FIFTY-EIGHT.

THE TRAITOR HAS COME.

XANDRIA'S GORGEOUS violet hair, which had blue, black, and silver highlights, was flowing in the thunder-spark-filled facility. She wore a black lace slipping button, but it was messed up from the fight, and her hair was in lightning clips. It was all ripped apart.

She gets even more angry at the thought of having to chase after her brother after anything went wrong between them. Moreover, she had become familiar with him.

Even if he were already being betrayed, he would simply accept everything. How kind of a great guy he can be, huh?

Xandria held her head at nahawakan na lang niya ang pader. It began here. From the scientist. Bilang karagdagan, siya'y pumunta sa facility na 'to sa maraming pagkakataon lamang upang maisakatuparan nila ang mga operasyon sa panahon ng war na 'to.

Gayunpaman, dapat na tapusin ang kaguluhang 'to.

Kahit na siya'y nanghihina ngayon, kailangan niyang protektahan ang kuya niya. Para ipaalam sa kanya ang totoo! She had to tell him the truth, even if it meant crawling. That man has gone to considerable lengths to demonstrate his worth as a brother, yet she's the one pushing him back.

But not this time.

Naglakad din si Xandria nang maraming oras, 'di alam kung sa'n siya pupunta, pero kailangan niyang magmadali. Ito'y 'di lamang tungkol sa kanilang magkakapatid, at nakakasiguro siya do'n, their main target was Henry.

And if Henry realized that his friends' deaths weren't a coincidence, he would have become their plaything, carrying out their schemes. If Henry knew, he may possibly go insane. When someone else takes advantage of him, he never likes it. She gets cold sweats just thinking about how furious Henry may be. She turned pale and embraced her body.

"Xandria!"She was called out as she got in the library.

Speaking of the devil.

It's him.

Kung talagang minamalas ka nga naman! Ang lalaki ay lumabas habang si Xandria ay napakagat na sa kanyang labi. Her collection of varied-colored eyes gazes at him at napapikit na lamang si Xandria and let out a sigh.

"Oh my God, this isn't a smart idea."

"Bakit naman?"

"Basta, halika nga dito!"

Walang alinlangan si Xandria na hinatak si Henry sa loob ng library kung sa'n man niya ginagawa ang test niya ngayon. All she could do was cross her arms and give him a raised eyebrow.

"What is it?"Henry asked.

She's unable to flee from this any longer. "Alam kong magugulat ka sa sasabihin ko, Henry however, one of the traitors just took me hostage." sabi na lang ni Xandria, at nanlaki na lang ang mata ni Henry sa sinabi niya.

He tightened his jaw and gave the library a forceful kick at halos gumewang-gewang na lang 'to.

'Di pa siya nakuntento do'n and he suddenly curses, "Fuck them!" sigaw nito at sunod-sunod ang mga sipa niya sa shelves demonstrating the extent of his anger. Ginulo na lang niya ang buhok niya and he tightened his jaws while taking a long breath.

Here's why Xandria didn't want him to see him looking so upset. Something about Nadalinde has always been a trigger for him. His surroundings began to grow darker, dark enough to corner you. He groaned, took a stride, and his footsteps had a commanding presence. His eyes met Xandria's, causing her to back away from him.

"Tell me. Were you harmed?" He started to ask.

"No..."

"No, eh? When your blouse is nearly ripped off."Henry said at nilapit niya ang mukha niya and he swiftly removed his knife at binato 'to ng paulit-ulit and played with it, "Tell me about their actions."

No, she can't. Observing him in that risky situation.

It never occurred to her that she would view him in such a monstrous manner. Getting rid of him indicates that you're prepared to die. Nobody has any idea what he's been thinking, but his current appearance is extremely dangerous. Henry took care to ensure that the scientist would not learn about his activities from his undercover concerns.

Where might he have been overlooked?

'I swear, whoever they are..'He will not allow them to have their way.

Pagsisihan nila ang pang-aabuso nila sa kanya. He gripped his knife at lumapit na lang si Xandria and tapped his shoulders at tinitigan niya lang 'to sa mata, "Kuya Henry! Stop this."

It appears that Xandria was correct after all. They were all merely instruments for the scientists. The three of them, along with removing the Fates' holder. She is also frightened by their unbreakable bond.

Perhaps if what she saw is a prophecy of the war, then...

Although she didn't want to consider it, she could only assume that they couldn't avoid the problem given its closeness and the Ragnarok's premonition.

Xandria had to fulfill her obligations. And if she ignores this, she will no longer have any opportunities. She let out a long sigh and fixed her gaze on her brother, worried that Henry might have done something riskier that was already preventable.

"Listen to me carefully, kuya. Hindi 'to simpleng coincidence lang. You had been the object of the scientist's for a long time." sagot na lang ni Xandria at tinitigan ng seryoso ang kanyang kapatid, "They lure you to the murder."

Henry didn't show any emotion; he simply stood.

"Kuya! Alam nila ang mga galaw mo, They were aware of everything you were doing. Still, they wanted you to murder the Archduchess. You served just as an instrument in their schemes to rule over the entire Twilight Vale." pag-amin ni Xandria.

How they're able to carry out all of these schemes has been bothering her. These scientists are completely fearless. Or perhaps they didn't give a damn in the first place.

Were they playing a game?

"Damn it!" Sinuntok na lang ni Henry ang pader at napayuko siya and he bit his lip. It seems like the treachery will never end.

They had always targeted him, as if controlling him was simple, regardless of what he did. Well, he knew. He was well-informed!

Never once did the Book of Fates lie. Not at all. He also knew exactly where he was going. He witnessed how, once the genocide occurred and the scientist got what they wanted, he turned into a simple murdering machine.

"Then, Ria shared everything with me. Tell me about all the betrayals you have got. I'm able to handle it all just that."

"My name in the first domain," Xandria said, her eyes widening. "Why do you consistently refer to me as "you" but never use your sister's name?"

"You think I'm really a villain, huh?" Henry grinned at her.

☫✠_____♆_____✡♆

WALANG ARAW na 'di niya inisip ang tungkol sa bagay na 'yon. Kaya naman, nilayo niya ang sarili niya sa iba. He remained alone. Pero iba na ang panahon ngayon. Wala na siyang pakialam kung gaano karami ang haharapin niyang kalaban, it would be wise for him to dig up each one if he had to.

At kung alam na ng mga scientist ang kanyang mga kilos, there's no longer any use in hiding.

From the corner, rinig na rinig ang mga pagbagsak ng mga libro. Nagulat na lang silang dalawa kung sino 'yon only to discover that Giovanni was the one who had just dropped off a ton of books.

Nagkatinginan naman sina Henry at Xandria at sabay sila na nagtawanan habang naghahampas sa shelves.

Giovanni merely pouted and grumbled, "Stop it, you two are embarrassing me!"

"It's hilarious, really."

"Isn't she adorable?"

"And this really is the one who holds the Fates?"

"Magtigil na kayong dalawa! And please, help me!" sigaw na lang ni Giovanni and pouted at him saka lumapit si Henry sa kanya at binuhat agad.

After carrying her like a princess, he smiled at her. They really need find out what their plan is. The presence of Xandria was even advantageous. "Can you speak to Hebe, Giovanni? We must visit her."

"For what purpose?" Giovanni asked.

"To reveal your hidden powers..."

"How do we handle the special tests, though?"

"Ignore it. First, we need to deal with something."

"All right, then. Isabella once gave us a mirror that lets you go across space time, and we could go there more easily if we used it." After Giovanni finished explaining, she hastily grabbed the mirror.

The design was an ancient bronze sculpture with a crimson background and a bronze rose on the back. She claimed to have done this during her first reincarnation to evade her sister's murderous intentions. Anyone can go wherever they want to go thanks to it.

"Let's go then!" Xandria pleaded.

Hinarap 'to ni Giovanni at sabay nilang tinignan ang salamin. Pagkatapos ng  ilang segundo lang may kakaibang enerhiya na lumabas mula rito.

It received a violet glow that swiftly drew them in and triggered the black hole's power. The room's darkness seemed to penetrate the entire library, giving it a strange, unsettling feel. They were bound and drawn inside by a large rope-like energy. It was more like trapping them.

Ultimately, it might also have the ability to choose what they suck up and what they don't. It can sometimes undo the effects of black holes such that they spew matter out rather than suck it in.

It's very deadly on the battlefield because of their complex control of black holes. They all drop through a gateway of some sort, and they are unable to see anything. When they got to the bottom, a large light opened and threw them all into the now-broken Mount Olympus.

The view of Mount Olympus is what then takes them by surprise. It used to be a golden-floored hall served as both a council chamber and feast-hall for the Olympian gods and provided them an expansive view of the world below allowing them to observe mankind from the heights.

The golden tables and tripods of the feast were automatons animated by the divine smith Hephaestus, and trundled in and out of the hall as required.

That was its previous appearance. The rocks from the foundation began to crumble and the foundation itself began to break down. It used to surround the Olympus with a golden aura, but today it only released a gloomy and unsettling vibe. The clouds are a little gloomy.

"What happened here?" tanong na lang ni Xandria at tumingin-tingin siya sa paligid niya, at gulat na gulat siya sa mga nakikita niya.

"Well, as you can see, the scientist destroyed Mount Olympus and all of its exchanges. As a result, I was cursed, and you siblings have been in awful situations."

Maya-maya ay may tumalon mula sa napakataas na ere then a girl with violet hair emerged in front of them. She struck them with acid over a certain target area, making almost everything it came into contact with corrode and suffering severe damage.

"Demigods, we're approaching the Age of the Break."
