His voice dropped into a low, guttural chant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WMMM! WMMM! WMMM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive Gate of Heaven behind him flared to life, erupting with a blinding, divine radiance. One by one, the Primordial Forces inside the floating soul forms were pulled from their bodies, sucked into the gate like fuel into a furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A storm was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Heaven's Gate Storm—an apocalyptic surge of Angelic energy, roaring outward in a tidal wave of divine destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ethan didn't flinch. Instead, he raised his voice and shouted, \"Everyone—hit him! Go all in! No holding back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a barrage of devastating abilities lit up the battlefield. Elemental fury, divine wrath, arcane chaos—every kind of power imaginable surged toward Yelupus in a synchronized assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelupus's expression twisted in panic. His pupils shrank. He tried to move, to dodge, to escape—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the price of channeling the Heaven's Gate Storm. To draw power from the souls, he had to anchor himself—immobile, vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ethan had seen it coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight high-tier ultimate skills slammed into Yelupus all at once, engulfing him in a cataclysm of light and force. There was no time to scream, no chance to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Olyan, he didn't get lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was obliterated—right there, on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…It's over,\" Ethan said quietly, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'd just taken down a Tier 15 SSS-rank Dungeon Overlord. A being that, not long ago, would've been considered a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Ethan didn't feel much of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No thrill. No rush. Just… routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the truth was, with his current team—every one of them Tier 15 SS or higher, and two of them full-blown SSS-rank powerhouses—killing someone like Yelupus wasn't that big of a deal anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they didn't let the enemy run, victory was almost guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only real challenge left…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe only a Tier 16 Crimson Ultimate Hero could actually push us,\" Ethan murmured to himself, eyes narrowing slightly. \"I wonder… could we even take one of those down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he'd find out soon enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's move,\" he said, turning away from the smoldering crater where Yelupus had stood. \"We keep going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Angelic Demon King dead, there was no reason to linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the team regrouped and charged deeper into the dungeon—toward whatever waited in the darkness ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a massive gate loomed into view ahead of them—towering, ancient, and ominous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could react, a thunderous crash split the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hulking figure dropped from the sky like a meteor, slamming into the ground right in front of them. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing that landed was a beast of a man—muscles like boulders, three jagged horns jutting from his skull, and a face twisted like a demon straight out of hell. In his hand, he gripped a massive cleaver forged from what looked like bone, stained with age and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" the creature growled, his voice like grinding stone. \"Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn't flinch. \"Better question—who the hell are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Dungeon Overlord Sycus!\" the monster roared, and as he did, a wave of raw, oppressive power exploded from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just strength—it was something darker. His aura was a swirling storm of death, shadow, and every kind of negative energy imaginable. Just a ripple of it made the space around them twist and warp like reality itself was rejecting his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another Dungeon Overlord?\" Ethan muttered, narrowing his eyes. \"This one feels… stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's close to the absolute limit of Tier 15 SSS,\" Elira said quietly, her voice tense. \"Maybe even right at the edge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if that was true… then this guy was stronger than even her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant they were in for a serious fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You damn intruders,\" Sycus snarled, his eyes glowing with fury. \"I'll show you what true cruelty looks like. DIE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deafening bellow, Sycus launched into the air, his massive cleaver raised high. Then—he brought it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade carved through the air, unleashing a monstrous arc of energy that tore toward them like a tidal wave of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona didn't hesitate—she shot forward, wings flaring, ready to meet the attack head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" Elira shouted, her face paling. \"Don't take that hit directly! He's too strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona froze mid-flight, startled. If even Elira was warning her off… then this wasn't just a heavy hit. This was something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cleaver's energy slammed into her like a freight train. The space around her cracked and shattered, and everything the blade touched simply ceased to exist—erased from reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave hit her full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona was sent flying, crashing into the ground with a grunt. Dust exploded around her, but she managed to roll to her feet, coughing, bruised but still standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn… that was insane,\" she hissed through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You okay?\" Ethan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll live,\" she muttered, shaking it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira and Andona both launched their counterattack, unleashing a barrage of high-tier skills in perfect sync. Blades of light, divine lances, and searing energy tore through the air toward Sycus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You're both Tier 15 SSS?!\" Sycus blinked in surprise—but then, he smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive gate behind him suddenly shimmered—and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just as suddenly, it reappeared—right in front of him, intercepting the incoming attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion was massive, shaking the entire area. But when the smoke cleared…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate was still standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Elira's eyes widened. \"That's impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no way it withstood that!\" Andona shouted, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's expression darkened. \"What the hell is that gate made of…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish the thought, Namyanna stepped forward, her voice low and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord… I think this guy—he's not just using the gate. I think he is the gate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan turned to her. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean… that gate is part of his body. And not just the gate. Everything around us—this whole place—it's all him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Andona's eyes went wide. \"You're saying… we're inside him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namyanna nodded grimly. \"That's exactly what I'm saying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona took a step back, her face pale. \"Inside his body? But… when? How?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-05T15:15:46.531Z",1,"novelbin.me","a89552eb01a44bea0ae2cc6a9a394f9c9d80791cbdbe9774ba163844028b4a90","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-587","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-585",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
