It would be impossible for them to withstand the consequences should they mess with Fortuna!
Not only would they fail to capture Fortuna, but they might also even die in its hands!
Daemonium roared, “How dare you disturb my plan? I'll not let you off easily!”
He then turned to his men and shouted, “Retreat!”
Zeke immediately ordered, “Stop them from leaving at all costs!”
Had Daemonium and the Demons of Anarchy escaped, the chaos that had plagued Eurasia a century ago might happen all over again.
By hook or by crook, Zeke must destroy them once and for now. At least he must incapacitate their life force so that they would no longer be a threat to Eurasia.
Daemonium bellowed, “Are you mad, Zeke? You and I will die if we don't run away now.”
Zeke remained composed. “Fortuna represents the powerful spirit and willpower of all Eurasians. I don't think it'll try to claim my life! Be prepared to face your death!”
F**k! This man is crazy!
Daemonium cursed as he started battling against Zeke.
The gigantic Fortuna maneuvered the crowd and started attacking the people.
The moment it brushed itself against a person, the person would be flung at least thirty feet away.
No one had the power to fight against it.
Soon, Daemonium realized Fortuna the Dragon tended to avoid attacking Zeke and the rest of the Eurasians.
He's right. Fortuna is a conscious being because it's the manifestation of Eurasians' willpower. That's why Fortuna spared Zeke from its attack.
Daemonium then turned his attention to Warren and yelled, “Tame the dragon!”
What?
Warren was nonplussed.
How could he ask me to tame Fortuna? Not even you can do that!
No. I can't do this!
Upon sensing Warren's fear, Daemonium immediately explained, “Since Zeke and you share the same origin, I'm sure both of you can manipulate the willpower of all Eurasians. Fortuna will approach you once it senses your aura. Seize the opportunity to tame it so that you two could coalesce into one entity!”
Daemonium continued to convince him. “Take a chance on it! If this works, you'll assume the position of the head of the inspectors in no time!”
Yet, Warren remained hesitant.
Useless!
Daemonium eventually lost his patience. He released a wave of negative energy to get hold of Warren and hurl him at Fortuna.
Fortuna wrestled the man and roared aggressively.
There was no turning back for Warren now. He could only grit his teeth and go ahead to amalgamate with Fortuna.
Daemonium's prediction was right. Warren did embody the willpower of all Eurasians and could amalgamate with Fortuna.
Yet, the pain was so excruciating that Warren had to stop the process.
Never in his life had he experienced such intense agony.
Daemonium threatened, “Don't you dare stop! Or I'll kill you myself!”
Warren roared with all his might and continued with the integration.
Oh, no!
Zeke's heart sank.
Should Warren succeed in his attempt, Eurasia would surely collapse!
I have to stop him.
Zeke gathered all his strength and shoved Daemonium aside. He then leaped into the air and landed on Fortuna's head.
He shrouded Fortuna with his unrivaled energy and tried to absorb it into his body.
Fortuna started burning him like lava when it entered Zeke's body.
The intense heat that Fortuna exuded razed Zeke's internal organs, but he persevered.
He passed out a few times but eventually pulled himself together when he thought of Eurasia's future.
The agony that lasted more than thirty minutes ended when Zeke absorbed Fortuna successfully.
There was no energy left in Zeke at this point. He fell unconscious and hit the ground. No one knew if he had survived the ordeal.
Meanwhile, Warren, who had only been in contact with Fortuna for a while, was bawling his lungs out and rolling on the ground.
