The teleportation device is revealed to be ancient technology created by Divine Beasts. Long Yuyan explains it requires a week to gather enough energy to activate, needing an identical device elsewhere to function. Yuan decides to visit Rose, Julie, and Ava's families after meeting the Imperial Family. Meanwhile, the Goddess of Water is alerted to the destruction of the palace by a mysterious fire, which seems to coincide with the teleportation device activating. She vows revenge on the intruder, unaware it is Yuan, who appears ready to face her.

The massive Water Dragon was split in two in the blink of an eye before both halves exploded, splashing water everywhere.

"What?!?!" The Goddess of Water exclaimed in disbelief, almost stumbling to the ground.

"H-How is this even possible...?? This is impossible...!"

Her eyes widened at the sight of one of her most powerful magic spells being destroyed in the blink of an eye, leaving her completely speechless.

’How did he do it? Even His Majesty would have a hard time against my magic, and yet...’ Her eyes narrowed at Yuan, who had a calm smile on his face.

’And yet he destroyed my magic completely in the blink of an eye... He made my magic look like child’s play...’ She swallowed nervously, slightly staggering backward.

’I need to be very careful how I deal with him... Even the tiniest mistake would cost me my life.’ Her expression hardened as she realized that her opponent was incredibly strong.

There was no room for error. She immediately took a few steps backward, creating some distance between them.

Her eyes scanned the area. Since her opponent was extremely strong, she had to take advantage of everything around her.

’Good. Since the palace has disappeared, there is a lot of space to move around. I can’t fight him head-on; I have to attack while maintaining a safe distance.’ She immediately formed a plan to fight against Yuan in her head.

However, just as she was forming a plan, she noticed a familiar figure in the distance, completely broken and kneeling on the floor.

"Goddess Elyssara! What the hell are you doing here?!?!" The Goddess of Water yelled in fury as she immediately recognized the figure.

"Shouldn’t you be at the frontline supporting the rest of the Gods with their Divine Magic?! What the hell are you doing here?!"

The Goddess of Light and Justice slowly turned her head, her eyes looking lifeless, as if her will to live had been completely stripped away.

"Ah... It is you, Goddess Nerathys..." The Goddess muttered, her voice weak and barely audible from the distance.

"Everything is destroyed... everyone is dead now... only you and I are alive, along with a few angels..." The Goddess spoke, her voice quivering as tears streamed down her face.

"W-What are you talking about...??" A puzzled look appeared on the face of the Goddess of Water, filled with confusion.

"It is what it means... Everyone else was slaughtered. All of them are dead! Including that arrogant husband of yours; he has also become a corpse!" The Goddess of Light and Justice shouted, recalling the scene of slaughter inside her head.

"I-Impossible... This is impossible! You’re just uttering a bunch of lies!" The Goddess of Water shouted as her anger rose, her eyes glowing faintly.

The air began to flicker violently around her, and once her anger reached its boiling point, her eyes turned deadly cold.

"Elyssara! Are you saying that these mere mortals wiped out everyone?! Is that what you’re saying?!" She roared at the Goddess of Light and Justice.

A violent storm of Mana erupted from her body, creating tens of thousands of water blades in the air that covered the sky.

She ignored the Goddess of Light and Justice and focused her attention on Yuan, boiling with anger as she understood the situation.

"You pathetic little mortal bastard! How dare you kill our people!" She screamed at Yuan as she raised her hand and commanded the water blades to move forward.

"Now die and atone for your sins!!"

Swish! Swish!

Tens of thousands of water blades were thrown at Yuan, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground began to shake as the blades relentlessly struck Yuan with full power. Even the God King would have a hard time surviving such a powerful attack.

Meanwhile, Yuan used his Sword Aura to strike all the water blades, cutting them at the molecular level and vaporizing the water instantly.

However, a few water blades managed to hit him since he had never done something like this before, and it took him great effort to target all the incoming attacks.

Gradually, his control began to improve as more and more attacks came toward him. He could clearly see every water blade with his Divine Sense, even through the vaporous mist.

Ling Yuyan watched the scene with her Divine Sense and was amazed by what Yuan was doing, to the point that she was shocked by his control over his Sword Aura.

’Simply amazing! The way he is using his Sword Aura to cut the water is something that even the Sword Masters of the Earth Immortal Sect were unable to achieve!’ She muttered inwardly, looking at Yuan with admiration.

’Despite being less than 20 years old... he has achieved such a high mastery of Sword Aura that it puts the Sword Masters who have spent tens of thousands of years refining their Sword Aura to shame.’ She swallowed nervously as she began comparing Yuan with the Sword Masters she knew in the past.

The difference was as clear as day—they couldn’t be compared with each other. The gap between their talents was as high as the heavens; it was simply incomparable.

’Is there even a limit to his talent? His existence itself is an anomaly...’ She thought, a soft sigh escaping from her lips.

Whoosh! Yuan’s figure shot out from the vaporous mist all of a sudden, and before the Goddess of Water could cast another spell, he was already standing in front of her.

"You—" Before the Goddess of Water could say anything, Yuan’s hand shot forward and gripped her neck firmly, lifting her into the air.

Yuan looked at the Goddess of Water with disgust, his expression as cold as ice.

"I really hate it when someone looks down on us," Yuan said, his voice filled with disdain as his grip tightened around her neck.

A smirk appeared on his face as he continued, "Furthermore, you called yourself a god, and yet you’re unable to defend against me... Care to explain why that is? After all, you claimed to be a goddess."

"Agh!" The Goddess of Water struggled to free herself from Yuan’s grasp, but every attempt failed.

’What the hell is this monstrous strength? I can’t break free from him at all!’ The Goddess of Water cursed inwardly while struggling to break free.

"Y-You will pay for this... agh!" She cursed at him. Despite being powerless to break free, her arrogance didn’t decrease at all.

Snap! Yuan tightened his grip and broke her neck immediately upon seeing the arrogant look on her face, killing her instantly.

"You speak too much for someone who was about to die..." Yuan muttered and tossed her lifeless body aside.
