Chapter 234: The 9th Lightning Is Strong—But So Is My Punch!

Which earlier, Myrkhal had told him, that all of these dormant abilities were not only belonging to the titan he held.

Rather, it belonged to the titan who had reached the apex in their species. And he held their faces inside him.

So as always, Luke was not using an average Atlas Titan, but he was using Azrion, the being who stood at the apex of the Atlas Titans.

"Now I understand how broken this SSS rank skill is, or Myrkhal himself..." Luke smiled upon this.

And prepared to counter the strike this time...

With his own attack.

Even though this sounded foolish, but let it be.

"Because my titan body is not strong enough to bear the brunt of a full-fledged attack of 1,000 peak Golden Knights." He muttered with annoyance.

As this was true, so his plan was simple. Using overwhelming force to negate all the damage of the lightning strike, or at least the major part.

While his own body would only face the backlash of his punch.

[You are dreaming, Luke.]

Then the system’s words came, which was kinda true. Because for the plan to succeed, his attack had to be equal to 1,000 peak Golden attacks, or close.

Which seemed totally impossible.

"Or is it?" Luke brought his one hand toward his face and started laughing like crazy.

"HAHAHA!"

Because the move he was trying all depended upon Azrion and his new ability.

[ABILITY NAME] Absolute Strength

[ABILITY TYPE] Ultimate Ability

[DURATION] 10 Seconds

[DESCRIPTION]

Upon activation, the user’s physical power is instantly tripled, granting overwhelmingstrength for a short period of time.

[EFFECT] Physical Power ×3

[WARNING] The effect lasts for only 10 seconds.

Yes, because of this.

As earlier he had noticed that even the titan, doesn’t matter pure or not,

he was getting abilities randomly whenever they unlocked.

Like with Bastion, he got a passive one, while for Nyx, his Shadow of Nyx was also his ultimate.

But Authority of Severance was an authority type.

So he lucked out and pulled the Ultimate ability of Azrion, the Atlas Titan.

Meaning, just think about using Cosmic Punch with 3x! How crazy that sounds, and he was going to do that crazy thing because he was trusting the system’s one-line description of Azrion, the Atlas Titan.

*A body created to carry impossible weight. A Titan whose every muscle, bone, and movement exists for one purpose—overwhelming force.*

"Yeah, since none of his other titans could even pull the Cosmic Punch when it got 3x."

"After all the weight of that punch would be insanely heavy, that even mountains would shatter by the weight alone."

RRRRRUUUUMBLE!

KRRRZZZZZT!

As he was thinking this, the sky roared even more heavily, likely declaring that it was ready.

Ready to show everyone what would happen if they used forbidden power.

"I am also ready." Luke said with a mocking smile, and used Form Assimilation to bring the Cosmic Heart Titan’s heart fully.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

The next instant, it started beating more actively and pushed the black void lines, which seemed to have consumed other white lines.

He also generated a cosmic system inside his body with the leftover energy.

"Cosmos Manifestation." Afterward, he raised his left hand and brought the cosmic system outside.

"It’s time." With that he used the gravity of them to float above and bringing himself toward their front, while they were in a lower position.

So now, Luke was facing the dark clouds above, while being in the center position of the Sky and the cosmic system, below.

"Cosmic Lock!" Another word escaped his mouth, followed by planets, moons, asteroids, and comets aligning in a straight line behind him.

Then he used the overwhelming gravity toward the dark clouds’ center, while also using some to hold his body in the sky.

After that, he generated another cosmic system inside his body, before bringing them toward his right hand as a whole.

Yes, he was completely trusting that Azrion would be able to bear all this weight, even for a few seconds.

And it did.

Though Luke didn’t react to this, just looked toward the dark clouds, while slowly bringing his right hand in a punch gesture toward them, and waiting for the right moment.

The moment when the 9th lightning would descend and he would also strike.

Meanwhile, the goddess of light raised her eyebrow in surprise.

Even though right now she could not see clearly what was going on down there, since Luke was her hero—not completely,

unless he survived the awakening ceremony—

she could still get more information about him, compared to other gods and goddesses.

And currently she could feel that Luke was carrying a weight so heavy that it was impossible to lift, unless he was a peak Golden Knight.

"Fate, do you know why I cannot see through him at all?" So she slowly asked the air.

Because when Luke was summoned, she could clearly see everything about him.

And it was fine, even when she placed the golden chains.

But after one day later, Luke got surrounded with colors she had not seen before.

For which she blamed this on the Origin Titan experiment. Or else it would not make any sense.

Without knowing that it was the system which got attached to Luke and was hiding Luke from everyone’s gaze.

So currently she didn’t know anything about the system and the titans residing inside him.

That was why when Elena awakened, she used her fragment as a blessing to get more information about Luke.

But the answer was the same.

’Nothing.’ So this time, she asked the goddess of fate.

"Don’t know." And that was the answer that came.

At this, she lost in thought, while also waiting for Luke’s result.

If he could survive the 9th lightning or not.

---

KRRRZZZZZT!

Thousands of arcs of golden lightning began to surge through the dark clouds.

Luke also increased his focus, because each of those lightning contained peak Golden attack.

And he also activated his Absolute Strength, since he knew that the attack would come the next moment.
