The sky cracked again.
The system announcement returned.
A massive shape fell into the center of the city.
Buildings collapsed on impact.
Shockwaves shattered glass across blocks.
Zhao Ren's heartbeat slowed.
In his previous life, this boss wiped out hundreds.
Now
He was stronger.
But not enough.
Yet.
He sprinted toward the impact zone.
Dead monsters littered the streets.
Each one strengthened him.
Each corpse was fuel.
By the time he reached the Titan, his Strength had surpassed 25.
The Titan roared.
It swung.
Zhao Ren rolled beneath the attack.
Climbed a fallen vehicle.
Launched himself toward its neck.
The steel pipe snapped.
He drew the gun.
Three shots into its eye.
The Titan staggered.
He leapt.
Drove broken metal into its skull repeatedly.
Until it stopped moving.
Silence fell over the burning city.
He pressed his hand to its massive corpse.
The system vibrated violently.
Zhao Ren inhaled slowly.
He could feel it.
Something awakening inside him.
