In hindsight, it was the perfect chance to retreat and collect myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I wasn’t about to let an opening like this slip through my fingers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead of doing the sensible thing, I recklessly chose to capitalize on the momentum and poured a massive flood of Essence into the ground. The entire valley groaned and shook as the stone hands I had summoned earlier crumpled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, the earth itself ruptured open into a chasm directly beneath theGod’s feet... then surged upward, molding into the form of a large, serpentine dragon of compacted rock and jagged shale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s massive maw hinged wide before closing with a sound more deafening than thunder, not only swallowing the deity whole but crushing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon then carried him at least fifty feet into the air, its stone fangs grinding fruitlessly against his divine hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of course, merely this much wasn’t going to be enough to put down a god — even a fallen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, a blinding flash of light erupted from within the dragon’s throat a second later before its entire body disintegrated from the inside out in a rain of stone fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grinned, wiping sweat from my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attack like that would’ve, if not killed, then at least slowed down mostGreaterSpirit Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To give you a reference, I doubt theSolbraithCyclops from back at the Night Sanctuary’s massacre would’ve survived it. Sure, it would’ve resurrected, but it wouldn’t have been able to tank the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, it seemed theGod Who Eats Iswas only amping up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I scoffed as my stone dragon finished shattering into a thousand pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TheGodhung suspended in mid-air for a fraction of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noted he had switched the chained sickle in his center-left hand for a vajra — a short, symmetrical metal scepter that had two ribbed spherical heads embedded with azure jewels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unluckily for him, he didn’t get a chance to use his shiny new toy. Because a massive column in the shape of a gigantic baseball bat was already closing in on him with a full, lethal swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it connected with all the weight of a skyscraper falling at the speed of a freight train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THWAAAM—!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was glorious. The bat struck theGodand thrashed him across the horizon like a star athlete hitting a record-breaking home run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity became a streak of gray, tumbling through the air until he... he...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Until he slammed into an invisible veil that shattered like a mirror. And I’m not being poetic or metaphorical here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air— no, the very reality itself quiteliterallycracked in the distance as its broken fragments fell away, dissolving into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slumped slightly, leaning on my axe, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right in front of me, the view had changed. I could now see the end of this previously endless valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not very far away from where I was standing, the grand canyon opened up to a vast shore that was as sandy as it was desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond its coastline was a sea of shimmering silver water that sat still and undisturbed, like a desert of liquid mercury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unending streams of crimson light bled from the red moon in the fractured sky — the same red moon that had haunted us throughout our journey — and fell somewhere past the boundless skyline, pouring over the surface of the silver sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beautiful scene... beautiful in the eerie way a graveyard is beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I had to tear my attention away and bring it back to the shore, because in the center of that friable expanse, theGod Who Eats Islay embedded in a crater of churned, white sand. He wasn’t moving, his gray form a stark contrast to the pale tide line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, I entertained the idea that I had done it. I had defeated a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a second, my expectations were destroyed. TheGodbegan to stir and stand back up like he hadn’t just eaten an attack that would’ve demolished a small city block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bastard had been using his Ring Of Illusion to hide the end of this valley from our sight, breaking us not only physically but also mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then,\" I breathed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn’t feeling good. I had never used so much Essence so fast. My lower body felt tight and heavy, while my upper muscles ached in a dozen different spots. Every inhale was accompanied by a strange sense of tiredness, and each exhale felt like it was taking a little more of my life with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to finish this quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant stone golem that had materialized beside me brought its equally ginormous baseball bat up to start crushing the crude club into a dense sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flooded even more Essence out of my soul, fueling it to excite the rock ball’s matter until the sphere glowed with a red-hot, incandescent heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around the golem’s hand began to warp and shimmer, the intense thermal energy liquefying the outer layers of the stone into a viscous, molten slag that dripped onto the valley floor like tears of lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t wait for theGodto fully regain his footing before commanding the golem to throw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construct’s massive shoulder joint groaned, gears of Essence-reinforced stone grinding together before it unleashed the projectile with a whip-like crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The molten meteor streaked toward theGod Who Eats Isas he raised his newly equipped vajra. The azure jewels embedded in it started crackling with sparks of electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low-frequency vibration hummed in the air before amajesticlightning bolt shot from the scepter’s tip and struck the incoming meteor head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only chaos ensued as the collision triggered a messy explosion, causing the incandescent rock to splinter into a myriad of magma fragments that rained down in a burning deluge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white sand below was pelted by the sudden downpour of magma rain, which turned into cooling obsidian on contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the sand hissed and fused, instantly turning to glass under the intense thermal shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TheGodthen swapped the chained sickle in his lower-left hand for a gleaming, three-pronged trident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he moved at such supernatural speed that it left his blurry afterimages everywhere, weaving through the torrential falling lava in a display of agility that shouldn’t have been possible for his hulking frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retreated toward the silver sea, then started walking over its watery surface before thrusting the trident into the mercury-like depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if on cue, the still water obeyed. Cold whips of silver liquid gushed upward, orbiting the deity in a protective cocoon that vaporized any stray droplets of molten stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that I thought it mattered. I doubted a few splashes of lava would have truly scarred his divine hide anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clicking my tongue in frustration, I rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I passed by it, the gigantic golem reached its limit. Its joints finally gave out, and it started collapsing into a heap of debris. I didn’t spare it a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the rock slide could consume me, I pushed my body into a full sprint, reaching the glassy, sandy shore in a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Common sense screamed at me to stay on solid ground. My control over water wouldn’t be as refined as earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, the God seemed to be able to manipulate three elements — lightning with his vajra, water with his trident, and wind with his crooked staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not have any control over land. The better strategy would be to stay here and fight him where, if I held no advantage, Iat leastheld no disadvantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally... I ignored the better strategy and plunged onto the silver sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment my bare skin touched the surface, the liquid mercury-like glimmering water didn’t swallow me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, a shelf of jagged and translucent ice bloomed beneath my feet, spreading for meters with every step I took, essentially freezing the water to give me a solid platform in the center of theGod’s domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I began conjuring ice spikes from the frozen sea and started launching them like ballista bolts toward my enemy. I also started hurling fire arrows with the stone hand on my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TheGodcountered, both his crooked staff and metallic trident dancing as he lashed out with whips of heavy silver water and wind blades, harmlessly decimating anything I could throw at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We continued trading blows, several of which sent thunderous shockwaves rolling across the silver expanse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than once, the God tried aiming at me with the vajra, but I kept moving in the most unpredictable patterns I could manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Until finally, the fallen deity slammed his trident down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant wall of silver water rose between us like a towering reverse-waterfall that cut off my line of sight completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I skidded to a halt on my ice island, panting but already gathering the dregs of my power for a counter-move by summoning [Piercing Bolt] and [Flame Lash] Cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But theGodwas faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind the shimmering curtain of the waterfall, a serrated disk of dark metal suddenly emerged. It spun with a high-pitched, metallic shriek, catching the crimson light of the red moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes widened as it came at me faster than I could track. I threw myself into a desperate dive to the side, though my heart leapt into my throat as I realized, with mounting dread, that I was too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THWACK—!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t feel the pain immediately — just a sudden lightness where my limb used to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also felt cold as I watched, detached yet horrified, as my own right arm spun away, cleaved clean off at the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>",1626,"2026-05-30T12:03:22.768Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.979Z",1,"novelbin.me","f79ae3a225c9721a3e21eaa5fbd16e1b8a70a615cc98b2f75fc7b777dea84a3b","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-341","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-339",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyoung-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-cover.jpg"]
