Spirit of the Tao #5

In the wake of a massacre at the Jaikap temple, the Tao Hunters confront a grim truth: every soul there is dead. Lord Hunter prepares to send an urgent signal to his people across the stars, while Disciple attempts to sway Mary III by showing her the Tao’s vision of Heaven and Hell. As her resolve wavers, a final revelation looms—something deeper than belief, more profound than fear.

In "null," Lance grapples with doubt after a violent clash with the city’s underbelly, questioning whether his mission to save humanity is worth the cost. Meanwhile, Jasmine pushes forward with her destructive path, targeting Santa Monica, while Messiah offers her a chilling alternative—team up and reshape the world together. As secrets unravel, Disciple makes a shocking revelation to Mary III that could change everything, and Joseph is left reeling by Menicus’s self-inflicted embrace of the Tao virus.
