DEVIANT

317 Shattered dreams

Blaze yawned as his eyes settled with unnatural calmness as he began walking toward the white-robed man, even though he was in the sky filled with enforcers. His eyes seemed cold as blue flames danced within them.

“Squad zero is responsible for its title. Every member of squad zero should be grateful that Alex even let them live. What we need to do now is not switch sides but prove our worth and give him a reason to trust us again!’ Blaze said as he looked ahead and his eyes were consumed by fierce flames.

Over the years, without Alex Blaze had nothing else to do but to train and create a better version of himself. During that time he managed to raise his ability past the realm of mere mortals and into the Baron level, breaking past the normal limits of man to become a transcendent being.

Bang!

Boom!

Blaze was like a blue phoenix shooting into the skies as countless metal wings detached from Queen and chased after him!

“Show them the strength of the true founding members!” Queen bellowed as she retreated while manipulating her metal wings to aid Blaze.

Pfff!

Blood squirted out from Blaze’s back as the metal wings as they attached to Blaze’s back before getting consumed by his blue flames, giving him actual fiery wings!

.....

Bang!

Blaze’s speed doubled as he raced past the enhancers, closing the distance between him and God’s Wrath in a single breath!

Fast!

Bang!

His wings were used as a weapon slapping away God’s Wrath almost effortlessly but before he could continue the chase his path was blocked by enforcers!

“You dare stand in my path?” I would like to see you try!” Blaze growled furiously as his body shot higher above ground level escaping getting encircled by the enemy forces.

Shatter apart!

Blaze’s eyes burned fiercely as his wings detached, completely consumed by his scorching blue flames!

Kill!

Xiu!

Countless blue fiery blades raced towards, swarming the enemy forces without hesitation! The enforcers pulled up their barriers but somehow the metal feathers pierced through their defensive shells and into their core!

Boom!

Booom!

Boom!

Countless explosions erupted across the sky almost at the same time but even then Blaze remained cold and unmoving as he watched a figure shot towards him from the distance.

“To me!” Blaze commanded and the explosions began gathering around his raised fist, surging around his hand like a hurricane but that was nothing compared to the man racing towards him with his body completely covered in the power of all the elements!

A child dares challenge a god!

Blasphemy!

“The only true God I know is the one who sent you all packing five years ago. Inferior beings like yourself shouldn’t be allowed to make such bold claims. Allow me to put you in your place” Blaze snorted coldly as the blue feathers surged towards his hand as well, twirling with the fire and smoke circling his hand and was no different from a small storm now!

Come!

Boom!

The two clashed and the space around the battlefield twisted and trembled violently as two figures could be seen standing in mid-air with cruel grins on their faces.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Countless blows were thrown, causing constant ripples in the world energy itself. Meanwhile, Blaze threw his hands forward and the blue feathers gathered to form a fiery blue wheel, spinning violently while racing towards God’s Wrath!

Peng!

The blue wheel smashed against an invisible wind barrier but the force of the attack was enough to throw God’s Wrath back and that was all the time Blaze needed to prepare for his next attack!

Boom!

His eyes revealed cruel lights as his hands came close but could not join due to the small blue orb in between them.

Boom!

It seemed everything around Blaze was going to melt away as he gathered all his power and poured it into one small ball of flame the size of a thumb.

“A world protected by the absolute duo is not something you or the entire god sect can destroy,” Blaze said with so much certainty in his eyes one would believe his words in an instant.

The small ball of fierce flames twisted and turned as he seemed to phase in time!

Swooosh!

So fast!

God’s Wrath frowned deeply. So far he had been battling them, he had seen everything they had shown so he wasn’t expecting this sudden burst of strength!

They have been holding back intentionally, simply waiting for this final moment!

Blaze slammed forward, smashing the blue orb into God’s Wrath’s chest, sending him spiraling back hundreds of meters away.

Boom!

The white robe’s figure smashed into numerous buildings before hitting the ground meanwhile Blaze was deadly pale while most of Queen’s metal wings have been burnt out of existence.

Everything they planned and did was dependent on that last hit!

Bang!

“No...” Blaze muttered as he gazed afar and saw the explosion erupting where God’s Wrath should be.

A furious figure in white robes flew out of the rubbles with scorching red eyes. His entire body had the same color as steel, as if his skin was coated in metal.

He gave off a tyrannical aura.

“We lost,” Queen said with a frown as she gazed at the figure ahead.

There was no fear of death in her eyes, instead, it was just regret. Just like God’s Wrath said, Squad zero was created by Alex to accommodate the original core members of the nameless who betrayed him. They had no real authority or anything.

For half a decade now, they have been working really hard to gain his recognition and get pulled out of squad zero. Unfortunately, it seems they will die before achieving such a goal.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

The duo turned and they saw a man with waist-length black hair, dressed in a long black leather jacket and in black gloves.

His eyes were like two black whirlpools spinning violently as if they would consume the entire world if not suppressed.
