Kronos had been caught off guard. Zane's kick to his face was anything but pleasant. He had not expected Zane's evolution to be completed so soon. Had it already been thirty minutes? Even if it was, it was quite lucky that Zane had evolved so quickly.
Nevertheless, there was nothing Kronos could do. His only option was to defeat Zane and take his brain. He had already killed Minerva which meant that the only other brain left for him to take was Zane's. Once this was done, he could consume both Minerva's and Zane's brains, evolving into an Apocrypha like no other.
"Zane!" Suddenly exclaimed Layla with joy, "Are you okay?!"
"I'm fine..."
Zane then took a moment to examine everyone present. Apart from Anastasia and Artemis, everyone else was still being affected by Kronos's ability. It would be dangerous to have them attacking since they had a high chance of hurting one another.
