The Mikados saw the shocking attack and barely managed to evade it.

Jade coughed as she looked around. Half of the team she brought in from the EAA were dead from the sudden attacks that occurred inside. The speed itself was too fast! Her team could evade an explosion and retreat as it did! But that attack was at another level.

"Stevenson!" Jade shouted in fear.

"I'm... alright..." Stevenson pushed out and glanced around.

"But... how? How are we alive? That attack should have gotten us!"

"STEVENSON!" Jade shouted in panic and it was only then that Stevenson noticed.

At the far end of the ship, Jade saw Meryl standing up. Her two arms were burnt. She then began to fall.

"Meryl!" Jade Mikado shouted and rushed towards Meryl and caught her before she fell.

She had used a great amount of energy to counter the power of Garenjazz's punch and was in a state where she would die if left untreated! It had been a long time since Meryl had fallen into such a state.

Stevenson quickly took out the injection and stabbed it into Meryl.

The energy contained in that small injection was immense and could have caused a huge explosion. But all that energy was used to refill the bodies of the Unlocked. fr eewebnovel.com

"Let's get out of here!" Stevenson shouted.

"Mikados!" Another cry was heard on the other end. It was the Indigos!

"You were here too?!" Lynda shouted in shock.

"What do you mean... 'too'?" Stevenson frowned.

"We were all in this direction! Each of our teams was here! We survived because Cliff was close to us!"

"It's luck! The enemy is lucky! Retreat! More than half of all our soldiers are dead!" Cliff gave his grave report.

The Twelve Disciples were seen at the distance rushing out.

Half of them carried the other half and Alean was sprinting to the front. freeweb(n)ovel

"Go!" Cliff ordered.

"I can't believe I might die in this place! Get Alean out! I need a few to follow me! We have to check with the Carleans!" Cliff rushed out towards the back but was careful and fearful of what would happen to the parents of Seeker.

After performing the punch, the body of Garenjazz in the three dimensions paused and froze. This was because Seeker and the rest had begun to attack Garenjazz!

The first punch had been thrown but they quickly overwhelmed Garenjazz with many attacks to stop his connection and iteration that appeared in the three dimensions.

"Stop him!" Seeker ordered as he harnessed powerful sound energy that crashed on Garenjazz.

BANG!

The powerful force of the crushing sound wrapped around Garenjazz. But Garenjazz did not move and allowed the energy to crash on him.

"What?!"

"You were too impatient. It happens. You threw an attack in haste and didn't control it correctly! They struck each other! Don't worry... It happens." Garenjazz laughed as the attack was too weak to harm him!

The Adult used his strongest slash using the Cutting Room Floor attack that traveled at the speed of light! Garenjazz didn't even move and allowed the blade to make its slash on his neck.

SLASH!

But a strange mystery occurred as the Adult missed his attack! The sword swung out too early!

"Focus guys." Garenjazz laughed.

Lynd combined numerous Paths and created a powerful punch that could imitate the power of Octarion and punched out. He created an imitation of Seeker's Cutting Room Floor to create a lightspeed movement as he maximized endurance and defense.

"Oh?" Garenjazz reached out with his other hand to block the powerful punch.

Garenjazz quickly reached out on the approaching fist and lightly pulled it to the side. There was no expert or precise control. Garenjazz focused so much on his body that his other senses were practically at the same level as Seeker!

But the odds of him reaching out and closing his arm were very accurate!

The Combat Body's frame caught and crushed Lynd's arm!

BOOM!

The power of Lynd erupted out of control and his forearm was broken to pieces!

Garenjazz began to randomly flail his arms without thinking and the force of his Combat Body began to erupt.

But in his luck, the rest were worried that those attacks would breach the three dimensions and all began to fight and sacrifice tremendous energy to keep Garenjazz from flailing!

Back in the three dimensions, Grace opened her eyes.

"...I'm alive?" Grace was stunned. She had just seen the powerful attack charge at her. In those last moments, she underwent a powerful life review. She managed to see things and recall many things of her life and accepted her death.

"...Of course..." A weak and hoarse voice was heard.

Grace turned down and saw the upper body remains of the long-time admirer and rival of Chris. It was one of the Inhumans with the highest potential in the team that she and Chris led. It was Jake.

"Grace!" Chris arrived and stumbled down. He nearly lost his strength as he thought Grace would die. But at the last second, Jake used numerous tech weapons and sacrificed many parts of his body to push Grace away from the direction of the blow. His unlocking allowed him to react and in those final moments where even Chris couldn't move, time slowed down for Jake. It was not a life review. But rather, a state where his thoughts acted and pushed him to do one last thing.

"...See that... Chris...? That's how you save... the girl... you love." Jake laughed.

"Don't move and don't speak! Concentrate on-"

"Don't bother..."

Chris was about to get the injections that could help them recover and provide energy to allow the rapid healing ability of the Unlocked to save the body. But then he heard another familiar voice and turned to the side.

It was his long-time friend, Jonathan. Only the left side of the head, down to his left chest remained. The blood fell and Chris was horrified.

"It's too late... for us. That attack... has something... that ends the life... in us. We can't heal..." Jonathan did his best to speak. His voice was garbled and low.

"Old friend... I think... I found my Skill... I give... good advice, don't I? I advise you... to listen to me... And give Jake his time... to say goodbye to Grace..." Jonathan chuckled.

Chris moved to Jonathan without hesitation.

Grace kneel on the floor and pulled Jake's body close.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I kept using you..." Grace wept.

"No matter what it seemed... you were always... my friend!" Grace's tears began to fall on Jake.

"...It's Ok... You're not like that Tyrant Empress. You...were selfish... but I know that you saw me as a dear friend..."

"I'm sorry... that you could never be more... than a dear friend! I'm so sorry Jake!"

"It's Ok. Don't think that I was unhappy... I was annoyed. But everything I did... and even what I had done, I did willingly. You are always... the beautiful charming Grace that I always loved." Jake smiled.

"You were... pitiful! You always admired me... no matter what!"

"Can't I? I knew... since you married Chris... That you loved him... I knew... that those times we spent together and all... those talks... were just talks between two dear friends... who had... so many things to share. But even if... you used our friendship to get... what you wanted... I did it... because I know at least... the friendship was real. I was alright... in being that guy that would... forever love you. I was alright... even if it was one-sided. I was alright... that I will share this attraction... forever. I was happy for you... Because no matter what... you would always have a friend who loves you. Even if... the world turns its back on you... I was happy... that more than Chris... you would have... me even if I wouldn't... have you. And for me... that made me... happy." Jake turned and made his last gaze to Grace as his vision disappeared.

"Hey, Grace... You were a pastor's kid... right? Can you help me out... with my last prayer?"

"Sure...!"

"Thanks... I already... did this... but I've only started listening to Pastor Eagle... since last week. So this is just... insurance." Jake chuckled.

Grace began to cry her heart out and embraced Jake and began to lead him into a prayer that he often heard her father say.

Halfway through, Grace realized that Jake had already died and she began to apologize for how she treated him. But her many apologies contrasted with the very pure smile that Jake had on even as he died.

On the other side, Chris held on to his best friend. His friend willingly followed him and abandoned the Force of America!

Chris felt his entire body become stiff.

"Jonathan... I..."

"Oh... please... save the last words... A bromance like ours? It... can end without having to say goodbye... I know... I know, Chris. Whatever you have to say... I know... Would a dear friend listen to what I have to say? I'll be dead... in a minute or two..."

"...I am not naming my next kid after you..." Chris chuckled as tears began to fall down his face.

"...Force Seeker... to name his after me." Jake laughed.

"Listen... I think... I know my Skill. I could feel it... There was... something in that attack... that thought me about... zone... I think it's that luck that this Presider has... I can give... good advice... Didn't I give you a few?"

"Yeah... Best advice. You always helped me out..." Chris nodded and smiled. All throughout his career, Jonathan was always there to give him the best advice. Sometimes, the advice would not be logical. One even convinced Chris to pursue Grace at the cost of his career as a secret agent in the Americas.

"Yeah... Strange... right? It was not something... that I had to train in myself... it was a power that only appears... if I gave and helped... others... Listen... Save your kid. Whoever arrives here... go and save your kid..." Jonathan explained.

"Carleans!" Cliff's voice was heard.

"...Poor Cliff..." Chris couldn't help but laugh. They often talked about how his son was grooming Cliff and how he had to live a harsh life. But this inside joke received no response from Jonathan.

"...No goodbyes? But Jonathan... I never even got to say thanks..."
