Grey's eyes locked onto the approaching figure.
A man in dark robes stepped out of the void, his aura pressing down with the force of a Sixth-Level Twelfth-Rank expert. His eyes swept over the forming Chaos Mine, and greed flashed across his face.
"A newly formed mine," the man muttered. "And right beside a freshly ascended universe, how convenient."
He had not noticed Grey's group yet. His full focus was on the wealth in front of him.
Grey turned to Alissa and Alan with a deadpan look on his face.
"Jump him!"
The three of them moved at once.
Alan attacked first, his peak Twelfth-Rank power slammed into the intruder like a raging sea. The man's face changed, and he barely raised a rushed defense in time.
"What?!"
Grey appeared right in front of him.
"Nexus Overclock, 1000%."
His fist slammed into the man's chest before he could react. The impact sent him flying through the crystallised void, smashing through several walls of solid chaos.
