Chapter 927

Chapter 927

The Battle God watched the succession ceremony in interest. The war of nerves between Minhyuk and Nerva was fierce.

Latte, the Battle Gods aide, rubbed his chin and said, It will start in an hour.

The Battle God nodded slowly. Nerva or Minhyuk. This will determine who will gain the power of the Battle God.

He had chosen Nerva as his successor in the past, which was why he had given the man the position of the Battle Gods Sword, a position on par with that of a descendant. However, in the end, Minhyuk became his descendant. But during this succession ceremony, they could finally determine who would obtain the Battle Gods Authority.

The Battle God was fair and impartial. He did not give Nerva the position of his descendant because he saw more potential in Minhyuk then.

Ultimately, Minhyuk was in a similar situation to the other descendants. If Minhyuk could not prove his qualifications and show them that he had the ability to be the Battle Gods descendant, then he would be deprived of this position. On the other hand, if Nerva could show him satisfactory performance, then Nerva might be able to receive the Battle Gods Authority and become the Battle Gods Descendant.

Latte immediately understood what the Battle God meant after seeing that he did not respond to him.

It seems like even the Battle God cannot determine the outcome, too.

An emerging emperor and the emperor of the strongest empire, only one among the two would be able to receive the Power of Development.

***

Minhyuk went out to finish his workout before the succession ceremony. Before he started his workout, he specifically reached out to both Ali and Death and told them:

If, by any chance, something happens there, you should contact me right away.

Ali and Death just chuckled at him.

Were not children, you know?

You dont have to be so worried over us.

Why? Do you think its too annoying and burdensome for a friend to care about his friends?

The two immediately turned to look at Minhyuk when they heard the word friend. They thought simultaneously, Ah, its so nice to be friends with him.

And Minhyuk? He grew furious when the thing he worried about became a reality. He wondered if there indeed was someone so petty and immature at their age. But lo and behold, there truly was one. The worst part? They made fun of Alis older brothers legs and disability.

Minhyuk looked at everyone before turning to Nerva and saying, Can I punch this guy in the face?!

Nerva frowned. He immediately grasped the situation, especially because the gods had spoken up and confirmed the situation.

Its completely understandable. And knowing that youre an emperor who cares about your subject, I feel very ashamed.

You deserve to be angry.

The whispers of the gods grew louder. And Valentino? He could feel Nervas cold and piercing glare.

Im- Im in trouble

Minhyuk had been superficial when he asked Nerva if he could seek justice for his friends and sought Valentino's insult. Valentino knew Nerva would unleash his anger upon him once they returned to the empire. He could see a future that was far more terrifying than dying right away.

As for Nerva, he could tell that the crowd was starting to blame him. But as the emperor of the most substantial empire, he remained calm. He stood up and looked at Minhyuk and Valentino.

I understand. But he is also my subordinate. Do you think its proper for the emperor of an empire at war with us to punish my subordinate in front of me like that?NewW novels updates at novelhall.comotion among the gods suddenly died down. They could not overlook the fact that the two nations were at war, and because of that, the gods understood that they could not come forward.

Does the Beyond the Heavens Emperor wish to obtain an apology from me by using this as a pretext? If thats the case, then youre being petty. Nerva thought of a way to turn the situation in his favor. However, this emperor also understands your love for your subordinate. I believe it would be better for them to solve the matter between them amongst themselves.

Perhaps this was the best solution. As for Minhyuk? He was very delighted with this turn of events.

This is much better.

Minhyuk nodded and said, Then, one shot. Allow us to send one attack.

Nerva looked at Valentino and Ali before nodding in agreement. He thought it would be better for him to concede this much rather than continue to avoid it by saying they were two nations at war. Unfortunately, this was Nerva's biggest mistake.

Ali and Minhyuk shared a smile. The only reason why Ali endured the humiliation was because he was afraid that it would harm Minhyuk since all of the gods were here. But they have now fully convinced the gods.

The gods slowly moved and opened a small space inside the dining hall. The God of Shields even provided a thick and solid barrier that surrounded Ali and Valentino.

Magic Compression.

[Meteor is being gathered and compressed!]

...!

...!

...!

Gather was a magic that Ali had been using since he was a low-tier mage. Gather, a magic that gathered everyone or everything in one place, was not used by most of the mages. Why? Because they could not utilize it properly. But Ali continued to use it, applying it in many ways. And just like that, Ali mastered Gather magic and succeeded in developing and creating a new magic called Magic Compression. This was a power that not even the God of Magic had.

[Meteor has been compressed!]

The meteor located at the center of the formation of meteors sucked in one of the meteors falling beside it.

[The current falling Meteors power can deal an additional 6,000% magical attack power and devour an area with a radius of 70 meters!]

[Meteor has been compressed! The current Meteor has received a 30% increase in power!]

[An additional 2,000% magical attack power will be applied, and the radius of effect will also increase by 21 meters!]

If Meteor was gathered, then it should have weakened in power.

However, there was one crucial factor to consider here. Meteor was the strongest AOE magic attack skill, and if appropriately used, it could slaughter almost 100,000 enemies. Now, the strongest AOE magic attack skill had been turned into a single magic attack skill.

Then, another meteor was sucked in by the central meteor.

[An additional 2,000% magical attack power will be applied, and the radius of effect will also increase by 21 meters!]

Just like that, the meteors were sucked in by the central meteor one after another. And the central meteor? It slowly grew bigger and bigger.

[...magical attack power!]

[...magical attack power!]

[...magical attack power!]

Now, the central meteor had turned into a gigantic meteor twice the size of the meteor that the God of Magic could summon.

The God of Magic gasped. This is stronger than my own Meteor.

The other gods were also shocked and overwhelmed by the gigantic meteor falling from the sky above them. They watched in trepidation as Ali raised his fair and slender finger and pointed it at Valentino.

This- this- shit

Valentino hurriedly lifted his square shield above him. Then, the attack collided with his shield.

Baaaaaaaaaaaang!

The ground on which Valentino was standing cracked, forcing his feet to go deeper and deeper under the ground.

A- aaaaaaaaaaack!

But the gigantic meteor continued to crush him with its overwhelmingly heavy and colossal force. High magical defensive power? The highest total HP among the tankers? Those counted for nothing. They were all useless in front of Alis Meteor. The damage that Alis magic dealt him was beyond imagination. To put a rough estimate, the Meteor Ali cast had over 20,000% additional magical attack power. It was something that he could not deal with what he had.

Keuhaaaaaaaack!

Baaaaaaaaang!

In the end, Valentino was crushed by the meteor. He was almost ground to dust by the attack, and he heard an extremely ridiculous set of notifications in his ears.

[Your HP has reached 0!]

[The God of Shields Will has been triggered!]

[Your HP has recovered to 10%. Your defensive power will increase by 100% for ten seconds.]

The gods turned mute when they saw the aftermath left behind by the meteor after it devoured the ground in front of them. They watched as Valentino, who managed to recover to some extent, stumbled and struggled to stand up.

...

Nerva clenched his fists tightly when he saw Minhyuk standing across from him. He could see the mirth in the mans eyes and the smile teasing the corners of his lips.

Meanwhile, Valentino made eye contact with Ali after he finally stood on his shaking feet. He saw Ali mouthing something at him. It seemed like he was saying, F*ck you.
