Chapter 89: A Warning from the Abyss

Lucian's Overwhelming Might

The ten Heavenly Punishers trembled. Lucian Valcrest, a mere 'mortal,' had blocked divine judgment itself.

His body radiated a strange fusion—half celestial, half abyssal—as if he stood between the laws of gods and devils.

The leading Punisher, Celestial Warden Argoth, spoke grimly.

"This power… is beyond mortal comprehension."

Lucian smirked. "Then comprehend this—your gods fear me."

With a single wave of his hand, the battlefield twisted, forcing divine laws to bend.

The Ancestor's Voice

At that moment, across the Upper Realm, a voice older than time itself echoed.

"Do not overstep, Celestials. The Valcrest have been patient. Do not make us act."

The sky darkened.

In the depths of Valcrest's forbidden land, a golden eye opened after a million years of slumber.
