"And how do I know you're not the one lying to me?" Ethan shot back, his voice cold and sharp. He didn't buy a word of it. These so-called Zombie Kings were masters of manipulation—twisting truths, spinning half-lies, always playing some deeper game.
Endless's warning? Probably just another trick. Maybe there was some truth to it, but Ethan was sure there was more to the story. The Origin Mountain had to hold secrets no one was willing to share.
Endless's expression darkened. "I'm not lying. If you open The Origin Mountain, it'll bring total annihilation. Once it starts, there's no turning back. You won't even have the chance to regret it."
"Regret's not your concern," Ethan said, his tone low and steady. Golden runes shimmered across his body, pulsing with power. He'd come too far to be scared off by a few ominous words.
Even if it did mean the end of the world… he wanted to see it for himself.
