Chapter 376 Moving On Part 5
Celine's heart raced as she faced her old friends, her voice trembling with emotion.
"Listen!" she shouted. "You don't have to do this. Ryder is just using you. He's not a real leader; he's a monster . You don't have to give up your lives for him. You're not just weapons—you're people with your own choices!"
Her words made the remaining divergents pause for a moment.
"Enough!" Ryder shook his head "You think you can turn them against me? "

One of the divergents, who was close to Celine before, looked uncertain. He glanced at his teammates and then at his master.
"Think about it," she urged. "Is this really what you want? To die for someone who only sees you as tools? You can leave. You can live your own lives."
'Not really.' Reign thought, remembering his plan to destroy the city later. There was no way anyone could escape, unless she managed to take them with her.
The group stood still, torn between their loyalty, and the doubts Celine's words had stirred in them.
Meanwhile, Ryder realized that the situation was quickly turning against him.
His opponent's overwhelming power had been on full display during their brief exchange, leaving no doubt in his mind that they were outmatched.
He glanced up at the figure behind the glass window, hoping for some kind of intervention or sign, but it remained still, offering no help.
'I need to escape first, but if we run, I'll be the first he chases,' Ryder muttered under his breath.
The way Reign stared at him, made it clear that he was enjoying this, like a predator toying with its prey. He could almost feel the weight of that gaze, knowing that the moment he made a move, he would be dead.
Ryder shifted his gaze to his students, noting how they still obeyed him without question. There was no way Celine's words could break the control he had over them so easily.
"Attack him! " He ordered.
Out of habit, the students moved without hesitation, their bodies reacting instinctively to the commands.
The remaining survivors were trapped, unable to escape from his reach.
They tried to fight back, but it was useless. He killed them one by one. Blood covered his clothes as he used his overwhelming power .
When it was all over, only the mangled bodies were left scattered on the ground.
THUD!
Celine dropped to her knees, her stomach churning as she vomited from the sight of the gruesome scene.
She stared at the blood and dead bodies around her, unable to comprehend the level of cruelty she had just witnessed.
'H— He's not human,' she thought to herself in shock. The horror of seeing someone so merciless was beyond what she could ever have imagined.
"What are you doing?" Reign asked, his voice cold "You wanted to kill your master, right? Then stop acting like a kid and go after him."
Celine's heart pounded as the words hit her.
Her legs felt weak, and she struggled to stand up. The sight of her old friends lying on the ground and Reign's cold, uncaring expression made her feel like she couldn't move.
"Stop wasting time," he shouted, snapping Celine back to reality. "He's the one responsible for all these deaths."
He had already hurt him badly, making it easier for her to finish him off.
Celine took a deep breath, shaking off her shock. She stood up and hurried after her master.
When she glanced back at Reign, there was no gratitude in her eyes—only a deep fear.
To her, his brutality was too much to forget.
Reign didn't care about her reaction.
What he had done was mild compared to his usual style. If he had been in his original body, he would have torn them apart like second hand meat at a market.
"Hey, you should stop watching and come down here," Reign called out, glancing up with a smirk.
