Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 782:Chaos At The Capital

The group accompanied by Elena and Charles rushed through the underground passage. Their footsteps echoed through the narrow tunnel as they moved toward the exit, and the guards kept looking behind them while making sure that no one was following.

They had almost reached the end when the man in front suddenly slammed into something.

BANG!

His body bounced backward and fell heavily onto the ground. The people behind him immediately stopped, and Charles nearly collided with the person in front of him.

"What's going on?" Charles asked in shock.

The man slowly got back up. He looked confused as he reached forward and touched the empty space in front of him. His hand stopped as if it had touched a solid wall.

He moved his palm around and tried to find an opening, but there was nothing.

After feeling the surface for a few moments, his expression suddenly changed.

"Barrier... It's a Barrier out there!"

"Whattttt?"

The others stared at him in disbelief.

Elena's face also became tense.

"A barrier?"

The man nodded quickly while keeping his hand against the invisible wall.

"Yes, Your Highness. We can't get through."

Charles stepped forward and looked at the empty space in front of them. Nothing could be seen, but something was clearly blocking the passage.

"Was this here before?"

"No."

The guard shook his head.

"We passed through this tunnel before. There was nothing here."

Elena's expression became grim.

"No, what should we do?"Charles muttered, biting his lips.

He clenched his fist worriedly when he heard a voice.

"Calm down Young Prince..With us you will be safe."

A gentle warm voice fell in his ear.

A gentle warm voice fell in his ear.

….

Meanwhile, Ethan finally reached the other end of the underground tunnel.

He stepped outside and was immediately taken aback.

The Imperial Capital was nothing like the place he had entered earlier.

Chaos had spread throughout the streets.

People were running in every direction while trying to escape the creatures that had appeared across the Capital. Screams echoed from different areas, and buildings had already been damaged by the fighting.

Among the chaos were huge monstrous creatures.

They looked like a mixture of humans and demons. Their bodies were covered with strange dark features, while their limbs were larger and stronger than those of ordinary humans. Some had sharp claws and twisted faces, while others had horns growing from their heads.

They were rampaging through the streets without any sign of reason.

One of them grabbed a fleeing man and threw him aside before continuing forward.

Another slammed its fist into a building, causing part of the structure to collapse.

Ethan's expression became serious.

"What the hell..."

He slowly looked around.

This was not the situation he had expected to see.

The aristocratic forces were supposed to be controlling the Capital, but now the entire city looked like it had fallen into chaos.

Then suddenly...

BANGGGGG!

A loud sound echoed from afar.

Ethan immediately turned his head.

His eyes widened.

A large number of attacks were pouring toward the walls of the Imperial Capital. Blades of energy, powerful spells and other attacks struck the air around the city.

Yet none of them could get through.

A huge invisible barrier covered the Capital.

Every attack slammed against it and exploded, sending waves of energy across the surface before disappearing.

Ethan stared at the barrier for a moment.

His expression slowly darkened.

"So that's why..."

He finally understood why the underground passage had suddenly been blocked.

The entire Capital had been sealed with strange creatures insideThe people were trapped.And now the forces outside could not enter either.

Ethan clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Now we are in deep shit of trouble."

He looked toward the chaotic Capital once again.

The transparent wall was difficult to see from a distance, but every time an attack struck it, a faint ripple spread across its surface and quickly disappeared. The entire Capital seemed to be sealed inside a huge dome, and nothing could enter or leave through it.

Ethan wasn't surprised that the Capital had a barrier of such capability. The people attacking from outside were Transcendent Knights, yet the barrier was still holding against them. With the Capital having so many years of history behind it, if an Empire's capital didn't have this much defensive power, then it shouldn't have existed for so long.

What Ethan hadn't expected was the capability of the aristocrats to run the entire sequence of magic arrays.

Keeping such a huge barrier active was not something that could be done easily. It required a large number of mana stones, and it also needed mages who were knowledgeable enough to control and maintain the entire system. Even a small mistake in one part of the array could cause the whole sequence to become unstable.

Ethan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the barrier again.

A possibility suddenly crossed his mind.

"The Devine Family... They must have a card in their sleeve."

The Devine Family was known for its magic and research. If anyone had the knowledge needed to maintain such a complicated array, they were one of the most likely candidates.

Ethan stopped thinking about it and turned his attention back toward the Capital.

His eyes moved across the streets.

He could see people running everywhere. Some were desperately trying to hide inside buildings, while others were carrying injured family members and searching for a safe place. The strange half demon and half human creatures continued to move through the streets, attacking anyone who crossed their path.

Ethan's expression slowly became heavier.

He felt caught in a pinch.

Should he save them or not?

He didn't know why those creatures were targeting the common people. He didn't know who had created them or what their real purpose was. Getting involved now would also expose his presence.

If he released his aura, the Transcendent Knights inside would immediately notice him. Once that happened, several of them could focus on him at the same time, and even Ethan might find himself in trouble.

He had come here to rescue Elena and Charles.That was supposed to be his only task.

But then his eyes suddenly caught something.

A group of people was running through a nearby street.

Among them were several small children.

One of the children stumbled and fell onto the ground.

The others continued running, but the child remained there, frightened and unable to get back up.

A monstrous figure moved toward them.

Ethan's expression changed.He watched as the creature raised its arm.

For a moment, Ethan remained still.

Then his hands slowly tightened.

He cursed under his breath.

"You know what..."

His expression became firm as golden light began gathering around his body.

"Fuck this shit..."

The next moment, countless rays of light burst out from Ethan's body.

The light quickly gathered in the air and formed into sharp swords.

One after another, light swords erupted around the streets and shot toward the monsters.
