A Shocking Turn

The Bomb Gems in the King's Gem were not especially powerful on their own.

But when several Bomb Gems detonated at once, their power stacked and multiplied. The maximum was ten.

This time, Zhang Ping had scattered not ten Bomb Gems, but thirty.

That was nearly equivalent to detonating a high-yield nuclear missile. Its power was easy to imagine.

After the explosion,

everyone stared at the sky in disbelief. Even the clouds had been blasted open, leaving a vast hole.

There was no mushroom cloud, but the blast had spread far and wide. Its force could be felt even dozens of miles away.

A long moment passed.

The Awakened finally came to their senses and began talking over one another.

They were stunned, but not afraid. If anything, they were thrilled. Zhang Ping was one of Mingzhu City's own, so the stronger he was, the better.

"Giant God Zhang Ping... Why does 'Giant God' feel a little off? What about... Great God Zhang Ping?" an Awakened muttered.

A young Awakened woman objected. "Great God sounds strange. Giant God is better."

"Then how about God King?" the first Awakened asked.

Another Awakened retorted, "God King sounds like 'dead and gone.' Why not King of the Gods?"

"Zhang Ping may be strong, but does he have anyone under his command worthy of being called a god? That title won't do, won't do," a bookish man said with a scholarly air.

A boy said quietly, "The one who was fighting Sao Junfu just now was pretty strong. What if... we gave him a title? Something like... Divine Envoy?"

"Divine Envoy, serving the King of the Gods. Now that has a certain ring to it," an Awakened said, rubbing his chin.

As the crowd debated, Zhang Ping and Shi Jun clashed again.
