Previously on Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill...
Haster's body crashed across the shattered battlefield again and again.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Every time Ethan caught him, another brutal impact followed. His fist slammed into Haster's face, sending broken teeth and black blood flying through the air.
Before Haster could even recover, another punch crashed into his ribs, followed by a heavy knee to his stomach that forced a painful roar out of him. The ground beneath them continued breaking apart while shockwaves spread across the valley with every strike.
Haster desperately tried to block the attacks with his tentacles, but every one of them was shattered by Ethan's overwhelming holy power before they could even touch him.
"Arghhhh!"
Haster roared in agony.
His battered body rolled across the broken ground before Ethan grabbed him by the throat once again and lifted him into the air as though he weighed nothing.
Black blood continuously dripped from Haster's mouth while his countless eyes stared at Ethan with fear, disbelief, and confusion.
"How..."
His voice trembled.
"How are you so strong when you just broke through to the Transcendent Rank Knight?"
"How?"
Hearing those words, Ethan slowly smiled.
"Heheh!"
He tightened his grip around Haster's neck before pulling him closer.
He leaned near Haster's ear and spoke in a low voice.
"Heheh! That was a false breakthrough."
The moment Haster heard those words, his entire body froze.
His countless eyes widened to their limits.
"What!"
He screamed in terror while staring at Ethan with an expression filled with disbelief.
His mind went completely blank.
"You mean..."
"Yes!"
Ethan laughed darkly.
"I had already achieved the breakthrough much earlier. I was just trying to pull wool over your eyes, and it succeeded."
"Kekek!"
Haster's breathing became uneven.
His face twisted violently.
"Since when?"
He roared while desperately reaching toward Ethan with his remaining tentacles.
Ethan easily avoided the weak attempt and continued laughing.
"Since the war began."
Those simple words struck Haster harder than any punch.
His expression completely collapsed.
Every battle...
Every trap...
Every exchange...
Everything flashed through his mind.
He finally realized he had been dancing exactly as Ethan wanted from the very beginning.
"BASTARDDDDD!"
"DEVILLLL!"
"YOU ARE THE REAL DEVIL!"
His furious roar echoed throughout the valley while his body shook with rage.
Ethan frowned and casually dug a finger into one ear.
"Stop screaming."
"It's hurting my ears."
He looked at Haster with cold eyes.
The smile on his face slowly disappeared.
"Now die!"
Ethan suddenly roared.
Boom!
He violently hurled Haster away.
Haster shot across the battlefield like a streak of black light before crashing through several massive boulders. The mountains shook as his broken body skipped across the ground, leaving behind a long trench filled with shattered rocks and black blood.
Before Ethan could close the distance again, Haster suddenly let out a horrifying scream.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!"
His body began trembling violently.
His flesh twisted unnaturally.
The wounds covering his body rapidly bulged as though something alive was crawling beneath his skin. Bones cracked one after another while countless tentacles burst from his back. His arms stretched to unnatural lengths and his chest split open as thick black flesh continued expanding without control.
The transformation became more violent with every passing second.
His face distorted beyond recognition.
His jaw stretched wider and wider until it became an unsightly maw filled with rows of jagged teeth. His countless eyes multiplied across his head, neck, and shoulders while black veins spread throughout his entire body like living snakes.
The remaining miasma rushed toward him from every direction.It poured into his body without stopping.
The pressure surrounding him rapidly climbed once again.
The horrifying creature slowly raised its head.
Its countless blood-red eyes locked onto Ethan.
There was no trace of reason left within them.
Only madness.
Only hatred.
Only the desire to kill.
Without giving anyone time to react, Haster suddenly disappeared.
Boom!
The ground beneath him exploded.
His monstrous body shot toward Ethan like a black meteor. His speed was so terrifying that he crossed the battlefield in the blink of an eye. Countless tentacles burst forward at the same time and spread out like a giant net before wrapping tightly around Ethan's arms, legs, waist, and shoulders.
Haster's twisted face came within inches of Ethan's.
Black blood poured from his mouth as he let out a crazed laugh.
"If I'm dying...You are coming with me!"
The next moment, his swollen body rapidly expanded.
Dark red cracks spread across his flesh while the violent energy inside him became more unstable with every passing heartbeat.
Ethan's eyes narrowed.
"Self-detonation."
Without the slightest hesitation, brilliant holy light erupted from his body.
Boom!
The tentacles binding him instantly burned away under the overwhelming holy power. They twisted violently before turning into black ashes that scattered into the air. Ethan immediately pushed off Haster's body and retreated at full speed. His figure flashed backward several times as he escaped the center of the explosion only moments before it happened.
The world suddenly became silent.
For a single heartbeat...
Everything froze.
Then...
BOOOOOOM!
A world-shaking explosion erupted from Haster's body.
A gigantic sphere of black and blood-red energy expanded in every direction. Mountains instantly collapsed beneath the terrifying force while the ground split apart into countless deep ravines. Everything within its path was swallowed by the overwhelming blast. Broken rocks, shattered trees, and endless dust were thrown high into the sky as the explosion continued spreading across the valley.
Heliana's beautiful face became serious.
She immediately raised her crystal staff.
A powerful wave of icy energy burst from her body.
"Frozen Domain!"
Endless ice spread outward as enormous walls of crystal ice rapidly rose before the incoming explosion. Layer after layer of frozen barriers appeared one after another, trying to block the terrifying blast.
Boom!
Boom!
The violent explosion slammed into the walls of ice.
The first barrier instantly shattered.
The second one cracked apart.
The third managed to slow the explosion for only a brief moment before it also exploded into countless frozen fragments.
Heliana gritted her teeth.
She poured even more power into the spell.
Cold air filled the battlefield while countless streams of ice continued forming before the advancing explosion.
But...
It was not enough.
Crack!
The final wall of ice shattered under the overwhelming force.
The explosion continued rushing forward without stopping.
"Everyone!"
One of the Transcendent Knights shouted.
A moment later, the terrifying shockwave reached them.
Boom!
