The Test (Part Two)
"Smack!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The deafening roars echoing through the Void drew a large crowd of powerful figures from around Blackfang City to watch. The terrifying battle between Chase and Dimont left them utterly dumbfounded. Each punch caused space itself to collapse.
If it hit someone, how many people could withstand it?
After a long while, perhaps feeling he had had enough of the fight, Dimont finally stopped. Chase, on the other hand, felt his limbs were completely numb. It was only because of him; if it were on that Flying Star, he would probably be missing limbs by now.
By the way,... [version].
"Haha, Chase, your physical attack is about 20% as good as mine. Sovereign, let this kid pass." Dimont was very satisfied with Chase's strength. To be able to withstand so many punches with 20% of his power, Chase was indeed no ordinary person.
Chase was initially quite unconvinced by the big guy opposite him, but after actually fighting him, he realized how terrifying his opponent was. The opponent's body was probably even harder than the divine weapon he had nurtured for many years; even if he just stood there and let him hit him, it would be difficult to break through his defenses.
"Huh? This big guy..." Unexpectedly, this guy actually spoke well of him in front of the Sovereign. Chase, who was originally planning to use his Innate Divine Ability, immediately gave up the idea and looked in the direction of Rog and the other two.
"Chase, your strength is indeed impressive, worthy of serving as my envoy. What kind of Sovereign Artifact do you desire?" This Chase is indeed physically powerful. Dimont's current physical strength is probably second only to Hemus among the gods. If he were to unleash his full power, few besides those at the Paragon stage could withstand it.
It's quite impressive that Chase managed to fight Dimont to this extent with his fists.
"My Sovereign, I desire an Offensive Sovereign Artifact." Chase immediately knelt down and stated his request.
Unlike ordinary powerful individuals who excel in physical strength, Chase also possesses considerable expertise in soul defense. Furthermore, his Innate Divine Ability is a terrifying Soul Attack, so he has no obvious weaknesses in the soul realm.
On the contrary, in terms of attack, the Lightning Law he cultivated were insufficient to fully utilize the advantages of his physical strength. If he had an Offensive Sovereign Artifact, his strength would definitely rise to another level.
"Very well, this warhammer is yours." Rog knew that Chase originally liked to use a warhammer, and since he happened to have two in his inventory, he just picked one to give to the other.
"Thank you Sovereign!" Chase immediately beamed with joy as he accepted the golden warhammer and a small, crystal-clear jade bottle containing the Thunder Sovereign Power bestowed upon him by the Sovereign.
It should be noted that these Offensive Sovereign Artifact also come in various styles, such as axes, longswords, and War Saber. The Sovereign specially bestowed upon him a warhammer Sovereign Artifact, which naturally shows that he appreciated him.
"Alright, next up, it's your turn." The previous fight was just a warm-up. Dimont rubbed his hands together, eager to try his luck with the remaining 'pretty boy.' He hoped the kid could take a beating.
"Kolen, I suggest you don't try to out-attack this Dimont with physical attacks." At this moment, Chase had a close relationship with Kolen, also sent Soul Transmission to Flying Star.
Don't be fooled by how fiercely he fought that big guy; if Kolen were to imitate him, he'd probably be shattered in a single exchange.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Kolen knew very well how strong Chase was physically, but even with such strength, Chase was easily overwhelmed. Kolen wasn't some powerful mythical Divine Beast; under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare to face Chelsea head-on.
However, he wasn't without any trump cards.
"Kid, are you ready?" Dimont stood still, signaling for his opponent to attack first.
Kolen didn't feel that the other party was looking down on him; instead, he took out a black glove and put it on his right hand.
In fact, Kolen's greatest strength was speed; otherwise, he wouldn't have been nicknamed "Flying Star." However, he also realized that one of the key factors in passing today's assessment was...
It seems he needs to gain Dimont's approval. If he only relies on speed to dodge, the other party naturally won't be satisfied.
"Mr. Dimont, take this!" Kolen leaped forward, laughing as he threw a punch.
"Kid, you've got guts!" Dimont knew very well that although Kolen was Soul Mutator, his physical strength was average. Daring to punch him like that, he could easily perish. Dimont didn't dare to use too much force, but he still used ten percent of his strength to strike back.
Fist and palm collided, shattering space, but Kolen was clearly at a disadvantage and was thrown back by the impact.
"Hmm?" Despite being at a disadvantage, the fact that Kolen hadn't even been injured was somewhat surprising to everyone. Especially Chase, who seemed to be seeing this guy for the first time.
"Interesting." Dimont seemed to sense something, suddenly burst into laughter, and went to meet them again.
Despite his initial shock, Kolen remained calm and continued to fight with his right arm. It was his only remaining arm that could barely hold his own against his opponent, so he dared not be careless. However, as the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. A small lapse in concentration instantly exposed an opening. Dimont grabbed Kolen's arm and swung him around.
Kolen was instantly horrified. He took a deep breath and used his right arm, which was being held, as a fulcrum to steady himself. He suddenly exerted force with his arm and tried to swing Dimont back.
"Oh no!" Kolen instantly felt as if he were a mere mortal trying to carry a mountain on his back, overestimating his own abilities.
The idea was good, but Dimont's physical strength far exceeded his imagination. He tried his best but couldn't budge his opponent's body in the slightest.
"Ugh!" No matter how red-faced he was, or even how much his bones were exposed, it was all in vain.
"Heh, you're quite interesting, kid." Although the other party failed to overthrow him as he wished, the power that had just erupted was close to thirty percent of his own strength. And this Kolen was clearly just an ordinary human; it seemed he had some secrets.
"My Sovereign, this kid's strength isn't weak either, let him pass too." Dimont didn't delve into it further, since he was only responsible for testing these guys anyway.
"Kolen, your strength is indeed enough to qualify you to be my Sovereign's Emissary. What kind of Sovereign Artifact do you desire?" This Kolen did indeed have some secrets. However, all sorts of fortuitous encounters were possible in the Coiling Dragon World, so Rog didn't pay too much attention.
He could tell that the opponent's so-called trump card was simply to increase the strength of his single arm, and that the increase in strength was only considered relatively useful among those in Commander.
"Great Sovereign, I desire a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact." Kolen's face lit up with a delighted smile; it seemed his choice had indeed pleased Dimont. He wondered what the relationship was between Dimont and the Great Sovereign, that he could influence the assessment results of those being tested to such an extent.
"Very well, then I will bestow this armor upon you." Rog nodded, and with a casual gesture, a dark purple armor flew towards Kolen.
"Thank you, Sovereign!" After Kolen pledged his blood to the armor, he integrated it into his body. He was overjoyed. With this Material Defense Sovereign Artifact, he wouldn't have to worry too much even if he encountered a formidable opponent like Dimont again.
After all, he was Soul Mutator and skilled in speed, and his previous 'trump card' was more than enough in terms of attack. Now, with this Material Defense Sovereign Artifact to make up for his last weakness, it can be said that unless he encounters Paragon, he doesn't need to be too wary of other Commander powerhouses.
With a faint smile, Rog took out another small black jade bottle and said, "There are 100 drops of Thunder Sovereign Power in here. You can keep it."
"Thank you Sovereign." Kolen immediately accepted the small jade bottle with delight. Becoming Sovereign's Emissary and obtaining the Sovereign’s Might was so easy.
"Two lucky guys." Lambert, who had been watching from the sidelines, sighed inwardly. If it weren't for the emergence of a new Sovereign, these two, even if they had some special qualities, wouldn't have been able to become Sovereign's Emissary so smoothly.
These two were already exceptionally strong, and now that they have obtained the Sovereign Artifact, their strength is probably no less than his.
