Chereads / A Day Before Doom Strikes / Chapter 22 - The Seal

Chapter 22 - The Seal

Tommy had fallen unconscious.

But then, he got out of it in no time... but after he opened his eyes, something felt extremely weird with the surrounding area and his body.

He couldn't feel his body.

His skills remained unresponsive.

His body's anatomy seemed locked that even his essence of life felt distant from him.

What's going on?

Where am I?

However, he heard a deafening sound colliding upon the ground and splitting the earth.

Boom!

Tommy turned his head from his position, and his eyes widened when he saw several holographic images which displayed earth.

In these images, very strange machines worked under the earth while at the same time, causing destructions to the earth in tandem.

Then...

Another scene caused Tommy's eyes to widen in horror.

These machines under the ground were spewing purple fog and the moment it touches living things, for example plants... they began to wither and turn to ash.

He quickly turned looking for his kidnappers...

He did not understand what was going on, but as it seems– earth is already in grave danger. Not even twenty Sovereigns would stop these machines under the earth.

"Hey!!!"

"Anyone there? Let me out this minute!"

Tommy screamed. And almost immediately a man appeared Instantly as he glared at Tommy with wary eyes.

"You really are very difficult, for an Awakened. Our kidnap had failed three good times. For some reason, you always have a way to escape us."

The man chuckled causing Tommy's eyes to grow hard.

"Probably, our fourth kidnap would have likely failed... But you had priority to protect your friends delaying you for a moment and that was all we needed to successfully abduct you."

Another man appeared as he walked towards the holographic images.

"Amir, let him be... He's dangerous!"

"We're still trying to figure out why he reincarnated and becomes the President's son instead of his simple life as the flower boy of Echelon High School." The burly man–Underworld who stood observing the holographic images spurted out, not even caring that the person they spoke about is currently within their midst.

Meanwhile, Tommy's eyes widened.

"I reincarnated?"

Amir Instantly sneered.

"Yes you did... Don't you remember Casey who used to be your father and not Tristan?"

Suddenly, Tommy had a very heavy sense of dèjá Vú.

Something suddenly clouded his memory to prevent him from remembering, but at the same time, a strange seal came to life within his chest and shattered to fragments.

Tommy was trying to decipher what was going on when he suddenly felt a monstrous stream of strength flow into his body that almost immediately, he broke free from whatever power that kept him in such state of laxity.

Tommy did not try to stand up from his position as he tried to comprehend the newfound strength.

However, before he could continue with the comprehension a sudden memory popped into his mind.

"Your seal would be broken temporarily allowing you to access your full strength... However, it would be sealed once you achieve your desired goal!"

Tommy's face turned contemplative and he thought...

These men are definitely plotting against earth. Hmm!

Tommy monitored them both for a while.

"When do you think that the infection would spread throughout the world? I'm starting to get worried, Underworld?"

Amir said with a strange expression on his face.

"There's an Awakened in our custody. Let's not show him that weak side of ours. We are aiming for success, nothing shall come in our way."

Amir's eyes immediately flashed.

"I think it's time we add Wake of ruin into the fray."

Underworld chuckled.

The small communicator by the guage control, he spoke into it...

"Unleash Wake of Ruin!"

Then within the earth, a massive purple colored dome appeared upon the earth, stopping anyone from leaving or returning. And within the dome, people within it are forced to to inhale the ashen fogs excreted by the machines from underground.

And as it is inhaled, the human body pales... and disintegrated from ever touching with the realm of Awakened.

And if an Awakened inhales it, their Awakened power would Instantly be cancelled dropping them back at the mortal level.

Even a Transcendent or a Sovereigns would be reduced back to their mortal nature once inhaled.

And the purple dome is to prevent anyone from leaving... to make sure that the ashen fogs is inhales by everyone. By now, no one can do without breathing.

And by a few hours, these fogs should have completely filled up the earth's atmosphere.

"We would definitely be the world's most strongest after this," Amir was smiling but then he turned.

"What should we do about Tommy he–"

Amir did not complete his statement, but his eyes widened seeing Tommy seated on the sofa somewhere behind drinking a juice from their lemon fridge.

"Underworld, look!"

Underworld turned, a similar expression contorting his face.

"How is this possible? He should not be able to free himself from my power... he's merely Awakened." Amir whispered.

However, a bad premonition struck them like a bad omen.

Tommy sure is not someone simple.
