The Celestial Player: Conquering the Tower of Gods

Chapter 20: The King's Judgment

The Arena of Kings had never witnessed a battle like this.

Jin stood face-to-face with Nero the Invincible, the unbreakable Rank #1 fighter who had never tasted defeat.

The atmosphere was suffocating. Every spectator held their breath. Even the top-ranked challengers in the VIP section had gone silent.

And then—

> [Final Skill Unlocked: Titan's Judgment]

An unavoidable, absolute attack that guarantees victory.

The ground trembled as Nero's body radiated pure golden energy. His armor glowed, his aura expanded, and the sheer force of his power warped the space around him.

Jin's instincts screamed danger.

> [WARNING: UNBLOCKABLE ATTACK DETECTED.]

[SURVIVAL RATE: 0%.]

Jin exhaled, his smirk never fading.

"Perfect."

If it was unavoidable—then he just had to break it.

The Final Clash Begins

Nero raised his hand, the very air around him cracking. His voice was steady.

"This is where it ends, Jin Seol."

And then—he moved.

In an instant, Nero vanished from sight.

A golden explosion engulfed the entire arena as he descended from above, his fist carrying the weight of absolute destruction.

Jin felt time slow down.

> [Skill Evolution: Celestial Breaker → Godslayer Mode]

Allows the user to shatter even absolute attacks for a limited time.

Jin's eyes burned with golden-red energy.

He activated every skill at once.

And then—he punched forward.

> [Final Skill Unlocked: Starfall Annihilation]

A technique that defies fate itself, destroying even the impossible.

Their attacks collided.

BOOOOOOOOM!

A titanic shockwave erupted, tearing through the arena, splitting the sky, and sending out a force so strong that the very barriers of Elysium cracked.

For a moment—there was nothing but blinding light.

Then, when the dust settled—

Only one warrior remained standing.

The system's voice echoed through the ruined battlefield.

> [Victor: Jin Seol!]

[NEW RANK: #1 – KING OF THE ARENA.]

The crowd erupted into madness.

Nero, now on one knee, let out a deep breath. For the first time in his life… he had lost.

Slowly, he looked up at Jin and… smiled. "I see now… you are worthy."

Jin smirked, extending his hand. "Took you long enough."

Nero took it, standing tall.

And just like that—the reign of the Arena had changed.

> [Phase One of Elysium's Selection: 50% Complete.]

And the real climb was about to begin.
