Subsequently, Ethan plummeted to the ground like a meteor. Oddly enough, the impact didn't hurt as much as he'd anticipated—just a slight sting. Why could that be? Now was not the time for such musings; he needed to focus on escape. Gritting his teeth, he staggered to his feet. Ten meters away, a patch of space crackled with electrical energy, suggesting a gateway to another dimension. Could he forever elude Domi by crossing it?"So, you're still alive? Seems I underestimated you. Destroyers of universes aren't easy to deal with, it appears."With newfound vigor, Ethan sprinted toward the electrically charged spatial rift, shouting as he ran,"I didn't do it! If what you say is true, my body would have undergone transformation long ago. I used myself as a test subject! I developed that drug to help people, not to destroy anyone. Why would I murder? Why are you framing me?"As Ethan dashed through the barrier, his arm began to fade. Was he about to traverse into another realm? Hubert,
In the name of love, Hubert was willing to bend time itself, traveling two thousand years into the future where his zombie love would once more materialize. Utilizing his Superpower, he reluctantly altered the memories of all members of the Wang family; he yearned to be Theodore's "older brother" and to care for him with unerring devotion. Yet Hubert's plan backfired. While he succeeded in implanting the false memory of an additional son into the Wang family, his energy depleted and was sealed away. His physical form also shrank to match his diminished energy reserves, and he lost his prior memories, becoming an actual child.Hubert had gone, and Domi couldn't bear to let go. Previously wounded by Hubert, Domi lacked the energy to time-travel in bodily form. He could only use his consciousness to control Jacob, and in the process, trigger the dormant Superpower within Hubert. Since Hubert had died in the past, only thus could he time-travel as he did, and Domi was searching for a way
Domi stared intently at Hubert, who wouldn't meet his eyes but looked idly toward the city center of S. Gritting his teeth, Domi shouted, unable to bear losing him:"You'll never be able to save him! You know his existence is finite; why are you being so stubborn? Come back to me, Ethan!""Ethan is dead. I am no longer that timid professor or doctor. I owe you for the time you protected me, Dominic Henry, but don't cross my boundaries."Though Hubert didn't finish his sentence, Domi understood his unspoken message. Even with his current abilities, Hubert was no match for him; however, Hubert's true strength in the original world dwarfed Domi's. Hubert spoke as he did, perhaps, because he knew Domi would never harm him. Domi also knew that he would never harm Hubert, allowing him to tolerate such impertinence.Now that Hubert had employed time-space teleportation to bring Domi's body here, he understood that Hubert's concession was half warning, half request. This made Domi even more i
"His name was... was... I can't recall.""You can't remember because all data about that ancestor, you won't find it lodged in your memory. Hubert had tampered with the memories of the entire Wang lineage.""How could you possibly know that?"Distracting himself from ruminating on the ancestor's name, Canis inquired of Lancelot how he came by such knowledge. Without hesitation, Lancelot responded:"We share a bond of life's pact. It’s only natural that I know."Dominic Henry suddenly uttered a disdainful "Hmph." casting a side-eye at Lancelot, dripping with age-old enmity. Lancelot was unfazed, his brows arched provocatively at Dominic, yet tranquility prevailed. Their focus turned to the research area in search of Hubert. Lancelot then narrated the trials and tribulations Hubert endured since 2015, up to the apocalyptic era of 2060, not sparing the story of Raymond's ominous birth. He then paused to direct a query at Dominic:"From my understanding, neither Hubert nor you had offspri
"In this reincarnation." Lancelot continued: "no matter how dire the circumstances, even if he remains a threat to humanity, I will do everything in my power to aid Hubert. I know the journey might not lead to a perfect end, but if it's what Hubert desires, not only will I, but many will stand by his side."A pause ensued, during which Lancelot pondered. He never imagined that Canis had such a gentle side to him, especially after working side by side for three years. Lancelot remarked slowly: "I never thought you could be so tender."As the words left Lancelot's lips, Canis abruptly met his gaze. The intensity of the look made Lancelot blush. Never before had he been so vulnerable, and Canis was the first to see him this way. Canis was the only one who had ever truly known him. Even though Lancelot's memories were a blur, every gaze from Canis left him breathless. Lancelot hesitated and asked: "Why are you looking at me like that?""Would it be alright if I were gentle with you too, i
Mental threads began to weave, puncturing through the forbidding wall that stood between them, each filament slowly feeling the calming breath of Hubert. This mere sensation was enough to set Raymond's heart at ease. But to his astonishment, from Hubert's end, it felt as though an overpowering force tried to drain Raymond's energy, as if intending to draw out his very soul. What on earth was manipulating the scene from the other side? Could it endanger the one he loved? Yet, basing on Hubert's tranquil breathing, he could ascertain that the boy was fine, showing no signs of being in peril or under duress. But why, then, all of this?Lost in his nebulous thoughts, a surge of potent energy enveloped him. This energy was a concoction from various elements: metal, water, ice, and myriad others. Raymond distinctly felt Hubert's fluctuating aura within, these energies wrapping around him, intending to pull him over. With his robust Superpower, Raymond defied, shattering the chains.He disce
In comparison to before, Hubert cherished the present Raymond even more. Now he knew love, knew how to kiss, how to make love. He also whispered sweet nothings that warmed Hubert's heart. Despite the passage of countless years, Raymond remained the brilliant beacon in Hubert's heart, as well as his greatest vulnerability.Hubert clenched his fist, realizing he needed to cultivate faster, to swiftly recover his past energy. Only then could he cleanse the dark energy enveloping Raymond and bring him back. Hubert instructed,"Get the car ready. I wish to journey to the energy source.""The energy source? You mean where the meteor fell?""Exactly." Hubert confirmed resolutely. Before Raymond could act recklessly, before he could ascend to level 6 quota peak, Hubert must intervene. Domi roared,"Have you gone mad? Why would you entertain such a madcap idea? I told you, you'll never save 0306. Why won't you believe me? Ethan... Are you mad enough now?"Hubert didn’t respond. Mad? He had bee
At that moment, Minister Wang was in his chamber, with Canis standing close by, whispering something to him. Upon Hubert's entrance, a peculiar expression painted Minister Wang's visage, suggesting the topic of their conversation indeed involved him. Canis spoke first:"Have you finished your tasks over there?"Hubert merely nodded in response. He gazed at Minister Wang, articulating with a heavy heart:"Father, surely you have heard of the events that transpired. I sincerely apologize for altering everyone's memories. But it was for Raymond that I had no other choice."Minister Wang's cold, penetrating stare met Hubert's. Their prior relationship wasn't that of warm fatherly affection. The Minister had always been kind to Hubert, primarily out of a sense of guilt. Thus, even if Hubert's demeanor turned frosty, the Minister didn't feel any more estranged.However, one cannot deny that Hubert was a child he had watched grow every day; claiming he harbored no affection would be a falseh
