The Soul Enters the Titan Mort’s work did not collapse with the death of his flesh. The changes he had made to the local weather did not disperse. The foundation he had built was not uprooted. His army had been destroyed, and their summoning circles shattered, but that had only fed something stronger. Just as he had sacrificed sixty-six captured locals to create a barrier that delayed the enemy agent, everything he had done had been transformed and reborn, because it had all been tied to his…-

Killing Mort The bastard was right. Sweat was already rolling down my skin, and I could not see any way to escape with Ye Lin. If only I had some kind of ranged attack that would not be stopped by… ice. Wait. That might work. But I would have only one chance, so I had better make it count. With effort, the world around me froze again. I did not even lower the weight in my hands before I began constructing the force fields I needed. The fields were not meant to support the…

Facing Him Alone The final floor of the tower was a cylindrical chamber whose walls were made entirely of black metal. There were no decorations. The ceiling and floor were the same. Only three things were worth mentioning. A tree formed from black metal thorns, surrounded by a loose sphere of crackling red energy. A throne made of the same black metal, upon which sat the man responsible for the destruction of this city. And a young blond girl, perhaps only half my age, chained to the floor…

Creating a Nuclear Blast I poured every last scrap of strength I had into entering a time-stop state. Unfortunately, that did not change the fact that there was an arm around my neck, a magical taser jammed under my armpit, and I was on my knees, seconds away from blacking out. I was held too tightly to break free. Worse, every few seconds another portion of my dwindling reserves was burned away just to keep time frozen. So I used Advanced Nearby Object Manipulation to unclasp the necklace…

Close-Quarters Brawl He was two meters taller than me and weighed more than twice as much. He was still not the most physically oppressive enemy I had faced. The power of multiple demon warriors had been condensed into him by magic. His armor had shattered from the changes to his new body, and the leather-like loincloth barely covered him, while his anatomy was complete in a way the previous ones had not been. Because the equipment of the warriors Chi Li had completely destroyed had not been…

Hard-to-Kill “Terminators” Halfway across the room, a furious battle raged. Beams of impossible heat, waves of biting cold, twelve constructs made of blazing-bright flame, neon-green bursts of radiation, and tides of blood crashed against one another. What had once been Chi Li had become a twelve-meter-tall avatar of fire, wielding two plasma maces, each taller than I was. She was actually winning that tower-shaking fight. Every exchange melted more armor from the warriors and burned…

Fusion Enhancement Both of them were too strong to be seriously harmed by that, but they were hurt and distracted for a moment. Which was basically the same as being punched in the chest. That gave me the chance to push again, and this time I shoved them back easily. Not because their strength had fallen much. Because their feet slipped, as though the floor had suddenly turned to ice, stripping away their leverage. Friction, after all? Another affected force. Then I touched my new…

Six-Colored Terminators When six humanoids stepped out of the darkness, we actually felt a little relieved. At least now we could finally have a proper fight. Because this was definitely going to be a fight. By “humanoids,” I mean they had bodies and outfits like Terminators. Only their hair and eyes were different. Both glowed, each marked by a different color: blood red, neon green, lightning blue, snow white, dark gray, and pure black. In one hand, each wielded a huge serrated…

A Short Rest There was only one floor left before the top of the tower, and by our calculations, we still had one third of the deadline remaining. So, instead of charging in like two brainless idiots, we sat down. We ate the last few cookies Grandma Lin had left us, drank a jug of juice, ate a Snickers bar of uncertain origin that had probably been salvaged from a flooded downtown shop and might have tasted faintly of beer, and opened a pack of bacon strips. “Breakfast of champions,” Chi Li…

Down by Two I frowned as some subconscious voice screamed that the whole situation smelled wrong, which counted as a pun, I guess. We were missing something. Something we could not see. Something that felt a little familiar. I checked the air around us again with Force Sense. If something was in the air, maybe I could find where it was coming from? That attempt partially worked. It did not reveal exactly what was in the air around us, because the sense was nowhere near sensitive enough, but…
