After the Blast

-

A few of the heroes sustained injuries after the blast.

Kun had shifted into a giant beast to protect the Gang Stars, exposing him to the blast completely. Xinrei had been exposed to the blast, just barely fatally stabbed by Li, and became trapped under the rubble of the former temple. Sungmin had summoned an Ultima Weapon and passed out from the force she used to create a barrier to protect the other Paramounts.

Taeyong saved Xinya by putting a barrier around her after she chased after Xinrei, and left himself exposed after he put a cloud dome around the other members

Taeyong saved Xinya by putting a barrier around her after she chased after Xinrei, and left himself exposed after he put a cloud dome around the other members. And Sungchan suffered the least amount of injuries. His hand had been blasted off, but his Titan body and hardening protected him from the other effects of the blast.

A few seconds after everyone unharmed realized what had happened, they all realized just how much the tables had turned.

The Paramounts all ran to Xinya to make sure she was ok, before they rushed to find Xinrei under the rubble. In the same instance as they ran, Renjun finally emerged from the smoke with Li in his first corrupted form.

"I think it should've been obvious that I'm not one to be taken lightly

"I think it should've been obvious that I'm not one to be taken lightly. I had this planned out from the very start, and none of you noticed or bothered to look through my mind to uncover my tactics. One of you can even see the future and did nothing to stop me. You probably would've been able to prevent this if you did, but now you get to face the consequences of your actions"

Li smirked, seeing how defeated most of the heroes looked.

"Damn it... I could've seen what his motive was, but...I didn't want to go against the laws of time... I just wanted to protect our timeline.... I never expected or wanted this to happen... This is all my fault.. I could've prevented this, just like our big fight we had before we got separated years ago...but I didn't..."

Jaemin fell to his knees, feeling as if Renjun's corruption was all his fault.

"...That doesn't matter. We're going to get hyung back, no matter what"
