794 Proud (1/2)

The overwhelming, superior light on the seventh floor of Mountain Paradise broke out, and the purest and most flawless light swept out, transforming the sky into a glowing ocean and removing all sounds, colors, and feelings.

The extraordinarily bright moon surged toward the spherical magic circle down below overwhelmingly. At this moment, space and time did not seem to exist anymore, and the light of God's Arrival was simply flowing unstoppably. The spherical circle and Lucien in it seemed to have been frozen in the decayed page of a history book.

Even Fernando, who was outside of the range of God's Arrival, could only sense the things within one meter from him. Beyond it, there was nothing but the magnificent and divine brilliance in his eyes and the field of his spiritual power.

Right then, a silver moon rose in the vast holy light that purged everything in the world, dreamy and freezing.

After the silver moon appeared, God's Arrival seemed to have been delayed briefly, and the spherical magic circle, as well as Lucien inside, were enlivened.

Pope Viken was not surprised at Alterna's blockage. She was not the target of this ”God's Arrival”, which had been focused on the spherical magic circle, and she was only slightly affected. So, it was only reasonable that she helped to delay it briefly so that Lucien Evans would have an opportunity to escape.

It was a pity that she was a little bit late. Lucien Evans had reached the most critical moment to break into the demigod level, and he was inseparable from the spherical magic circle. He was destined to be killed by God's Arrival.

Pope Viken was quite sorry about that too. He had never intended to kill Lucien Evans so easily. The road ahead was too perilous, and such an excellent explorer was inestimably valuable. If only the guy had been not so ambitious and adept at planning that he had to kill him.

The silver moon quickly dimmed, and even though the light of God's Arrival was slightly delayed, it was about to reach above the spherical magic circle.

Suddenly, Lucien, who had been refreshed inside the spherical magic circle, raised his head and looked at the holy light thoughtfully.

Then, his lips curled into a gentle smile.

This is… Pope Viken could perceive what was inside the spherical magic circle through God's Arrival. He was rather stunned that Lucien was neither frustrated nor desperate but was smiling at him as if he was bidding farewell. He suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Boom!

Lucien's body that was in the white shirt and yellow waistcoat exploded entirely, like a watermelon that was thrown to the ground from ten thousand meters high!

Flesh and blood splashed out, and the light of God's Arrival completely drowned the place!

Inside a secret chamber in Babel in the Atomic Universe…

A weirdly-shaped silver amulet, which looked like part of twisted intestines, released bright but not dazzling light in a long box that was fully embedded with gems. The feeling of exuberance and vitality immediately filled the room.

Natasha, who was guarding the place with her longsword in her hands, became solemn after seeing that. She grasped the Sword of Truth tightly, ready to chop any attack that followed!

The energy of the magic gems flowed into the silver amulet, and the other materials in the long box were dismembered and melted. The silver amulet lost its beautiful appearance and was reduced to a messy, bloody cluster that dissected and grew.

The internal organs grew out, the bones grew out, the muscles grew out, and so did the skin and the hair.

Natasha's solemness was gone. She looked at the scene with a smile, not disgusted at all but scratching her chin with great interest. ”So, the body that hasn't taken shape is so hideous…”

Lucien's naked body was finally full. His skin was clean, his muscles were tough and smooth, and he looked like a statue.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes. The glittering holy light seemed to be still lingering in his deep and dark eyes.

”God's Arrival?” Natasha observed him up and down like a naughty boy and asked curiously.

The residues in Lucien's eyes were gone, and he nodded softly. ”Thankfully, my appendix was waiting for me at home. Otherwise, I couldn't have avoided God's Arrival even though the Silver Moon delayed it.”

Since the very beginning, Lucien had planned to dodge Pope Viken's critical strike with self-explosion!

He was proud that he had an appendix!

”What does it feel to confront 'God's Arrival'? How terrible was it?” Natasha asked quickly. She was always interested and curious about battles.

Lucien's lips twitched. ”Do you want me to talk to you naked?”

”It's not like you've never talked to me naked,” Natasha said, not fearing that her eyes would be blinded by the nudity at all. Of course, she also tossed the clothes that she prepared in advance to Lucien.

Then, she asked intentionally, ”Where are your gears? They were not destroyed in the self-explosion or God's Arrival, were they?”

She made fun of him because she knew very well that her husband was a miser in nature, and that his heart would've been broken if the few legendary items were lost.
