Jason could sense all the pain and turmoil in Lamina’s heart as she stared at him. Lamina was on her knees with a defeated look on her face, and some royal guards were kneeling behind her and paying their reverence to Jason as well, but even though Jason had gone through all of Lamina’s struggles, and he understood why she looked so pitiful, Jason couldn’t feel any remorse in his heart for her at all. Jason knew that all of this had been caused by Lamina. If Lamina hadn’t voted against him during the trial all those months ago, then Jason would not have needed to go on this journey, and he wouldn’t have met Gillian. By acting on her own selfishness, Lamina had damned herself to this fate, and Jason felt no sympathy for her whatsoever.
Lamina stared up at Jason with eyes that were filled with a hidden rage! Even though she wanted to lash out angrily, the Blood Oath that had been transferred to Jason was also affecting her, and that meant that as of this moment, Jason was her lord and King! There was no way she could lash out against her own Dead Apostle! So once Lamina saw Jason looking down at her with a stoic, intense gaze, she had no choice but to slowly turn her eyes down until she was staring at the ground reverently!
Jason let out a calm breath as he held Gillian’s body tighter. He supposed that things could have turned out far worse than they did. And if this was how his journey would end, then Jason would learn to live with it. But unfortunately for Jason, there was still one more person who was heading towards this world, and her presence would change everything about this story. A Dimensional Tear opened a mile away from Jason, on the other side of the large flower field, and Queen Hesabeth stepped out from within it with a calm look on her face.
It was as though the entire world suddenly lost all of its sound, and the clearing immediately drowned in silence! All eyes turned towards Queen Hesabeth with a strange form of fear rising from somewhere inside their hearts! No one there knew why they suddenly felt this fear pass through their hearts! They just couldn’t explain it! The amount of power they could feel flowing off from Hesabeth was not enough to make them feel the fear that came over them at that moment! But as Queen Hesabeth turned her eyes over the large crowd and up towards Jason, the tension in the air only grew thicker! Hesabeth’s eyes trailed down towards the still body of Gillian in Jason’s hands, and then she looked at Jason’s right hand and saw the blood that stained it from when he had stabbed Gillian through the heart. Hesabeth’s eyes slowly widened as her breath began to come out in harsh, heavy huffs that made her chest heave like she was hyperventilating, and all of a sudden, the sky rumbled!
DOOONN!!
A massive tremor travelled across the world as heavy rain began to fall to the ground, and Hesabeth’s hand tightened into fists as she felt a raw, primal anger rising from somewhere deep inside her heart, and at the next moment, Hesabeth screamed!
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
The world imploded!
KA-BOOOOMMMM!!

Jason didn’t even have time to read through all the messages as a sudden earthquake tore through the world, and the ground began to shake uncontrollably! Jason felt the cliff under his feet give way, and he cursed as he fell through the ground! The field split down the middle as the tectonic plates shifted, and a massive cavern began to form across the centre of the world! Jason immediately turned towards Gina and screamed at her!
"RUN! RUN NOW!!!"
Gina was already being pulled away by some of the Vympir Changelings for them to get out of there, but Gina’s eyes were wide in shock as she stared at Hesabeth in disbelief! The Changelings all knew that Gina was pregnant, and at this moment, the most important thing to their Lord was this child, so they were willing to throw their own lives away to ensure Gina survived! Jason released a harsh breath as he saw Gina being pulled away, and he almost calmed down, but he felt his heart rate picking up again as a massive shadow loomed over their heads! Jason looked up sharply, and he felt his eyes widen in shock as he saw a massive flaming meteorite the size of a small city coming down on them like divine punishment!
’What the actual fuck...?’
BOOOOMMM!!!
The meteorite slammed into the ground like the judgment of some divine lord of fire, and the entire field was immediately drowned in the destruction! A massive gale wind blew across the field, and the meteorite exploded into a million pieces that sent sharp rock flying everywhere! Jason had already made his way towards Gina the moment he saw the large meteorite, and in the middle of all the madness, he had lost Gillian’s body somehow. But at this moment, the only thing that mattered to Jason was making sure Gina was alright! As Jason reached the spot where Gina had been, he was shocked when he didn’t see her there! The entire area had been destroyed by the meteorite, and there were a few Changelings that were scattered across the ground since they didn’t move away from the meteorite quickly enough, but Gina wasn’t here anymore.
’Gina! Where are you!?’
Jason called out to Gina through their mental link, but he was shocked when Gina didn’t reply for a few seconds! There was a great fire burning everything around Jason, and Jason couldn’t even see past the smoke that had risen from all the flowers that were burning! But Jason finally turned to the side when he heard Gina speak up.
’Babe! I’m over here! On the east! I’m coming to you.’
Jason felt a surge of relief pass through him when he heard Gina’s voice, and he suddenly shouted!
’No, don’t come here! Get out of this world right now!’
Jason knew that Hesabeth’s target wasn’t all of them! It was just him! Gillian and Hesabeth had been really close in the past, and they had been almost like blood sisters for a long time! When Gillian had gone missing, Hesabeth had looked for her for multiple days and nights without rest, but no matter how badly she wanted to find her, she just couldn’t for some reason. And now that Hesabeth had finally found her sister, Jason had killed Gillian and taken her Blood Oath away! It wasn’t surprising that Hesabeth would lose control! But Jason knew that if he could only speak to Hesabeth, then he could clear up this misunderstanding!
Jason looked around to try to find Hesabeth, and he eventually saw her kneeling on a small patch of bright green grass a few hundred meters away from him! Hesabeth looked like the eye of a storm as pure destruction ravaged the area around her, but in the area where she knelt, there was no destruction at all, and Jason could see her gently cradling Gillian’s dead body with tears falling down her face!
