Berserker made a motion as if grabbing air, then pulled back.
Alia’s body, controlled by the Supre of Water, was pulled back with him.
"Don’t get hasty. We need to fight carefully," he said, looking up.
"Fight? You?" Laplace sneered. "The only ones who can fight here are that Loved One and this little one I killed already. The rest of you are useless. What can even a dead Supre like you do between battles of behemoths?"
Berserker froze.
Then his expression twisted into a crazed grin.
"I’ll show what a dead Supre can do."
He stepped forward, but a hand stopped him.
"Why are you stopping ?" Berserker asked.
"You’re only early Stage 6 in that body. It’s not enough to fight him head on. Even gathering strength from the elentals here will take too long for you. Just support from the back," the Supre of Water said firmly.
Berserker’s eyes narrowed. "I don’t want protection from a bitch like you. And if you are doing this to protect your Loved One, just call that bastard whose whore you’ve beco."
"Hmm?" Laplace tilted his head, a smirk spreading across his face. "Infighting? Between you two at that? Interesting."
A voice called from one of the Ancient Dragons floating above. "Since he is dead, there’s a limit to how much mory he can retain. Seems like he forgot a lot."
Laplace nodded. "Ah, that explains it. I was wondering why he called her of all people a bitch—"
"Shut up, Laplace. Not another word from you." The Supre of Water snarled.
Berserker frowned, confused by their words.
Before he could ask, Arthur muttered, "Singularity—"
"Don’t use your Singularity yet," the Supre of Water interrupted.
Then her voice echoed in his mind. Work with Alia and Percival to rescue Felix’s body. If you hurry, Alia should be able to revive him. That will give you a chance to kill this bastard. Only after Felix is revived should you use your Singularity to help Felix.
She spoke aloud at the sa ti. "I will bring reinforcents. Until then, hold on."
"Running away?" Laplace taunted.
"My Loved One is enough to handle you."
"Bold words for a coward who only knows how to run."
"Says the one so afraid that most of his focus is on sealing that boy," the Supre of Water sneered.
Laplace fell silent.
Alia’s eyes changed.
The blue hue disappeared, replaced by her familiar blood-red color. She could now control her body again.
Above them, three Ancient Dragons hovered.
"This is a headache," muttered the first dragon, Aerion.
In the center, a transparent cube floated.
Inside, the frozen clone of Neo was suspended.
One Ancient Dragon had stopped the clone’s ti.
Another fed information to the clone that was then given to Neo, making the Site appear normal.
The last Ancient Dragon had sealed the Site and a large portion of area around it into an impenetrable barrier, preventing anyone from leaving or communicating outside.
"Should we let the Supre go? We can try to trap her consciousness here," asked the second dragon, nad Velion.
"Let her be. Her main body can still move. Sealing a part of her consciousness won’t do anything," said the third dragon, nad Kaelus.
"I must say, was it necessary for all of us to co here? From what I see, there’s only one Stage 6 God down there. Berserker is Stage 6 too, but he is only early Stage 6. Laplace should be enough for them. Even weakened, he was once the Supre of Destruction," Velion said.
He almost added ’until he tried to fight Hades,’ but stopped himself, knowing Laplace could hear them.
"If ’I’ is correct, the three down there will beco Supres in the future. They’re all very dangerous," Aerion said.
"All three have a fate of Supre? Now that I think about it, they’re all from the sa world. Even this Heavenbreaker, the Godkiller, and the Sword Saint. How can so many powerful beings co from one planet?" Velion asked.
"I checked their ho planet before coming here," Aerion replied. "The tapestry of Fate of our universe is tangled around their world. Most talented people from across the universe transferred and made to be are born there."
"Forcefully pulling talented people into their world... It must be Hades’ doing," Kaelus said suddenly.
"Seems like he foresaw his demise and made sure a new generation of heroes would be born after him. He must have brought them together on Earth so they could find and befriend each other easily," Aerion explained.
"Such a disgusting way of controlling other lives without their consent. It’s just like him to do that," Kaelus snorted.

Neo’s POV
Several hours before Laplace arrived at Whiterun Site.
Neo sat in the control room of his ship. Jack and Moraine were with him.
"So, you’re saying you need to go to Ilyana’s planet?" Neo asked, leaning back against his seat.
Jack nodded. "Yes. I just got news her world is under attack. I need to go help her."
Neo tapped the armrest. "Then I’ll co with you—"
Before he could finish, a voice rang in his ears.
Rember our promise. Now is the ti. Help my Loved One.
Neo froze.
That voice was familiar.
He looked around, and noticed the increased number of elentals.
That was the voice of the Space Elentals, Neo realized.
A frown ford on his face.
He looked at Jack and said, "I’m sorry. I had a prior arrangent with the Supre of Space. He just asked to go to the Supre Leader of Forgotten Suns and help him right now. But don’t worry I will send my clone with you."
"I don’t mind it," Jack said, then grinned. "Besides, I just made that huge skeleton head my summon. My strength is pretty high now because of it. I might finish the fight without your help."
Neo nodded slowly.
He had found about how Jack’s Divinity worked a few months ago.
Once Jack’s overall strength reached a certain level, his Necromancy Divinity would evolve on its own.
Right now, because of the skeleton head they had discovered, Jack’s strength had soared.
He had reached the peak of Stage 4.
At any mont, he could advance to Stage 5.
But he didn’t have the ti to advance yet.
Neo said, "Go with my clone, and make the breakthrough on the way. My clone will protect you during that ti."
He paused, then added, "Also, if things get dangerous, my clone will send Ilyana’s planet and everyone there into my Cosmos."
Jack gave a thumbs up. "Sounds good."
Neo stood, raised his hand, and materialized a second spaceship out of thin air.
It looked sleek, built with the sa design he had copied before.
Jack climbed in with his usual casual confidence.
Neo’s clone entered right after him.
Moraine watched quietly. Her eyes followed the two as they left.
Jack grinned at Neo one last ti. "Take care, and don’t disappear again."
"Worry about yourself." Neo rolled his eyes, but he had a smile on his face.
The spaceship lifted off, its engines glowing bright.
In the next mont, it vanished into the distance, disappearing into warped space.
Neo exhaled slowly.
Then he turned to the elentals around him and spoke. "Guide to your Loved One."
At once, faint whispers filled the air.
Follow with your spaceship.
Neo nodded.
He sat down again, and Moraine settled into her seat nearby.
The ship began to move.
They passed through stars, glowing dust, and warped tunnels of light as the Space Elentals gave him directions.
Hours passed quickly.
A whole day slipped by.
Then, without warning, Moraine’s eyes widened.
At the sa ti, the elentals cried out.
"Sothing is coming at high speed!" Moraine shouted.
Neo barely had ti to look forward when a bolt of lightning tore through the darkness.
It slamd into the front of his spaceship.
The impact shook everything.
The ship spun wildly as alarms blared.
Neo braced himself against the controls while Moraine was thrown against her seat.
