Chapter 105 Three Punches Shatter the Dream of Godhood (Part 1)

Allen was not surprised that Ella had directly called out his original name.

His gaze was calm as he met Ella's eyes and nodded slightly.

"Go to hell, you say..."

"In your eyes, does the Hero who once single-handedly ended the war on the continent..."

"...not even have the qualification to ascend to the Divine Realm?"

Ella remained expressionless, but a trace of pity and sorrow lingered in her gaze as she watched Allen.

"The Hero?"

"Do you think a pathetic person who clings to life by possessing their own descendant..."

"...is worthy of those words?"

Allen fell silent for a long moment before finally standing up.

He walked slowly toward Ella, step by step, and looked directly into her eyes.

"So what?"

"Is it not a fact that I ended the chaos of that era and returned peace to the world?"

"Having accomplished such a feat, am I not worthy of being called the Hero?"

"If you won't help me... so be it."

"But why, knowing it is me, must you still obstruct my final wish?"

By the time Allen finished speaking, his majestic voice carried a hint of fury.

If...

If the person before him wasn't his own younger sister, he might have swatted her to death like a mosquito long ago.

At the same time...

A pressure far more powerful than the Saint-rank swept toward Ella like a tidal wave.

The powerful pressure shook Ella, forcing her back two full steps.

While her heart was filled with shock, Ella hurriedly summoned the scepter of the saint.

A dazzling holy radiance immediately lit up atop the scepter.

As she contended with the pressure Allen emitted, Ella's face gradually turned pale.

The power Allen currently possessed far exceeded Ella's expectations.

This power... was several times stronger than even the power the Hero Allen had possessed thousands of years ago!

Under this kind of pressure, Ella felt her entire body go stiff.

It was difficult even to lift a hand, let alone counterattack.

After a long stalemate, Ella finally spoke slowly.

"Because..."

"You are not worthy!"

As her words fell, a look of determination appeared on Ella's face.

Immediately, she pressed her palms together and formed a complex seal, causing the light from the scepter of the saint to suddenly erupt in a dazzling brilliance.

That light even forcibly dispersed the pressure radiating from Allen!

In the next instant, a holy aura that did not belong to any magic in this world erupted from within Ella!

Like an eternal radiance, it allowed Albert to feel a trace of familiar power.

That was...

True Holy Power!

Allen's pupils shrank as he blurted out in shock,

"It's actually true Holy Magic..."

"How could you possibly cast Holy Magic..."

He had thought his sister had given him a different kind of surprise...

But very quickly, Allen noticed something was wrong.

The holy aura from just now, while dispersing his pressure, was also dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I see..."

"You used the scepter of the saint to release the Holy Power stored within it, didn't you?"

"Indeed... you shouldn't be able to cast Holy Magic."

Saying this, Allen sighed again. The aura emanating from him grew stronger once more, and the pity was gone from his gaze as he looked at Ella.

"With your strength, even with such a method, you cannot fully release the true power of Holy Magic..."

"Furthermore... how many more times can you cast such a consumable magic?"

As he finished speaking, the energy around Allen suddenly surged again.

This time, no matter how Ella tried to activate her power, she could no longer drive away Allen's pressure.

Watching that aura draw closer and closer, a bitter smile appeared on Ella's pale face.

She hadn't expected Allen's power to have exploded to such a level...

While this power was not yet comparable to a true deity,

it was enough for Allen to act with impunity in any world outside the Divine Realm.

Unfortunately...

Compared to the now-at-ease Allen, Ella felt powerless even just to stall for time.

Just as Ella prepared to use the last of her Holy Power once more...

A clear voice, like spring water, echoed through the empty hall.

"It's settled..."

"Thanks to you buying me some time, now only he remains in the entire palace."

With a flash of silver light,

the surging pressure abruptly vanished.

Ella was slightly stunned. She looked up and saw a silver-white figure standing in front of her.

The moment she saw Xu Ruo, all of Ella's tension vanished instantly.

Just looking at Xu Ruo's back gave her an immense sense of peace.

A smile of relief appeared on her pale face.

"You... you're here."

Xu Ruo did not turn around. He simply looked at the solemn-faced Allen and said calmly,

"Does the soul inside his body belong to that Allen person?"

"Quite a clever method. The soul's aura doesn't seem out of the ordinary, but in reality, it's entirely someone else's soul..."

Feeling the pseudo-god pressure he emitted be instantly crushed by the Silver Knight who had suddenly appeared...

An ominous premonition inexplicably rose in Allen's heart.

"Who are you?"

"Why did I not know the Holy Kingdom had an expert like you?"

He had never received any information that, besides those few Heroes, the Holy Kingdom...

...had gained such a Silver Knight.

Moreover...

That single move just now had made him feel a trace of wariness.

Xu Ruo did not answer Allen's question. With a flash of silver light, he instantly appeared in front of Allen!

Allen's pupils shrank as he hurriedly raised his hands to block.

But he was still knocked back several steps by Xu Ruo's casual strike!

Before Allen could steady himself, Xu Ruo's figure appeared before him once more.

This time, Xu Ruo applied a bit of force.

A fist wrapped in silver light slammed heavily into Allen's chest!

Bang—!!

In an instant, Allen smashed through the throne behind him and was embedded deep into the wall.

In the deep crater in the wall, Allen panted miserably.

Looking at Xu Ruo, who had already arrived before him, a flash of shock passed through the depths of his eyes.

"You..."

"Where are you from?"

Xu Ruo did not answer his question, but simply looked at him quietly.

"Now... you can choose to go on your way yourself, or you can choose to let me do it."

"Of course, if I do it, it won't be as simple as just killing you."

Even though Allen had taken a punch from Xu Ruo and his internal blood was churning,

and he had nearly spat out a mouthful of blood,

at this moment...

there was not a hint of fear or regret in his eyes.

Instead...

there was only an overjoyed look and unconcealable delight.

"Hahaha, good... the heavens are truly helping me!"

"To think that besides those few Heroes, there is such an expert in this world."

"But... this suits me perfectly!"

Saying this, Allen looked up again.

His eyes no longer held the wariness from before; instead, they were filled with a sense of fanaticism and anticipation.

He raised his hand, and the aura constantly rising from his body surged once more!

Even Xu Ruo raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh?"

"It seems you still have a trump card."

"Fine, then let me see it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ruo stopped waiting.

He no longer bothered with testing and directly raised his fist, slamming it down!

This time, Xu Ruo used ten percent of his power.

But as that silver fist collided with Allen's ever-increasing power...

the entire Holy Palace shook violently!

Boom—!!!

A blinding light erupted from the center of the collision,

illuminating the entire hall as if it were broad daylight!

Ella hurriedly raised her hand to cover her eyes, her eardrums ringing.

When the light dissipated, she saw a figure forced backward through the dust, retreating several steps before standing firm.

After this exchange, Allen was in an even more wretched state.

His entire sleeve had been reduced to fragments, and his entire arm was dripping with blood.

He panted heavily, but the look in his eyes as he watched Xu Ruo became increasingly crazed.

"You are very strong..."

"I underestimated this world..."

A look of madness appeared on Allen's face.

"But that's perfect!"

"Before I harvest the power of those Heroes, I don't mind seeing..."

"...if you are qualified to become my chess piece!"

As his words fell, Allen gave another low shout.

As a bloody light emerged, the injuries on his blood-soaked arm healed instantly.

His entire aura began to climb once more!
