Jason's displayed strength far exceeded the understanding of most powerful figures on the Yulan Continent, so no one came to inquire about him for a short time. Even Tarosse and the others stood three meters away from Jason, like servants.
Jason was surrounded by his close friends and family.
Veronica looked at her husband with a conflicted expression. "Back then, we were about the same age and had similar strength, but I never imagined that I would still be Saint-level while you are Highgod."
Linda, Clear Spring, Barek, and Ivan, the Twin-Headed Silver Dragon Ivan of the Saint-level, all nodded. They were all old acquaintances of Jason, but now only Clear Spring had broken through to the Lowgod level on his own.
"I am not Highgod; I merely defeated Highgod god with the strength of Midgod."
Jason knew that these people didn't understand the power Deity-level and thought that Jason had somehow reached the Highgod and was concealing his aura.
After all, within the current Rhine Empire, only Dylan and Tarosse are veteran Deity-level. Other Deity-level, including Linley, who has a close relationship with Beirut, are still in a state of ignorance regarding the various knowledge of Deity-level beings.
Monica immediately retorted, "I've sparred with Tarosse. As a mid- Water Element Midgod, he's not good at soul attacks, but he's still more than I can handle. Our total soul power differs by at least a hundred times! The difference between Highgod and Midgod is even greater!"
"But once the two Profound Mysteries you've comprehended are fully integrated, their power is a hundred times greater than the power of the two Profound Mysteries individually!" Jason patted Monica's head; he was quite proud of his daughter's talent.
"However, the purity of the Divine Power is also dozens of times lower!"
Monica's comprehension of the laws is quite high, allowing her to descend to a depth among Lowgod that is considered exceptional. Therefore, the purity of her Divine Power power is not much different from that of Midgod.
"Your physical strength is more than ten times greater than his!"
The physical strength of the Four Divine Beasts Clan is renowned throughout various planes, far surpassing that of the lowest-level divine beast, the Ba-Serpent.
Jason continued, "As long as Profound Mysteries's comprehension of profound mysteries is strong enough, one's soul accumulation is not weak, and one possesses a high-quality Divine Artifact, challenging opponents of higher levels is not impossible. In fact, I know several Midgod who can single-handedly kill weaker Highgod."
Jason wasn't bragging. His dead body and Lightning Clone were still in Skyfall City. Johanna's elite Fiend squad had many Three-Star Fiend, despite being Midgod, could kill Highgod who Refine Divine Spark. Even ordinary Four Star Fiend had to be cautious when encountering these elite Three-Star Fiend, or they would easily be defeated.
Jason added, "Moreover, in my opinion, Monica, Linley, Wharton, Bebe, Olivier, Clear Spring, all of you have the potential to reach the pinnacle of Highgod in the future. If you can endure the loneliness and fuse with more profound Profound Mysteries during your Midgod period, reaching my current strength won't be difficult."
The group exchanged glances, wondering if Jason was just trying to comfort them. After all, they had only recently broken through to the Deity-level and their perspectives were still too limited.
A year has passed, Jason has been focusing on his training. Adkins has not commented on the previous events, and Jason has not deliberately provoked trouble.
Jason believed he was currently no match for Adkins, since the latter was a dual-elemental Highgod of light and darkness. Jason's two Midgod domains combined were barely enough to contend with a single-elemental Highgod, let alone a dual-elemental Highgod. Moreover, the Crystal Space had a certain amount of pre-cast delay before it could be opened, making it impossible to capture fast-moving enemies within its space.
Jason heard that a considerable number of Deity-level had appeared in the Yulan Empire, and he guessed that they might be the group that descended from the Darkness Element. Considering the timing, it was about right, so he dared not show off any longer.
Even if he used the Sovereign’s Might, he would still have a hard time fighting Seven Star Fiend- level expert.
On this day, several guests arrived at Dragonblood Castle.
Currently, Jason's Water Clone and his main body have returned to the Divine Plane beneath Dragonblood Castle to cultivate, while the remaining clones have stayed here to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
He was originally watching Jenny lead several array masters in attempting to repair the Deathgod Golem.
Jenny was rescued by Jason in her early years, who discovered her innate talent for destiny. Later, she married Wharton, and over the years, in the environment of Dragonblood Castle, she finally broke through to the Saint-level.
She showed exceptional talent in magic arrays, and Jason specially copied a book on magic arrays collected in the Netherworld for her.
Because the Deathgod Golem was covered in cracks after being attacked by Pan in the Necropolis of the Gods, it was brought out for Jenny to try to repair.
"The magic array inside is too profound, and some part of it must have a secret function. If we forcibly disassemble it, it will explode." Jenny originally wanted to disassemble it and replace the cracked outer shell, but in the end she didn't dare to do it.
Jason didn't expect Jenny to be able to repair it, since there were no replacement materials on the Yulan Continent. It was purely a trial run for the younger generation. The Deathgod Golem was only damaged enough to be destroyed after another battle with Highgod, so there was no need to be stingy.
"Ahem." A cough came from behind, clearly someone was deliberately trying to remind him.
Jason turned around and looked behind him.
There are six people, and judging from their positions, they should be from two different camps.
Bernas and another Midgod stood behind a young man, presumably Adkins; the other three were also Highgod, two Midgod, and the leading Highgod had black hair and red eyebrows, which Jason guessed was Bluefire.
Who are you?
"I am Adkins, and this is our King of Bluefire City, Lord Bluefire," Adkins introduced himself.
The commotion from Jason and Erwin's battle was so great that Bluefire couldn't help but observe for a while using his divine sense. However, he himself wasn't skilled in using his soul, which Adkins noticed, leading to their collaboration today.
Jason understood, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Please come inside."
Note: Regarding Bluefire's strength, I believe he hadn't reached the level of near- Paragon perfection at this stage. This is because in the original work, he fought Sadista from the Infernal Realm with all his might.
The patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans are only at the Prefect-level, and Sadista is at most a peak Seven Star Fiend. If a strong person is just one step away from the Paragon level, they can deal with Seven Star Fiend in just one move.
At this time, Bluefire was probably at the Prefect-level. He must have refined his Sovereign Spark quite late in life. He likely gained some insights while protecting Linley and Bebe to the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and then obtained his Sovereign Spark.
