LOGINThe woman "extracted" from every corpse, pulling a drop of pale golden liquid from each—forty-three in total. She drank half immediately, tucking the rest away for later.She was about to leave.'Strike now? Follow her to her lair and then act?' Ray considered it briefly—and made his decision.'Strike now!'To an ability user, the lair itself didn't matter that much. Knowing its location was one thing; taking action was another."Wait here for me," Ray told Cassandra.A flash of spatial swap.Whoosh. He closed the distance rapidly.Five hundred meters… three hundred… one hundred!The woman suddenly twisted, turning to face him.Though she wore goggles that partially obscured her features, Ray's spatial perception revealed everything. Her expression screamed shock, as if to say, 'How is this person here?!'Ray slowed to a walk, stopping ten meters in front of her, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Looks like Agatha told you what I look like.""Or maybe… you've seen me your
The strange entities inside her materialized within the humanoid black mist.What kind of ability was this? How could it be so bizarre?Ray locked onto one of the men about to be struck. As the black mist passed through him, his cells instantly lost vitality, and he died immediately.A killing machine.In his mind, Ray marveled. This woman's power was truly terrifying.Meanwhile, the humanoid black mist continued its massacre. No attack could harm it, no defense could stop its advance or penetration. How could anyone fight something like this?"Attack the woman!""Exactly. Kill her, and this ability will definitely fail.""Kill her!"The remaining thirty or so men charged at her together. Their powers varied widely, and three were physical-type ability users, sprinting at speeds far exceeding a hundred-meter champion from three different directions. The challenge of stopping them was enormous.Yet, the woman didn't even flinch. She stood completely still, with no intention of
Strange… and utterly terrifying.This masked woman wasn't Agatha—but she had to be her sister, a twin even. No one could look this identical otherwise.Clone? Nah, forget that.Agatha clearly had a twin, so why weren't they together? Could this mysterious figure be the sniper everyone had whispered about? But that sniper had always seemed like a singular force—not a group.So why now? Had the sisters turned against each other? Or was there some deeper plot at play?Ray rubbed Cassandra's shoulder for comfort. Yep, stress relief.Cassandra was speechless. She gave him a clear-eyed glare.'Forget it. Stop overthinking. Let's take her down!' Ray thought.But he didn't act immediately. Instead, he watched. What was this woman doing here? Could she really be Agatha's long-time rival? Yet, she wasn't a group—just one person.The mysterious woman stepped in front of the forty-three supply collectors.At first, the group stiffened at the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest. But w
"Get away!" Alexander realized what this surge of desire was. After absorbing so much energy, he couldn't possibly misunderstand it."What's wrong with you?" Agatha feigned ignorance, reaching out to touch his forehead. "Wow… your face is burning hot!"Alexander had been holding himself together, but a woman this alluring leaning in so close shattered his control completely. In an instant, he pulled Agatha tightly into his arms."What are you doing?"Let go!"No!"Agatha's lips formed words of refusal, but her body gave no resistance. Naturally, the situation quickly spiraled out of control.…Another night passed.Ray set out early, bringing Cassandra with him. Soon, they were a kilometer away from New World.Although New World was built underground in an open area, the surroundings weren't empty. Buildings of all heights dotted the landscape. Ray chose a low one—a simple single-story building—settling inside with the young policewoman in his arms. As they whispered and teas
Under Ray's enhanced perception, every detail of the buns became crystal clear.Ray could only conclude: plain white buns, no filling whatsoever.But what if there was something mixed into the flour? He couldn't tell. Any subtle ingredient hidden in the dough would be completely undetectable to him.He turned his attention to the fifty participants.They lifted the buns high in apparent gratitude before taking a bite, their expressions charged with excitement.Within ten minutes, each one began trembling violently, collapsing to the ground. Yet, those around them showed no concern; instead, they raised their arms and cheered.Ray "saw" it all—the energy seeds forming in their minds, coalescing effortlessly, needing no external aid. Each seed matured perfectly, then shattered, spreading energy throughout their bodies.It was as easy as drinking a glass of water.In moments, all fifty were on their feet, displaying their new powers. Fire, ice arrows, magnetic control… the hive er
"Mm-hmm!" All sixteen of them nodded in agreement.Some people just radiate goodness in a way that is impossible not to respect.But Ray, having endured the betrayal of his ex-wife and her entire family, trusted no one. He approached everything with suspicion.Could such people really exist?He remained skeptical. Alexander's story sounded too flawless—there had to be inconsistencies, he thought, even if he hadn't yet discovered them.Leading Honey, he left the group behind.There was still plenty of time before nightfall. He glanced at the alluring, familiar woman beside him and chuckled. "Teacher, let's play a game.""No way!" Honey refused immediately.The moment this man called himself "teacher," she knew his intentions were far from proper.At home, it wouldn't matter—he could try whatever he wanted. But here? This was someone else's territory, a place crowded with who-knows-how-many people. If she lost control and screamed, "Where's my husband?!" she'd never live it down
'No problem. I'll ram it,' Ray thought.He floored the accelerator, and the G-Class surged forward.With a reinforced crash bar, the highest‑grade kind, plus a modified engine, smashing through a single barrier pole was nothing. Hell, it could've shoved a wall down if it had to.He made no effort
With a single push, Ray opened the security door. For safety's sake, he opened the spatial portal in front of him.One could never be too careful."Don't open it!" a human voice shouted from inside.Huh? What—?Ray froze. He'd opened the spatial portal purely out of caution, never expecting ther
The other women all nodded. Suzanne's analysis made perfect sense.Relying on the sturdiness of his villa and his toy gun, Ray could attack when he wished and retreat when needed. But in their hands were real firearms.Heh. Now that they had arrived, Ray's days as this backwater tyrant were number
Where were they?The girls ahead—where had they gone?Not a single shadow remained."Liz! Kristen!" Ida shouted, her voice trembling despite herself.Her call made Suzanne and the other woman halt. They swept their flashlights across the dark interior, searching frantically for the five missing
