Divine Resonance: My Pet Evolves, I Ascend to Divinity(3)

Cole never asked to be reborn into a world where teenagers bond with city-crushing monsters just to survive high school.

He just wanted to pass math.

Centuries after that, an entity older than galaxies corners his last companion and, for once, wins.

A lazy voice drifts across the vacuum, the same one that once whined about gym class.

＂You broke all my pets.＂
