Chapter 1675 - Chapter 1493: Glacier: Frozen World

The cracked roads that once buzzed with traffic in and out of Stanmore now resembled broken arteries. Nature had waged a war, leaving behind a complex network of cracks filled with defiant blades of grass. Sand, carried by relentless winds, had settled over the remnants of the city's pulse.
