Looking at Clark’s eerily convulsing body, Professor Granit closed his eyes, a lot of complicated emotions flashing through them.

This was the same bed that his one and only son lied down on, this was the same bed where his only son’s life was slowly snuffed out before his own eyes, this was the same process that led to his only son’s death.

“Magnus, Rose, I’m sorry”. Tears streaked down his face.

Just a few seconds later, he cleaned the tears from his face, the focused expectant look of a passionate researcher back on them.

Clark’s body kept convulsing at a rapid frequency as bloodcurdling screams kept on echoing from his mouth, filling the dome in a tense atmosphere of death like those in an execution ground.

This brought the Professor’s most frequently asked question again. Is this place really a research lab or is it an execution ground?

He could not think further as Clark’s scream interrupted his thought process.

    Clark felt like he was captured and trapped in a cage where he was being tortured for a thousand years. His eyes were already leaking blood but the strange healing fluid kept on healing his injuries. Being restrained to a bed and having to take so many painful and traumatic sensations was worse than hell. To the current him, dying now was better than persevering. He already tried various ways to commit suicide but the healing fluid was relentlessly pumping inside his blood, making sure that his body kept functioning optimally. His consciousness was already on the verge of shattering numerous times, but another strange liquid pumped inside him kept on stimulating his brain. His adrenal gland was at work, keeping him conscious against his will. “Stop!” “Please, stop!!” He already yelled this countless times along with his screams but no one seemed to be listening to him. His voice was already hoarse, a sign of what he was currently going

    As Clark walked down the spiraling staircase that the Professor showed him, a lot of things went through his mind at the same time, making his thoughts become a jumbled mess. Though he told the Professor so casually like it meant nothing to him, he felt crushed knowing that he just failed a breakthrough. “What happened? Is it because of the quadrant enhancer? Do I really have an artificially made biological device apart from my implant on my head now? Did Professor Granit’s son really die to this same fusion?” The questions in his head were too much, having no one to answer him only intensified his frustration. And the Professor said something about an invasion, what did he mean? Though thinking of the pain that he was in a moment ago still left a sour taste in his mouth, he tried to forget about it. The Professor was right in one thing- that everything had a price. Though he could not finalize his breakthrough after waiting for so man

    Among the 200 soldiers that survived, a notable fact was that none of the Spartan soldiers died. They were the only ones who noticed this abnormality though, the others were still kept in the dark. “Who is that mysterious figure? How is he acquainted with our comrade?” Despite the many questions in the Spartan soldiers’ hearts, they were still left standing in a daze in shock. All the other 200 soldiers still stood shocked also, looking with disbelief on their faces at the destruction that was just wrath by this mysterious soldier. “How strong is that figure, killing over 600 soldiers in one strike? 4th rank high-grade strength? 5th rank? Or even higher strength? What???” The soldiers freaked out immediately as their thoughts kept on wandering to uncharted territory. They couldn’t even confirm if the figure that appeared before them was a human due to the hood that covered his face. Despite his human frame, research already speculated

    “My head hurts!”Clark felt like he was in an ocean where his consciousness was repeatedly being hammered by the ocean waves. He couldn’t see anything, everywhere was blank but his head was hurting like bad.“Who the hell is playing drums on my head?” He fumed but nothing came out of his mouth.Actually, he couldn’t even see himself. Everywhere before him was black and blank like the void space, he didn’t even know what he was right now- if he was existing as a human or as another thing entirely.“What’s a human?” His voice questioned in his mind, sounding confused.At the back of his mind, something called a human was ringing bells in him but he just couldn’t get a grasp of it.“Weird. Is human food? I’m hungry”.Though he could not see his stomach, he felt hungry. He also didn’t know what a stomach was, but his brain just felt that it was the r

    Clark was now feeling confused again. Why was this old man’s every word just weird terms? Why was King acting so differently now? What the hell was an elite-grade soldier, and what was a chosen one? “Don’t tell me that this is an illusion too?” He felt a bad premonition. The old man chuckled before standing up. “This is no illusion, Clark. Follow me, you have a lot to learn today”. “Umm…, yes sir”. As Clark followed the old man, he finally started observing his surrounding a bit. This place was a cave, a pretty primitive one also but he could see that it was slightly altered to be cleaner. A notable fact that he observed was that as soon as he jumped up from the bed that he was originally sleeping on, the bed disappeared. It was baffling but not impossible, so he was still calm. The cave seemed larger than he imagined as they walked forward a few hundred meters before stopping. After taking some turns here and there, they final

    After taking a few strange maneuvers here and there, King finally found himself outside the cave again. Getting outside, the rare aura of a sun peeking through the veils of the stormy clouds poked at his skin. Opening his hands to welcome the penetrative sunlight, he inclined his head back to look at the empty space behind him. Though it ended very fast and Clark accepted easily, he still couldn’t believe that his Master was now the mentor of the revered chosen one. His Master may be outrageously strong, but he was still a human with feelings. And not just any human with feelings, his master was one of a kind. He was quite sure that his Master was very excited after Clark said yes, but he probably reined himself in to act the part as a Sensei. “Sensei my foot!” He spat exaggeratedly. Acting all cold and mysterious was just his Master’s strategy to woe Clark. Put aside his strength, then what you will get is a carefree, funny, and bored

    There was no way that the soldiers could cross all the distance and leave the Everest territory in a single day, so King followed as their escort to safeguard them in the case of any danger. He already promised Clark, so he was going to make sure that they were safe before going back. From the original combined allied squad of hundreds that came here together for the mission, only 12 soldiers survived and only 11 were now going home, Clark’s status was unknown. As they traveled across the snow-filled peaks, Diana frequently looked back as a lot of things went through her mind, making her feel complicated, sad, and even slightly relieved. This mission…, well, what could she say? It changed her a lot, she learned a lot of things, she experienced a lot of things, she felt the happiness of having nice companions, she also felt the sadness of losing a loved one. Though she was now outwardly stable, she knew that deep in her heart, she still had not

    Huff! Huff!Clark was dressed in dirty white clothes, panting heavily as he climbed his way up a slippery slope with a heavy load on his shoulders.An extremely long iron rod was on his shoulders, supported by his beefy muscled arms. At both ends of the rod sat 20 heavy exotic metal drums, all 20 drums were filled to the brim with water.Clark’s face was strained in a frightening frown as his legs shook fiercely, his face sweating waterfalls. His white clothes were now tightly attached and stuck to his skin due to his sweat.His eyes were only facing upwards, his face stern as he tried his best to keep his foot on the slippery slope.After exerting all his effort and draining himself of all energy, he finally managed to take another step, and then…, he got stuck!His legs were now shaking and wobbling at an extremely rapid frequency, his face turning from frightening to most-frightening as his backside shifted backward a bit to

After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point.

    “Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin

It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them.

    Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes

    Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa

    CHAPTER 463: RE-UNION.

    While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<

    The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
