Chapter 467: Well-Preserved


    To be honest, curly hair and such are not that big of a deal.


    But the problem is that Enel shouldnt have wrapped his hair with a headscarf. Due to the preconceived notion, Ian had already gotten used to his wrapped-up hairstyle. However, now that hes been beaten up and suddenly revealed his curly hair, its an eyesore for anyone


    What made matters worse was Enels outrageously elongated earlobes. When he had his head wrapped up, it didnt seem like much, but now with his head full of curls, he looks like a middle-aged woman


    Ian couldnt help but burst intoughter, while Enel himself turned red and faded into an unsettling pallor.


    Clearly, Enel himself also thinks his hairstyle isnt good-looking. Otherwise, he wouldnt have wrapped his hair so tightly. Even gods have their pride If someone else had made fun of him like this, Enel would have immediately retaliated with a divine punishment.


    However, now the one mocking him was Ian, to the extent that Enel was now consumed by the urge to smash his head against a wall!


    What else could he do? He couldnt win in a fight, nor could he escape. Ian currently held his life in his hands. Was he really going to fight to the death over a hairstyle?


    Fortunately, Ian wasnt the kind of person who intentionally ridiculed others ws. He just couldnt help but burst outughing when he suddenly saw that peculiar hairstyle. After he had enoughughter, Ian threw Enels headscarf back at him and said, Put it back on!


    Enel, feeling dejected, put the headscarf back on his head and theny on the ground, weakly asking Ian, What is it that you truly seek?


    This was the most peculiar thing for him. Logically speaking, since Ians de was capable of inflicting harm upon him, it meant that he could also kill him. However, in their previous battles, Ian hadnt truly unleashed his will to finish his enemy.


    It was evident that Ian had shown him mercy.


    I want all the gold in your possession! Ian crouched down and looked at him.


    Just just that!? Enels eyes almost popped out. Are you defying the very essence of divinity for the sake of mere gold!?


    Before Enel could process the words, a resounding p echoed through the air. Ians expression turned grim as he snapped, Even now, do you still believe yourself to be a god?


    The force of the p left Enel feeling dazed. His face was already swollen from the previous beating, and now, Ians palm had added five additional fingerprints to the mix.


    Enel felt so aggrieved. It was just a slip of the tongue, an offhand remark. Did Ian really need to strike him like that?


    Just as Ian had anticipated, this relentless pummeling had shattered Enels self-assurance. Like an inted balloon, once pierced, it deted rapidly. Enels invincible arrogance had evaporated, reced by a thick, lingering psychological shadow cast by Ian.


    Though he was still filled with resentment, Enel knew he was no match for Ian. He couldnt even seek revenge.


    As he witnessed Enels teary-eyed expression, Ian sneered at him. Dont forget, it was you who willingly sought me out. Originally, if you hadnt shown up, I only intended to take the gold and leave. But why did you have to think so highly of yourself?


    Those words struck Enel even harder. Indeed, he had voluntarily provoked Ian initially, and now, he was being chastised like a disobedient child


    A typical case of trying to act cool but ending up being screwed over


    I can give you the gold! Enel said sullenly. Ill give you all the gold Ive collected! Just take it and leave this Sky Ind!


    Of course, I will take the gold! Ian replied. Then he looked up at the dark thunderclouds looming in the sky. Thanks to Ians timely intervention, the scope of the thunderclouds hadnt expanded to cover the entire ind, but he still felt somewhat dissatisfied. Lowering his head, he asked Enel, If I remember correctly, you wanted to destroy the entire Sky Ind, causing me and mypanions to lose our footing and fall, isnt that right?


    , Enel dared not answer that question. He was afraid that answering would only result in another beating from Ian.


    Ive heard from the people of Angel Ind that you even destroyed your own homnd! And now you want to destroy this Sky Ind? Enel continued to press him for an answer.


    Why cant I? Upon hearing this, Enel retorted, his head snapping up in response. He threw the question back at Ian, his eyes burning with defiance, All things must adhere to thews of nature. This Sky Ind defies its own essence by materializing in the heavens. Its people, mere mortals yet dwelling in the celestial realm. These anomalies, they mock the natural order. Earth is for the earthbound, humans for humanity, and gods for divinity. Each has its rightful ce. I am merely rectifying these transgressions. What could possibly be amiss?


    This theory was the principle Enel had always followed, and it was the reason behind his extreme and radical behavior.


    However, upon hearing this theory, Ian immediately left him dumbfounded with a single question, If thats the case, ording to your logic, you cant even defeat me, so you cant be a god either. Then where is your ce of belonging?


    Stunned! Enel stared at Ian in astonishment, unsure how to respond.


    Before encountering Ian, his inted mindset made him believe he was an invincible deity. And in the realm of deities, ones rightful ce was an infinite expanse ofnd. Thats why Enel constructed the Ark Maxim, intending to reach the limitlessnd of his dreams.


    However, now Ians appearance had brought him crashing down from his godly status, making him realize that he was, in fact, just a human. So what should he do next?


    Without being a deity, he had no qualification to reach that infinitend


    Cante up with an answer, huh? Ian looked at his state and couldnt help but sneer, In contrast to you, I believe that what exists is reasonable. Whether its a Sky Ind or the people living on it, if they can survive in the sky, it means its reasonable. But you cant even see this basic fact and selfishly decide their fate based on your own ideas!?


    At this point, Ian shook his head and said, Youre sick and need treatment!


    Raising his head, Ian looked at the thunderclouds in the sky. He felt that if he let these thunderclouds be, it could still be dangerous. Within those thunderclouds, immense electrical energy was umting, and if left unattended, they might eventually unleash thunderstorms.


    Now, before Enel caused even greater destruction, Ian decided to subdue him. In his view, it was a good thing. It wasnt about saving this Sky Ind by breaking it down and rebuilding it. Instead of waiting for Enel to bring despair to everyone before stepping in as a savior, stopping Enel in advance would allow the ind to be preserved to the greatest extent.


    Thinking of this, Ian flew up into the sky again, and moved toward the thundercloud.


    He nned to absorb the electrical energy within these thunderclouds and eliminate any potential hazards.


    Simultaneously, leaving the scene was also a test to see if Enel had any intentions of escaping.


    .


    As Ian delved into the depths of the thunderclouds, panic consumed the residents of Angel Ind down below. The news brought back by those who had managed to escape from Enels Ark construction shook the entire poption of Angel Ind.


    They had believed that their loved ones had gone to serve the gods, but little did they know that they were taken as ves! Furthermore, the gods nned to destroy their very own homnd.


    After the initial disbelief subsided, doubts began to arise among the people, especially when they noticed the appearance of ck thunderclouds hovering above the forbidden territory of Angel Ind. A long-suppressed fear engulfed their hearts.


    The people of the Sky Ind knew fear and trepidation when it came to Enel. They were aware of his immense power and the dark history he carried.


    As panic spread, more and more people started to flee, setting sail towards the Gate of Heaven.


    Strangely, the ck thunderclouds in the sky, after expanding for a while, suddenly ceased their expansion.


    What is happening? People looked at the distant sky above the forbidden territory with bewilderment.


    Not only that, they gradually observed the dissipating lightning within the ck thunderclouds. It was as if they were vanishing into thin air.


    Within a short period, the ck thunderclouds in the skypletely disappeared, leaving behind familiar white clouds that the people of the Sky Ind were ustomed to.


    Are Are we saved? People stared in disbelief at this inexplicable scene, murmuring their words.


    It was at that moment that the escaped ves suddenly remembered the man with ck fiery wings they encountered during their descent on the leaves.


    Unable to contain their astonishment, they eximed, The enemy of the gods! It must be the enemy of the gods! Hes the one who stopped Enel!
