Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam

Chapter 580 18: Thus Spoke the Goddess

The liquid gold continuously bubbles, and since falling into the Golden Pool, the King of Gold has vanished without a trace.Nose bridge broken.

The King of Gold can no longer remember how long it's been since he last felt pain. Yet, more perplexing than the injury from the direct hit was Ethan's method that hit him.

He heard the roaring emergence of lightning elements, and immediately activated his powers. Logically, this should have been just another attack dodged with ease like before, but this time, the powers of space-time did not keep him from harm.

This is some type of magic unknown to him, something even Merlin could never accomplish in his lifetime.

The powers of space-time stem from the Goddess; logically, under her protection, nothing in this world should be able to harm them!

"You—you actually hit him! Phew—!"

Cynthia's eyes widened in disbelief; she gasped deeply.

She had waited so long for this moment, almost believing it would never happen. She was still immersed in shock as the King of Gold fell into the Golden Pool.

For the first time, she felt that perhaps "deities" were not so far away. Although the King of Gold and other guild leaders never claimed to be deities, to the beings of their ruled dimension, they were akin to divine existences. Every word they uttered was deemed destiny, no matter the struggle or weeping, fated trajectories could not be changed.

And now, that lofty ruler controlling everything has been toppled from the throne.

The tides have turned; they stood at a height overlooking the Golden Pool.

After a brief silence, disturbances rose again from the Golden Pool underneath, even more tremendous energies once more filled the entire space, as a massive form formed from liquid gold and energy surged from the Golden Pool.

"So that's what Yoda meant."rating wound was clearly visible, blasted open by lightning.

Liquid gold gushed like blood, and that massive body lost its energy supply, plunging into the Golden Pool once more.

Undoubtedly, the Goddess's power had activated.

Time had jumped; the Golden Giant's body slipped into the void, yet why did Ethan's magic work once more?

Could it be...

Has Ethan already deciphered the Goddess's blessing?

Yet he clearly mentioned the King of Gold is a "mechanism freak," and the Goddess's blessing essentially granted the King of Gold an invincible damage immunity mechanism.

"The principle's simple, the void state is a visual effect created by him temporarily hiding in a different time."

Ethan explained his idea.

This also explains why no attack is effective, as when powers are activated, the plane they're on becomes misaligned with that of the attackers, magic seeming to pass through him merely strikes air.

"You mean you have a similar ability, hence can let attacks enter his alternate 'time'?"

"No, I don't possess powers as strong as theirs."

Ethan shook his head, he isn't some marine biologist always wearing a hat, unable to just cheekily steal others' powers in a confrontation by simply asserting "'looks like this is similar to my ability type'."
