Miles had a look of admiration on his face as his eyes lit up. He muttered to himself, “That’s so cool. He sees everyone outside of the organization as tiny, helpless ants.”Skye had a look of infatuation on her face similarly. It felt as if a brand new world was opened up to her and a seed of fanaticism was planted in her heart. Even Ruby and Waine had almost similar reactions. They did not have admiration for the person but they felt inferior and agreed with the man’s statement that the man was a man while they were just ants. Sensing the reaction from the crowd, the expression on Zayn’s face changed ever so slightly. He furrowed his brows ever so slightly and figured that he had underestimated the man. It seemed that the man’s presence was almost similar to the concept of preaching a religion. Of course, he would never allow the man to continue his task. He let out two coughs. It was not loud yet it exploded in the minds of everyone on the scene like a thunderclap on a sunny
Thud!They engaged in an intense fight. At the very moment, their fists and legs made contact with one another, and the ground shook in a very forceful way. One could only imagine how powerful their combined strength was.Sensing each other’s strength, both of them were mutually astonished by how they had underestimated one another. However, it was this particular member of Sicut In Caelo who was most astonished. He did not expect Zayn to be so powerful, so much so that he could feel pain from the resulting collision. He had never experienced anything like it!Even though he was not considered the upper echelon of Sicut In Caelo, he was still a member of the organization. His innate essence was completely different from anyone out there. It seemed that The Saintress’ genes were so powerful that a bastard child she had with an ordinary person could still possess such powerful strength. So what? An ant was still an ant regardless, it could not possibly be a worthy opponent to
The force was so potent that it caused the paint on the wall to break away on its own. In the part where the brunt of the force landed, a crater was formed, allowing observers to gauge how much force Zayn had put.Zayn exhaled a long sigh, and Skye—who was standing about ten meters away from him—felt a gale brushing her face as if she had just faced a high-power fan. For some reason, her heart felt much colder than her face.The entire house seemed to have shrunken into a silence that could only be achieved by people being simultaneously nonplussed—or more accurately, flabbergasted. Their minds were blown, their worldview completely restructured, their minds were blank after such a bang. For a moment, their senses were numbed from all that shock.They would have never imagined any human being possible of Zayn’s feat before today. To them, the strength professional boxers and MMA fighters displayed on the TV should already be the pinnacle of human puissance. It was only today when th
Skye’s mental state was in complete disarray; she was all snot, tears, and uncontrollable keening. Gone was the conceit and condescending attitude that had characterized her in other, more normal times!Zayn, however, was not in the mood to entertain her, either. “It’s pointless to beg for mercy,” he declared coldly, “You’ll do better grovelling to your dear cousin Fifi. If she thinks you’re forgivable, great. If she thinks otherwise… Hmph!”Zayn pushed his foot down, and with a loud crack, rifts jagged through the poor tile underneath him.Skye was even more horrified now. Every shade in her face fled her face until all there was left was fear. She was never a brave young lady to begin with, and now Zayn’s power violated the limit of what was possible. In fact, she was starting to wonder if Zayn was never human to begin with—only some kind of superhuman could do the things he did, right?!She was so terrified by this point that nothing else seemed crazy anymore. Without a shred of
Envy. Pure, unadulterated envy, aimed at Zayn for being the son of a Saintess.Zayn had known nothing about Sicut In Caelo prior to this other than a vague description about how mysterious and powerful it was and the fact that his mother originated from there. But what exactly was Sicut In Caelo? Where was its headquarters?He had not a single inkling. But after his run-in with Miles’ older brother, Zayn had a vague, but good grasp of what Sicut In Caelo might be. From the sound of it, his mother’s pedigree was rather eminent, too—“Saintess” might very well likely be her designation rather than her codename.This cryptic organization just kept getting more and more intriguing the more he heard about it.His opponent turned out to have quite some vitality to spare, since he remained alive—coughing hard and looking as though he was hanging by a thread, but alive nonetheless—despite the life-endangering damages. He had lost the self-aggrandizing grandeur he first debuted with, though,
Of course, that was impossible. Zayn simply knocked Vulcan out. Murder was still a crime in the eyes of the law, so even if he wanted to kill the man, Zayn would not be so stupid as to murder him in front of a crowd.He turned back to the people gawking at him from behind and noted the gazes they shot him.It was how Faye and her family looked at him—it triggered a long, drawn-out sigh that he tried to stifle. He did not expect anything of what had happened to—well—happen, never in his wildest dreams. Then again, that is what life was. One could try their damnedest to map out a script of how their life should go, hunched over a large drawing board churning out contingency plan after contingency plan. Even after all of that, there was an element of chance and luck one could never account for.No one could be the sole master of their life. The future would always be uncertain, nebulous, and poorly-defined.Now that the impossible and unexpected had happened, regret had quickly become
Zayn had chosen Gordon’s help over Mr. Hyde’s for a very simple reason—he distrusted the man’s neutrality. It was hard to believe he would do things for Zayn’s favor when the former was, himself, a member of Sicut In Caelo. It would not be surprising if the man let Vulcan go because of this connection, and as someone who was exacting as he was meticulous, Zayn would definitely not allow room for errors.He would, however, allow a degree of leeway to poor Skye Carter, whose sanity seemed just a bit too close to snapping. In a moment of pity, he let her go.Now that he tied every loose knot, Zayn could finally give himself a breather. His battle with Vulcan had exhausted too much of his strength and energy that he was starting to feel the creeping signs of fatigue.He turned, locking his eyes with Faye and her family’s distant—and almost fearful—gaze and feeling a pang of unhappiness from the way they looked at him.“Since your house’s a bit of a mess right now, why don’t you come an
Ruby’s feelings had always been largely defined by her vanity, so the fulsome attention immediately made her feel like she was at the height of her life, basking in the adulation reserved for the queen of the world. Even those rich housewives who used to look down on her had come rushing to talk to her without a shred of condescension. How could life be any better by this point?!She had sunken completely into the high of having her vain ego pampered and massaged the moment she lived in a luxury villa. In fact, it was enough to make her forget Zayn’s incident—and all the terror of it—completely.Waine could not contain himself from trying as soon as he saw how much glamor his wife managed to net. He broadcasted similar pictures to his social media account and immediately received a whirlwind of adulations and attention. So many people had come in and voiced their jealousy! So many had invited him for meals and hangouts too, just so they could take a peek at their seven million dollar
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
