Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 341:The Goddess Of Light

Just as Ethan was wondering what was going on, he heard a soft, lodious voice.

"You can't kill him like that."

Ethan spun around.

He saw a woman sitting calmly on the blank white floor. She wore a pure white robe simple yet elegant and a thin golden band gently covered her eyes. Around her, various animals made of soft light played quietly. So chirped, so rolled on the ground, and others rested near her feet.

The scene was incredibly peaceful. For a mont, Ethan felt his heart steady without even realizing it. The tension in his body eased, and his racing thoughts slowed.

"Cute."

The word slipped out before he could stop himself. The mont he realized what he'd said, his expression stiffened.

"..."

A deep silence spread. The animals froze mid-movent and stared at him in shock. Even the woman paused, her head slightly tilted toward him. The air itself seed to hold its breath.

Then, a soft laugh broke the silence.

"Pfft. Hahaha..." The woman's voice was bright with amusent. "I didn't expect soone to call cute. And I really have to agree." She smiled warmly. "It sounded… nice."

Ethan scratched the back of his head and walked forward carefully. His instincts were screaming at him to stay alert, but sohow, he didn't feel any danger from her. Besides, what could he do anyway? She was already here.

He thought about asking the system for information, but the fear of being exposed made him stop. Instead, he moved closer, squatted down, and bowed his head sincerely.

"You are the Goddess of Light, right?"

At his words, the woman's eyes widened.

"Thank you for the support and help you provided indirectly," Ethan added.

"You are quite perceptive." The Goddess of Light smiled. It was a warm, gentle expression, like sunlight on a quiet morning. "I was just curious," she replied.

"Curious?" Ethan lifted his head.

"Yes," she said softly. "After all, you are the greatest anomaly in this world. When you were dragged here by mistake, many argued that you should be killed and erased."

Ethan's eyes narrowed. A ripple of tension passed across his face; he hadn't expected to hear sothing so chilling ntioned so casually.

"Don't worry," the Goddess continued. "You are safe. There were a few votes in your favor."

"…Who were they?" Ethan asked.

"You will know later," she said with a smile, slowly turning away. "I cannot linger for long. I only ca to help."

Her tone shifted as she spoke the next na.

"Argos."

The warmth in the air dimd. "The one you are dealing with is no simple being," she said calmly. "What you fought was not even one percent of his true power. You may be able to defeat him, but you cannot erase his existence."

Ethan frowned. "But I only need to defeat his present self," he said, confused.

"You need to finish his will, not just his body," she replied. "You will understand once you go back. Your blessing needs more faith to deliver true judgnt, but it seems you have so… opinions about ."

Ethan stiffened, alard, but the Goddess gently shook her head.

"It's fine," she said kindly. "I cannot force anyone to believe in . However, you could erase those remnant traces if you followed faithfully. Alas..."

Ethan didn't reply, which made her chuckle.

"You are quite wary. That's good, too." She extended her hand slightly. "Though you cannot erase him yet, you can lock him within the surrounding space. My people are already on their way."

Ethan let out a slow breath. "Thanks."

"Good," she said. "Go now."

She waved her hand lightly. Ethan had many questions, but he chose to hold them back. He knew that once he beca stronger and reached their level, the answers would co naturally.

The space around him cracked. The blank world shattered like glass.

In the next mont, Ethan found himself standing inside a massive crater. His greatsword was embedded deep into the dried, blasted remains of Argos's body, which lay broken and lifeless against the ground.

Argos's body was dead, but sothing felt wrong.

A strange sensation crawled over Ethan's skin, as if sothing unseen was watching him. A piercing pressure weighed down from all directions. He closed his eyes and extended his senses.

Then, he felt it. A force ripped toward him.

He snapped his eyes open and saw the dark miasma twisting, forming into a humanoid shape once again.

"Kakakakaka! You destroyed my body, but my intent remains!"

Ethan frowned and looked around. The land was decaying. Stone crumbled into dust, and the ground blackened as if life itself was being drained away.

"Kekekekekek! Didn't I say you can't kill ? Your powers aren't enough!"

Ethan walked forward calmly and shook his head. "I accept it."

"Huh?"

"Yes," Ethan said evenly. "I accept that I am not strong enough to finish you yet. But that doesn't an it's over."

He gripped his sword.

BOOM!

Holy hymns reverberated through the crater. A blinding flash erupted as Ethan's body began to glow, chunks of radiant light floating around him like fallen stars. His body slowly rose into the air.

"I might not kill you today," Ethan said coldly, "but I can damn well lock you up."

His hands moved swiftly, forming complex signs. Beams of light shot from his body into the sky. Thunder roared. The clouds were blown apart, and the sky trembled violently.

Then, sothing incredible happened.

A miniature sun began to rise high above. It burned bright and pure, radiating overwhelming light that erased every shadow. Even the darkness recoiled. From the heart of that blazing sun, a massive pillar of light descended.

Seeing this, Argos scread. "Noooooo! How is this possible? NOOOOOO!"

"STOP SCREAMING, YOU BASTARD!" Ethan roared.

He clenched his fist. The pillar of light slamd down with devastating force.

BOOOOOOM!

The world shook as divine light crushed the remaining darkness, sealing Argos's will beneath an unbreakable prison of judgnt.

Ethan stood tall, glowing like a god of war, his eyes calm and cold. He might not be able to kill a demon today, but one day…

The day would co when he would be strong enough to enter that monster's ho and beat the life out of it for treating humans like cattle.

And he swore it.
