nThe Void had something that put the husband in fear.

nHis divine energy feared it as well, but he couldn't even tell what it was...

nAkaro was more shocked since she literally couldn't feel anything. Her eyes looked at the void in the sky, and then it spread wider and wider...

nSo wide it turned into the mouth of some grotesque creature.

nFrom this mouth, the man clad in purple armor appeared. His armor had the void design, and it looked like he wore some monster's skin!

nHe glanced at Kyoya and said,

"Congratulations. You have acquired divine energy and stepped on the path towards godhood... And congratulations again, for I am the god-slayer. It will be your honor to die from my sword before you become the god.

"

nThat was some twisted logic...

n

"Akaro, have you heard about the god-slayers?

" The husband asked.

n

"I haven't... They might be the force to haunt people with divine energy, and they somehow grasped power to go around the world pillars... Otherwise, I can't explain the lack of knowledge about them,

" Akaro replied.

nThe God-slayer was called Mina,

"Haha! We can kill the gods. I am one of the new god-slayers, so I go around the world and hunt the candidates...

" He sneered,

"Before I reach the strength, go get rid of gods!

"

nKyoya narrowed his eyes and took out his ice knife,

"He won't let us go... Let's fight him...

" The husband planned to fight together with Akaro and all his friends to press against this man with their strongest force.

nHowever, the god-slayer turned out to be a step ahead.

nHe appeared before Kyoya, and he summoned

"God-slayer Cathedral.

" This was the summoning skill similar to the husband's House Of Cards.

nThe new dimension appeared and trapped the husband in.

nHis body became heavier, and the unknown concept, 'God-slayer Concept,' wore his body down... It felt like a thousand ants ate his body!

nHe waved his ice knife and whispered,

"All out, Yesfir. The House Of Cards.

" The husband summoned his own power, and the two forces clashed.

nIn his house of cards, the husband had many platforms to move! He also could control those platforms to his advantage, either using them as an attack or defense.

nYesifr also passed her concept to the husband's effigies.

nThose demonic jesters laughed while clad in the cold clothes.

nIn tandem, they rushed at Mina!

nThe husband blended in their ranks and hid all his energies!

nThen, in a sudden thrust, his knife let out the combination of his and Yesfir's energies!

nMina laughed,

"Haha! Throw some more!

" His sword killed all effigies and reflected the husband's thrust!

nHe slashed back, but the husband wasn't weak either.

nTheir quick exchange looked equal, but the husband felt more pressure, and... the ants returned to eat his body!

nIt meant that his skills were losing against the god-slayer!

n-

n

"We should gather more believers,

" Akaro concluded.

nThe husband's party tried to penetrate through that formation, but nothing worked so far. They lacked strength, but they didn't lack the means to help the husband.

nEveryone understood Akaro's intent.

n

"They will bring energy to the husband and help him.

"

nThat was the reasoning.

nTherefore, the husband's party went across the floors to spread his game system. This game system helped with the hybrid concepts, and it was taken like hot muffins! Everyone gladly used this help and inevitably became the husband's disciple!

nBut Akaro had passed the instructions to others as well.

nThose instructions were just words, but those words turned every believer into a heated believer!

n-

n

"Formidable!

" Mina shouted.

nDespite the clear strength advantage, the husband was coping well with the god-slayer concept.

nThey fought, but no clear gap could be found in the husband's style.

nMina was impressed, but he never lost sight of the husband.

nAnd that was the crux of the husband's dilemma...

nHis high speed didn't work, nor did his execution skills.

nHe couldn't deal the proper blow, nor could he execute the god-slayer!

nMina also didn't plan to fight for too long!

nHe shouted,

"GOD-SLAYER CROSS!

"

nThe golden-purple cross instantly rose from the ground. It wrapped the husband and completely pinned him down... He felt his whole instincts alarming him, but his body couldn't react at all.

nSealed in the cross, his eyes rose,

"...

"

nMina's smile was a relieved one...

"This is the 'EXECUTION' technique. Farewell, you were good.

" Since the husband couldn't move, the technique was done perfectly.

nMina was feeling relieved, and he turned heels.

nHis room began shrinking as well, which added another pressure onto the husband!

n-

n

"I was feeling something nice... And so here we are,

" The First Trickster God revisited the world pillar.

nThis time, he was with Zaya and Rhest.

nBoth of them looked at him with weird eyes, but when they noticed the unknown purple box in the middle of the world pillar, their expressions turned different.

nThey were... questioning this existence.

nBut why would they question something in the world pillar? That was a mortal world!

nThe First Trickster God burst out laughing,

"This is the god-slayer's cathedral... And he just used the cross on the husband.

"

nHe was the only one who knew the origin of the god-slayers.

n

"The husband won't lose, however. The Ascension is just about to begin! He has such a hard-working family compared to mine,

" He shook his head, but for the outsiders, it was the mask going side to side.

nJust like the first said, the husband could only ascend and become the god. He had no other way to free himself from the cross.

nTherefore, he prayed as the god and reached all the hearts of his believers.

nThis ended up with the mass ques that provided him enough belief and powers.

nIn the middle of the cross, the husband's body shone golden-red!

nOn the outside, the clouds turned golden as well.

nThose golden clouds belonged to other trickster gods, however.

nThe First explained,

"No one wants more competitors. The tricksters felt the arrival of the ninth and the eight would send his weapon to kill the husband.

"

n

"Why are you explaining this to us if we know this well?

" The duo asked.

n

"No reason.

"

nThe golden clouds dwarfed the purple void in the sky.

nFrom it, the golden lightning bolt fell straight onto the cathedral.

nHowever, the three gods could see the weapon hidden inside.

nAll of them sneered.

nBoom!

nBoth Zaya and Rhest widened their eyes,

"It didn't destroy the cathedral.

"

n

"Well, well... The new god-slayer has received some help.

" The First shrugged.

nSince the eight failed, the seventh was the next.

nHe sent his weapon, and a golden lightning bolt struck the cathedral.

nIt failed too.

nThe sixth, the fifth, the fourth... All of them failed as well.

nThe third was the same, and the second took matters into her hands...

nBut she also failed, and her lightning bolt dispersed.

nNonetheless, the cathedral had cracks, so if the husband ascended, he would be able to just destroy it and kill Mina!

nAlas, his ascension couldn't progress.

nIt was due to the help Mina received.

nIt was the help from the god-slayer who could hunt the real gods.

n

"Did he sense me? I guess it has to be it... Haha! Then, I will help my brother.

" The First Trickster God raised his body.

nOn his two, he raised his hand and flicked his fingers.

nZaya reacted belatedly,

"Wait... Your brother?

"

nRhest was the same, shock all over his face.

nIn the sky, the golden cloud trembled and spread across the whole world pillar. It looked like the wild golden horses fervently ran across it, fighting each other.

nIn the next second, the world pillar trembled with fear...

nBOOM!

nThe Cathedral shattered, and so did its cross...

nZaya shouted,

"You will kill him!

"

n

"I won't.

" The First replied.

nThe lightning bolt landed on the husband's body, and then his body began to absorb the first trickster god's divine energy!

nThis was yet another shocker for the duo,

"What's the meaning of this? Does he really have your divine energy?

"

nRhest probed.

n

"That's not the case,

" The First Trickster God replied,

"He has his own divine energy. You thought that he became a trickster because of your disciple... But what she summoned was the god.

"

n

"...

"

n

"I needed some time to confirm it, but we are from the same lineage. I was also born on Earth, you know?

" The First Trickster clapped his hands,

"I thought that my ascension was due to hard work, but I was born as the trickster god. Pretty lame, but that allowed me to learn about another rule - the gods are determined from the get-go. This makes me... so **ing... annoyed... I want to break this universe and its rules further...

"

nThe First Trickster God's words scared Rhest as he knew that this man had already done too much ** in this universe!

nAnd now he had another reason to destroy it more!

nZaya shook her head and turned her eyes to the husband.

nBut another shocking event happened...

n

"How greedy,

" The First Trickster God's mask cracked.

nIt cracked so much that it utterly shattered and revealed his face...

nNow, both Zaya and Rhest had no doubts...

nKyoya and The First were from the same family tree.

n

"Is it bloodline? Or the husband has been chosen by the universe?

" The Trickster God already lost his treasure which was that mask.

nIt was solely because the husband ascended.

nHe questioned, but there was no answer to this question.

n

"I will kill that god-slayer, and we will return. I want more chaos,

" The First said and disappeared.

nAt the same time, the husband also disappeared.

nHis speed reached the new boundary after the ascension, and he killed Mina in one blow!
