“Commander Iverson mentioned you once. Said you were an interesting person, Lady Margaret.” He straightened up. “Looks like he wasn’t wrong.”

“But, Gary shifted gears, “how did you know the one behind the glass wasn’t him?”

“Pressure.” Margaret said the single word flat.

“I’ve done a spiritual power purification on Baar before. I know how vast his spiritual realm is. The pressure back there wasn’t even a third of his full strength in a calm state, let alone during a frenzy. At first, I thought maybe the doors had some kind of dampening field. But when I stepped inside and felt no change in the physical gravity-”

She turned to face Gary. “That’s when I knew. It was you. You’ve been using your own spiritual power to fake the illusion that Baar is still in that room.”

Spiritual power rankings didn’t scale linearly. Between SSS-class and SS-class lay a gap as wide as a canyon, Ten SS-class males pouring out everything they had might not match a single true SSS-class. But that same gap was exactly why the S-class officers upstairs had been so easy to fool.

If a real SSS-class male had unleashed his full aura, they would all be dead already. Hardly anyone alive knew just how terrifying a true SSS-class spiritual realm could be-except her.

The elevator chimed softly. They had reached the lowest level.

The doors opened.

The smell of blood hit first, thick and metallic, tangled with the sharp sting of antiseptic. The air down here was even denser than above. Breathing was work now.

Even Margaret felt the physical toll. Just standing, her knees threatened to buckle. It was like a slab of stone pressing down on her spine.

This was real SSS-class frenzy pressure.

Gary stepped out of the elevator first, pushing through the weight.

“Lady Margaret, you’re sharp. I’ll give you that.” He led the way, but his heavier steps and the cold sweat on his temples showed how much this was wearing on him. “But you only guessed half of it.”

“Half?” Margaret frowned.

The elevator doors slid open. The underground layout mirrored the floor above.

It was a fully sealed metal structure with thick blast-proof glass walls. Cold and oppressive.

Margaret spotted Baar immediately. He was sitting on a narrow cot behind the glass, bare from the waist up. Bandages wrapped his shoulder and chest, blotches of blood seeping through.

The black serpent filled most of the room, coiling restlessly and flicking its tongue. But unlike the one

upstairs, it wasn’t slamming against the walls. Agitated, but not mindless.

He still had some control. Just in pain.

Gary stopped a dozen paces away, hands braced on his knees, gulping air.

“The one upstairs really is fake,” he managed between breaths. “But that spiritual power-Commander Iverson siphoned a fragment of his own power from his spiritual realm. Not mine.”

Margaret felt the weight in her chest too, but she was holding up better than Gary.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Why don’t you go in and ask him yourself?”

Seeing the scene in front of her, the tight knot in Margaret’s chest finally loosened. At least Baar hadn’t completely lost himself. And Gary wasn’t a traitor. 2

She pushed forward and pulled open the heavy isolation door.

Baar’s head snapped up at the sound. His gold eyes streaked with red narrowed to slits the moment he recognized who stood there.

He’d figured the medics might call Margaret-they were desperate enough. But he never expected her to come here. This was the Sirius Galaxy, the deadliest combat zone on the front line.

And there she was, beneath the cold white light, without a flicker of fear in her eyes.
