Kede the Lava Giant
Violet Star Prefecture, there is a vast, empty area thousands of miles away.
Truman flew over, leading a figure in white robes.
"Kede, pay homage to the great Sovereign." Upon receiving Truman's message, Kede was somewhat excited. Although he was powerful, he did not yet possess any Sovereign Artifact. To become an emissary of the great Sovereign was, in his view, a great honor.
Whether this will work out depends on whether he can pass this test.
Truman was well aware of his strength; even Truman was far inferior to Dimont, and he himself estimated that he would be no match for him. Fortunately, this time he only needed to hold out against him for a while.
"Alright, if you're ready, let's begin the duel." Rog nodded, signaling the two to start immediately.
On the surface, Kede is a thin, white-haired old man who seems somewhat frail. However, only those who have actually fought against him know how terrifying he truly is.
Honestly, I've been using this app to follow my favorite books lately. It has features like switching between different sources, multiple reading voice options, and it works on both Android and Apple devices.
"I became a god from the lava mountain and cultivate the Laws of the Earth, which are most adept at unleashing power. My chances of passing should be very high." Kede thought that if he couldn't pass this test, it would be even more difficult for others.
"Kede, are you ready?" Dimont knew that Kede was probably as tough as the Frost Giant Candice, so he naturally planned to go all out.
"Mr. Dimont, take this!" The white-haired old man, Kede, instantly had crimson demonic flames igniting in his eyes, and his whole body instantly transformed into a 'Lava Man' who looked as hot as molten lava. He swung his lava fists, which were constantly burning with demonic flames, and looked quite powerful.
"Good, this is more interesting!" Seeing the opponent's punch as powerful as a volcanic eruption, Dimont instantly unleashed his latest ultimate move— 'Mountain-Collapsing, Sky-Splitting Fist '!
The two terrifying fists pierced through the very fabric of the Earth Divine Plane almost the instant they were thrown; when they collided, it was as if Mars had struck Earth.
Kede's right fist carried boundless power, operating with the Earth Law Profound Mysteries, and slammed directly towards Dimont. Dimont, not to be outdone, swung his own fist to meet it, and the two engaged in a real clash—fist to fist!
No shortcuts whatsoever, a complete head-on collision!
With a "whoosh," the space shattered like glass, cracking open in dozens of places!
Both Kede and Dimont trembled slightly. Kede took three steps back in Void, while Dimont took one step back.
"I used half my strength and I still couldn't overpower you. You're a worthy opponent!" Dimont excitedly charged forward again, and Kede countered each move. Neither of them used weapons, fighting entirely with their fists and legs.
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
The two clashed and exchanged blows time and again. Kede, relying on his superior speed, moved like a fiery phantom, retreating and advancing! Dimont, on the other hand, stood still, using his fists and legs to block every attack from Kede. With each exchange, Kede was thrown back by the impact.
However, Dimont had to admit that his opponent's physical attributes were indeed quite remarkable, and that the opponent's use of the Laws of the Earth had brought out almost 100% of his physical strength.
Although his opponent was far weaker than him in terms of physical strength, the opponent's Laws of the Earth gave him a significant advantage in both offense and defense. In addition, the opponent was also faster than him, so even though he was much stronger, he couldn't subdue the opponent.
"Kede, I'm getting serious!" Seeing that Kede was actually able to hold his own against him in his 'normal' state, Dimont decided to unleash his innate abilities!
Upon hearing his opponent's warning, Kede looked at Dimont in horror, only to see that the other's entire body was beginning to be covered with a layer of black substance, even his fists were shrouded in this black substance.
Dimont, shrouded in this black substance
Bathed in the light of the sky, it exuded an unimaginable and terrifying oppressive power. "What a terrifying aura!" Kede, transformed into the 'Lava Man,' faced Dimont directly and could directly feel that terrifying and domineering aura!
"Again!" After being 'armed' by this black substance, his opponent's speed had also increased significantly, now no less than his own. Kede immediately activated the profound mysteries of the earth to unleash his strongest punch.
Kede's molten iron fist, transformed into a raging torrent, met Dimont's 'darkened' fist with a burst of energy!
"Boom!"
With a single blow, Kede was instantly sent flying, his body flying uncontrollably hundreds of meters away at an angle. Even the solid stone layer on the surface of his fist shattered instantly.
"That Dimont, what terrifying punches!" This was the first time Kede had encountered such a formidable opponent. Fortunately, the opponent didn't have a grudge against him, otherwise he felt his life would be in danger if the fight continued.
"Hehe, Kede, right? You're the strongest god I've ever met. Don't worry, the Sovereign should let you pass the test." Dimont was quite impressed with Kede; he was the first opponent he'd encountered who required him to use his full strength to crush him.
"Kede, would you be willing to be my messenger?" The image of Rog had always been shrouded in mystery for Truman and Kede, never quite clear. However, this did not prevent Kede from becoming the messenger of this Sovereign.
"Great Sovereign, Kede is willing to serve you." Kede returned to his original form and knelt respectfully on the ground.
"What kind of Sovereign Artifact do you desire?" Rog's voice was grand and mysterious. After only a moment's thought, Kede immediately replied, "My Sovereign, I desire a Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact." He cultivated the Laws of the Earth, so his soul defense was actually quite good, but compared to his physical defense, it was indeed far inferior.
As for his offensive capabilities? Apart from Dimont, probably few people could so easily overwhelm him.
"Alright, I will bestow this bracelet upon you, and I will also grant you 200 drops of the Sovereign’s Might." The Sovereign’s Might that Rog gave him was of the Lightning Element, and Kede guessed that this must be some kind of Lightning Element Sovereign, but he didn't know which one it was.
"Thank you, Sovereign." Kede immediately accepted the purple bracelet with joy, and after dripping his blood to bind it to him, he allowed it to protect his soul. With this Sovereign Artifact, unless he encountered a freak like Dimont again, he would hardly have any more opponents.
"This Dimont's body is incredibly strong. I estimate that if Griffith could also fuse with the fifth profound mystery, he would have a chance to pass this test. Right now, he's still far from it." Griffith was also a very powerful individual whom Kede knew, from the long-declining Black Earth Clan.
However, in Kede's view, Griffith was merely a being who had barely touched the threshold of Asura status due to his physical strength. His comprehension of profound mysteries was not high, only four types. At present, his strength was probably far from sufficient.
"Sovereign, although the Blazing Rock Continent is vast, only that one, Kede, truly meets your requirements. As for the rest..." Kede's display of strength this time greatly surprised Truman, but his appearance did satisfy the great Sovereign's needs, so Truman was quite pleased.
However, apart from this Kede, he really couldn't find any other powerful beings who could meet the needs of the Sovereign.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be able to fight Dimont; those with other special abilities are also acceptable," Rog added at the opportune moment. He also knew that only a minority of gods could rival Dimont in terms of power.
If someone excels in other areas, such as having extraordinary Soul Attack abilities, or possessing unique talents like Medusa, they can be recruited exceptionally.
"Yes, Sovereign. Then let's go to Qinglun Prefecture next. There is also a god there with special abilities Truman Sovereign in agreement and immediately thought of another person.
The three then set off again.
