My Substitute CEO Bride

The Crow Deity's eyes were as large as bowls and filled with disdain as it lifted its foot to crush the seemingly insignificant human beneath it. With a booming sonic explosion, Nash's attack that was powerful enough to shatter mountains, struck the Crow Deity's shin. The creature only staggered back a single step. "Damn it!" Nash cursed inwardly. He no longer doubted Bertram's strength. It was clear now that this creature's defenses were terrifyingly robust.

"Infinite Divine Thunder Curse, come forth, thunder!" Nash bellowed, quickly drawing a rune with his blood on his palm and slapping it toward the sky. The world darkened as thunder roared and lightning flashed, with several bolts striking down. Lightning wrapped Nash's arm, and he delivered a fierce punch to the Crow Deity's chest. "Eight Desolate Crumbling Lightning Fist!"

The impact created a basketball-sized hole in the Crow Deity's chest. At the same time, Nash was struck by a sweeping slap from the Crow Deity that made contact with his abdomen. Despite quickly channeling his spiritual power to form a protective shield, he was still sent flying dozens of meters away.

He hit the ground and slid back several more meters, his legs carving twin furrows into the earth.

The Nine Dragons Sword plunged into the ground, halting Nash's backward slide. He exhaled deeply, his eyes blazing with a fierce desire for battle. He relished such fights and was confident he could defeat the Crow Deity as long as it did not possess power at the Profound Oriental Realm.

"Master, are you alright?" Bertram and Regulus quickly rushed to Nash's side.

Regulus frowned and suggested, "Let's all attack together. Make it quick!"

"No need, I can handle this," Nash insisted. He then leaped forward, the gold core in his body spinning while the Nine Dragons Sword in his hands shimmered. Gripping the sword with both hands, he instantly struck the top of the Crow Deity's head. With just two fingers, the Crow Deity caught the Nine Dragons Sword and effortlessly flung Nash away. The creature then patted its chest, laughing in disdain.

Nash swung his sword down again, the sword form cutting three kilometers across. It was another of his powerful moves, Mountain Carver. He had used it previously to repel a Profound Oriental Realm opponent and again today to slay a ninja at the peak of the Divine Ninja Realm.

With a roar, the Crow Deity took a swift step forward as its hands formed rapid seals. Then, it raised a seemingly intricate circular light array that blocked the terrifying sword form descending upon it.

The sword form slammed into the light array, sending ripples outward in every direction. The Crow Deity's massive body sank to the ground, one knee hitting the now-cracked surface.

The light array in its hands shattered, and the shockwave sent Nash flying backward, his clothes torn to shreds.

Panting heavily, the Crow Deity

kneeled on the ground as it

continued to gaze at Nash with a

trace of wariness and a greater measure of anger. It would not have been injured by a mere ant if it had not just awoken with only a third of its strength recovered.

"The Law of Five Thunders!" Nash charged forward again. Thick lightning bolts struck the Crow Deity from the sky. The creature grimaced and roared in pain although the strikes did not cause significant physical harm.

Moving as fast as lightning, Nash

approached the Crow Deity with an overwhelming force. Sword forms filled the air, and the only sounds were their dragon-like roars. Two kilometers away from the battle, Bertram and Regulus gasped in astonishment.

"With his strength, Nash might already be the strongest in the Mystique Loyalty Realm," Regulus exclaimed.

Bertram nodded noncommittally. "You and I are already rare opponents in the Mystique Loyalty Realm. It would probably take both of us together just to barely contend with him!"

Regulus took a deep breath. "I have a feeling that he might even surpass his master."

Bertram stood with his hands behind his back and said proudly, "Setting aside intuition, he will definitely surpass the late Johnathan Calcraft. He might even break free from the constraints of this world!"

An area of five kilometers in

Regulus had to use their true energy shields to withstand the residual energy coming from the intense battle between Nash and the Crow Deity.

This area where the battle was taking place was not that far from the city center, only about 20 kilometers away.
