NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45: Chapter 44 – A Glance Toward the Heavens
The celestial realm was in chaos.
The gods, who had once stood tall as the supreme rulers of existence, now trembled in silence. The ritual, their last desperate attempt, had failed.
No—it hadn't just failed.
It had been erased. Like it never even existed.
The Supreme God, the being who had presided over the divine order since the dawn of time, stared blankly at the void where their power had once gathered. His hands shook.
"Impossible…"
The God of War clenched his fists, his divine aura flickering in frustration. "He didn't even fight back. He just… waved his hand."
The Goddess of Fate collapsed to her knees, her golden eyes wide with terror. "No one should have that kind of power."
The silence was unbearable. The truth was undeniable.
Frank Luminous was beyond them. Beyond the gods. Beyond existence itself.
And worst of all?
They had provoked him.

Mortal Realm – Frank's Estate
Frank sighed, shaking his head as he sat back down. "They never learn."
He reached for another snack, popping it into his mouth as he grabbed a new book from the stack beside him. He was just about to resume reading when—
A voice called out.
"Frank Luminous."
Frank's golden eyes flickered as he turned his head ever so slightly.
A rift had opened in the air, and from it, a figure descended.
Unlike the arrogant gods who sat upon their thrones, this one knelt before him.
Frank's gaze was calm. "You're different from the others."
The figure didn't respond immediately. Instead, they lowered their head further. "I have not come to fight."
Frank raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you here?"
The figure's hands trembled. "To beg."
Frank tilted his head, intrigued. "Oh?"
The figure took a deep breath. "Please… do not destroy the heavens."
A moment of silence passed.
Then—Frank chuckled.
