Everyone laughed.
“You and your money!”

Theo spoke quietly. “Getting to fight alongside all of you–that was the luckiest thing that ever happened
to me. Thank you for everything. Let’s meet again in the next life.”
“Ha!”
“Deal! Next life, we meet again!”
“Until then.”
Every one of them was ready to die.
Steven’s eyes burned red.
“Nobody is dying today! Let me handle this!”
Peter shook his head. “Kid, I wish more than anything that you could fight your way out. You shouldn’t die
here.
“If you get the chance, don’t worry about us. Just survive. Please.”
Peter clapped a hand on Steven’s shoulder.
His smile was the smile of a man who’d already said goodbye.
The next second.
The Divine Barrier shattered.
Sebastian roared.
He hurled the metal sphere with everything he had, sending it arcing two miles out.
At the same moment, Olivia launched the metal lotus in the opposite direction.
Both detonated on opposite flanks.
The sphere landed in a beast’s rnouth and was swallowed whole.
One heartbeat later.
A catastrophic shockwave vaporized the beast into dust.
The blast expanded outward in every direction.
Everything within a mile and a half of the impact point was annihilated.

A pillar of force punched skyward, blasting a gaping hole in the quantum wall overhead.
The wall repaired itself most instantly.
That entire zone was now devoid of beasts.

But the surrounding creatures, and the ones still crawling out of the earth, would fill the gap soon enough.
On Olivia’s side, the metal lotus shot outward.
A series of mechanical clicks rang out as the lotus opened.
Its 108 petals fanned out in every direction.
Each petal detonated on impact, carpeting the ground in explosions.
The body count was impossible to count.
Hundreds, if not thousands.

Two weapons of mass destruction, buying them a sliver of time.
A tragic waste—both had been meant for a breakout, not a last stand.
Olivia and the remaining Surveillants dropped their equipment and picked up weapons.
They gathered together.
Every single one of them was ready to die.
Edric glanced toward Alan’s position and let out a quiet sigh.
The beast army paused for only a moment, then surged in again.
Like a flood bursting through a dam, it rushed straight at everyone.
In a heartbeat, it would swallow them all.
Steven pulled out his safehouse and shoved the critically wounded Uriah inside.

Then his eyes hardened with absolute resolve, and he fully activated Scorchblood Ignition.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
If this keeps up, Alan will finish them both. Are they really going to let him turn this around?
Hugo was seething.
Alan’s power had far exceeded their intelligence. Every previous report had pegged him at the Four–Sigil level.

And in all of his fights around Rowenville, he’d never displayed anything close to this kind of strength.
They’d miscalculated.
They should have brought more force. Their leader should have come personally.
And now, of their entire force, only he and Lars remained.
Hugo’s eyes glittered with deadly cold. Alan was as good as dead. Right now, saving Lars came first.
Hugo pulled a projectile from his spatial converter–a dart–shaped metal device,
He armed it without hesitation.
The dart shot forward at blistering speed, aimed squarely at Alan’s exposed back.
Theodore saw everything.
Tears of blood streamed from his eyes.
He screamed.
All four of his Divine Sigils detonated at once.
Every last shred of his remaining power poured into one thing: speed.
Under normal circumstances, Theodore could never have caught the dart.
But the guilt and self–loathing devouring his soul told him one thing: Alan could not die.
The debt hadn’t been repaid. The team’s deaths hadn’t been avenged. Theodore had long since lost the right to live, but Alan still had a purpose. He was the only one who could settle the score.
He can’t die!
Theodore poured everything he had into his body.
He turned himself into a human origin energy cannon and launched himself forward
