God's Apostle: Rebirth of a Lazy Genius-Chapter 65 New Gains, With New Challenges

The words which Ethan uttered did not belong to the Atranese or any of Akarxia's currently known languages for that matter.

The words he spoke were from the language of the Gods. The forgotten language that was lost in the cycle of time. The exact one that was said to have been spoken by the Gods.

Ethan had no idea how he was able to speak those words subconsciously but he figured that it might be because of the combination of The Temple and his Ancestral Blessing.

Whatever it was, he did not care anyway because Ethan could feel it. He could feel the mysterious strength of his blessing coursing through his veins. The experience was very magical indeed.

The bluish-white particles that represented the Elements of 'The Cold Family' of Elements consisting of Frost, Ice, and Snow immediately appeared around Ethan's feet.

Whether it be because of his natural affinity, the language of gods, or the temple—but his 'Particles' were way purer, potent, and in turn more powerful than Alier or Albaer's bloodline making his own superior to his predecessors.

Soon after the words left Ethan's mouth just as he was about to let go, a surge of particles carrying mysterious energies of nature gushed out from him rapidly converging below his feet.

In little to no time, the water froze and a solid surface made of ice was made just a few inches below his feet amidst all the water.

Without wasting a single moment, Ethan quickly pushed himself upwards using the ice slab below as he used the surface like a stepping stone to prop himself up.

"haaa… Haaaa…!" Ethan coughed and gasped for breath jerking his stiff and numb hands.

"Crack!"

Without getting any chances to marvel at his newfound abilities, Ethan heard sounds of cracking from all over the place. He saw after looking around that the entire frozen lake was slowly starting to collapse as new cracks were appearing by the second.

"Fuck it!"

Ethan cursed in frustration as he began running forward hoping to cover the remaining distance before the ice cracked completely.

But he soon realized that the ice would certainly break before reaching the other side of the lake as large cracks could be seen all around him on the verge of expanding further.

Stretching the very limits of his consciousness, Ethan used his Blessing once again. However, this time on a much larger level.

His Ancestral Blessing quickly began working to mend the rapidly forming cracks all around him by creating new ice but it was no use. The little ice that he made just simply wasn't as strong as to mend the cracks fast enough.

Suddenly Ethan had a crucial epiphany as he was running. He realized that his blessing did not only limit to mere Frost Element but also covered various Aspects related to it. Like an Ecosystem, everything was interconnected.

Ice needed water to form, Frost needed Ice to form and the manipulation of cold was crucial as well. Ethan realized that different Elements and Blessings were at the very core, connected to the laws of nature itself. He noticed that the Blessing used the fundamental basics of physics to at least some extent.

The so-called Elemental Blessings of Water, Fire, Wind Etc, were deeply connected with nature and so Ethan realized that his knowledge of physics and science from modern-day Earth would be greatly advantageous to him. He even cursed himself for not realizing it sooner.

Just as the realization hit him, a new string of words appeared in his mind. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"Aham Nirmaan Karosmi - Shaitya!" Ethan yelled out as once again the powers of the Ancestral Blessing rushed out from his body, this time with a fresh glimmer.

New cracks suddenly stopped forming as the existing ones began closing slowly. Ethan's Ancestral Blessing had reinforced the Ice with his power which gave him enough time to make it to the other side of the lake.

Ethan collapsed on the ground from overly straining himself to limits as soon as he made it to the solid land covered in lush snow. Soon after, the effects of his blessing wore off as the frozen lake broke apart with a loud crashing sound.

This incident had sucked a large portion of Ethan's already depleted strength and stamina but he was not going to give up just yet.

He had now gotten that scent of power, he needed to cross all the limits and make use of every moment. That's what it meant by not sitting on a fence.

Ethan once again resumed his hellish journey as he reminded himself just how close he was to death. Without Afriel of Albert, he would have no chance of survival, "Three things I hate the most. debt, disturbance during my sleep, and over-reliance." He muttered with exhaustion as he headed toward where he was left off last time.

After some more stumbling, collapsing, and rising again. Ethan looked very roughed up covered in bruises and small wounds as he walked forward limply.

The same sort of soul-crushing pressure was once again making his back bend over; however, at the same time, Ethan was gaining more and more understanding of his Blessing with each step.

The terrain was getting hard to tread just like last time. From snowy plains that were relatively easy to the high grounds filled with hills and ridges, Ethan had traveled far enough already.

? His destination now was the peak of the mountain cliff which he was climbing up with great difficulty just like the last time. His condition this time though, was even worse.

But despite all that, after countless hours of strenuous ascent—Ethan reached the top of the mountain cliff as he looked ahead at the beautiful scenery in front of him.

He was quite high up on the mountain at around 1200 ft, there was a direct vertical steep slope ahead of him down the edge.

Down below he could see an open field down the cliff and even further there was also a forest full of trees covered in snow. Beyond that, there was a snowy valley and then his final destination which was the tallest mountain around.

"W.. Wait… How… Am I.. Supposed to… get down from… Here!?" Ethan muttered in a faint, rough, muddled voice while gasping for breath looking down from the very edge of the cliff as his sight flickered dimly at first and then blackened completely.
