Lucien felt it. With the two combined cores, his divine core mended faster than the Monster Lords' attacks.
Now… every attempt to break his core failed.
Lucien grinned.
He used the moment to attune himself to the energy from the second fragment in his hands.
His eyes snapped open and a grin broke across his face.
He sat cross-legged in one corner then harnessed its power.
In that instant, his figure shifted. He became one with nature and blended into the environment itself.
Finally… he decided it was time.
He stored the fragment inside his divine energy core.
Then, he observed what was happening inside.
The moment his vision seeped into his inner world…
The air convulsed with crushing intent.
The combined aura of the three Monster Lords rolled over the horizon like an ocean trying to drown everything. The skies dimmed. The earth cracked. And for a heartbeat, it felt as though his world would collapse.
But it didn't.
