Apotheosis

Long ago, Mastema had tried to swallow Clarence.

The attempt wasn't just undertaken once. He tried to swallow Clarence in the eleventh, ninth, and eighth grade worlds but failed every single time.

However, Clarence had just given his abilities to a human, which proved to be the greatest opportunity that had ever come for Mastema.

He was not afraid of Clarence but being chased by him irritated him. Swallowing this troublesome guy's abilities would solve everything once and for all.

Before Zen could prepare for the next round of counterattack, he found his body pierced through by leeches.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

The leeches were literally sucking away the ancestry-level bloodline in his body.

"Zen, leave him!"

the ancestry-level bloodline told him.

It had previously resisted splitting itself before it awakened so there was no way it was going to let the downgrader do the same thing.

"Okay!"

Zen replied, immediately moving away from where he once stood using his omnipotent power.

This teleportation method had a very high priority in the primitive land. It was so fast that it did not even cause any space fluctuations.

Swoosh!

In just the blink of an eye, Zen found himself already on the other side of the Burial Land.

"Move away..."

Astonishment was evident on Zen's face.

He had just moved tens of millions of miles but the downgrader was able to keep up with him. No leech dislodged itself from his body while the downgrader remained at his heels, keeping a certain distance.

"Well..."

Zen gritted his teeth and once again used his omnipotent power but the results remained the same. Wherever he went, the downgrader followed.

"Resistance is futile,"

the downgrader told him with a maniacal laugh as the leeches continued to absorb Zen's ancestry-level bloodline.

No matter where Zen went, he immediately followed so much so that it almost seemed as if the two of them had become one. The Extreme Form energy exerted by his constant movements practically covered the entirety of the Burial Land.

Buzz!

Zen was not convinced and moved eight more times.

The result was always the same and Zen soon realized that there was no way he was going to get rid of the downgrader.

"I'll cut you off!"

Zen shouted i

uickly threw everyone in deep despair.

There was no way Zen would've allowed the downgrader to enter the fairy palace unless he was dead. Thus, there was only one reason why the downgrader was here.

"Where is my father?"

Geoffrey asked through gritted teeth.

"He's dead. Your father has been absorbed by me. He is now a part of my own body," the downgrader replied.

"You... You're lying!"

Geoffrey screamed as he ran to the downgrader at breakneck speed and threw a punch to his face.

The force from Geoffrey's punch had the ability to reach tens of millions of miles. However, despite his strength, the downgrader remained unmoved and unbothered.

But Geoffrey did not care.

He was angry and he had to vent his anger so he continued to throw dozens of punches towards the intruder.

Nobody dared stop him. Nobody, not even Rocher, Yan, the Snake Goddess, Fuxi, or Lorena, made a move.

Their combined strength could not be compared to that of the downgrader. There was no need to fight a lost battle.

In the middle of the fight, the downgrader finally made his move and caught Geoffrey's fist. With a slight twitch of his wrist, he was able to sever the young man's arm from his body. "I felt nothing. Your punches couldn't even tickle me. You're poorly weak."

As he ridiculed Geoffrey, fist-sized marks of the darkest black began to appear over the surface of the downgrader's body.

These ink marks expanded and created cracks upon the downgrader's skin, signaling his body's collapse!
