Episode 158 – The Duel of the War Gods

  The evacuation portals still shimmered across the plains of Planet K11.

  One by one, exhausted agents of the Alpha Organization stumbled through them, their armor scorched and their expressions hollow.

  Behind them, towering screens projected the distant image of Spilri.

  The planet burned.

  Explosions flashed across its surface like stars being born and dying in endless succession.

  The sight was mesmerizing… and horrifying.

  Director Serafina stood near the command console, her eyes locked on the display.

  “I have never seen energy like this,” she murmured.

  Her voice was calm, but the tension in her posture betrayed her unease.

  “Not even during the ancient wars.”

  Nearby, Xyros clenched his fists, his jaw tight.

  “This isn’t a battle anymore,” he said quietly.

  “It’s the end of a world.”

  Doria stared silently at the burning planet.

  Her voice trembled as she spoke.

  “áris…”

  “You’re facing an enemy that only existed in legends.”

  On Spilri, the battlefield had become a wasteland.

  áris and Lim/Azazel clashed high in the sky.

  Every collision between them detonated like a dying star.

  The ground below shattered into enormous craters.

  Mountains collapsed in seconds.

  Rivers evaporated instantly, transforming into massive clouds of burning steam.

  Each impact sent tremors across the entire planet.

  Spilri was breaking apart.

  Back on K11, Lara struggled against Liu’s grip, tears streaming down her face.

  “Leon is still there!”

  Her voice cracked with fear.

  “He won’t survive this!”

  Liu held her shoulders firmly.

  His expression remained steady, but his eyes betrayed his worry.

  “He’s stronger than he looks.”

  He hesitated.

  “But whatever is sealed inside him…”

  “That could kill him.”

  Far from the clash of the two titans, Leon lay collapsed among the shattered ruins.

  His chest rose and fell in ragged breaths.

  His eyes flickered with strange light — flashes of lightning and wolf-like intensity.

  Inside his mind, the voice of Kairós roared louder than ever.

  “NOW DO YOU SEE?!”

  The voice echoed like thunder trapped within a cage.

  “Let me out!”

  “He will destroy everything!”

  Leon trembled violently.

  Tears ran down his face.

  “I can’t…”

  His voice broke.

  “If I let you out… I’ll become the same as him.”

  Above the battlefield, áris unleashed another devastating attack.

  You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

  A blazing torrent of fire erupted from his blade, cutting across the sky and tearing through the horizon.

  Azazel spread his massive wings.

  The flames were swallowed by darkness.

  A moment later, the fire returned — twisted into waves of shadowy energy that extinguished the remaining light.

  The two figures clashed again.

  The sound was deafening.

  Like endless thunder.

  With each collision, thousands of rocks lifted into the air, only to shatter moments later.

  On K11, the observers watched in stunned silence.

  Vander clutched his head in disbelief.

  “No… this can’t be…”

  His voice shook.

  “My ancestors spoke of that name…”

  He swallowed hard.

  “But I never believed it.”

  “Azazel.”

  Nearby, the weakened Goddess Lara struggled to remain standing.

  Sua aparência, outrora radiante, havia se desvanecido em cansa?o e sinais da idade.

  “Eu n?o sabia…”

  Sua voz tremia.

  “Aquele monstro… esteve dentro de mim o tempo todo.”

  Serafina se virou para ela, com um brilho de suspeita nos olhos.

  “Ent?o foi você quem trouxe esse desastre de volta ao universo?”

  Antes que a deusa pudesse responder, Lara deu um passo à frente.

  "N?o!"

  Sua voz ecoou pela camara.

  “Ela também é uma vítima!”

  Uma nova voz subitamente quebrou a tens?o.

  Darian surgiu das sombras.

  Seu olhar era frio enquanto encarava a proje??o de Leon travando sua batalha interna.

  "Eu sempre soube disso", disse ele, amargamente.

  “Leon n?o passava de uma amea?a.”

  “Ele n?o merece a Lara.”

  "Ele vai arruinar todos nós."

  Lara virou-se para ele, furiosa.

  “Cala a boca, Darian!”

  Sua voz embargou-se pela emo??o.

  “Ele está arriscando a vida por todos!”

  Doria olhou para o filho com evidente decep??o.

  “Darian…”

  “Este n?o é o momento para rivalidades.”

  De volta a Spilri, a batalha atingiu um clímax aterrador.

  áris concentrou seu poder em sua espada.

  A arma brilhou cada vez mais intensamente até se assemelhar a um sol nascente.

  Uma imponente coluna de fogo vivo irrompeu do ch?o.

  Em frente a ele, Azazel abriu suas asas em toda a sua extens?o.

  A escurid?o se espalhou, engolindo o próprio céu.

  Luz e sombra colidiram.

  A onda de choque resultante atravessou continentes inteiros.

  Os oceanos evaporaram.

  As montanhas se desfizeram em pó.

  Na K11, todos os agentes e diretores assistiram em silêncio at?nito.

  Jun caiu de joelhos.

  “Spilri n?o pode sobreviver a isso…”

  Sua voz tremia.

  Ao longe, Leon abriu os olhos lentamente.

  Ele observou o confronto titanico se desenrolar acima dele.

  Seu corpo tremia incontrolavelmente.

  Em sua mente, Kairós rugia como uma fera enjaulada.

  “ABRAM OS PORT?ES!”

  “EU QUERO LUTAR!”

  Leon cerrou os punhos.

  Suor e lágrimas se misturavam em seu rosto.

  "N?o…"

  “Eu n?o vou me tornar como você…”

  O céu acima explodiu em uma luz ofuscante.

  A tela ficou completamente branca.
