Mason's mind became numb for a few seconds before awakening his Cheat Ability, as he began to recall all of his memories and the people he loved and wanted to protect.
He couldn't let himself get killed here at all.
He regrated the decision of even trying to reason with Ervas and Veronica and to please Luca's desires for a peaceful alliance.
Mason had already considered that he would never understand Veronica and Ervas thought processes, they were simply way too chaotic and strange, almost grotesque, even. It was as if they were not really former humans but something completely different that has taken over their former human souls.
He considered that perhaps what Bestellen did to her was the right thing, as she was truly an insane monster, completely disregarding the idea that it could have been Bestellen himself who made her that way.
Even after everything that had transpired between Bestellen and Future Kritias, the foolish Mason still believed that Bestellen was not completely wrong and that he simply needed to be calmed down and talked out of the insanity he had delved into after taking over all the divinities of most of his siblings.
So, after seeing how monstrous, aberrant, and utterly incomprehensible were Ervas and Veronica (in his eyes), he couldn't help but find that Bestellen was simply doing this against her previous life to stop her from becoming this thing, but that at the end he didn't manage to stop her on time due to Hekaton's meddling with things through his stupid Samsara System.
To resume his thought process, Mason believed that Bestellen did the right thing against Veronica's previous life as Anastacia because he believed that Bestellen predicted the hidden grotesqueness of her soul and had decided to destroy it before she was to unleash her powers… but at the end, Bestellen was not able to completely destroy her, and as the vicious fiend she was to Mason's eyes, she survived even by being split on two and simply became two different and aberrant creatures, like a vicious bacteria that could die even if you were to cut it on half.
And as he was overwhelmed by Ervas powers, a burning desire to end this malevolent fiend and exert justice against Bestellen's insanity provoked (somehow) by her monstrous inner grotesqueness, Mason suddenly awakened his powers.
He began to blame everything that happened on their past lives to these two to appease his mind of any guilt and even blamed Eustace's spirit being broken to the treacherous and aberrant Demon Queen's schemes.
"I can't believe how foolish I have been… In the end, you two were the reason everything went downhill! You faulted for everything going wrong! Bestellen-sama should have really ended you!" he roared, as Ervas heard his anger from above.
As Mason unleashed his power and Ervas defended himself from it, Mason saw what happened through his System window.
[The [Gravity Controller: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Gravity God: Level 1] Skill!]
Mason smiled confidently as he unleashed his newly awakened powers, blasting away anything around him, from trees to little animals, while only protecting the weakened Lucas at his side!
BOOOOOOOM!
An enormous crater emerged on place, surprising Ervas a bit, as he was with Jason and the rest around him.
Mason glanced above him as he noticed Ervas who was now with more people around him, all of them were floating at his side and looked utterly demonic to his eyes.
He had been completely brainwashed by Bestellen at this point, and his entire thought process was the complete opposite of Ervas, his guidance was only making him hate Ervas more than guiding him.
"Everything is your fault! We should have found a way to destroy your soul, you are a monster! You are not the same woman we knew! You are not the same human we knew! Bestellen-sama was always right about all of this… you are all aberrant fiends!" roared Mason, suddenly flying towards Ervas at great speeds!
"So he had gone completely nuts," thought Ervas, as he covered Jason with many enchantments in a millisecond.
Jason couldn't let this bastard badmouth his beloved son any longer, as the father of the half-demon rushed down below in an instant.
"A mere human? You are helping this demonic monster?! Get off my way!" said Mason, charging his gravitational forces all around him until they became an enormous dense mass of energy, like floating, purple-colored plasma!
"Who… are you calling a monster?! THAT'S MY SON, AND HIS NAME IS ERVAS IGNI!" roared Jason, raising his enormous, cursed Hammer as he clenched his teeth furiously, his entire body was engulfed in an aura of searing flames as if he had become the embodiment of a furious fire god!
"GRRAAAAAAAAHHH!" roared Jason, completely losing it over sheer anger, as his mace began to flow with magma and flames of the depths of hell!
The enormous quantities of purple-colored high-density gravitational forces which were compacted into a large beam impacted Jason's mace, as an enormous explosion unfolded!
BOOOOOM!
"Hah, that's what happens for trying to- Eh?"
Mason had thought that Jason was done for after receiving his powerful gravitational attack, but as the explosion unfolded, two seconds after he saw Jason going down while pushing his mace downwards, pushing the gravitational forces condensed into a plasma-like substance with sheer and monstrous strength!
"W-What? That's impossible! You should… a mere human shouldn't be able to fight against gravity like that!!!" said Mason, he was completely dumbfounded.
"I am not a mere human… I am my son's father!" roared Jason, his eyes flashing with crimson flames as he impacted Mason like a blazing meteor!
BOOOOOOOM!!!
The impact was strong enough that Mason's defenses immediately shattered, and he felt several of his bones break the moment he received the attack!
"Nnnngggrrrrraaaaaaaggghhh…!"
Mason groaned in agony as he was completely covered with flames that began to burn through his skin and flesh!
Jason continued hitting him as he fell, his enormous blazing mace hit Mason's face several times mercilessly, as he tried to shield himself with barriers of gravity for them to be destroyed easily as his arms were crushed and torn apart by Jason's sheer power!
"DIE!" roared Jason.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"NNNNGGYAAAAAAAHHH…!"
