’An awakener...’
’Although I did hear that some people awakened before the apocalypse, I never thought I’d encounter an awakener so soon.’
’Interesting~’
Sizing up the person in front of him, Ethan felt a faint flow of energy circulating through Marcus’s body thanks to his mana circle.
"Marcus was it, so what’s your answer?"
"How do you want to die?" said Ethan as a calm smile remained on his lips.
However, different from his calm demeanour, Marcus, although surprised by Ethan’s and Elena’s entrance, was filled with more anger than confusion.
"If it isn’t the super genius siblings Ethan Smith and Elena Smith, you know I was starting to wonder where you were when I entered this hall."
"Although I mainly came here to rid this world of these cancerous individuals, I also have special plans for you two."
Spreading his arms wide, he motioned for his men to lower their guns as he turned to face Ethan directly.
"Ethan Smith, a world-renowned managerial talent who has built several companies around the world from the ground up, single-handedly increasing the Smiths’ net worth by a large percentage."
"And Elena Smith, the greatest martial artist of our generation, whose skills are said to surpass even the greats of the past."
"Indeed, the heavens are not just and tend to favour others."
"However, in that same right, while you both are favoured by the heavens, I am the direct apostle of the heavens."
Curling his lips wide, Marcus’s eyes flashed with fanaticism as his breath became heavier.
"You see, I and I alone have been granted the power to surpass the ordinary by God."
"Beyond mortal limits, I have been given the divine mission to lead the world onto the right path."
"Now, both of you, will you join hands with me and help me fulfil destiny?"
"Ethan, with you by my side, we can organise the church better and expand our forces faster."
"And Elena, with you as my bride, the both of us will cleanse this filthy world!"
"Join me as we create the church of judgment and lead the world into a new era!!"
As he said these words, his breathing became harder and harder.
Unknowingly, he began to imagine the whole world at his feet, Ethan leading the way behind the scenes and Elena laying down his path.
With this newfound strength of his, perhaps ruling the world was his destiny!
"Ughh Damn Brother, who is this weirdo, and hasn’t he been spewing nonsense for a while now?"
"If you don’t do something, then I’ll deal with him myself."
Pretending to vomit, Elena couldn’t help but seriously wonder if there was something wrong with Marcus’s head.
However, Ethan, hearing the words ’Church of Judgement’, was completely stunned.
’Church of Judgement! How is that possible! Wasn’t that the name of that crazy organisation in the apocalypse who consisted of humans worse than monsters?’
’Those guys believed that anyone who wasn’t part of them was to be cleansed, and because of that they launched all kinds of massacres among humans and monsters alike.’
’Also, wasn’t their leader an A-class villain? What was his name, the judgment calamity?’
’Rumours had it that he loved to tear apart his opponents with his bare hands and bathe in their blood.’
’Is this blond kid that lunatic?’
Looking at Marcus closely, Ethan was more and more glad he encountered him now than later.
Even though he wasn’t sure what had changed and why the future leader of the Church of Judgment and A-rank villain had attacked his grandpa’s birthday party.
Since he was here, Ethan knew he absolutely had to keep him here; otherwise, in the future, the Smith family might suffer under the Church of Judgment.
"Hey Marcus, first off, you aren’t any divine child; in fact, you aren’t even that special."
"Although I don’t know what ability you got, you aren’t the only one."
"The game panel, sudden ability? You’re just an awakener, so don’t let it get to your head."
Once again, gathering his mana in his fists, Ethan began to start walking forward.
His aura making the surrounding gunmen, and even Marcus, begin to hesitate.
"Hey, you stay back! I am the chosen son of God!"
"Although I acknowledge your talent, if you force my hand, I will have no choice but to eliminate you!" he said, his eyes glaring at Ethan.
Unfortunately, Ethan at this moment couldn’t care less about his threats.
Rather, apart from eliminating Marcus, a few other thoughts began to cross his mind.
’Max level comprehension...’
’Although I don’t know what Marcus’s ability is, judging from the cracks on the ground, it definitely has something to do with physical enhancement.’
’Could I use this ability of mine to understand the process behind this ability and incorporate it into my mage power system?’
Yes, ever since the success of condensing mana in his fists, Ethan had begun to wonder just how far he could go.
Perhaps with this ability of his, he could be like the mage in the novels who cast all kinds of elemental spells, buffs, debuffs, healing, everything.
Unlike regular awakeners who only had one ability, those who practised his power system would be all-rounders!
’Also, if it succeeds, with the ten-thousand-times feedback, just how strong will I be hahah!’
Laughing inwardly, Ethan decided to try it.
However, to do that, he first needed to make Marcus use his abilities.
"Hey Marcus, I don’t think you understand when I said you’re not special, but then again it doesn’t matter as I’ll be showing you what I mean in a few seconds."
"However, before that, I have one question."
"What kind of church people wear black masks and carry guns!"
"Wha-!"
Not giving him a chance to reply, Ethan appeared directly in front of him, delivering a punch to his right cheek.
BOOM!
"Never mind, don’t bother answering that; I don’t care."
"Also, that punch was for trying to hit on my sister!"
Saying this, Ethan turned to look at the gunmen around him as if to say Who’s next.
