My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1967

"Forget about me! Hurry!"

Not daring to delay any longer, Clint targeted both individuals and immediately cast his spell.

"Solaris!"

A surge of pure white true energy flowed into Deluca's body. However, it seemed they were too late as Deluca's eyes were bloodshot. The demonic energy in him was about to reach critical mass.

With a thunderous explosion, the barrier was shattered.

Zaafea was also forced to his feet at that moment. Just as he was about to act, he realized that the three inside the barrier had disappeared without a trace.

"W-What is this..."

Above the sky somewhere, a powerful impact blasted through the clouds stretching miles.

In another location, deep under the sea, towering waves suddenly surged.

Not long after, Nash, Clint, and Deluca reappeared once again at the Endless Horizon Sect’s forbidden grounds.

Clint spat out blood and collapsed to the ground while Nash continued to channel true energy to counteract the demonic energy.

Zaafea sighed. "This is insane..."

In just a split second after the explosion, Clint traversed hundreds of dimensions and distributed the explosive force evenly across each dimension. The barrier was shattered earlier by only one percent of that power.

Clint had handled the attack as best as he could. Although he had meticulously directed the damage away from Nash's body, Nash still suffered from the residual shockwaves. He seemed to be reaching his limit at this moment.

"Is this... the end?" Nash muttered, but he refused to accept it. He had to find his father, return to his wife, and reunite with his family and friends. "I absolutely cannot... die here!"

"What if I say I don't?" Zaafea questioned further.

At that moment, Dawson suddenly knelt down.

"I know you must have a way. I know my own life best. Indeed, without my energy center, I'll surely die. But if my death can ensure my son's safety… I beg you... Please help me," Dawson pleaded earnestly.

Zaafea looked at Dawson kneeling before him, then glanced at Deluca.

"You must decide carefully. I can't guarantee that transplanting your energy center to him will ensure he wakes up. The risks are immense. If both of you end up..." Zaafea paused, contemplating the gravity of the situation.

"I understand," Dawson said firmly, lowering his head deeply.

"But no matter what, I want to save my son. This child... has suffered too much."
