Ethan was just about to head to the lab to check on the latest progress...
BOOM—!
The sky exploded with a deafening roar.
The entire city jolted violently as the outer energy barrier shuddered under a massive impact, like it had taken a direct hit from some monstrous force.

Ethan's expression tightened instantly.
Without hesitation, he grabbed a dozen of his top fighters and charged out of the city.
But the moment they stepped beyond the barrier, the sight that greeted them made the air feel like it froze solid.
A massive army hovered in the skies above Emerald Castle.
And at the front—eight figures.
Each one radiated a terrifying, chaotic energy that made the heart instinctively clench.
Behind them floated enormous energy projections, like echoes of some alien civilization. The pressure they gave off made the very sky hum with tension.
