Inside the massive laboratory—
Gwen floated into the air, circling the room as blazing fireballs continuously shot from her hands!
Thumbskull roared as he hurled tables and chairs to block the flames!
Frightwig's living hair writhed wildly, snapping and lunging toward Gwen, trying to restrain her—but she stayed just out of reach!
"Shit…"
Seeing this, Acid Breath cursed under his breath.
He suddenly turned his head and spat a mouthful of corrosive slime straight at Grandpa Max.
"You like playing the hero? Then go save someone!"
"Grandpa!!"
Gwen cried out and instantly flew in front of him!
Flames burst from her palms—
BOOM!!!
The fire collided with the acid, detonating violently!
Gwen was blasted backward by the shockwave, crashing into a cushioned seat in the back row instead of the wall.
The lucky charm around her neck flashed faintly.
She wasn't injured—but the impact left her unable to continue fighting.
"Hand over your valuables obediently," Frightwig sneered as she stepped closer, "And I might spare your life."
Acid Breath patted his chest, still shaken.
"When she attacked just now, it scared the hell out of me… She reminded me of another terrifying kid."
"Too bad," he sneered. "You're way weaker than him."
"Hah! Even if that alien brat shows up," Thumbskull laughed arrogantly, "We'll still beat him flat!"
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Heavy footsteps echoed.
A massive beast—ancient, oppressive, and radiating divine authority—slowly stepped forward.
The Super God Beast entered the laboratory.
Instantly—
Everyone froze.
Not a single person dared move.
"Ethen…"
Gwen stared at the Super God Beast's godlike form, momentarily dazed.
"…What is that?" Grandpa Max was completely unable to understand this alien form anymore.
Thumbskull, Acid Breath, and Frightwig felt their hearts pounding violently.
The Celestial aliens and the Error aliens had completely different styles—
Yet they could feel it.
They were transformed by the same person.
That terrifying human named Ethen.
"Last time I caught the three of you," The Super God Beast said coldly, "you still dare to cause trouble."
He stopped in front of them.
"First—put the medals back."
"Y-yes!"
"Understood!"
The three immediately obeyed.
Like model citizens, they began carefully returning every stolen item to its original place.
They worked extremely slowly.
Painfully carefully.
They were terrified of what would happen once they finished.
"Enough," The Super God Beast growled. "Stop stalling."
The trio stiffened.
"Relax…"
The Super God Beast whispered.
ROAR!!
A high-frequency roar exploded outward!
Sound waves swept through the room—
In an instant, the Circus Freak Trio collapsed unconscious, dropping to the floor one by one.
"…This is insane…"
"One roar—and they're done?"
Cold sweat poured down Grandpa Max's forehead.
He still didn't fully understand Ethen's alien powers.
Gwen finally exhaled in relief.
"It's over…"
"No," the Super God Beast replied calmly. "It's not."
He stared at the unconscious trio.
"I gave them a chance. They reoffended. Therefore, they will be punished."
More importantly—
They didn't even trigger a reward-point mission.
Useless.
Kevin at least gives points.
"Are you… going to kill them?" Grandpa Max's heart tightened as he stepped forward.
"I said before I wouldn't interfere with your personal actions—but give me time. I'll take the others away."
He chose to compromise.
"No." The Super God Beast smiled confidently.
"With divine power, I no longer need crude methods like killing."
Killing was efficient—
But now, he could do something far more advanced.
Whoosh!!
The pattern on his body rotated.
Divine light flashed—
And Ghostfreak appeared.
But this was no ordinary Ghostfreak.
His body bore the starlit black skin of the Celestial God Clan.
Three short horns rose from his head.
His eyes glowed deep, radiant gold.
"Celestial Ghostfreak…" Ben Tennyson whispered.
"This isn't just an alien… It's a god's projection."
No one felt fear anymore.
Only reverence.
"Celestial—Illusion."
Golden light erupted from Celestial Ghostfreak's eyes, forming a terrifying illusion field that engulfed the three villains.
Seconds passed.
Then—
Thumbskull slowly stood up.
His face twisted as tears poured down.
"W-why was I so awful before… robbing, arson, even murder… I'm trash… I should be locked up…"
"I want to go to prison! People like me deserve it!!"
Acid Breath crawled up, screaming hysterically.
Frightwig rose silently—then wrapped her living hair around her own neck, trying to strangle herself in repentance.
Everyone stared, stunned.
Celestial Ghostfreak smiled faintly.
"My illusion has completely rewritten them. They will never commit evil again."
Normal Ghostfreak's illusion caused fear.
Celestial Ghostfreak's illusion rewrote the soul itself.
Then—
He slowly turned toward Zs'Skayr.
"Can even a demon like him be changed…?" Ben swallowed dryly.
"This is easy."
"Ben," Celestial Ghostfreak said calmly, "from now on, you can use Ghostfreak freely."
Golden light blazed—
Illuminating Zs'Skayr completely.
Sizzle… sizzle…
Dark aura and killing intent poured out of him as he was forcibly purified.
"No—don't change me!!" Zs'Skayr screamed, writhing violently.
He turned to flee—
WHOOSH! BANG!
A massive claw descended like a mountain, pinning him to the ground.
The illusion continued.
Before Celestial Ghostfreak—
Zs'Skayr was utterly helpless.
Seconds later, the claw withdrew.
"…Is it over?" Ben and Grandpa Max stepped closer.
Zs'Skayr slowly floated up.
Everyone instinctively backed away.
Then—
He smiled brightly.
"Ben… Master. I, Zs'Skayr, like you the most!! I want to fight alongside you!!"
He hugged Ben tightly.
Ben froze—then awkwardly hugged back.
"O-okay… Zs'Skayr…"
Goosebumps covered his body.
Ethen really had changed him—
But damn, it was gross.
Grandpa Max took a deep breath.
An apprentice Plumber had just defeated Zs'Skayr using pure illusion.
The power gap was ridiculous.
