CHAPTER 15 — THE GODSLAYER'S FIRST EVOLUTION
Midnight.
Cedric stood alone at the rooftop of the Bureau, Manila's lights shimmering below.
He activated his new evolution.
[ GODSLAYER FORM 1 — AWAKEN ]
A ring of divine symbols spun behind him.
His eyes turned gold-blue.
His aura burst outward like a solar flare.
A pair of invisible phantom wings spread from his back, distorting the air.
Arhenos spoke softly:
"Cedric… You are becoming the perfect vessel."
Cedric looked at his glowing hands.
"No… I'll become the perfect destroyer."
He clenched his fist, the rooftop vibrating.
And far beyond the night sky—
Something massive stirred.
Aztarion, the Devouring God, opened a single eye.
"The Vessel grows…"
"Good."
"A stronger feast."
Cedric felt it.
A presence watching him from beyond reality.
And he whispered:
"I'm coming for you."
