As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

In just a short moment, Ron had turned from a living person into a white skeleton. Except for his violently beating heart, there was no trace of flesh and blood on his body.

Such a strange scene made Philomena's heart beat fast.

Although Philomena had sensed that the lightning was extremely dangerous the moment the thin dark red chain appeared, she had not expected that the destructive power of the lightning could reach such an extent.

Even so, Ron's body was still suspended in the air.

But the power passed through Ron's body, and the mountain below collapsed again. The mountain, which was originally a thousand meters high, was now broken by nearly half, and large pieces of collapsed rubble were scattered.

Due to the violent impact, cracks appeared on the Dulles Mountains.

It seemed as if the entire mountain range would collapse under the thunder.

The lightning also did not dissipate, still entwined around Ron, around his heart, and around his white bones.

Dense electric arcs jumped flexibly, making crackling sounds.

The gray mist representing Ron's soul was also entangled by dense electric arcs. The stimulation of the electric current caused the soul to sometimes shrink and sometimes expand.

Philomena didn't know exactly what it felt like, but she could guess that it definitely wasn't pleasant. At least, she could faintly hear Ron's suppressed groans due to extreme pain.

Ron's soul and bones are being tempered.

It's a slow and difficult process.

It was not until nearly half an hour had passed that the arc gradually dissipated.

At this moment, the bones that were originally normal were gradually becoming smooth, and the surface of the bones began to faintly shine with a metallic luster.

Even Ron's soul became much thinner, but more solid, as if some impurities in his soul had been expelled during the tempering just now.

boom.

Ostara's heart was beating.

Soft white light spreads from the heart to the whole body.

Layers of bright red appeared on the white bones. They were the rapidly growing granulation tissue. Ron's body was recovering quickly.

But this time, things seem a little bad.

It seemed to take too long to digest the energy of the lightning.

Just when Ron had just begun to grow a new layer of muscle, the fifth heavenly thunder began to take shape.

Still a slender venomous snake.

Just a darker color.

That feeling is like the concentration of countless blood.

The thunder from the sky had not yet fully appeared, but this area of ​​space was already shaking violently, like a horrific earthquake. The Dulles Mountains were shaking violently, and a large number of cracks began to appear on the entire mountain range.

It was as if some extremely powerful and terrifying existence grabbed both ends of the mountain range and forcefully pulled it apart.

The earthquake even affected places farther away. Even within the borders of the Spang Church, the wrath of the earth could be clearly felt.

Ron, whose body had not yet fully recovered, let out a long breath. He knew that in his current state, it was nothing but a pipe dream to want to fully withstand this lightning.

Although his body would become stronger with each round of heavenly thunder, the speed of his body's strengthening could not match the degree of strengthening by the heavenly thunder.

"Dragon transformation."

A cold voice came out of Ron's mouth. He finally began to use his own strength and no longer blindly resisted like before.

As Ron's voice fell, dense dragon scales suddenly appeared on Ron's body surface. The dragon scales replaced the original epidermis and became Ron's new skin.

Two curved and majestic dragon horns also appeared on Ron's forehead.

His hands turned into sharp dragon claws.

But even so, it is still not enough.

Ron, whose expression was no longer visible under the dragon scales, opened his lips again: "The protection of Hercules."

hum.

A dazzling golden light appeared on the surface of Ron's body.

With a violent roar, the shadow of Hercules appeared behind Ron, and then the shadow quickly submerged in Ron's body. Ron, who was originally 1.85 meters tall, began to expand rapidly. In an instant, Ron had turned into a giant who was 100 meters tall, with golden light all over his body.

Hercules was actually a very powerful force.

When Ron first obtained this power, he could maintain it for a very short time, perhaps only a few seconds.

But it was enough for Ron, who was extremely weak at that time, to have the ability to resist the Vice Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

As Ron's strength continued to grow, the effect of Hercules' protection became more and more exaggerated, lasted longer and longer, and the destructive power became more despairing.

However, Ron's current strength is enough to deal with most dangers, so under the protection of Hercules, his opportunities to appear have become less and less.

But now, it is time for this magical power to shine again.

The fifth heavenly thunder is still brewing.

It might take a few more seconds to fully form.

Ron found it a little funny. She could even imagine the repairman hiding behind the dark clouds, getting furious and increasing the power of the thunder. The scene was interesting just to think about.

I really want to take a look.

Ron suddenly felt a strong curiosity deep in his heart.

Along with curiosity comes impulse.

Ron suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the sky above his head, and his impulse became stronger and stronger.

Just a second later, Ron suddenly let out a loud roar, and the sound of the roar was like a war drum.

It was like Ron's challenge to the repairman.

The next moment, Ron's legs suddenly bent, and the next moment they suddenly straightened. Obviously, there was no place in the air where he could gain leverage, but Ron's body was like a missile, whizzing through the sky at an incredible speed and heading straight for the thick dark clouds.

Obviously, the repairman who was controlling all of this behind the scenes was also shocked by Ron's crazy behavior. The violently rolling dark clouds even came to a standstill for a while. Even Philomena was stunned by Ron's extraordinary behavior.

Ron's speed was incredibly fast, even comparable to the lightning falling from the sky.

Even if it was just this short period of time, it was enough for Ron.

Philomena only felt herself in a trance, and the next moment Ron's figure appeared under the dark clouds.

Even though the dark cloud had begun to shrink and expand again at this time, and the lightning was about to strike, it was too late. Ron, who was a hundred meters tall and radiating dazzling golden light, had turned into a violent giant. He stretched out his huge right hand suddenly, and caught the fifth thunder in his hand with a gust of wind.

Under the protection of Hercules, Ron's strength soared wildly. Even the fifth thunder, which was far more powerful than the previous one, was wrapped around Ron's fingers. Even though it kept exploding with crackling sounds, it could not cause any harm to Ron for a while.

Instead, Ron roared, suddenly pulled back his hand, and slapped his own chest with a bang, and the fifth heavenly thunder was slapped into his body.

There was no need to concentrate, as the highly strengthened body under the protection of Hercules had begun to function on its own, digesting the power of the fifth heavenly thunder and strengthening his body and soul.

"Roar."

Then, Ron opened his bloody mouth and roared again, and a violent airflow gushed out instantly.

That breath was even more exaggerated than the most terrifying gale in the world.

The dark clouds, which had been shrinking and expanding at a certain frequency under the control of the repairman, were instantly messed up.

The next second, Ron opened his mouth again and sucked hard.

call.

It was clearly visible to the naked eye that a huge vortex appeared out of thin air just in front of Ron's 100-meter golden body.

A terrifying attraction burst out from the whirlpool, like a whale swallowing a stream, madly plundering the surrounding dark clouds. Those dark clouds seemed to be entangled by some invisible tentacles and were sent into Ron's mouth and swallowed by Ron.

That is...energy.

The purest, most powerful, and most violent energy.

In an instant, the world was in complete chaos. Only Ron's body continued to expand. In a short period of time, his height exceeded 300 meters, like a huge monster.

Normally, a bolt of lightning would only appear once in a while.

The person undergoing the tribulation will be given a short period of time to recover from his injuries.

This is governed by the rules of this world, and even a repairman cannot change it.

But at this moment, because Ron suddenly broke into the calamity cloud, the original arrangement was completely disrupted at this time. The entire process of transcending the calamity was completely out of control. In a short moment, a large amount of calamity cloud had been swallowed up.

The manipulator behind the robbery cloud was completely furious.

He controlled the calamity clouds, creating waves that covered Ron from all directions.

This is no longer just a matter of heavenly thunder, nor just a matter of cultivators overcoming tribulation; it is a provocation to the entire heaven.

The energy contained in the calamity cloud is extremely terrifying, and the limit of the heavenly thunder is the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder. However, even with the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder, the energy released is only a part of the calamity cloud. Once Ron successfully devours the calamity cloud, not only will Ron be able to successfully achieve demigod status, but his own strength will also be improved unimaginably.

Even the administrators in the heavens could not estimate the strength of such a demigod.

They would never allow this to happen.

Although the administrators in the heavens cannot appear in the Dusk Continent at will, they can do their best within the scope allowed by the rules.

Rumble.

The dark cloud storm in the sky became more intense. The chaotic dark clouds continued to hit Ron's huge body that was hundreds of feet tall. The golden light on his body was rapidly weakened under wave after wave of impacts, as if it could shatter at any time.

At this moment, a huge ancient bell appeared out of thin air in the sky.

The appearance of the ancient bell was not much different from the one Ron had evolved before, but it was hundreds of times larger. It was suspended in the sky like a huge millstone. Then, with a bang, an unprecedentedly loud bell sound spread in the air like ripples.

As the bell rang, the dark clouds controlled by some mysterious entity paused briefly.

Below, there was still a 500-meter-high mountain, which finally reached its limit at this time. The moment the sound waves spread, the mountain collapsed.

Layer upon layer of snow on the Dulles Mountains, which was who knows how many meters thick, was instantly pushed away by the impact, and the sky was suddenly filled with crystal clear snow. Even the thick bluestone slabs on the mountain ridges were lifted up layer by layer.

Although the time was short, it was more than enough for Ron. Taking advantage of this time, Ron opened his mouth wide, and another large amount of dark cloud was swallowed by Ron.

Even Ron's right arm evolved into the form of Arriaius's body, with its bloody mouth opened wide, tearing a huge gap in the thick dark clouds.
