The red pixelated heart shattered in two, turning into fragments that drifted down.
The voice was like a death knell, and Aidan's heart instantly turned to ice.
His fingertips slowly transformed into pixels that drifted through the air and spread continuously toward his body.
The explosion is over.
[Summer] stood inside the crater, which resembled a meteorite, his face, which was indistinguishable from Fulan's, filled with mockery and madness.
His body had already been blasted into pieces by the explosion and was nowhere to be found.
Aidan's body had mostly dissipated; she laboriously turned her eyes toward the person below.
" Fulan..."
Then he looked up at the sky, his pupils beginning to dilate.
"I'm sorry, boss... I can't help you anymore, I might... die."
As his body turned into pixels and floated in the air, the red scarf around his neck fell to the ground.
"No--!"
The Goat Dad and his companions, clad in armor, shouted and tried to rush over when they saw Aidan disappear.
But before they could take two steps, their figures disappeared along with Aidan.
[Summer] walked with burning steps to the scarf and picked it up.
With a snort of laughter, the scarf in his hand was burned to ashes by the fire.
He twisted his wrists, then bent over and landed on all fours. Just as he was about to run into the city, a strange sound came from behind him.
"Hey! Don't you know those were my brother's belongings? Why did you burn them?!"
[Summer] frowned, stood up, and slowly turned her head.
His eyes burned with an uncontainable rage, as if they would erupt at any moment and scorch people.
A pixelated skeleton, less than a meter tall and wearing a blue hoodie, was staring at him with its hands tucked into its hilt.
"What the hell are you?"
"Oh, I Sans, am a skeleton, and also the good brother of that guy you just killed."
"Ah...?"
[Summer]'s somewhat puzzled face broke into an excited grin that stretched to her ears. "Interesting! Even after dying, I can still keep hitting him!"
"Hmm... I'll kill you!"
A blue flame flickered from the empty socket of Sans's eye, outlining that Eye of Judgment.
A massive Gaster Blaster fired a laser beam, which [Summer] blocked with a wave of her hand.
His own arm was severed.
Flames gushed from the wound, and the arm, which had been severed in an instant, was restored to its original state under the scorching heat of the flames.
[Summer] clenched his fist; the sheer power within it drove him mad.
"Hahaha! That's right, that's right! Now that I have [Life] cells, I am complete!"
I am now invincible!
Several Gaster Blaster were fired, and the moment they hit him, [Summer]' s flesh turned into flames, piercing through his body.
He lunged at Sans like a demon.
"Uh... I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer."
Cough, cough!
Kેવire lay in his hospital bed, his violent cough making his already weak body look even more frail.
Beside his bed, two women calmly gazed at each other.
The Humanoid Variant that attacked you before has reappeared.
A tall, stunningly beautiful woman in a suit and glasses was speaking on a tablet with a completely expressionless face.
"Although we don't know what it's up to yet, it's currently massacring civilians. If you don't stop it, our company's last shred of good image will be gone."
She opened the tablet, and [Autumn] appeared on the screen, his figure resembling the Grim Reaper, reaping the Life of ordinary people.
A hint of worry flashed in Diyana's eyes. "Can he handle it? In his current state, going there would only be suicide, and it would make others think we're weak."
The other woman simply shook her head.
"It's just for show. After a brief exchange, they'll use being outmatched as an excuse to run away. It's best to stall until the [Godslaying] Squad arrives."
Of course, it's best to make the escape seem more dramatic, as this will make it more believable.
Since you've already been infected with their virus, getting infected again won't be a big deal.
The seriously injured Kેવire lay in his hospital bed, silently listening to the two men's plan.
He pulled out the IV, stood up, and put on his belt.
"The location tells me..."
He leaned against the wall and walked unsteadily toward the outside.
The woman saw nothing amiss and sent the location to his [ Battle Armor ].
Kેવire stepped out of the room, his [ Battle Armor ] covering his entire body.
Flames erupted from behind, and the silver-white figure crashed through the glass, flying towards [Autumn]'s location.
Diyana watched the other person's retreating figure, her eyes trembling slightly, before walking towards the photography studio.
The woman calmly took a sip of the coffee on the table, then, in her high heels, disappeared without a trace.
City center.
The dense crowd panicked and ran for their lives. Many people's skin began to fester after only a few steps, they coughed up blood, and collapsed to the ground dead.
There were also large, shriveled corpses around, as if they had been drained of moisture.
[Autumn] threw away the dried corpse in her hand and controlled the black insects to swarm towards the crowd.
"Where did they go...?"
Wherever the black insects went, all the living humans were devoured, leaving behind clothes of various colors.
Shriveled, rotting, and completely corroded corpses piled up in the city, forming small, decaying mountains.
"Son... son..."
A man, half of whom was already rotting, was holding a mummified corpse and shaking it incessantly.
The next moment, his head was severed.
[Autumn] stepped over the man's already rotting corpse, swung the sickle in her hand, and walked through the city.
He was like a moving plague, bringing illness and death wherever he went.
"This feeling is so familiar... it was the same a hundred years ago..."
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the person who had just approached him, his eyes filled with displeasure.
"I thought... it would be [Life], not you, a defeated opponent..."
[Autumn] gripped her sickle, completely disregarding Kેવire in front of her.
"They've already been infected by my virus, but with current technology, it's treatable..."
But you, it seems, don't have that girl who gives you peace of mind to recover...
[Autumn] sneered, her eyes seeming to recall something.
Kેવire stared at the other person, when suddenly the large screens on the surrounding buildings lit up with images of the two of them.
[Autumn] looked around with some confusion.
"Fellow citizens! I am [ Beloved Battle Sound ]. Right now, our hero [ Armored Warrior ] is fighting against this evil Variant, buying us time."
Next, please head to Godslaying Technology Company immediately. We will take you to escape this city.
The escape route has been displayed on all screens throughout the city. Please escape according to your location.
Of all the screens in the city, half show images of Kેવire and [Autumn], and the other half show Diyana and an escape route.
"It's [ Armored Warrior ]! He's come to save us!"
"Is he fighting against the Variant all by himself?!"
"Great! Mom and Dad, we're saved!"
People in the city who were once despondent looked at the screens around them and were instantly enveloped in hope and a sense of security.
