Chapter 194
by fanqienovelChapter 194: Stretching the Muscles
“Fighting God, have you reached king level?”
As soon as the God of Theater emerged from the ripple in space, his eyes immediately landed on Fighting God.
For a moment, Fighting God felt a bit flattered.
Of course!
Ever since he advanced to king level and grasped the laws, the way everyone looked at him had changed.
This was the prestige of the God of Fighting!
Just look!
Thinking about how he would challenge the Earth Deity in the future, he realized he had a growth potential that no one else possessed.
This made him truly one of a kind!
“Yes,”
Fighting God replied, “I just finished advancing to king level and came back.”
The God of Theater nodded slightly, then shifted his gaze to Fighting God’s clean and neatly pressed clothes.
“Why are your clothes so spotless?”
“Uh… Sir, is there an issue?”
Fighting God asked, puzzled. First, the God of Martial Arts asked about his clothes, and now the God of Theater was doing the same.
He thought he looked pretty sharp in this outfit!
Was there something he missed?
Did he forget to fasten a button?
Or maybe he buttoned it wrong?
That couldn’t be!
How could he make such a silly mistake?
With that thought, Fighting God couldn’t help but start inspecting his clothes.
“No issue at all; I just think your outfit looks great,”
the God of Theater chuckled and said, “But why don’t you change into something else?”
“Let’s see what your combat state attire looks like after a few days of battling in the Arrow Realm.”
Su Wen overheard this and exchanged a knowing smile with the Shadow God.
The God of Theater’s hint had been dropped!
This was also the final hint for Fighting God; if he didn’t catch on now, the hint would truly be over.
Everyone’s intention was simple: to mentally prepare Fighting God.
Otherwise, if a fight suddenly broke out, Fighting God might be completely bewildered.
He might even start questioning himself, wondering why everyone was targeting him.
“Forget it!”
Fighting God shook his head and said, “My clothes got all torn up in the fight; a couple of them are so ripped that my backside is showing.”
“Wouldn’t it be pretty awkward if I stood here wearing those?”
The God of Theater nodded and said, “True. In that case, let’s just drop it.”
After saying that, the God of Theater gave Su Wen a reassuring look.
That look seemed to say, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this covered.”
Now, all they needed was for the Star God to show up, and then they could start the fight.
Su Wen’s eyes moved slightly, and he silently returned the look to the God of Theater, signaling that he got the message.
“Hey, Little Fighting!”
The God of Theater started, “I’ve got something to discuss with you. What do you think?”
Fighting God replied straight up, “Just say it, old man. If it’s something I can do, I’ll make it happen.”
“No need to make it sound so serious. It’s actually pretty simple, and if we pull it off, it’ll give all of us a big boost.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“Don’t worry about the details for now. Just know it’ll make everyone stronger, including you. So, are you in or not?”
“Of course I’m in! If it means getting stronger, especially if it helps everyone, then even if it’s something as tough as climbing a mountain of knives or crossing a sea of fire, I’d do it!”
“That’s a bit over the top, and I don’t think you’d be in any real danger.”
“Then, isn’t this too easy?”
“Right? That’s what I thought too!”
“…”
The God of Theater kept chatting with Fighting God, dropping hints here and there.
Sadly, Fighting God, who felt like he’d been given a big responsibility, didn’t catch on.
After all, he never imagined that the way to boost everyone’s strength was by beating him up.
The God of Theater’s plan was simple; he’d hinted so many times that he was practically out of breath.
If Fighting God didn’t get it, that was on him.
After they’d roughed him up, he’d have plenty of arguments to convince him.
After all, Fighting God had agreed to it!
In fact, he was even excited about it!
So, they’d just go ahead and grant Fighting God’s wish.
Honestly, everything he’d just told Fighting God was the truth.
“Whoosh!”
A flash of starlight, and there stood the Star God, decked out in starry battle attire, looking sharp as ever.
“Star God, why the fancy getup?”
Fighting God asked, “Are we heading to the Arrow Realm?”
“Just leveled up, and now going to the Arrow Realm?”
Star God shook his head slightly and said, “No, I’m just wearing my battle attire to stretch a bit.”
As he spoke, Star God gave Fighting God a once-over.
“Fighting God, your outfit looks pretty sharp.”
Fighting God grinned and replied, “Right? I think so too!”
He had spent a long time picking out the perfect transformation artifact to create an outfit that fit his proportions just right.
God of Martial Arts, God of Theater, and Star God all had their eyes on his attire, and it seemed like he had nailed the look.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, a wave of energy rippled from nearby.
Fighting God turned to see God of Theater also suited up in his long-lost battle attire.
“Do you all have something planned?”
Fighting God asked, confused, “Sir, you’re not going to explore the Arrow Realm with Star God, are you?”
A faint sense of unease crept into his heart.
Why was everyone looking at him so strangely?
It felt like they were expecting him to do something to them in the Arrow Realm.
But if they were so focused on him, why would they want to hurt him?
That didn’t add up!
“Something like that!”
God of Theater smiled and said, “Just a bit of stretching, and then we’ll tackle the issues in the northwest.”
Meanwhile, Shadow God quietly slipped behind the others.
She was ready; as soon as the action started, she’d use her phone and tablet to capture every moment of Fighting God’s glory.
But before the fight began, she couldn’t let her movements give her away.
The surprise would only work if it came out of nowhere, catching Fighting God off guard.
“Fighting God, don’t worry.”
Su Wen looked at Fighting God and said earnestly, “We’ll definitely fulfill your thoughts and the sincere wishes you hold for Future You.”
Fighting God looked completely baffled. He didn’t fully understand what was being said, but he could feel the care from God of Martial Arts.
Fulfilling his thoughts and his future wishes—wasn’t that a good thing?
“Thank you, God of Martial Arts!”
“No need to thank us; it’s what we should do!”
Su Wen stepped closer to Fighting God, giving his shoulder a reassuring pat and smiling.
Then, he slowly stepped back, making room for Star God and God of Theater to take the stage.
At the same time, a spellbook quietly appeared behind him.
Now that Fighting God was at king level, using super-tier magic against him should be fine, right?
After all, in their base in Huaxia, there were still two Emperor Level beings, and healing would definitely keep up!
“Sir, Star God.”
Su Wen said seriously, “Shall we begin?”
Star God and God of Theater both nodded and replied in unison, “Alright, then… let’s begin!”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them appeared right in front of Fighting God.
At the same time, the Theater World began to spread around them.
In an instant, the Theater World enveloped the five fate bearers with the character "God" present.
The beatdown officially began!
“Wait!”
“What are you doing!??”
“……”
Inside the Theater World, Fighting God’s voice echoed with confusion, doubt, bewilderment, and a mix of emotions.
