Alex and Mingyue were lazing around, sitting on top of an abandoned skyscraper, when the mountain in front of them suddenly exploded into pieces.
Crystal and black dirt sprayed into the sky like shrapnel.
The shockwave rolled across the ruined city, shaking broken windows and sending dust off the rooftops.
A huge beast crawled out from the hole.
It looked like a centipede, its body plated with black crystal. Countless insects spilled from behind it.
Even from this distance, Alex and Mingyue could see a familiar figure in front of it.
Governor Rannor body was half-formed, half-liquid, sliding across the ground as he fought while retreating.
Behind him, the Soul Insect Queen's upper body rose like a human silhouette riding the centipede, her eyes burning with rage.
"What's the governor doing?" Mingyue asked, confused by how things had progressed.
Based on what they knew, he should be waiting for the representative.
