The stadium trembled with chaos. Kannan had endured the Heavenly Tribulation, his body struck by thunder after thunder. Dransart had stood in his place, shifting through classes—Dragon King, Fairy King, Elf King, Beast King, Vampire King—each transformation buying precious seconds against the storm. Olivia herself had stepped forward, taking five bolts upon her own body, declaring, "Stand firm, because you are going to become my husband after this."
But the final thunder descended, fierce and merciless. Olivia threw a holy item to weaken it, yet the strike still pierced Kannan. His body fell lifeless.
The spectators froze in horror. Dransart and Olivia stared in disbelief. The God Father laughed triumphantly. "Victory is mine. A fake god cannot survive. Olivia, come to my mansion—I will disciple you."
The Stadium's Error
Suddenly, the stadium itself spoke, its voice echoing across the realm:
"Error detected. Participant Kannan has died after Heavenly Tribulation. Resurrection protocol initiated. Candidate is transforming into Devil God."
The gods gasped. Some fainted, others screamed. The impossible was happening before their eyes.
The Turning Point
Dransart, exhausted but unbroken, clutched Swift Sword. He realized the truth: Kannan's death was not an end, but a passage. The tribulation had been the test, and the stadium—the divine system itself—recognized him as worthy of ascension.
Olivia's heart pounded. She had forfeited to him, fought beside him, and now watched as the man she had called fiancé was reborn in catastrophic glory.
The God Father's laughter faltered. His face twisted with dread. If he resurrects as Devil God, the system itself will change. My authority will crumble.
The Resurrection
Dark-red aura surged from Kannan's fallen body, thicker than blood, heavier than shadow. The ground cracked, the sky split, and the thunder transformed into a crown of black fire above him.
The voice of the stadium declared:
"Kannan Zevan—Catastrophic King. Title granted. Devil God ascension complete."
Thus, the impossible has occurred.
Kannan, once mocked as a fake god, has died and resurrected as Devil God. Dransart and Olivia stand at his side, while the God Father trembles at the loss of control. The God Realm itself begins to shift, its system rewritten by the rise of the Catastrophic King.
