Chapter 559
The blood-red setting sun hung motionless in the sky, and every breath of wind across the shattered wasteland fell still.
Thousands of Ultimate Sentinel wrecks covered the cracked earth. Charred metal fragments lay in heaps, their lingering heat fading into wisps. The battle that had raged moments before was over.
