"Are you trying to use my kindness to buy yourself time?"

The corners of Kate’s mouth lifted slightly, the mockery on her face plain for all to see.

She raised her hand and patted Jimmy on the cheek.

"Idiot. You’ve misunderstood one thing. I don’t care about these ants who came to help you. In fact... I’m very much looking forward to them."

As Kate spoke, she subconsciously licked the corner of her lips. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her entire bearing became that of a predator waiting for the hunt to begin.

At the same time, on the other side, the Awakeners of the other races finally arrived above the enormous island.

The moment they saw Jimmy’s miserable state, they barely hesitated before launching an attack on Kate.

Almost instantly, overwhelming waves of energy filled the entire sky.

Powerful rays, unstable explosives, sword beams...

All kinds of attacks burst forth in dazzling colors, creating an incomparably spectacular sight.

Faced with the incoming barrage, Kate merely let out a cold snort. At the same time, she raised her hand and waved lightly, as though bidding them farewell.

In the next moment, the gigantic serpent in the sky opened its bloody maw. A massive energy vortex instantly formed inside its mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming flood of skills was swallowed whole by the giant serpent, like clouds swept away by a raging wind.

The entire sky was cleared out along with it.

When the Awakeners who had rushed over to provide support saw this scene, they all seemed to slam on the brakes, coming to an abrupt stop in midair.

Wait, was this some kind of joke?

Their full-powered assault had been neutralized so casually?

"You weaklings actually dare to attack me? You really have a death wish!"

Kate impatiently whistled at the giant serpent.

In the next moment, scales began falling from the serpent’s massive body like rain, descending toward the heads of the Awakeners.

Every single scale that fell instantly transformed into a small snake.

For a time, those small snakes and the Awakeners erupted into an intense battle.

What those Awakeners could not understand, even in their wildest dreams, was why they could not even handle a single little snake. Instead, they were forced into retreat again and again.

If Kate had not been deliberately holding back, unwilling to kill too many Awakeners, then among those present, perhaps not even one in ten would have survived.

Just as Kate believed she had already dealt with this bunch of trash and was preparing to move to another area to continue searching for the inheritor’s whereabouts...

In the next instant, among the small snakes under her control, one of them was suddenly and easily erased, turning into a cloud of metallic powder.

Kate’s footsteps paused. A flash of anger appeared in her eyes.

On the other side, Jimmy’s face revealed a relieved smile.

"Oh, Tina. You finally decided to make a move."

"But judging from the look of it, your strength doesn’t seem to have improved all that much."

Faced with Jimmy’s teasing, Tina, who had a head of fiery red hair, immediately shot back without hesitation.

"Jimmy, you miserable idiot. Look at the sorry state you’re in right now. I’m really curious—what kind of mindset are you using to mock me?"

In the next moment, Tina fiercely grabbed Jimmy by the throat.

A pained expression immediately appeared on Jimmy’s face. His face turned red as he struggled desperately, his limbs twisting and thrashing nonstop.

Just when everyone thought Jimmy was doomed...

A green light suddenly began to flicker from Tina’s palm.

After only a few short breaths, Jimmy’s broken body was completely wrapped in that green light. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, his wounds began to heal, and his lost limbs started growing back.

"Well, well. Another inheritor has shown up. Not a bad harvest today."

Kate licked the corner of her lips and looked Tina up and down with great interest. However, she made no move to stop Tina from healing Jimmy.

In truth, as early as several years ago, Jimmy and Tina had already secretly established a cooperative relationship.

Although they were also enemies destined by fate, before they turned against each other, they still shared one common enemy.

And that enemy was the Chosen One of this era.

Only this time, Jimmy had misjudged the reliability of their alliance.

Originally, when he was fighting Kate, Tina should have entered the battlefield as an ambusher.

But reality proved otherwise. Tina had only chosen to act after Jimmy had been severely injured.

Evelyn stood in the distance, silently watching the battlefield.

The moment she saw Tina appear, the energy within her body began to surge uncontrollably!

Her pupils suddenly contracted. An unprecedented sense of absurdity enveloped her entire body.

"She... she’s another inheritor of the [Dark Titan]?"

Kate was not particularly worried about Tina’s appearance.

She merely swept a calm glance over Jimmy and Tina, then said in an indifferent tone,

"Since you’ve both come out, then please die together."

"Oh, right. Do the two of you prefer to be buried together, or separately?"

At Kate’s words, an icy look flashed across Tina’s cheeks.

"I don’t know who you are, but you have truly angered me. So now, you need to pay the price for that."

As she spoke, a long, slender metal staff appeared in Tina’s hand.

In the next moment, green light instantly wrapped around both her and Jimmy.

Countless streams of energy surged into Tina and Jimmy’s bodies in an instant. Their bodies seemed to have transformed into bottomless pits, continuously absorbing the energy gathering from all directions.

When Evelyn saw this scene, her eyes narrowed slightly.

The Supreme Staff floated beside her, and its voice carried a thick sense of surprise.

"Who would have thought? We actually stumbled into a support-branch inheritor by accident. Evelyn, if you can obtain the inheritance item in her hand, I guarantee your strength will undergo a heaven-shaking transformation!"

The corners of Evelyn’s mouth twitched slightly. Her gaze lingered on Kate for a moment before she muttered,

"Compared to that, we should probably think about how to deal with this problem first."

"If not for Lord Caelan’s intervention, she would probably already be impatient to kill me, wouldn’t she?"

On the other side, after receiving Tina’s enhancement, Jimmy’s entire aura recovered to its peak once again.

In fact, it even seemed to have risen by quite a bit!

"Go, Jimmy, my good little dog."

Tina smiled faintly and waved the staff in her hand, as though she were controlling Jimmy’s movements.

The moment Jimmy heard this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

But he knew very clearly in his heart that right now, he could only rely on Tina’s power.

Only by taking back his inheritance item would he truly possess the capital to negotiate with Tina.

"Damn it, you have no idea how powerful that little girl who suddenly appeared really is!"

"Tina, this isn’t the time to play around. We have to join forces. Do you understand?"

Tina narrowed her eyes slightly. At the tip of the staff in her hand, an enchanting orange-red glow began to flicker.

"My dear baby Jimmy, then come with me."
