Chapter 193 Full Alert.
SWOOOSH!
With Vincent's incredible speed, he darted through the corridors while carrying Selene in his embraced.
They reached Erika's location swiftly, fully prepared for a fierce confrontation. Yet, what they encountered was not chaotic battle.
Stepping into the room, a bone-chilling scene materialized before them. The air was permeated with an eerie stillness, as though time had frozen in its tracks. Everything in the room was trapped in an icy embraced.
At the center of the room, two colossal figures lay sprawled on the ground, their massive forms encased in ice. Their faces were etched with frozen expressions of shock and surprise, as if they had been trapped within the icy prison before they could even comprehend what was unfolding around them.
The sight was indeed haunting, revealing the immense power that Erika possessed.
'They're still alive ?' Vincent muttered to himself . He could sense that the two figures were far from ordinary; there was an unmistakable vitality and energy emanating from them, despite their frozen state.
"You took your time, didn't you?" Erika chuckled, her voice resonating through the frozen silence as she casually sat into an ice chair she had conjured. Her lighthearted tone pierced through the tension, acknowledging Vincent and Selene's arrival.
"Aunt Erika!" She exclaimed with uncontainable excitement, her voice filled with pure joy. Her childlike enthusiasm took over as she rushed forward, wrapping her arms around Erika in a tight embrace.
The sight brought a smile to everyone's face, as the hug made Erika appear smaller and more delicate in comparison. It was a lighthearted and endearing moment, showcasing the affection between the two.
"Selene, you've grown so much," Erika teased playfully, a warm smile adorning her face.
"The last time I saw you, you were just half the size you are now!" Her words held a nostalgic fondness as she reminisced about the past. Having been close friends with Selene's mother, her heart swelled with genuine joy at seeing Selene and witnessing her growth into a fine young woman.
Too fine in fact . She was compelled to look at Selene's set of tits, which could make any woman envious. Then her gaze shifted to Vincent .
"So, Vincent, did you enjoy your time with her?" Erika inquired mischievously, her smile widening with a glint of understanding in her eyes. Her playful tone suggested that she had picked up on the chemistry between Vincent and Selene during their time together.
Selene's face instantly flushed crimson upon hearing Erika's words, her cheeks giving away her embarrassment and confirming Erika's suspicions.
"You and Evangeline already anticipated this, didn't you?" he shook his head, a hint of frustration in his expression. He couldn't help but feel like he had been unwittingly guided by Erika and Evangeline once again.
"Of course, and don't tell me you did not enjoy it?" Erika responded, her tone filled with playfulness.
"You were able to experience something other men only dare to imagine ,and even create your own personal domain in the process. It's an extraordinary feat, Vincent!" Erika's words carried a genuine sense of admiration and delight, as she marveled at the incredible achievement he had accomplished in such a short time.
But why does he feel that she was teasing him instead? What extraordinary feat does she mean? Is she referring how he sucked Selene's milk like a wild animal ? or is about his domain?
"How did you know that?" He asked with a firm tone , trying to shift the awkward conversation.
"The fact that you drank her juicy milk or how you managed to create a domain?" But Erika spoiled his plan. She acted like she was clueless which made Vincent speechless .
"The domain," he replied with a defeated expression.
"Oh, we already anticipated that you will suck her milk made of pure energy, " she replied while relishing in Vincent's defeated expression. She felt a twinge of jealousy, so she decided to tease him a little bit. Despite her claims of being okay with sharing him, she couldn't help but feel the emotions of a woman in love. It was only natural.
"I'm not talking about that . " he sighed .
"Alright , I'll stop teasing you " Erika giggled.
"I felt the fluctuations in the space, and judging from the power surge of energy, it was clear to me that you had skip multiple levels and directly created a personal domain. " she replied .
Only those who had their own domain like her could truly appreciate how challenging it was to upgrade their domain rank. It was not simply a matter of energy reserved, but also of potential and luck.
"I didn't know that creating a domain would cause such strong fluctuations," he replied.
"Unfortunately, I'm not the only one who felt it. That kind of powerful energy fluctuation would be easily detected by others as well," She warned him.
"I'm pretty sure that this whole place is now under surveillance by multiple satellites. I can feel that you have become stronger but you have not yet fully mastered your domain." Erika added. Her diligent study of modern knowledge, combined with the information shared by Evangeline about satellites, had allowed her to reach this conclusion.
"You're right ," he acknowledged that the acquisition of his domain had undeniably made him stronger, but he was still aware that he had only scratched the surface of his newfound power.
He understood that creating a domain was just the initial step in a much larger process.To fully comprehend and harness the vast potential within him, he needed time to fully make this power his own.
"What do you plan to do with these two? Aunt Erika?" Selene interjected into their conversation.
Despite the betrayal of the twins, she remained composed and kind-hearted. She didn't harbor any anger towards them, recognizing that they were mere pawns in an elaborate scheme to dethroned her. She was well aware that her own uncle was the true mastermind behind her capture.
"Let's leave them here for now, I have plans for them in the future." Erika replied. She had already dealt with the two Minotaurs after sensing Vincent's domain, but she chose not to approach him immediately. She knew that if she left to go to him, the two Minotaurs might seize the opportunity to break the ice and disturb Vincent's domain creation process.
Why not kill them instead ? Well, Evangeline had warned her to avoid killing Rank S supernaturals if possible. With the impending war looming closer, preserving their power would be crucial. Moreover, it would be a waste to eliminate them, considering that this organization will eventually be taken over by them, sooner or later.
As for how they would do it , their plan involves coming back after Selene has fully recovered her power. Since she was still the Queen of the Minotaur clan, all she needs was Evangeline's backing to once again conquer them.
"Let's get out of this place then," Vincent suggested, breaking the tense silence that had settled in the room. He recognized the urgency of the situation and the potential danger they faced.
"Okay" Selene and Erika nodded in agreement.

USSF HEADQUARTERS - AREA 50
The entire room fell into a state of turmoil as everyone's gaze was fixated on the giant screen before them.
Displayed on the screen was a map of the United States, filled with circular spots ranging from green -orange to red. Tension filled the air as the eyes of all present were drawn to one specific location on the map [ Colorado Spring ]
A sudden and intense fluctuation in energy emanated from that spot, causing a collective gasp of horror to escape the lips of those in the room. The strength of the energy disturbance was so overwhelming that it sent shivers down their spines, foreshadowing an impending catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.
But upon investigation, they found no signs of any explosions whatsoever. This could only mean that the event might be the result of a supernatural being creating a domain.
"How strong were the energy surges?" a man wearing a military uniform with a four-star pin on it asked in a commanding tone.
This man was General McArther, the leading commander of the United States Supernatural Force (USSF). The USSF held true authority over supernatural powers in the United States, and DSAS was just one part of their many departments.
"It's around... 8.5 megatons," one of the personnel replied with a shivering voice. 8.5 megatons was equivalent to 8,500,000 tons of TNT.
That amount of energy was terrifyingly strong. Even Watson, considered the most powerful Supernatural Being in the USA at present, has only generated around 900 kilotons of energy when he first created his domain.
Of course, this number does not imply that these beings could destroy a city with a single punch. It simply quantifies the initial amount of power required to create a domain. The destructive potential of a being within their domain may vary and is not solely determined by the domain's energy output.
But one thing was for sure, someone capable of generating 8.5 megatons of energy solely to create a domain would undoubtedly be significantly more powerful than others. Such an immense display of energy indicates an extraordinary level of power and potential.
"First, there's this Diablo guy in Turkmenistan, and now another powerful unknown being in the US? What the hell is happening in the world?" General McArther's face contorted in frustration.
They had believed that human technology would be sufficient to control these supernatural beings, but the world was undergoing a drastic shift. More and more overpowering entities were revealing themselves, as if preparing for something .
"Is the end of the world near ?" he sighed .
