Zayn stopped dead in his tracks. He was definitely the one at fault in this case—he really messed up big time. He hurt both Lysithea and his mother. Sighing heavily, he asked, “Is… Mother alright?”“You’re lucky she’s fine,” Lysithea snapped, “I’d maim otherwise!”Zayn went silent, letting only the howling wind speak for him. The gust had turned into a gale as it ferried their exchange, but for some reason, the words only arrived in a voice no louder than a whisper.Zayn asked again, very softly, “When can I see her again?”It was the mother of all depressing topics of conversation. Zayn had naively thought that achieving the perfect class would be enough to save his mother, but he knew better now. It was still a far cry from the minimum competency—he would not be able to rescue his mother if Ezra Sword stood in his way, let alone the Saint of Sicut in Caelo, who was rumored to have already achieved the legendary state of Invincibilis.“The day when you achieved Invincibilis, mayb
Back at Violet Vision, Zayn leaned into his chair. In his mind, he had mulled over Lysithea’s words and attitude enough that he felt compelled to conclude that she was definitely acting strange.She was hiding something from him, he felt. However, he could not detect any weakness. She was far from wanting in brio as well, in fact, it seemed like she had progressed enough in her fighting prowess. He thought about it again and again. Finally, he decided that her abnormality could probably be chalked up to her being mad at him. She was probably furious at him for making his mother despair.Lysithea was right about one thing, though. Three years was too long. He had to save his mom as soon as possible. Her freedom had to be restored.He had to achieve the state of Invincibilis. He had to, and he would—as soon as he could!There, within the borders of Yando City, a large mansion stood proudly in its seclusion. The passage of time had left its mark on the house, yet there was nothing tha
Antony dodged the question with an implicative one of his own. “Tell me, Brooks. Do you remember how old you were when you first broke into the ranks of the perfect class?”Recollection bubbled beneath Paxton’s eyes. They twinkled and glinted like embers, reflecting the light from his bygone, fiery youth. “It’s been thirty years since I attained the perfect class, man. I was thirty-five,” he sighed.He finished his sentence with a small smile—just curved enough to hint at his satisfaction. Attaining the perfect class at such a young age was nothing to be sneered at and he knew it.“Thirty-f**king-five! Man, you’re here showing the world what being gifted really means, don’t you? How many experts out there brokered all their might and effort without ever gaining purchase into that level? But you—well, you did it in your thirties,” Antony exclaimed. He had always been one of the ordinary, untrained, non-special majority, and with it came the same doe-eyed adulation to people who achie
Still, Paxton’s bemusement never dissipated. Reaching the perfect class at the age of twenty-eight? What did that even mean? Was “genius” even the right word? Or could this enigma be more correctly classified as a monster?Being the man known as Ares, the God of War, Paxton Brooks had experienced enough mind-blowing, skull-numbing strangeness throughout his storied life that his biography could have been counted as an epic. Anyone with his life experience would have a mind more resilient and shock-resistant than the average person, and indeed, he calmed down significantly despite his surprise and his composure returned.He looked Antony Hoffman in the eye. “You’re not pulling a fast one on me, are you, Hoffman? You’re telling me that there’s a guy out there who attained the perfect class at the young age of twenty-eight. That’s impossible, alright? You’re describing a freak of nature.”Antony bobbed his head excitedly. “Since when did I ever kid you, man? The name’s Zayn Larson, a
Antony let him ramble. Paxton probably understood his intentions at that point.About a minute later, Paxton started, “Has anyone found out about his reason? Why did he go against his direct order? Why misappropriate the Ambrosia Fruit? What was his ulterior motive?”Antony was bemused. “Do we need to? The Ambrosia Fruit is the solitaire of Earth’s quintessence, a treasure that could propel a man straight into the next few flights of evolution. Can’t you imagine just how seductive the fruit was to a superior class fighter like Zayn? It could strengthen him by leaps and bounds,” he replied. “Besides, he attained the perfect class after this, didn’t he? That’s gotta be a result from consuming the Ambrosia Fruit.”His conjecture sounded pretty full proof, yet Paxton found a reason to shake his head. “I doubt that’s it. Remember, he was the same young man who managed to reach the fourth tier of the superior class within two years. His absolute genius and talent were evident; I don’t thi
Zayn had been living leisurely for the past two days, and his life was back on its original track once again. However, he did not let down his guard just because of that. He knew that what he experienced now was the calm before the storm and many challenges would be lying ahead of him. Meanwhile, he had already stabilized his martial arts training of being a perfect-class master fighter and digested 80% of the Aeon Karpos inside his body. When he could digest the remaining 20%, he would become an unbeatable fighter, and by then, even if Ezra Sword were to attack him, he had full confidence that he would have the ability to fight and perhaps even defeat him!He would cleanse his humiliation by then!He had already handed over his authority to Luke, Sean, and Gordon to manage his business empire in the meantime. It was akin to an enormous machine running rapidly in secret. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Zayn was already the wealthiest man in Guineve now. Moreover, his
Zayn was unaware that his two experienced subordinates, Sean and Gordon, would come up with so many ideas just because he rode an electric scooter. As he rode the electric scooter home leisurely, it was a pleasurable feeling for him. He found the sun that his skin soaked in comforting. Just as he was waiting for the traffic light to turn green, the Porsche next to him rolled down its window and a puzzled voice was heard saying, “Zayn Larson?”Zayn turned his head to the side to find a slightly chubby man with gold-rimmed glasses immediately. The man appeared rather familiar. “Are we acquainted with each other?”“F*ck, it really is you! Oh, Zayn, it’s been so long since we last met!” The man became excited at once. Zayn became even more confused in the meantime because he did not seem to recall who the man was. “You are...?”The man immediately scolded in rage, “F*ck! How dare you forget me? Damn it! I’m Kaiser. We used to go to the same school when we were in eighth grade!”U
In middle school, Kaiser had been very close to Zayn. They headed to different high schools after graduation and lost touch with one another gradually. Kaiser felt that it was a pity that they drifted apart. Kaiser noticed that Zayn was dressed rather crudely earlier and was riding an electric scooter under the hot sun. It was apparent that Zayn was not doing very well in life. It was a coincidence that the middle school reunion was taking place tonight. The other ex-schoolmates were doing very well in life now, hence perhaps it would be a good opportunity for Zayn to change his life for the better if Kaiser were to invite him. Most importantly, it would be even better if Zayn could catch Roxanne’s eyes. One should know that Roxanne used to be rather close to Zayn in the past. In fact, they even flirted with one another at one point. At the time, both Zayn and Roxanne had the best academic performance, and they sat next to each other. They were nicknamed the golden children.N
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
