Apocalyptic Rebirth: With a repairman system space, she rises again.-Chapter 535: Lord Emily’s last fight.

Sunshine took a deep breath. With all the tools at her disposal, she would survive. Teleporting out of the mist with the help of the system was simple.

"Remember that I love you and tell the boys I will be home for dinner. Now go conquer another territory for us while I bring our people home."

He remained silent. But she could hear his breathing, deep and uneasy. She understood his fear, not many people made it back from the mist alive. But now was not the time to reassure him. She disconnected him and moved forward cautiously. The mist clung to her like a wet blanket, looking for a way around her exo suit. It desired to seep into her lungs, to distort her vision and choke her.

She exhaled deliberately, releasing a puff of poison breath--a green vapor that hissed out of the helmet. The mist recoiled slightly, as if offended.

Hunter barked once, padding beside her quietly. Her antennas were twitching and the sensors pinging. "There is someone ahead. One of ours."

"Good dog." she muttered.

It led the way and she followed, coming across Gregg. Mist clung to his metallic skin, he was holding a mask over his nose, breathing in desperately while his free hand slapped the air.

"Oh, thank God it’s you." He removed the mask and sighed in relief.

Sunshine waved her hand once and he vanished. "System, spray him with sleeping gas. In fact, spray everyone I send into my living space with sleeping gas."

[Got it.]

"I have got Gregg." She announced to the others.

Suddenly, the ground tilted. Gravity shifted sideways, and she stumbled before lifting off the ground a few inches. The mist swirled, revealing Emily, standing upside down on nothing. Her hair was dangling toward the ground. "Fancy meeting you here. Ground too hot?"

"Funny," Sunshine replied, "I was just thinking the same about you."

She flicked her hand and lightning arced through the mist. It illuminated the fog in cracked flashes, revealing a mutant winged serpent that had been crossing. Sunshine hurled ice shards at it, slicing it to pieces. At the same time, she dodged a sneak attack from Emily.

The fight ensued, Sunshine slashed with ice and Emily bent space, redirecting everything ice that was hurled at her. Hunter fired a missile, but Sunshine froze it.

"We are blind in here, it could it anyone when redirected, even our people."

Emily chuckled. "That was the point, I dragged you all in here so that you could kill each other. You cannot fight me if you cannot see me, while I can just bury everyone on here and find my way out." She raised her hand, shattering the frozen pillars Sunshine had raised.

Sunshine countered by lowering her helmet and hurling a mouthful of poison breath at Emily. The mist thickened, pressing down against the poison as if it was an illegal entity whose presence was not allowed.

Emily laughed. "It looks like even the mist wants me to win. I can see what you meant by many tricks. This just means I should not fight you up close." She put a distance between them.

"Let me at her." Hunter begged.

"No." Sunshine shook her head. "Go and find the others, send them to the space."

The dog was reluctant to part ways, but she did not leave her with a choice. The fight continued, ice and electricity clashing against warped gravity. Even the hammer came to play, ensuring that no matter how far Emily escaped, she was always within Sunshine’s arm length. If not for the mist, with just poison, Sunshine would have won the fight within two minutes.

But it dragged on for four hours. Longer than Sunshine imagined.

Echoes of laughter surrounded them, as if the mist was a supportive spectator of the fight. It pissed Sunshine all the more, making her lightning bolts unhinged.

"You can always run out of ice and gas, but I can warp space all day." Emily declared. "Yield to me. I could use someone of your talents on my team. If you don’t yield, I promise to give you the most painful death anyone has ever experienced. Do you know what it is like for air to squeeze you to death from within? If you don’t want to find out, yield to me."

Sunshine grinned through clenched teeth. "Not my style." She released a surge of electricity amplified by ice. The shockwave blasted upward and outward, ripping violently through the gravity field Emily was controlling. The woman screamed, thrown back.

Sunshine advanced, frost spreading with each step. Her hammer reached before her, smashing Emily’s hands to keep her from flicking or flipping them in any way.

By the time Sunshine arrived, Emily barely had usable bones left in her hands. She stood over the woman, summoning a spear of ice. "I told you this would not end in your favor. Now look at you, no hands, no ability to control gravity. I bet you wish you had a superpower you can control with your mouth...."

Emily’s feet started moving, levitating her upwards. Sunshine stabbed the ice spear through the right one. Emily cried out loud. The sound of her pain traveled through the mist, reaching every corner.

"Looks like I need to strip you of your ability permanently." Sunshine said. She squatted down, took an already prepared syringe from the space and stabbed into Emily’s arm. Then, she winced. "What if the mist heals you? I cannot have that happening."

Emily had been walking around in the mist with no mask. What if she miraculously awakened a second ability? It was better to be safe than sorry.

"Wait...." Emily said in a hoarse voice. "We can work this out, I surrender."

"Too late. You promised to kill me. I would be a fool to leave you alive." Sunshine turned around as the hammer rose. It smashed...and smashed...and smashed. When she turned around, a minute later. there was no Emily, just something so gore and unrecognizable. She froze it and out it all in a cooler. Later, she would have it incinerated.

There would be no resurrections on her watch!

"Emily is dead, I repeat, Emily Stafford is dead." Sunshine announced.

Some responses came back to her immediately. But she did not dwell on them and waved her hand, pulling a car from her space. Following the directions from the system, she found Hunter.

The dog was with the last of her people and some of Vicente’s men. They had arrested some of Emily’s unlucky people that ended up in the mist. Of the five they had got their hands on, three were choking on the mist. The other two were hallucinating.

Sunshine looked at Vicente, he was kneeling before Stefano asking him to breathe like he had taught him. Stefano was a skilled mist walker whom he had trained but this was far from the usual mists they walked into.

"Did you give him a reddix pill?" She asked.

Vicente looked behind Sunshine, at the vague shape of a car. "How did you drive here?"

She snapped her fingers. "Is he okay or not?"

"He will be fine." Hunter told her. "But we need to get out of the mist. You can only inhale so much before it decides to kill you."

A shadow passed above them and they raised their heads. More shadows passed. Those shapes were unmistakable, it was watchers. They were back and their timing was awfully suspicious.

"We need to get out of the mist, right now." Sunshine barked.
