My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2816

“No! No!” Faced with impending defeat, Power was consumed with boundless rage. “I absolutely can't lose! I'm Power!”

However, his fury did not seem to evoke any sympathy from the divine forces. Instead, the godly power within him continued to dissipate, and soon, even the energy surrounding his body was about to be extinguished.

“You’ve lost, Power. This is the final outcome,” Nash said. Although Sven had interfered in Power's last attack against him, it had still dealt some damage to him. If it were not for Clint and Thresmund, he would not have recovered so quickly.

Seeing Power seemingly resigning himself to defeat, Sven considered delivering the final blow. Regardless of the situation, Sven could not afford to leave a threat like Power unchecked. Yet things were not that simple.

As Sven approached Power, he suddenly noticed something unusual. “Everyone, stay away from him!” he shouted, but it was too late.

In the next instant, flames erupted skyward, consuming everything around the palace. Before Nash could react, Power had already slammed him hard against the ground.

Even as Thresmund used his Juggernaut form to strike back, it did not affect Power. He also noticed a scorching force clinging to Power’s body.

“That isn’t true energy! Get back, quickly!”

The next moment, Thresmund’s body began to burn. Nash quickly activated the All Souls Token to counter the flames, thus saving Thresmund’s life. However, Thresmund could no longer gather true energy inside himself.

“W-What is happening?”

Clint had no choice but to teleport Thresmund to his side. The group gathered, staring at Power, who was now radiating intense energy in shock.

Power had transformed into this fearsome, self-destructive force.

There was no other way; the four knew that their only option was to stall for time.

Just then, as Clint and Nash prepared to use their true energy, Sven quickly stopped them. "No! Remember what happened to Thresmund earlier. Your attacks would carry your true energy. Even if they make contact with Power’s body now, it’ll simply rebound."

"So, what do we do now?" Clint asked, frustrated. "We can't just stand here and let him wreak havoc!"

At that moment, even Sven found himself at a loss.
