Chapter 451: SVOP: Chapter 451

Vladimir shouted sharply.

BOOM!

From the sky above, a streak of lightning descended, transforming instantly into the form of the divine beast Raikou.

"A mere Rumble-Rumble Fruit user... and you dare to rant and rave before me, the Master of Lightning?!" Raikou roared, unleashing a bolt of lightning in return.

At the same time, Vladimir took a step forward.

DONG —

A deep, thunderous vibration shook the air like a sudden clap of thunder. In the next instant, a massive, visible wave of Holy Light swept out, instantly enveloping the entire island.

"This... is true Holy Light. With your pathetic, amateurish tricks, you dare call yourself an angel?"

"With your pathetic, amateurish tricks, you dare call yourself an angel?"

As Vladimir’s words echoed, the immense power of Holy Light covered the entire Sky Kingdom.

On the Lower Tier, countless citizens looked up, instinctively falling to their knees in pious prayer.

Believing the Saintess herself had descended, everyone began to worship spontaneously.

Vladimir paused, sensing strands of faith rising from below and converging directly upon Angelle before him.

"I see now," he realized. "So that’s why you built this kingdom of gods... it was all for the sake of gathering faith."

Angels were capable of absorbing faith. When Vladimir had first transformed into the Archangel, a vast amount of faith energy had rushed toward him — though he had simply swatted it away, finding it beneath him to absorb.

Angelle gritted her teeth. After a long pause, she spoke, "Archangel... as I said before, I am willing to offer 20 fruits as compensation to resolve the misunderstanding from nine years ago. If that is not enough, I will share the faith of these people with you. You are a true angel — surely you need this power far more than I do."

"How boring. Angels who rely on faith are second-rate. I have no need for it."

Vladimir had no interest in further discussion. He clenched his right hand, gathering dense Holy Light which solidified into a Holy Sword.

"Enough nonsense. Today, I shall destroy your kingdom completely!"

With that, he moved like lightning, closing the distance to Angelle and swinging the sword down toward her head.

Angelle’s expression shifted drastically. Knowing there was no retreat, she had no choice but to fight.

A pair of wings burst from her back. Flapping them furiously, she shot upward, vanishing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

"You cannot run."

Vladimir remained calm. With a turn of his six wings, he gave chase at extreme speed.

While this battle unfolded, the divine beast Raikou and Enel were clashing fiercely as well.

Both were masters of lightning. When attacks of identical nature collided, they simply neutralized each other.

BOOM!

Two dragons of lightning swallowed one another, ultimately annihilating each other in mid-air.

Sparks crackled and spread across the clouds in all directions.

"What?!" Enel stared, stunned and disbelieving. "How can you also command lightning?!"

"Hahaha..."

Raikou laughed loudly. "I am the Master of Lightning, the ruler of all thunder in this world. Your Rumble-Rumble Fruit is certainly among the strongest Logia abilities... but unfortunately for you, you have met me. I am a divine beast, the very embodiment of thunder. Even if struck by natural lightning, I would suffer no harm — let alone from your attacks!"

Enel’s mind reeled. His eyes flashed with intense emotion. "The majesty of a god is absolute! Blasphemers like you must be purified!"

As he shouted, millions of volts of high-voltage electricity surged from his right palm. His golden staff was reshaped by the lightning, transforming instantly into a trident.

"Electro-Metallurgy! My lightning is far more than just discharging energy! You may be immune to electricity, but you are certainly not immune to physical damage... Yahahaha! I can hear the very breath of your muscles!"

He flicked his wrist, thrusting the trident forward with blinding speed.

Lightning gathered beneath Raikou’s paws. Predicting the trajectory of the attack, he shifted his body to the side, pushed off the ground with his hind legs, and lunged forward, fangs bared.

"So fast!"

Enel was terrified. "My Mantra can read his movements... but my body cannot keep up with his speed?!"

Seeing Raikou pounce, Enel acted instantly. His body dissolved into electrons, vanishing in a flash.

"Yahahaha! No matter how fast you are, you cannot outrun the speed of lightning!"

Laughing proudly, Enel reformed his shape directly behind Raikou, thrusting his golden trident once more.

"God Speed!"

Raikou growled low. Instantly, purple storm clouds on his back released surges of electricity, stimulating his body and unlocking his full potential.

In the next moment, he moved like a bolt of lightning, dodging the trident strike effortlessly.

"Impossible... such reaction speed... it cannot be!"

Enel’s eyes widened, filled with utter disbelief.

He had lived in the Sky Islands for so long, sitting upon his throne as a god, rarely fighting anyone — let alone true masters of combat.

Now, facing Raikou’s speed, he was completely shocked.

It was faster than the human eye could follow. Even his Mantra could barely track the movement.

At this moment, Enel completely forgot about the Saintess Angelle. His only thought was to destroy this thunder-tiger; Raikou was simply too great a threat to him.

However, that split-second distraction was exactly what Raikou had been waiting for.

Pulling back to a distance of dozens of meters, Raikou suddenly erupted with incredible speed. Like a bolt of lightning skimming the ground, he crashed directly into Enel’s back.

BAM!!!

With a heavy thud, Enel was sent flying like a cannonball.

In the split second of impact, his mind went blank, and a terrifying thought flashed through his consciousness.

"How could he hit me?! I am made of lightning!!"

CRASH!

Carrying this confusion, Enel smashed straight through the gates of the grand temple and flew deep inside.
