Morgana looked up at the sky.
The world, already shrouded in dark clouds, suddenly erupted with thunder in the brief instant of her hesitation!
Gale-force winds howled as the firmament seemed to be torn apart.
Streaks of lightning intertwined within the clouds, occasionally lashing down between heaven and earth, bringing fleeting illumination to the oppressive gloom of the world.
Morgana sensed a vast, majestic power descending from above.
Then...
She saw a man clad in armor of thunder, wrapped in countless streaks of lightning.
She would never forget that face.
It was Luke Rowling—the mysterious mage who had just forced her into a desperate retreat.
And at this moment, Luke had transformed into Thor himself, like a King of Thunder, receiving the homage of ten thousand lightning bolts.
As Morgana's eyes widened in horror—Wossh! Wossh! Wossh! Wossh! Crackle! Craaackle~~!!
Luke's body began to absorb the surrounding lightning like a black hole, swelling rapidly, until he transformed into a Thunder God General formed from the convergence of more than ten thousand bolts of lightning!
He stood over a hundred meters tall, gripping a spear of thunder. Though his face was somewhat obscured by the surging lightning, on closer inspection, it still bore a seventy percent resemblance to Luke.
She thought it was over.
But the overwhelming lightning converged once again, collapsing inward, and in an instant solidified into a world-suppressing Kirin hundreds of meters long! (IMG)
The Kirin seemed truly alive, imbued with its own will.
It fixed Morgana with a ferocious glare, yet meekly allowed Luke to remain seated upon its back.
"No… impossible!"
"Such terrifying thunder magic—no… it isn't a single spell, it's multiple thunder spells at once!"
Under this boundless heavenly might, Morgana felt her soul on the verge of scattering.
The pressure of heaven and earth bearing down on her made it hard to breathe.
"Are you joking?! Even magic that draws upon the power of heaven and earth shouldn't be cast with just a wave of the hand!"
"Where are the incantations? Where are the rituals?! This isn't magic!"
Morgana screamed in raw terror.
This terrifying witch, who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with Merlin and made the world tremble, now appeared utterly fragile and powerless before Luke, who was infused with the power of The Lightning God.
Everything before her overturned her understanding of magic and shattered her worldview.
It was the first time she had realized that magic could be used in such a manner.
"Morgana, do you admit your guilt?!"
Luke's deep, bell-like thunderous voice resounded across the land!
All of New York City was shaken by that sound. Countless people looked up, covering their mouths in shock as they stared at The Lightning God in the sky.
Devout believers instinctively fell to their knees, offering Luke their sincere worship.
In that moment, even those who did not believe in gods had an indelible image carved into their hearts—The God of Lightning and Thunder! THOR!
Morgana trembled violently. Her soul body, woven from magic, became unstable as her eyes darted about, unable to form a reply.
"Since you have admitted your guilt, I shall grant you Thunder Punishment!"
When did I admit my guilt?!
Panic flooded Morgana's face as she desperately flew off in one direction at top speed.
However, Luke raised a finger, and a ten-meter-wide kinetic force field instantly formed around Morgana, trapping her in place.
The kinetic force field was invisible and intangible, yet it completely isolated the interior from the outside, leaving Morgana with no way to escape.
Before she could find a path out, accompanied by a soul-shaking roar, the sky was utterly ignited!
Thunder illuminated the entirety of New York.
The Lightning God rode the raging storm, crossing thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the furious heavens roared as hundreds of lightning bolts poured down like a torrential rain, transforming that ten-meter space into a true Thunder Domain!
Morgana's form was torn apart again and again in an instant.
She screamed in agony, desperately attempting to reassemble her body within the sea of lightning.
But when Luke—transformed into The Lightning God—descended together with the qilin,
Morgana was completely annihilated, pulverized by countless bolts of divine thunder.
Her soul disintegrated.
Her magic scattered.
She vanished utterly between heaven and earth.
With Morgana's death, both The Lightning God and the Kirin appeared to have fulfilled their purpose, suddenly dissipating without a trace before the eyes of millions.
Heaven and earth fell into silence at that moment.
A torrential rain began to fall unnoticed, yet millions of New York City's residents remained frozen in place, staring blankly at the spot where The Lightning God had stood.
Everything that had just happened felt unreal—like an illusion.
Yet the divine might of The Lightning God had been etched deep into the hearts and bones of every witness.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Luke flashed back to his doorstep, his face deathly pale.
Showing off had felt incredible for a moment, but his energy had been completely drained.
To annihilate Morgana in a single strike, Luke had truly gone all in.
He had amplified Overwhelming Thunder Power, summoned Amaru Form and the Kirin, and unleashed Lightning Storm, Heavenly Thunder Array, and a Lightning Spell.
Six major thunder-based arts converging in one person—something that would have alarmed even Thor himself. Morgana's death could only be described as fitting.
Luke couldn't normally cast magic on that scale.
He had instead leveraged the vast thunder already gathered in the sky, then used what little energy he had left to weave that overwhelming spectacle.
But the payoff was enormous.
[Morgana eliminated. Record successful. 4000 Anomaly Points gained!]
[Reality Editor upgraded to Version 2.5. Item Vault function unlocked. Current Anomaly Points: 600 / 1600.]
Luke immediately maximized his own attributes.
All six of his basic attributes surged to 150.
Energy flooded back into his body, and the hollow exhaustion vanished completely.
Luke then applied the Morgana template.
To his surprise, his Energy attribute increased even further.
Name: Luke Rowling
Attributes:
Strength 150,
Intelligence 150,
Agility 150,
Stamina 150,
Soul Strength 150,
Energy 200 (150 + 50)
Item Slots: Empty (10 slots)
Skills: Earth Core, Celestial Star, Overwhelming Thunder Power, 200 Million Volts · Amaru, Kirin ...(expand)
Power Rating: Barely qualifies as a Human.
The other attributes remained unchanged, but his Energy stat had increased by a full 50.
Luke pondered it briefly and quickly understood why.
"This must be the bonus granted by the Morgana template. Her magical energy must have been 200, so after applying her template, that portion was added directly to me."
"In that case, after acquiring more character templates in the future, my attributes can continue to grow without being restricted by my original stat limits."
"If I can take down someone like Superman, then I'll be able to gain his Strength, Agility, and Stamina bonuses…"
"Perfect."
Luke was in high spirits. Morgana having an Energy value as high as 200 was somewhat unexpected, but once he remembered that she stood on the same level as the legendary mage Merlin, it no longer seemed strange.
It was just a pity that while she possessed immense magical energy, she lacked sufficiently powerful spells.
Moreover, she had been in poor condition and unable to unleash her full strength.
And on top of that, she was hard-countered by his thunder.
Her death was anything but unjust.
"But what is this Item Vault function?"
Luke opened the item interface with curiosity and found numerous pieces of equipment inside, each carrying different attributes.
Cloak of Invisibility,
Vanguard Shield,
Helm of the Dominator,
Alchemist's Hand,
Boots of Speed….....
All of them were fairly basic pieces of gear.
There were no artifacts or similarly high-tier items to be found.
Luke suddenly thought of something. Staring at the empty item slots, his expression brightened with excitement.
"Could it be…?"
