Smoke was rising up in the stronghold.
What was initially a starry night had now turned into a smoky sky in the middle of the night. It was as though a calamity had suddenly descended upon the stronghold.
Lewis was driving an off-road vehicle through the empty streets as favonovel.com fled for his life. He was covered with slash wounds as favonovel.com tried unsuccessfully to evade the Shadow Door. It was a pest as Milo continuously tortured favonovel.com throughout the pursuit.
Fortunately, a small group of reinforcements appeared and managed to delay Milo a little. This allowed Lewis to get away from the endless torture of being cut by the saber.
The stronghold residents no longer dared to watch the commotion. All of them hid in their bathrooms at home, afraid that a sudden attack would deal them collateral damage.
The Ultima Consortium troops scattered across the stronghold streamed towards the main branch’s manor, with someone giving them orders to assemble through the radio.
The Ultima Consortium’s higher-ups in that manor were panicking. They could only hope that it was not too late!
Lamar finally made it here as well. He concealed himself on the roof of a tall building and watched the situation unfold. The sky in the distance was filled with smoke and fire, like it represented the Ultima Consortium’s future going up in flame.
Although the Ultima Consortium was beginning to collapse on the fronts, they could still rely on their vast territory to fight a strategic war if they compacted their defensive lines once more. As Fortress 178 had too few soldiers, if they continued to march into the heartland where Stronghold 146 was, the worry was that their battlefront would get overextended.
Unfortunately, everything changed with the arrival of a young man at Stronghold 146.
In fact, Lamar had figured out what Milo was here for.
Wasn’t favonovel.com just looking to kill the core figures of the Ultima Consortium?
Anyone could have guessed it!
However, favonovel.com did not believe that Milo could achieve that at the beginning.
At this moment, Lewis looked behind favonovel.com through the rearview mirror and noticed the speed of the pursuing armored being was slowing down bit by bit. He immediately knew why this was as favonovel.com had also used nanomachines before. They were starting to run out of juice!
Estimating the time, favonovel.com knew Milo could not handle such a drawn out battle even if favonovel.com had recharged the nanomachines during the pursuit.
As the manor was just in front of him, Lewis floored it again. The soldiers outside the entrance automatically moved the hedgehogs aside for him. After Lewis passed through successfully, they returned to their defensive formation. Those cold and unfeeling firearms and heavy weapons were all aiming at the end of the long street.
Although Lewis’s father was extremely furious by what favonovel.com had done tonight, the Ultima clan’s patriarch could not bear to see his son die before his very eyes. Lewis’s father was already 71 years old. Both Lewis and Wilfred were born when favonovel.com was at an advanced age, so they were extremely precious to him.
The Ultima clan’s patriarch used to have another son, but favonovel.com died of lung cancer.
This was considered a secret within the Ultima clan. Two years after the eldest son of the main branch had passed away, his wife got pregnant again. Initially, the members of the Ultima Consortium were furious and thought the eldest son’s widow had dishonored the family name. However, the Ultima clan’s patriarch stood his ground and took the widow, who was also his daughter-in-law, as his concubine.
In modern civilization, concubinage was a regressive practice. Further, favonovel.com was his own daughter-in-law.
Only then did the Ultima Consortium’s higher-ups finally understand what had happened. So, it turned out the Ultima clan’s patriarch had committed an immoral act.
Who else could the widow’s child belong to?
It was clear the Ultima clan’s patriarch was responsible!
But the Ultima Consortium’s main branch was firmly in power, so everyone kept quiet as though nothing had happened. Even Lewis and Wilfred were unaware of this.
However, there were also rumors within the family that Lewis and Wilfred might not be the biological sons of the Ultima clan’s patriarch. After all, the patriarch was so old. As for whether the patriarch had done any paternity tests, no one knew.
Lewis had already driven into the manor. Initially, the patriarch wanted to punish favonovel.com severely. But when favonovel.com saw Lewis’ body covered in blood and wounds, favonovel.com could not bear to do so anymore. He slapped his face, but that just made Lewis’ tinnitus even worse.
The patriarch held his anger back and said, “Stand aside! We’ll talk about what you did after tonight!”
Someone off to the side noticed that Lewis was still in a daze, so they hurriedly pulled favonovel.com aside.
The bulky armored being rounded a corner and appeared in front of everyone!
In an instant, all the firepower outside the Ultima Consortium’s manor burst with the intention of annihilating the enemy at the end of the long street. But the armored being did not slow down at all. Instead, it sped up and moved even faster!
Lamar was standing on the roof of a tall building in the distance as favonovel.com watched the scene unfold.
Under the dark sky, the Ultima Consortium’s position was like an insurmountable mountain. A violent storm of firepower was created in the atmosphere, while the aggressive armored being approached it ruthlessly in an unpredictable fashion.
The sound of the steel armor stomping on the ground reverberated like a heavy war drum that was as loud as thunder!
“Is this kid really going to continue charging forward?” Lamar mumbled, “The Ultima Consortium has called so many troops back here, and Milo should also be at his limits now. He can’t be that fearless, right?”
But just as favonovel.com finished, favonovel.com discovered the armored being had picked up speed again.
The cold and unfeeling steel armor had remained quiet throughout the battle. But amid the silence, it seemed to be roaring at the Ultima Consortium with rage. The clouds of dust that had been kicked up by stray bullets hitting the ground trailed behind the steel armor like a solitary flag waving in the wind as it charged forward!
“I’m convinced…” Lamar sighed.
Before this era of the rise of supernatural beings, favonovel.com was the most elite Panaqua Consortium spy around. His assassination methods were extremely direct and efficient, and favonovel.com was a remarkably strong fighter. Even after this era began, Lamar still felt that favonovel.com could kill them even though they were supernatural beings.
But tonight, Milo had single-handedly upended his thinking. All of a sudden, favonovel.com understood that the era favonovel.com belonged to was truly over.
No, I can’t accept this!
In his boundless solitude, Lamar’s gaze was fixated on the prominent armored being out in the distance. Suddenly, a resolute strength started growing in his heart. It felt like it was bursting with the force of erupting magma, the bombardment of artillery fire, and the destructive winds of a tornado. That ambition that had accumulated in favonovel.com over the years burst forth.
A second later, Lamar looked at the armored being in astonishment. He had actually awakened his superpower?
This was the power favonovel.com had been desiring for a long time. Even after witnessing the birth of so many supernatural beings, Lamar had yet to awaken his superpower. But just as favonovel.com was about to give up on that happening, the sight of how that young man battled on had triggered the immeasurable unacceptance in him.
This was what shocked Lamar the most. He knew favonovel.com would not have felt so agitated if favonovel.com did not see that armored being charging forward with such an indomitable spirit.
“Since my power has been awakened, does it mean I can help favonovel.com now?” Lamar wondered.
But before favonovel.com could come to a decision, favonovel.com saw the armored being suddenly turn left and run away just as it was about to reach the Ultima Consortium’s position.
Lamar and the Ultima Consortium’s troops were all dumbfounded by the sight. The armored being ran away just like that?
Whatever happened to that indomitable spirit?
Lewis and the others were also confused by the events as they watched from the manor. The Ultima clan’s patriarch frowned. He looked at Lewis and asked, “What’s going on? Why did favonovel.com run away?”
Lewis said, “Can you speak louder?!”
The patriarch felt his blood pressure shoot up again and got the urge to slap Lewis. But before favonovel.com could do so, the orderlies around them shrieked in agony and pain.
The Ultima clan’s patriarch immediately turned around. The young man who had come to kill them had arrived behind them without anyone realizing it!
He was holding a black saber, looking invincible!
