My Substitute CEO Bride

"Right! Killing him now is still not too late! I still have a chance. Why should I even follow that ridiculous list?"

Power was usually obedient to Gorgeous Country's orders. He mainly did so because they had promised him the world he desired. Now, however, he no longer intended to care about such things. He knew that if this dragged on, the situation would only become more troublesome.

Just then, Sven unexpectedly pulled out the Shura Divine Staff from behind him.

"Power? What a painfully juvenile name."

"What did you say?!" Power roared, his composure beginning to unravel.

Channeling power into the Shura Divine Staff, Sven continued to taunt, "I said, your code name is embarrassingly juvenile. The truly powerful don't need to broadcast their strength so bluntly. Which is why you're no strong one at all!" The Shura Divine Staff in Sven's hand pulsed with a menacing red glow. "Otherworldly fire!" An endless blaze descended.

As Power raised his arm to defend himself, the sight before him made him laugh aloud. Sven was actually targeting him with this?

"Are you trying to make me laugh? Well, congrats-you've succeeded." As he continued to mock from his spot, he suddenly felt a tightening in his chest.

"This... How is this possible?!" He stared in horror at his right arm, where numerous burn marks had mysteriously appeared. He was certain the fire had not touched him. Why? Why was the godly power within him gradually diminishing?

Seeing the terror in Power's expression, Sven smirked. "Did you really think I'd be that clueless?"

Power realized he had

underestimated Sven, and a

memory flashed in his mind. Backe when they were inside the barrier, Sven's attacks had seemed

harmless. Since the staff met

affect him within the barrier, Sven adjusted his approach, coating

Power with true energy as subtly as possible.

However, after enduring several of Power's attacks, Sven abandoned that plan. He knew that with a being of such power, it would be impossible to cloak his true energy without being detected. Hence, he opted for a different approach. Cóntent

The bite he left on Power was not merely an act of humiliation but a strategic move to set up the ensuing battle. Power's body was not something that could be easily injured by a simple bite, so Sven marked him instead—a mark designed to facilitate the covert embedding of his true energy.

Power defeated him after that, but it did not matter as the mark had already been placed.

Sven used the guise of playing dead to conceal his true energy. This way, he could control his energy and subtly infuse it into Power's body through the mark.

The gunshots Sven fired earlier were part of this plan as well. The bullets did not inflict any physical harm on Power, but they left traces of Sven's true energy in hisnoveldrama

arm.

Then, just like a spark igniting a pile of dry grass, Sven used his own body as kindling and let his true energy burn fiercely.

Of course, the faint traces of true energy around Power would also catch fire. The godly power within him was like tinder. Once ignited, the flames would rapidly engulf his entire being. This was Sven's strategy.

Power could never have anticipated that the godly power within him would vanish so completely, all thanks to Sven using such clever tactics to bring about his demise.
