From the moment Kly'bn appeared, Lucas had been observing him closely.
That mysterious attack of his—if Lucas couldn't figure it out logically, then there was only one option left.
He would experience it with his own body.
Only then could he truly understand the real power behind that punch.
Buzz—
The overwhelming attack crashed down onto Lucas.
Instantly, an indescribable sensation enveloped him.
If it had to be compared to something—
It was like being thrown into a deep ocean trench, where endless darkness and a bottomless abyss tried to swallow your consciousness whole.
But Lucas was no ordinary person.
He had practiced meditation since childhood.
After only a brief moment of disorientation, he regained his clarity.
From that brief experience, a possibility quickly formed in his mind.
"My ki can't interfere with or defend against his attack… but my mind can resist it."
"If that's the case, then there's only one explanation!"
Lucas immediately stopped channeling his ki.
Instead, he mobilized all of his mental power at maximum speed.
"Well, well," Kly'bn said coldly.
"You managed to endure my attack."
"Then let me see how many times you can withstand it!"
As his voice fell, Kly'bn pushed both palms forward.
Immediately, within Lucas's vision, the massive shadow of the incoming attack covered the entire field of sight.
This strike was even more terrifying than the previous ones.
Yet Lucas remained calm.
He had already figured out how to deal with this strange attack.
Sure enough—
When Kly'bn's attack struck him again, the mental energy wrapped around Lucas's body immediately took effect.
His spiritual power collided with the incoming force.
Then something strange happened.
The two forces neutralized and dissolved each other.
Seeing this, Kly'bn stopped attacking.
He stared at Lucas in confusion.
"That's impossible."
"You shouldn't be able to walk this path."
Lucas didn't understand what he meant.
But suddenly, a consciousness came from the Red Lantern Ring, where the blood Butcher resided.
[Lucas, he means that the mental energy you used just now carries a property unique to gods.]
"What?" Lucas was stunned.
His mental power carried divine attributes?
That made no sense.
In Lucas's understanding, divine power should only appear once he became a Super Saiyan God.
And the blood Butcher had specifically said a property unique to gods.
That strange phrasing left Lucas completely puzzled.
But before he could think further, Kly'bn attacked again.
This time, instead of striking from a distance, he appeared in front of Lucas using something similar to spatial teleportation.
A suffocating pressure instantly descended upon Lucas.
The surrounding space seemed to freeze.
Lucas saw the space around him ripple violently.
Then—
Countless enormous arms stretched out from the distorted space.
Each hand held a strange glowing weapon.
All of them swung toward Lucas simultaneously.
Lucas roared.
At that moment, he fused his raging ki with his spiritual power.
Then he gathered everything into his right fist, infused it with his immense fighting spirit, and punched straight at Kly'bn.
This punch contained all of his body, energy, and will.
His fist collided with the countless weapons.
Invisible shockwaves exploded outward.
The surrounding space twisted violently like a stirred whirlpool.
Lucas's punch shattered the incoming weapons one after another.
"So it works!"
Lucas felt a surge of excitement.
With a roar, he continued driving his fist toward Kly'bn.
For the first time, Kly'bn's expression changed.
His previously emotionless face finally showed tension.
His silver eyes suddenly turned into a brilliant emerald green.
At the same time, strange patterns appeared across his pale green skin.
Within seconds, the patterns lit up with glowing green light.
The light spread outward and invaded the surrounding space.
As the space around them twisted more violently, the space in front of Kly'bn warped completely.
Soon—
A pitch-black vortex appeared before Lucas.
It looked like a black hole.
Behind the darkness, it felt as if some colossal beast had opened its jaws, ready to devour him.
When Lucas looked toward the distortion—
In the darkness behind it, a pair of terrifying eyes slowly opened.
In the next moment, Lucas's mind went blank for a split second.
When he regained consciousness, the enormous distortion had already reached him.
Endless darkness wrapped around his body like liquid.
Lucas felt like a lone boat in a stormy sea—
Tossed violently, on the verge of being swallowed at any moment.
But Lucas remained calm.
He unleashed all of his mental power, resisting the mysterious force.
However—
Against the vast, seemingly endless black energy, his mental power was quickly torn apart and devoured.
"Give up."
Kly'bn's voice echoed inside Lucas's mind.
"You may possess the potential to become a god."
"But you cannot even fully control your own mental power."
"You are no match for me."
"I originally thought this battle would be boring."
"But you gave me a small surprise."
"When I devour your divinity, I will become even stronger."
"For that… I should thank you."
"Hahaha!"
Even in such a dire situation, Lucas showed no sign of panic.
"Don't celebrate too early," Lucas suddenly said coldly.
Kly'bn laughed mockingly.
"What? You think you still have the ability to resist?"
At that moment—
Lucas's eyes suddenly glowed silver-white.
The Space Stone appeared on the back of his left hand.
At the same time, the Red Lantern Ring on his right hand burst into blazing crimson light.
The blood Butcher emerged from the ring and fused directly into Lucas's body.
Red and silver light began flashing inside him.
Lucas wrapped the two energies together with his spiritual power.
Then—
The ki within his body suddenly surged wildly.
It was as if some ancient seal had been broken.
His power began to explode upward uncontrollably
