Chapter 54
May 23, Rhine Life Experimental Base-4.
Today was the last day before Yoren's body reached its critical limit.
When he woke up in the morning, a strange sense of disorientation washed over him.
The moment he lost focus, the world around him turned black and white. When he regained his senses, color returned as if nothing had changed.
At the same time, unfamiliar images flashed through his mind—
The sky, the earth, fire, glaciers, stars...
If his body were a world, then this was the day before the apocalypse. Strange phenomena were occurring one after another, signaling the impending collapse.
To maintain his dignity, Yoren wrapped his scarf around his head once more.
As scheduled, he followed Hemmer to the underground laboratory of Base-4.
For the past month, Hemmer's scientific team had tried everything to suppress the expansion of his power.
Drugs, cellular separation, freezing, electric shocks—no matter the method, the power remained dormant within him, growing stronger by the day.
