“How is this possible?!” Dozens of gods exclaimed simultaneously. Their combined attack had no effect on Bexia, who stood still as if rooted to the ground. The force of all the gods together did not even manage to tear a shred of Bexia's clothing. This was simply a naked face slap.
“Who are you exactly?” The Earth God frowned even more intensely as he looked at Bexia. Even he couldn't achieve this level of defense, standing unscathed against the combined attack of so many gods. His expression should not be so!
“My name is Bexia, just a stranger to all of you!”
“Hmph!” The Earth God snorted. He was not afraid of Bexia, as he believed that besides certain individuals, no one could be his match. After all, even the God-King could not come down now. He could be considered the strongest force in this world!
As the Earth God snorted, the ground shook around Bexia, and three new earth giants crawled up from below the ground, forming an impenetrable barrier around Bexia!
“Attack!” The Earth God commanded, and four colossal earth giants, standing thousands of meters tall, launched their assaults simultaneously. Other gods also joined in, unleashing their most powerful strikes.
“Chaos: Return to Origin!”
Bexia extended a single finger, a grey light flickering at its tip. When this finger touched the space, it seemed as if it were touching a water surface, creating ripples in the spatial fabric.
It was as if the whole world froze under this finger. Wherever the ripples spread, all attacks disintegrated into basic energy, and the earth giants melted back into the soil and gravel beneath their feet. It was as if nothing had happened, except for the disappearance of dozens of gods.
“Pfft—!”
A few powerful gods managed to survive, but even they were covered in cracks, resembling bloodied figures. Among them, the Earth God looked the best, showing he was indeed the strongest among these gods, the only one seemingly with any fighting capability!
“How can your power possibly...” The Earth God staggered, his armor shattering, and the longsword in his hand broke into countless sparkling fragments.
“Hiss—!”
Tiny bloodstains appeared on the Earth God's body continuously. Although terrifying, compared to the other gods, the Earth God seemed relatively unscathed. All the other surviving gods lay on the ground, lifeless!
“Your strength...” The Earth God, half-crouching on the ground, looked at Bexia in astonishment, realizing that only a few God-Kings possessed such terrifying power.
“Nothing is impossible, and your strength is useless against me!” Bexia walked slowly towards the Earth God.
“Useless...” The Earth God was puzzled. He subconsciously thought Bexia was being arrogant, implying his strength was insignificant and incapable of harming Bexia.
“You...” As Bexia approached, the Earth God suddenly lifted his head, forming a blade of yellow light in his hand, thrusting it towards Bexia's chest.
“Whoosh—!”
However, the blade disintegrated before even touching Bexia, not destroyed by external forces, but self-destructing as if refusing to attack Bexia.
“Do you feel it?” Bexia calmly extended his hand, inserted it into the Earth God's chest - not causing bloodshed but using spatial power to open his chest and extract something from within.
In an instant, the Earth God seemed to understand what Bexia meant earlier.
“This is mine. Do you think using it against its original owner will work?” Bexia pinched a brown gemstone between his two fingers - the Earth Divinity, the very reason Bexia had acted against the Earth God.
“How is this possible!!!” After saying this, the Earth God's body dispersed like ashes, blown away by the wind.
“Your strength is truly formidable. Perhaps only those God-Kings could match you!” Lanolas descended from the Tower of the Wise, walking to Bexia's side with a smile.
“Dealing with him must be a breeze for you as well?” Bexia and Lanolas exchanged glances, as if Lanolas believed Bexia couldn't see through his strength.
"Oh..." Lanolas hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "While I can defeat him, I would also get injured. It's definitely not as effortless as it seems for you!"
“Well, maybe. I believe a disciple brought up by a great sage capable of sealing a world must be outstanding!”
“What’s your next move?” Lanolas asked, but was interrupted by Bexia.
"The rest is up to you. I just want to leave this world!" Bexia stepped onto the back of a black dragon, gazing down on Lanolas, saying, "I think you would be happy to help, right? After all, it's your teacher's legacy!”
“Of course, but can I ask you to help intercept the three God-Kings? I can't match them alone!” Lanolas requested.
“It depends on the situation. If I'm in a good mood, I might help you out!” Bexia lightly tapped the black dragon, signaling it to take off.
“Where are we going, my lord?” the black dragon inquired.
“Fly in that direction, towards Gaia City!” Bexia responded.
“To Gaia City?”
“I have nowhere else to go, and there's a friend there!” Bexia thought of Thalissa. It had been two months since he left. Had her whimsical nature changed after becoming a ruler?
