When Finnian mentioned that tale ages ago, Vivienne had only heard whispers of it.
Piecing it together with an ancient tome she had found, it seemed likely that Abigail was a descendent of that old lineage.
Over two centuries old.
How many lives had been lost at her hands?
Abigail didn't find it odd to be guessed of her age. Instead, she smirked with a cruel, mocking smile, "Doomsday? What of it? When I rule the world, what can it do to me?"
She believed destiny had chosen her for greatness, to rule. In her eyes, she was merely fulfilling her destiny.
By the time Vivienne Hawthorn sensed something was amiss, Abigail had already cast a protective barrier around the room with a swift motion of her hands.
"Instead of waiting for doomsday to claim me, let's see if you can make it out alive. I've sealed this room with a barrier. None of you will escape today!"
"I will have the Millennium Aegis shard, and eternal life is within my grasp."
With that, she lunged towards Vivienne.
Anna unsheathed the knife hidden behind her, stepping in front of Vivienne, "Vivienne, I got this!"
She was determined to avenge her mother's death.
Vivienne didn't stop her but warned, "She has supernatural powers. Get close to have a chance."
Despite the odds, she wanted to give Anna this opportunity.
Anna nodded slightly and dashed towards Abigail, her knife aimed straight for her.
Before Anna could get close, Abigail waved her hand, casting Anna out of the barrier, ready to take her life. Just then, a surge of supernatural power aimed at her came from behind Vivienne.
It was Percival Ellington making his move.
Abigail had long coveted Percival's tier-ten supernatural abilities. Now, he had walked right into her trap, a spark of excitement in her eyes.
With a flick of her wrist, she tossed Anna aside. To her, mere mortals posed no threat.
Percival positioned Vivienne behind him, concentrating all his supernatural power in his palm, and launched it at Abigail, pushing her several meters away. His eyes were stern.
As long as Abigail lived, the danger to Vivienne and their unborn child would persist.
Abigail, slightly taken aback but thrilled, saw this as an opportunity to claim their powers for herself. The stronger, the better.
In the midst of the battle.
Anna, struggling to stand, wiped the blood from her mouth and pulled out a gun, aiming it at Abigail's head without hesitation.
The gunshot echoed, but the bullet froze mid-air.
Abigail appeared above, creating a barrier around herself, looking down at Anna with a smirk, "I told you, you can't harm me. But since you so wish to join your mother, I shall grant you your wish."
As she moved to direct the bullet at Anna, Sasha Perez tackled her, avoiding the deadly shot.
Sasha couldn't save Anna's mother years ago; she wouldn't let her friend's daughter come to harm now.
Anna, startled, checked on Sasha, "Karen, are you alright?"
