"Bahahahahahaha! Even if you kill me, your world will be devastated for good!"

Pissed off, Frankenstein stab the darkspear right to Crombel's chest.

"Urgh!"

"Despite these menaces' vicious tantrum to get a good feast of you, I found the idea rather disgusting and therefore unacceptable. But you give me no choice. Rest assured, these fellas will show you a great hospitality."

"Kraaah!"

Frankenstein grips the darkspear tightly while looking at it, and, "This thing was a nuisance already, with all the recent power-binging.. but now it's basically become a loose cannon with Crombel's soul and particles of the bloodstone. I'm not sure when I can pull this thing out again if it stays this way." And with that he withdraws the darkspear.

"Frankenstein." Lunark made an announcement, "My people confirmed that Crombel wasn't lying. They detected manmade nuclear missiles getting ready for launch."

"There's no time. There's no time at all. Even if the third elder and I try everything to infiltrate the missile launch, it's impossible to eliminate the lock placed by Crombel. At this rate.."

Tao remembered Raizel got back home badly wounded earlier, and he couldn't let that happened again.

'No. I cannot give up like this. I must stop those missiles, even if I can stop only one of them.' "Ugh.."

Tao bite his lips, his nose is bleeding due to the tension he felt.

'Incredible. I can't even keep track of his hands. Not to mention he can actually visually and cognitively process millions of data that flash on and off the screen in a matter of seconds..' Ikhan thought.

"Nuclear missiles? Are you saying there are nuclear missiles waiting to be launched?" one journalist asking furiously.

"Maybe that man's lying."

"Maybe."

"We doubt he is lying. We cannot provide you with every detail about that man, but he attempted to eradicate mankind with another means."

Tao finish his hacking with a slam to his laptop, surprising the kids.

"Tao?"

"What's wrong?"

"Damn it.."

"Luckily, the forces of men that raised Crombel's bases managed to take over the bases and seized the missiles before launch. And we managed to shut down most of the missiles as well. However.."

"We couldn't stop two of the missiles from launch."

"True. And as of now.. there is no way to control those two missiles. One of them could not be sabotaged in the first place. Now there is nothing we can do."
