Chapter 165: Divine Qi

Viktor again ordered Adonis to participate in the mission to capture Midas with Ifrit. Both of them again went abroad and left Viktor to take care of the company.

Since Adonis won't be able to come back for the whole week because of the sudden increase of devil-possessed humans, Viktor had to fix his schedule. In Adonis's absence, the president of the QH company started to follow Viktor's instructions.

'My life is done for...'

Viktor glared at the pile of papers on his desk. The president was secretly smiling at him because he thought he couldn't even understand anything. He also gave him extra work for putting him into a difficult situation but what he thought was quite the opposite.

Viktor sure had a pale expression on his face but the reason behind it was his fixed schedule. He had to wake up early in the morning and go to work before 9.

'How many hours do I have to stay seated here? And this amount of work isn't fair at all. That damned president sure knows how to annoy me and doesn't see me as the vice chairman here.

At that moment, the lab instructor came. "Good afternoon, sir North. How are you doing today?"

Viktor looked at him and saw that he was the father of one of his classmates. He was curious about his sudden dropout from college so he came to ask him. "Um, it might be a little personal but I want to ask you something."

Viktor concentrated on his work and said, "Go ahead."

"Well, the thing is, why did you drop out from college when the military is fully supporting the soldiers? Also, the gravity magic user Rae is also missing. Do you know anything about it?"

"I don't wish to study when I already completed everything. The college doesn't have anything left for me to learn, that's why I dropped out. And about Rae, he's sick from mana exhaustion. I don't think he will be able to attain any classes. My cousin Welis will stay since that's what she wished for. So, is that all you wanted to know?" Viktor looked at him with his shiny silver eyes and again asked, "And yes, I don't wish to become the chairman of this company when Adonis is here. Work is bothersome. I'm doing this because he's absent. You have no idea how much I'm missing my sleep."

Viktor answered his questions before he could even ask. So he simply thanked him for his valuable time and left the office. Not even an hour later, it became breaking news that Viktor won't work for the military and even participate in the disciplinary committee's missions. Only his cousin Welis will stay and there was no news about Rae since Viktor didn't give enough information to that man.

'Well, Adonis will be happy to see the news now.'

At that moment, his heart skipped a beat because of a powerful flow of mana that flew right into Viktor's core. It didn't have any killing intention nor any harmful effects. It was an unknown kind of power similar to Qi but it was so pure. It felt like someone was grateful and thanked him

'This is divine Qi, that gods use...'

....

Somewhere in a remote village in the USA...

Adonis was finally done recreating the arms of the girl that Viktor rescued from the planet called E2. Her eyes were also made from a machine so he had to replace both of them from those two siblings.

Viktor helped Adonis to erase their memories so it made his work easier. He also removed all the metallic parts of their body and made them fully prepared to live on earth as real earthlings.

The time came.

Adonis woke them up from their deep sleep in a hut near a pine forest. Their memories were replaced with fake ones but still, they couldn't believe that they had actually lived there.

The air was fresh, the water was so clean and also they couldn't believe that their arm was real.

The only thing that the girl could remember was a silver-eyed god who listened to her prayers and helped her and her brother to send them to a peaceful place far away from their home. She couldn't remember where she lived before but she knew that place was nothing but hell compared to where she was standing.

So she quickly knelt and prayed. She thanked the lord of all living records who listened to her prayers in exchange for half of her soul and gave her a chance to live a peaceful life with her brother.

She was happy.

And that time, Viktor fulfilled the wish of his first follower without anything in exchange. Because he actually didn't take half of her soul because she only had 25 years to live. So, his unconditional affection towards his followers made him receive more divine Qi.

It was also the ticket to enter the gate of the gods' realm. He was officially selected as a participant in the gods' tournament.

A demigod is a being who is considered a lower-class god who can rule the realms below the god realm. But it's also the demigod's choice whether he wants to rule it or not. He can go around all the realms except for the realm of god.

A demigod can also rise to the god position by receiving the divine Qi by fulfilling his 1st follower's prayers. He then can participate in the tournament of god where he can become a god by defeating his opponents.

The tournament is held every one hundred thousand earth years and a handful of demigods participate to climb up to the top. Most of the participants are from the lower realm of the gods' realm and children of formal gods.

And Viktor became one of them just by fulfilling his follower's wishes.

He then checked his divine Qi and said, 'With this much power, I can crush a whole galaxy in my palm. Suddenly, the world became very small. I can sense every flow of living beings' records through the air like radio frequency. Is this the power of a divine Qi? This is far more powerful than I thought. I guess I need to make Adonis this powerful like me too. He also needs to participate in the tournament if he wants to stay by my side forever.'

He closed the file and threw it on the desk. He then completed every work without even touching them and teleported in front of Adonis without using any magic spell. He just followed the air and walked in front of him by using his divine Qi.

"Adonis, you made a great hutt for them. This neighbour is also great."

"Oh, master. I couldn't even sense you coming here. Why are you out of the office?"

"That's because I'm done with my work. Moreover, the green aurora is looking spectacular today."

"I just built a house here in this area to keep them away from human civilization for the time being. I will move them out after a few years."

"I see. Adonis, I came here to give you some good news."

"A good news, master?"

"Yes, I just received my divine Qi and became a heavenly demigod. I can enter the realm of gods now."

"So we will celebrate tonight, master. You've achieved something very great."

"Um... I guess so. But the tournament is about 87 thousand years later so we won't be leaving earth soon."

"I can see that, master. I can also see you sleeping like a log."

"Heheh...I guess so. Anyway, I'll go home now. See you in a week."

"Yes, master."

Viktor again stepped into the air and reappeared inside his office. He then went to the cafeteria to get a good cup of coffee.

An employee approached him. "Good afternoon, sir North. Are you having a break?"

"Oh, Mr Dave. Yes, I'm on my break now. Please have a seat." The foreign employee of his office took a seat in front of him with a tray full of fries and a huge burger. He then started to eat without any manners and talked with his mouth full. "Sir, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Where is the chairman? You are just a college dropout. Do you think that you're worthy of being the vice chairman of this prestigious company?" n.-0VelBIn

Even though he talked with his mouth full of food, what he said went clearly into everyone's ears inside the cafeteria. They just stopped moving in shock after hearing what that prideful man said.

The whole cafeteria became silent.

"So do you think your PhD degree has the authority to judge the worthiness of my position? Don't forget, the world isn't the same as it used to be a month ago. If you want your head to stay intact with your body, make sure to glue your mouth when you see me from now on."

Viktor then stood up and took most of his fries from his tray and again said, "Ah, I forgot. I can fire everyone here. Adonis will be very happy to hear that I'm actually doing something here. It doesn't matter if I'm hiring or firing you guys. You are welcome to leave if your pride is hurting you."

He then left the cafeteria with the rest of his fries shovelled inside his mouth.
