The Void had something that put the husband in fear.

His divine energy feared it as well, but he couldn't even tell what it was...

Akaro was more shocked since she literally couldn't feel anything. Her eyes looked at the void in the sky, and then it spread wider and wider...

So wide it turned into the mouth of some grotesque creature.

From this mouth, the man clad in purple armor appeared. His armor had the void design, and it looked like he wore some monster's skin!

He glanced at Kyoya and said, "Congratulations. You have acquired divine energy and stepped on the path towards godhood... And congratulations again, for I am the god-slayer. It will be your honor to die from my sword before you become the god."

That was some twisted logic...

"Akaro, have you heard about the god-slayers?" The husband asked.

"I haven't... They might be the force to haunt people with divine energy, and they somehow grasped power to go around the world pillars... Otherwise, I can't explain the lack of knowledge about them," Akaro replied.

The God-slayer was called Mina, "Haha! We can kill the gods. I am one of the new god-slayers, so I go around the world and hunt the candidates..." He sneered, "Before I reach the strength, go get rid of gods!"

Kyoya narrowed his eyes and took out his ice knife, "He won't let us go... Let's fight him..." The husband planned to fight together with Akaro and all his friends to press against this man with their strongest force.

However, the god-slayer turned out to be a step ahead.

He appeared before Kyoya, and he summoned "God-slayer Cathedral." This was the summoning skill similar to the husband's House Of Cards.

The new dimension appeared and trapped the husband in.

His body became heavier, and the unknown concept, 'God-slayer Concept,' wore his body down... It felt like a thousand ants ate his body!

He waved his ice knife and whispered, "All out, Yesfir. The House Of Cards." The husband summoned his own power, and the two forces clashed.

In his house of cards, the husband had many platforms to move! He also could control those platforms to his advantage, either using them as an attack or defense.

Yesifr also passed her concept to the husband's effigies.

Those demonic jesters laughed while clad in the cold clothes.

In tandem, they rushed at Mina!

The husband blended in their ranks and hid all his energies!

Then, in a sudden thrust, his knife let out the combination of his and Yesfir's energies!

Mina laughed, "Haha! Throw some more!" His sword killed all effigies and reflected the husband's thrust!

He slashed back, but the husband wasn't weak either.

Their quick exchange looked equal, but the husband felt more pressure, and... the ants returned to eat his body!

It meant that his skills were losing against the god-slayer!

-

"We should gather more believers," Akaro concluded.

The husband's party tried to penetrate through that formation, but nothing worked so far. They lacked strength, but they didn't lack the means to help the husband.

Everyone understood Akaro's intent.

"They will bring energy to the husband and help him."

That was the reasoning.

Therefore, the husband's party went across the floors to spread his game system. This game system helped with the hybrid concepts, and it was taken like hot muffins! Everyone gladly used this help and inevitably became the husband's disciple!

But Akaro had passed the instructions to others as well.

Those instructions were just words, but those words turned every believer into a heated believer!

-

"Formidable!" Mina shouted.

Despite the clear strength advantage, the husband was coping well with the god-slayer concept.

They fought, but no clear gap could be found in the husband's style.

Mina was impressed, but he never lost sight of the husband.

And that was the crux of the husband's dilemma...

His high speed didn't work, nor did his execution skills.

He couldn't deal the proper blow, nor could he execute the god-slayer!

Mina also didn't plan to fight for too long!

He shouted, "GOD-SLAYER CROSS!"

The golden-purple cross instantly rose from the ground. It wrapped the husband and completely pinned him down... He felt his whole instincts alarming him, but his body couldn't react at all.

Sealed in the cross, his eyes rose, "..."

Mina's smile was a relieved one... "This is the 'EXECUTION' technique. Farewell, you were good." Since the husband couldn't move, the technique was done perfectly.

Mina was feeling relieved, and he turned heels.

His room began shrinking as well, which added another pressure onto the husband!

-

"I was feeling something nice... And so here we are," The First Trickster God revisited the world pillar.

This time, he was with Zaya and Rhest.

Both of them looked at him with weird eyes, but when they noticed the unknown purple box in the middle of the world pillar, their expressions turned different.

They were... questioning this existence.

But why would they question something in the world pillar? That was a mortal world!

The First Trickster God burst out laughing, "This is the god-slayer's cathedral... And he just used the cross on the husband."

He was the only one who knew the origin of the god-slayers.

"The husband won't lose, however. The Ascension is just about to begin! He has such a hard-working family compared to mine," He shook his head, but for the outsiders, it was the mask going side to side.

Just like the first said, the husband could only ascend and become the god. He had no other way to free himself from the cross.

Therefore, he prayed as the god and reached all the hearts of his believers.

This ended up with the mass ques that provided him enough belief and powers.

In the middle of the cross, the husband's body shone golden-red!

On the outside, the clouds turned golden as well.

Those golden clouds belonged to other trickster gods, however.

The First explained, "No one wants more competitors. The tricksters felt the arrival of the ninth and the eight would send his weapon to kill the husband."

"Why are you explaining this to us if we know this well?" The duo asked.

"No reason."

The golden clouds dwarfed the purple void in the sky.

From it, the golden lightning bolt fell straight onto the cathedral.

However, the three gods could see the weapon hidden inside.

All of them sneered.

Boom!

Both Zaya and Rhest widened their eyes, "It didn't destroy the cathedral."

"Well, well... The new god-slayer has received some help." The First shrugged.

Since the eight failed, the seventh was the next.

He sent his weapon, and a golden lightning bolt struck the cathedral.

It failed too.

The sixth, the fifth, the fourth... All of them failed as well.

The third was the same, and the second took matters into her hands...

But she also failed, and her lightning bolt dispersed.

Nonetheless, the cathedral had cracks, so if the husband ascended, he would be able to just destroy it and kill Mina!

Alas, his ascension couldn't progress.

It was due to the help Mina received.

It was the help from the god-slayer who could hunt the real gods.

"Did he sense me? I guess it has to be it... Haha! Then, I will help my brother." The First Trickster God raised his body.

On his two, he raised his hand and flicked his fingers.

Zaya reacted belatedly, "Wait... Your brother?"

Rhest was the same, shock all over his face.

In the sky, the golden cloud trembled and spread across the whole world pillar. It looked like the wild golden horses fervently ran across it, fighting each other.

In the next second, the world pillar trembled with fear...

BOOM!

The Cathedral shattered, and so did its cross...

Zaya shouted, "You will kill him!"

"I won't." The First replied.

The lightning bolt landed on the husband's body, and then his body began to absorb the first trickster god's divine energy!

This was yet another shocker for the duo, "What's the meaning of this? Does he really have your divine energy?"

Rhest probed.

"That's not the case," The First Trickster God replied, "He has his own divine energy. You thought that he became a trickster because of your disciple... But what she summoned was the god."

"..."

"I needed some time to confirm it, but we are from the same lineage. I was also born on Earth, you know?" The First Trickster clapped his hands, "I thought that my ascension was due to hard work, but I was born as the trickster god. Pretty lame, but that allowed me to learn about another rule - the gods are determined from the get-go. This makes me... so fucking... annoyed... I want to break this universe and its rules further..."

The First Trickster God's words scared Rhest as he knew that this man had already done too much shit in this universe!

And now he had another reason to destroy it more!

Zaya shook her head and turned her eyes to the husband.

But another shocking event happened...

"How greedy," The First Trickster God's mask cracked.

It cracked so much that it utterly shattered and revealed his face...

Now, both Zaya and Rhest had no doubts...

Kyoya and The First were from the same family tree.

"Is it bloodline? Or the husband has been chosen by the universe?" The Trickster God already lost his treasure which was that mask.

It was solely because the husband ascended.

He questioned, but there was no answer to this question.

"I will kill that god-slayer, and we will return. I want more chaos," The First said and disappeared.

At the same time, the husband also disappeared.

His speed reached the new boundary after the ascension, and he killed Mina in one blow!
