Chapter 558: The Power of Brohood
Back on Earth, Jack’s clone had suddenly fallen to the banquet floor, convulsing and screaming in pain.
“Jack!” everyone shouted.
Vivi wore a dark expression. She knew about the war, but this was unexpected. What could be happening? She directed people to assist, but the healers weren’t even close to the level where they could help him. She sensed his aura growing weaker, infused with a hint of wicked green. She had no idea what was going on.
Jack… she thought, eyes watering in powerlessness.
“Dad!” Ebele screamed, falling over her father. “What’s wrong, Dad? Talk to me! Talk to me!”
Jack’s pain came from the soul, so his clone suffered the same as his main body. He couldn’t speak. He could, however, think through a blurred veil. If Enas took over his body, he would simultaneously take over his clone as well, and then wiping all life off Earth would be trivial. That included his wife, daughter, and friends, whom he’d foolishly gathered together.
“Dad!” Ebele screamed.
The clone looked up, seeing the teary eyes of his daughter. His grip on reality recovered because he simply couldn’t afford to lose it. I will not fail again, he swore. I will protect you, Ebele. No matter what.
