While Yumi began to talk with the snakes in secret, Michu wasn't lazing around, and he moved across many villages and cities.
Although Yumi had told him about the snake spies and people who might eye the monkeys, Michu couldn't stop himself from saving them.
He was genuinely worried for the monkeys, and he did his utmost best to change their lifestyle.
After three weeks, Michu was spotted by the snake group.
That was a group of women with the snake pets like Yumi frequently used.
Their bodies were scantily covered with flashy and small armor garments, their bottom halves in snake tail form. Their human side was beautiful and alluring, pulling male species with their charm and beautiful eyes.
Michu was angered and scared that they would notify the snake goddess, so he felt the opposite.
He balled his hands into fists, then rushed forward!
"This monkey isn't affected by the goddess' poison?" One of them reacted belatedly.
The rest followed and replied, "He must be strong, then... And what he did probably soothed the queen's poison. A threat!"
They immediately deemed Michu a threat, but even without it, the battle was unavoidable.
Michu's staff was long since in his hand, and he extended his bonk toward all of them! In a sweep, the incubus monke slapped the heads of those beautiful women!
All of them reacted with a mixture of pain and pleasure.
Hence, they sounded as such, "AhhhnnnnN!"
Their reactions shocked the monkeys as it didn't seem like these women minded their prince's slaps?
"Wait... What?" They asked themselves.
To not lose any honor and pride, the snake women threw their tails and poisons at Michu. However, even the inexperienced warrior would be able to see that all of this was a facade! Those attacks were even worse than amateurish ones!
They just responded not to get their pride hurt!
Michu missed it in the heat of the battle, and he just slapped them again.
"AhhhhhnnnnN!"
"Yes!"
One of them reacted differently, and she shouted 'Yes', which shocked the rest, including Michu!
He landed on the ground and looked at the snake women with big eyes...
"Ah... I understand..." Michu understood his bonk's power combined with the incubus race and looked down with a blush on his face.
From this moment onward, the monke gathered some new 'snake' believers, but the way he did it made him not like it at all.
-
After Michu seized a group of snake women, he used them to assault other snake groups. To his surprise and advantage, all enemies were women, and he casually beat them.
In fact, Michu wasn't just beating, but he was also receiving new power within this land!
His influence spread across the whole monkey god's country border!
Since his bananas herbs were already spread around, all Michu had left to do was to go deeper and eventually seize the throne.
He did it slowly and matched his march with Yumi's progress.
After she gave him the green light, Michu arrived in the capital.
"You seem new..." The monkey guard said while looking at Michu.
There were days where all monkeys gathered in the capital, and with their memory, the guards have remembered everyone through countless years!
Michu was an adult, and should he be the person who ignores their tradition, then the guard would personally question him and punish him!
Even in their worst situation, the guards diligently followed their principles and fulfilled their job faithfully.
Michu laughed, "Yes! I am here to fulfill KongFu's will!"
"What did you say-" The guard wanted to shout as their old god's name couldn't be said so lightly. However, as he looked deeper into Michu's eyes, his body suddenly felt weaker, and his heart began to beat with deference.
That kind of feeling wasn't foreign to him...
"Who might you be, respected?" The monkey guard's stance changed, and he personally guided Michu to the temple.
The Monkey God's Temple was the Monkey God's Home and his office all in one!
"I have been chosen as the successor by KongFu's will! And he deemed me worthy already so that I will do it!" Michu exuberantly replied, leaving the guard confused.
However, as they reached the temple, the whole temple shook!
The worthy successor had arrived!
The current Monkey God felt his divinity leaving his body. After the momentary stupor melted, he followed the divine flow to the outside!
His elders and all highly influential people did the same!
As they left, they noticed the handsome monkey their eyes had never laid on. Such handsome fella surely would've been coveted by monke ladies should he come from their capital or other tribes.
But the origins didn't matter.
What mattered was that the hope had finally descended upon him, and their esteemed KongFu had found his successor!
"Monkey God..."
"Monkey God..."
"The Next Monkey God!"
In the deluge of shouts and happiness, Michu accepted the divine energy! He felt drawn by it toward the throne, and so he did follow it wholeheartedly.
Within the temple, Michu's eyes landed on the throne.
An empty throne with even more energy hidden within!
The previous former one couldn't use this energy as he was unworthy!
But as Michu sat down on it, he received countless messages.
[You have become The Monkey God!]
[The Rightful Successor has descended upon this world!]
The whole capital shook with the might of the new god!
At this moment, Michu could feel the belief of every monke, even those who hadn't seen him yet. He felt their relief and hope for a better future!
And he swore to bring that future!
At the same time, Michu felt like the level didn't matter anymore.
He was divine!
He was The Monkey God!
Of course, there were countless thrones in this world, even the ancient and forgotten ones. It wasn't like Michu was suddenly the strongest, but he was the strongest player at this time! He took the throne and the step forward then!
"She is coming."
The tension suddenly rose!
