Leo walked down the desolate streets, with Fiona and the wolves trailing behind him.
The announcent replayed in his mind, Tatiana's words echoing alongside it.
He glanced at his status interface, where the registration window still hovered. He hadn't selected "yes" yet, but the decision was already made in his heart.
"The strongest… the most adaptable," Leo muttered, his eyes scanning the empty street ahead. "Sounds about right."
His thoughts shifted to Ves. He wondered how she was processing the announcent. He had no doubt she would choose to register, despite the risks.
But what about the others? He couldn't help but think of the survivors who had betrayed him—their faces pale with fear as they fled.
Were they scrambling to join the tournant, hoping it would save them? Or were they cowering, waiting for the apocalypse to swallow them whole?
Leo shook his head, focusing on the path ahead. He knew he shouldn't be worrying about other people, especially a group of people that betrayed him and especially not now that there's a multiversal level free for all battle about to take place on earth in two weeks ti.
"I shouldn't focus on unnecessary things. What matters now is surviving, evolving, and protecting those who matters to ," he thought.
As he neared the residential building complex, he could already feel the tension in the air. It was as if the announcent itself had left a physical mark on the world, a heavy presence that couldn't be ignored.
Not like it hasn't. Leo was aware that a lot of changes are to start taking place very soon. And as Tatiana said, there will be chaos.
"Two weeks, huh?" Leo murmured. "Two weeks to evolve. Two weeks to prepare for the chaos."
He clenched his fists, his gaze hardening as his lips spread thin into a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll be ready."
Arriving at the front of the residential building, Leo greeted by the sight of Ves standing at the entrance.
Even though he was done distance away, he could see the worry on her face and how she was fidgeting slightly.
He couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. He knew that the reason why Ves was the way she is is because of the announcent and because she's worried about him.
He couldn't help but rember what Tatiana said before she left: "I also have a gift for your lover."
A small smile blood on his face when he rembered this. The truth is that he has never really thought of Ves in that... manner.
Ves is beautiful, with her perfect figure, long legs, thighs, beautiful pale face and skin that was supposed to be ruined by the paleness of her zombie side, but rather it enhanced it. Also, her ocean blue eyes and silky black hair that falls over her shoulder.
The fact is that Ves us beautiful, pretty, gorgeous.... But to Leo, she was more like family. Family that has cared and taken care of him.
Yes, Leo rembers catching her in just her panties and seeing that beautiful sight but it was just a honest mistake.
"What sort of stupid thoughts are running around in my head right now?," Leo scolded himself.
"Now's not the ti for this, Leo. You have far more important things to worry about," he said, as he closed his eyes briefly.
He picked up the pace, walking faster to the building, with Fiona and the wolves following behind him.
.....
"Leo," Ves said, letting out a deep breath of relief when she saw Leo.
Imdiately after the announcent, she ca outside to wait for him as she was worried. She felt that things were going to get rough—rougher than it already is—very soon.
She forced a smile to her face as sge watch Leo walk towards her. So many thoughts were running riots in her head but she wasn't ready to pay any attention to them. As all she wants to do right now is to take care of Leo.
The day has been a rollercoaster of event, from the betrayal, battle against the endless horde, and the appearance of the giant lizard-like monster. And now, the announcent of a "Multiversal level" tournant has been added to the list.
She couldn't help sigh when she thought about all this.
"We really are in the apocalypse," she muttered to herself.

Tatiana appeared in the penthouse suite she was staying at.
"Princess," Elda greeted when she saw her.
"Elda, it's ti. We have to start making the final arrangents to the plan. First, we will going there to get that," Tatiana said with a sense of urgency in her voice.
"Princess, are you really sure you want to do this? I understand how much this tournant is worth to you and how much you want to prove to your father, to everyone that you're good enough to lead the Realm but do we really have to do things this way?
We are going into a territory that we hold no sway or any power whatsoever. If anything is to go wrong, there's no way that I will be able to protect you, princess," Elda asked with a worried expression on her face.
She saw the stubborn expression on Tatiana's face and she sighed helplessly.
"Princess, you do know that we aren't going to another mortal realm but instead a divine realm. You know what else they call divine realms? A larger and more complex domain. It's a place that any other person's power becos useless when they step into it. Our strength will be sealed as soon as we step into it.
And to make things worst, this divine realm has two two different domains that had combined to make it even stronger," Elda said, expressing her feelings on the irrationality of Tatiana's decision.
"Co on, Elda. Why are you so scared? You make it sound like we are going there to cause trouble or sothing. We are just going there to ask for a favour," Tatiana said, as she put on the most reassuring smile she could. But it did very little to ease Elda's worry.
Elda could only smile and sigh helplessly once more as she knew that there was nothing else she can do.
"Good. Let's go to Mictlan," Tatiana said, as she disappeared, followed by Elda.
