Chapter 922 Chapter 922: Unfair
"I wonder when I am going to fight, Miss Pepondosovich."
"Be patient, my young protege. They let all the matches finish before they proceed with the next batch — and most matches at this level actually either end in the first second, or sometimes even last for days. And seeing as that guy is fighting..."
It hasn't been a day yet, but it was close. But the fact that the fight was lasting was not really a surprise to everyone who was watching the last match of the batch — even Riley was just nodding his head as Miss Pepondosovich was explaining.
After all, one of the remaining combatants was Yanchuen, and Yanchuen truly liked to enjoy his battles to the fullest. But more people would have probably enjoyed his match if it was actually a battle, but no...
...Yanchuen was just playing with his opponent.
As someone who could see the future, Yanchuen was just taunting his opponent each time he had the chance to do so... and he had a lot of chances to do so.
"It is no wonder he and Miss Marleen were in a relationship," Esme commented as her eyes followed Yanchuen without rest, "The two of them are very similar when it comes to how they approach a battle."
"Hm," Miss Pepondosovich shrugged before nodding, "The mind readers and clairvoyants are always so tricky to match up with."
"Are there a lot of them in the Domain of the Gods, Miss Pepondosovich?" Riley asked; gulping down another mug of milk soda as his eyes were also glued to the match, "Mind readers and clairvoyants."
"A whole lot of them," Miss Pepondosovich breathed out in disdain, "But if you are talking about Grandarena City, then you could probably only count them with a single hand — most mind readers and clairvoyants have their abilities as powers, after all. Yanchuen and Marleen are different since their special traits are innate in their body; it's not like they can turn it off. There's also the fact that most mind readers are physically weak, by our standards, of course."
"Hm," Riley nodded.
"Someone like you should not actually even be here, Riri," Miss Pepondosovich then let out a small groan as she turned her focus to Riley, "Your telekinetic strength is at a cosmic level, or perhaps even beyond. Not to mention you also have an unfair number of other abilities — couldn't you make your body entirely intangible?"
"Yes," Riley shrugged, "It is a racial trait that I received from being killed by King, who has lobotomized a Norinlad and stole its life and abilities, Miss Pepondosovich."
"That—"
"I could also fully turn myself into a puddle of blood. An ability I also received from being killed by King, who lobotomized a variant of Pirate Queen Xra," Riley nodded several times, "This blood control ability is actually used to fully counter a Norinlad's racial ability — so I might actually be completely invincible right now if I utilize all of my abilities to their most effective use."
"See what I mean by unfair?" Miss Pepondosovich pointed at Riley as she looked at Esme, "Some people just got to have it all."
...he didn't even feel any sort of pain.
"What did you—"
And before the man could even finish his words, Miss Pepondosovich fully slammed his head to the ground; pinning it before she pressed his neck with both legs. She then also laid down on the ground, spinning her body and completely twisting the man's neck as she did so.
The man was still very much alive and struggling, however, as he started swinging his hands toward Miss Pepondosovich while both of them were on the ground. Miss Pepondosovich, however, just caught his hand and also trapped it in her arm before pulling and stretching the man's neck and shoulder apart.
And before the man could even do anything or react, Miss Pepondosovich suddenly lightened her grip on him and just rolled away. The man also quickly stood up and leaped back; his head spinning several times until it was back in place.
"You are showing me mercy?" The man muttered as he patted his neck, "That's a mistake."
"Mercy?" Miss Pepondosovich let out a small chuckle, "There is no such thing as mercy in the Domain of the Gods — all there really is are different values of entertainment. And right now, I truly want to be entertained, so...
...Shall we dance?"
"Oh?" Riley quickly reacted as soon as he saw Miss Pepondosovich moving into a stance. Her words made him remember his time back in Mega Academy; much simpler times — and sometimes, Riley even preferred to have just kept everything like that, completely grounded and humble. But right now, he was surrounded by gods who were just as strong as him.... well, maybe not most of them.
"It would seem Miss Pepondosovich truly is a champion of Grandarena City, Master," Esme pointed at the center of the table as she watched as Miss Pepondosovich was practically just slamming her opponent left and right. And even though she was just doing incredibly simple moves, her opponent still seemed even more confused than Yanchuen's opponent... and Yanchuen could literally see the future.
"I suppose it is to be expected," Riley nodded, "And—"
"No!"
And before Riley could finish his words, Miss Pepondosovich suddenly appeared back at her seat,
"Why did he have to surrender!? I haven't even stretched my legs yet!"
"Anymore would have been torture, Miss Pepondosovich," Esme welcomed Miss Pepondosovich back by handing her a bottle of beer, "The other matches are already about to be over as well...
...maybe it will be my turn soon."
