Chapter 20: three Fifth Waves.

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: three Fifth Waves.

A translucent sword materialized in Morgan’s hand.

Identical to Liues’. Same edge, same weight.

He pointed it at Angel, who was clutching a bleeding wing to his chest with trembling hands.

Dammit!! Am almost out of mana points..

Angel’s thoughts raced. That smile was still on his face, but his eyes were shaking.

This kid .....is too good.

"You were going to execute me moments ago," Morgan said, voice low and cold. "Funny how fast the tables turn."

Angel pushed himself to his feet. Blood dripped from his knuckles.

"Hmph. I’ve just been wandering. If your technique is that amazing... then why did you let the Devil and the people in the shelter die?"

BOOM!!

Agnes crashed through the wall beside Angel. Dust and broken brick buried her.

She rose, soaked in blood, bruised from head to toe. But her scythe was steady.

"It’s over," Liues said. He moved to stand beside Morgan, sword dragging across the ground. "The Safety Commission has lost."

Angel’s lips curled. That inhumane smile spread again.

"Don’t count your victory yet."

[ INSUFFICIENT MANA: FIFTH WAVE LOCKED. FORCED ACTIVATION WILL CAUSE BODY DAMAGE ]

"So what?" Angel laughed, sharp and broken. Even Liues felt a chill.

"Good Deeders Fifth Wave—"

"Chaos Calamity—" Agnes spoke at the same time.

Black and red mist poured from her body. The temperature dropped.

"Fifth Wave—"

"MORGAN RUN!!!" Shouted Liues, his face went pale, his eyes shaking with fear.

Two fifth Waves at once, even Bailon would feel the pressure. His sword pulsed with power, then he said

"Good deeder Fifth Wave: Water God."

"Hax Negated World!" said Agnes at the same time.

"Realm of the Gods!" said the angel as well.

Three voices. Three worlds colliding.

A black bearer unfurled around Agnes, eating the light.

Water pillars erupted from the ground around Liues, forming a divine shrine.

And above them, Angel’s feathers became a golden throne in the sky.

"NO!" Principal Lous slammed both hands on her desk in her office.

"I’ve never seen three Fifth Waves activated at once."

Commissioner Varn didn’t blink. His eyes were locked on the monitor.

"It’s only natural that The strongest Wave dominates. But this..." He breathed out slowly. "I can’t even predict it.

Liues’ Water God Shrine is formidable. But it’s nothing compared to Agnes’ Hax Negated World. In her domain, all power and magic cease to exist. That is the horror of chaos."

On the video call, Lous stared back at him.

"But that boy is unpredictable. For all we know, his Fifth Wave isn’t a bearer type at all. If that’s the case—"

"We watch," Varn interrupted, smiling faintly. "Days ago he couldn’t use his power. Now he’s a Berserker Calamity? Something is very wrong here.

But for now... let us witness the wonder of power."

The screen went black.

---

Inside the overlapping domains:

"Take Agnes," Morgan said. He closed his eyes. When they opened, they burned red.

[ TECHNIQUE COPIED: HAX NEGATION ]

[ -100 MANA ]

[ FIFTH WAVE TIMER: 3:59 ]

Four minutes to finish Angel.

He shot forward — straight at Angel.

Liues wanted to stop him, but his water shrine was already collapsing because of Agnes hax Negation. All he could do was pray in his heart for Morgan.

Angel stood in the center of his golden Realm of the Gods, arms spread wide. "Do you not see? In this place, I am a God."

Morgan smiled. It wasn’t a smile.

"Did you forget what I can do?"

"HAX NEGATION."

The gold light flickered.

Angel staggered. "W-what? I’m supposed to be invincible... why am I still bleeding?"

Morgan was already jumping towards him.

"You brat!" Angel beat his wings and shot backwards, trying to escape.

Useless.

Morgan caught him. Face to face. Two wings raised to shield himself, the other three flapping weakly. So Divine yet so powerless against Hax Negation.

"Die, false god." said Morgan coldly as his scythe slashed at Angel.

FIUUUU!!!

One swing.

One wing was torn clean off.

"Aarhhh!!"

Screams echoed through the domain. Angel tried to flap away, but Morgan was faster.

"You can’t escape me."

"W-wait—no—please—"

The scythe rose for the final blow.

PENG!!

A golden arrow tore through the bearer and shot toward Morgan’s head.

He twisted, scythe up. The impact sent him crashing down through three floors of concrete.

"Huh?" The singer blinked from the city wall, bow lowered. Playful, but her brow furrowed.

"He deflected it?"

Morgan looked at his weapon. Cracks spread across the scythe like spiderwebs. Then it shattered in his hand.

"How... is this possible?"

FIUUU!!

Another arrow.

THRUUT!!

It drove through his left arm. Blood exploded. His arm went dead.

"And now... for the finishing blow," Singer sang. Her blue eyes sparkled with delight.

"And..."

FIUUU!!!

The third arrow was already there. Inches from his skull.

"MORGAN!!!"

Liues roared and lunged. But his Water God Shrine collapsed the instant Agnes’ domain touched it.

Powerless.

Agnes didn’t hesitate when she saw Liues completely distracted. Her scythe drove into Liues’ shoulder.

"ARRRGH!!"

He hit his knees.

"You lost," Agnes whispered. "Liues of House Martell."

Liues fell face-first into his own blood.

At that exact moment, when everything was almost over.The Fifth Wave shuddered.

Something had broken through the bearer

And everyone turned to look who was it.
