“How is that possible?”
The God of Destruction, Yesmola, had a terrified expression on his face. The arms wrapped around his body were severely injured.
The youth in front of him had just casually pointed a finger, and a wave of energy that surpassed the level of normal starlight-tier had entered his body and wreaked havoc on it. It looked like he had the strength of a demigod. However, in a real battle, the youth’s strength was even stronger than his.
‘How is there an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with a god in this small mortal world? And what is that thing on his chest? Is that a race chess piece? What kind of style is it? I don’t think I have ever seen it before.’
He stared blankly at Watson’s chest—that golden-green chess piece. With his experience as a god, he could see that it was a complete race chess piece. However, even though he had participated in the ancient wars, he could not tell which race that chess piece had belonged to.
He touched the hole in his chest, and he used divine power to heal it. Yesmola’s heart was filled with greed. Perhaps the demigod was powerful because of the race chess piece. The race chess piece was a starlight-tier item. If he could obtain that race chess piece, his strength would increase significantly.
With that thought in mind, he decided to use all his strength to kill the youth in front of him.
After entering the world, he initially wanted to turn everyone into his believers. He did not use his strongest form to prevent his divine power from causing damage to the world. However, he could no longer care about that. Even if he used his full strength and thousands of people died from the aftershocks of his power, he would not be able to resist the temptation of the race chess piece on Watson’s chest.
“Hundred-handed giant form!”
Yesmola roared as countless arms around his body flew into the air. An illusory spirit body extended from the back of the arms and connected to his body. His body also expanded. He had become a giant that was thousands of meters tall and covered the entire sky.
That giant did not have any facial features. His face was blank, and his body was very smooth. His arms and legs were long and thin. Hundreds of arms were on his back, looking extremely horrifying.
At that moment, those arms extended from the sky to every corner, enveloping the entire Dwarven Kingdom. Without a doubt, as long as Yesmola wanted to, he could raise the entire Dwarven Kingdom at any time.
The dwarves looked even more terrified. They were pale, and their lips were trembling. No one knew what kind of reaction they were having.
‘That chess piece, and even the world, will belong to me, the God of Destruction.’
..
Watson’s body was under immense strain as it faced the God of Destruction in its altered form.
After changing its form, the God of Destruction’s power became even more powerful. There was a strange vibration from his arms. Whatever came into contact with that vibration, whether it was the mountains, rivers, or the walls of the Dwarven Kingdom, it would collapse.
That vibration was also transmitted. With the God of Destruction as the center, it continued to spread to the surroundings. If the vibration were not controlled, it would one day expand to the earth’s limits, causing the entire world to collapse.
“That is the true power of the gods.”
Watson could not help but sigh in his heart. He was not confronted with a god who had been resurrected using someone else’s body, nor was he confronted with a reincarnated child of God at that time. Instead, he was confronted with a true God who had fallen from the outside world.
That god’s aura was fundamentally different from the god he had fused. Fortunately, he had raised the world’s level. Otherwise, the old world would have crumbled simply because that deity had entered, throwing everyone into the endless universe.
Even though the God of Destruction was extremely powerful, Watson’s heart was filled with a fighting spirit. Since his transmigration to that world, he had encountered a slew of formidable foes. He would spend a long time honing his steel will. It was more accurate to say that the more powerful the adversary, the more potential he possessed.
“Mask of Divinity, the Power of Wrath!”
Red flames engulfed Watson’s body. His body proceeded to grow until he was the size of the God of Destruction. Two kilometer-sized monsters were squabbling. The Dwarven Kingdom was completely covered by the shadow that hid the sunshine.
Watson’s rage turned into sharp arrows after transforming into a giant, colliding with the God of Destruction’s hundreds of thick and lengthy arms. Some of the arrows were seized and broken by the god of destruction’s arms, while others pierced his chest and lower abdomen, causing him to cry in anguish.
That was a great battle between the gods. The sky was filled with red meteor-like lights and giant arms that were like mountains.
“Should we go up and help?”
A few dragon knights came behind Christina. They asked worriedly as they looked up at the sky.
“There’s no need.” Christina shook her head, her eyes flickering. “With His Majesty Watson’s strength, that god is no match for him. Furthermore, His Majesty’s fight must have a deeper meaning. Before His Majesty summons us, we should not act rashly.”
“That makes sense.”
The Dragon Knights agreed and spread out to shield the dwarves, preventing them from being harmed by Watson’s conflict with the God of Destruction.
“The Kingdom of Deception, the great sword that destroys the world!”
Watson’s fierce arrow rain clashed with the god of devastation for a short time. The God of Destruction could not stop himself from roaring and summoning a massive divine kingdom. Huge bells were hanging everywhere in the divine kingdom, and they were constantly ringing. There were even a few giants in the divine kingdom. Those colossi were blinded and had their ears covered. They were ringing the bells on the divine kingdom’s towers aimlessly.
Those bell-ringing giants were responsible for the powerful vibrations.
The gods in the outside world were more powerful than the gods that Watson had fused with the system. The gods of the outside world absorbed their beliefs and became gods. As a result, they had followers. Those giants, who had their five senses shut, worshiped the God of Destruction.
The gap around the divine kingdom shattered at that moment, and the air became thin. The God of Destruction yelled and drew a massive blade from the divine kingdom.
That sword was fully translucent and made entirely of vibration energy. It stretched for over a thousand meters. The God of Destruction swiped his massive blade across the ground. A single blow from that blade could not endure the rain of arrows in the heavens. Everything was trembling and shattered. The sky was ready to split in half, and Watson’s body was going to break in half as well.
Watson pressed his palms together and slapped his chest. “Unruly and proud scales!”
As a result of his activities, a massive scale appeared beneath him and the God of Destruction. It was difficult to comprehend how enormous that magnitude was. The two pallets on the scale held him and the God of Destruction, respectively, and there was still plenty of room on the scale.
The scale’s two pallets were shaking up and down at the time. The God of Destruction’s blade was stuck in its own pallet, unable to escape. The pallet Watson was on kept falling during the weighing process, and the God of Destruction’s body was lifted.
That maneuver was one of Pride’s powers that came with the Twisted Divine Persona Mask. The idea was to utilize pride to assess the worth of both sides in a conflict. The lesser value side would collapse and die immediately.
The God of Destruction was a god, but Watson possessed multiple peak-tier starlight-tier tools. After being fused, his race chess pieces became sovereign-tier tools. It was worth more than the God of Destruction. As a result, after a few seconds of measurement, the scales vanished and were replaced by a massive sword several times the size of the blade in the God of Destruction’s hand. It rained down his head.
Roar!
The massive sword slashed half of the God of Destruction’s body open with a ferocious yell. Half of his arms were also reduced to ashes. The gigantic body collapsed to the ground, and blood poured like a stream. It was no longer possible to put a stop to it.
After gravely hurting the God of Destruction with a single stroke, Watson did not stop. He continued to use the Twisted Divine Persona Mask’s ability. “Perfect Envy clone.”
The clone of Absolute Envy could duplicate an enemy’s clone and inherit all kinds of abilities and thoughts. As long as the enemy’s strength did not exceed the level of a star’s brilliance, he would not be able to resist his duplication.
The clone that he had duplicated was naturally the God of Destruction. His clone was undamaged than the God of Destruction’s main body. After the clone was duplicated, the God of Destruction’s clone immediately rode on his main body, and countless arms suddenly fell, carrying a terrifying aura that could shatter stars. The clone fiercely landed on the God of Destruction’s body. The power of shock and destruction passed through his body, destroying the nearby mountains and land.
“Supernatural acceleration!”
Watson extended his hand and pointed at the clone of utter envy he had manufactured. A stream of light was discharged from each of the ten starlight-tier magical fountains over his head. Watson expanded and injected the race chess pieces into the clone’s body with the power of the race chess pieces.
The clone of Absolute Envy, who already possessed the power of a god, had absorbed the energy of ten magical fountains. It was equivalent to obtaining ten divine powers at the same time. His attacks carried the characteristics of chaos, death, Yin, and other different attributes. The destruction and vibrations alone had already left the body of the god of destruction riddled with holes.
At that moment, the God of Destruction’s main body could not endure the attacks of so many qualities. It was directly hit by the tiniest energy factor, blending into the earth and dissolving. The enormous holes on the ground, which had been bombed into disarray, demonstrated the ferocity of the battle at the time.
At the same time, the divine kingdom established by the God of Destruction began to crumble in the sky. The kingdom was littered with shards of bright bricks and tiles. The gigantic bell in front of the blindfolded giant ringing the kingdom’s bell shattered. Their bodies erupted as well, creating a cloud of blood mist.
The divine kingdom was the source of the gods’ strength. The fall of the divine monarchy revealed that the gods’ life had come to an end. The Dwarven Kingdom, a beautiful kingdom, had crashed in the sky. That scene appeared to be both gorgeous and heartbreaking.
“The gods are nothing more than that.”
Watson stood there with his hands behind his back, watching everything coldly. In his opinion, his strength should be around the peak of the starlight tier.
His natural strength was that of a demigod, but he possessed the might of several gods. Furthermore, since he had established many sources of magical power in the world, his geographical advantage enabled him to fight against ordinary gods in that world. He also had four separate peak stage starlight-tier props on him and a fused race chess piece. He could fight a peak starlight-tier god if he used all of his strength.
The God of Destruction in front of him was only at the level of an ordinary God. In his eyes, he was not his match.
The divine kingdom in the sky disintegrated rapidly as he waved his hand. In God of Destruction’s divine kingdom, a ball of black viscous liquid poured out of a crack. The concentrated black liquid wiggled, and the roar from the God of Destruction could be heard from within. Broken arms could be seen in the background.
That black liquid was the god’s remains, condensed from the power of the divine kingdom after the death of the God of Destruction. After absorbing that god’s remains, one could obtain its corresponding power if one had previously absorbed similar things. Therefore, Watson was not unfamiliar with that.
“He actually killed the god!”
At that moment, King Prussia was staring blankly at the sky, his mouth wide open and unable to speak for a long time.
Odyssey, the Light Dragon King, had previously told him about Watson’s power. Watson would not have conquered two kingdoms and accomplished unification if he had not produced a whole new element that did not fit in that world. He had no idea that Watson’s strength was still beyond his conception.
Initially, he had summoned Watson and the others to demonstrate the power of the Dwarven Kingdom’s technology. In the end, the might of their technology was not demonstrated, and instead, Watson’s power astounded him and the dwarves.
What type of technology would they need to battle against such power to murder a god by himself?
King Prussia was conflicted as he overheard the dwarfs beside him say, “It’s nothing good, Your Majesty. Take a look at the sky. The empty expanse in the sky has grown once more. Another god is on his way in.”
What?
King Prussia’s demeanor shifted. He hurriedly looked up at the sky and noticed that a few non-human fingers had reappeared above his head in the space tunnel that had been ripped apart by the God of Destruction. Those fingers did not appear to be from the same creature. They hooked the space passage and fiercely yanked it in all directions. A few unfathomable behemoths emerged from beyond the space passage.
One of the behemoths was entirely made of white bones. Mysterious colors flowed over the white bones. That color did not belong to any known color. As it flowed, it seemed to flow directly into the starry sky.
The other behemoth’s body was made of a wriggling mass of meat. That wriggling mass of flesh was randomly distributed, some still with facial features. It looked bizarre.
The remainder of the monsters had odd shapes as well. Some had a bug’s lower body and a human’s upper body. Some people were shining from head to toe. It was a massive sphere with the ability to emit light.
Eight monsters had broken in, and they were all gods.
“I can’t believe that the world actually has a starlight-tier tunnel that connects to the outside world.” The twisted and tangled lightning would be enough to burn the sky and penetrate the earth if it spread out.
Not far away, the god with the upper body of a human, the bottom part of an insect, and a scornful expression on his face said, “The environment is excellent here. I want a quarter of the kingdom to be turned into a nest of the void insect race.”
The void insect race was extremely strong in the divine kingdom. The void insect race had complete dominion over space and could freely travel between worlds. Not only were their reproductive capacities powerful, but even adults could reach the starlight tier.
“All of you, get out of here. I want this world.”
While the gods were disputing, the first god who came in opened his lips, his entire body covered in white bones with weird colors running on them. Rolling sound waves stretched out in all directions as the skeleton opened and closed its lips. The pain was tingling in the non-godly beings’ ears.
The gods who were bickering before the skeleton thing spoke calmed down because the skeleton-like monster was well-known in the area. It was not typical for starlight-tier gods like them. The skeleton creature was the Twilight Star Spirit. It was a great species derived from planet ruins. In their childhood, the Twilight Star Spirits were planets that appeared like any other planet.
In the worlds where their bodies evolved, there would also be life. As those living forms continued to reproduce, they would absorb knowledge and grow stronger. They would complete their planetary change when they reached adulthood. They would annihilate all life on the globe.
The color that flowed through the bones of extinct living forms would become the hue that flowed through their bones.
Those hues were ineffable and appeared hazy because they were generated by the flames of life and the light of civilization rather than by primary colors.
That magnificent lineup stunned everyone present, except for Watson, with a peak starlight-tier god as the leader and seven ordinary gods. Even Christina and some Dragon Knights’ expressions changed.
Their power was currently at the peak of diamond-tier. If they came across a starlight-tier opponent, they could fight for a time using Watson’s transmission ability. After all, there was a considerable difference between peak starlight-tier and typical starlight-tier.
Watson embodied life at the peak of the starlight tier. He had the ability to annihilate the entire world if he so desired.
“It’s over. It’s over. What should we do now? With so many gods barging in, the world will definitely be destroyed. The Dwarven Kingdom will also be finished.”
The dwarves, including King Prussia, were swarming like ants on a hot stove. Haymordinger was the most composed of the dwarfs. At that moment, he had a look of sadness on his face, and his eyes were filled with remorse. He wished he could travel back in time to the moment he showed Watson the space door. He would not have revealed it to Watson if he had known Watson would not hesitate to open the space door and open the way to the divine kingdom.
He was not only remorseful for his acts, but he was also blaming Watson in his heart. Why would he open the space door only for the sake of opening it? Did Watson not utilize his brain to consider what would happen after unlocking the door, or was Watson suspicious because he had lied?
Everyone had different thoughts, but Watson looked relatively calm standing in the sky.
One, two, three, eight—a total of eight gods. There appear to be quite a few of them, but regrettably, in terms of numbers, Watson’s side had the advantage.
Watson muttered as he opened his hands. “Globe, open the space passage to the Dwarven Kingdom! All Blackmoon Knights, heed my orders. Come when I call your name.”
Watson swiftly called Globe in his heart. He controlled Globe in the City of Steel’s underground city, and he could open spatial tunnels in every part of the world. It was sufficient to transfer all of the Blackmoon Knights over. That was also why he did not bring any Blackmoon Knights with him to the Dwarven Kingdom. Even if he did not travel through the worlds, the Blackmoon Knights would arrive there in minutes thanks to the gods’ strength.
“Blackmoon Knights, what is that?”
“No matter what it is, it is just futile resistance.”
The gods in the sky were conversing with each other, and their tone was tinged with scorn. A break erupted in the sky above Watson’s head just as they were chatting. From behind the massive hole descended a knight clad in black iron armor. The Blackmoon Knights’ First Legion’s Captain, Allen, had arrived to guard Watson.
More black-armored knights appeared behind the black-armored knight. “The Second Legion’s Captain, Liszt, and the Third Legion’s Captain, William, pay their respects to you, Your Majesty. Neither you nor the Kingdom of Kings can be destroyed.”
Following the course of the black hole, 100,000 Blackmoon Iron Knights materialized in the sky above the Dwarven Kingdom. Each of them radiated a stellar glow. The frightening auras were linked together, startling the gods and the Dwarven Kingdom’s inhabitants.
They had 100,000 gods.. When had they ever seen such a scene?
