Chapter 609: Do you think you have a choice?
With Cedric now an Ultimate Lord, he was finally free of all restraints.
Of course, such freedom came at a price.
But Cedric didn’t care.
Behind him, the case on his back began to tremble violently, as if it could no longer be contained. It seemed ready to burst open at any moment.
Yet Cedric didn’t rush to draw the sword inside.
There was something else he needed to do first.
His talent needed to awaken one more time.
—
Boom—
Before humanity could make their next move, a dark, malevolent will surged out from the depths of the Supreme Abyssal, accompanied by an overwhelming wave of demon energy.
“Retreat now!”
Mike growled, ordering White Dog and Cerberus to take Calderon and the others away.
Their part in this was done.
If possible, Mike would have liked them to stay and witness what was about to happen. At least then, they could say they had seen history in the making.
But the reality was unforgiving.
The moment the Supreme Demon God made his move, everything in the vicinity would be affected.
Anyone without the strength of an Ultimate Lord would be courting death by staying.
In the end, only Mike and Maxen remained, silently watching the scene unfold.
—
The Supreme Demon God’s sudden movement was expected.
Though he was an idiot, he always made the smartest choice at every critical moment.
And right now, the smartest choice was to kill Ares.
So, he came.
—
Ares flicked his finger, sending a streak of sword energy flying.
As it traveled, the sword energy grew more terrifying, eventually slamming into the Supreme Demon God with a series of deafening explosions.
“Can’t you see I’m talking to my friends?”
Ares glanced at the dark will and cursed,
“Get lost.”
When Ares would die was not for the Supreme Demon God to decide.

Watching this display of dominance, Mike fell silent.
Ares had come to this battle fully prepared to die.
This meant that before arriving, Ares had adjusted his combat power to its absolute peak.
Every casual sword strike from Ares now could kill any Ultimate Lord from any race.
It was no wonder Mike felt a chill run down his spine after witnessing it.
Maxen wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.
“Don’t panic. It’s not a big deal.”
But then, worry crept into his expression.
Second Godfather was so strong—could Cedric really pull this off?
For a moment, Maxen found himself hoping the Supreme Demon God would put up a good fight and at least injure his Second Godfather a little…
Mike, standing nearby, seemed to read Maxen’s thoughts.
What the hell was this guy thinking?
—
The sword energy Ares had unleashed only managed to stall the Supreme Demon God for a moment.
Ares followed up with another casual strike.
One sword after another, Ares kept the Supreme Demon God at bay, preventing him from advancing even a single step.
—
Meanwhile, Cedric’s body emitted a series of explosive sounds.
[SS-level talent [Divine Endowment] has awakened for the fifth time!]
Mike froze at the notification.
Cedric could awaken an SS-level talent five times?!
No wonder he was among the most elite of the powerful.
From the river of history, Mike had learned that the Supreme Demon God had once chosen a human to bear the Supreme Mark.
That person was Nathan.
But Cedric had also been a candidate.
This alone spoke volumes about Cedric’s potential.
With his talent fully awakened, Cedric had never felt so powerful.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his eyes.
For a brief moment, his eyes flashed with light before dimming again.
But Cedric wasn’t done yet.
“Heavenly blood.”
Blood began to seep from Cedric’s limbs.
Each drop carried terrifying power, enough to kill an ordinary Nine-Star Lord.
Now that he was an Ultimate Lord, Cedric’s strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
His talent-enhanced body was naturally far stronger as well.
Pale-faced and emotionless, Cedric continued,
“Invincible heart.”
His pupils contracted slightly, and his heart seemed to spasm for a moment.
Then, Cedric placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Without hesitation, he drew it.
A blinding white sword light burst forth from the case, carrying an unimaginably terrifying power.
The heavens dimmed, the earth lost its color, and the mountains and rivers seemed to tremble in fear.
The target of this sword was none other than… Ares!
—
No one could have predicted this.
The sword Cedric had nurtured for so many years wasn’t aimed at the Supreme Demon God—it was aimed at Ares!
—
Ever since Nathan’s death, Cedric had been pondering a single question:
If the battle between humanity’s Supreme Beings and the Supreme Demon God was destined to end in death, what could he do?
From that day on, Cedric began nurturing his sword.
At first, he didn’t know why he was doing it. He just felt that if he did nothing, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
Even after Ares appeared, Cedric still didn’t know what this sword was for.
So, he kept nurturing it.
It wasn’t until Ares created the final Fate’s Reversal and returned alive from the Supreme Demon God’s grasp that Cedric finally understood.
He knew what this sword was meant to do.
Cedric unleashed the strongest sword of his life.
A faint smirk appeared on his lips as he sneered,
“This sword will shake the heavens and the earth!”
To this day, Mike didn’t know the full extent of this sword’s power.
To be precise, the one who unleashed this sword wasn’t Cedric alone.
It was the culmination of several hundred years of planning, countless efforts, and unimaginable sacrifices.
And in the end, it succeeded.
They had achieved the impossible.
They had truly succeeded.
—
Of course, part of the reason for their success was that Ares didn’t resist.
If Ares hadn’t cooperated, no matter how well-prepared Cedric was, this sword wouldn’t have landed.
—
But Cedric’s sword was worth it.
Before the sword struck, Ares even nodded slightly and remarked,
“Good sword.”
—
The bad news:
Ares… all his injuries erupted at once, causing his aura to plummet. He was now gravely wounded and on the brink of death!
With Fate’s Reversal forcibly interrupted, the backlash was unimaginably severe.
Ares’s level began to drop rapidly.
And with a powerful enemy nearby, watching and waiting for the right moment to strike, the situation was dire.
At that moment, Mike and Maxen sprang into action.
One went to save Cedric, the other to save Ares.
Of course, Cedric didn’t need much saving.
Even though he was heavily injured and half-crippled from the backlash, the Supreme Demon God had never considered him a threat.
The Supreme Demon God’s true target was Ares!
Just as the overwhelming demon energy was about to reach Ares, a bolt of lightning appeared.
“Get lost!”
Wielding the Thunderclap Hammer, Mike stood in front of Ares and shattered the demon energy.
A flail followed, colliding with the demon energy before being sent flying back.
After just one exchange with the Supreme Demon God, Maxen was covered in blood, gravely injured.
But Mike remained unscathed.
As Mike blocked the attack, the heavily injured Ares opened his eyes.
It had been a long time since he had felt this weak.
Weakness wasn’t frightening.
What Ares felt now was rage.
He growled,
“Give me my sword!”
As long as he held his sword, Ares could still fight!
But Mike didn’t respond.
He simply looked at Ares as a beam of white light descended upon him.
“What is this?”
Ares quickly realized what was happening.
“Apollo, I’m not going to the Heavenly Realm!”
The white light ignored Ares’s protests and continued to pull him away from this world.
For someone as proud as Ares, this was unbearable.
In his current state, even speaking was a miracle, let alone resisting.
—
“Thor! My godfather isn’t dead!”
Maxen shouted excitedly, only to watch in disbelief as his godfather… ascended?
Ares, who hadn’t even reached level 1000, was now being forcibly sent to the Heavenly Realm.
There was only one being capable of such a feat—Apollo.
Apollo had opened the ascension passage, forcing Ares to ascend!
—
From the other side of the passage, Ares’s voice echoed,
“Bastard! Don’t you dare die!”
It was clear the insult was directed at the Supreme Demon God.
“I’ll kill you one day!”
Even in his weakened state, with most of his combat power gone, Ares still exuded the aura of a Supreme Being.
In the Heavenly Realm, Ares would start over, retracing the path to becoming a Supreme Being.
It might be difficult. It might take a long time.
But that didn’t matter.
When Ares returned, he would still be humanity’s Supreme Being.
And when the Broken Sword reappeared, he would still aim to slash the Supreme Demon God!
This was Ares, humanity’s Supreme Being.
A swordsman who refused to yield.
When he said he would kill the Supreme Demon God, he meant it.
As the ascension passage closed, Ares’s final words echoed:
“Son… remember… train hard…”
Maxen: …
His Second Godfather was truly responsible.
Even while ascending, he managed to curse the Supreme Demon God and remind Maxen to train harder.
Maxen shivered, carrying Cedric on his shoulder.
If his strength didn’t improve by the time his Second Godfather returned…
“Thor, you’ve got use those eyes of yours to teach me how to become stronger!”
Maxen turned to speak, only to realize there was no response.
He looked around and saw… nothing.
“Thor? Where’s Thor?!”
—
Second Abyss.
The Second Demon God was still lying on the ground.
Shadow Three, having completed his task, was observing the commotion in the Supreme Abyssal.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared beside them.
The man spoke casually,
“It’s time to go.”
The Second Demon God seemed to realize what was happening and tried to back out.
“I’m not going! ”
The Heavenly Realm was nothing like they had imagined.
Without the Source of the Heavenly Realm, it was no longer a paradise for the powerful.
At least, not anymore.
For humanity, sending Ares to the Heavenly Realm was a victory.
But for the demon gods?
The truth was clear: the Heavenly Realm was no longer a good place to be.
Apollo stood silently, watching the Second Demon God.
After a long pause, he asked,
“Do you think you have a choice?”
