Chapter 534: Once and for all
"I've had enough of your arrogance," declared a member of the United Power. He was a man with stark white hair and piercing red eyes.
As he spoke, a dark red aura surrounded him, glowing brightly and pulsing with intense power.
His skin turned paler than usual, making the red aura stand out even more.
Suddenly, wings made of swirling blood emerged from his back, their eerie, dark red color adding to the menacing atmosphere around him.
This provoked the other members into action.
One by one, they unleashed their own auras, each one unique but equally potent. The air grew heavy with their combined power, a palpable tension filling the space.
Each member exuded a sense of pride and strength, their reactions showing that my attitude had rub them off the wrong way.
"It seems the United Power will be no more today, because you're all a bunch of stupid, egotistical, and narcissistic power tripping group," I spat out, my words tinged with a hint of hypocrisy, though just a little.
The woman with the golden sword raised her eyebrows in disbelief at how shameless I was to judged them .
"STOP!" Tony's robotic voice echoed commandingly.
"Don't stop me, Tony! This bastard deserves to die!" roared a muscular man with a tall, imposing physique.
"We can't fight him… If we lost more people then the world will be in danger against the Alien Beast," he reasoned out.
The tall man clenched his fists, veins bulging in frustration.
"That bastard could be the one responsible for all of this mess!" he roared angrily.
His words were quite logical; the world was facing alien beasts, and here I was claiming to be from another world, so it's as good as telling them at I am an alien myself.
"Maybe, maybe not," I said, shrugging casually, my smirk widening.
I didn't feel the need to explain myself.
Here I was, offering them a way out of this trouble, positioning myself as the hero. But, they continued to doubt my goodwill.
Could they not see how I had cast a barrier to minimize the impact of our fight, ensuring the safety of the people below?
"See, this bastard is the villain! Let's kill him!" the muscular man roared, trying to rally everyone against me.
His words were effective; the others glared at me with murderous intent, except for Tony.
He was different—he used logic rather than emotion.
But to be fair, I wasn't sure if Tony really had real emotions or if they were just simulations in his computer brain.
"Are you the one responsible for the alien beasts?" Tony asked, seeking clarification.
I touched my chin, contemplating for a moment. "Alright, because you're not as stupid, I'll answer you. I'm not the one responsible for the alien beasts, but I do have a way to stop them,"
When my words reached them, they all paused for a moment.
None of them had the ability or confidence to fix this issue, so they were curious to to what I had to say.
"If we accept your offer, then what's in it for us?" Tony asked.
"Now we're talking," I said, a wide smile spreading across my face as this conversation finally seemed to be going somewhere.
"By being under me, Everyone just have to acknowledge that I own it," I declared. "In return, I can offer protection and provide humans with a way to evolve further."
"Ways to evolve further?" Tony asked.
I could tell I had everyone's attention.
"That's right," I asserted. "Unlike your approach through science and robotics, which are inferior, I offer true evolution."
"And that is through Mana and Magic, a power that can transform ordinary humans into godlike beings. You may think you're strong, but in our world, your strength is only equivalent to that of a Master Magician, and we have tens of thousands of them!"
"You're lying!" the muscle-headed man roared in anger.
"Am I?" I taunted.
BOOOOOM!
With a quick motion of my staff, his body exploded into pieces before anyone could react.
One by one, the other Gifteds who were also near me started exploding as well.
This made everyone instinctively nervous after witnessing so many of their own die so effortlessly.
They weren't weak, but I made it look easy.
However, it wasn't over yet.
"Godlike Tier Magic... Time Reversal!" I uttered.

Before the scattered remains hit the ground, they reversed in a rapid backward flow, and everyone that died just a moment ago stared in shock as they found themselves alive again
"H—How is this possible ?'
Everyone was in shock after witnessing something beyond their understanding.
"This is magic! The ability to influence reality and even to disrupt that same reality," I proclaimed, emphasizing the profound power of magic.
"Death is just an abstract in my eyes, something I could reverse anytime I want. Time and space? It's just my playground," I chuckled, showing the vast difference in our power.
At that moment, their expressions shifted. They now realized that I could have easily killed them if I had wanted to from the very beginning .
This was my chance to finally establish myself once and for all.
"I ask all the humans in this world, is it really unfair that you bow to a god?" I announced, my voice thundering all over the place.
As I did so, my aura surged and golden light pierced the heavens, completely erasing the rift in space above.
The sky transformed into a radiant golden hue, as if the clouds themselves were made from shimmering gold.
The light reflected from this golden aura now focused on me, casting a divine glow that made me appear as a true god in the eyes of everyone witnessing this spectacle.
In the city below, as they saw the extraordinary display of my power, genuine fear gripped their hearts.
They could feel the weight of their helplessness as they knelt on the ground, their voices trembling with a mix of awe and resignation.
"I worship you," one whispered, head bowing to the ground.
"Please forgive us for our sins," another pleaded, voice cracking with desperation.
"We accept you as our new god. Please save us ," echoed a third, their words an acknowledgment of surrender to me.
This created a chain reaction as more and more people throughout the city began kneeling and praying.
Tears flowed freely as more people sank to their knees in worship of me.
