing Constantine could do to save himself. The only way was to rely on Ruger. even though Constantine knew that he had inherited Ruger's powers, he didn't know how to make use of them.
Right now, Ruger's powers were lying dormant in Constantine's body and Constantine had no way to awaken them. If he wanted to save himself, the best bet was to awaken Ruger's powers and use them to get out of here. Since he could not do that, then, just as Ruger had said, he would have to allow Ruger to awaken the dormant powers in his body and use it to save them.
Since Ruger was the original owner of these powers, he was naturally able to awaken them if Constantine let him use his body. But this was where the risk lay.
Who knew if Ruger would use this chance to try to take over Constantine's body again and if he did that, what were the chances that Constantine would be able to protect himself once more just like the first time?

At first, when he learned that he had failed, Ruger had not been too concerned about it. Knowing that a mortal's soul was ultimately weak, it wouldn't be able to bear the weight of his powerful soul.

Due to the fact that Constantine's body was not yet strong enough to control the power of constellation lightning that he had inherited from Ruger, his senses were constantly being wracked by extreme pain and he was continuously lingering at the border between consciousness and unconsciousness.The one in control of Constantine's body was Ruger and under his control, he was able to make use of his original powers that now belonged to Constantine to fight against the dooms that wanted to devour him.Those bolts of lightning that constantly flashed in the sky were a result of Ruger clashing with the dooms using Constantine's body.With the power of constellation lightning lingering in his body, Constantine's body was going through an extreme process of tempering where it was constantly being destroyed and rebuilt under the protection of his powe

BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Truce
Constantine was indeed proposing a truce between himself and Ruger. After all, right now was not really the time to be fighting, and they really needed to resolve their current predicament if they didn't want to end up as a slab of meat on the pavement.Constantine had already taken a step back to offer this truce. Now it would depend on whether Ruger was going to agree or not to know if they had a shot at surviving this crisis.When Ruger heard Constantine's proposal for a truce, he snorted as he said to Constantine haughtily."Humph!""Don't think for a second that I am willing to come to a truce with an inferior being like you.

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
