“Haha!”
A burst of scornful laughter sounded, and it was definitely ridiculing them.
Finally, the huge hand grabbed onto the Fortuna.
In front of the huge hand, the ray of Fortuna didn't show the slightest sign of resistance. Instead, it just willingly let the huge hand grab onto it.
After grabbing the Fortuna tightly, the huge hand took Lacey as well before retreating.
“Lacey!” Zeke shouted angrily.
Not under my watch! There was no way Zeke would let anything harm the person he loved.
Turning his anger into power, he kept struggling. He even used his life force.
At last, he managed to break free from the airflow constricting him, and then he was chasing after the huge hand.
The huge hand snickered once more before it flicked Zeke away with just a finger.
Although the finger didn't come into contact with Zeke, the shockwave sent him flying a few kilometers away.
Initially, The Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus wanted to fight back. However, they changed their minds immediately after seeing what had happened to Zeke. The opposition sent the Great Marshal, who has the Ossa Dei, flying with just a flick! We're definitely not strong enough to fight it.
In the blink of an eye, the huge hand disappeared.
Meanwhile, the invisible force binding Zeke and the other two also vanished.
Upon regaining their freedom, The Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus immediately ran in the direction of the huge hand.
At that point, they didn't even bother ganging up on Zeke.
That huge hand had undeniably reminded them of the ancient Gods. Only the ancient Gods have that sort of power, right? If we can find even a trace of the Gods, we'll be able to increase our powers! Once we have that, we won't need the Fortuna or Ossa Dei!
After getting flicked away, Zeke suffered heavy injuries, and he was coughing out mouthfuls of blood.
In fact, he was so weak that he didn't even have the energy to go after the huge hand.
When he gazed in the direction that the huge hand had gone, his eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction. “F*ck! What the hell was that? It was so strong! It was a lot stronger than someone in the Celestial Class! Hmph! I don't care. Since it dared to mess around in Eurasia, I'm going to kill it!”
Right then, Zeke, The Guardian of Mount Kush, and Erebus had just realized how insignificant they were. It turns out there's such a ridiculously strong force in existence! Not even a person in the Celestial Class can beat it! There must be a few more levels higher than the Celestial Class. Basically, there will always be someone stronger!
“Zeke, what happened to you?”
“Where's Lacey? Where is she?”
“F*ck! There's a strong wave of negative energy in the area. It has to be someone from the Netherworld!”
“We're too late! Please forgive us, Great Marshal!”
Sole Wolf, Ares, and the others had finally arrived.
When Sole Wolf saw the blood flowing out from the corners of Zeke's mouth, he was shocked. “You're hurt, Zeke! You're really hurt!”
“How could that be? Daemonium of the Netherworld is already dead, no? Who else is capable of hurting you?”
Upon hearing what Sole Wolf said, the rest were stupefied. With Daemonium dead, who else can harm the Great Marshal? Besides, he's one Ossa Dei away from being the ultimate force.
They couldn't accept the fact that the Great Marshal was injured.
Zeke took in a deep breath and said, “One of the Gods harmed me!”
The Gods? The rest were stunned. “What Gods?”
“The Gods themselves!” Zeke answered.
What? The rest were flabbergasted. “Zeke, are you saying that Gods actually exist in this world?”
“The enemy utterly dominated me just now. Only the Gods have that sort of ability!” Zeke answered.
