Chapter 75: Devil Attendant Amon
Ian’s eyes widened after reading the last line.
"Ten thousand times?" he whispered to himself. His voice trembled, not from fear, but from excitement. That number was far beyond anything he had ever imagined. Even the strongest enemies he had faced didn’t have a power-up like this.
He looked at his hand. Energy moved across his skin like soft blue fire, calm but powerful. He slowly raised his hand, and with just a thought, the sky above him split open. Clouds scattered. The wind howled. A strange pressure filled the air.
He quickly closed his fist again. "I have to be careful... I could destroy this planet by accident."
Even though he had this power, Ian didn’t feel arrogant. He knew this kind of strength could attract attention, dangerous attention.
"Someone must’ve noticed already," he said. "Gods, devils, watchers... they’re probably watching me now."
He wasn’t wrong.
Far across the stars, in the upper levels of the God Realm, a pair of golden eyes opened. They belonged to an old being dressed in silver robes, sitting in front of a glowing orb, who had light blue skin similar to the Grand Devil.
"This one... He is different," the old devil whispered. "He must be tested."
Back on the planet, Ian flew up into the sky. His body passed through the clouds in a blur. He stopped once he reached space. The stars stretched out in all directions. It was quiet, cold, and empty. Yet Ian felt alive, free.
"This is where I belong now. Not on the ground... but up here."
