LOGIN"Damn you, Travis… you brought this on yourself!" Emmett gritted his teeth, resolve hardening. "If Rupert can cooperate with them, why can't I? If I secretly ally with him, maybe we can turn the tables and devour them in the end."His eyes lit up.Negotiating with a tiger was dangerous, but he wasn't some helpless prey. Maybe not a lion, but at least a leopard.Suddenly—A sharp sense of danger surged through him.His instincts reacted faster than his thoughts. His body dissolved into a gust of wind.Then, in the next instant, he reformed."Who's there?!" he roared.No one appeared.Instead, an overwhelming force shoved him in a certain direction—and that direction only intensified his sense of danger.He immediately transformed into wind again, scattering in all directions. This time, he didn't bother reforming into a human shape; instead, he activated another ability.Countless faint currents of air began to circulate within a five-hundred-meter radius. Using them as exten
Emmett's expression darkened with fury."Travis, what the hell? She's my cousin's wife—am I not allowed to take her?" he said coldly. "Or are you looking to be surrounded and attacked by the three major factions?"The threat was unmistakable.Refuse him today, and Travis would be facing pressure from three sides—the Jayzepanese, Rupert, and Emmett himself.Even with that mysterious and powerful ally, could he really withstand the addition of another major force?So what would it be? Protect one woman—or protect the entire settlement?Travis's gaze turned icy.Was there truly nothing in Emmett's mind but self-interest? Not even a shred of national or moral conviction? Internal power struggles were one thing—you could fight each other to the bitter end—but when facing a foreign enemy, shouldn't unity come first?Did Emmett really think he could coexist with the enemy?They might not yet have the strength to sweep through Guillory City, but the moment they broke the balance and o
The leaders of the other three major factions in Guillory City had come over for a meeting. Ray technically had the right to attend, but meetings were the one thing he hated most.Back when he had a job, he had no choice. But now? Why bother?If he wanted to listen, all he had to do was sweep the area with his spatial perception.That was exactly why he had no interest in building his own faction. Too much trouble.Instead of scheming and probing each other, he'd rather spend his time teasing Paige.Still, he was a little distracted. Part of his attention was focused elsewhere, "watching" Travis's negotiations with the three leaders.All three were extremely curious about the powerful figure who had suddenly appeared on Travis's side. They kept pressing him for an introduction, but Travis firmly refused. Even so, they didn't let it go, pestering him endlessly.Ray observed them one by one.Emmett of Bunker's End—he had met him before. A wind-type ability user.The leader of Gr
Ray hadn't withdrawn Exile—he wasn't even in the same spatial dimension. No matter how strange Kirk's curse was, it simply couldn't affect him. Not in the slightest.At that moment, the five captains charged in together. Clearly, they intended to pool their strength to eliminate Ray first, then turn and assist Gunnr in finishing off Travis. The previous encounters had all taken place at night, limiting their full strength. But now, in broad daylight, everything was different.Ray remained calm and composed.The only real difference between day and night was the fog. But in truth, Gunnr's side had a wind-type ability user who could disperse the mist during battle. So in practical terms, there wasn't much difference at all.The only change was that Gunnr had been swapped out for Rupert.Both were beast-types—though Rupert couldn't fly.Ray mocked Rupert inwardly as he launched a full counterattack.The spatial portal opened, and a torrent of attacks poured out.Some were ability-
Travis caught the straw doll. With a surge of flames, it was instantly reduced to ashes. Just like that, the restraint on him vanished completely."Die!" Travis roared, charging straight at the enemy again.Even at a moment like this, he vented his fury on the invaders first.With an external enemy present, dealing with traitors could wait.Though Gunnr burned with rage, a sense of near-victory slipping through his fingers, he still entered his beast form and moved to intercept Travis.Both were leaders of major factions, their strength terrifyingly high. Punch met blade, flames roared skyward, and arcs of sword energy crackled like lightning as they clashed fiercely.In terms of raw power, Gunnr held a slight edge—he had clearly absorbed more abilities. But Travis fought with blazing determination, his fury pushing him beyond his limits, even beginning to suppress his opponent.For now, neither could gain the upper hand.Ray smiled faintly.Although the enemy had gained Ruper
"Here!" Jaime answered loudly, striding quickly to Travis's side.Travis turned his head and lowered his voice, speaking rapidly. "Their target is my ability—they must not get it! I'm being controlled by a curse user. There's no way I can escape. Jaime, I'm ordering you—when the time comes, I'll kill myself. You absorb my ability immediately and leave."Did you hear me?!"The last sentence came out as a roar.A look of struggle flashed across Jaime's face, but it lasted only a second."I will carry out the mission, Sir!" he shouted.A faint smile appeared on Travis's face.But before he could react, Jaime suddenly swung his fist at his own temple."Captain, as long as you're strong enough, that curse user won't be able to control you! Avenge me!"He wasn't a body-type ability user, but after multiple enhancements, his strength far exceeded that of an ordinary man. And the temple was one of the most fragile points on the human body.With that brutal blow, Jaime died instantly.
If we tried to quantify the woman's ability, it was roughly equivalent to thirty abilities.She had to be one of Mary's top lieutenants; otherwise, how could she have absorbed so much power?And if just one subordinate could wield this much strength, what about Mary herself? How many abilities mus
Ray steered the hovercraft back toward Bay Garden, and Molly and the other women finally exhaled in relief.Of course they were worried—their man was out on an adventure, and his opponents were too strong to underestimate.After breakfast, Ray checked on Celine. Experience told him she would proba
The burly men surged forward instantly.Each one's face was twisted with vicious anticipation, their eyes alight with excitement for the "fun" that awaited them.The woman was stunning. Young, pure-looking—obviously had only known one man before. In a wasteland like this, where could one find some
Could Leo actually understand what Ray was saying? Probably not. But with his rare attention, the dog wagged its tail frantically, eager to please."Woof! Woof! Woof!"Ray was taken aback. "You're this eager? Fine, fine—love that courage of yours! Alright, once I finish 'treating' Celine and gain
