The effect took no time to happen. Faye’s general health seemed to improve at a visible rate after she swallowed the fruit.“I… I feel so much better now, Zayn! I don’t feel so fatigued anymore!” she cried in earnest joy, her eyes widening and glimmering.Zayn regarded the change overtaking her as a heartfelt smile surfaced to his lips. “That’s wonderful, honey.”Faye closed her eyes. A shot of vitality spread from the naval through a web and into different parts of her body. It seeped into her innards and organs like a spring—she had never felt quite like this before!Zayn ruffled her hair gently while she enjoyed the sensation. As she closed her eyes, she missed the rotating, flitting corridor of joy, relief, happiness—and regret.He harbored no delusion of what awaits him after this. It would be no exaggeration to say that he exchanged his life for hers, and maybe it made him sound like the biggest idiot in the world. He was a superior-class fourth tier legend; his life was inf
Mr. Hyde pulled open the car door and gawked at Zayn in overwhelming shock. “Y-Young Master! Did you… did you steal the Ambrosia fruit?!”Zayn furrowed his eyebrows a little displeased. These were his last moments with Faye, and every second that slipped by was more precious than gold. However, now, Mr. Hyde was being the persona non grata who was ruining his time.He nodded briskly as a sign of approval and said, “Close the door on your way out.”The clock kept ticking. He had less than a minute with Faye, and the least he wanted to do was to waste it on Mr. Hyde.The man, however, was so taken by the roaring emotions in his head that he disobeyed Zayn and stayed. “Young Master Zayn, do you have any idea just how much The Saint wants the Aeon Karpos?! He wants it so much that he deployed Lord Ezra and Lady Lysithea for the task!” he blabbered, “B-but you… you took it! Lord Ezra will not possibly tolerate this—there’s no way he will let you go for doing something like this! Not in
Zayn’s piercing eyes bore through Mr. Hyde’s. When he spoke, his somber tone hid an undercurrent of pleas.“Please. Help me this one last time.”Mr. Hyde watched the young man before him as his entire being trembled. An apocalyptic battle of emotions was raging in his head. His whole life had been dedicated to his Lady Hayley King. His life was hers to command. She commanded him to protect and take care of her only son a long time ago, and that had been his raison d'être, his entire point of existence, ever since. But now he had to watch the object of his life’s mission die before his eyes, and there was nothing he could do about it. He was that helpless, that wanting of power. No one could understand the pain this whole thing was causing to him.Mr. Hyde burst into tears.He had felt despair before. When he faced Diego with what he had thought was his last stand, Mr. Hyde had felt despair but not sorrow. He did not even blink, but now, he was crying. He was weeping so much that
Zayn watched Mr. Hyde’s car drive off into the distance until the silhouette faded out of his sight, taking his anxiety away.He smiled. She was safe now. All those efforts paid off—he had saved her. Everything he had worked for, every decision he made, every step he took had yielded the best and only outcome he wanted to see.He turned his eyes away from the direction he last saw them.The air about him took a sharp turn in another direction. He was no longer the doting, gentle husband—he was now Zayn Larson, saddled with all the pathos of a Greek tragic hero, facing his fate like a man who had nothing to lose.Death befalls us all. Some of us die in relative obscurities, like shadows fading into the night. Others die with a flash and a bang. Zayn knew he was not going to live through this. Soon, he might meet the Reaper too; he truly believed that. Maybe his death would not be as big of a bang as he hoped, but he knew he was, at least, not going to die as someone who never matter
To someone as powerful as Ezra, covering five hundred meters was the same as making a five-meter trip. It was never going to take that much time.And the moment Ezra reached Zayn would be the moment he faced his death.It was a salient realization to the one who was supposed to die. It was why instead of running around heedlessly to dodge him, Zayn tried to come up with strategies to save himself from his enemy’s lethal wrath.As that was going on, his other acquaintances had arrived. Lysithea, Taio, Joe, Hollis, Caspian, and the others were fast, but none of them could hold a candle to the exalting level legendary fighters like Ezra effortlessly demonstrated.An apex fighter like him terrified them, be it in terms of speed or raw power. They could not help but be wary of the man’s existence, which made them realize that as long as Ezra was a contender, the Ambrosia fruit would never be theirs.Hollis was the first to shout in fury, “F*ck! It was within our reach before that Larso
Zayn felt an immense pressure coming toward him now, and it was unprecedentedly strong!Ezra had been pursuing him from the back all along, and he could not throw him off regardless of how hard he tried. However, he knew that Ezra was tremendously powerful. In fact, he was the most powerful man that he had ever encountered so far in his life. He also accepted that he did not have a high probability of running, so he had to buy himself time to the best of his abilities and see if he could escape to the place he designed. Then, he would save himself from the desperate situation!“Zayn, you can’t run from me.”Ezra’s mocking voice was heard in Zayn’s ears while he chased after Zayn at full speed. His expression appeared to be very relaxed and leisurely, and there was even a smirk on his face, which was a sign that he did not exert his full effort at all. On the contrary, Zayn appeared to be much more laborious. He was less powerful than Ezra from the start. In addition to that, h
Ezra’s brows furrowed even tighter. He was under the assumption that the act of handling a trivial Zayn was easy for him, yet the reality was right before his eyes now. Zayn’s power had far surpassed his expectations. His temper had risen to a new level now, so he growled, “Ungrateful wretch!” before he sped up abruptly and began attacking Zayn ferociously. No matter how ingenious Zayn’s martial arts skill was, he was nothing in the face of the all-powerful Ezra. “Since you won’t hand it over, go to hell then!” Ezra let out a loud shout while his speed increased a little. The surrounding air was stirred up by his movements before turning into countless vortexes that pulled at Zayn. It felt as if numerous black holes were conjured to slow down Zayn’s movements instantly. Zayn was astonished at once. “What martial arts style is this?”Ezra did not answer Zayn as he threw a punch that landed on Zayn’s shoulder instantly. A crack was heard and Zayn’s shoulder was dislocated from the
Zayn did bury a large number of explosives there indeed. However, it was not as much as a few tonnes but only a few tens of kilograms though that, too, was enough. He had made numerous preparations in advance for this particular plan. These explosives here were his final trump card. It was fortunate that he managed to withstand it until this point. This place was a full 20 kilometers away from Mount Leo. If other people were to know about his plan and that he had calculated it so accurately, they would certainly feel incredulous and even be seized with terror. How impressive was Zayn’s ability to calculate such assumptions so accurately? One should know that there were dozens of master fighters who were set on getting the Aeon Karpos with super-powerful fighters like Ezra amongst them. There was also a great distance involved in the journey, so there were way too many possible variables involved, and if there was any drawback involved in any of the segments, all his efforts wou
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
