Hubert's voice rose, his query dripping with incredulity. For a brief moment, Jacob found himself lost for words, caught in the realization of his stance. But as tensions grew, Winston stepped in, attempting to diffuse the situation:"What Jacob mentions isn't entirely unfounded. The young master Canis has, indeed, been unreasonably oppressive towards Lancelot. The form of this oppression being tied to their professional obligations. Lancelot, ever so impulsive by nature, has often retaliated. This only fuelled Canis' desire to report and penalize him further. While both hold equivalent military ranks, young master Canis’ achievements are undeniably superior, intensifying Lancelot's resentment. This cycle has persisted for years."The more Hubert heard, the harder he found it to believe that Canis could stoop so low. Yet, from what he had observed, the animosity between Canis and Lancelot was certainly not one-sided. Was Canis' conduct towards someone he held affection for not somewha
This revelation was beyond Hubert's expectations. He hadn't considered that Domi's person, if not ordinary, was immensely powerful and not just an average Superhuman. To resurrect, there were only two ways: either a seventh-level Superhuman or a life-element Superhuman. No other methods would work, not even initiating a life-contract bond. Why couldn't a life-contract bond be utilized?From the perspective that Domi's person to save was a powerful Superhuman, if they haven't reached level seven and one tried to save them, it would be like destroying one's own energy source.Considering the viewpoint where Domi's individual is just ordinary - normal people can't form a life-contract with Superhumans. Such contracts need energy to sustain, so Superhumans with sufficient energy are necessary. Yet, a Superhuman can't form this bond with an ordinary person either. Ordinary humans don’t have the capacity to store such energy, and their bodies can't harness the Superpower energy.Then why ca
As he spoke, Hubert darted out, with Winston in quick pursuit and Jacob trailing behind. As they reached the end of the research wing's corridor, they encountered Minister Wang and Gideon, emerging from the prisoner's chamber, followed by Caradoc and other Superhumans. Minister Wang inquired:"Did Domi cause any trouble for you?""None."Hubert promptly responded. Gideon then added with a sarcastic edge:"First, jealous to the point of seeing red. Now, even imprisoning one's own kin. Truly unexpected!""What did you say?"Jacob's eyes widened at Gideon, who unflinchingly met his gaze. Just as a verbal standoff seemed imminent, a voice echoed behind Hubert:"Hubert! I heard the alarm. What's happening?"As Canis emerged from the hallway of the rest room, close on his heels were Lancelot, Nathan, and Phelan. Hubert was on the verge of responding when suddenly, Lancelot dashed forward, taking refuge behind the boy, his eyes, wide and narrowed, glaring defiantly at Canis. What on earth ha
"How many are in that brigade?"Jacob's inquiry snapped Canis out of his deep reflection. Without delay, Alberto responded:"Approximately a thousand. Moreover...""What is it?"Alberto hesitated briefly before revealing:"It seems... it seems they have Superhumans of level 6.""What? Level 6?""Yes. Superhuman level 6?"Each individual standing there was taken aback as they heard Alberto's words. Not just surprise, but pure dread encapsulated their hearts. Hubert, above all, was the most shocked. How could that person have cultivated his skills at such an alarming rate? Surely, if someone advanced at this pace, Domi should have been informed sooner. Would not it have been beneficial for him to nurture this individual and gain a Level 7 Superhuman sooner? Or was it that the latter couldn't reach the seventh level?The only conceivable explanation Hubert could muster was this. But before he could contemplate further, Alberto interjected,"What should we do now? The place you instructed
The third psychic Superpower category is 'Infiltration'. As the name suggests, those endowed with this power can delve into the thoughts of other Superhumans or zombies. They can then dissect, modify past memories, and skew thoughts away from reality. This would lead to a state similar to Enda's present condition. He's under the stronghold of a dominant psychic force. If this control escalates to "brainwashing", Enda's situation could become perilous.The final classification of psychic Superpower is 'Hypnosis'. This skill mirrors 'Infiltration' but allows the user to have complete control over another Superhuman or zombie according to their whims.This mesmerizing power could make the subject a mere "puppet." obedient to the wielder's every whim. Perhaps even Enda is ensnared by this mental superpower, but only through closer observation can a definitive conclusion be drawn.“Enda's situation seems rather grim.”Hubert relayed to Gideon, and even from a distance, Gideon could hear hi
Ancient tomes had inscribed that the last ten bolts would target the soul and subconscious of the one leveling up, causing immeasurable distress to both the physical form and the energy reservoir. Hence, only two Superhumans had ever progressed to level 6. A majority, despite being peak level 5 Superhumans, were obliterated by the heavenly bolts.This obliteration wasn't restricted to their physical form; their energy sources and Energy Stones were decimated as well. Such devastation meant that the affected Superhuman, if not deceased, would be left incapacitated. Worse yet, they might vanish from the universe, never to return.Hubert tilted his head upwards, his gaze lost in the heavens above. The tempestuous winds now came in torrents, each gust reminiscent of the majestic serpents known as dragons. The internal workings of Domi's calculations assured him of survival, yet a part of him questioned: how long could he hold out against such might?Hubert would not, could not, permit him
Allan had confined Enda for ten agonizing days, subjecting her to repeated assaults, beatings, humiliations, and treating her no better than a kicked dog. With the added crime of cold-blooded murder, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.Now, understanding from the outside that the apocalypse had occurred and no one could control him, he felt an unsettling ease in his demeanor."Why such coldness? To see an old friend and not offer a single greeting? Quite unlike your younger brother." Allan remarked.As he spoke, Allan’s hand swiftly moved to Enda’s face, turning it to meet his, and bit down on his lips. Almost immediately, Caradoc lunged forward, slamming a shoulder into Allan’s midriff."What do you think you’re doing? Keep your hands off what’s mine!" he growled."Choke...!"Pulling away from their intimate connection with Enda, Allan chuckled darkly. With an unexpected swiftness, he seized Caradoc’s hair, hurling him meters away and straight into a fence lined with aromatic tree
With heartache evident in his grip, Winston clasped his hands near his heart in a gesture of desperate prayer. His sole hope was for his Hubert, his dearest confidante in this vast world, a companion so dear that his love for him transcended life and death. Hubert, always playful, always teasing, had ensnared Winston's heart in such an intoxicating manner. In him, Winston found both insecurity and confidence, all stemming from the profound love he felt for the young man.Outside, chaos reigned, yet within that spinning contraption, Hubert was ensconced in serenity. Severed from the outside world, he was adrift in the vast unknown. By the time he regained consciousness, he found himself in a place beyond his wildest imagination.The year was 2060. The inaugural year of the emergence of a second sun, causing Earth's temperatures to soar, the lands to parch, and this intensity correlated directly with the magnification of the second sun. Two suns, shining brilliantly, casting their gleam
