"I need to finish this quickly!" William concluded inwardly as he glanced towards the general's direction. As for now, he was certainly uncertain of what was happening.

"You wouldn't mind turning back, would you?" A voice sounded right behind William's left ear and on turning, the person was right at his front. So close that if William had moved an inch further, their heads would have hit each other.

"This person is no small fry!" William thought, as a bead of sweat formed on his forehead. This person was brightly burning with a deep blue aura, alongside a smirk that was perfectly plastered on his lips, while his hands slept placidly in his pockets.

Shifting back a bit, he smiled.

"Bring out your chain!" He spoke with his left hand extended, and the back of his palm forward to indicate the figure **four**.

"H...How, how did he know?" William thought, his heart seemingly beating faster as he thought of what do.

"However before you do that, why don't we introduce ourselves?" Linton

    "I'm afraid what you just said now would be very true." Hinata chipped in, sounding a bit worried. "I don't like how this is going, it would surely affect us a lot." She added."We need to set out as soon as possible, I doubt Nazumoto and his troops would survive this any longer." General Hiroshi announced, his white cloak making a few ruffled sounds as it blew calmly.Joe had just finished his special announcement and in a few seconds, his face could no longer be seen on the screen. The broadcast had finally come to an end however, there was now a single word written in red blood text letter on all the screens in the room:**HACKED**"I would be the one to bring you down Joe Schäfer!" Hiroshi spoke inwardly."What's the next step to take?" The technicians' leader, whose name was Curtis; inquired as he walked towards the giant television that just went blank due to Joe ending the live broadcast from his side."This was certainly the worst way to make things worse for us." Hinata utter

    "Surprised?" Du Sung asked, as he grinned pleasure at Nazumoto's surprised face. "Now it's going to be you against your bullet, the only difference there is is that it's gonna be ten times more powerful than the original. And mind you there are even more inside of me, so I don't mind if anything happens to this one." He added, throwing up the bullet that was quite enormous for the normal size of a bullet, and catching it as it descended repeatedly. "Captain Chang, the ship is ready to take off!" Du Sung grimaced. "Lock and load!!!" The elder brother ordered and immediately, they were right at Nazumoto's front. One could have assumed that they had teleported there, with the type of speed and force that they used to run towards the general. **"BANG!!!"** General Nazumoto shot his gun, aiming towards the elder brother whose name was Du Chang. "Rha!" The latter yelped, an outburst of steam emanating from his mouth as the bullet neared his chest. In that split second, Du Chang who was s

    "General!....... General!!....... General!!!""Huh?" An individual mumbled, getting up like someone who was just snapped out of his daze."How dare you, screaming at the top of your voice when I'm trying to take a nap? My pos---" He paused for a moment as his eyes adjusted to his environment."My position....." The person muttered, his mind wandering off for a few seconds, before raising a corner of his upper lip slightly like he wanted to complain about something."But why the hell is this place dark?" He inquired looking from right to left, before turning to his front and back respectively, ostensibly oblivious of the direction he faced currently."This place is so dark, I can't even see my own hands." He noted, raising the both of his arms slightly to see if there would be any changes."Sighs. It was just like I thought, nothing changed." He said, before taking a few steps forward."Oh! What about the person who woke me up in the first place?" A smile surfaced the male's lips in t

    "Did I just hear sovereign?" Linton pondered, as he raised one of his brows up in surprise. However, this gesture of his didn't last for long as a very calm but sharp yellow aura busted out of the sides of William, engulfing one side of the whole barrier, which was were he stood. "Now, I think I can spare you a second to hear about the tale of the pole and the bear. However, I only need it in little details or summary. Don't waste my time, or this chain of mine would waste your life." William spoke, ostesnsibly calm but raged at the moment."Very good, let's turn this shit up!" Linton uttered, as his blue aura also rose in a crescendo."Tsch! Damn this all!" William cursed inwardly, as his yellow energy fluctuated for a second."Did someone just die?" Linton pondered for a moment as he came to a sudden halt, before putting all thoughts behind for later. He simply couldn't stop what he was doing now, how the hell was he meant to check what was actually going on outside of his domain ba

    The sudden appearance of the two brothers startled the sangotaro soldiers for a moment, because they had not seen this two at the very beginning of the battle. Albeit if Linton was to be added, that would make it three, as they had not seen him too.However, one thing became as clear as a crystal to the soldiers; these two were definitely the leaders of this W-5 troops expedition."You pissants have two options right in front of you, and you had better choose out of these!" Du Chang spoke, as he folded his arms like he had the whole time in the world to mess around."I don't like where this is going." Shinsui stated inwardly, as he stared at the younger brother. This didn't go unnoticed by the younger brother though, as he glared back hard at Shinsui."Shessh! If only looks could kill." Shinsui pursed his lips as he spoke inwardly."You either continue the fight with us, and all of you get to die more or less in a flash. Or you surrender, and we still get to wipe the floor with each o

    The generals and higher tiered soldiers (1-15) had to have a meeting that was quite quick and impromptu, due to the current situation of the country.The meeting got off to a start, with General Minamino stating quite a few outlines of the problems the country was having, further explaining to everyone there and then.It was then the others except from the head general who was already aware of the fact, knew that Joe was now on the country's Bounty's list, and was second to only one person who had been declared wanted years ago."What the hell?! This boy is already the second most wanted person of all time in the country." Hinata thought. "Let me see....... What?!" She screamed internally as she stared at his insane bounty numbers.1,200,620,521,000 was the number she had seen, and she was sure if any liquid was in her mouth right now, it would have jumped out of her mouth on seeing the number."That kid with a very calm and innocent look!" Hinata almost gulped as she wondered, before

    "I've only got fifteen minutes...." Denki deliberated inwardly. "It seems like I would soon lose my consciousness also however, in that same fifteen minutes, I could destroy the whole of this rotten clan." His aura blew even fiercer than before, turning everything it touched to nothing.He had restricted it earlier, to avoid killing the people and injuring Jack - his best friend.Albeit on second thoughts, he had decided that this was the perfect chance to end it all. And he was pretty sure that Jack would find his way out if things got worse anyways.Denki's whole body now looked like it had been burnt, his trousers were still intact even though it was ragged, but his shirt had already been burnt. His dark and red face was full of cracks, while the whole city's atmosphere changed and blended into dark red."The steam and pressure he's giving off is insane!" Jack mused, while he used one of his arms to block his face, thereby warding off the invisible force that was pushing him backwa

    > "I presume you all don't need any further explanations on the current situation." A projection went off, as an individual whose plum eyes shimmered in a dark room uttered. His domineering presence was enough to make any layman to piss in his or her pants. But was this abode of normal humans? No it wasn't; this was the base of the soul heaters. "Yes sir!!!" With their arms behind their backs, his subordinates echoed more or less in unison. "Good! However, we are still going to lay low for the time being, while we keep our eyes peeled of course. Until we get more information from the king or the army....." As Jinoshi continued to explain a few things here and there, some of his underlings couldn't help but wonder. "Does he have to be so intimidating? We already know that he is the strongest here." A lanky male who seemed to look like the weakest in whole room pondered. He was swarthy in complexion, alongside a long fringed brown hair that suited his he

    They searched the area meticulously, but there were no signs of struggle, no footprints, and no clues beyond the strange symbols Binary had found. It was as if William had been plucked from the battlefield by an unseen force.As the sun began to set, they decided to set up camp nearby. They needed rest and a chance to regroup before continuing their search. But Fushi’s mind refused to settle. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something—or someone—was watching them.*_*The team approached a hidden lair on the outskirts of Sangotaro, their footsteps soundless against the forest floor. They had followed every clue, traced every lingering trail of magic and whispers across enemy territories, and now, after months of relentless searching, they were finally here.The lair stood half-buried within a hill, camouflaged by creeping vines and ancient stone. A dull hum of power radiated from within, as if the walls themselves pulsed with restraine

  • Chapter 119 (Chaos)

    A full year had passed since the infamous battle with Joe, and though the Sangotaro forces had emerged victorious, peace was still a fleeting illusion. Tensions simmered just beneath the surface of diplomacy. Joe and Laina had been dispatched to a neutral territory, Norlund, a nation within the W-5 alliance that still maintained treaty talks with Sangotaro. While they served as emissaries, the rest of the W-5 alliance grew more hostile, viewing Sangotaro’s growing influence as a threat. Meanwhile, Sangotaro’s generals, eager to prevent any coalition from fully forming, launched a series of covert attacks across the W-5 nations. Troops were sent on sabotage missions, engaging in brutal skirmishes that saw both modern weapons and supernatural powers clash on the battlefield. Soldiers armed with rifles and grenades fought alongside those who wielded abilities capable of bending reality itself. Flames and bullets filled the air, explosions rocked cities, and the skies darkened with smok

  • Chapter 118 (Fate)

    The towering gates of the Sangotaro army base loomed ahead as Fushi and Arianne made their way back. The journey had been quiet, both of them lost in their own thoughts. Fushi was unsure how his father, General Hiroshi, and the head of the army, General Minamino, would react to his plea on Arianne’s behalf. She had been an enemy not too long ago, and bringing her back into the fold of the Sangotaro forces was a gamble. As they approached the main hall, Fushi steeled himself. Arianne, beside him, had her face set in determined resolve, though a flicker of anxiety remained in her eyes. Inside the hall, General Hiroshi and General Minamino stood conversing in low tones, with General Nazumoto leaning casually against a nearby wall. Fushi could feel his heart beating in his chest, each step toward them heavier than the last. “Father,” Fushi started, bowing his head in respect, “I come with a request.” Hiroshi, his sharp eyes focused on his son, raised an eyebrow. “What is it, Fushi?” F

    Fushi drifted in the depths of unconsciousness, his body still and unmoving, yet his mind was far from at peace. A voice echoed in the void, a cold, sinister whisper that sliced through the darkness like a blade.“Coward,” the voice sneered. “Why don’t you just sleep forever? You’re nothing but a failure.”Fushi, though disoriented, tried to respond. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice a shaky echo in the empty space around him.The answer came quickly, almost mockingly. “I am your conscience, the part of you that will soon take over. You’re weak, and I’m tired of waiting. Soon, this body will be mine.”Suddenly, Fushi was no longer floating in the darkness. His vision shifted, and he found himself standing in what seemed like his own sea of consciousness. The sky above was a void, starless and black, with only faint streaks of red lightning breaking through the oppressive gloom. The ground beneath his feet was cold and damp, littered wit

  • Chapter 116 (The Beginning of the End)

    The news of Joe’s defeat spread like wildfire across Sangotaro. Whispers filled the air like a relentless storm, carrying both shock and relief. Joe, the once-feared leader of the Nefarious Team, had been brought down. His defeat was a major victory for the Sangotaro armed forces, but not all was well. The sudden disappearance of William, added a shadow of concern that no one could shake off. The army felt it deeply—a lingering unease, like the calm before another storm.As the Sangotaro forces began to return to base, their footsteps heavy with the weight of the war, the scene was a grim reminder of what battles leave behind. Death, injuries, and the bittersweet taste of victory. Soldiers limped back, their faces etched with pain and loss. The victory over Joe’s forces didn’t erase the scars left behind. The Limo clan, once on the brink of chaos, was now back in check. A new leader was appointed to replace the fallen, and the clan slowly returned to its former st

    Joe lay on the ground, his body broken and bloodied, the spear wound in his chest leaking the last of his strength. His cosmic aura had long since faded, leaving him looking small and fragile against the towering forms of General Hiroshi and General Nazumoto. His breathing was ragged, each gasp seeming to pull him closer to the edge of death.Yet, even in his defeated state, his eyes burned with a mix of fury and disbelief as he gazed up at Kenji, his once trusted friend who now stood over him, the wooden spear still dripping with Joe’s dark blood.“Why, Kenji?” Joe rasped, his voice a mere whisper of the thunderous power it once held. “Why would you betray us? Betray me?”Kenji’s purple eyes flickered with an emotion Joe couldn’t quite place. Sorrow? Regret? Whatever it was, it didn’t change the fact that the man who had stood by his side through countless battles was now the one to bring him down. Kenji knelt beside him, his expression calm but filled with a deep weariness. “I saw

    The air grew thick with tension as Joe faced the two generals—Nazumoto, a figure wreathed in mist, and Hiroshi, with his steely eyes and unyielding gun. The battlefield felt small beneath the enormity of their powers. Dust and debris scattered with every impact, and the ground beneath them quivered as though terrified of what was to come.Nazumoto’s mist swirled around Joe, obscuring his vision, but Joe’s eyes never wavered. He could feel Nazumoto’s presence, the way the air shifted when the general moved. Without warning, a fist as large as a boulder slammed into Joe’s side, sending him skidding across the ground, his boots tearing through the earth like a plow through soil. Joe gritted his teeth, twisting his body mid-slide to brace himself for the next blow.Nazumoto appeared from the fog again, his fists hammering down like thunder. Joe barely had time to dodge, each punch creating shockwaves that shattered the rocks beneath him. He swung back, his ow

    A deep, unsettling hum reverberated through the battlefield as the blue, maze-like borders began to form around Joe’s feet, glowing with unnatural light. The lines traced the air around him, like cracks spreading across the very fabric of reality. The energy swirling around him intensified, a dark storm brewing in the heart of Joe’s aura. His eyes glowed with a malevolent gleam as he locked onto his two adversaries—General Hiroshi and General Nazumoto.The two generals stood their ground, their expressions hardened, but even they could feel the oppressive weight of Joe's power pressing down on them. It was like standing on the edge of an abyss, staring into the unknown depths.Joe’s voice was a cold whisper, barely audible but filled with malice. “You think you’re ready for me? Let’s see how long you can last.”Nazumoto was the first to move. His massive frame suddenly blurred as a thick mist began to rise around him, obscuring his form in a shroud of gray fog. The mist curled and t

    Clark’s face was tight with worry as he paced back and forth, his fists clenched in frustration. The weight of the situation was suffocating, and he couldn't shake the image of Fushi being dragged away. He needed answers, and fast.“You said they took him?” Leonard Iris asked, her voice measured, though there was a sharp edge to her words. She stood with her arms crossed, watching Clark intently.Clark nodded, his voice strained as he explained, “They took him, Leonard. Fushi is gone, and I don’t know where they’ve taken him.” He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. “How bad is it, Leonard? Tell me straight.”Leonard sighed, her eyes darkening. "It’s bad, Clark. Not as bad as it could be, but bad enough. We’ve got most places under control. The soldiers Joe’s been funding with W-5 money? Defeated. The Limo clan? They’re neutralized. But Joe and the rest of his nefarious crew are still out there. And they’re not going to go down easily.”Before Clark could respond, a brillia
