Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

"I guess you still don't understand the gravity of the situation you are in," Curtis said while looking at Elliot.

Elliot, on the other hand, yawned, telling him with his carefree attitude that he is nothing in his eyes.

Before Curtis could open his mouth to say anything, Elliot said, "Are you done barking?"

"Y-You bastard! I will teach you a lesson!" Curtis said out loud in anger, motioning the men in black to move in and beat the hell out of him.

Following his instructions, the men in black stepped towards Elliot. Their weapons produced a malevolent glimmer that reflected their aim, wanting to severely harm and permanently cripple Elliot to teach him a lesson.

<-50 units of the essence of life>

<Remaining essence of life: 1430 units>

Just as they were about to close upon him, huge waves of golden energy surged out of Elliot, moving so fast that magicians in the channel opening realms and the magical realms have no way of keeping up to them.

The waves of golden energy moved so fast that the man in black couldn't dodge it, and the waves crashed on their bodies, shattering their bones and hurling them away from him.

Just as they were trying to stand up, trying to get back on their feet, a calm voice sounded in their ears.

"You guys better not move from your place, or else don't blame me for cutting your life short," Elliot said with a straight face as his eyes swept across the fools that dared to attack him.

Looking into his ruthless eyes that showed no mercy when he said those words, the men in black shivered uncontrollably, feeling as though they are mere prey who had caught the eye of the hunter, and just thinking about it made their legs tremble and booty shake subconsciously.

"Che, these bastards! Stand up on your feet or I will kill you all with my own hands!" Curtis said, looking annoyed by the way his followers were behaving.

The men in black stood up against their will, shaling uncontrollably.

"You ruined my fun. Are you ready?" Elliot said in a calm voice, stepping towards Curtis and his loyal dogs, showing everyone that he can move although affected by Curtis's superpower!

The eyes of Curtis and his loyal dogs opened wide in surprise and shock as they felt amazed to see that he was able to move although he was under the influence of Curtis's superpower and wondered how he's able to do so.

"Ready for what?" Curtis asked curiously.

"To die!" Elliot said those terrifying words with an amiable smile, acting as if he could send them to the netherworld whenever he desires.

"Haha!" Curtis's pupil changed into thin slits, and his eyes glowed red as he said laughed at the top of his lungs, acting almost as if he had heard the greatest joke in his life.

Lisa's eyes widened when she saw the change in his eyes, and she blurted out in shock, "Serpent-like red eyes… Y-You're a member of the serpent devils!!"

The serpent devils were the worst terrorist in Xavier, infamous for their ruthless acts and engagement in human trafficking, sex slave trading, massacre, torture, theft, weird demonic rituals in which they gut thousands of humans, and a lot of other evil acts that shock righteous persons to their roots and destroy the innocence of civilians just be hearing about it.

"Hehe, looks like our reputation precedes us. Since you know about us, you understand the adverse situation you're in right now, don't you?"

Curtis said while laughing eerily, expressing his joy at being recognized as a member of the worst terrorist organization in the world.

"No, I don't!" Elliot cut his laughter short by saying three words with a deadpan expression on his face, signifying with his words and actions that he doesn't find anything dangerous with this situation.

As he heard those words, Curtis's eyes bulged and he cried out, "Although I am only at the fifth level of the channel opening stage, honorable appraiser, you are only a magician at the eighth level of the magical realm. And the lady behind you is even weaker than you. I don't know how you are able to fight back and defeat my loyal dogs so easily or how you are able to move under the effect of my superpower but that doesn't matter. After all, we have an advantage of numbers. So, I advise you to give up, watch us kill your woman and play with her corpse, and then come with us quietly. Otherwise, don't blame me for chopping your limbs and crippling you for life. Hahahahahaha!"

While he was laughing at the top of his lungs, Elliot's murderous desires surged to his head, leaving him with a single thought, kill Curtis and all of his loyal dogs, for that was the reason why he garnered their attention in the artifact gallery and lured then to an empty and dark alley.

First, let's deal with his superpower and uplift the curse of suppression, Elliot thought in his mind, intent on getting rid of the curse of suppression that decreased his strength.

He immediately utilized the power he has never used before, activating Super God Mode to double his physical strength, speed, and stamina!

<Your Strength has temporarily increased to 40 points>

<Your Stamina has temporarily increased to 38 points>

<Your Speed has temporarily increased to 46 points>

<Your body has exceeded the limits of a magician in the Channel Opening evolutionary stage>

<You're now as powerful as a magician in the early stages of the magic grandmaster stage!>

<The curse of suppression has been uplifted. It can no longer affect you>

"For a street thug, you sure talk a lot," Elliot said, attracting Curtis's attention to himself.

"What can you do about it, huh?" Curtis said in an arrogant voice, steeping towards Elliott, ready to beat some senses into him.

"Oh, you will see." Elliot showed him a wide smile before pressing his feet against the ground, squatting down a little, and suddenly arching forward, blasting himself towards Curtis with an incredible speed.
