A large physique has many advantages, such as immense strength and astonishing natural defenses. Many attacks are like mere tickles to the massive giant.
Furthermore, the Evil God possesses Titan blood, making the physical strength even more astonishing.
However, a massive physique also comes with some disadvantages. Compared to Ethan, its movements appeared clumsy and sluggish, making it difficult to dodge attacks at close range, though the Evil God had not considered dodging anyway. He did not believe such a small ball of energy could cause him any harm.
Thus, he completely ignored Ethan's attack and immediately followed up with another punch.
Ethan, who had just unleashed a ball of chaotic energy, did not stop to see the result. His ultimate move, which he had been brewing, was only just ready.
The several arcane orbs floating behind him were not merely decorative. Besides allowing Ethan to output a larger amount of magic power in an instant, they could also individually construct a spell.
Including himself, Ethan could simultaneously cast four spells with completely different effects. This was no longer just extremely fast casting speed. It was equivalent to four top-tier mages ganging up on the opponent.
Just as the Evil God swung his second punch, and before the energy ball released by Ethan had even struck him, one of the large-scale attack spells Ethan had prepared was already activated.
In the blink of an eye, the slightly overcast sky became filled with oppressive dark clouds. The thick, gloomy clouds completely obscured the entire sky, not letting any light penetrate.
Everyone had originally been able to see what was happening with the help of the faint starlight, but as Ethan cast this spell, the entire world seemed to plunge into darkness, rendering everything invisible.
This was merely a matter of an instant. The next second, blinding light brewed and erupted from the gloomy clouds. A bolt of lightning, even thicker and more powerful than the one that had previously enraged the Evil God, struck him directly, causing him to stagger. The fist he had swung stopped its assault before it even reached Ethan.
At this very moment, the ball of violent, chaotic energy also slammed into his chin. Because the lightning strike had thrown his body backward, the energy ball, originally aimed at his chest, bypassed it and struck his chin directly.
Although his massive body possessed powerful defenses, it also became an excellent target. Even if he attempted to move, it was difficult for him to evade these attacks.
At this point, more and more flashes of light ignited within the gloomy clouds, and the entire world suddenly became bright again.
These bursts of light carried terrifying power. Bolt after bolt of lightning struck the Evil God's body without pause, the furious bombardment almost causing his entire frame to shrink down.
With his magic gaining the upper hand, Ethan was not prepared to give this Evil God any further opportunities.
Compared to continuously attacking with spell after spell, slowly grinding the enemy down, Ethan preferred an instant kill that finished the enemy in one go.
The remaining two arcane orbs were not idle. Instead, they were working together to construct an even more powerful spell.
Considering that this Evil God possessed Titan blood within its body and emanated a red glow like lava, Ethan abandoned fire-based magic. He felt such spells would not inflict any fatal damage on this fellow.
Especially upon noticing the lava-like blood, Ethan decided to cool this fellow down. He wondered if this guy could still sustain life if his blood froze. However, this move required a relatively long preparation time, and Ethan did not want to give the enemy a chance to react.
Before the thunder had ceased, Ethan attacked again.
Putting away his staff, Ethan spread his arms. The area where Ethan and the Evil God stood instantly transformed, as if mountains and forests had vanished without a trace. Ethan and the Evil God seemed to be suspended in empty cosmic space, surrounded by countless planets of varying sizes.
As Ethan's strength steadily increased, his Galactic Starburst finally displayed its true form. The surrounding planets now looked indistinguishable from real ones.
Simultaneously, the energy contained within was also more stable than before, yet its power was not diminished in the slightest when it erupted.
The power of countless exploding planets continuously bombarded the Evil God's body. Even possessing Titan blood, the Evil God found it somewhat difficult to withstand this furious barrage of attacks.
The enraged Evil God let out a roar, and strange energy erupted from his body, repelling the relentless lightning strikes for a moment.
Seizing the few-second interval, the Evil God unleashed even more terrifying energy and launched an attack toward Ethan.
A turbid beam of energy erupted from its wide-open giant mouth. Although the attack method was simple, crude, and utterly lacking in aesthetic appeal, the power of this energy was terrifying.
The moment the energy erupted, the cosmic space released by Ethan was instantly shattered. The lightning, which had originally been somewhat repelled but had then resumed its assault on the Evil God, was affected by the opponent's power, severely distorted, and all struck the ground next to the Evil God.
The lightning striking the dense forest ignited bursts of fire. The thunder in the sky and the firelight on the ground illuminated the area. At this point, light was no longer an issue hindering the numerous spectators from watching the battle.
"Is this... the end of the world?"
The few young people who had hidden far away early to watch this battle stared blankly at the great battle unfolding in the distance.
Before, they had thought they were a bit too far away and might not be able to see clearly.
Now, however, they were grateful for being far enough away. If they had been too close, they might have become unfortunate victims of accidental death. This was no joke. Within the area of Ethan's battle with the Evil God, there were still quite a few monsters that Ethan had not eliminated, but now, in the midst of the battle between the two, these monsters had all perished in the aftermath of the fight.
As soon as the Evil God's erupted attack was unleashed, many nearby monsters, even those not directly hit by the energy, suddenly collapsed and lost all signs of life.
As for Ethan, who was directly facing this attack, he had absolutely no intention of taking it head-on. His first reaction was to cast teleportation to change his position and evade the attack, but he discovered that the surrounding spatial fluctuations had become very strange, making it impossible to cast the teleportation spell normally.
Forcing the cast was not impossible, but there was no telling where the spatial turbulence might sweep him.
Ethan abandoned the idea of dodging himself, but this did not mean his spatial magic was useless. Same-plane teleportation was unusable, but cross-plane teleportation remained unaffected. Not the kind between different worlds that required breaking the world barrier, but teleportation between different dimensions within the same world was also unaffected.
Ethan happened to be able to cast such a spell.
"Dimensional Space."
Ethan did not need to chant spells to cast, but sometimes vocalizing something could help the caster focus their attention better on a specific spell.
Therefore, Ethan is not being chuunibyou.
The slightly bent index finger raised high transformed into a singularity with terrifying suction, drawing in everything around it, including light. The energy released by the Evil God also had no way to escape this terrifying pull. The energy beam, which was so thick it could fit multiple Ethans, continuously shrank and thinned as it approached Ethan, ultimately becoming a fine line that was sucked into the dimensional space Ethan had opened.
This was not the end. Ethan could send any object or energy into it, and likewise, he could release what he had thrown in.
His right hand, which had been raised high, lowered, and his index finger pointed directly at the Evil God before him.
A terrifying energy beam, almost identical to the previous one, reappeared in this world, but this time the target had become the Evil God himself.
Ethan noticed a hint of terror in the Evil God's massive eyes. Although he had judged that this fellow could not perfectly control this violent power, judging by his expression, the situation might be even better than he had predicted.
As expected, the Evil God had no intention whatsoever of taking back this energy. His immediate reaction was to raise his arms, intending to withstand the attack with his powerful body.
But he absolutely could not have imagined that this attack was merely a feint designed to distract his attention.
The true killing blow had already been prepared.
"Although it is a spell I came up with on the fly, at such a decisive moment, should I call out the name of the move?"
Unfortunately, he could not think of a suitable name on the spur of the moment, and Ethan did not want to warn his enemy by shouting, "Be careful, I am about to unleash a killing blow."
So, this ice-blue spear, which had consumed two arcane orbs and condensed immense magical energy, flew silently toward the Evil God. While his attention was entirely focused on the terrifying energy beam before him, it silently pierced into the Evil God's heart, and then... there was no then.
The moment the frozen spear entered his body, terrifying magical power erupted within him. In that instant, this Evil God was already dead.
Ethan's target for this attack was the Evil God's energy core. After continuous observation during this time, he had confirmed that the lava-like flowing red light on the Evil God's body was his blood, and Ethan was aiming for the heart-like core.
Now, the Evil God's core had become a massive block of ice. After all, he was not a true Titan, and this was sufficient to kill him.
However, the Titan bloodline was indeed formidable, allowing his body to withstand that energy beam head-on. Aside from his arms seemingly shrinking slightly, with hot, lava-like blood continuously flowing from them, no other damage could be seen on his body.
This was the best outcome. The less damage this fellow's body sustained, the greater Ethan's gains would be.
The frozen core was also not truly destroyed. Ethan could completely excavate the core and take it back. He could sense that the energy within it had not completely dissipated due to his attack.
The true cause of this Evil God's death was the severed connection between the core and the body.
Floating in the air, Ethan let out a breath and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"Not bad, did not make a fool of myself..." Looking at the massive corpse still standing tall in the distance, Ethan sighed, "So I am already this strong."
