With a fierce determination, Thero and Jimmy forged ahead, clearing the path for Emma, leaving behind scorched earth that told tales of devastation.

From her vantage point in the Gravicar, Emma remained anchored in her seat, her eyes glued to the live surveillance feed that Corvin had diligently pulled up for her.

On the screen, the scene was one of utter chaos. The Violet Obsidian Clan’s therians were in a frenzy, panic radiating from their every movement as they scattered like leaves in a storm, desperately trying to escape the impending doom that loomed over them.

Emma had made her intentions clear to Thero and Jimmy: destroy property, but spare lives.

After all, those who survived would soon find themselves conscripted as free labor on the outer battlefield, forced to fight against the relentless Chitinids. To kill them now would be an utter waste of resources and potential.

One by one, the therians began to shift into their serpent forms, their bodies slithering in a desperate rush toward the central compound of the clan.

The sheer number of serpents sent a shiver down Emma’s spine, a visceral reaction that made her skin crawl.

Then, out of the chaos, came a sharp, menacing hiss.

A colossal serpent, stretching over 300 feet, launched itself into the air, its scales crackling with flickers of lightning.

It was a sight that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Edric’s brows knitted together the moment he laid eyes on the creature. “Thalion. What is he doing here?” he murmured, his voice laced with concern.

Emma didn’t recognize the beast, but the air around it thrummed with an unmistakable Rank 10 aura, a palpable force that made her heart race. “That thing’s Rank 10?” she questioned, disbelief coloring her tone.

Silas’ voice cut through the tension, cool and dripping with disdain. “An artificially accelerated Rank 10. Just like that Sulien we encountered at the Interstellar Hunter Alliance last time.”

A humorless laugh escaped him. “I should have anticipated this. The Violet Obsidians will stop at nothing to reclaim their former glory—even if it means torturing their own kind. Their cruelty has turned inward.”

On the screen, Thalion appeared almost feral, a wildness in his eyes that suggested a mind teetering on the brink of madness. With a crack of lightning, he launched himself at Jimmy, his actions reckless and devoid of any strategy.

There was no defense, no calculated move—just raw, chaotic madness.

“There’s something deeply wrong with him,” Emma whispered, her heart heavy with a sense of foreboding.

As soon as Thalion collided with Jimmy, the beast was effortlessly swatted down with a single claw, a swift and brutal dismissal.

A thunderous boom reverberated through the air, the impact creating a massive crater in the earth, a testament to the clash of power.

“His mental power has collapsed,” Silas explained, his tone unnervingly calm. “He’s about to self-destruct.”
