From the other direction, Kairon charged in.
His body swelled as divine power roared, bones cracking as he transformed into a massive white tiger. His pupils burned with fury, killing intent boiling as he unleashed all of his strength.
Kairon gathered divine power into his claws, his figure blurring as he ducked beneath Ethan's spear shadow and lunged straight for Ethan's throat.
"Hmph. Good timing."
Ethan did not even turn his head.
The God-killing Spear transformed into a streak of black lightning and shot forward, striking Axel directly between the eyebrows.
At the same time, the Emperor's Star within Ethan's body surged violently. Star power and divine power intertwined, forming a layer of armor across his skin—dark, heavy, and filled with an ancient, tyrannical aura.
Bang—!
Kairon's claws collided with Ethan's fist.
The impact sounded like two divine weapons crashing together.
A violent shockwave exploded outward, tearing apart the ground beneath them.
