Chapter 5: Ethan's Stand

**After Finishing the Call with Demon Queen Moanie, Andrew Continued His Persuasion**

"Demon Queen Moanie is the greatest deity, the wisest sage, and the most beautiful queen in the universe. Moanie's fall and freedom are the greatest philosophies in the known universe. If you submit to Queen Moanie, not only can you do whatever you desire, but you will also be granted eternal life. All you need to do is pledge loyalty to one woman, our queen, Moanie!"

Andrew's fervent and reverent speech seemed to carry a certain magical force, continuously assaulting the minds of Nicholas and his team. They couldn't comprehend what Andrew was talking about or who this Moanie was. But from his words, it seemed that this Moanie was some kind of god? And the concept of the "known universe" was new to them.

"The most crucial question is, we can understand his language. Are we hallucinating from being beaten too badly, or…?"

Nicholas looked around at his teammates, who were all exchanging equally bewildered looks. Through their silent communication, Nicholas confirmed that they could indeed understand Andrew's words.

Looking at the incessantly speaking Andrew, Nicholas felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head. Raising his long sword, he pointed it at Andrew.

"No matter what you say, my answer will always be the same."

Understanding Nicholas's intention, his team roared in unison with red faces, "Fight to the death!!!"

Their roar pierced the sky, followed by an even louder shout from above.

"For Nova, we fight to the death!!!"

A black figure, like a lightning bolt, appeared in front of Andrew in mid-air, accompanied by a one-meter-long straight sword with a silver blade and intricate golden engravings.

Andrew, who had been lost in praising Moanie, was about to mock these primitives for daring to shout "fight to the death" at him, when his gene engine issued a warning.

"Warning! High-energy reaction approaching at high speed!!!"

Before Andrew could react, a silver blade came at his head. Instinctively, he tilted his head to the side.

"Slash!"

The sound of a blade cutting into flesh echoed. An ugly black arm was severed.

"Dark Silver Weapon!!!"

As the blade cut into Andrew's arm, his pupils dilated in shock. But Ethan didn't stop; after severing the arm, he delivered a spinning kick, sending Andrew crashing to the ground, creating another crater with the explosion.

Ethan, clad in a black battle suit with golden accents, slowly approached the crater, his right hand holding the silver sword. This was the experimental battle suit made from a new alloy of unknown metal and other elements, created using nanotechnology. The unknown metal could absorb energy and release it at critical levels, much like Marvel's vibranium armor, but with excellent energy conductivity and incredible hardness, retaining its original properties. Because of its black color, the alloy was named Black Gold.

Ethan's experimental Black Gold battle suit, while still in the testing phase, was both tough and powerful. Five micro cold fusion reactors provided energy, and the Black Gold alloy's energy absorption properties allowed the suit to release immense power with each attack, aided by Aiden.

"Demon, Moanie, and a Dark Silver Weapon?" Ethan mumbled to himself as he approached the crater, then suddenly realized.

With Aiden monitoring everything, Andrew's words hadn't escaped Ethan's notice. When he first saw Andrew on the screen, he felt a vague familiarity, as if he had seen him before. When Andrew mentioned Moanie and shouted about the Dark Silver Weapon, Ethan connected the dots.

"I see, I've crossed into an anime world or a parallel universe?" Ethan, a fan of the anime "Super God Academy," remembered the general plot and basic settings but knew he couldn't entirely rely on anime logic in this real world. Shaking off his doubts, he focused on protecting what he loved most, this place he had fought for.

As the smoke cleared, Andrew, clutching his shoulder, glared up at Ethan. Meanwhile, Ethan looked down at Andrew.

"BOSS, the hardness, energy absorption, and energy release efficiency of the experimental Type-1 kinetic diffusion battle suit did not meet expectations. Preliminary analysis indicates an alloy ratio error, requiring recalculations."

"I know, but for now, it's already impressive. We'll address other issues after this battle. Scan the target's condition and analyze the intelligence."

"Understood, BOSS!"

"Damn, ran into a tough one. Without a gene engine, he has near third-generation strength and speed, and he wields a Dark Silver Weapon. This won't be easy."

Andrew, sweating, watched Ethan in the air. "I can't face him head-on. My flame blade can't withstand the Dark Silver Weapon."

Summoning his flame blade from the dark dimension, Andrew prepared for another clash. Both moved simultaneously, their battle resuming in a blur of motion. Ethan targeted Andrew's head, but Andrew, prepared, dodged effortlessly.

"BOSS, analysis shows the target's strength and speed exceed yours, and it's absorbing unknown energy. Data insufficient for analysis."

"He's absorbing dark energy to replenish himself. He must have just finished a battle and is low on energy. A true super warrior, stronger than me."

"Aiden, we can't underestimate these super warriors. Nova's gravity gives us superior physical strength, but it's nothing compared to these technological creations!"

Realizing he was in the Super God universe, Ethan connected many ideas, answering numerous questions. Nova's gravity gave its people superior strength, and Ethan, through years of intense training, matched a second-generation super warrior even without the suit.

After a brief clash, they separated. Andrew inspected his flame blade, noticing fine cracks and frowned deeply.

"BOSS, according to my calculations, the enemy's weapon cannot penetrate the Type-1 kinetic diffusion battle suit."

"His weapon must be a flame blade. If it can't penetrate my suit, that's good news!"

Hearing Aiden's report, Ethan smiled grimly. Charging at Andrew, he swung his sword, ignoring Andrew's attacks. Andrew, taken aback, slashed at Ethan, only to find his blade ineffective against the suit, which even began to repair itself.

"My flame blade can't damage this suit?" Andrew, horrified, realized the tide had turned.

"Didn't expect someone on this planet to be so strong, suppressing Andrew!" In the clouds above, Angel Rena, eyes glowing white, watched with interest, accompanied by Angel Moanie.

"No signs of gene modification, no dark dimension, a physique rivaling a second-generation super warrior, and an energy-absorbing suit, almost third-generation level. Fascinating!"

"This man is filled with a determination to sacrifice everything for his civilization… His actions and thoughts are on par with Queen Keisha…"

"He has a god-like nature… Although he lacks super genes, his divinity surpasses all…"

A mysterious gleam flashed in Rena's eyes.

"However, eliminating Andrew without using powerful weapons might be challenging. Let's go, Moanie. It's our turn!"

Meanwhile, Ethan continued battling Andrew. Although he suppressed Andrew, the demon still stood strong. Realizing he couldn't defeat Ethan, Andrew considered retreating to recharge before returning.

After another exchange, they separated. Ethan, frustrated, realized the need for drastic measures.

Suddenly, a delicate hand rested on his shoulder.

"Young one, you seem anxious!"

Ethan instinctively swung his sword but hit nothing. Turning to the voice, he saw a figure in white wings, golden hair, silver armor, and a short skirt.

The figure was stunning, but Ethan, with his life experiences, was unmoved.

"Help me? How?"

The figure, surprised by Ethan's lack of reaction, wondered about her charm.

"By helping you defeat the demon and stealing your heart!" she said, moving towards Andrew.

"Who are you?"

The figure smiled, captivating the world. "Angel, Rena!"

Andrew, still in a daze from his conversation with Demon Queen Moanie, continued to try to entice Nicholas and his team with grand promises of power and freedom under Moanie's rule. "Demon Queen Moanie is the greatest deity, the wisest sage, and the most beautiful queen in the universe. Moanie's fall and freedom are the greatest philosophies in the known universe. If you submit to Queen Moanie, not only can you do whatever you desire, but you will also be granted eternal life. All you need to do is pledge loyalty to one woman, our queen, Moanie!"
