The mont Ethan moved, no one else hesitated.
There was no room for fear.
Every last ounce of power was unleashed without reservation, rging into the Sky Fortress’s main cannon fire.
The sky roared like it was on the verge of collapse.
Space fractured under the pressure, cracks spiderwebbing outward, threatening to shatter the entire airspace at any second.
And in the heart of that apocalyptic energy storm—
Varkhan, Supre Ruler of the Vorgar Empire, smiled.
For the first ti, a flicker of genuine interest lit his eyes.
"Interesting," he murmured.
"Didn’t expect a low-tier Plane World to push back this hard."
Under his will, the energy spheres intensified—compressed tighter, burning hotter—then surged downward again.
Then—
He slowly drew the sword at his waist.
With a casual flick, the blade carved through the air.
A beam of sword light, honed to absolute precision, sliced through the chaotic storm like it was paper. It carried the weight of a world-ending strike, descending with unstoppable force.
And just as that sword light fully ford—just as it was about to fall—
Ethan moved.
His body shot forward like lightning tearing through space, faster than anyone could react.
No dodge.
No retreat.
He raised his hand—and t the blade head-on.
BOOM—!!!
Blinding energy detonated in his palm, the shockwave blasting outward in all directions.
"How foolish," Varkhan’s voice echoed coldly across the battlefield, laced with disdain.
"You really think, at your level, you can block my power?"
But as the words left his mouth, his expression twisted.
No longer amused.
Now furious.
The kind of fury that ca from being challenged—by soone who shouldn’t even be able to stand.
His power erupted in full.
The sky itself seed to bend, dragged into his domain.
Behind him, golden light surged and twisted, forming the massive silhouette of a dragon—its wings stretching across the heavens, its presence suffocating.
As the dragon’s form solidified, a colossal energy sphere began to condense beneath its claws.
Ethan forced himself to stay upright.
He shattered the sword light that had nearly torn his arm apart, then—without pause—used the recoil to launch himself straight into the golden dragon’s shadow.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM—!
The sky went wild.
Energy spiraled out of control, space convulsing violently. Cracks spread like wildfire, visible to the naked eye. The entire battlefield looked like it was seconds from collapse.
At the sa ti, the frontlines erupted into the bloodiest phase of the battle.
But the outco was never in question.
The Vorgar Empire’s forces were overwhelming.
Their power—more refined, more brutal—crushed Erald Castle’s defenses in a matter of monts.
Ethan had expected this.
He knew better than anyone where his army’s limits lay.
If he couldn’t take down Varkhan—fast—
Then no matter how many attacks he blocked on the battlefield...
Erald Castle’s fate would be the sa.
Total annihilation.
Ethan took a deep breath.
It felt like the last breath he’d ever take.
In the next instant, he ford a tightly compressed energy sphere in his palm.
No hesitation.
He slamd it straight into his own chest—into his heart.
Agony exploded through his body.
This wasn’t just backlash. It was a violent tear at the very core of his life force.
HUMMM—
HUMMM—
HUMMM—
Deep within him, three forces ignited at once.
Idra and Auri’s powers responded imdiately, surging to life the mont he called.
They’d been holding nothing back since the battle began.
The real uncertainty was Lily.
Ever since rging with Ethan, she’d remained dormant—her consciousness sealed, her power locked away in so deeper layer.
If he couldn’t wake her now—
There was no way he’d survive what ca next.
Energy rampaged through his body, colliding, spiraling, threatening to tear him apart from the inside.
The energy sphere he’d forced into his heart had done its job—it pushed all three forces to the brink of eruption.
The cost was his life.
Almost instantly, a world-ending aura burst from Ethan’s body.
The surge was so intense it triggered every weapon system in his Powered Combat Armor to deploy at once, all of them entering overload mode.
BOOM—!
Ethan stepped forward.
The shockwave from his movent alone shattered the golden dragon projection into fragnts of light.
The illusion collapsed.
And in the next breath, he was standing face-to-face with Varkhan.
Varkhan’s pupils contracted sharply.
For the first ti, he truly looked at Ethan.
"Not bad," he said coldly.
"As expected of Erald Castle’s lord."
"To make it this far... I’ll rember your na."
Then his tone dropped, voice like a blade.
"But this is where it ends."
"Now, I’ll show you what real power looks like."
With a roar, Varkhan compressed his energy again.
A new sphere ford in his hand—larger than the last, pulsing with raw annihilation—and he hurled it down with crushing force.
Ethan didn’t move back.
There was no fear in his eyes.
He pulled every scrap of energy he could reach, forming a massive Energy Disc in his palm—and hurled it straight into the incoming sphere.
BOOM—!!!
The two forces collided midair, twisting, tearing, detonating in a storm of destruction.
The sky shattered.
Cracks spread like spiderwebs across the heavens, space itself fracturing under the strain.
Ethan kept fighting.
More power poured into him, feeding the clash.
But he knew the truth.
Every surge of strength ca at a cost—his life, draining away piece by piece.
If this kept up—
He would die.
No question.
But there was no turning back.
Not now.
Ti dragged.
Ethan’s face grew visibly paler with every second.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
Weakness washed over him like a rising tide, threatening to drown him.
Still, he held on.
He forced the system interface open, launching scan after scan.
He was searching.
For anything.
Even a single weakness.
But the results only sank his heart deeper.
Nothing.
The system couldn’t detect a single flaw.
Varkhan—Supre Ruler of the Vorgar Empire—stood at the absolute peak of power.
And that strange white armor he wore?
It amplified his strength dozens of tis over.
Even the natural aura leaking from his body was enough to push the entire sky to the brink of collapse.
