Thanks for the chapter!

NerdyFellow

It would probably damage their records to the degree they were unable to ascend to godhood, or perhaps even level up at all anymore

Joshua Little

Thanks for the chapter.

Roy

Thanks Zogarth!

Chloe

Woo. Get em Jake. Tyftc

Kasey Lindenmayer

Love how zogarth did this! Dude has lost his damn mind! Time for Primal Hunter action!

JJB4345_80_815

Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

Kt-x

Thanks for the chapter!

Doug

Maybe Vesperia will answer to that question, although I don’t think Faith is really their thing, so maybe not

brjenness

yes, but under a different username so we don't get "I told you so"

Thaynian

I have a question? Can gods give Faith energy to mortals? Or is it too much for them to bare? Like if a pantheon of Gods fully believed in someone being a reincarnated God would that boost their records so they would reach godhood faster or is it if it were that easy everyone would be doing it?

Thaynian

Patiently waiting for the Primal Hunter to arrive

Nick Brakhage

This isnt even my final form!

Nick Brakhage

Annddd theyre still fighting

Shaibene

Everyone chill, it isn't being dragged out, when in novel form you'll be complaining the fight was too short,

Jordan Rogers

Do we get a chapter today with the holiday?

Paulo Furlaneto

i hope so.

IFL

Does dying from soul damage at the end of the fight regardless of its outcome count?

Mat

I thought the point of the ritual was the genocide not the planetary core or pylon. Remember his joke about a plague he want Jake to test

Tudor

Hopefully today's chapter is the last of the fight

MilkTheShark

Yeah same.

KenTX325

I thought the Minga and demon lord fights were the best. Well the dual with sword saint was also epic. This fight still feels slow, repetitive and it feels like Jake barely did anything to prepare. EH going from almost dead C grade to semi Devine being feels wrong. If it’s a transcendence then does he have to pay a price?

KenTX325

Always wondered if this was an orange man bad joke.

Numbzy

Major meh. Vilas doesn't give a fuck about a pylon. He could get 10,000 if he asked for them. People would literally donate them enmass if he made a declaration that he wanted them.

GayRehabProject84

Please finish the dammed fight already!

Numbzy

I think the major difference between William and El'Hakan is a matter of information. EH knew exactly what he was up against and decided to fight anyways. This isn't the tutorial and knowledge isn't restricted from EH. In fact he's been warned by Jacob right before the fight. This is a dying path of EH. William by contrast was information starved. He had 0 idea what he was up against. His information about Jake came from their extremely short clash earlier in the tutorial while unknowingly being manipulated by Eversmile. EH's patron is dead, he can no longer be manipulated by him and still went into the fight regardless. You can only justify stupidity for so long, eventually your excuses fall short.

Michael Ferguson

Mysteries are so compelling. With what he is capable of I'm excited to see how he reacts to curiosity.

Sa NPhạm

I NEED MORE...

Ty Cooper

Oh Zog has made my most hated character ever writen and I have never wanted a character too die so badly. Every chapter makes my skin crawl. love him for that and has even had me almost scream at Cheeto to die already. But that is just me getting into it like a football game

SqrlyGrly

Just like he wouldn't bring an enemy back from the dead for a good fight... Oh... Wait...

Benjamin Mages

I think you skipped past the first part of the skill's name. The entire point of that skill... is that it's a lie. There is no reincarnation involved. His true soul is still there, it never died, it never left. He just is lying so hard it's basically become reality. And talking about Eversmile wasn't a shot at Villy, it was saying that this is just him almost but not dying. William actually died and came back, and that's still not the resurrection that Villy is trying to achieve (since their true souls have almost certainly passed on by now).

AetherBoye

I think he's just very interested in them as they're quite the curiosity

Michael Ferguson

I would like to know what Eversmile is going to do about the boots.

Ty Cooper

I like that thought stream

Ty Cooper

Lol this tread has me laughing a little to hard 🤣

Alex

"Strength" isn't really the defining feature of what makes a (Transcendent) skill Transcendent. The thing that makes an ability Transcendent is that it operates outside of the standard paradigms of the System - the System decrees that all abilities must have a cost as a form of equivalent exchange, and for abilities that exist within the paradigm this cost is in resources (mana, stamina, health, etc.) Transcendent abilities break the paradigm by having a non-standard cost, like memories, levels, rare resources, etc. Back in the Nevermore arc, just before the team goes into the challenge dungeons, the Sword Saint says to the Fallen King that he should be wary of using his Unique Skill in the challenge dungeons because the System won't waive the backlash - Jake mentions at this time that a Unique Lifeform's Unique Skill is effectively a System-granted Transcendent ability. Given that the Celestial Child's delusion ability is (Unique) rarity, I think it's fair to say it's akin to the Unique Skill of a Unique Lifeform, which - while not STRICTLY a Transcendent ability, because it is granted by the System - can operate outside the standard paradigms of the System, making it for all intents and purposes Transcendent in nature.

AetherBoye

I agreed he's dead, yes. Whether he stays that way is very much up in the air

Michael Ferguson

Glad you agreed with me.

Hotep Saxis

This sick bastard killed 100 million of his own people. That bloodline has to end, now. Time to get pushed to the limit Jake. Before he dies I still want to hear what Yip of Yore told him, don’t forget Zogarth!

TyranT-Rex

Bro you just put an idea into my head. I doubt it's right, but it's interesting. What if it's Jake at S grade using an upgraded path of the heretic chosen to look back at this fight for inspiration.

IFL

I've also seen a lot of comments that I took as expressions of hype for an outcome rather than actually complaining about the rate of progress; you know, kind of like when you just 'have to' know what happens and read the last chapter before returning to your current one (hallmark of good writing - your readers are so engaged and they're always wanting more). The problem there is that, due to being interspersed and read along with some of the ... Ermmm ... less tactful comments, they take on the same apparent tone of complaint or criticism.

Anna Esswein

It was Carmen

Tommy S

UL's are born UL's from the beginning. Ell'Hakan will probably just blowup. Or you know, become a moon or something...

Razeel Nightfall

But no lie. You found a great hook to catch us with Zogarth.

Razeel Nightfall

On 11/19 I made a joke about how this fight could become the December cliffhanger. Oh for fks sake it was a joke!!!

Cory Sauls

Walka między Bogami rozegrała się między dwoma osobami, które, jak odkryliśmy, nie były nawet blisko siebie pod względem mocy. To jest różnica między Bogami a walką Jake'a/EH.

Razeel Nightfall

Yes.

The lord of chaos

i disagree with your conclusion. A transcendence is a skill so strong it breaks the rules of the system adding the fact that a bloodline can not help you gain a transcendence make El Cheeto's skill clearly not a transcendence. He got it because of his bloodline, he is also not breaking any rules of the system since he has basically made himself think that he actually is the celestial child.

Cory Sauls

Zog did his job then. He effectively created a character to hate and gives us reasons to hate him and want him dead without telling us to hate him. Sign of a great writer. It only feels tedious b/c we are reading it 1 chapter/day instead of one continuous flow.

Baged

I think Jake called him that once, and it just stuck, I guess.

Darthnarciss

Remember though, Jake got moment instead of a transcendant skill, when his bloodline got pissed and reached further than "allowed" causing the system to throw errors, just like now with EH. This new skill isnt even that powerful, from what we've seen, he's just tapping more directly and personally into the faith energy he's been using this whole fight. Heck, even the mass sacrifice from his people isnt due to this, as they'd have done it no matter what if asked. Really, all were seeing is self hypnosis, coupled with energy projections in the form of artifical limbs, and possibly an increased Willpower (due to the self hypnosis). Dude's still actively dieing. This is the last gasp of his Bloodline railing against the darkness.

Darthnarciss

I hoped it was going to be a False God transformation, but I believe False gods are inherently stable and this abomination isnt.

Lynderyn

Can’t wait to see how moment and shadow pair up. I can see a shadow deflecting an attack left while Jake dodges right while moment is active resulting in real Jake getting an almost lethal glancing blow when moment ends.

Kevin Watson

Something else i believe i saw some people say on earlier chapters, if EH exclusively used his bloodline on himself and had a different patron there’s a good chance he and Jake could’ve been good friends or at least more friendly rivals. I’d also consider myself the president of the William Redemption club, and I hope a lot of our closer side characters make it to godhood during the length of the novel, Will included

AetherBoye

That much is definitive, yes

Michael Ferguson

For now the sage is dead.

Lynderyn

Or potential transformation into a false god like ‘I’

MilkTheShark

Why do we call him cheeto? Is it just because he's orange?

Bob Fight

Could be someone finally got a skill to watch Jake’s past and he’s noticing it

AetherBoye

We shall find out when it is written. I expect to be viciously called out for being wrong in the comments if your case is proven just as I shall do to you in the case that mine is proven

Michael Ferguson

There really isn't enough evidence. But that's what I think and I am of the opinion that it fits the facts the best.

AetherBoye

I just don't think that is even remotely true. The first sage is dead and his true soul gone, he is only survived by his records within Villy, exactly as he wanted. His bloodline being later obtained by Villy didn't change that, and it's explicitly stated that only the system can "give" a bloodline to a person who doesn't already have one

William WIlson

No, this is basically a boosting skill which is overloading Ell’Hakan’s body and soul.

William WIlson

I guess your right his body and soul is to weak to hold the power he just absorbed

Michael Ferguson

Bloodlines are not for sail, I would guess. More likely Villy had the necessary requirements to atane the sage's true soul. Like the records from killing him, the ability to change his true souls signature, and the ability to store memory information. Villy was pretty clear about bloodlines being who you are, they exist in the true soul. And yet he ataned one. From the system, shore. But that means Villy is in part, the first sage. The sage's true souls is alive in Villy.

AetherBoye

The shroud is a clearly external power though, it doesn't actually change the truesoul, just what the expression of the truesoul looks like to observers. If a sufficiently powerful person can see through the shroud, as it's implied is possible, the system itself should be able to do so on any being god or not. It's much more likely that villy just did very well in a system event, which gave him the points needed to claim the bloodline. Until the relationship between bloodline and true soul is more clearly expanded upon it's impossible to know for sure, but based off what we know now it's much more likely that the 2 are not integrally linked

brjenness

so confirmed? zog = Shirley?

Michael Ferguson

The Shroud of the Viper actually lets Jake to change his true souls identification signature. I like to think Villy used Shroud to identify as the sage and just asked the system for his soul back. It was probably more complicated and expensive than that.

brjenness

second best is just the first loser

AetherBoye

It's also clear that the records alone aren't enough to express the bloodline, as shown by villy not immediately gaining it after absorbing the sage's records. Some piece was missing, which the system fixed when he requested the bloodline from that system event reward

AetherBoye

A fair argument, and on that point I will concede. On all the other points, however, the theory remains sound. I'd even go so far as to argue that this is better evidence FOR my theory than against, since villy and the sage have different truesouls and yet the same bloodline. If it were an item giving villy this ability, like Jake's mask, I'd agree with you, but it's an integrated part of villy. The bloodline is his, and it is as much a part of him as his stat numbers

Michael Ferguson

Jake and shadow Jake can't exist in the same universe because they have the same true soul.

AetherBoye

Tell me a single fact that is explicitly stated about true souls that contradicts what I said

Michael Ferguson

A perfectly responsible interpretation if you ignore the stated facts about true souls.

AetherBoye

The facts are that true souls are not linked to the bloodline inherently, they're linked to the body and to the records of the individual. If they were solely soul-based, they wouldn't be able to be passed on, so they have to either be based in the body or based in the individual's records, since those both get passed to a child. Now, Villy claimed the records of the first sage on his death, as the first sage requested, and later recieved the first sage's bloodline. He also says the bloodline cost less from the system than he had anticipated. Everything in this paragraph is explicitly stated in book 8. The only logical reason the bloodline would cost less than anticipated is because of the records he had already absorbed. With these points of data, we can draw the conclusion that bloodlines are based in your records. To seperate the records from the true soul effectively, one must die or give them up willingly. This isn't explicitly stated, but it's shown by souls being nearly inviolable by outside forces, and further evidenced by the existence of the usurper ritual. Records are clearly released upon true soul dissolution, hence why usurping exists, and why villy could claim the First Sage's records on his death. Now, my final point on the true soul / bloodline relationship is from earlier on. Simulation Jake clearly has a very similar soul to Real Jake, but also clearly different, because of his likewise different life prior to the system. It's said that the 2 true souls are different but close enough that Jake's integration of sim-jake into his soul is possible, and even then sim-jake is still a clearly seperate entity. Yet, despite them being clearly different and having different true souls, they both have the same bloodline. If bloodlines relied directly on what is in the deepest depths of your soul, and not your records, their bloodlines should be, if not completely different, at least not completely the same. It's also shown that you can lose records, without it hurting your soul, as shown when Jake uses his origin energy (with the 1 exception of when he created a god out of a skill. The god in his soul is what damaged it, not the record loss). All this together proves that records are seperate from the true soul, and bloodlines are based in records, therefore bloodlines are not linked to the truesoul

Michael Ferguson

Facts are only the most accurate model of the world around us. We can only guess biased on the evidence of our feeble perspectives. I'm willing to change my opinion if you stop asking me to provide evidence. It's on you to provide proof. You're wrong about true souls. Look it up.

Jack

Glad someone got the reference😂

Dao of Fried Foods

It has a pylon. Those are somewhat rare and valuable, as they only come from the system and almost always only come during the integration. Pylons/planetary cores are high grade ingredients in various things, if nothing else. I'm sure a master of transmutation has some use for such a thing.

Kraede Epoch

🤣🤣🤣...I feel so old.

Chase Burton

Tftc!

Niko Tainui

I'm glad the fight hasn't ended yet.

Nathaniel Ownbey

Could we be seeing the creation of a unique lifeform?

Jack

My names not Shirley but I agree😂

Michael Ferguson

Hell yeah! More Primal!!

Kevin Watson

id like to think this is a bit of confirmation to my longer comment yesterday. i’m increasingly happy that Ell’Hakan can back up his second best status, although we don’t have a good track record for geniuses without a patron burning their soul for extra power, i actually think the only time this happened was with the fallen king, and… i also like to hear Jake’s heartbeat is picking up, perhaps things can get more primal soon

Michael Ferguson

Shirley the great master is pleased with our suffering. The mark of a magnificent story is that it makes you feel things.

Dylan Simper

Which means it will be limited by the system the same way moment is

Thaynian

I think that’s just the nature of getting chapters day by day. Once this hits its book and audio format it’s going to play out differently.

Michael Ferguson

He is a back stabber. Of course you want to turn your back to William. That is how you know he wants Jake dead. If he wants my trust, he needs to fuck off to train. Then come back and ask Jake politely for a sparring match. If he can't give a good fight then he will never be trusted.

Jack

The next chapter is gonna have an author note telling the people complaining to fuck off I can feel it

Michael Ferguson

Owe the title did change.

joshua herndon

Growth doesnt just come from nothing if you want jakes bloodline to power up or for him to possibly get a transcendent skill he has to be pushed! tyftc and i am pumped to see how jakes going to grow from this

Michael Ferguson

I think round one was the underground bit, a draw. Round two was on the surface, Jake killed Ell'Hakan. We just started round one of the Celestial Child fight. Maybe these chapters will get retitled when they are published.

Gwiddion

It depends how the william experiment will conclude. I can see Eversmile doing some fucked up things to him.

Jeremiah Lambert

No it wasn't William. As he sensed the watcher toward the early middle fight. William observed right at the second stage end fight. No my guess is someone else. Who? Idk. Someone better than any nahoom. Definitely an off worlder because the nahooms b4 couldn't detect jake..so yeah.

Gwiddion

For them its the waiting thats the problem and the seemingly slow progressing of the fight. Was the same with the minaga fight during the best arc ever.

Michael Ferguson

So the harbinger of prime evil organs is a skill Jake didn't take. But Jake would never help an enemy power up just to get a good fight, right? I'm a bit more excited by this. Even if I fell asleep waiting for the chapter. Praise Zogarth!

brjenness

at some point we'll get a big baddie set up over several books to give the gang a nearly impossible fight. they will spend weeks coming up with an insane plan. but because Jake recently had a power up he did not fully understand. he one shots the boss and scratches his head. my bad. this may occur a couple times. them they'll face the one that walks out of the explosion unscathed and gives them the toughest fight of their lives.

Jose Reyna

TFTC

Michael Ferguson

His perception is topped off.

Thaynian

The title change is very telling. Might be getting the best chapters of the series coming up. I just can’t see how people think this is dragging out. This fight has been brewing for years and you want it done in a week? Hell no, leave no stone unturned and bury the Celestial Cheeto once and for all.

Ty Cooper

Ok so El Cheeto destroyed himself in his delusion so he is dead and a temporarily soul fueled celestial child myth but is burning so many souls he is killing himself like a holy mother ritual? Is this just a feast for Eternal Hunger? Also was it William watching the fight that Jake felt?

Michael Ferguson

As I am a slave to the order I would say Valdimar is obviously the true antagonist. With his death the Malefic One would sweep through the other primordials. It is quite vexing that Jake is tainted by being human when he could have been a dragon kin.

IFL

Jacob did say that the holy church would be the only loser is if EH fought. Might have meant that, even if he did survive, EH's bloodline would no longer be of any benefit to the church. A couple possibilities in that regard could be because the bloodline itself was effected in some way in triggering the 'Delusion' or because EH's overridden ego would prevent any possible collaboration. Or, more simply, because of causing extreme and irreversible soul damage to himself (who knows, maybe whatever he's done is akin to chemical neutering ... good luck passing on your bloodline there mate :)). In any case, the church won't lift a finger to help unless they stand to extract an even greater benefit in return.

Alex

Trying to distinguish whether Ell'hakan's new skill is Transcendent or not is kind of a matter of semantics in my opinion. Transcendence is a term that's used to describe powers that exist outside of the System - when characters talk about Transcendence they're usually referring to Transcendent skills, but Bloodlines are also a type of Transcendent power. I believe it's fair to say that what's happening to Ell'hakan is a form of Transcendence, since it relies on the Transcendent powers of his Bloodline. His new Skill is (Unique) rather than (Transcendent) rarity, but I think it's important to remember a conversation that Villy and Jake had a long time ago after the Treasure Hunt: After Jake experiences the Sword Saint's Transcendence, Villy explains to Jake what Transcendent skills are, and he says they're basically the other side of the coin to Bloodlines; Bloodlines are something you're born with, whereas Transcendent skills are something you claim. One of the quirks of how Transcendent skills and Bloodlines interact with each other is that the System doesn't allow Bloodline holders to use their Bloodline to give themselves Transcendent skills, since it's effectively 'cheating'. This is why [Moment of the Primal Hunter] isn't a Transcendent skill, even though it really should be. For a Bloodline holder to create a (Transcendent) rarity skill they have to do so without relying on their Bloodline - this is often nigh impossible, since the Bloodline is so fundamental to the existence of the person who has it. I think Ell'hakan's new delusion skill has a (Unique) rarity instead of a (Transcendent) rarity purely for the reason that it was created by his Bloodline - it really should be a Transcendent skill, but because the System doesn't allow Bloodlines to create (Transcendent) rarity skills it's (Unique) instead.

Björn Hermans

ofc he writes what he wants! i hope so and i like it a lot xD cant help my feelings about that cheeto tho^^ he was too good at making me hate him it seems.. haha

Unlisted Pokémon Hudson

Delulu

Bladewing

Zog mentioned in the discord the majority of Jake's damage so far was because of poison and curse damage meaning the Mark didn't actually have all that much built up

Hayden Leech

So this was more of a bloodline giving a crazy skill like “moment of the primal hunter” than a genuine trancendence?

SilverSentry

I think their relationship might end up somewhat similar to what the primordials have going on

SilverSentry

Nah. He realized he was fucked up and being taken advantage of.

SilverSentry

🤣 wild. He's gonna write what he wants. We all know that at this point. Twists and turns are good for the overall story, or it gets predictable, right?

Rewdan

Thanks Zogarth I’m loving this final fight sequence

Björn Hermans

tftc i love your stuff! but that guy needs to be dead tomorrow this is getting tedious... and a bit unreasonable. he was dead as dead can be but then selfrevives stronger than before? that... is not realy compelling and sets a bad pressedent for the future in my opinion

Ben

Or maybe he can use it to convert the faithful to someone like HM and just hasn’t yet

Endern

That's a valid point.

Oni no chi

The bound god Nevermore to give him at a item that restored it

Ben

I wonder how this would work if he does escape to the HM. He would inspire faith in himself not the HM, so he would be stealing followers on whatever planet he’s on. Almost seems he would be on their hitlist if they weren’t going to try and get a variant of his bloodline

Erik Bekke

Did hake forget he had a mark with a shitton of built up energy from their fight??? Couldn't he have detonated it?

Azazel

“ROUND TWO….. FIGHT!!”

Azazel

…Is it weird that I’m kinda starting to like the idea of William being an ally?

Steven Tuttle

zog. dont live in america so he dont celabrate thanksgiving its strickly a american holaday so thats pretty awsome

Sacchito22

Also, who's to say the watcher isn't the desolate king, who can take up the mantle of antagonist?

Sacchito22

I'm getting some flashbacks to the exalted prima, it kept copying high teir skill after skill till it's soul couldn't keep up and it died by soul popping.

Henscratch

Excellent word smithing…quality almost sounds like the most dreaded Friday-level cliff …um.. Did the pseudo-whatever God child of desolation thing just get a power up? Maybe one-time since most of the source is gone, but still. He might come back to deliver the remaining population from…something equally delusional

Kuniku778

Jake didn't lose a body part yet, fight hasn't even begun.

Z

So the hunter doesn't swiftly kill his prey but waits? Disappointing "and then..." moment. A DBZ style tune in for the next episode.

Kyler

Didn’t his juice get restored by something in the trials? Could have sworn something topped off the tank

David Luper

Ttfc

kingofshibainu

He wasn't even introduced until book 7. That's maybe half the series at this point so he can die. Also pretty clearly this chapter he's basically burning through his life and his planets life in a delusional second phase of self destruction.

IFL

I suppose if you mean chronologically based on in story years (including the fifty in nevermore) he's been the main antagonist since almost the start. Otherwise, he first showed up sometime after Jake got from the Mallific Order to help Carmen track down her family... Book 7 or 8 I think. Either way, it seems long enough. It's a big multiverse with a potentially infinite number of stronger and better opponents than EH... Who surely have reasonable odds of being less annoying.

Kris Piskorski

Damn, then it seems like a lot of people will be pissed when Jacob saves the guy in the last second

shawn B

The next antagonist has been chosen with whomever is helping(?) the child of desolation

liquid_helix

Ready for the nahoom to be dead….

Joshua Kitchen

Who knows, that was 30 years of regular-human-Jake. Maybe whatever his Jake Juice is has a greater rate of regeneration the more powerful he is like most other resources?

kinglemur

Oh God this chapter has me wanting Jake to unleash his bloodline in a controlled manner and destroy ell’hakan

MarineDebris

What do you mean he's been the main antagonist since almost the beginning? Ell'Hakaan didn't show up until book 7, so there's always gonna be plenty for Jake to do, just like in the first six books. The orange asshole needs to die, period.

Keith Douglas

Those sacrificed souls could still be included in the final reckoning of Jake and Villys' ritual. EH used the planetary pylon as a conduit for his happy clappy reaping. The planetary pylon that the Malefic Bro's Ritual is currently wrapped around. All those souls + and bloodline would be a tasty present for the newly awakened Snake God.

Jacob Feliciano

Just then jakes bloodline was so offended that It could be compared to the orange man's that jake blacked out having once again woke up standing above a puddle of person.

CSE1234

Good thing there's a phase two. He hasn't had to push himself yet. (Hasn't used moment of the primal hunter, hasn't been forced to spam eternal shadow to survive or land attacks, basically was beating el hakaan with one katar, I don't think he has used the internal arcane explosion thing, and other things I'm forgetting.) If you think it's dragging remember minaga, sword saint, fallen king, valdemar, and random boss monsters have had Jake in more trouble.

brjenness

give it a moment it will come to you. also the was not as much arcane Tom foolery as I think is possible. not to mention the bloodline.

Azayrian105

And what skill is that?

Andy Swearingen

I wonder if we'll see a full bloodline activation, like when Jake faced Valdimar in the Colosseum of mortals? Only thing I'm worried about there is Jake had like 30 years of Jake juice stored up at that time and he used some in the demon ritual if I remember correctly so he might not have enough to use it "safely". Anyway TFTC

thendavesaid

Because it's a fight to the death for both of them.

RJ

This dude needs to die, cockroach villains are a series end.

Phasmatic7

Thankies

brjenness

I think the first. sage is the developer that created the hit vr game The System.

Reno

Jake, go through another few months of misery for the sake of awesomeness. You can do it. Thump!

AetherBoye

I have 2 new theories, completely unrelated to this chapter. I think there's 2 outcomes to the First Sage saga 1. Jake uses his funky juice to recreate and restore the sage to his full glory Or 2. The First Sage is the originator of the origin juice, and he is also the original titular Primal Hunter

Cnewton84

Once Jake reaches B grade, he will still have 650 levels (3 grades) until godhood. And then more growth after that. 93 universes with trillions of planets, factions, and people. There will always be other enemies to fight and goals to reach. EH was a great enemy and learning experience for Jake, but he needs to defeat him to take control of the Milky Way and for the story to move to its next arc.

Captain Nuclear

He's been the villain for a thousand chapters. It's long enough.

Nate Slusher

Geesh I want that orange dude dead and the next nemesis in the story to appear for Jake to battle with! Great chapter

Klown Keidra

Because a story this long, doesn't really need a single over arching enemy. The arcs of their stories should end, and allow others to start up. He has larger challenges ahead, with plot lines already planted for when he gets stronger, The conflict between The Automa and Ectomorphs, Him butting heads with the Holy Church, The whole Seat of the Exalted Prima World Wonder thing.

Benjamin Mages

I'm not sure why you think this has anything to do with resurrection. The thing that used to be EH did not die and come back, his true soul didn't go anywhere. Heck William died harder than EH did, and Eversmile was able to bring him back.

Straat Junon

Hell no. He has to go.

Razeel Nightfall

Cheeto stains are difficult to clean without leaving residue behind.

Kris Piskorski

why is a lot of people convinced EH will actually die here? He's the main antagonist since almost the beggining and I feel he will continue being one for the rest of the grades culminating in some grand battle close to the end. Otherwise if he dies here whats there really to do, jake will have no real enemies and no challenges ahead

Gavin Wayne Pitcher

good catharsis to know that lies have a cost. XD

Sailesh Kumar Kumar

TFTC

Gonzo

THUMP!

brjenness

let us take a moment to reflect on the skill that Jake has yet to use this fight

Daniel Golding

Not the Planetary Sacrifice Ritual that I was counting on!

Noah

Happy to see a phase 2 on EH.

brjenness

that evil orange jerk just stole our planetary sacrifice . truly evil.

Christian Sullivan

THUMP!!?

Trevor Mergen

Thanks!

ReyWargen

To już się robi zbędnie przeciąganie walki, walka bogów była 3 razy krótsza a tutaj to trwa i trwa... Co najgorsze właśnie zniszczono najlepszy jej element, czyli rytuał poświęcenia planety, co on teraz poświęci Viperowi? Pustą skorupę i trochę dzieci? Na tą chwilę z epickiej walki zapowiada się kompletne rozczarowanie :(

Harry Ganino

For real thought EH was going to launch a spirit bomb

Wraithy

Oh yes, the 11th hour phase 2.

Numbzy

Vilas has stated a few times that he cares about talented people, not dead pieces of rock.

Jordan Rogers

joel southard

Nice thank you for the chapter

doctordirt

This shit is hard and the transformation is pretty cool you must admit

Cole Kerns

I’m inclined to agree with you. I’m not sure if he’s using this second part as a way to have Jake’s bloodline improve/able to use more of it at C-grade or something of the sort but the build up for the arrow was sick, the execution was great…. Now it seems the build up had no impact.

ThyThusThou

Nah, that would have been way to easy. What would be the point of the entire arc if he just ended with a fight that simply. The King of the forest fight had more to it then 'dodge, stealth, arrow' back in the tutorial arc so...

Cody Robinson

Tftc!!

Cody Robinson

Okay I won't lie i was ready for EH to just die until that last line. I honestly didn't think EH would be able to push jake to the point we could see some cool bloodline fuckery. Now im wondering if Jake's bloodline may somehow unlock further thru battle or maybe something related to defeating EH bloodline will allow jake to further his own?

Mat

Phase 2 is necessary. The fight up to now did not even measure up to fight Jake and his Nevermore team had with Minaga. That was a level 275 Minaga while Jake is currently 295 and EH 303.

Seiryus

I like it this way. It shows that all the preparation was not wasted, as he ended up beating the other guy handily, but we will still get a tougher phase two that will force Jake to use Moment and maybe even the juiced up bloodline.

Lillie30

He will die in a minute, but for a C-Grade, a minute is enough time to slaughter an entire planet of D-Grades. With how much power orange fuck is gonna have from the faith energy, he has about the destructive power of an early B-Grade, up until he dies from having that much power flowing through him.

James Faulkner

Tftc!

Mark

That's the point of preparation zogarth set it up for a instant kill That's the reason why I talked about the hype.

T

Kinda Jake wants to sacrifice the world itself to villy. cheto just made them sacrifices to himself quite the different amount of power

Jaydan Man

Jake hasn't used a bunch of trump cards imo. It did feel a bit too easy.

Jaydan Man

A planet with a bunch of people dead people still has value I think. Probably has good records too

Beemoss

Tftc

T

He is the celestial child not a Nahoom what matters a few dead people

Mat

If the Holy Church is watching this one they will be salivating. Does the bargain still have value given the planetary ritual by CC? Looks like Villy will just get a husk of a planet

Noctis Uchiha

So far we had not seen anything regarding the legacy of Yip of Yore. Even after Jake kept calling him the Usurper. So yeah it kinda had show up somehow, even if part of me agrees with you

Mark

normally I don't throw my 2 cents in. But I feel this second phase of the fight is unnecessary, the hype and the preparation of the hunger arow and the execution was perfect if you would've left it there it would've been satisfying. this just feels like you're dragging it out, it doesn't seem there's a real reason for For this transformation.

NovaZero

Shit is now fertiliser.

Jana

„you must die for the transgressions you committed against my world.“ Did he really just say that after he voluntold his whole population to suicide? I guess that’s the level of delulu needed for the system itself to tell you, your delulu.

Jordan Mazza

No this is different. Against the Fallen King Jake just burned every last thing he had to win, all his resources, everything. For Ellhakan he is being burned from too much energy entering his body and soul from the outside, in the form of faith energy.

Jordan joyce

I feel like Friday is gonna suck for the cliff that will no doubt come haha

Samuel Nelson

Bet the system is gonna troll him with that title.

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter. I can’t decide which will be better: will the coming few chapters be an epic battle that will push Jake to new highs, or will all this just be a fancy way for E”H to die in a minute and make me laugh so hard?

Max

Nice chapter! Feels Like a build up / round 2 of Unique Lifeform vs Primal Hunter Mode Jake from the Tutorial. Hopefully WE can get an Eclipse replay with the real moon this time !!

Crjourdan

This is kinda dumb not gonna lie. Blue balling is with him literally a second away from dying just for this to happen. It makes sense but still irritating. This better end with his death lol.

Darshar Griffonmane

Cheeto with the uno reverse on planetary sacrifice! I imagine that what a bunch of readers have said and that he is basically some form of a false god right now and might stay that way cause faith energy is weird. Now we get to see if Jake is pushed to the far extreme of his abilities as he's been pushed fairly hard in this fight but no Moment has popped yet. fantastic chapter!

Justin Moen

Thanks for the chapter!

The Primal Hunter!!!!!! This fight just keeps getting better

Noctis Uchiha

I think it will be more of a demigod situation but still would be a great achievement for C rank

MarineDebris

That would be awesome

Ender419

Thank you for this wonderful chapter!! Looking forward to the conclusion of how this battle ends now with this unexpected development.

Stevean Bozek

Yeah even if he somehow becomes a false god the real Hakkan will be dead and the planet will be up for grabs by Jake's bargain and some lowly C grade false god against Villys influence? Nah, the planet will be toast. RIP to the entire Nahoom race

Andromeda Adams

Oh dang! You can do this, Jake! Wonder if Jake will have to use Jake juice to win? Tyftc!

Namorat

Still not the biggest fan of the idea, but it will probably make Jake use his super power, which is cool ^^

Matthew Paulin

Right? EH is the new Freiza...

Phillip Hazlett

I think he will fully die when the bargain for the planetary pylon goes through because then he doesn't get the massive home field advantage

Dave

Yes

Salguod

Zogarth please have mercy and end this battle. I want to go back to catching up like once a month.

William WIlson

So if I understand right this was a boosting skill that allowed Ell’Hakan to harvest the faith or his faithful and also burn his own soul up. Basically what Jake did to the Fallen King but jakes soul was far more powerful. Jake only need to outlast this boosting skill

Stevean Bozek

Nah, he's going to die I'm sure of it. Though speaking of false gods I do wonder about the child of desolation and where that weirdo went. It'll probably show up later to get put down for good

NickDeck

TFTC!!

John Looney

I think it’s closer to Jake’s final fight to valdimar in the challenge dungeon

Shafan Knight

Holy Hell!!!

hachetnif

I don't think he will die but become a false god

Stevean Bozek

At least Jake's bloodlines final ditch attempt to survive had an actual chance because deep down Jake knew if he won the fight the system would pull him out of the tutorial thanks to his ridiculous intuition and instincts.

khielira

Well damn this is going to be fun. I'm glad this fight is going to be more interesting than Villy and Yip's.

Jayson Legott

Thanks for chapter! Kinda of glad that it didn’t end last chapter! EH has been an antagonist for quite awhile and it seemed like Jake hasn’t had to really push himself yet in the fight. Yeah he’s had to use his arrow and boosting skill but he wasn’t really pushed to his limit. Looking forward to how this ends! Unrelated note first the sword saint and now EH (can never remember how to spell his name), if word gets out people may be lining up to fight him in hopes of creating a transcendent skill 😂

Stevean Bozek

Grand delusion indeed. Even if Ell'Hakkan wins the fight he's dead, his body and soul unable to withstand his own hubris. A fitting end for such a twisted guy.

Quinn

Damn

Lawrence

Yup. Which I smell an upgrade for our Hunter

Arrogant Savant

He's not quite a sympathetic villain but I do feel pity at the level of cruelty El' Hakan displayed to himself and his people.

Cory Sauls

Phase 2 begins! TFTC!

Jason

Big cliffhanger.. must be Friday! ;). Tftc!

NatHimz

With his track record that would be on pace with how things workout for him.

Will Jake become a godslayer for a technicality?

So... We did get a Planetary Sacrifice Ritual. Just not the one we expected.

Christopher Robin Sævre

Is it just me or did orange shit uppgrade to orange little less shit

dragonslaver

100% this fight is gonna spill over to Monday.

Ritsu

A lot of people called it. A last ditch effort by the Bloodline to survive even if the body can't actually take it, like what happened with Jake in the tutorial.
