Chapter 92: Repeat the words

The Gorilla-Horse shook its head as it felt its autonomy return to its body. It beat its giant hands on its head trying to wake itself up from its stupor.

Razer witnessed as his loyal mount swayed back and forth, taking his chariot with it.

But he couldn't even think about his Canzer going wild because all he could focus on was Atlan's defiance.

Atlan wasn't affected even though he used his 'Word of the All-Father'. That was impossible. After all, it was a mutation with a 7-star rarity—it was supposed to have authority and dominion over all humans with a lower bloodline than him.

Is he just that good of a shot? Razer shook his head. Atlan was a porter. He didn't have a sharpshooter LifeSkill that helped him shoot with insane accuracy even in the face of a disturbance.

He started to list out the explanations for how Atlan did it.

Does he have a greater power realm than me? But as far as Razer knew, the Genesian porter was only a 2nd stage Student. And for Atlan to resist the 'Word of the All-Father', he would have to be two stages higher than Razer, which was the 6th stage. Atlan wasn't that strong.

The only other explanation Razer could think of was…

Does he have a better bloodline than me?

That was the only way that someone could perfectly resist a mutation that was given to him by the All-Father, Zeus.

Only those with a Genus greater than 7-star rarity could have the authority and superiority to ignore his words. That was the one weakness of this mutation. Even if Razer was one realm higher than someone, as long as they had a higher rarity bloodline, then they would be able to resist the 'Word of the All-Father.'

The only problem with this theory was that Razer would have to believe that a mere porter had an 8-star rarity Genus.

Even he, a genius S class talent from the Metropolis full of Gods and Goddesses willing to give out powers, was only given a 7-star Genus in his Draft. They said that he would have to prove that he was a True Hero or perform the 12 labors for him to gain a better Genus from Zeus himself.

So, it was hard to believe that a Porter was able to prove himself as a hero so early in his career.

Wait…there's one other possibility.

"Are you from the Unclaimed Lands?" Razer asked.

Atlan looked at him and didn't know why he was asking. But, he still answered truthfully.

"I am."

I knew it! Since he's from the Unclaimed Lands, he probably stumbled upon an Abandoned Territory. That's where he got the 8-star Genus!

An Abandoned Territory was a place that was once inhabited by a God but was abandoned due to some circumstance. Usually, it was because a God subordinated themselves towards a more powerful God and moved to their Territory.

Usually, the remnants of this abandoned territory were filled with powerful treasures and relics that were abandoned by their citizens. But, the gods themselves could also leave behind an inheritance for others to take.

Hephaestus once had his own territory but moved back to Olympus thousands of years ago. I heard that some scavengers found an 8-star Genus from the Abandoned Territory!

"What did you find there? Whose did you find?" Razer asked Atlan.

But Atlan just tilted his head. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Razer scoffed. He expected Atlan to lie because most scavengers who found an Abandoned Territory tend to keep it a secret so that they could get all of the treasures for themselves.

"Don't worry, I won't steal it."

"What are you talking about?" Atlan was truly clueless, but Razer still thought that he was bluffing.

"Whatever. I've never faced someone like you before. Star Porter, how apt. Fighting you is more exciting than fighting those other geniuses who claim they're superior."

Despite Razer putting all of his attention towards Atlan, Atlan was instead focusing on Razer's Gorilla-Horse that was going out of control.

It was hitting its chest out of frustration, howling at nothing but the air. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Close!...Close!....Long to Belong!....'

It was spouting the same nonsense as the horde of Canzers behind. Atlan was starting to piece together that these monsters wanted to get somewhere together. However, he didn't know where that was or why they were doing it.

He wanted to talk to the Gorilla-Horse and interrogate it for information, unfortunately, his 'Canzer Tongue Mutation' only allowed him to understand them, not speak with them.

'AWU AWU!'

The Gorilla-Horse ran towards the buildings on the sidewalk to try and crash Razer's bronze chariot. But even in the face of danger, the Olympian man didn't seem to worry about it.

"I can't wait to exchange punches with you!" screamed Razer.

It was only then that he finally looked towards his chaotic mount. He opened his mouth and used his 'Word of the All-Father'.

Submit to the reins

As soon as the Canzer heard those words in its mind, it suddenly stopped shaking its head and returned to being a loyal steed.

Atlan heard its repeated cries turn silent as if it no longer had the capacity to think.

It was impressive that Razer could still control his mount even though all Pseudo Canzers were malfunctioning. It was a testament to how powerful he was.

Of course, using that many words put a strain on Razer's mouth and shut him up for a few minutes.

If he could speak, then he would challenge Atlan to a duel. So, Razer simply started the duel rather than ask it.

Razer took the reins and steered it towards Atlan. His Canzer obediently followed the reins and crashed itself towards Atlan's Giraffe-Horse.

The bronze and wooden chariots crashed into each other, with the wheels scratching each other and slowing the chariots down.

Atlan moved the chariot aside to cushion the blow.

It was clear that Razer wanted a showdown between the two of them, but Atlan knew that this wasn't the best idea especially since they were getting chased by thousands of manic Pseudo Canzers that couldn't be frozen. They needed to conserve their strength to fight the Canzers, not fight each other.

Razer knew that Atlan wanted to avoid a confrontation, so he strained his tongue further by secretly commanding his Gorilla-Horse to attack the Giraffe-Horse and prevent it from speeding away.

Since the 'Word of the All-Father' emitted no sound, this would have gone unnoticed by Atlan.

Unfortunately for Razer…

'Attack…Giraffe…"

His own mount repeated his words. Discover stories at m,v l'-NovelFire.net
