"Miss Maïra, toss that container to me!" Timothy shouted.

Timothy didn't have much of a choice and so he decided to take another alternative.

"I will destroy whatever is inside that container. It should contain something important, or even some kind of mass destruction weapon." He added.

Maïra was puzzled by Timothy's words, but she decided to bring the container to Timothy. She was shaken by how the situation worsened very fast, but she also had accepted her fate.

Was it the best choice to stay even though she knew that death was coming? It was not time for regrets, but she wished to live a little bit longer.

Maïra ignored the existence of the fragments of the Tree of life, and so did Timothy and the others; even Liu wasn't informed about the exact nature of these fragments.

However, Timothy thought that if things were this bad, might as well destroy whatever was inside of the container rather than let the enemy win completely.

After all, Yelena and Brondon were half-dead and three variants of Lupic were trying to take the container by force.

No matter how much he tried to deny it, this was the end of the line for them. The end came abruptly, and none of them could think rationally to prevent it.

It was almost unreal and felt like they were inside of a bad dream.

Fear crept inside of their heart little by little.

'Is this the end?' Timothy asked himself.

Nevertheless, if he destroyed the container, something might happen, or so he thought, nothing more than a last desperate attempt to escape the unchanging reality.

"Hahaha! F*ck you!" Timothy shouted and finally put down the barrier.

Of course, as soon as he did that, the werewolf clone charged at him, and so did the other clones.

He gathered all of his remaining power in his fist and hit the black container. It was nothing more than a reckless gamble.

Seeing Timothy's desperate attempt, Lupic who was hiding somewhere finally appeared and laughed. "This is the end for you. That thing can't be destroyed."

If the fragments of the Tree of life could be destroyed that easily then everything would have ended a long time ago.

Lupic smiled as though he had already won this battle.

However, as soon as Timothy's fist which was imbued with condensed lighting energy impacted the container, something extremely mystical occurred.

Boom!

There was an outburst of power but everyone who was within the proximity moved in slow motion.

Even Lupic couldn't avoid the effect of this strange phenomenon.

"Es-tu celui qui m'a reveillé?"

A voice was carried by a strange power and was directly transmitted to Timothy's brain.

However, the person who spoke used a very old language, so it was hard for him to understand.

Nonetheless, seeing what was happening around him made Timothy realize that all hope was not gone.

And as if confirming his thought, something glowed a radiant green light and a human body materialized in front of his eyes. This process was very mysterious, and even though everything else moved in slow motion, only this scene wasn't affected.

'What the hell is that?' Timothy thought to himself as if he questioned his sanity.

His eyes were glued on the woman that materialized in front of him and he realized that the thing that was inside of that container might be more significant than he thought.

As the woman took form, Timothy who was facing her gasped. "Verte?!"

The woman who appeared out of thin air looked like an adult version of Verte, but Timothy instantly understood that this being was someone that could bring everyone present to their knees.

Still, he was desperate and so he swallowed his pride and implored this woman. 'Please help us, I beg you!'

That was pathetic of Timothy, but he thought about Yelena, Brondon, and the others, so he couldn't be arrogant. He accepted that he was powerless against Lupic and his clones.

Nevertheless, would this help Timothy and his companions? For what reason would she do that, even by chance she decided to help them?

These questions appeared in Timothy's head but he couldn't possibly answer them. Timothy's heart was filled with regret but he hadn't lost all hope.

The woman approached Timothy and touched his face with her hands.

Timothy didn't know what was happening but he was suddenly assaulted by unbearable pain, but he couldn't even hear his scream.

Then, he was enveloped in a golden light and as if it exploded, an uncontrollable outburst of energy surged out of his body. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

After that, everyone else lost their consciousness, and a phenomenon that would change the world occurred, and no one was ready for it.

Only Adam would discover the truth behind what happened on that day, but at that time, it would be already too late.

*****

A few minutes before Timothy exposed what was inside the container, Louis and Blanca's battle reached its climax.

Boom!

They exchanged blows and the shockwave caused by their clash shook the earth and caused huge explosions.

At first, Louis was on the offensive.

He attacked balance with ten swords made with condensed lighting energy simultaneously, trying to find a blind spot and finish Blanca off with one single attack.

He wanted to penetrate Blanca's body with one of his lighting swords and make her explode from the inside.

However, Blanca's defense was too tough to breakthrough. She also used her blood to create multiple red spears and fended off Louis's attacks.

"Tch!" Louis was getting impatient and activated his domain again, even though he had already depleted a big portion of his strength.

He tried to trick Blanca but only launched successive frontal attacks.

"You won't be able to defend against this forever!" He shouted.

And in the middle of the battle, he prepared a single attack from behind, which would be his fastest and most destructive.

All he needed to do was to make sure that Blanca's attention was focused on his frontal attacks, and so she would forget about her back for a split second.

Then, Louis darted towards Blanca at full speed, as if he used all of his power in this attack. "Aaaaaaa! I will finish you with this!"

Seeing Louis coming at her, Blanca merged her spears into one sword.

'I got you.' Louis thought to himself.

Louis and Blanca clashed head-on once again, but this time, Louis also attacked from behind.

Louis's goal was to fire his ultimate form of condensed energy at Bianca, but he needed to make sure that it only exploded once it penetrated her body or precisely head. He thought Blanca's blood wouldn't be able to fully absorb the energy when it came from within her.

Thud!

There was an impact, and Blanca could feel something penetrating her head.

Louis used a very small projectile but imbued inside of it a dense quantity of energy.

If this attack failed, then it was the end for him.

But he was sure that Lupic had already retrieved the container so he wasn't worried about the mission.

'Well, this kind of ending isn't so bad.' Louis admitted.

After that, Louis's attack exploded inside Blanca's head, or that was how it looked.

Blanca was affected by Louis's attack, but it didn't kill her. It was as if she suspected Louis's intention when he suddenly changed his attack patterns.

When he saw that Blanca was not dead, Louis understood that this was the end of the line for him, and he took a decision. "I didn't expect you to be this powerful. I admit I can't beat you."

Then, he was enveloped in lightning energy and ran away at full speed.

'It's not time to die, yet.' He thought. He was not a battle maniac and was not completely brainless. As long as they recovered the container, there was no need for him to fight Blanca any longer. And even if Blanca followed him to the other side of the portal, she would never beat his Lord, even if she was a quasi-immortal being.

Bianca saw Louis fleeing but she didn't follow him, but instead, she rushed in the direction where Lupic went.

She realized her mistake, but it was too late for regrets. She didn't expect that she would recover her strength quickly or that she would beat Louis.

Blanca wasn't aware of the true nature of the fragments not about Lupic's true power, but her choice impacted Adam, Liu, their companions, and eventually the world without her knowing it.

She was on her way to this universe with her sister Noira to find another fragment when they got separated. Then she was chased by Louis and Lupic.

'I can't fail now.' She thought while rushing ahead at full speed.

Many vampires were sacrificed to condense the platinum blood which could open a portal to another dimension.

And it was not like they could find the fragments easily. Blanca and her fellows had to travel across a lot of worlds, and in the end, they separated into small groups.

The only clue they had was that the platinum blood would react when they got closer to the fragment. However, it almost took a few hundreds of years to find one fragment, but they needed three.

As time went by, Blanca and her sister Noira lost track of time and lost their way through the multiverse, unable to find their way back. There was also not enough platinum blood so they couldn't move carelessly.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that their world was already gone, and almost a few millennia had passed since they left.
