"( It seems the key to victory is currently in my hands right now ... )" Martin says as holds the cores while being filled with sands while he tries to prevent them from reconstructing.
" Hold that core, Martin ... " Veliona tells him as she tries to muster her power in order to shield Martin with a [Blood Barrier].
" With this, the sand organs will have a hard time reconstructing again ... " Veliona says as she tries to hold the sand with the barrier while Martin tries to break it.
" I need some help Veliona!!!!! "
" Can you borrow me your power .....!!!!? " Martin asks Veliona to at least use her power to create a
" Can't do boy !!!! " she says as she tries to hold the sand from coming near the Twin Cores.
As she answers that, Martin then thinks for a bit and then does the extreme as he then eats the Twin Core.
" Hey Martin what are you doing !!!!!!!!!!???? " Veliona asks him as she shouts at him for being an idiot as she wonders why the hell Martin has to eat both of the cores.
" Veliona ... " Martin says as he eats the last one.
" Turn down your barrier ...!!! " Martin tells her.
" What .....!!!??? "
" I said ... turn that barrier down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Martin says as he tells Veliona to trust him on this which Veliona then after thinking for a bit then does as he says which makes the sand comes in, coarsely flowing through Martin's mouth as all the sand enters his body.
As it happens, the remaining Deviants and Lich then see that the sandstorm is clearing as he sees Martin is absorbing the sand.
"( What is he doing? )" Lich says as Veliona then comes to him, whispering to him the plan where Lich then nods.
" Everyone, every one of you that still remains ... "
" Prepare yourself .... we're gonna flood our final attack on my signal. " Lich orders them as he then waits for the sand to enter Martin's body.
"( I'll wait for Sphinxer's sand body parts to enter the boy's body .... )"
"( So I and the others may attack the core directly as Sphinxer's remains won't be interfering with our attack anymore. )" Lich thinks to himself as he sees Martin still been entered by the sand.
"( Grrhhh ... it's coarse ....!!!! )"
"( I can see why the likes of *Skywalker hate sands .... !!!!! )" Martin thinks in his mind as he then sees that the sands have fully entered his body he then closes his mouth while waving the others to attack him.
" Now everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Lich orders the alliance.
" Shoot him !!!! "
" Destroy the Cores !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Lich says as he and the others shoot Martin with everything they've got in order to destroy Sphinxer within him.
As the Deviants shoot at him, Martin then uses the greatest potential of his Meta Ability which is to do the most extreme regeneration that he's ever done in his life as he then remembers every moment when he regenerates from every life-threatening situation.
"( I've been through worse .... )" Martin says as he remembers being hit by a falling skyscraper when he was 10.
Back then, the skyscraper rubbles could've killed him but thanks to his Metagene being awakened at the time he quickly heals himself from that very damage.
"( A mere shot like this won't completely destroy my body .... )" Martin says as he closes his eyes waiting for the attack to be over.
"( It seems, I'll be back home soon ..... )" Martin says while his eyes are closed.
"( Too bad for you ... Sphinxer .... )"
....
........
( As it happens.)
" Help ... help .... " Sphinxer says as he awakens Martin in the Mind Plane.
" I'll do anything if you let me live ....!!! "
" Just please ask those Deviants to stop firing at me ....!!!! " Sphinxer says as he begs for his life.
While he asks Martin that, he then wonders how the hell Sphinxer could get in into this place as he swears that this place is only available for Veliona and him.
" My soul has the ability to enter every Mind Plane, which is why I could beg you in this place for now? " Sphinxer says as he still begs for mercy and swears that he will help all of the Deviants to get out from this place.
As Sphinxer says that, Martin then contacts Veliona outside as she then enters the Mind Plane only to her 'once' partner had already come to their private place.
" You ... " Veliona says as she sees the traitor.
" You had some bravery to come to this place ... ."
" Are you here to beg for your life? " Veliona asks as Sphinxer bows in front of her telling that he would do anything.
" Yes ... yes Veliona ...!!!! "
" I would do anything if you spared me !!!!! " Sphinxer says as Martin then asks Veliona if it's possible.
" Well I don't know about that .... " Veliona says as she says that she still wants to kill him.
Hearing that, Martin thinks to himself as he somehow felt mercy and knew about Sphinxer's potential he then asks Sphinxer if he will let him live.
" A contract ...? "
" With me ....? " Sphinxer asked as Martin tells him that he needs his power.
As he says that, Veliona debates as she rejects that very idea while Martin tells her that the contract is for Sphinxer to be Veliona's servant forever as he will swear his life entirely to her this time which Sphinxer answers with a nod while at the outside, Martin's body is being shot as Sphinxer's core begin to reveal themselves from his flesh.
" Please ... "Sphinxer says as he then turns into a sand cub as his power begins to decrease.
....
.......
( Outside the Mind Plane.)
After Veliona talks with Martin and Sphinxer, she then tells Lich to stop as she explained to him what happened.
" What!!!!???? "
" Why!!!!???? " Lich asked as he wonders why the hell Veliona accepted Sphinxer's proposal he orders his remaining allies to stop while Veliona quickly answers him that it is Martin's decision.
" Ask Martin about this ... " Veliona says when she says that, Martin then instantly completes his regeneration as he then rises up vomiting the sands as it creates a mini Sphinxer.
" Hold your fire .... " Martin tells them as he explains what happened.
As he tells them, some of the remaining allies begin to debate his decision while Martin defends himself that this is the only way as he knew that since Sphinxer has the Diviner's power then that means...
" The reason that you spared him is so he can help us defeat his father!!!??? " Lich asks Martin which Martin replies that is exactly what he thinks right now as he deems that they need the advantage right now as he sees the morning come by.
" And besides my merciful decision ... " Martin says.
" I think we must prepare to unite ourselves in order to fight the real problem in Tartarus .... " Martin says as when the sun rises in the dessert of Tartarus, a silhouette is seen flying, wherefrom there the humanoid silhouette then descends as the sun's light bathes his appearance.
" This presence .... " Sphinxer says as he recognizes it.
" Father ... "
