"You... kidding, Dice?" Gala asks softly. Actually, he doesn't not believe what Dice is saying. Where did that lie come from, while he himself is shown the chaos that occurred in Kyler's base, which he once lived in. Also, his mother and father who are in recovery. He doesn't even know if Xavier Horration has really awakened or not. When he left his mother, the man who became his father was still lying with closed eyes. Although it looks peaceful, Gala is sure there is a lot of pain stored there. His body has many scratches, as well as old stitches, especially on the heart where the surgery was performed, and Kyler said, "This new heart won't last, Gala. But at least, if Xavier lives normally, maybe everything can be controlled."Kyler said with a lot of emphasis on the word 'normal,' making Gala realize that the normal Kyler meant is where the father no longer undertakes heavy duties and is not in battle. That's why Gala made a lot of protections for his father and mother, but how co

Gideon growled in frustration. His anger burned mercilessly. He tried hard to avoid the onslaught of bullets falling from the sky. His troops were overwhelmed, attacked blindly as if they were not allowed to fight back. Plus, there was nothing they could use as a shield and protection in this desert. So, they seemed to be easy prey for the invisible weapons that came from who knows where. Gideon was convinced that all of this was the work of Galaksi Haidar.The big man observed the movement of weapons that fired many bullets towards him. They came from the east. So, he prepared a large weapon and aimed through the heat sensors on his gunner. Right on target, where a large automatic weapon that Gala hid was revealed. "Never underestimate my abilities, you Snotty Kid!" He pulled the trigger. A powerful bullet shot quickly and hit Gala's weapon. Causing a deafening explosion accompanied by fire and smoke rising high. The thick smoke disrupted visibility for a while, also slightly choking

Xavier didn't waste any time once he knew Gideon's position, just confirmed by Dice. He quickly asked about the weapon depot and vehicles that could be used, where Kyler had deployed many. The security in this headquarters was very high, but it could still be breached when the main defenses were destroyed. He was quite curious about how Gideon's informant knew this location. Was there a trigger here that eventually led to his presence being discovered? As far as he remembered about his resurrection in Kyler's hands, he hadn't done anything.It means he needs to find out. But he can do that after catching up with his wife. He won't let anything happen to Bellamie. So, the fastest vehicle he could use was the motorcycle with wheels adapted for the desert. Some troops followed him, but Xavier didn't slow down at all. At all. Maybe that's what also left Kyler's troops far behind. With only instincts and coordinates set on the motorcycle's GPS, Xavier sped like lightning. No matter how muc

Maverick was annoyed. Along the sandy terrain, his new job was nothing but grumbling. In his hand, he held a rather large weapon, and Russel walked beside him, occasionally reporting on the situation in South Metro. Their plan for the city center had worked well. Gideon's forces were only surrounding but couldn't cause any damage because there were no Maverick forces there, just ordinary civilians. Gideon couldn't create chaos among the population because of his own oath.Protecting all the people in the Metro world.Meanwhile, Seth and Xavier led the way, talking about who knows what, but it seemed intense. Gala observed from a distance while keeping an eye on reports from the air about the preparations for Gideon's countless airstrikes. With each step, he felt the sandy ground move, perhaps influenced by the strong wind or the snakes beneath his feet. Baby Snake couldn't be asked by Gala to accompany them to the agreed-upon point.No, Gala requested to meet Gideon at the point he wa

What Gala anticipated about the night they spent near the rocks in the middle of the Evermoon desert turned out to be true. Even though Gideon's Great aircraft often passed by them, there were no attacks. Just monitoring their movements, where Gala wouldn't make any moves that Gideon could detect. Gideon's nanomite weapon is very dangerous. Although Kyler also has one and has a countermeasure, it is not mass-produced because it violates the laws in Metro. The materials used to make nanomites are special, and it is evident that if Kyler brings them in large quantities to West Metro, there will likely be seizures by Gideon if he recklessly multiplies these dangerous weapons.The sky is very dark with a beautiful sprinkle of stars. There are no obstacles, and Gala watches in awe. He supports his head with both hands, lying down as comfortably as possible, just with a long cloth as a cushion to prevent his clothes from getting sandy. What Gala mentioned about the sandstorm that was suppos

The die hangs perfectly around his neck. He tightens his shirt collar to cover the pendant. He tidies up his hair, feeling it's gotten too long. He trims the thin beard that has grown on his jaw after washing his face. The sword hanging not far from his sleeping bag, he takes and straps perfectly on his back. The two swords that always accompanied him in battles before are back by his side. Also, the pistol with full ammunition is in his tall boots and on his waistband. Everything he used to wear is back on him. Intact."You're back, Xavier," Seth pulls aside the tent curtain and enters without permission, annoying Xavier. "Oh, seeing your displeased face makes me feel like entering a girl's room without permission."Xavier doesn't respond. "I'm not dead, Seth." He double-checks his appearance, which he kind of missed. The last he remembers; he was in a very bad state. And it seems understandable to find out who helped him, as anyone who helped him then truly helped him.Hearing Xavie

In another tent, Gala seems to be doing the same as his father. He checks himself in the mirror with a somewhat hesitant look at his reflection. His eyes never leave the necklace around his neck. The die resembles his father's. A perfect duplicate, somehow his father managed to do something he considered impossible, but in reality, the object is right there near him. It glows in the same color as the one that adorned his neck not too long ago.A time when he was like everyone else, racing through many things, experiencing and dealing with many surprises he never imagined in his life. He remembers all those amazing things, recorded as a unique experience in his mind. Despite the very high level of concern, Gala truly believes that he will be fine. Not because this die will protect him, but because he will fight to provide protection for himself and others.Day by day, he realizes that besides being dangerous, this die is also a medium that can make others depend on him. What can't the

The incident when Bellamie was kidnapped.Bellamie really wants to curse the woman who arbitrarily pulled her away from her husband. They were together just a while ago. There's still so much Bellamie wants to ask and say. At least share so many complaints while they are apart. No idea who this beautiful woman is, but she could be considered crazy and terrifying. Because from her hands, Bellamie received two slaps that were enough to make her head spin. The corner of her lips is bleeding. Her arms feel extremely hot. She can feel the annoying pain because of the rope still binding her.Not to mention the rough pushes that make her move quickly, following the steps of the woman in a blood-colored robe. So deep red. In contrast to her skin as pale as marble. Who is she? But Xavier clearly called her name earlier. If not mistaken, her name is... Freya? Well, it's not that Bellamie doesn't want to remember, but the more she digs into her memory about that name, she doesn't find anything.

"Maverick!" Alex yells, where his sword has been pulled perfectly. Repelling the sudden and quite brutal attack because these big cats are very different from the animals that have been showing the way to this strange forest. Where pine trees that used to look dense now begin to shift or not, who knows. In Alex's eyes, everything seems to be moving away as if bringing them to a fairly large but rocky place.The sky is still as dark as Alex knows. His sword swings several times, pressing the cat to retreat, but it seems their strength is immense. Alex fights against almost four animals, which have very long fangs. Their orange eyes and hisses are terrifying. Alex is sure that if he gets bitten by those fangs anywhere on his body, it will result in a deep wound. Moreover, if these creatures are mythical, it means the injuries they cause can be severe."Try not to get bitten," Alex says loudly. His sword swings again to hit one of the heads of the creature that suddenly jumps to attack h

"Okay. Forgive me. I don't know why you keep saying that I'm careless because I want to throw away the die. You owe me too much, Cathleen.""I know." Cathleen smiles thinly. Her eyes again stare at the link of their hands. "We will live long while holding hands like this, sir. Trust me. The time waiting for you won't be long. And when that day comes, I'm sure we'll all be happy together."Actually, Gala doesn't want to release the girl's grip, but once again, Cathleen's gaze is so convincing. "How long?""Be patient.""How long, Cathleen?" This time the question is so firm because Gala is not a person who likes to wait for a long time, it turns out. Especially when it comes to Cathleen. The question receives a wide smile from Cathleen. She closes it with a sweet kiss as a farewell before she really releases the link of their hands."Do many things with the people who love you, sir. I think the time waiting for you won't feel long."Gala blinked slowly."And never, ever intend to throw

Gala blinked repeatedly. He even woke up with very slow movements as if savoring the moment. In front of him, Cathleen stood with her sweet smile. The color of her face looked fresh. Her blue eyes were lively. Not to mention... oh my! Gala could hardly believe his own eyes."You... you... real?"Cathleen sighed loudly. She walked with a bit of lifting her somewhat bothersome dress. "Actually, I haven't finished my task. Why are you so careless!"The young man stood silent, motionless, with his eyes fixed only on Cathleen, who was now approaching."I've often said that this die can't be handed over. It has a special authentication code regarding its owner. When you intend to discard it, negative energy comes out just like that. And do you know what happens?"Gala is still confused. "Wait, wait! Don't say things I can't digest so quickly.""When are you going to respond to all my statements?" Cathleen grumbled to herself. She carefully took the die hanging around Gala's neck. Her lips s

Gala coughs violently. The pain in his back makes him suddenly breathless. He falls to his knees with a grin that still doesn't want to diminish even a bit. How could it diminish when he repeatedly had to hit trees or large rocks around him. The die still can't be touched again and emits a stronger blue light. Gala still remembers the first time they met in that corridor. The blue light... bright but also makes his heart quite comfortable. But this time, the blue around the die is different.Which Gala eventually realizes, the blue light comes from the hologram girl's projection. The original color of the die itself is a not-too-bright orange, not dazzling, but always makes Gala excited. Somehow the die has a way of being near Gala, but that's what the young man feels."Return," Gala whispers softly while wiping the corner of his lips slowly. The intention to throw away the die as far as possible seems to have to be reconsidered. What he is experiencing now seems to be a protest from

Xavier's earlier remark makes Maverick chuckle. "If you're joking, you should pay attention to your surroundings. If you leave my body there," Maverick points quickly, "What will happen to South Metro without me?"Xavier remains silent. He starts thinking about how to cross this seemingly endless chasm, except for the dangerous fog and steep rocks. He never knew there was a black panther guarding East Metro. He should have asked who this big cat really was before deciding to follow it. Ah, it's all because of Maverick who casually requested the big black cat for this Gala search.For some reason, his heart is restless, and everything revolves around the dice. He feels that the dice did something to Gala, and that fear is proven. In front of him is no longer the forbidden forest where the end should be a twin hill, one of its slopes slightly sloping. Indicating the border with North Metro, but what he sees is no longer what he imagined. Everything looks very different.He has lived for

Moreover, until that moment, his whereabouts were unknown. And now, for some reason, what really happened and what he went through made him even more curious."What do you want to ask, Alex?"The sturdy man is quite surprised to hear a question from Xavier. When he turns, the man next to him just laughs."Your head is so noisy."Alex blinks slowly. "Don't tell me you know what I—""You guys are too noisy," Xavier quickly interrupts, then his eyes turn to Maverick, who is still enjoying his cigar. "Especially you, Mave.""You know, I do love talking. My mouth feels cramped just being silent like this all the time. Luckily, the cigars I brought have enough stock until tomorrow." Maverick only glances briefly. "I'm sure whatever's in my head Alex won't be easy for you to share, right? So don't bait us to pressure you to speak."This time, Xavier laughed. "I still can't find the right correlation about your relationship with Gala. Has my son often visited you guys?"Both Maverick and Alex

The last trace of Seth's troops deliberately following Gala ends near the Netland village border. One of the quite remote villages but is one of the most popular tourist destinations for residents of North and South Metro. Most tourists come from both Metro regions. The village is still surrounded by evidence where snow perfectly covers its peaks, but it gets the most sunlight. Strangely, the warm light cannot make the hilltops melt. Only pine forests that still grow lush and maintain their authenticity.For this search, Seth was asked not to join, although the man insisted. But what Jiro said was true. At least for the next few days, Seth shouldn't leave the White House, especially when his heart is still uncontrollable. Losing Cathleen must be a severe blow for him. Kyler, who came earlier, also agreed with what Jiro said. Choosing to accompany Seth in this city center.Actually, for Xavier, this search is not too necessary. He is sure Gala is fine. Even if this search needs to be d

"Have you seen Gala?" Maverick has been quite curious about the young man since earlier. Since that news came, he hasn't wasted any time. Seth Rafael can't be lying, but after hundreds of years? What really happened? And how can this young man seem to know the girl in the white coffin very well? Maverick is not blind to notice that some people, including Xavier, seem very affected by this event.As far as his memory goes about the battle that took place between all of them and Gideon, there is no leader of the regions who did not survive. Everything returned to normal despite suffering some injuries. Only Gala. Yes, only that young man didn't come back. Xavier, who last met the young man, did not answer any of Maverick's questions about the whereabouts of his son. As if they were hiding something, but Maverick didn't understand.They returned with a lot of questions, which also made Mave and Alexander agree to search for the whereabouts of the young man.
