The sudden power was formless and strange.
But it was unimaginably huge.
Kieran's A rank Strength was completely useless against the power. He was suppressed and Kieran's joints were cracking.
Gak Tss Tss!
Amidst the cracking sounds, Kieran's feet were forcefully pressed into the cement floor, up to his ankles.
More importantly, the power was still increasing.
Kieran could clearly feel that the power wasn't in a hurry to crush him. Instead, it was toying with him like a cat toying with a mouse.
It was careless.
It wanted to crush Kieran.
Not just physically, but mentally as well.
Even though there weren't any notifications about mental interference, Kieran could clearly feel what it was trying to do.
He didn't know why the power was doing this.
But he knew … this was his chance.
"Hah!"
Kieran straightened his neck and shouted loudly. He mustered all his strength and pushed upwards.
He hoped to find an opening for himself to display his abilities.
The opening was much easier than Kieran thought.
The power stopped when it sensed the change in Kieran's body, as if it was waiting for Kieran to make his move.
Everything was as Kieran expected.
The power wanted to crush Kieran mentally and physically.
Therefore, the power didn't mind Kieran's resistance at all.
From a certain aspect, the more Kieran resisted, the happier the power would be.
Only when a person was in a helpless state after exhausting all his means, would he feel despair and would be the easiest to be defeated.
So, when Kieran's body flipped to the ground and his legs were launched above his head, the strange, powerful power appeared again.
However, this time, the power that Kieran unleashed had exceeded the power's expectation.
Bang!
Bang Bang Bang!
A series of muffled sounds came from the invisible air.
With the buff from Transcendence [Hand-to-Hand Combat, Kick Combat], Kieran's Strength and Agility were boosted to S + rank, allowing him to break free.
Then, he launched a counterattack.
Without a moment of hesitation, Kieran quickly launched his kicks and entered the rhythm of [Barsical Kick, Bide].
After the fourth and fifth kicks, Kieran's Strength and Dexterity increased by 2 and 3 again.
On the fourth attack, Kieran's S Rank Strength and Dexterity reached SS.
On the fifth try, it was upgraded to SS +.
The difference between an A and an SS + was like heaven and earth.
The difference of seven levels was a qualitative change.
The invisible force was directly dispersed by the attack.
"Eh?"
A deep voice with an unknown meaning suddenly appeared in Kieran's ears.
Then, the scattered energy gathered once again.
However, it did not directly suppress him. Instead, it changed into another form.
The night sky before Kieran's eyes was getting darker.
The light of the moon and the stars became incomparably dim.
A gigantic figure was emanating a blazing brilliance.
It was like …
The sun!
"Submit to me!"
The thunderous voice rumbled in Kieran's ears ceaselessly.
The impact made Kieran feel like he didn't even have to look at the system notifications to know the negative effects of Fear were flashing in his eyes.
However, Kieran somehow heaved a breath of relief.
One needed to know, his strongest attribute was Spirit! ss+!
Spirit, which had reached the upper limit of Character Model Template, had always been Kieran's biggest reliance.
Even though he was used to fighting with his greatsword and fists.
At this moment, the impact that could destroy a common mystical individual and most of the elite mystical individuals was like a breeze before Kieran's face.
Kieran squinted his eyes and sized up the gigantic figure that was emanating brilliance before him.
He did not need to think too much to figure out the origin of this figure: a deity.
Among the books that he read before, most of them described the Gods as' gigantic ',' radiant ',' majestic 'and so on. In short, all the praises that one could imagine were placed in the description.
But another part of the description was filled with malicious words such as' selfish ',' dark ',' sinister 'and so on.
One side was good.
One side was evil.
That was the impression that the Gods in this world gave to the mortals.
As for the one before him?
It wasn't a kind one.
Whether it was what the Gods did before or what they were doing now.
All of them were trying to crush him.
As for why?
Kieran thought of the God of Judgment.
The 'divine spirit' before him was clearly something similar, broken, and similar to the one before him.
Please don't mind Kieran describing the God as a 'thing'.
It wasn't that he didn't have faith.
It was just that within the scope of his faith, he didn't rely on other existences to protect himself.
He only believed in self-improvement!
As for broken?
Perhaps the God before Kieran was a lot better than the God of Judgment who was only left with an afterimage but it still wasn't a true God. Even though it was just a projection, it was still a distance away.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to resist.
Kieran knew it in his heart since he had read about the masterpieces of the Gods.
"Submit to me!"
Another loud roar sounded.
It was louder and more majestic than before.
It gave Kieran a feeling as if a light breeze had turned into a strong gale.
Although it was painful, it wasn't fatal.
While feeling the pain, Kieran raised his right hand. [Mardos Arm] was glimmering and a crystal clear spider web was fired out, wrapping around the huge, radiant figure.
It wasn't that Kieran didn't think of other ways to resist the figure.
However, the figure before him was obviously an illusory realm between illusion and reality, most of his attacks would be rendered useless and only a few of his abilities would work.
More so, he could clearly feel the longing from [Mardos Arm].
Hunt!
[Mardos Arm] wanted to hunt down the God's afterimage before its eyes.
Mardos was the egg left behind by the Hell Fiend Spider in the mortal world.
The special catalysis and incubation process caused it to suffer from congenital maldevelopment. Not only did it lose the inheritance of the Hell Fiend Spider, but its strength and intellect were also reduced to an extremely low level.
However, its instincts were left behind.
It was facing the God's hunt.
Kieran was shocked but he didn't object when he felt the communication process between the Eye of Chimeras, the devil's energy and the Holy Knight's soul.
Mardos had a congenital defect.
But was the 'deity' in front of him complete?
More so, other than [Mardos Arm], Kieran still had other tricks up his sleeves.
So, at the next moment …
The spider web was wrapped around the God's afterimage.
Fuuu!
The spider fire from hell started to spread on the figure.
A completely untimely cry of pain rang out.
It was just a Strong level of fire and a Common level of negative energy invasion but it made the God's afterimage cry out in pain.
Kieran was stunned.
He activated [Hell Fiend Spider Fire] out of instinct.
He didn't expect such a situation to occur.
What happened next was out of Kieran's expectation.
His eyes widened uncontrollably. (To be continued.)
