Everything ended swiftly, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

Ethan didn't give Kaster any chance, every strike was lethal.

Kaster, who had already shattered into countless pieces, was still wailing on the ground, and Ethan had no intention of showing mercy.

He once again drew out the Hermit's staff, unleashing light upon those chunks of flesh.

The flesh ignited upon contact with the light, burning until Kaster's screams twisted and became unrecognizable before finally stopping.

The flesh had turned to charcoal.

He seemed truly dead.

The vines that had once filled the room rapidly withered and decayed.

The girl, Lily, whom Kaster had controlled, fell to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut, swiftly losing all signs of life.

Valentino was surprisingly still alive, struggling up from the decaying vines on the ground, running towards his daughter, and holding her while emitting an indescribably sorrowful wail.

"God..."

Vasini quickly approached, wanting to greet Ethan.

Ethan waved his hand, preventing him from uttering the word Divine Envoy.

"Just call me Godfather."

Ethan spoke in an indistinct tone.

"Yes, Godfather."

Vasini, although feeling the word sounded strangely inappropriate when he said it out loud, could only comply.

Ethan looked towards a tall man not far away, wielding a large axe and wearing a peculiar mask.

This person was the formidable War God Level 5 expert that Joseph had found, other information Joseph did not disclose, only saying he was called Headcrusher.

This Headcrusher was similarly a man of few words and ruthless action, saying almost nothing beyond what was necessary.

At the moment, he was also looking at Ethan, casually swinging the axe in his hand, and said blandly, "Once finished, I'm leaving."

Ethan nodded: "Thank you for your effort."

Headcrusher offered no response, disappearing from where he stood in an instant.

His nimbleness belied the physical form he possessed.

After Headcrusher left, Vasini finally exclaimed, "Divine Envoy, praise you! Praise your might..."

"Praise my Lord."

Ethan cut in solemnly, like a religious zealot.

Vasini promptly echoed, "Praise my Lord!"

Valentino, who was in deep sorrow beside, heard their conversation, it was as if he remembered something and immediately clutching his daughter's corpse, crawled on his knees towards Ethan.

While crawling, he pleaded reverently, "Divine Envoy! Divine Envoy! I beg you to save my daughter!"

Vasini watched him.

In his memory, Valentino could be said to be one of those who least believed in the Dark Savior.

Apart from necessary occasions, he almost never participated in prayer activities.

Over the past few days, while Vasini prayed to the darkness, earnestly declaring how God would act, the most disdainful might not have been Valentino, but he could definitely rank in the top three.

Yet after all that happened tonight, his entire faith seemed to have crumbled and been rebuilt.

He began to believe that God exists, and that God is omnipotent.

Because the enemy who turned his daughter into a marionette, in the hands of God, was merely a thoroughly vulnerable being.

God merely dispatched His envoy.

Ethan also regarded Valentino, asking in a deep and cold voice, "Then, what can you offer to the Lord?"

"Everything of mine! My loyalty, my faith, my life! As long as the Lord needs, I can give everything, just please save my daughter."

Valentino was completely frantic.

"Very well."

Ethan said this, then turned to Vasini: "That guy isn't dead yet."

This statement immediately made Vasini tense, he immediately grabbed Throat-Cutter Neil, looking around.

As if Kaster would regrow from somewhere at any moment.

"Don't be afraid, though not dead, he's definitely as weak as a bug."

Ethan also observed his surroundings, but mostly focused on the ground covered with already rotten, dying vines.

The certainty of Ethan's assessment that Kaster was still alive came because he already deciphered the secret of the so-called immortal through the True Name list.

True Namer of the Earth, Number Six: Immortal Earth Throat.

This level of True Name indeed possessed a near-immortal ability, because in reality, this level of True Namer no longer had a real individual body; his true self had long merged with the earth, becoming one with the plants.

A tree, or rather a collective like a tree.

Commonly referred to as the Mother Tree.

The formidable, nearly indestructible physical form that Ethan and the others saw was actually a seed from that Mother Tree, eventually birthing an avatar.

This obviously required massive effort to cultivate, enormous lives and blood to nourish, extracting earth veins' strength to amalgamate, to nurture a physical form.

Once manifested, the body also required long-term supplementation with flesh and blood to sustain.

That's why Kaster was so pained and enraged when his body was destroyed.

Now with Kaster's body destroyed, his consciousness naturally returned to the Mother Tree.

Originally, finding his Mother Tree might be challenging, but this time, in preparation for possible reinforcements for Vasini, Kaster had moved the Mother Tree under this house, setting up in advance.

Otherwise, when Headcrusher launched a surprise attack, Kaster couldn't possibly have instantly ensnared Headcrusher with vines filling the house.

All this information can be deduced through the parsed True Name and the scene.

Including Kaster's weakness.

The weakness of the True Namer of the Earth is clear, fear of fire.

One might even say, their nemesis is the True Name of the Sun.

So Ethan waited for the occasion, to await the arrival of Saint Kuanti's Hermit's staff.

Fortunately, today, when Vasini sought his help again, the staff arrived.

Then everything fell into place naturally.

"Let's go, come with me downstairs."

Ethan carrying the Hermit's staff, proceeded downstairs.

With only the Mother Tree remaining, Kaster would be exceptionally weak, he couldn't possibly leave this house in a short time.

As for offensiveness, in front of the Hermit's staff, it was negligible.

Vasini didn't know what Ethan intended to do, but whatever Ethan said, he would comply.

In his heart, this Divine Envoy was equivalent to God's embodiment on earth.

Equally unstoppable.

Even such a powerful immortal couldn't withstand his fierce attack.

As Ethan and the others descended, marks of vines became more apparent, following the direction of the vines, they eventually entered the basement of this building.

In a basement, a gigantic tree stood in the dark, seemingly emitting an indescribable aura.

As if luring creatures to approach.
