“But of course! Whatever, everything is perfect now! After waiting for more than a dozen generations, the solar picture prophecy would finally be fulfilled! After all, you are the true bearer of the Primordial Spirit of Hercules!” hoyt said while laughing.
"What I heard is that since the mission is now complete, my family and I should no longer be among the living, right?" ask Gerald.
"of course. Although I admit that you can solve the problem quite meticulously, it is unfortunate that there is actually no other way out for you. Your fate has been determined since you were born! You are always destined to end up in our hands! ” Hoyt retorted, his mocking expression filled with ridicule.
After noticing all this, Gerald then laughed bitterly before replying, “You almost sound proud of your ability to manipulate others and play as a god.”
"of course! As if there was something more exciting than that in the world!” teased Hoyt before laughing out loud.
“From what you said, it seems that apart from my strength, all the other things I experienced to date could be just artificial! In any case, I was too easy to trust others, resulting in my family being kidnapped and maybe even harmed.It is a pity that I was so careless.” muttered Gerald, a hint of regret emanated in his eyes.
Why didn't he think of establishing a protective formation for his family after awakening his strength? It might be able to prevent his family members from being kidnapped!
Thinking about all this also made him a little frightened. After all, if Zyla did not help him unlock the natural gifts of the Primordial Spirit of Hercules, he could easily die at the hands of this group or the Portal of the Judgment King.
While staring at his palm, he could not help but clench it slightly.
"Ha ha ha! Well, to be honest, it's precisely because you're late that your family members are still alive! Had we found you that day, none of them would have lived again! ” replied Hoyt while pulling out his phone before playing the pre-recorded video…
From what Gerald could see, the video was shot in some kind of dark basement…
After the video is enlarged, Gerald realizes that someone is being tortured with an iron whip! The person himself looked greatly mutilated, and Gerald's eyes were filled with anger the moment he saw the victim's face. That was his father!
As Gerald's heart began to beat, he noticed the presence of a masked young man sitting on the side of the basement. The man just sat there, laughing and mocking Gerald's father who was still being flogged repeatedly.
“Chief Crawford, there's no point talking to him anymore. Why didn't I catch him first? Once done, we will use the remaining time to discuss how we will share the energy of the Primordial Spirit Hercules!” grumbled a Japanese man who was among the eight experts. From what Gerald could see, he was at least a fourth rank master.
Not even waiting for Hoyt to answer, the samurai then jumped forward to try to grab Gerald by the neck!
Gerald, however, doesn't have any of it. Now very angry, Gerald immediately stated, “You really b*stards…! To do all this, I, Gerald Crawford, vow to turn all of you into ashes once I'm done!”
After that, Gerald was immediately enveloped in a blood red light that made the heart of— anyone who saw it— was pounding wildly. Adding that to the urgent killing intent that Gerald was unleashing at the moment, it seemed like he could kill with just the two of them!
Even the Japanese master who had previously rushed forward found himself frozen in place when he sensed the terrifying killing intent from Gerald.
“A-what...?!” the man muttered as he instantly felt a strong urge to take a step back.
However, even before he could do so, he felt a powerful force pulling him towards Gerald! His hand was now over the Japanese man's throat, Gerald then squeezed it hard ...
And with a sickening voice, the man's head exploded into millions of pieces.
“...H-ya...?!”
It took a while for everyone to realize what had just happened, but when it finally happened, their eyelids immediately started moving quickly.
This was especially so for Hoyt, who had already taken a few steps back in horror and astonishment after witnessing Gerald's horrifying change.
How....How did all this happen?!
