Hubert nodded, and suddenly the earth beneath his feet trembled—nay, it seemed to liquefy into a stream of rushing water, making his head spin. The ambient space also took on a murky, gloomy atmosphere, as if guiding souls toward the embrace of death. Yet, he could still resist the pull, sensing that the energy of this unknown foe was weaker than his own.But who was this person, and what in heavens did they want? He glanced around; others had grown listless, ensnared in their personal illusions or fears."Ethan!"Just then, Domi appeared, flying toward him. Considering how far he had been thrown just moments ago, his speed was astonishing. Thankfully, he too seemed free from the illusion's grasp. Domi abruptly shifted direction, followed by a sharp "thwack." Looking back, Hubert saw Domi had struck Allan, who now lay prostrate on the ground.The nebulous atmosphere immediately dissipated."What just happened?""What's going on?"The others, newly freed from their illusions, converged

Domi, ever the cynic, couldn't resist voicing his mordant opinion. Although he named no one directly, all present could decipher his veiled reference:"Those ensnared by love's web are always thus. Who can truly blame them? One might sacrifice endlessly for another, only to find them entwined with a different soul. Such a realization would break any heart."Both a veiled reference to Enda and a subtle dig at Hubert. Enda wore a face darkened with anger, while Hubert remained nonchalantly provocative."Voluntary sacrifice doesn't entitle you to blame others. Feelings aren't to be distributed on a whim; one must consider if the recipient is deserving.""And what makes one undeserving? To devote oneself fully, endure immeasurable hurt, only to be dismissed as 'undeserving'?""Think what you will. I've no interest in bickering over such trivial matters anymore."Hubert waved his hand dismissively. Every time Domi brought up matters of the heart, it was as if he were stricken with madness,
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 130: Killing The Zombie King?
Hubert waved off the question and countered: "And what about you two? What compels you to penetrate this perilous place?""We've heard that the meteorite crash site harbors an immense source of energy. Harnessing it through focused cultivation would expedite our leveling up—almost doubling the usual rate." came the response.Hubert nodded without speaking, for the information was hardly a revelation to him. Surrounded by hordes of zombies, leveling up was not an insurmountable task. The youthful duo continued:"Surely you must be aware of this? Eliminating him could dismantle the entire zombie network.""Him? Who are you talking about?""Who else but the Zombie King? Slaying him is the ultimate objective, isn't it?"Hubert momentarily looked somber, poised to move toward the duo, but Canis restrained him. With a shake of his head, Canis seemed to caution him against impulsive actions.Hubert was indeed momentarily agitated. The mere thought of Raymond being killed disrupted his equili
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 131: Simultaneous Leveling Up
Jacob responded languidly as he slowly approached Hubert. A brief shudder overcame him as his eyes took in the two zombies reduced to lumps of meat scattered on the ground. Hubert's handiwork was brutal, a far cry from the gentle soul Jacob had once known. Hubert had lived through two apocalypses, trampling over countless zombies.For that reason, he felt nothing toward these grotesque heaps of flesh. But Jacob was different. It wasn't fear he felt but a growing unease. Hubert's fearlessness seemed only to amplify Jacob's own apprehensions, pushing him further away emotionally. A rift was growing between them, one that Jacob despaired of ever bridging.The realization was heartbreaking. Once, Jacob had Hubert within reach, only to deceive him, driving him farther away. Now, with Hubert hailing from two millennia ago, the emotional distance between them stretched even wider. And although Hubert said he still wanted to share sleep, Jacob knew what his actual intentions were.Now, Hubert
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 132: Team Linkage
Nicholas's team could now be categorized as a well-coordinated ensemble, but there exists an insurmountable gulf in power levels between him and the rest, making true harmony elusive. It is an unmistakable Achilles' heel. Hubert initiates his pitch:"Given your level and abilities, you could join a much more potent squad. What do you think?"Before Nicholas could respond, one of his teammates interjects:"Hey! You're trying to poach someone from our team? What gall! Even if you're stronger, you can't just blatantly steal people like that."Although the speaker made a seemingly reasonable point, it was ultimately devoid of meaning. In essence, each Superhuman has the right to choose their own team and, naturally, the right to choose a more powerful one. In this crumbling world of death and decay, outright theft or even the subjugation of a Superhuman is regrettably commonplace. It's a world for the strong; the stronger you are, the more companions you can amass. Hubert, subscribing to
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 133: Combat Alliance
Lost in thought, Hubert was jolted back to reality by Nathan's interjection."What should we do now? Young master Hubert, how shall you sketch our battle plan? Our forces are dreadfully thin."Nathan spoke the truth, a fact well-known to all, but to none more than Hubert himself. He looked out into the distance; the zombie horde was about two kilometers away. With their current pace, they would reach their position in less than five minutes. There was no more time for indecision."Our team comprises only the elite; worry not, for we shall never fall!" Hubert responded to Nathan with absolute conviction. Yet he knew he was mainly reassuring himself. He was powerful, but without Gideon's energy support, he could never fully unleash his potential. He commanded:"Metal and Earth Superhumans, move forward. Create barriers, virtual armor, and manipulate the surrounding terrain to slow down the zombies.""We understand!"No sooner had he finished than a group of over twenty Superhumans advan
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 134: Self-Created Ruthless Technique
What transpired next in the private conversation between Domi and Phelan was known only to them, while Hubert on the other side was still preoccupied with organizing the formation. Zombies were now clearly visible, advancing at an alarming pace that required no clairvoyance to detect. Lancelot eyed the oncoming hordes—now a mere thousand meters away.Since the apocalypse began, he had hunted zombies many times, but never before had he faced such a multitude. A blend of fear and excitement surged within him; the thrill of life-or-death challenge exhilarated him. Though it might be improper to harbor such thoughts, his conquering spirit was irrepressible. He felt an overwhelming urge to charge forward and annihilate the undead masses.Seemingly detecting Lancelot's growing fervor, Hubert warned: "Stick to my directives and act not upon your own impulse. Remember, our lives are interlinked; if you fall, I'll suffer the consequences. Don't be foolish!""I get it, you know I'm quite obedie
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 135: A Different Class
"Stay calm. We need to observe what these zombies will do before we can effectively counter them. Initiating an attack prematurely would surely put us at a disadvantage." he counseled.As if on cue, the lead zombie let out a series of guttural growls. Judging from the energy it emitted, it was a variant with electrical superpowers—its strength was formidable, likely at level 6. The air itself seemed affected by the ominous aura it exuded. Its potency was almost overwhelming.If a regular zombie could cultivate itself to level 6, it was not improbable that Clunky, another player in this high-stakes game, could have reached the level 6 mid-quota. Hubert shook his head, dismissing the thought. Raymond hadn't even reached level 6 quota peak; there was no way Clunky could match him. Thus, Clunky was likely at the very peak of level 6 quota low, while the zombie before them was at its lower end.Based on the zombie's powerful but unstable energy, it could be inferred that it had recently le

But what they hadn't anticipated was the very moment Hubert fell into a state of energy seclusion, disturbances began to ripple outside.The squadron led by Wayne and the wind-aspected Superhuman began to inch their way towards where Hubert sat. Now, with the absorption of the Energy Stone, no protective energy sphere enveloped the scene. Only a few protective mages were there to ensure the upgrade process remained uninterrupted. Everyone understood the dire consequences if the upgrade failed."What do you want?""Isn't it obvious? To abduct the subject and seize the Energy Stone. Right now, you've lost one Superhuman of level 6 quota mid, and your most potent Superhuman is mid-upgrade. How could you possibly fend us off now?""Toby, don't waste words on them. The longer we stall, the more likely Hubert will complete the absorption, leaving us at a disadvantage."Wayne urged, the wind-aspected Superhuman accompanying him was Toby, a man with pure offensive abilities. Their squadron, i
Chapter 156: Domi Sacrifices (End Part I)
He had traversed time four times. The first was to the moment he claimed Hubert from the fragments of time. He tried being more conciliatory, gentler. But he couldn't change his controlling nature, and once again, Hubert slipped away. But one couldn't stay in a timeline more than thrice, so he chose the future where Hubert had traveled. Hubert had failed in his mission to save Raymond, deciding to leap 500 years ahead, and Domi followed suit. In this era, Raymond had lost his memory and Hubert was exploiting it for a happier existence. Unwilling to witness this, Domi returned to the present with a plan to make Hubert end Raymond himself, eliminating him entirely.But the truth unveiled itself in a tale of sorrow, proving his failure, and he had indeed lost Hubert. What's more, he'd forsaken his chance of survival - a misfortune that had not befallen him during his second traverse through time. Perhaps now, Hubert was utterly beyond his grasp; his past, his future, and even the present
Chapter 155: Next Time, Please Save Me (2)
The dark energy within Hubert surged powerfully, overwhelming those around him in no time. This force clearly embodied Raymond’s essence and grew alongside him. The zombie king's energy was not to be trifled with, so Superhumans below level 6 felt dizzy, nauseous, and experienced a pressure akin to diving deep underwater."It's... hard to breathe!""What monstrous energy is this?"They all knew Hubert was a Level 6 Superhuman, but to possess such overwhelming energy was exceedingly rare. Moreover, the kind of energy that could oppress them to the point of feeling as if their lungs were being torn apart could only be that of a zombie's. It was as if they couldn't believe their own thoughts, or more precisely, they were terrified. For a Superhuman to carry zombie energy without being assimilated or controlled was extremely peculiar. And Hubert was that very anomaly!The atmosphere seemed to have stagnated, suffocating not just the Superhumans but Hubert himself. That dark force seemed t
Chapter 154: Next Time, Please Save Me
"If we are to hunt Superhumans together, I must address you properly. Surely, I can't just call you 'this zombie' or 'that zombie,' can I?" But Raymond never responded. Never before had he felt so dismissed, so insulted. Yet, he persisted in his quest for Raymond's name. Until, irked by Clunky's persistence, Raymond finally said: "My surname is Raymond Joshua." "And your first name? Speak it!" "Annoying!" "What?" "I said, 'You're annoying.'" Though meant as a reprimand, Clunky responded: "I am nameless. But if you find me annoying, I shall name myself 'Clunky.' I will take your surname, and serve under you, the true zombie king. What say you?" ... Raymond never replied. Clunky initially thought Raymond would maintain that initial distance, but later, every time Raymond hunted, he would share with him any mutated Water Energy Stones he found. Clunky realized that zombies typically lacked emotional depth, yet as a high-level sentient zombie, his thoughts mirrored that of humans.
Chapter 153: A String Of Reckless Days
If reason failed, then perhaps the heart's tug might prevail. Since their encounter, Clunky had refrained from striking him, showcasing a surprising restraint. Coupled with the fact that Clunky had not lost his rationale, there was hope to sway him. Hubert implored,"Just pretend not to see us, allowing us passage to the asteroid's core. I'll do my utmost to prevent his self-destruction. You can assist with that, can't you?""Do you not comprehend the apocalypse that Raymond's existence might trigger?""I'm well aware." Hubert sighed: "but I wish to save both the world and him."Once more, Clunky lapsed into a contemplative silence. It was a long minute before he said: "Your recklessness astonishes me. Moreover, preventing his self-destruction might be inevitable. He can't explode if he loses his self-awareness. The event is imminent!"Rather than speculation, Clunky’s words felt like a forewarning. As if Raymond's loss of control was a foregone conclusion. Hubert queried,"Do you fat
Chapter 152: Desolate And Difficult
Now, had it not been for Canis with his luminous superpowers, there probably would've been no means of separating Raymond's energy. Cautiously extending his arm, he sensed a familiar energy, through which he could trace the very existence of Raymond. Even more astonishing, he felt as though he could pinpoint Raymond's exact location.Raymond wasn't at the meteorite's core, but he was undoubtedly making his way there. This revelation meant there was no need to waste time seeking him. The very thing demanding his attention now roiled and seethed right before his very eyes.The ominous black pool belonging to Clunky seemed on the verge of erupting, its turmoil growing by the second. Ever since Hubert had siphoned off Raymond's energy, Clunky's own energy began to oscillate wildly. This clearly indicated that he had detected the essence of the Zombie King lingering around.Confusion must have gripped Clunky, for Raymond's scent manifested in two distinct locations: where Raymond truly was
Chapter 151: Arrogance Often Leads To Defeat
If Clunky arrived a tad earlier, Phelan and Allan might have formed an alliance to restrain him, saving them much precious energy. Yet, if his arrival were any more belated, the ice barrier would have been wholly corroded by his sinister liquid. Hubert, gazing as the first shadow struck the ice barrier, realized that had he not been at Superhuman level 6 quota peak, that wall would have fallen long ago.Lost in contemplation, Hubert was startled by Stella’s sudden voice:"Hubert, have you forgotten about me? I am, after all, a pure Ice Superhuman.""And I am as well. Alone, your showy moves are more than enough."Lucia chimed in, her laughter tinged with a hint of mockery. Stella, with a hint of drama, channeled her Superpower, reinforcing Hubert's ice barrier. Almost as if dancing in tandem, Lucia followed suit. Thus, three magnificent ice walls, spanning over fifty meters, stood in unison, ensuring Clunky's water shadows could not break through. This feat could potentially buy them
Chapter 150: Seducing Clunky Plan
Though he'd never directly clashed with him, Caradoc knew that Clunky was no pushover. His first encounter with the zombie was when Clunky was merely a level-5, losing a fight against Lancelot. But things had changed; the zombie had gained immense strength over the months, and even Caradoc, who had never fought him, felt a sense of dread.Hubert, too, ceased arguing at this moment. He walked closer to the black "river." stopping a mere five meters away. The heat emanating from it was palpable. Compared to Nathan's or Jacob's fire, Lancelot's was less hot, but it should not be underestimated.When he was merely at level 5, he could transform a high-ranking Superhuman into a mere skeleton in the blink of an eye. Now, the magnitude of his powers is beyond anyone's comprehension.Whoosh!Hubert unleashed a chunk of metal larger than a human head, hurling it into the heart of the river. The metallic mass immediately emitted a sound akin to boiling oil, followed by effervescent bubbles befo
Chapter 149: Threatening
Winston grabbed Hubert's hand and gave it two shakes, demanding his attention. The gesture did make Hubert shift his focus. He glanced at Winston, then back at the ringleader, and finally toward the heart of S city. He spoke deliberately:"Let's put today's matter aside for now. But don't assume that anyone who seeks to hunt the zombie king will be safe."Hubert withdrew his Superpower energy, his fists clenched as though prepared to decapitate anyone at a moment's notice. The ringleader, noticing Hubert's newfound composure, let out a sigh of relief, yet dared to probe further:"Why do you protect the zombie king? His existence threatens the lives of all humanity.""Indeed..."Hubert merely nodded in agreement, signaling his understanding that Raymond's existence was a peril to humankind. Yet, he voiced no further thoughts. More than anyone else, he understood the peril that Raymond's very being brought about, the specter of death that trailed behind him. But the very thought of witn
