Chapter 676: The God-King’s Uniqueness

“No matter what the God Lord desires, the possibility of it emerging at the end of civilization is the greatest; after all, this is a plane.”

“Let’s start from here. Whether instigating wars or breaking down the opponent’s resistance, targeting the Divine Capital will yield the maximum support.”

“We also need some time for the world to react and prepare the ‘things’ we might need. It can’t just end with a bang.”

The cultivators of the Divine Court understood they were increasing Qing Liu Sheng’s odds, but to obtain certain things, they had to go through the process honestly.

Otherwise, following the conventional strategy to completely control the information of the world would take too long, and an existence like Qing Liu Sheng could not afford to give them that much time.

Having known the inside story of the distorted planes for a long time, they had to hurry; otherwise, they would undoubtedly fail.

…

“Lord Noah, let’s go!”

Alania pulled Noah, trying to leave. But after taking a few steps, Noah suddenly stopped.

He looked at the bank, now reduced to ruins, and at the four robbers with various magical weapons firing wildly at the approaching protection team, anger flashing in his eyes.

“Lord Noah?”

“I shouldn’t leave. They are being harmed right in front of me, dying… it’s so painful!” Noah said.

“Even though you have mastered S-level magic, in reality, your abilities are still far from saving others!” Alania frowned.

As the serving priestess, she was the only one who knew that the new god had not completely mastered his magic.

It wasn’t surprising; S-level magic was too powerful, and younger awakeners sometimes couldn’t master it at all. Moreover, the new god had been determined by His Majesty Young God to be a new god-king, not merely a new god, which was a significant difference; the growth process of a god-king was much more complicated and required balancing the distortion objects within.

“I know… leave it to me.”

“Facing friends and facing enemies is completely different.”

Noah’s eyes opened and closed, and his aura seemed to change subtly, transforming from that of a simple, understandable youthful boy to an unfathomable presence.

He sought help from Yun Ye, who was controlling the body at this moment.

Yun Ye knew the cultivators of the Divine Court were already starting to act, so in every battle, he had to step in to prevent the significant difference in strength from revealing their suspicions.

“Facing friends and facing enemies, huh?” Alania pondered.

So the earlier tests weren’t entirely truthful?

Indeed, according to the intelligence received, Hilo and the others had all been defeated by the new god, which even resulted in the meteor-stricken Abu dying on the spot.

This kind of strength couldn’t possibly be compared to the tests over these days.

Perhaps a difference in mindset during battle led to a variation in power?

This was a weakness, and if not corrected, it could likely be exploited, leading to death.

Since that’s the case, using battle to grow should be the simplest method, especially since these bandits haven’t yet bypassed her protective abilities.

“Alright, your growth indeed requires battle!”

Alania agreed.

“Let’s go!”

The white-haired boy stepped into the bank ruins, where the blazing flames were extinguished, and walked straight towards the robbers fleeing and casting magical weapons among the buildings.

He walked straight because the power that devoured magic spread and enveloped the robbers, making those who relied on magic power to reduce weight and speed up their movement fall down when they tried to leap off the building walls.

“What is going on? Why can’t we use magic? Shoot him and turn him into a sieve!”

All four robbers showcased their skills and landed steadily, one of them even agilely breaking through the glass and disappearing into the building.

Yun Ye and Alania felt uneasy, sensing the danger; this robber was likely a sniper, hiding in the shadows, ready to launch a lethal strike at any moment.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The remaining three saw that their magical weapons were ineffective, so they drew their firearms and fired wildly.

Most magic was small-scale, while firearms still had excellent effects. Especially when magic was attached to firearms, it was obviously much easier than attaching magic to a person’s body, which made firearms a regular piece of equipment.

With magic disabled, these firearms proved useful and didn’t leave them completely defenseless.

However, it didn’t help much; even distortion objects could be devoured, and bullets were no exception. Yun Ye’s surroundings twisted, swallowing all the bullets.

Then, Gunter’s weapon appeared in his hand. He infused it with magic power and fired directly into the sky: “Gravity Constrain!”

Boom!

A flash of black light streaked by. The irresistible gravity pulled the three men violently toward the direction where the black light had vanished. Given their frail human bodies, they were torn apart and ultimately consumed and compressed into a point by the gravity of the black light.

“General Gunter’s magic!”

Alania’s pupils contracted. What was happening? Why was he able to use a secondary magic even when possessing the highest-level magic himself?

Moreover, wasn’t Noah said to have never learned magic? How had he mastered such profound magical techniques?

“My magic is not just about absorbing damage; if I can control it, I can also reproduce it… Therefore, in the past, after absorbing power, my body would collapse. This isn’t a side effect but rather a consequence of my inability to utilize it.”

Yun Ye’s voice explained, “After devouring that house, my capacity seems to have become limitless. So even if I don’t know how to use it, the infinite capacity allows me to ignore bodily harm and forcefully recreate power. Of course, I still need to provide the magic power myself, so the current potency is the limit.”

“…As expected of you.” Alania immediately bowed, acknowledging that the judgment of the new generation god-king, His Majesty Young God, was indeed correct.

Bang!

A sniper bullet, imbued with magical piercing properties, came roaring in. Alania suddenly looked up, her killing intent erupting. Chains extended out, directly blasting the sniper bullet apart. Her eyes swiftly overcame multiple obstacles to lock onto the target, and the chains swept out, severing the building in half. The last robber was reduced to a mist of blood in shock.

…

“Is it an S-level Mage who chose to take action? His youthfulness certainly makes one laugh.”

“Country-level Mage, Noah, male, currently has no concept of women, maintaining a kind intent to help others, with a naive personality. He has a special innate ability called ‘Absorbing Reversal’ and seems to have eliminated the side effects after devouring the distortion object ‘Bottomless House.’ He can apparently devour any magic or physical attack and can withstand country-level lightning strikes. A nuclear bomb should also be ineffective. The two current feasible plans are: one: distortion object…”

“Proceed with Plan Two, continue testing!”

“Understood, President!”

In the office, the middle-aged man in a suit continually issued various orders, working until nightfall, and gradually, no one entered the presidential office anymore.

Just as the allied country’s president was packing up to leave, a black-haired man suddenly appeared on the nearby sofa, causing him to pause.

“Yue, is there something?”

“Nothing much, just a bit concerned about this ‘Noah.’ Could he possibly be Qing Liu Sheng’s puppet? His experience of erupting in a desperate situation seems somewhat suspicious.”

“He’s merely a protagonist of the times; he might be part of the world’s preparation. Qing Liu Sheng has long entered this world, and according to the flow of time, it wouldn’t be possible for him to evoke such turmoil at this moment.”

“…He certainly fits the description of a standard protagonist. Should we let him grow?” The black-haired man nodded.

Even if the White Dragon Divine Master tracked Qing Liu Sheng to this world, he would have needed some time. Given the exaggerated flow of time in this world, even a one-second difference would equal over five days here. Unless Qing Liu Sheng were completely useless, it would be impossible for him to only start causing trouble after their arrival.

—Clearly, they misunderstood; the White Dragon Divine Master did not track Yun Ye here but received the coordinates directly, making their arrival time irrelevant.

They descended at the same second; after all, the void does not have the passage of time, and crossing it happens in an instant.

This was also a miscalculation by the celestial clans. According to the flow of time, Yun Ye should have been able to effortlessly decipher the mysteries of this plane and leave, but the prior knowledge of the coordinates held by the White Dragon Divine Master denied him that chance.

“It’s nothing; our goal is different from the conventional strategy. We’re not after the entire world but rather a specific item—the possibility needed by the God Lord. Let him grow freely; perhaps the possibility will reveal itself during his growth.”

“Ha ha, we don’t even know what possibility the God Lord needs… But it’s good that the God Lord places such importance on this; knowing whether we can live or die is a whole other issue.”

Hearing this, the allied country’s president glanced at the man: “Be cautious. If it truly is an extremely important item, memory will inevitably be read at the end.”

“What does it matter? Would someone like the God Lord care about that? If he truly did, we’d be dead countless times over; who doesn’t have something to curse about?” The man chuckled, showing no concern.

Others might not know, but the White Dragon Divine Master was exactly that kind of person. He simply did not care, as long as he completed the task; no amount of internal cursing mattered. After all, humans are like that; it’s impossible to control one’s thoughts. If one were to worry about everything, hardly anyone would survive.

“If you’re so free, go investigate those ruins. Before the world is fully prepared, they’re among the few places that might hold surprises.”

The allied country’s president did not argue, speaking lightly.

“Alright!”

The black-haired man nodded decisively and disappeared from the room.

The president also finished packing his things, glanced at the room one last time, and then closed the door that represented the highest power, vanishing from the palace.

…

“Hello everyone, I’m Cecily Tapia from today’s news. We are fortunate to have interviewed officials from the palace regarding their views on the latest S-level Mage and their understanding of the current international situation.”

“Mr. Liewan, what are your thoughts on the new country-level Mage from the Euro-Asian Alliance? It is said that this Mage can nullify all magic and attacks; isn’t that quite troublesome?”

Cecily handed the microphone to a gray-haired old man.
