Chapter 84: Mortal Against the Divine

---

The Battle Begins

A golden aura erupted as the Celestial Envoy, clad in divine robes, descended onto the battlefield. His presence alone made the air tremble.

Lucian smirked, his Villain System activating.

[Mission: Defeat the Celestial Assassin.]

[Reward: Divine Authority Fragment.]

The envoy raised his hand, and a celestial spear materialized. "You are unworthy of ascension."

Lucian's eyes gleamed as he summoned a dark and holy blade—a fusion of his demonic and divine powers.

"Let's test that."

Clash of Powers

The envoy vanished—reappearing behind Lucian.

A golden spear thrust forward.

Lucian barely dodged, countering with a Heaven-Demon Slash, splitting the land beneath them.

The impact sent shockwaves across the continent.

The immortals watching trembled.

"He's fighting a Celestial? As an immortal? Impossible!"

But Lucian wasn't just an immortal.

He was a villain. A survivor. A ruler.

And he would never fall.
