Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye

"This is the kind of thing I should be saying, isn't it?" Finn nearly laughed in anger upon hearing Luca's words.

He waved his hand, and immediately, several red-clad masked figures fixed their hostile gazes on Luca. Their Superclass aura came crashing down, pressing heavily on the surroundings.

Luca's eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly stared at Finn and asked, "Are you really seeking death?"

Kallaman's face turned pale, and she nearly had the impulse to turn and run. Though Luca appeared unremarkable on the outside, to her, the divine power within him felt like seething magma, like a torrent of raging ocean waves—it was terrifying!

Finn was undoubtedly walking straight into his own grave!

"You really are as arrogant as ever!" Finn sneered, still unaware of Kallaman's expression. "To speak to me like that in Dawn City!"

He let out a cold laugh. "But you're lucky to still be alive. It saves me the trouble of sending people into the Divine Ruins to find your corpse."

"Now, hand over the Solar Divine Spear and the Desire Demon Box! I'll give you a quick death."

"Oh? You want the Solar Divine Spear?" Luca's eyes narrowed, a subtle flicker of divine light passing through his gaze.

Finn thought Luca might be preparing to give in, and he laughed even harder. "Good, you know what's good for you. Hand them over quickly. Since I'm in a good mood today, maybe I'll even spare your life."

Luca's lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. "Is that so? Too bad I'm not in a good mood today. If you want the Solar Divine Spear, you'll have to trade your life for it!"

The moment his words fell, golden flames suddenly erupted in Luca's hand.

A divine, otherworldly golden spear slowly took form in his grasp.

The Divine Flame coiled around it, and the aura that emanated from the spear caused everyone present to tremble.

The Solar Divine Spear!

"What's this? Do you really plan to strike at me in the royal palace?" Finn didn't panic at all. In fact, he almost hoped Luca would make a move. At that point, the Ghost Kings around him would have a legitimate reason to kill Luca, and even the King wouldn't be able to say anything!

"You might have missed one thing…" Luca's voice was calm, but golden flames flickered around him, tracing out mysterious runes of divine laws.

His body began to slowly rise into the air, his hair turning a blinding white, while golden divine markings spread rapidly across his form. Luca's aura surged, growing at a speed that left everyone around him dumbfounded.

God's Revelation!

In the roiling Divine Flame, a pair of golden eyes looked down with indifference at the stunned Finn.

Luca calmly said, "If I want to kill you, it doesn't matter where I am."

The moment his words fell.

A blazing, golden Divine Flame shot into the sky!

"Boom!!"

Time seemed to stand still in that instant. Countless people watched in shock as, in the sky above, a massive sun slowly began to rise.

The golden flames burned fiercely upon it, radiating light so bright it outshone the very sun, lighting up all of Dawn City with a dazzling glow!

At the same time, a terrifying, overwhelming pressure descended like a setting sun, crushing down on the entire city, causing the strong to change their expressions in fear.

"A divine level?! It's actually divine level!" Augustine and the others, still in the streets, were all struck with disbelief, unable to believe their eyes.

This was a realm that had only existed in legends, yet it was now alive and tangible, standing right before them!

"This is... the aura of the Lord of the Sun?" Matilda's gaze narrowed. Though shocked, she did not panic.

"It seems he must have received the Solar Legacy from the Divine Ruins." Joanna spoke calmly, her eyes fixed on the sun-like orb, her voice measured as she said, "Looks like we'll need to change our approach."

No matter how Luca had obtained this power or what cost he had paid, at this moment, he possessed a force that could rival the gods themselves. They would need to adjust their attitude toward him and find a gentler approach to get him to cooperate.

After all, no one knew what this divine-powered young man might be capable of.

Meanwhile, within the royal palace.

Lying on a golden divan, his body as frail as a skeleton, Alfred was reviewing documents. But then, the overwhelming divine presence and blinding light from above made his pen stop suddenly.

He slowly lifted his head and looked out the window at the golden sun. A flush of color suddenly spread across his face.

Alfred chuckled to himself.

"I didn't expect... at the last moment... a breakthrough... has arrived..."

Luca's calm voice echoed through all of Dawn City.

"Stop!" Lyon snapped back to his senses, his expression shifting. His body turned into a streak of blood-red light as he rushed toward the princess's chambers.

Inside the princess's palace, everyone looked up at Luca, who was enveloped in divine flames in the sky, their faces filled with shock.

"Divine level... how could you have reached divine level...?" Finn's face twisted in disbelief, alternating between pale and green, then his expression contorted with rage as he screamed at Luca, "Impossible, impossible! This must be some kind of illusion! You must be using some kind of illusion magic!"

Divine Realm! This was the Divine Realm! The level that countless people could only dream of reaching! And now, it had been attained so effortlessly by someone—someone he despised to the core, someone named Luca. How could Finn not feel an intense mix of jealousy, hatred, and envy stirring in his heart?

Luca, upon hearing this, slowly lowered his gaze, looking down at Finn who resembled a wild beast, and spoke indifferently, "Finn Phillips, do you know how many people in Southwind City died because of you?"

Finn laughed maniacally, his face twisted into a cruel grin. "A bunch of insignificant animals! They were born to be fodder for nobles like us. So what if they died? More will grow in their place!"

"What, do you want to avenge them? You really are a great philanthropist!"

Kalaman shot him a glance, her eyes filled with pity.

This man was completely insane! Not only did he refuse to leave, but he even dared to taunt Luca at a time like this?!

Luca's expression remained unchanged as he slowly extended his hand.

Light gathered in his palm, and in an instant, the surrounding space distorted.

A terrifying divine power descended!

The entire hall—the entire city of Dawn—no, even the eight floating islands, and the very sky above, trembled under the weight of this force!

In the blink of an eye, this was enough to shake the heavens and earth. This was the power of a god!

"Young master, run!" One of the masked figures in red roared. "This person is not someone we can handle. We must leave now!"

Finn snapped back to his senses and shuddered violently. His mind was flooded with an overwhelming sense of fear. It suddenly dawned on him that Luca was no longer the mid-tier professional he once was. He had become a terrifying entity wielding divine power—crushing him would be like crushing an ant!

Run! Run fast!!

This was the only thought in Finn's mind.

Without thinking, the light from his various skills and items flared up!

Finn's figure shot forward at an incredible speed, leaving afterimages in his wake!

A Transcendent was at the peak of human strength, capable of shaking mountains and oceans.

But how terrifying would the power of a god be?

Finn didn't know, and he didn't want to find out.

Watching Finn fleeing at breakneck speed, Luca's expression remained as unchanged as ever. He spoke calmly, "A total of 349,489 people died. Over a million lost their families in that disaster..."

He raised his hand, and boundless divine light coalesced within it before bursting forth in a blinding explosion!

The next moment, Finn, who had already managed to escape the princess's chambers, was horrified to find himself back in the corridor.

Luca reached out and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him effortlessly off the ground.

As if he were a child no older than three, with no resistance whatsoever.

"Now tell me," Luca's gaze turned icy, his white hair flowing as though blown by an invisible wind. His voice was calm, but it carried an overwhelming killing intent. "Do you deserve to die?"

Finn clawed at his neck, his face turning bright red as he struggled to speak, "I... I know... I was wrong... please spare me..."

A smile tugged at the corner of Luca's mouth. "Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. Besides, you're still useful to me."

In the blink of an eye, golden light flashed. When it disappeared and reappeared, Finn found himself suddenly far from the princess's chambers—high above in the sky.

Before him, a massive, blazing golden fireball hung in the air. Inside it, lava and Divine Flame churned, the sheer power emanating from it was terrifying!

"This is my gift to you." Luca waved his hand casually, and in an instant, Finn was hurled directly into the golden sun.

In just a split second, a blood-curdling scream echoed across the skies of Dawn City.

Under the terrifying power of the Divine Flame, Finn's skin melted almost immediately. Streams of Divine Flame erupted from his eyes, nose, and mouth, incinerating his internal organs and flesh.

Just as he was on the verge of death, however, a golden divine power surged into his body, continuously healing his wounds.

Only once Finn's injuries were completely healed did the searing flames begin to burn him once more. It was a cruel cycle—like a hellish torment that would not end.

At this moment, a flash of blood-red light cut through the sky. Lyon appeared.

"Ah!!! Father! Save me! Save me!!" Finn's pitiful cries for help echoed from within the sun, mingling with his agonized shrieks.

Luca chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, I'll reunite you with your son soon enough."

"You lowly bastard! How dare you! How dare you!" Seeing this, Lyon's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his face contorted in rage.

Lyon glared at Luca, his voice seething with fury. "You dare harm nobility in Dawn City? Do you even know what you're doing?!"

Luca spoke calmly. "And even if I do, what of it?"

Lyon, now shaking with rage, let out a mocking laugh. "So you know the consequences and still dare to do this? Are you not afraid of the empire's law and its judgment?"

Luca suddenly broke into laughter, as though he had heard the most absurd thing.

"The empire's law?" He smiled mockingly. "Let me ask you this—do you know that the fate of the entire empire is in my hands? How dare you speak to me like that?"

Upon seeing the malice in Luca's eyes, Lyon's breath caught in his throat. He suddenly had a terrible premonition, but before he could react…

A golden rune flashed in Luca's hand.

By the time Lyon realized what had happened, he was already hurled into the massive fireball.

Luca spoke coolly, "I, Luca, always keep my word. Since I said I'd reunite you with your son, I won't go back on my promise."
