Chapter 418 (1/2)
<hr />
Ku-rung, rumble—
Bzz, vzzzz—
The lightning energy from the Somersault cloud was still gathering in Su-hyeun’s hand.
Honestly, there wasn’t a real need to reach up with his hand to grasp the electrical energy. From the get-go, all the lightning energy infusing the Somersault cloud was the power he commanded, anyway. As such, all the electricity gathered in his hand rather naturally as well.
However, the ability to hold onto electrical energy that didn’t have any physical form or shape and giving it a tangible form came from the glove Su-hyeun wore over his left hand.
“For sure, its compatibility is really outstanding,” he thought.
The ability of the god of Olympus, Zeus, was wielding lightning bolts. Su-hyeun had never met Zeus before, but even then, he still knew that the power symbolizing the god in the myths was the heavenly punishment that struck down from the skies—the thunderbolts.
The Thunder Glove was an item that allowed the wearer to grasp lightning and amplify its destructive power. This item alone granted the authority to freely command thunder and lightning, which was basically the same as acquiring yet another qualification of godhood.
And Su-hyeun already possessed the power called the Somersault cloud that could command lightning.
“Did they choose this reward in consideration of my Somersault cloud?”
He had no choice but to think that way. After using it, he now knew for sure. He understood how well this item combined with the Somersault cloud.
Shu-wuwuwu—
One of Tyrant’s numerous hands reached right before Su-hyeun’s eyes. Each of these hands featured sharp fangs, and they were pouncing on him with incredible gripping power, too.
Nonetheless, to Su-hyeun, they were all moving very slowly. No, wait—it wasn’t as simple as “moving slowly” but something more than that.
He was vividly seeing the future that would happen in a short while.
[Clairvoyance]
<ul>
The user can confirm the future about to happen shortly.
The future confirmed in this manner can be altered by the user.
The scope of the future that can be confirmed will depend on the user’s proficiency.
Proficiency: 0.08%

Clairvoyance was another skill that he acquired through Divine Art. This skill could only be activated through prana and not the usual magical energy. It was also completely on another realm compared to how one could foresee the possible future after raising one’s Reflex stat extremely high.
Su-hyeun had to confirm the difference between sensing the future like seeing it and then actually seeing it vividly.
Crunch—!
It looked as though Tyrant’s hand had swallowed up Su-hyeun’s body. However, Su-hyeun had already moved out of the way to the side by then.
Fwhooooosh—!
Chomp, choooomp—
Chomp, chomp, chomp, choooomp—
Hundreds of hands busily darted about to capture Su-hyeun, but he simply flitted left, right, up, and down to dodge, all the while activating his Clairvoyance.
He could clearly see everything—specifically, where he should move and which action would be the most optimal course to take for him.
“One, two…”
And as he dodged the hundreds of hands, Su-hyeun’s back began arching back like a bow. In his left hand still wearing Zeus’s Thunder Glove was the famed Thunderbolt ready to be thrown at the target.
And so, right after he counted inwardly to two…
“Three!”
When he had counted the last number, he threw the pure-white Thunderbolt crackling with electricity that had been completed in his hand.
Right in that moment…
FLASH—!
The entire world was instantly dyed in a searing white light.
KWA-RUUUMBLE—!
<hr />
The whole world became pure white. The light was too intense that not even “Insight” could see through it. It was bright enough to even blind the eyes.
Even the one who threw the lightning bolt, Su-hyeun, had to furrow his brow really deeply. He wasn’t affected by the electrical discharge, but he couldn’t even guess the quantity of electricity currently blanketing the world.
Without a doubt, the Thunderbolt was shaped like a slick and slender spear in his hand, which was only around two meters in length, yet it had this effect. It must have contained one heck of an electrical charge than Su-hyeun had imagined.
Time passed by, and gradually, color returned to the whitened world.
The first thing he saw was one of Tyrant’s arms reaching out toward him. Su-hyeun extended his hand at the burnt-black arm.
Crumble…
The moment their hands touched, the Predator’s arm turned into powder and crumbled to the ground before scattering away.
Su-hyeun shifted his gaze over to Tyrant’s torso connected to the crumbling arm. The Predator, with its entire figure scorched black, was not regenerating anymore.
However, that wasn’t all that surprising since Tyrant’s body had become fine powder that crumbled to the ground. It wasn’t just his arm but his entire being had turned into blackened powder.
Crumble, scatter—
Soon after that, Su-hyeun’s eyes finally caught the surrounding scenery.
“Well, this is definitely more than I imagined.”
The single lightning bolt that Su-hyeun fired at Tyrant and no one else ended up affecting everything his eyes could see. The destructive power on display was one thing, but the attack range was also well beyond Su-hyeun’s initial estimation.
His divine Flame could also influence an area as large as this, yes, but the case with the Thunderbolt was definitely not the same at all.
“It would’ve been really bad if someone was nearby.”
The divine Flame burned all those that Su-hyeun wanted to burn. The flip side of that meant that those he didn’t want to burn would never be affected.
On the other hand, Su-hyeun was not in complete control of the Thunderbolt. Therefore, if its attack range turned out to be well beyond his estimation, then the skill would become difficult to use if there were allies nearby.
Crackle, buzzzz—
Su-hyeun created one more Thunderbolt in his grip, but then he noticed something within his reserve.
Maybe using the powers of both Somersault cloud and the Thunder Glove at once was to blame here, but he sensed that his prana and magical energy reserve were draining out at an alarming rate.
Nonetheless, he proceeded to throw the bolt at a tall mountain visible in a far-off distance.
Fwhoooooosh—
Crackle, bzzzzz, crackleeee—!
KA-BOOOOM—!
A blinding light flashed from the mountain targeted by the spear, and a plume of electricity exploded upward. The mountain itself shattered into pieces, and even before its debris could scatter, it got pulverized out of existence.
“Crazy son of a…”
