Chapter 763: Strike Of A Demi God!
Chapter 763: Strike Of A Demi God!
From the exact moment that deep tremor wove through the fabric of reality, everything changed.
The streets of the capital, which moments ago had been filled with flames and the ruins of war, now began to crack under an invisible pressure. The cracks weren’t caused by any strike, but by the simple fact that they could no longer withstand what was descending from above.
The mana in the air no longer flowed... it had gone mad.
Like a sea caught in a storm, invisible waves of energy crashed into each other. Sometimes they became dense, sometimes they suddenly vanished, as if they themselves no longer knew which Law to follow.
The sky... lost its color.
It didn’t turn black or white. It turned into an empty, colorless void that human eyes could barely comprehend.
Schneitz was the first to raise his head.
For the first time during this battle, his eyes narrowed. Not from focus... but from something close to anxiety.
His lips moved very slowly.
"...No." It might have seemed unbelievable, but his body started to tremble... from fear!
His eyes widened and it looked like his entire existence wanted to collapse from terror.
What was happening? What could possibly make a Heavenly King feel such horror?
At the same moment, Daniel also raised his head. His aura was still heavy enough to bend the space around him, but his body... reacted differently.
His muscles tensed for a moment.
A feeling deep inside him screamed: "This... is real danger."
The sky no longer just split open, it compressed.
It was as if something from behind it, from a place beyond this world, was forcing its way in under pressure. The clouds were literally crushed, as if being ground under an invisible hand. Light gathered, pulled into a single point, and space... bent.
And then something appeared.
A "palm."
Not fully material, not fully energy.
Its lines weren’t clear, but its presence was so heavy that the human mind couldn’t ignore it. It was as if the concept of "hand" had been forcibly imposed onto reality.
This was not a physical object.
It was a "Law" that had taken the shape of a hand.
And it was coming down.
With every millimeter it moved, the space beneath it collapsed. Layers of reality folded one after another, as if something was erasing them.
It was unclear where this hand had come from. All of this started the moment Morkan suddenly tore a piece of paper in his hands, and then, boom!
A power that had been forcibly dragged from a higher level, without this world being ready to accept it, suddenly appeared above their heads.
Everything beneath it was destroyed and brought to an end. Neither the structure of reality nor space-time could withstand this hand.
The hand was so enormous that its edges couldn’t be seen, as if it had covered the entire capital.
Valkraz looked at Daniel with a cold smile. His eyes had a dark glow, but behind it was something like hidden satisfaction.
"You thought you were the only one with a trump card?" His voice was calm, but it echoed through the unbearable pressure.
He was still on his knees. His body was cracked, his mana unstable, but his smile was crazy and insane.
He laughed.
But the laughter was so empty and merciless that even the sound felt heavy.
"All of you... end here." His gaze slid from Daniel to the others, to Schneitz, to the sky, to the entire capital.
"After that... only we remain."
This massive hand wasn’t just meant to kill these two people. No, no, no. This massive hand, their greatest trump card, was meant to destroy the entire capital.
Nothing would remain after this hand landed. Everything and everyone would turn to ash and be wiped out.
All the people, all the Awakened in the capital, and even the other Heavenly Kings would be killed on the spot with no chance to resist.
And this terrifying power was only a small piece of "that person’s" power, the same person behind all of this, the one who had given him the serum and all the arrays.
"This country... is mine." And then, more quietly, almost in a whisper, he said:
"When everyone in the capital is dead, taking control of the rest of the country won’t be difficult."
At that moment, space broke again.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Five times.
Six times... until it reached dozens of times.
Various presences appeared in the sky and beside them. Most of them were the National Rank Awakened of the country, but among them were five very different and powerful presences.
Each one had an aura that by itself could crush an entire city. Different Laws coiled around them.
Heavenly Kings.
One of them, a man in a white robe with icy eyes, took a step forward.
"Valkraz... have you gone insane?!"
Another, a woman with an aura of blue flames, clenched her teeth.
"This will kill all of us!" They had realized that the moment this massive hand appeared, all dimensions of the capital had been sealed and locked.
In a sense, no one could leave the capital anymore. Everyone was trapped here.
But the only answer was laughter. Beside them, two more presences appeared.
Adrian. His face was no longer that of the calm politician. The lines on his face had hardened, and his gaze was sharp and fixed directly on the sky.
Beside him stood Kaiser, his body slightly leaning forward, like someone ready to attack. His eyes scanned that massive palm with anger he was barely controlling.
"This is no longer a war... it’s suicide," Kaiser muttered under his breath.
"Stop it right now," Adrian took one step forward. His voice was low but decisive.
Valkraz raised his head. His eyes... were empty, and it seemed he didn’t care about their words at all.
"It’s too late."
The palm came down further.
Now its shadow had covered the entire capital. Sunlight had completely disappeared, and what remained was only a shadow that made breathing catch in the chest.
There was no place to escape. There was no shelter.
This was a crime, a disaster, a genocide, an endless massacre, and a purge!
"Hahaha, this is the power of a Demi God! All of you will die." His words spread through the space like a final verdict.
"You bastard! After this, we will tear you apart with our own hands!"
"Heh, nothing will be left of you."
The other Heavenly Kings didn’t wait any longer.
One of them raised his hand and released a Law of pure light, a beam that could turn an entire city to ash, and shot it straight at the palm.
Another created a massive field of ice that tried to freeze space and stop the palm’s descent.
Kaiser took a step forward, clenched his fists, and the raw pressure of his physical power shook the space.
Adrian, with cold eyes, released his mana — not explosively, but controlled, like a net trying to restrain the entire area.
But none of it was enough.
All of this power, when it collided with that palm, simply... disappeared.
It wasn’t deflected, it was as if it had never existed.
In the middle of this chaos, Daniel stood silently and made no movement, no reaction.
He just watched. His eyes were locked on that palm. For a short moment, all sounds faded for him.
Only one thought remained.
"...They can’t stop this."
This wasn’t a guess.
It was a fact.
He had already tested it and understood that he couldn’t teleport outside the capital. The Fallen Step skill wasn’t working.
In other words, if he didn’t stop this thing, not only himself... but his entire family would be killed too.
And at that moment, for the first time since the beginning of this battle, a complete, heavy, and merciless sense of responsibility settled on his shoulders.
The palm came down lower.
Space crumbled beneath it.
Time... stretched.
And everyone in the field, the Heavenly Kings and the leaders of the country, prepared for a collision that might be the end of everything.
And just before that palm reached the ground...
