"Do you see my glory now...? Monkeys like you shouldn't even dare to gaze upon me," Arthur said, his eyes locking into a cold death-stare.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkhhh32h8Wu
P looked back at him with blank, dark eyes, his brow furrowing as he knelt on his left knee.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzlhxbrZyMh
"You still have the guts to look at me...? I'm going to tear you apart!" Arthur yelled, launching forward.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEfoEWluhPZ
WHOOSH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb1M6L8Imfd
He vanished into thin air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLxxEVQAJ
In the blink of an eye, he materialized at P's left flank, sweeping a high kick straight for P's face.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAU7gSXQBtZo
WEAVE.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy9sF8il1xQ
P ducked his head backward just in time, letting the kick whistle past his nose. But he wasn't fast enough to dodge the follow-up strike.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmeud8yXc40
WHAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANABO5zGiK13h
The second kick caught P flush, blasting him backward across the concrete floor.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEEEGdwFoxb
BAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbzwpC9Dznt
THUD!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqIbClnKANZ
P rolled over his shoulders, snapping back into a low combat stance.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3vkoZVttZ2
WHOOSH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgX1xOXQ1u7
Arthur closed the distance instantly, driving a right fist wrapped in swirling red aura straight toward P's gut.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIUvmFmhjN1
P barely managed to weave his torso out of the path of the blow.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAV8d3wqyuHT
"YOU'RE WEAK!" Arthur sneered.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfhvF8Q16eh
KAPOW!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzTWyjQbvJ4
The shockwave sent P crashing straight over the railing onto the lower casino floor. Six meters up in the air, before P could hit the carpet below—
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQWZjYz3VVu
WHOOSH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAx27mr5oelT
Arthur appeared behind him mid-air, bringing a straight right kick crashing downward.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmlFU1AwAWW
"You will submit—!" Arthur demanded.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQRdIxbuMm6
WHAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAG8ZfrAjV6E
CRASH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3NGlgJQryX
The kick slammed P violently into a cluster of round tables, scattering chairs, glass, and chips across the lower level.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7ylOUwEDmR
P rolled back to his feet, grabbed a wooden table with his left hand, and hurled it straight at Arthur's head.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIEwLYyD7tg
Arthur vanished to the side.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzeesDGt572
WHOOSH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEmEI38oD3n
"REALLY?" Arthur taunted, his eyes glowing dark red.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAum47BNRxqD
He vanished again to evade a second flying chair.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7Lz56e1md8
WHOOSH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyilO4C5s5g
"Is that..."
168Please respect copyright.PENANATOoFYWkjOy
WHOOSH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAp8ZxY2MCEt
"...all you've got?" Arthur asked coldly.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAdqvIamwSm
He materialized right in front of P, driving a left hook toward P's right ribs—
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv24uS60g62
WHOOSH......
168Please respect copyright.PENANARoLztsgFDL
Arthur froze. He suddenly noticed P's right hand was already resting firmly on his left wrist.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIYbhkhaO9q
P's left leg swept upward through the air, accelerating straight toward Arthur's face.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAba0NsmJUSV
WHAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6YhlDIhnzI
CRASH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAu1uQme1aqA
Arthur was blasted nine meters backward by an impossible amount of kinetic force, crashing through a row of chairs before slamming into a far wall.
168Please respect copyright.PENANACIBP8ZSa23
"—Argh!" Arthur spat a mouthful of blood onto the floor.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIAAH5Kyhcc
"H-How...?" Arthur stammered, rolling over. But before he could finish his thought—
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvBAKQAHZg3
CLICK.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVMvhu3n1NG
The environment abruptly shifted perspective.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8IYOresKGs
From Arthur's point of view, suspended high in the air, he could see the entire lower level of the casino—the scattered tables, broken chairs, and the distant bar stand—slowly turning completely upside down.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHGFpzAqsYF
WHOOOH......
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtg0rr3BiGh
As his red eyes rolled downward, he saw P.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATkNaM5UdtD
P stood with his left leg crossed over his right. His right hand was stretched high into the air, his left hand swung low behind his back, his head tilted down. Only the broad silhouette of his back frame was visible.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZJaX88quXB
It looked like he had just kicked a soccer ball.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASh2PS40hrL
Arthur was spinning upside down in mid-air right in front of him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnCa9N8U9sJ
"...WHAT IS THIS...? It looks just like before..." Arthur thought in shock.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiOXRizm1XC
He remembered the blurred vision from earlier—the moment where P's leg distorted space itself just before landing a strike.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfNa7VENoKH
Arthur's eyes went completely white.
168Please respect copyright.PENANANGYeDlZxaN
WHAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZngGt5MJJa
P threw a straight punch right into Arthur's skull while Arthur was flipped upside down mid-air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUrwbdCaEOg
CRAAASSH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2rwc4bAbTR
Arthur launched across the floor, crashing directly into the center of a massive wheel of fortune far behind him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANArUMAllgv3N
His eyes went white for a second before his pupils snapped back, dragging him back into consciousness. "Gurgh!" Blood sprayed from his lips.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZR6L8b51R8
STEP. STEP.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdRaPCR3E2X
P walked forward, casually kicking broken furniture out of his path as he approached Arthur.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgN84ZIWIJR
"Don't think that just because you have powers, you hold the upper hand. You're merely a child who doesn't even understand what he's using... or what he's doing," P said, his tone turning ice-cold. "And don't you dare call yourself an Elohim... It is impossible for a human to be one."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAy3KTnj92P
STEP.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqtRvwMm5Kz
P stopped in his tracks. He crossed his arms, placing his left hand on his chin in deep thought.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtySWjbHBa3
"...Mnt. Though... there was one," P muttered to himself.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv79TcoeYqq
"Do you even realize how small you are?" P asked blankly.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAo2f0BMMl0o
Arthur's blood boiled instantly.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3YQgdAxKuD
"—Keurk— HOW DARE YOU! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A CHILD?!" Arthur screamed, the red aura around his body exploding into a massive, violent vortex.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjoNeHSwPyY
"FROM A LOWLY MONKEY LIKE YOU... I WON'T ACCEPT THIS!" Arthur yelled, tearing himself free from the shattered wheel of fortune.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAW2GUVlk7ys
"Haaaa..." P let out a long, frustrated sigh. "I have way too many questions right now..."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXDizW0PP4n
BZZT!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdYbuLwWG72
KRAAA!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyTzYousW2o
BOOM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPmenA2mIEd
"YAAAAH!" Arthur charged with a raging left hook, his eyes completely consumed by crimson light.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA35XQOTbhtl
POW!
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6z28mTCurQ
"Aaaah!" P yelled as he took the strike, thrown backward with his arms flailing and his left leg high in the air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwD10248e9h
THUD!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdbhlw4d8bm
P slammed onto the ground, rolling across the floor before instantly popping back up.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqhL4ZwmlfA
"YOU WILL LEARN YOUR PLACE!" Arthur roared, throwing a high left kick.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATCRNPLy2NT
WEAVE.
168Please respect copyright.PENANANYgC5fH4it
"What the—?" P muttered.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA71kxTGIvKv
P weaved backward, falling back-first onto a high-stakes blackjack table, then fluidly rolled off the back edge.
168Please respect copyright.PENANACBbRmDrZ7u
POW!
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1u6eCTpVYr
"HAAAH!" Arthur smashed his fist through the wooden table, obliterating it instantly as P landed clean on his feet behind the debris.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtzY4RXRIAf
ROLL.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2MNlxXlJeP
TMP.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaJCcABpW8g
P's hand clamped onto a metal-framed casino chair right beside him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUu5gl8DN9n
CLENCH.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMzL5ZNUTLs
"Place...? Nigga, I'm broke!" P yelled, swinging the chair with full force.
168Please respect copyright.PENANARstBX7l5Nx
SWING!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAo2kZgHqTLc
SLAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANARfAF2oMlbT
"ARGGH...! How is a damn chair hurting me?!" Arthur screamed in pain.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0rZ2snjETw
The chair shattered across Arthur's face, sending him flying sideways across the floor.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnIaeBDewkr
TMP.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHfP40R0pVf
Arthur caught himself on all fours, flipping through the air to absorb the momentum.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvrLZsJZBVM
FLIP.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6F0U7tTQUS
THUD!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmVkGsKn3V4
STEP.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIlZJaCg1J5
He dug his boots into the floor, forcing himself into a fighting stance.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIIzQM7A2bl
"Hargh... What is this...? A few minutes ago, everything he did was completely useless against my form..." Arthur thought anxiously. "But now..."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIWvG4cKtuC
The next thing filling Arthur's vision was the sole of P's shoe coming straight for his nose.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlprMvFowkC
"It's like he's fighting on par with me... No... Could he be...?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6bv1FSw0sv
WEAVE.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoPv7sgTmKp
Arthur ducked sharply to the right, letting P's kick graze empty air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAogS5EcCoZc
"He's adapting... No—he's EXCEEDING! There's no way... A normal human can't do this!" Arthur panicked internally. "ONLY ELOHIMS CAN!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8LB3vlOLDj
"DIE!" Arthur screamed, catching P by the back of his neck and slamming him violently into the floor.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzSJm0t2ACt
SLAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAskpo7whe4Z
"I still have the upper hand..." Arthur assured himself.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKzAXvfmKDb
P rolled over his shoulders, his back smashing through a small side table as he reset his stance.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7PJlavZZHr
Arthur lunged in with a sharp right kick aimed at P's jaw, but P caught his leg mid-air. Before Arthur could react—
168Please respect copyright.PENANAikgIRk6vx1
CRACK!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGyAtuQraV7
"Argh!" Arthur shrieked.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAspgl12GhLm
P drove a heavy open-palm strike straight down into Arthur's knee joint, bending his leg backward into a sickening V-shape.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVsBOHQDw5B
"How can this be...?!" Arthur thought, his mind breaking.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9UrJNG3CcG
P grabbed Arthur by the hair with his right hand, yanking him forward into a brutal headbutt—
168Please respect copyright.PENANAww68CT6jNG
CRACK!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHrsLzYKlkx
The impact forced Arthur's leg back straight. P immediately slammed Arthur's head downward against his own leg, bending the knee into a V-shape once more, then yanked him up by the hair and straightened the leg a second time.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGwolUTQiPX
CRACK!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHqnalU7ILc
"Hugh!" Arthur choked out.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQHzvi8R9Mx
P followed up with a spinning left kick straight into Arthur's jaw, launching him across the floor.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFU5NqLRXPY
WHAM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5wnm908mjs
"With every single hit... it feels like my energy is draining away... But he doesn't have powers! He's just using his hands!" Arthur thought.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcq2KlDSorh
CRASH!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVME9dIs5k6
Arthur smashed through a roulette table, rolling onto his back.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQPWD1osn4C
"Except..."
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zh6HrYHLQ
A distant memory suddenly surfaced in Arthur's mind...
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXcOAqgYbfZ
"ARTHUR..." a deep, commanding voice echoed.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8zVlfcNyYA
"NOW THAT YOU HAVE MASTERED THE TECHNIQUE, YOU ARE AN ELOHIM AMONG ELOHIMS—A LIVING GOD, A SAINT OF THE BENEVOLENT. NO MAN OF THIS WORLD, NOR BEYOND THIS REALM, WILL EVER STAND AGAINST YOU IN ALL THE IMMORTAL DAYS OF YOUR LIFE... EXCEPT THE ELOHIMS WHO RANK ABOVE YOU, OF COURSE."
168Please respect copyright.PENANArkNSLIHmI3
In the memory, a younger Arthur knelt on a woven mat inside a vibrant, lush garden overflowing with life. Before him sat a towering figure draped in rich crimson robes.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ev8tUxSLa
"How can you be so sure, Master...?" Arthur asked curiously.
168Please respect copyright.PENANApvcog0Hnrr
"HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE SCRIPTURES?!" the master roared, his voice trembling with terrifying pressure.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWBmLMDmOEi
Instantly, all life in the garden withered. Rabbits, deer, and birds dropped dead where they stood as if sliced by an invisible blade. Blood soaked through the grass and trees while the sky overhead turned blood-red.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgRmPmQkg6H
Terrified, Arthur slammed his forehead against the mat. "I apologize, Master! I, a lowly servant of the High Saint, would never question the sacred scriptures!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAblIRZ02sGw
"HMPH! IGNORANT FOOL... ALWAYS BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES! BUT THE SCRIPTURES ALSO WARN OF EXCEPTIONS... THE REGULATORS. FALSE CHOSEN ONES WHO POSSESS POWER NEARLY EQUAL TO OUR OWN. THESE FALSE SAINTS DEFY OUR FAITH AND CAN BATTLE THE TRUE SAINTS. THEY MUST BE ERADICATED. THEY MAY NOTICE YOU AND TRY TO HUNT YOU... BUT YOU ARE CAPABLE. MEETING A NORMAL HUMAN WHO CAN OVERPOWER YOU WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIB—"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5kMjlKOD0D
The master's voice abruptly cut off, as if catching himself mid-sentence.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqdmilMMSQm
"...RAISE YOUR HEAD."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAii9GertUN0
Arthur slowly lifted his head, blood trickling down his nose, not daring to speak.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6wnrnwx3po
"CAN AN ENTIRE OCEAN BE CONTAINED INSIDE A SINGLE CUP?" the master asked.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3EYGfk4WGh
"...No, Master. That would be impossible," Arthur replied.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMraQMYP5uw
"He's explaining the difference in our power levels," Arthur thought, keeping his eyes cast down.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAB9nGxXbkvA
"CORRECT... YET THAT LOGIC HAS ALREADY BEEN DEBUNKED," the master stated coldly.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAof4iApYQfS
"How...?" Arthur's eyes widened in disbelief.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZt0WNtz0Ni
"BY ONE BEING WHO IS NOT AND STILL OF THIS WORLD, ANSWERED THAT QUESTION. A CONFUSION THAT CONFUSES CONFUSION ITSELF. A CHAOS THAT TERRIFIES CHAOS. THAT WHICH CANNOT BE PERCEIVED... YET STILL CAN BE SEEN."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPXkV4bE1ZU
"M-Master... I don't understand these riddles," Arthur stammered.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9v4tJF0tME
"EVEN YOU MUST KNOW THAT DEATH COMES IN MANY FORMS. SO HEED MY WARNING... DO NOT BE DECEIVED!"168Please respect copyright.PENANAwOPdoYHK9E
