Chapter 43: Cosmic Convergence
As the clash between Ethan and Erebus reached its crescendo, the intensity of their power was unparalleled. Erebus, driven by his resentment and desire for dominance, found himself unable to comprehend Ethan's movements. Ethan, now transcending the limitations of mortal perception, moved with a swiftness that defied comprehension. He darted through the cosmos, leaving trails of stardust in his wake.
With a playful grin, Ethan taunted Erebus, his voice echoing through the expanse of space. "Having trouble keeping up, Erebus? Maybe you need to upgrade your cosmic GPS!" He weaved effortlessly through the interstellar battlefield, dodging Erebus's desperate attempts to strike back.
Now realising the fruitless of his attacks, He channeled the collective power he had absorbed from his brothers, their strength coursing through his veins like a malevolent force.
Erebus raised his arms, his voice resonating with an otherworldly echo. "Behold, mortals, the culmination of my power! Witness the might of the Abyssal Convergence!" With those words, a swirling vortex of darkness materialized before him, emanating an aura of profound malevolence.
The Abyssal Convergence was a culmination of Erebus's stolen powers, an amalgamation of his brothers' abilities. It was a force that defied comprehension, capable of rending the very fabric of reality itself. Countless shadows and tendrils writhed within the vortex, hungry for destruction.
Ethan's gaze remained unyielding, his expression unfazed by Erebus's display of power. He knew that no matter the magnitude of Erebus's attack, it would prove futile against him. With a confident smile, Ethan taunted, "Is that the best you can muster, Erebus? Your stolen powers amount to nothing before me."
Erebus, a sinister grin curling his lips, chuckled darkly. "You underestimate the might of the Abyssal Convergence, Ethan. Your confidence will be your downfall. Let this be a lesson in the futility of your resistance!"
As Erebus unleashed the Abyssal Convergence, the very essence of darkness and despair surged forth. It reached out like an ethereal maw, seeking to consume everything in its path. However, as the tendrils of darkness approached Ethan, they dissipated, unable to penetrate his invincible aura.
Ethan stood unscathed, his eyes locked on Erebus. "Is that the extent of your power, Erebus? Merely a hollow imitation of your brothers? How disappointing."
Erebus seethed with frustration, his voice dripping with venom. "You don't understand, Ethan. I have absorbed the essence of my brothers, their very life force. They are all but spent, lying broken and nearly lifeless on the island. Their powers are mine, and with them, I will obliterate you!"
Ethan's expression remained unchanged, his confidence unshaken. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the remnants of the Abyssal Convergence. "Your stolen power means nothing to me, Erebus. I am beyond the reach of your petty schemes. Now, it's time for you to face the consequences of your actions."
In a display of sheer power and finesse, Ethan delivered a single punch that sent Erebus hurtling into the depths of another galaxy. As Erebus crashed through the celestial bodies, the force of the impact caused an amalgamation of energy and matter. The very fabric of the cosmos seemed to bend and converge towards Ethan, like a celestial vortex of swirling power.
With a resounding cry, Ethan channeled the unfathomable energy coursing through him, focusing it into a single, cataclysmic blow. "Cosmos Burst!" he roared, his fist connecting with Erebus's form. The resulting explosion was an awe-inspiring spectacle that rippled through galaxies, reverberating across the cosmic tapestry.
The shockwaves of the impact reached far beyond the confines of their universe. In distant realms, worlds quaked and stars trembled as the echoes of their clash reverberated through the dimensions. Even in worlds devoid of life, the sheer magnitude of the event sent shockwaves akin to an earthquake, disturbing the very balance of existence.
As the cataclysmic forces subsided, Ethan found himself standing amidst the remnants of the battle. The energy dissipated, leaving behind a trail of cosmic residue in his wake. The death of Erebus had unleashed an unprecedented surge of power, altering the cosmic landscape forever.
With a satisfied smile, Ethan returned to the massive island, his presence causing ripples of astonishment and reverence among those who had witnessed the cataclysmic display of power. The spectators, both mortal and divine, were left in awe of his godlike abilities.
As the chapter neared its conclusion, Ethan descended gracefully towards the daughter of the Goddess, his eyes filled with an enigmatic blend of determination and curiosity. The spectators, both mortal and divine, held their breath, captivated by the enigmatic connection between Ethan and the daughter.
