"If you try to move even an inch, I will tear your limbs off."

The moment Carter's voice sounded, everyone who was about to move instantly stopped.

Seeing that they everyone froze up, Carter averted his gaze at Greg and started to talk in an ice-cold tone.

"Last warning. Give me back the key, or even your friends will end up dying."

*Swish!*

*Swish!*

Instantly as those words came out from his mouth, the two men who were killing the very last members of the Scepter Family, moved and appeared above Greg's and Mila's group.

Watching that one man was above him while the other one was above Mila's and Bex's group, Greg looked at Carter and said, "Even if I give it back to you, you won't be able to touch it."

When Carter heard this, he frowned slightly and asked, "What should that even mean?"

Greg knew he shouldn't tell Carter about the Creator and its Blessings, so he was about to say a lie when suddenly a loud shout came from the side.

"What the f*ck are you thinking you are doing with my family?!"

*BOOM!*

With a great explosion, suddenly Night's bloody figure flew from the side, and with a powerful hit, he punched Carter right on his face.

"!"

Greg seeing that the one attacking Carter was Night, looked confused and looked toward the direction where he came from.

"Where did Hogan and Cloud go? Did he beat both if them?", thought Greg with confusion and looked back at Night, however, as he did, his eyes widened.

To everyone's great surprise, the moment Carter got punched, his body didn't budge but simply floated where he was.

"Huh?"

Night seeing that his punch didn't do anything, not even a single injury, frowned and was about to hit him again when Carter started to talk.

"It seems the Scepter Family is still as hot-tempered as before."

*BAM!*

Shortly after he said that, on Carter's body an armor, which was made out of mud appeared, making Night's hand to stuck in it instantly.

"What?"

Surprised by the sudden change, Night tried to pull his hand away, but no matter how hard he tried, his hand wouldn't come out of the muddy surface.

"Then if I can't pull it, I will absorb it!", said Night with an angered face and activated his power.

Instantly an abyss-colored black hole appeared around his hand, and with a suctioning force, it started to pull Carter's mud armor into it.

"I see... So this is how it feels to be attacked by the great Absorver's power. Interesting.", mumbled Carter without the slightest change on his face and instantly spun around and kicked Night on the waist.

"!"

*BAM!*

Not foreseeing that his arm would suddenly get free, Night got surprised and got blasted away instantly.

As this happened, Carter looked at one of his men and said, "Finish with him."

"Yes, Sir!"

Instantly, the man above Mila's group vanished into thin air, going after Night in a flash.

As this happened, suddenly from Jonathan's body, a scary presence broke out, and after he let the key go he started to open his eyes slowly.

"Jonathan! You are finally awake!"

Carter who was looking toward the distance where Night had been blasted away, instantly felt a scary presence on his side, so he turned his head to see what happened.

"Huh? He reached the God rank at such a young age?", thought Carter with surprise as he looked at Jonathan, but when he felt the time powers around him, his eyes turned serious.

"I need to kill him! It would be way too dangerous to let him alive!"

*Swish!*

With that said, Carter waved his hand without hesitation and sent several curvy solidified mud blades at Jonathan.

Greg seeing this wanted to move to help Jonathan defend, however, to his surprise, Jonathan himself was way faster than him.

With fast step to the side, Jonathan let the first attack to pass barely next to his trunk, while he waved his hand and with a gentle white light around his palm, he defended against the other ones.

"Strong!", thought Greg with shock, as he watched Jonathan fight against God rank attacks like they were nothing.

"If I would have to fight against him now, I think I shouldn't be able to beat him.", said Joe with a serious expression.

Greg knew how Joe was currently feeling. Both him and Jonathan was a white Soul Stone holder, yet even like that, Jonathan was way before him in ranks than he was.

And what was even harder to believe, that Jonathan was stronger even though he was an extremely rare element user, while Joe was not.

Time power was simply way too complicated than thunder and lightning itself, so logically, surpassing ranks with such powers should be very hard.

Yet, even with such Guardian powers, Jonathan was still able to reach the God rank way faster than Joe. It was shocking, and terrifying at the very same time.

"I think he should have a similar power that I have, instead of letting him surpass ranks for a limited time like me, it lets him cultivate and understand his power way faster than average. That should be the only explanation."

Hearing this Greg nodded in agreement, but thought, "Or if he is not a reincarnated genius from another timeline."

While they thought about this, on the side Bex looked at Mila and started to whisper.

"This is a great chance to attack. He is busy dealing with Jonathan, so we can surprise him from the back."

Mila hearing this nodded and glanced toward where Emma and the others were standing.

Seeing the man from the Voodoo family, who was watching every movement of theirs from above, she started to think.

After thinking for a while, she looked at Bex on her side and asked, "Can you make him to fell to the ground? Even if it's only for a brief moment, it would be perfect."

Bex hearing what Mila asked, started to think, and after a small while he nodded.

"It should be feasible yes."

"Perfect, then do it!"

Kinda feeling what Mila tried to do, Bex moved and with a fast and strong pull, he aimed at the man above the skies.

Feeling that he was targeted, the man turned his gaze at Bex, and seeing he was about to attack, he snorted.

"Don't even think about it!"

*Swish!*

Instantly, in the man's hand, a golden spear appeared, and with a powerful seeing, he swept toward Bex and Mila.

However, his weapon could travel even a meter to the side, because suddenly a black staff with golden carvings on it appeared before it and blocked his weapon's path.

"You!"

Looking for only to see Greg smiling at him calmly, the man wanted to do something, but just before he could have had the opportunity, several crimson arrows appeared above his head.

"Damn!"

Knowing he was now in a dire situation, the man flew to the side to avoid the arrows, however, just as he did, the arrows changed direction and started to follow him.

"What the?"

Surprised by this change, the man didn't hesitate and started to fly here and there, but no matter where he went, the arrows still followed him.

"Okay, that is enough!", said the man angrily, and turned around to counter the arrows, but as he did, he was surprised to see that the arrows had vanished and now were right above his head.

"!"

*BAM!*

With a great explosion, the man flew down end blasted into the ground, forming a huge pit below his body instantly.

"Bleargh!"

The instant Mila saw this, her eyes brightened, and said, "Thanks, Bex!"

*Swish!*

*BOOM!

Instantly, with huge shaking, hit boiling lava erupted from below the earth and engulfed the still lying man on the ground.

"Yes! It works -, huh?"

Just as Emma wanted to celebrate her win, suddenly her expression froze up.

The man who should be burnt alive in the lava suddenly appeared before her out of thin air and thrust his spear right toward her heart.

Because everything happened way to fast that she believed, Mila was not able to move an inch and let the spear to hit her.

"Watch out!"

However, just as the man's weapon was about to pierce her heart, a familiar sound came from the side and the next second she has been pushed away.

"!"

*Squash!*

*BAM!*

Rolling on the ground, Mila's body crashed into a rock in the distance.

"Argh..."

Clenching her head which was hit by the impact, Mila looked up slowly, however the moment she raised her head, her eyes contracted.

Just before her, what she could see was the man holding his spear with a grin, while at the end of his weapon, a girl was pierced right through her chest.

Realizing who she was, Mila's expression paled even more and with a trembling voice, she shouted instantly.

"EMMA!!"
