Golden Fox with System

"Don't leave the Workshop! If you get anywhere near me, it will only make the Heavenly Tribulation worse!" Theo said in a rush. He could see their anxiety, and he was afraid they would do something like attempting to face the Heavenly Tribulation with him.

"That's… okay, we're rooting for you! I'm sure that since it's Theo, there's nothing you can't face!" Yuki said encouragingly.

"Thanks," Theo said with a smile.

"BOOOOOM!"

As soon as they finished speaking, a thunderous noise came from the sky. It was accompanied by a heavenly, golden serpentine lightning bolt that flew toward Theo.

"I can do it!" Theo muttered with a serious expression, watching the golden lightning coming towards him. His heart couldn't keep itself from trembling though since he had died to lightning in his past life…

"No! This time, I won't die!" Theo said firmly in his heart. Unleashing his Royal Lineage aura, Theo became enveloped in a golden cloak. Along with it, he also used True Lightning Mana to surround himself for further protection. Soon, crackling sounds of orange sparks were produced.

The current Theo looked like a mini version of the sun itself. Even the temperature around him within a kilometre became noticeably warmer.

His aura expanded as Theo braced himself to face the celestial golden bolt that was now a matter of feet away from him.

* BOOOOM *

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Along with the loud burst of heavenly golden lightning falling upon him, Theo's deafening shout was heard all throughout Ravena. It was so loud that it startled everyone that heard or saw the lightning falling on the orphanage.

The strongest of the Sects, upon seeing this, were frightened to their very soul. They could imagine how powerful this lightning must be, and very much doubted if they could survive it themselves.

"Jerrar, can you feel his presence?" The Snow Lake Sect girl asked.

"No, I can't." The Beastman named Jerrar said, shaking his head.

"Even with your sensory ability? He can't be detected…?" She murmured in surprise.

"As expected from someone who is going through the tribulation, he has his means of hiding."

"Yes, it's on another level…" agreed Jerrar dreamily. Being in the Spiritual Realm is something they could only dream of ever attaining.

"Theo!"

"Daddy! Hold tight!"

They started screaming loudly as they were all distressed, watching Theo scream loudly in distress. And since it was all a flash of lightning, they couldn't see what exactly was going on. They could only see Theo surrounded by crackling golden sparks, along with his aura.

However, perhaps because Theo focused his aura's strength to defend himself, he was still not being overwhelmed by the lightning.

Gritting his teeth tightly, holding on to all the pain he was feeling, Theo muttered under his breath, "I… I'm fine… don't worry."

Despite saying it quietly, it was loud enough for them to hear him. They too could barely contain their urge to rush out to help Theo tackle it together. Yet, they knew that if they did, it would only make things worse for Theo.

After the sparks finally dispersed, all Theo's flesh was breaking apart, and the shiny golden bones of his arms, legs and chest were visible. You could even count his ribs. Some of his bones were also dislocated due to the immense pressure. Although Theo's bones were resilient, they still could not resist the continual stress of the heavenly golden lightning. His clothes were totally torn because of it, leaving him completely naked.

Theo crawled over and approached the Dimensional Bag he left beside him. Taking out a healing potion, he quickly downed two of them immediately.

Seeing that Theo was recovering fast, they sighed with relief but knew it was not over yet.

They didn't spare the time even to blush at Theo's nakedness since they were far more concerned for his well-being to ever care about that.

Yuki, who remembered something, suddenly yelled out, "Theo, wear your level 5 armour! With it you can face this tribulation safer, right?"

"Huh… really… I never really got to use it, so I totally forgot about it…" Theo said, while nodding. He was glad that he believed he could face this tribulation.

Soon, a golden armour appeared and covered his entire body. From his feet to his head, he was wearing a golden full-plate armour set with a pair of golden ears. If before he looked like a version of a small sun, now he looked like the very sun itself!

By the time he wore the full lightning armour, along with the orange glow, his defensive power had increased by a large margin.

​ *BOOOOOOM*

Soon, the next heavenly golden lightning was just beginning to form and strike once more. But now, Theo was even stronger than the first by at least an order of magnitude, so Theo wasn't afraid this time. Well, he knew that with his current armour, he could easily overcome it. And this lightning bolt was coming at him with the shape of a giant snake.

Space ripped apart like paper wherever it came in contact with the giant snake's body. It was like it was looking upon the world with disdain.

"ROARRRRR!"

The giant snake let out a sharp roar, scaring everyone in Ravena City. After seeing this colossal snake coming down from the sky, they began to think it was a divine punishment they were receiving. Yet, some of the on-lookers had access to the internet and started searching for answers. What exactly was going on? They soon got the answer… and what they found scared them even more.

But deep down. These people held a fair bit of excitement in their hearts. They knew that they might not see such a sight ever again in their lives.

Theo raised his head high and stared at the gigantic lightning snake of heavenly lightning descending from the heavens…

*BOOOOOOM*

The Gigantic Snake descended upon the earth, hitting Theo's head hard. A pillar of golden lightning was formed around Theo. But unlike before, Theo managed to grit his teeth and endure all the pain. Though he felt a slight numbness in his body, it was nothing he couldn't bear now.

"HAHAHAHA! I'll definitely be able to get through this now!" Theo shouted loudly and firmly stated in his heart, "This time, I won't die from the lightning!"
