Over, dressed in stone armor, quickly found his bearings and realized who had sealed Zeus in the iron dome. Along with the rest of the enemies, he noticed a group of supers holding their opponent inside a metal shell. One of the military men controlled the magnetic field, and the other two protected it from enemy attacks.

The opposing forces quickly realized that neutralizing this group would mean releasing Zeus. Ignoring the danger posed by other super-defenders, the enemies rushed towards the group holding their gift. The defensive line began to weaken as Fireball, which decided to strike the defenders, created a blinding flash of flame that caused white spots to flicker in the defenders' eyes.

Alexandru, realizing the critical situation, intervened. Using his mental abilities, he established a mental connection with Fireball, seeking to attract his attention and force him to take his mind off the destruction.

- Roman, it’s me, Alex. At the bottom. - Alexander mentally addressed Fireball, trying to penetrate his rage and determination to attack.

Fireball, sensing a familiar voice in his mind, slowed down his actions and concentrated on the message. Slight confusion appeared on his face when he noticed the hare below. Its flames weakened for a moment, allowing the defenders to regroup.

- Alex? You learned to talk! Or get into the brain? Cool shadow! You will definitely teach me! - Fireball mentally responded, still looking around. - Alive and well, right? What's the plan?

- Imitate activity, do not engage in battle. Only respond if you are attacked. I'll need your help after all this. I want my body back. Can you help? - Alexander answered, trying to speak briefly and to the point.

- Certainly! - Fireball instantly agreed. Roman was not embarrassed that they were now on different sides of the same conflict.

After this short conversation, Fireball flew even higher, to the level of the destroyed roof, and began vigorous activity in the air. The heat from its flames was terrifying, the air around them trembled with heat, but no specific damage was inflicted on the opponents. He created the appearance of powerful attacks, distracting attention and causing panic among opponents.

At this time, Alexander, observing what was happening, could not help but notice the supera in stone armor, who, without meeting resistance, passed through the ranks of the defenders, as if they were invisible. He easily scattered two supers blocking his path, and was now only ten meters from the super that held Zeus in the iron dome.

Sofia, noticing that this enemy was threatening the entire operation, reacted quickly. She began throwing ice projectiles right at the feet of the stone one above. Ice instantly formed around his feet, significantly slowing down his movement and preventing further progress towards his goal.

- Slow him down, Sofia! - Ivan shouted, seeing how the ice shackles began to have an effect.

Sofia redoubled her efforts, creating more and more ice barriers in the enemy's path. Each new stalagmite or ice on the floor made his movement more and more difficult. She aimed her ice projectiles accurately, aiming at key points to make it as difficult as possible for him to reach the top holding Zeus.

Also, other supers, noticing Sofia's efforts, began to join the defense, using their abilities to create additional barriers and obstacles to hold back the advance of the stone enemy.

Meanwhile, a battle broke out on the roof of the university, but with very disastrous results. He lifted Andrei above the ground with a powerful tornado over the enemy. Ten meters, and then a free fall. His life was cut short, and he found himself in the Edge - a place where souls temporarily stay before returning or moving to another world. Wasting no time, he found a free portal and quickly resurrected, but again faced a strong opponent.

Andrey was weak, although he was a good analyst, but essentially he was not a fighter. Which more than once made him angry with himself and often with Businka. After all, this little animal was stronger than an adult man. Andrei wanted a fighting gift for himself, he wanted Sofia’s attention. I wanted to take her away from Ivan. He wanted a lot, but had little.

When he opened his eyes, towering over him was an enemy with the power of the wind, whose power over the elements made him a formidable opponent. He placed his foot on Andrei's chest, keeping him pinned to the ground, and began to activate his spiritual gift. Gusts of wind, like thousands of invisible needles, began to destroy Andrei's body with frightening efficiency. The man screamed in pain, trying with all his strength to hit the enemy’s leg, but he was covered with a spiritual shield. With every second there was more pain, and less and less strength. The enemy hovered above him like an inevitable reaper, holding the whirlwind of wind at Andrey. First, his skin was worn away layer by layer, then the gusts pierced muscles and tore tissue, reaching bones and organs.

Moments fly by like hours, but everything happened in a matter of seconds. The enemy did not stop attacking until every layer of Andreev’s body disappeared, and nothing remained of him except fragments of memories. In less than a minute, Andrei ceased to exist in this world, forever lost in the whirlwind of the incessant wind. Stuck in the Edge.

Below, in the center of the hall, the stone one above shouted:

- Free Zeus! - and rushed to the group holding the iron dome. Although his movements were slowed down by the ice that Sofia was throwing at his feet, this did not stop him from grabbing a huge piece of stone and throwing it at Ivan. The blow knocked off Ivan's shield, and he was thrown to the side.

The over-defenders tried to hold back the onslaught. The stone one made his way to the iron dome, scattering the defenders. Meanwhile, the remaining enemy supers, not counting Fireball, attacked the group holding Zeus, tearing their positions apart with debris and whirlwinds. But the military did not lag behind, keeping the enemy under a constant hail of attacks.

Ivan recovered and rushed forward and made it on time. The stone one, having accelerated, tried to leave the line of fire, where he noticed Sofia. He ran at her and could ram through the girl’s ice shield and Bead’s spiritual barrier with a ram. Ivan's body became a human shield for Sofia as he slammed into his opponent with such force that he took several steps back.

The battle between Ivan and the stone above unfolded with terrifying force. Using his mastery of forming shields on the move, Ivan created barriers of pure energy in an attempt to block his opponent's blows. Each of his shields emitted a strong glow, emitting waves of energy with every movement that caused the stone debris around him to spark and crack.

Stone Over, in turn, demonstrated impressive control over stone. He manipulated stone slabs and debris as extensions of his hands. He threw stone blocks, trying to knock Ivan down, every time he formed a new shield. At one point, the enemy gathered massive stone gauntlets around his hands and struck the energy barrier with force, creating cracks in its structure.

Ivan, maneuvering and responding with blows, tried to look for weak points in the defense of the stone top. He burst into the loopholes between the stone blocks, trying to break through to the enemy’s body. However, the enemy was adamant, and each attack by Ivan was met with increasingly strong resistance.

The culmination of the battle was a powerful blow from the stone above, when he, having gathered all the power of his stone abilities, released a huge boulder from his hands, aimed directly at Ivan. Ivan's shield, already weakened by previous blows, could not stand it. The boulder crushed the barrier and hit Ivan directly, sending him flying across the hall. Ivan fell to the ground, trying to gather his strength, but the blow was so strong that he lost consciousness for a moment.

Stone Over, who used the moment to restore his strength, received a powerful blow to the head. The ice block failed to penetrate his head, but brought trouble. The man growled like an animal and ran, picking up great speed and, gathering all his power, crashed into Sofia at full speed, knocking her down along with Alexander sitting on her shoulder. The protective shield was unable to completely stop the impact, and they flew about fifteen meters, breaking through part of the stand and destroying the wooden benches. The impact was so strong that a spark was knocked out of the shield, and debris scattered to the sides. hitting Sophia with the battering ram, sending her flying. The bunny fell after seven meters, but the girl hit the floor and froze five meters from the enemy.

Alexander shook his head, then rose to his feet and quickly jumped towards the enemy, who seemed not to pay attention to the small animal. Pushing off from the protruding part of the table, Businka jumped onto his opponent’s neck. His claws dug into the stone armor, leaving deep scratches but not reaching the flesh. The defense was too strong, and the stone super repelled the attack with one powerful blow.

The hare, which was thrown away by the enemy, was literally thrown into the air and flew several meters back, hitting the concrete floor of the hall heavily. Painful blows swept through his entire body, but Alexander did not give up. He, feeling deafening pain, rose to his paws again, ready to fight further, despite the superiority of the enemy.

Meanwhile, Ivan woke up again and again rushed at the enemy. He gave in, but could take the time that Sophia and the hare needed. Alexander himself, realizing the ineffectiveness of his claws against the enemy’s stone armor, Alexander decided to change tactics. While Ivan distracted the enemy with his bold and risky fighting, Alexander saw an opportunity to improve his abilities.

He concentrated deeply, calling upon the power of his soul. At first he tried to adapt his previous technique, but soon realized that to break through such an intricate weave, he needed much more time. It is easier to knit a new spiritual bond by investing the energy of your souls into it to form meter-long claws.

With a mental order, the movement of souls in the body, sparkling energy lines materialized in the air, which gradually formed into long and sharp claws. These new claws emitted a cold light and vibrated with stored energy, becoming noticeably longer and stronger than the previous ones. The only thing left to do is tie them together with one thread, one touch of which will get you a new set of claws. He also decided to leave the old ones and make something like twin blades.

After three long minutes, he succeeded. But during this time, Ivan was knocked out again and apparently killed. Then Alexander froze only for a moment, but then returned to weaving.

It was a long three minutes. Ivan died, Stone returned to Sofia, who had already begun to come to her senses. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, she quickly activated her ice gift to hold back the enemy's pressure. Sofia created ice barriers and frost on the floor to make it difficult for the stone top to move, while simultaneously trying to deal damage with sharp ice projectiles.

Stone Over, using his power of stone control, responded with a powerful swing of his hand that destroyed one of the ice barriers. Every step he took was filled with confidence and strength, and although Sofia skillfully manipulated the ice, the mass and strength of his stone armor made it difficult for her to stop him.

Sofia tried her best to keep her distance, creating more and more ice barriers, but the enemy over, not paying attention to the cold and slippery floor, was still slowly but surely approaching. At one point, dodging her attack and breaking the last barrier, he closed the distance between them.

Sofia, realizing that her capabilities were running out, made a last attempt to hit her enemy with an ice spear. However, the stone superman, quickly assessing the situation, broke the spear with one hand and with the other struck a blow that knocked her down. Sofia fell, and the enemy, not giving her a chance to get up, began to strike blow after blow to her face.

Each blow was deadly accurate and brutal. Sofia tried to defend herself, but her strength was quickly fading. Finally, unable to resist any longer, she lost consciousness. The stone over continued to beat until she stopped breathing.

- Ha-ha-ha! - the man laughed. He was distracted in vain, as the hare attacked him, using all his strength and improved claws, which were now like harvester blades.

Each strike of his claws was aimed with devastating precision. He literally tore apart the enemy's stone armor, allowing his sharp claws to penetrate deeper. Alexander aimed at the most vulnerable spot - the heart from above. With a decisive blow, he pierced the armor and reached his target, feeling his claws plunge into a vital organ.

Having made a decisive leap upward, he, like a bloody hare, escaped from the body of the killed enemy, leaving behind a trajectory of blood and destruction. In order for the stone one on top to recover, he needed a sea of souls, so there was no need to worry about his return. The moment he got out, a powerful explosion occurred in the hall. Zeus, using his power, finally managed to free himself from under the metal dome, which was held by the military above. He killed him first of all by creating a beam of pure energy.

Now freed, Zeus sowed death and destruction, directing his angry power against all he encountered. Lightning bolts of his anger rushed across the hall, each of them leaving behind only destruction and scraps. The Supers who tried to contain him or at least survive were knocked down by powerful explosions and blows.

Zeus flew through the hall like a storm, leaving no one in his path. His face was distorted with anger. His power was such that no one could resist him one on one, and even groups of supers retreated, trying to slow down his destructive path at least a little.

So Zeus again became the main threat, enveloping the hall in a whirlwind of horror and death, and it became clear that the battle would enter a new, even more brutal phase.

While Zeus furiously threw lightning across the hall, causing chaos and destruction, Ivan, overcoming the pain and weakness after his recent death, ran to Sophia's body. Excitement was frozen in his eyes, but a sudden message from Alexander brought him back to reality.

- Throw me to Zeus, it's time to end this! - Alexander conveyed through a mental connection. Ivan nodded, gathering his strength, and with all his might he threw the hare straight towards the raging Zeus.

Alexander, rapidly flying through the air, turned to Fireshar:

- Roma, hit Zeus, take off his shield! - Roman, hovering above everyone after the conversation with Alexander, without hesitation released a powerful fireball, which hit Zeus with a roar. The fire filled the hall, causing Zeus to instantly become distracted and destroy his protective field.

Zeus, shocked by the sudden betrayal, shouted in English: “What are you doing?” It was at that moment that Alexander, bloodied but full of determination, landed right on his face.

The sudden and unexpected enemy made Zeus stagger. Alexander, using the moment of surprise, activated all his powers to inflict as much damage as possible. His spiritual claws, lengthened and strengthened by the previous transformation, were released again, and he began to mercilessly cut at Zeus's head.

At the same time, his own skin sparkled and burned from the lightning emanating from the enemy’s body. Zeus, despite severe wounds, recovered with amazing speed, demonstrating almost endless vitality. The situation devolved into a grueling battle of attrition, where every blow seemed useless.

At this critical moment, when the eyes of Zeus and Alexander met, Cassandra's Whisper rang in Alexander's ears: “You won't like this...” These words became a harbinger of something unimaginable, and Alexander's consciousness was instantly immersed in the memories of Zeus.

Suddenly Alexander saw the world of Grani through the eyes of Zeus. In this memory, Zeus attacked the abode of one of the Sisters, Sonya. He easily made his way through the spiritual, guarding her abode of dreams.

A clearing opened up ahead, where a sleeping girl lay in silence - the image of Sonya, so defenseless and peaceful. Zeus, driven by an unknown malice or purpose, flew up to her. Without the slightest hesitation, he committed his black act, brutally killing her in her sleep. Sonya's calm face at the last moment gave way to an expression of shock and pain. She whispered before dying:

- Alexander…

The memory changed and now Zeus is standing in front of Charon. The guy who gave Sonya's soul to Charon received the elixir of life as a reward. But it didn't matter. Alexander’s chest was simply torn with grief and anger.

The memories ended abruptly, leaving Alexander in a reality where he and Zeus were both screaming - the first in anger and pain of loss, the second in pain caused by Cassandra's gift. The loss of Sonya and Charon's betrayal made Alexander's anger boundless.

Alexander mustered all his anger and determination to destroy Zeus, who at that moment burst into pure lightning energy and quickly flew away, trying to avoid the inevitable collision. In a last attempt to reach him, Alexander lunged forward, but a powerful bolt of lightning released from Zeus threw him back.

Scorched and exhausted from effort, Alexander began to fall. With every meter of free fall, he felt his anger cooling down. As he approached the ground, his thoughts were about Sonya. Consciousness was leaving him.

At the critical moment, when Alexander, exhausted and wounded, rushed to the ground, Fireball rushed towards him and caught him at the last moment, preventing a fatal collision with the ground.

- Alex, how are you? Alex? - he asked, but the hare remained unconscious, breathing heavily in his arms.

Roma, despite the danger, held his friend tightly and, like a fiery comet, began to gain altitude, trying to carry Alexander away from the battlefield and possible danger. However, Fireball's peaceful purpose was dramatically disrupted: a tank located on the border of the university fired. The shell hit Roman directly and exploded. The force of the impact was so great that both bodies were thrown down, where they hit the ground with fatal results. Roman and Alexander died, but were nearby at the time of death.
