Chapter 1346
Mordecai’s fist was inches away from smashing the server hard drives.
Neither brother could match the speed of a mutated Obsidian Augment. Right at that moment.
Click.
The entire VIP suite plunged into darkness as the breakers tripped.
Outside, Julian had ruthlessly severed the critical power lines.
A vital circuit was dead.
The self-destruct sequence, which was already halfway through erasing everything, instantly stalled.
Half of the core data was saved.
Jerrick and Jasper immediately threw themselves forward, blocking Mordecai’s attempt to physically obliterate the mainframe.
Fists and feet collided in a blur of violence.
Jerrick launched a lightning-fast strike at the back of Mordecai’s neck.
But he quickly realized that the usual weak point was completely useless.
Instead, Jerrick was forced to take a direct punch from the mutant. A bone-jarring shockwave shot up his arm, leaving a splitting pain radiating through his hand.
His expression shifted, and he swiftly drew his weapon, firing point-blank.
The bullets tore into Mordecai, leaving bloody holes, but they did absolutely nothing to slow his frenzied attacks.
One brother was a Special Forces King; the other was The Abyss’s Top-Ranked Hunter. Yet, facing a half-finished mutated Augment, they were genuinely struggling.
The main issue was that their opponent p>
Was no longer human.
Bullets were useless.
Pain was nonexistent.
Even after they managed to dislocate one of his arms, Mordecai simply twisted his body at a grotesque angle and forcefully popped the bone back into place.
Jerrick and Jasper exchanged a deeply shaken look.
It was only at this exact moment that they truly comprehended what Serena had just faced inside Cabin 10 all by herself.
They were two hardened, top-tier fighters, and they were struggling to put down just one of these things.
And yet, on the monitors just minutes ago.
Their supposedly delicate, fragile little sister.
Locked alone in that confined space.
Had completely decimated five of them.
Just how terrifyingly overpowered was Serena p>
Over at the main venue.
The Severian officials could no longer sit still.
They knew there was no point trying to defend themselves to the control center anymore. Their
was to beg Seten
now was to beg Serena content
They rushed to the entrance of Cabin 10, using the private broadcast channel to communicate with the inside.
Their faces were contorted with panic, sweating profusely as they babbled over one another. It’s a misunderstanding! We swear it’s all a misunderstanding, Contestant Serena p>
“This was an error made by temporary staff. We will terminate them immediately p>
“Please turn off the live stream first! We will open Cabin 10 right away, and we can discuss this properly p>
“Severia means you no harm! We beg you, stay calm p>
Their desperate, groveling attempts to salvage the situation were pathetically laughable.
Watching their panicked, ugly faces
on the main screen, the smirk on Serena’s lips grew more
pronounced. “Oh, so now you want to discuss things properly?
She scoffed. “Too late p>
Right then.
A highly encrypted message popped up on her portable terminal.
It was just two short lines.
[The Dragon-Thorn Squad has mobilized p>
[Initiating operation p>
A sharp glint passed through Serena’s eyes, and her lips curled upward.
She lifted her gaze, staring directly into the live broadcast camera.
Her smile was cold, arrogant, and laced with an utterly wicked nonchalance.
“Severia p>
“I have a grand gift for you p>
“Consider it… a token of my gratitude p>
Hearing those words.
The hearts of every Severian official plummeted into their stomachs.
A sickening sense of impending doom swallowed them whole.
“No p>
“Captain Serena, let’s talk this out p>
“Whatever conditions you have, we can negotiate p>
