LOGINLeah's face showed a flash of unwillingness. She did not want to die here.But it was hopeless. She had already used up her final ability—a burst-type skill. Now, her power was completely drained, her energy nearing exhaustion. There was nothing left she could do.So be it.She stopped struggling and closed her eyes, waiting for death.But… why hadn't that sea lion bitten her yet? Was it going to toy with her first?She gritted her teeth and forced herself to fight one last time.Opening her eyes again, she saw someone."Gray!"She called out in shock and joy.But underwater, the sound never left her own ears.When she turned around again, the sea lion was gone.If it weren't for the fact that it had chased her all the way here, she would have thought everything earlier had been nothing but a hallucination.Ray had saved her.At that moment, her emotions surged beyond description.He had saved her before, but never when things were this desperate. Just moments ago, she ha
Leaving Ezra stranded in Guillory City was, of course, Ray's deliberate doing. There was no malice in it—just a bit of harmless mischief, a way to amuse himself at the captain's expense.After thinking it over, Ray decided not to continue his journey right away. After using his abilities repeatedly, even he felt a trace of fatigue. He would stay in Guillory City for the night and head home tomorrow.So Ray went to look for Principal Rucker.He wanted to see how the school principal had been lately. After all, aside from Travis, Principal Rucker was one of the people he respected most.Men like that might seem foolish, but their character was undeniably noble. Ray couldn't bring himself to be like them—but he respected them all the same.Besides, it's not like he was here thinking about that foreign girl, Leah.…Before long, the three of them arrived at the ice hut.As expected, those who had stayed behind were still there."Principal Rucker!" Ray called out from a distance.
Eliminating humanity might be possible—but blowing up the entire Earth itself?Heh.Putting aside everything else, the energy released from a single eruption of Mount Tiresias was already comparable to the combined power of every nuclear weapon on the planet. And yet… had the Earth actually been destroyed?Watching this terrifying yet magnificent spectacle, Ray couldn't help but sigh.Compared to Kitrinos Mountain, Mount Tiresias was still the "little brother."Scientists said that if Kitrinos Mountain ever erupted, the damage wouldn't be limited to just Caumeria—entire continents would suffer. For hundreds of years, possibly longer, thick volcanic ash could cover the entire planet.That would be a true global extinction event.So Ray wondered: could Kitrinos Mountain be deliberately set off?He felt a flicker of temptation. What if the Caumerians had invented the threat of this supervolcano as a lie to control public perception?The logic would be: "If war breaks out, don't y
"Heh, that's so like you, Ezra." Ray smiled. "Relax. I won't die, and neither will you."Ezra let out a breath of relief, though oddly enough, there was still a trace of regret in his expression.He truly wanted to claim this honor for himself. If he did, it would be an achievement worthy of being listed as a national hero. Future textbooks would surely mention his name.Hazel, on the other hand, was trembling uncontrollably, her eyes filled with despair.Victoria remained calm, instead gazing at Ray with unwavering admiration, utterly infatuated.Two women. Two completely different reactions.Ray tossed out the nuclear warhead. Ezra quickly began the operation, then said, "Alright. Detonation in five minutes."But then, he frowned."There's still one problem. Deploying the warhead is tricky. If we release it too early, the volcanic magma will burn out the detonation system, and it won't explode. But if we release it too late—"He didn't need to finish.If it were too late, t
Not a chance. Hazel was being far too confident—completely overestimating her charm."Ezra, let's go." Ray ignored Hazel and turned to Ezra.Ezra nodded at first, then said, "Launching a nuclear missile requires a very complicated procedure, and authorization is needed. We should go find Mr. Robinson first.""No need."Ray waved his hand."Take me to the nuclear missile silo. I'll take it directly."That wasn't bragging. For him, it really was nothing more than a trivial matter.Ezra froze for a moment. "Alright."He had already decided to go all in. Wiping out Jayzepan—there was no hesitation about that."No! Please—don't!" Hazel continued to plead.But Ray's heart remained as hard as iron. On this matter, he would not show even the slightest mercy. Jayzepan had to disappear from this world.Ezra led Ray to the weapons facility.It was not here in the base, but over fifty kilometers away in a barren mountain region.The nuclear warheads were already on standby.That was
Ray arrived in Osav City.Osav City was also a major city of Jayzepan. It had once been densely populated, and even after the apocalypse, a significant number of survivors remained. With the full-scale evolution triggered by the purple moon, the number of ability users here had actually reached two hundred thousand.Ray began a massacre.In this city, he also encountered three of the "Top Ten National Goddesses."Unfortunately for them, their fate had been miserable. They had become playthings of the strong, passed from one owner to another. By now, they had been thoroughly broken—mentally numb, almost inhuman.Ray naturally had no interest in such "goods." He disposed of them all.After seven days in Osav City, the city was left with almost no survivors.Ray nodded in satisfaction, then took Victoria and Hazel back with him.He activated his spatial domain; carrying two people was effortless.Unlike Victoria, who had chosen submission from the very beginning, Hazel—despite he
Ray shook his head.The defensive side was always at a disadvantage. You could block countless attacks, but the moment one slipped through, you paid a heavy price. The attacker was the opposite—miss as many times as you wanted, as long as one strike landed, it was enough.He felt no sympathy at al
But the moment Lucien charged up to Ray, a violent shudder suddenly rippled through his mind.Danger! Danger! Danger!He roared and stomped down hard. The solid floor tiles shattered under his feet, and both legs sank deep into the ground, forcibly halting his rushing momentum."So you have abili
Seeing this, Molly raised her gun and fired at Jayden.Bang!The bullet shot out. Normally, the human eye couldn't track it—but to everyone's shock, they could see it.It slowed. They could see it decelerate.By the time the bullet reached Jayden's chest, it had come to a complete stop. Frost co
Ray's curiosity was piqued. He asked, "Where did you two come from?"Could Jayden and Eugene be from some organized faction? He was eager to find out.Jayden forced a grim smile. "We came from a neighborhood called Camden. We finished all the food there, and only arrived here two days ago… I've to
