The captain scolded him seeing him hesitant. “What are you waiting for soldier?... Waiting for your mama to hold your hand!... Come over here and do what needs to be done!”“But…”“Now!”And so, he took unsteady steps forward before raising his knife after which he closed his eyes.“I'm sorry captain.” The soldier said with the Captain responding with a smile on his lips.“It was an honor leading you all.”As the knife descended, the captain closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable but it never came.He frowned before opening his eyes to find that someone was holding the wrist of the soldier.The soldier as well was also shocked, the same with every other person.“That's enough. You have done well.” Ethan calmly said with a brilliant smile as he took the knife away from the soldier. “You can leave the rest to me now.”The soldier didn't know why but he felt he could trust Ethan to handle everything else even as he was just one man.Meanwhile, Darius' heart was beating rapidly as
Patriarch Vir couldn't understand how he had lost.He had spent his whole life honing his strength, doing whatever it took to grow stronger, even when it involved selling his soul to the Titans, yet he had failed to defeat Ethan Jones, a mere boy who was still wet behind the ears.Gritting his teeth, he glared hatefully at Ethan, who was standing over him as the triumphant party between the two, and remarked. “You can't do this to me. Do you know how much I've sacrificed!... I should be the victor, not you!”“But unfortunately, you aren't, so you can take your defeat like a man or whine about it. It doesn't concern me. What has happened has happened and nothing you can do will change that.”“You will die, Ethan Jones, you will die a horrible death and I will be the reason for it!”Saying that, the patriarch tried to detonate his divinity only for Ethan to step forward and pierce his heart with his blade.The Patriarch felt the blade suck away everything, his divinity as well as the Ti
Just then, there was a sound and everyone was immediately on alert.It would seem the plane was close.“Ready your weapons!” The man commanded his subordinates to do as they were told.Within seconds, four ground-to-air missile launchers were prepared and ready to be utilized.Then the plane appeared in sight.“Confirm if it's the right one.” The captain asked his tech expert.“It's the one, Captain.”“Good,” The man nodded before addressing his men. “Ready, aim… Fire!”Instantly, four missiles were sent hurtling toward the sky.It struck the plane soon after causing it to burst into flames as it began its descent to the ground.“After it!” The captain commanded, with his subordinates following closely behind as they headed for the plane crash site.Unbeknownst to them, at that moment, at a higher altitude, yet another plane was making its entry into the capital.The pilot was quite confused as to why Ethan had told him to fly at such high altitudes, considering how dangerous it was,
Taking a deep breath, the Ninth Finger broke the ice. “So what we do now?”“The situation is dire; we need to do something quickly, or else we will be devoured by that man.” the third finger replied.By that man, they were naturally referring to Ethan, who had turned from a bothersome fellow to a real threat.If they weren't careful, the chances of him destroying them completely were high, and that left them flustered.As they bickered and argued, with none able to figure out a plausible solution to deal with Ethan, they finally turned their attention to the one person who hadn't spoken yet.The First Finger had been watching with a casual look on her face.“What do you say?” The second finger asked. “Do you have a suggestion?”The first finger sighed. “And here I thought that you lot were the leaders. It's good to know that not everyone has lost their sense of hierarchy.”Even as she insulted them, none dared to say anything against her because there was a reason she was the First Fi
Everyone had come to the agreement that if the GodHands held the title of the most powerful organization in the world, then Ethan would be considered the most powerful individual in Lumina and for some reason, he had proven himself even more dangerous than the GodHand which was no small feat. Regardless, it was understandable why Ethan wouldn't be invited considering the relationship between the GodHand and Ethan was at a point of no return. The only way to resolve their differences was by spilling blood and naturally, none would wish to give in. Soon, Ms. Goldberg arrived in a convoy filled with the most luxurious cars money could buy.She stepped down from her car, wearing a beautiful gown, after a guard had opened the door for her. Not surprisingly, she came in the company of her granddaughter and heir to the Goldberg estate, Louisa Goldberg.Donning a beautiful green dinner gown, Louisa appearance drew the attention of many young bachelors who were interested in making conne
“Help him in any way possible. If this rumor is indeed correct, I want to watch them pay for their actions.” The Emperor calmly intoned with a response coming soon after.“Yes, Your Highness.”Meanwhile, Ethan was unaware that he was being watched by a familiar face, no doubt. Of course, this was because the hidden figure held no ill will again, and his danger sense didn't pick them up.Regardless, everything was set and he planned to make sure everything went well with his plans.He placed himself as part of Ice's security entourage, waiting for the perfect opportunity to slip out of the hall and make their way to the vault location to begin the entry, but that wouldn't be possible until the party was at a climax.Until then, they had to soldier through watching the Fourth Finger trying to convince Mrs. Goldberg to pair Louisa up with him. “What do you think, Mrs. Goldberg?... It's an opportunity to bring about an unprecedented alliance. Once that happens, it would surely usher in
Ethan didn't wish to have anyone getting hurt for him which was why he opted to handle things himself. But with South being here, he had a feeling he wouldn't be able to tell him off.“Fine then. But we do things my way.”South managed a smile as he replied. “Sure.” With that sorted, South pulled out a transparent veil from his pocket and handed it to Ethan.“What is this?”“A relic. It renders one completely invisible to all eyes.”“And you are just handing it to me?”“It's going to make our task much easier.”Pursing his lips, Ethan decided to go along with it, after all, there was no need to worry.“Alright then, so let's move out.” With that, Ethan used the veil to cover himself while South activated his own.Like that, the duo left the party hall toward a certain destination.They rushed out of the party hall, utilizing their various attributes to ensure they reached the main house on time.On their way, Ethan realized that apart from cameras, there were also security guards w
“What is the tower?” Ethan couldn't help but ask as he stared at the obelisk.[It is a mythical artifact said to have been forged during the birth of the universe. This is merely a shard of that great device but it is said to be capable of forging worlds as well as destroying them]The silence that followed was deafening as Ethan struggled to come to terms with the system description.A world destroyer?... The GodHand had managed to get their hands on such a device!?But how?It began to make sense why the First Finger was regarded as a deity.She had to be the person that helped the GodHand get their hands on the Obelisk.But why?... Why hadn't she used it yet?“How does it work?”[Once activated, it would terraform the entire planet, turning it into a place uninhabitable for humans. However, to activate it, one must sacrifice a god shard]And so it became clear.Even if the GodHand had such a device, they would need a godshard to activate it and such an expenditure was too big to un
