Chapter 478 - Desperation
Rudra was backed into a corner in his fight against the sin of pride , although pride had not yet attacked Rudra physically , the psychological damage he gave Rudra by stopping his best move by one single finger was immense.
If the solar beam couldn't pack a punch , Rudra had no other attack in his arsenal that came even remotely close to mimicking the strength of solar beam .
Rudra had only one single thing he could rely on which was the mysterious box of power he had from Micheal. The box's description said that it has 3 random moves inside of it , that could be used one at a time .
The problem with the mystery box was that the moves could be anything from Micheal's basic fireball to his grand moves.
However seeing no other option even remotely feasible , Rudra knew at that very moment that he had to turn into a maniac and bluff his way through this situation .
As Rudra started to laugh hysterically infront of pride
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "
He banged his hand on his thighs , as he held his stomach with the other one laughing hard ... Perplexing pride.
Rudra wiped a fake tear off his eye and said " Good good good , you can take my opener well , it's been a longgg time since someone stopped my attack with such ease ".
Pride was strong ... One of the strongest sins out there , yet even if it was easy for him to stop Rudra's solar beam , internally he did realize how impressive it was for a tier 3 weakling to produce such a brilliant move. However Rudra now claiming for it to be his opener completely threw pride off balance as he asked " Don't con me human , do you really have a stronger move than this in your arsenal? ".
Rudra said nothing as he used the mystery box's power , bursting forward Micheal's first random move.
Rudra was covered in holy light as he levitated into the air , the entire town disgusted by the influx of holy mana , as the demon's bared their fangs against the human with the repulsive aura . However they did not approach knowing pride stood there.
As if being possessed by Micheal for a breif moment , Rudra spoke in a voice unlike his own
" The light that illuminates the world and pierces the dark like a polished spear.
Hear me and heed my call , come forth and destroy this creature of darkness . HOLY LANCE ".
As a gaint Lance made of holy light manifested itself in Rudra's hands and shot towards pride standing below him.
The moment the spear went out from Rudra's hand the holy aura surrounding him vanished as he fell back to the ground. However before his feet could even hit the floor , he was even more shocked by the sight of a bleeding sin of pride as a visible wound dripping with blood could be seen beneath his armour.
Pride had taken a 10% damage hit , from this spell! , Thorough shock and disbelief appearing on his face as he could not comprehend how a weak tier 3 mortal could actually manage to injure him. The entire ordeal greatly hurting his massively inflated pride , as he looked at Rudra with disgust now and said " Good good , now that's a real fight .... One move ! , I give you one more move , if you get my overall damage to over 20% , it's ur win , or else I kill you ".
It all depended on what came out of the mystery box. Rudra's very life and death was a gamble at this point , but he could do nothing about it.
Praying for his survival , he activated the second move ....

(Meanwhile in deep hell )
Lucifer stood up from his throne when he felt Micheal's power soo close to his home. However re-adjusting the location , it was the place where Aman was currently meditating.
Hell was a isolated world and entering into hell for anyone tier 4 and above without Lucifer noticing was impossible . Hence feeling such strong power from Micheal soo close to home , Lucifer was rather shocked.
Assuming it to be Aman awakening some of his bloodline powers , Lucifer paced around his palace trying to think about the origin of this power burst.
Just when he was about to wave it off , As something Aman did as he breaked through or something , there was a second burst of power much more terrifying than the first one observed by Lucifer. Who got literal chills as he knew the mana signature of that move....
Leaving his palace , Lucifer rushed to gather his bravest.... To him it seemed like Micheal had came to hell!
Laughing sinisterly , he thought about the sheer stupidity of Micheal to barge into his Domain . Although Micheal was the strongest angel , inside Lucifer's domain , with infinite backup for lucifer in terms of troop and infrastructure support , there was no doubt that even Micheal would fall.
And the devil was not someone who would let this chance slip by him....

( Meanwhile in the real world )
Cuber officials rushed to the houses of the players who had experienced awakening , as their vr Pods filled with black tar had to be instantly taken away as toxic waste and replaced.
The cuber officials had to wear gas masks as to not choke on the repulsive smell in the players rooms as the players themselves looked even more uncomfortable.
However overall everyone took the news about cultivation differently. While some were confused , some were excited while some just did not want to keep it a secret.
However blackmailed and threatened to be banned from the game without it , the players were forced to sign NDA contracts both in real world and inside Omega to stop getting lethal sanctions.
In the end, the cuber officials were even kind enough to give all 5 a basic meditation technique and a replacement pod which looked like a mummy tomb to play in the game again.
