The Hourglass 67 Breakthrough 3

It didn't really stop but the four of them collided there with each other forming a ball of yellow with red streak on it that is shrinking but the yellow on it is decreasing before turning into red completely.

After completely turning into red the ball of red surged downward toward Michael who is beneath all that layers, the red lightning bolts the size of utility pole broke trough the layers, even the leftover red lightning on that layer destroyed any fire, ice, wind, and earth.

Noticing that his layers was destroyed al lightning speed, Michael made another four layers at the cost almost all of his qi except half of the qi inside his heart.

"HAAA!!!"

In an instant just before the red lightning bolt destroyed the 12th layer another four shows up but all of this was useless, well not really useless since when it destroyed the 16th layer it decreased from the pillar width to the thigh width.

Michael then used his wings and hands to cover his head the moment the lightning strikes him, it doesn't matter how he shielded himself because it would have flowed trough his whole body but most of that energy flowed and strikes into the unknow places deep inside the Spiritual Sea where the hourglass is kept.

Then the red lightning strikes the hourglass continuedly as cracks grows on it, the counter besides the hourglass continues to drop in number from 779 to 778….

The Hourglass was cracked and repaired at highspeed while some leftover energies from the impact spread to the his connection with his servant, Aria and Melinda.

Whenever it's Aria who is already near the parking lot or Melinda who is waving at her or Bryan, Myasya, Cat, and Anira at the other end of the world or Marcel in the same city as he is they all fell toward the ground convulsing as red lightning destroyed their body but thankfully it's just some hair width one that got trough and with the healing abilities they got from Michael, they would recover from it in an hour at most.

Finally, the red lightning exhausted it's energy leaving the Hourglass unscathed as it have been repaired while the number besides it changed from 779 to 760. Of course Michael have blacked out from the pain but when he blacked out several strand of his QI managed to change into purple while his spiritual sea changed into an infant soul that looked like a faceless doll that obviously a male.

After a few Minutes Michael woke up with buildings, roads, trees, animals, humans, and more destroyed while some left a charred corpse. Looking at this scene Michael hurriedly checked his connection with Melinda and Aria, he 'saw' that they are okay only wounded by the red lightning and are healing, when they healed their body would be more resistant toward lightning and it would help them greatly when they breakthrough to the Transformation Realm, now you mention it why did it only happen to Michael, not others at the peak of Solid stages too.

Also, it seems the number of lightning bolt that should have struck him is 24, the same number as his Qi nodes. Then Michael just realized that a little bit of his Qi inside his heart have changed into purple.

Without caring for the collateral damage, he had caused Michael ran toward Aria and Melinda in happiness and worry. Well it could be said that Michael is now heartless toward the one that he isn't close right now when it involved his loved one.

When he reaches there, he saw that Mario is carrying Melinda and Aria back to the car while Jessica is following behind him timidly.

Suddenly Michael appeared before Mario when he just put finished putting Aria on the back seat surprising Mario and Jessica but their reaction toward this is very drastic.

"I…I didn't do this I don't know why that happened, there is suddenly some red light from their body before they became like this" Mario said while posing his arm in surrounding pose while Jessica just got scared normally and hide behind Mario's back before coming out from these seeing Michael.

"Alright I know, I know" Michael said while going to the back seat, placing both of their head on his thigh and gentle stroking their heads before using the partial transformation so that his teeth would be sharp enough to pierce through his skin but when he bit down surprisingly there's a layer of purple film shielding his wrist and he could felt his Qi is slowly decreasing.

Mario and Jessica just stood there speechlessly before Michael barked "What are you doing! Start the car!"

Mario answered "Sir! yes sir ,but it seem the earlier shakes have took out all electronics and even though they are not damaged it just won't turn on."

While Jessica scolded him looking like the earlier things didn't affect her at all "MF, you can't be like that to Mario, Alright!" Jessica said while pushing her hand toward Michael's nose although she didn't touch it.

Michael looked at Jessica for a second before revealing a smile and replied "Alright, just get in."

Michael then closed his eyes for a moment before biting down again and this time it pierced trough and blood spilled out for a second but in this second it was enough for Michael to give some of his blood to both Aria and Melinda, although their physical condition have been restored but they still didn't woke up.

As Mario and Jessica have gotten in the car, they looked at Michael questioningly so Michael spread his Spiritual Tentacles trough the car before he released nine tails from his lower back.

And while Jessica looked at Michael with twinkling eyes as if she is planning something the car vanished along with the nine tails.
