Chapter 139 — The White Existence
Smoke twisted across the ruined land.
The Arcane General's body lay shattered, torn apart by Azel's god-level strike.
But deep inside those broken remains… something still moved.
A single cracked eye opened.
The General coughed black blood, trembling.
"What… was that power…?"
His voice shook with fear and anger.
"He hit me like a god," he growled.
"I'm a near-god tier… yet he pushed me beyond death."
He looked at his destroyed arms and chest.
"If I stay here… I WILL DIE…"
His body dissolved into black mist as he teleported away.
"But I will return for revenge… Azel…"
The evil laughter echoed faintly before fading completely.

The battlefield fell silent.
Azel stood in the center—then collapsed.
His divine power had pushed past every limit.
His body couldn't handle the strain any longer.
Lare rushed forward, catching him as he fell.
"Azel! Stay with me!"
But Azel's eyes were already closing.
The world went dark.

When he opened his eyes again…
he wasn't on Earth.
The air felt different—thinner, sharper.
The sky was filled with floating islands and white lightning.
Strange symbols drifted through the air like glowing dust.
He sat up quickly.
"Where am I…?"
A deep voice answered.
"You are not home."
Azel turned.
A knight in silver-white armor stood before him.
Not human—his aura was above gods.
His presence felt ancient, colder than space, stronger than time.
Azel stepped back in shock.
"Who are you…?"
The knight raised his head, eyes shining like stars.
"You are not human anymore, Azel.
I have been watching your awakening from this universe."
Azel tensed, preparing to fight if needed.
The knight waved a hand gently.
"Relax. If I wanted you dead, you would have vanished before speaking."
Azel's fists lowered slightly.
"Then why bring me here?"
The knight walked forward.
Every step shook the floating world around them.
"You awakened faster than any being I have seen."
"Your power is unstable. Your form is incomplete."
"And your enemy… the one with the white existence… will come."
Azel frowned.
"White existence…?"
The knight did not answer directly.
Instead, he pointed to Azel's chest.
"The god energy inside you is overflowing.
If you don't master it… it will destroy you."
Azel clenched his hands.
"So you're saying… I'm too weak?"
The knight smirked slightly beneath the helmet.
"You are strong.
But strength without mastery is useless."
He stepped back and lifted his sword.
"Go. Train.
Your time is coming faster than you think."
Azel stepped forward.
"Wait—why are you helping me?"
The knight didn't turn around.
Quietly, almost whispering, he spoke to himself:
"I think he is the one…
The only one who might defeat that being…
the man with the white existence…"
Azel didn't hear the words clearly.
"What did you say?"
The knight's voice returned to its commanding tone.
"Get stronger, Azel.
Or you will not survive what is coming."
The light wrapped around Azel's body—
and he vanished from the floating world.
The chapter ended with the knight staring at the sky.
"White God…
Your challenger may have finally appeared."
