A piercing screeching sound exploded on the summit of Sword Peak Mountain.
The seemingly indestructible rock base of the divine realm shattered completely.
Gravel flew everywhere.
Turles gripped the rough, ancient hilt of the sword with one hand, his arm muscles suddenly tensing.
With a metallic scraping sound, the Z Sword, which had been sealed away for countless years, was forcibly pulled out from the depths of the rock!
Turles raised the incredibly heavy longsword high above his head with one hand.
The slender blade gleamed with an ancient, mottled, cold light in the dim light of the divine realm.
Shin's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
His mouth was agape.
Kibito, standing next to him, covered his head with both hands.
it turns out!
The legendary divine sword!
It was actually pulled out so easily!
Turles completely ignored the two stunned men beside him.
He carefully examined the intricate and ancient patterns on the sword.
At this moment, Merus, who was standing nearby, also came over and examined the Z Sword with Turles.
He shook his head slightly, but couldn't discern anything extra...
Turles then suddenly twisted his wrist.
The heavy Z Sword instantly transformed into a blur in his hand.
A violent gust of wind suddenly rose up.
The blade tore through the air, producing an extremely sharp and piercing sound.
The surrounding airflow was pulverized by this brute force, forming tiny cyclones visible to the naked eye.
The strong wind forced Xin and Kibito to retreat, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.
Turles stopped moving.
He casually slung the most sacred longsword in the entire universe over his shoulder.
The weight is acceptable.
Turles' tone was extremely flat.
"It certainly looks like a good sword."
He paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at the two people beside him who were still in a daze.
"However, Supreme Kai... what about the supreme power you mentioned earlier?"
"Why didn't I feel anything?"
This question completely baffled Xin and Kibito.
Xin swallowed hard and quickly stepped forward.
He circled Turles twice, looking him up and down.
yes.
What about the supreme power that can be obtained by pulling out the Z Sword, as legend says?
Xin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"This..."
Xin stammered as she spoke, her mind racing.
"Perhaps! The power is hidden within the divine sword!"
The more he talked, the more sense it made, and his tone became more confident.
"That's right! The divine sword has been dormant for too long; it definitely needs to be awakened through actual combat to unleash its true power!"
"Mr. Turles, you can try channeling power into it, or use it to slash at something!"
Turles, sword in hand, watched expressionlessly as Xin frantically tried to salvage the situation.
However, he was internally exercising considerable control over his facial expressions.
The thought of what was going to happen next made him want to laugh...
But he didn't show it at all on the surface.
Turles shook his head dismissively.
"That sounds a bit troublesome."
He pretended to mention it casually.
"Speaking of which, Supreme Kai, since this is a supreme treasure of your Sacred World of the Kai, it must be incredibly sharp, right?"
"Why don't we just find something hard enough to try it on?"
Xin's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
That makes perfect sense!
The sharpness of a divine sword naturally needs to be tested on the hardest touchstone!
He suddenly raised his hands.
A blinding white light exploded in the open space ahead.
The light faded.
A cube, about half a person's height and with a dark gray metallic sheen, crashed heavily onto the ground.
The dull thud shook the entire mountaintop.
Xin pointed at the piece of metal, his face full of confidence.
"Mr. Turles! This is Katchin Metal!"
"That is, the hardest substance in the universe, Katchin!"
Xin proudly puffed out his chest.
"That's right! If it were an ordinary weapon, it would be instantly shattered upon contact with Katchin Metal!"
Kibito stared fervently at the divine sword on Turles' shoulder.
"But this is the Z Sword!"
"If you use the divine sword to cut through it, even the hardest Katchin in the entire universe will be easily split in two!"
The two men, singing in unison, were filled with blind superstition about the sword's power.
Merus, who had been standing with his arms crossed at the edge, narrowed his eyes slightly.
He silently took two steps back.
Turles didn't waste any words.
He took the divine sword off his shoulder.
They walked up to the enormous piece of Katchin.
Grip the sword hilt with both hands.
The muscles in his arms swelled instantly, and the veins bulged.
He raised the Z Sword high above his head.
Align it with the Katchin below.
He chopped down hard!
The blade, carrying immense force, tore through the air and slammed into the metal surface.
Click--!
A crisp, even somewhat jarring, cracking sound echoed across the empty mountaintop.
The fervent smiles on Xin and Kibito's faces froze completely in that instant.
The Z Sword did not split Katchin in two as they boasted.
It was cut in two very neatly right in the middle!
Clang!
The upper half of the sword slammed onto the hard rocky ground, bounced twice, and rolled to Xin's feet.
A deathly silence enveloped Sword Peak.
Xin stared blankly down at the broken sword at his feet.
Kibito's mouth was agape, his eyes practically bulging out...
"Aaaaaaaahh...
Xin's knees buckled, and he knelt directly on the ground.
