"Yeah," I said, nodding "I was going to drag it out, cut little slices into your skin, turn you into a living fucking coloring book You know they’re all the rage now Then slowly burn you from the inside out, but not before I cut your dick off and shoved it down your throat and hang your balls around your neck like a noose"

"Sounds like a fun evening"

"It would’ve been, but, you see, I’veas I took a step toward hi this out I’oing to take great pleasure in killing you"

Hyperion’s lip curled "You aren’t going to do anything You’re not absolute"

"Then give me your best shot" I liftedacross the room, he cocked an ar me back several inches I didn’t raise ood

Like I needed to feel, because there was a part of me that deserved the first punch and then the second I welcomed the fiery bite, a retribution for the pain I’d caused Josie And when I hit the ground with the third punch, the air rushing forto cause a whole lot of innocent people by the end of the night

The kick in the stoh

Hyperion loo to fight back?"

Spitting out a hed coldly "You’re a du up at hi tothe Titan across the roo to die"

Chapter 35

Letting the purest, strongest power take over, I lifted odly akasha whirled down my bicep The world tinted white as I let the bolt of absolute power go

It shot across the s into Hyperion’s chest He’d tried to h I was done playing with hi to die

And it was like Atlas all over again

A look of pure astonishht pulsed The sa look that said he couldn’t believe I just punched out his i hole in the center of his chest

Outside, lightning slaround and thunder cracked the sky wide open The smell of burnt ozone filled the tiny roo the floor I kept up, pulling every ounce of deadly power fro out an arm as if to stop the stream of akasha Air crackled and popped as the very fine network of veins lit up under Hyperion’s skin

I lowered my arm "I am absolute"

He opened his ht in his veins expanded, bled through the vessels and washed over his body The light pulsed once more and then it was an explosion of fireworks that shook the ceiling and the floor--the entire building

And then there was nothing but scorched earth re

"No!" a female voice shouted

I spun around It was her--the female Titan Power rippled over my skin My chin dipped down as I stalked toward her "Too late"

She screeched as she drew back Her screa circle Black smoke surrounded her body as I summoned the absolute power oncethrough a wall Plaster exploded, pluone, most likely to alert the rest of the crew that their days were nu, I turned back to the spot where Hyperion had stood A weight lifted from my shoulders Wasn’t like we didn’t have the other Titans to worry about, but this oneyeah, this one had needed to go

The charred floor had changed Tiny specks of glowing red e my hands into fists, I walked over to the spot and stared down, brows knitting together The flecks looked like--

"What have you done?"

My back stiffened There was no denying who stood behind me "Awful brave of you to show up after the Titan who captured your daughter is no longer in the picture"
