Under a tug, there was no tugging.

The dark and blurry palm was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, it did not consider such an outcome.

It subconsciously exerted itself several more times.

But Jason still stood there, not moving.

Moreover, he slowly lowered his head and looked over.

The blurry pitch-black palm seemed to feel such a gaze, and the whole palm immediately stiffened.

The atmosphere was also awkward.

After a full second, the palm of the hand writhed with great unease.

And then......

The palm began to slowly retreat.

It's as if Jason can't see it.

Soon it receded to the edge of the 'wall'.

And just as it was about to return to the 'gap', the palm suddenly disappeared.

It crossed the space again and grabbed at Jason's ankle.

Cunning!

The blurred black palms show considerable intelligence.

But it didn't work for Jason!

Jason still stood there without moving, just slowly lifting his other foot.

When the palm that had passed through the space was about to grab the ankle of Jason's foot, the foot he had just raised fell down just in time.

Bang!

The tremendous force brought a dull sound.

This peculiar palm was directly trampled into a 'black' ball.

It tumbled like steam, yet stood still like a shadow.

Two distinct senses of conflict emerge in this 'black'.

Then, the 'gap' suddenly expanded, like an open mouth, straight towards Jason.

What was a trivial suction power for Jason before has increased tenfold at this moment!

Jason stumbled and seemed to be about to fall inside!

Suddenly, the 'darkness' inside cheered.

They're twisting, they're fangs and claws.

They seem to come to life completely at this moment.

For the food!

Fresh flesh and blood!

Jason, whose body was out of balance, looked at everything in front of him with an indifferent face, he raised his hand unhurriedly and pointed, and his mouth sounded faintly-

Yi！

The special force field of [Evil Protection] is like a flood that bursts the levee and pours directly into this widening gap.

In an instant, the cheers disappeared.

The newly revived 'darkness' began to writhe body wildly, trying to get rid of the special force field of [Protecting against Evil], but it was of no use at all, and the moment it came into contact, the 'darkness' began to disappear.

Nothing is left behind.

Fly ash annihilation.

Between breaths, there was a dead silence.

The widened gap is directly reduced and disappeared.

The walls are back to normal, and the light can no longer 'see' through.

However, Jason could only see this, and he didn't have a chance to observe it any further.

Because, those pitch-black humanoid monsters locked on to him again.

In order not to get caught up in the layers of surrounding, Jason quickly headed towards the next hidden location - this was another place he had found when he had just made a move, where the light bulb was damaged.

[Fog Concealment] obscured Jason's figure, enveloping these monsters.

With the help of the fog, Jason easily pulled to the second hidden location.

This is supposed to be a 'shopping mall' furniture display area.

Jason glanced at the large bed with white mattresses and sheets of the same color and the bedside table of the same style, and he really wanted to lie down and experience the comfort.

Then, he chose the wardrobe on the side.

Pulling open the closet door, Jason ducked in.

And when the closet door closed, Jason curled up and sat down.

The large bed is comfortable, but there is no cover, obviously not practical.

The wardrobe is cramped and uncomfortable, but safe enough.

Leaning against the wooden planks in the closet, Jason closed his eyes and listened.

Relying on the [Blind Fight] Perception Temporary +0.3 specialty, Jason's perception instantly reached 6 times that of ordinary people.

At this time, he didn't need to look with his eyes to detect the footsteps of those pitch-black humanoid monsters patrolling back and forth around the bedside from far and near, and quickly retreating after knocking over the bedside table.

"These monsters' eyesight in the 'dark' is far weaker than I thought."

Without a doubt, this is absolutely good news for Jason.

He has more options to deal with the situation in front of him.

Of course, Jason hasn't forgotten the 'gap' just now.

What's that?

Is it part of this 'Door to Death'?

Or something strange that broke in?

And also!

Who will be the last person to enter here?

That kind of punch is really powerful!

Jason thought, then, shaking his head.

There are just too few clues.

He simply couldn't judge.

Even, it can be said that the only clue is the 48-49 shoes.

It is not common for people to have such a pair of feet.

Moreover, the figure is necessarily tall and muscular.

Tall, muscular ...... Well?

Subconsciously, Jason thought of Arras.

Of course it can't be Arras.

But what if it's Arras's mother?

Or is it ...... Arras's grandfather!

Almost as soon as he thought of Grandpa Arras, a flash of inspiration flashed through Jason's mind.

Arras's grandfather chose to live in seclusion in 'Nung Thane'.

And there is an 'anomaly' of this level under the 'shelter' in Ngong Thanh!

Jason wouldn't believe it was a coincidence.

A strong man who can use the 'fist of peace' to usher in a new century, will those organizations, forces, or individuals who have entered the new century not have the slightest policy of vigilance and response?

It's impossible to think about it on your toes.

Also, why did Arras's mother stay away from 'Ang Thane' after she got married and gave birth to Arras?

Some side peeculae came to Jason's mind, and he quickly deduced a picture of Arras's grandfather being the enemy of the world, and after stepping into the 'trap', Arras's mother had to leave the country.

If this is the case, will the death of Arras's father be what it seems?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he died early after being violently beaten by Arras's mother.

But Jason still believes that the key points will not be so simple.

Then, Jason subconsciously thought of Arras.

Is Arras safe now?

Jason asked himself, and then, quickly, came up with an answer.

Arras should be safe, not only because she is strong enough, but also because of Ett Dermon and Esther.

Aitdemund is smart and cautious.

Esther is improvised.

Especially the latter, Jason has seen the power of it.

When the three of them are together, there is naturally no problem.

Call.

Thinking of this, Jason breathed a sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes again.

He was waiting for the next dawn.

Before that?

He'll recharge his batteries.

Reasonable distribution will allow you to get twice the result with half the effort.

Jason is convinced of this.

Therefore, at this time, while relaxing his body, he started his battle summary in his mind, thinking about the gains and losses in the previous series of battles.

Strength doesn't happen overnight.

What is needed is perseverance at all times.

Jason understood this early on.

And, that's what he did.

Of course, he hasn't forgotten to make the most of his talents.

"Satiety, add some points!"

Jason looked at the list of skills and secret arts, which were still at the basic level, and only needed to be satiety to improve [Spike].

For Jason, who already has 381 points of satiety at the moment, it is only 8 points of satiety, which is naturally nothing.

[Thrust (Beginner): 'Juggernaut' Avent created a skill based on the understanding of the spear in the barracks and the skills of some assassin schools for short swords and daggers, but the 'talented' you have made some improvements to make it more suitable for yourself, effect: When holding a sword or knife weapon, consume a little physical strength and perform a blessing attack with agility +0.4. 】

……

Knives?

Jason frowned.

However, Jason then furrowed his brow.

His swordsmanship talent should be excellent, but he has been using the knife for a long time, so the swordsmanship talent unconsciously begins to guide the swording talent, otherwise, how can [Thrust] have the evaluation of 'talented', and there is a mark when 'holding a sword or knife weapon'?

All this shows that he is very talented.

Of course, all this was achieved on the basis of his perseverance and perseverance.

Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you can't do it.

[Spike] entry level to proficient, need 12 points of fullness, no need for the excitement of eating, Jason once again chose to upgrade.

There are no more changes to the [Spike] that reaches the proficiency level, only the additional agility has been increased to 0.5.

To reach the Mastery level, you need 16 points of Satiety and 1 point of Excitement of Food.

"Not bad."

Feeling the harmony of knowledge and body, Jason commented.

The change in 0.5 agility is significant enough.

At this moment, he is only 3.5 agility, and with this 0.5, he can burst out with 4 times the speed of ordinary people in an instant.

Then, naturally, Jason thought.

"If only there were such blessings with bare hands!"

"With [War Paint. Pruth. Griffin. With the blessing of the Shadow Forging Technique] basic effect and the inherent talent [Dayhunt], my fists will be faster and more powerful. ”

"It's the same way around!"

"Faster will make my knife sharper!"

Jason unconsciously fell into deep thought.

And in the days that followed, he was thinking and hunting for food.

Most of the time thinks.

At dawn, go out hunting.

Time passed day by day.

Jason can't be sure if the time here is different from the outside world, but his days on the main quest go by day by day.

And the idea of making your fists faster and your knives sharper?

It's also being realized little by little.

Although Jason was clueless at first, he was a brave person to try, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would open [Daytime Hunt] and cast [Thrust].

The first time, although his arm was twisted directly into a twist and his chest collapsed directly, he relied on his strong talent and tried persistently 20 times, and finally let him find some tricks.

Then, after 30 more exercises, after the heart burst 30 times, there were finally some changes on the panel.

[Thrust (Skilled): 'Juggernaut' Avent created a skill based on the spear in the barracks, as well as some assassin schools for short swords and daggers, but the 'talented' you have greatly improved it to make it more suitable for you, effect: Whether you are holding a sword, a knife weapon, or a bare hand, you can consume a little stamina and perform an agility +0.5 blessing attack. 】

……

The same [War Paint. Pruth. Griffin. There is also a new change in the Shadow Forging Technique, where a parenthesis appears after the word 'hand-to-hand combat', which is particularly standard for the words 'holding a knife'.

Of course, the biggest change is the talent [Daytime Hunting].

[Daylight Hunt: Warpaint's unique talent for breathing is integrated into your soul; When you are in daylight, sunlight and other environments, you will get a special effect of +0.2 for all attributes, and +10% of your stamina, energy, and injury recovery speed, and you can consume 10%-100% of your stamina proportionally for a high-speed attack with agility +0.1-1; When you charge for 3 seconds while stationary, you gain +0.1 extra Strength and Dexterity, and when you activate the maximum daytime hunt and activate the skill 'Thrust', your Agility Blessing will stack and gain an additional +0.1 Agility Boost (only for one duration) in your next attack! 】

……

Increased stamina, energy, and injury recovery speed by 5%.

[Daytime Hunt] and [Spike] stack as desired.

There is also an additional +0.1 effect on the next attack when the maximum cost is consumed.

Jason was satisfied.

However, when I saw the annotation that only lasted once, I couldn't help but frown.

You know, with his talent, even if he consumes 100% of his physical strength, he still has the strength to attack after that.

To put it simply, it seems that only once again Jason is too little.

If only you could come a few more times......

I'll be faster!

Thinking of this, Jason's eyes lit up.

Then, he was once again in his previous preoccupation state.

Hunting and further altering Dayhunt.

And just when Jason was strengthening himself without distraction, the underground of the 'shelter' in Ang Thanh was solemn.

The war ended a week earlier.

Ending with the complete failure of the 'Temple', the 'Night Stalker' showed its strength to the entire new century, especially when some people found out that many of the people of the 'Temple' had disappeared into thin air, leaving only a few unimportant people, and their hearts could not help but rise in fear.

Get you back!

Everyone thinks it's revenge from the 'Night Stalker' Court.

The 'Night Stalker Court' has no explanation.

They need such misunderstandings to buy time.

They need a chance to get themselves back on their feet.

They were happy to see such a misunderstanding.

Even, in the shadows.

Io. Kate is very good at this method, and the entire Kate family began to exert force, making everything confusing, and at the same time, began to receive the remaining wealth of the 'Temple'.

For a full week, Io. Kate didn't rest.

He's busy with that.

In the same way, the old butler Dahl. Kate, young son Mundy. Kate didn't rest either.

The busyness will continue.

However, today, they took the time to tidy up their clothes and stand here with a solemn face.

The same is true of Dybala and Siba.

The two of them stood there quietly in cloaks and supper masks.

Io. Kate stepped forward, and the three stood side by side.

Avante?

He turned down the invitation of three old friends, and just stood in the corner wearing a mask, looking at the tombstone with sad eyes.

Jason (??? —？？？ ）

Originally, the tombstone engraved the date of death as YA90.9.22, which was the day Jason disappeared, but his son insisted that Jason was still alive, so the date was erased.

And the date of birth?

No one knows, so it's replaced with a question mark.

Therefore, this tombstone looks a bit ridiculous.

Especially with the following words-

Arras: Let's talk about sparring together.

Kuya: I'd like to treat you to dinner.

Aster: I'm sure you'll come back.

Aitdemon: Fate? I'm ready to break him.

The four people who have the best relationship with Jason have written their own words below.

This makes the tombstone look less and less serious.

If you want to talk about serious words, there is only that sentence-

The Great Night Stalker, Eternal Talon 13.

"Night stalker, Talon."

Avant whispered.

Eventually, he shook his head.

Ettemon and Esther stood side by side, and the latter's insistence made this funeral without a bouquet, and only an overall meeting and conversation after the Great War remained.

Under the gaze of 'Jason'.

This is also what Esther asked.

"What are you going to do?"

Aether Dermon asked Esther.

"Learn the sword, get married, have children."

Esther said succinctly.

Learn the sword and make yourself strong.

Get married, leave no regrets.

Having a baby, just in case.

There was no need for more explanation, and Ett Dermon instantly understood Esther's thoughts.

"I heard that Ms. Jennifer is good?"

Aitdemund wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

"Hmm."

"Very good, and with a sense of justice."

Esther nodded, then turned to look at Atemon and asked, "What about you?" ”

Aitdemon, who had wanted to liven up the atmosphere, fell silent under such questioning.

He couldn't face it with a laugh.

Because, this is under the gaze of 'Jason'.

A man who died in his place.

After a full two second pause, Aitdermon took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"I want to work hard to complete everything I can accomplish and learn everything I can learn, and if I don't have enough talent, I will use a hundred times the effort and time to pile up, believe in the brilliance of 'greatness', and be ready to entrust 'hope' to the future at any time."

"When I came to the end, I could laugh with Jason and say that this moment of non-stop struggle was really a freedom that I had never had before—until the time of parting, when he was out of this world."

As he spoke, Ettemon looked at the 'tombstone' again.

It was Jason who taught him to break his fate with practical actions.

And he?

Naturally, it's going all out.

With once, twice, three times!

The fourth time?

He's ready.

Esther glanced at her friend.

"Jason isn't dead."

He emphasized.

"Of course."

Ettemon replied with a smile.

On the other side of the 'tombstone', Patsy and Danvers in a black dress stood with Kratos, Logan and Emma, while the old couple stood behind their three children.

"Emma, this is not a funeral, no need to grieve."

Mr. and Mrs. Edison comforted the girl who was a little overwhelmed.

Thinking that the other party had been in a coma for several days and had forgotten many things, the eyes of the two old men showed more pity.

"Hmm."

Emma nodded, and stood obediently behind Kratos and Logan.

She doesn't remember much, but she knows Kratos and Rogan well.

When she woke up, the two of them were also by her side.

Coupled with a similar age, this makes her unconsciously more inclined to stay by the two of them.

"Have the adoption procedures been completed?"

Danvers asked Patsy.

"It's not hard."

"It's just that this war has destroyed too many things, although Xavier School for Gifted Teens has been rebuilt, the database no longer exists, and Emma can't remember too many things, so it's hard to trace her origins."

Patsy said regretfully.

"Everything will be fine."

Danvers comforted his friend.

Patsy nodded, affirming her friend's statement.

Then, gently stroke your bulging belly.

"Stark, you have a sister whose name is Emma."

Such words have not been hidden from the deaf Kratos and Logan.

Kratos' unsmiling face had an extra smile and quickly disappeared, but Logan and Emma saw it.

"Can I stay?"

Emma asked delightedly.

"Of course, of course!"

"Aunt Patcy has already said that you will be little Stark's sister, and you will be our relatives, our family."

Logan replied happily.

"Great."

"It's wonderful."

"No ...... happens"

"No accidents!"

The little witch was a little incredulous, she felt that all this seemed to be an illusion, and she was about to say something subconsciously, but before the words could be spoken, she was interrupted by Kratos.

Kratos turned around, but his young face was full of seriousness and seriousness.

He said to Emma with an oath.

"Any accident will be stifled by me, I swear by Kratos's name, anyone who dares to destroy my family and harm my family, I will definitely kill it, even if it is a god, no exception!"

"Me too."

Logan chimed in.

"It's wonderful."

Emma hugged the two people who were supposed to be younger brothers, but were treated as older brothers by her.

I hope this moment will always be in my mind!

I want to protect my home, too!

She thought silently to the bottom of her heart.

This scene, Avante, Aitdemon, and Esther saw it.

Io. Kate, the old housekeeper, and the young son Mundy. Kate saw it.

Dybala and Shiba saw it.

Clark and Litas saw it.

Many members of the Brotherhood, Hydra, saw it.

The child's sincerity was infectious, and they couldn't help but smile a little.

"That's what we're here for!"

Dybala said, and everyone around him nodded.

But there are two who don't.

Arras, Kuya.

From the moment they entered, the two ladies looked at each other, imposing and unyielding.

"I'm qualified to stand here."

"He approves of it."

Kuya pointed to Jason's tombstone and declared his position.

As a member of the 'Holy Serpent Society', she is not qualified to appear here.

But she had to be here again.

So, she needs an identity.

Lovers of 'Talon 13' are naturally the best choice.

Arras didn't respond to the other party, just swept his gaze, and focused all his attention on the 'tombstone' and the 'door' that had long been decayed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Such an attitude made Kuya feel that she was being ignored.

"I admit that you have a special relationship with Jason and deserve to be standing closer to the 'tombstone.'"

"But, you can't overtake me."

Kuya insisted on her identity.

This time Arras finally spoke.

"You think Jason is dead?"

Arras asked.

"Of course not!"

"13 is immortal, of course not dead!"

Kuya retorted directly.

"Well, you don't grow old or die."

Arras repeated the phrase, then turned and walked out.

"Arras?"

Esther

"I'm going to practice."

Arras said.

She can't wait.

Mom said that fists can break time and space!

She's going to work towards that goal!

She wants to break time and space and go to Jason.

Tread, stomp.

In a firm and powerful step, the tall figure of Arras quickly disappeared.

Only Kuya, who was stunned in place, was left.

"Immortal, immortal, immortal......"

Kuya muttered distractedly.

13 Immortal, but what about her?

She's just an ordinary person.

How did she survive the washes of time.

If、If 13 comes back。

But she's already dying, I'm afraid she won't even have the courage to see him!

No!

Nothing like this can happen!

I won't let you get away with it!

Kuya looked at the back of Arras, and did not linger any longer, she left quickly, and after returning to the ground, she directly dialed Harrow's communicator.

"Hello, do you know where the Fountain of Youth, the Mermaid, the Sigh of the Archangel, and the Blood of Hydra are?"

The same is not enough.

She had to have more options.

On the other side, Harrow sighed.

He knew that something like this would happen.

But he was powerless to stop it.

With a heartfelt sigh, Harrow said.

"I don't know the whereabouts of these 'anomalies', you need to find them yourself."

"I don't have accurate information here, though."

"At the end of the sea is Hydra's lair."

"The end of the sea?"

"Got it."

After Kuya finished speaking, he hung up the communicator and began to make a preliminary plan.

And underground after the departure of Arras and Kuya, this meeting continued.

Without Arras and Kuya, such gatherings are much easier.

Especially Kratos, Logan, and Emma here.

"Isn't Jason dead?"

Emma asked in a whisper.

"Of course."

"Jason doesn't grow old or die."

"How could you die?"

Logan replied in the affirmative.

Emma looked at Kratos.

"Hmm."

Kratos nodded vigorously.

Emma nodded.

She believed the words of the two elder brothers, and since the two elder brothers said that Jason was immortal, then Jason must be immortal.

And then......

Emma passed out again.

"Emma, Emma, what's wrong with you?"

Kratos grabbed his sister, and Logan shouted from the side.

Patsy and Danvers immediately ran over.

So did Aether Dermon and Esther.

The crowd gathered around Emma.

"Doctor."

Esther shouted directly.

Among the people who came here, there were doctors.

Moreover, he is also the doctor who once treated Emma.

The doctor beat the drum again in his heart, but his face was calm.

"Don't worry."

"Everything has me!"

The doctor said.

Looking at the calm doctor, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment-

Drip, drip!

Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded.

Then, Aitdemon, Aster, Io. Kate's communicator sent a message in no particular order.

A missile with a 'nuclear warhead' is speeding towards Aung Shing.

The three of them sneered almost in no particular order.

"Sure enough, it came."

Io. Kate squinted, glanced at Ett Dermon and Esther, and gave the order directly to Kyle.

Kyle didn't show up, not for nothing.

The colonel has been waiting.

Not only did he have to intercept the missile, but he also had to find out from where it was launched.

The 'Night Stalker Court' is definitely not a good old man who can't fight back.

They pay attention to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!

"Prepare to intercept!"

"Start tracking!"

Kyle gave the order.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

However, his adjutant suddenly exclaimed at this time-

"Huh!"

"Someone!"

"Someone is in the way of the missile with a 'nuclear warhead' on it!"

With such an exclamation, the picture was directly transmitted.

Kyle saw a tall, muscular lady with a somewhat resemblance to Arras's face standing in mid-air, with a blue coat and shoulder armor on both sides, a white bandage wrapped around her left hand, and a bracer guard on her right hand, which covered most of the place, but still showed a scar above her chest.

The lady noticed the prying eyes, and she turned her head.

"Tell the boy named Jason."

"I approve of him."

After saying such words, she turned and threw a punch.

The punch came out, and the brilliance suddenly exploded.

The sun in the sky was bright for a few minutes at this moment.

And then—

Rumble!

Huge mushroom clouds, appearing in the sky.

But before the mushroom cloud could spread, it disappeared without a trace in the endless light.

Call!

The wind blows.

The figure in the sky also disappeared.

All that was left was the blue, cloudless sky.

Quiet and peaceful.

And, the sun is shining.

Ang Cheng, bathed in it.
