Facing Hemus
Over the next period of time, Truman led this Sovereign to four or five different places, but none of these powerful individuals were ultimately noticed by the Sovereign.
"Alright, I've pretty much seen all of the Blazing Rock Continent. Now I'll head straight to the Sinking Earth Continent." Although he hadn't recruited a satisfactory envoy, he had thoroughly enjoyed the diverse natural scenery of the Blazing Rock Continent along the way.
Unlike other Higher Plane and Divine Plane, in the Earth Divine Plane, the land area far exceeds the sea area, so there are many towering mountains, deserts, basins, and other terrestrial natural landscapes.
"Yes, Sovereign, then I shall take my leave." Truman was actually quite curious about this mysterious Sovereign.
He thought to himself, "Just how powerful is this mysterious Sovereign? Why was the Blazing Rock Sovereign so cautious when he gave me his instructions? I even sensed that... the Blazing Rock Sovereign was quite afraid of this person. His attitude was so humble."
Truman estimated that even the Earth Sovereign, the Blazing Rock Sovereign, might not be that afraid. However, this was a matter between great Sovereign, and no matter how curious he was, he dared not ask further.
"Boss, next, it's time to go meet that Hemus. I've heard he's incredibly strong." After seeing Truman off, Dimont knew he'd soon be facing Hemus, and his blood was instantly pumping.
"Don't rush, this Hemus is the messenger of the Earth Sovereign. Let me greet him first." The Earth Sovereign is actually the Sinking Earth Sovereign of this Sinking Earth Continent. With a thought, Rog immediately descended to the Earth God Sinking Earth Divine Palace Sinking Earth Sovereign resided.
"So Lord Rog came to see Hemus. I'll have him come over right away." The Earth Sovereign actually avoided Rog like the plague. Let alone just asking Hemus to go over and spar with someone, even if Rog asked him for this Sovereign's Emissary, he wouldn't dare to refuse.
Whirling Rock Mountain Range.
A three-meter-tall man with a monstrous head of hair like a lion sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, seemingly unafraid of the terrifying swirling air currents surrounding the peak.
Hemus was also wondering to himself, why had the Sovereign suddenly come looking for him this time?
Although he was considered a relatively powerful Sovereign's Emissary, the Sovereign rarely asked him to do anything other than things like Planar Battlefield and expeditions.
However, this time, the Sinking Earth Sovereign gave him a strange task: to fight another god?
"Moreover, the Sovereign also wants me to go easy on him, and even better, lose this match?" Although Hemus is often called a 'big, dumb oaf,' that's just his opponents' way of teasing him. In reality, Hemus is no fool.
Recalling the tone of the Sinking Earth Sovereign's voice when they spoke, Hemus could sense that the Sinking Earth Sovereign had placed himself in a lower position, unconsciously considering himself inferior.
"The Sinking Earth Sovereign Earth Sovereign. If even he is so afraid of him, could it be that this Dimont is related to the Four Rules Sovereigns?" Hemus had been Sovereign's Emissary for a long time and had connections with many of the Sovereign' children, so he had some understanding of the power levels among the Sovereign.
The only beings that could inspire such fear in the Sinking Earth Sovereign are probably the Four Rules Sovereigns.
"Hemus!"
In the distance, a Metallic Lifeform marked with lightning bolts sped towards them, and a burly man in black with short black hair suddenly flew towards him. Seeing that this Hemus was actually three meters tall, the black-haired burly man also transformed himself to be three meters tall, showing no sign of backing down in terms of imposing presence.
"That silly kid, he even deliberately grew taller, thinking that would be useful? Fine, considering the Sovereign's instructions, I won't bully him too much." Hemus had also heard that Dimont wanted to compete with him in a contest of physical attacks, and that both of them were fighting with their fists and feet.
In this kind of duel, aside from those at the Paragon, is there anyone who could defeat Hemus?
"You're Dimont?" The burly man with messy blond hair stood up.
Simply standing atop the mountain, an extraordinary aura swept over them. "That's right, today we'll see whose fist is stronger and harder!" From Dimont's dark golden eyes, a terrifying and fierce killing intent instantly emanated.
The summit of the Whirling Rock Mountain Range remained as silent and cold as ever.
Hemus stood three meters tall, his entire body seemingly cast in steel, with unruly golden hair, a turned-up nose, and a gaping maw! His golden eyes fixed on his enemy, and he frowned, snorting, "You've got guts, daring to challenge me, Hemus, to a fistfight. I'll show you the difference between us."
Hemus already knew that this person was not at the Paragon; if he wasn't at the Paragon, no one was qualified to fight him!
"Anyone can talk big, let's see what they've got!" Dimont was not angered by Hemus ' contempt. Instead, he immediately used his innate ability, covering his entire body with that terrifying black substance.
"Hmm? This is... No wonder you dared to challenge me to a fistfight, you actually have some skill..." Hemus touched his upturned nose, grinned to reveal a set of golden teeth, "However, you're still far from good enough!"
Without another word, Hemus slammed his right leg into the ground, causing the earth beneath his feet to tremble violently. A terrifying, spiderweb-like crack appeared on the mountaintop, spreading in all directions. Hemus himself was enveloped in a golden aura, like a golden war god, and charged directly towards Dimont.
"Well done!" Dimont's eyes burned with fervor, his fighting spirit boiling. With a loud "boom!", he stomped his foot and threw a straight punch at Hemus!
"Boom!"
"Hmm? This kid is incredibly strong?" Hemus didn't use his full strength in his first punch, afraid of hurting his opponent. However, he immediately noticed the immense power of his opponent and his body, which was even harder than a divine artifact.
In this first exchange, the two were evenly matched, and they separated to stand atop the mountain once more.
"But that's not enough!" Hemus roared, and his legs suddenly shone with a blinding golden light.
"Boom!" "Boom!" Hemus stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the ground at the top of the mountain cracked completely under his foot. However, because of the terrifying force of the stomp, a strong rebound force was also generated, which increased Hemus' speed again.
"Hemus, taste this punch again!" Dimont's roar echoed in Hemus's mind, and his black iron fist was already swinging out once more—
Hemus looked up and saw that Hemus was covered in dense black matter, forming a close-fitting battle armor. He was carrying a terrifying aura of destruction and was rushing towards him!
"Such powerful force." Hemus frowned.
He could sense that the opponent's move only used the Highgod Power, not the Sovereign’s Might, but its power was still far beyond the range of Asura powerhouse.
Hemus continued to throw punches, aiming at Dimont's black iron fist. Dimont had to admit that Hemus was indeed exceptionally talented and possessed immense strength. Even when he unleashed his innate abilities, he didn't gain the slightest advantage in power.
Finally, under the blazing sun, Hemus' golden fist clashed with Dimont's terrifying black fist!
"Crack!" The power of Dimont's punch finally erupted.
This is his strongest punch— God Splitter!
"Pfft!" A huge crack instantly appeared in the space where the two were fighting.
Dimont was jolted backward, Hemus also trembled. He looked down at his fist in surprise; the metallic skin on his fist had cracked, and a trickle of blood seeped out, but it was quickly healed.
Dimont stood not far away, inwardly sighing. This Hemus's true form was indeed as solid as Gold Mountain, truly indestructible.
It should be noted that his strongest punch, ' God Splitter,' is enhanced with the characteristics of his innate abilities. The black substance permeating his entire body at this moment is not simply about increasing his strength, defense, and speed, but also carries an 'indestructible' tearing property.
After he incorporated this characteristic into his ' God Splitter ' punch, even beings like the Earth Giant and the Volcano Giant would have their bodies easily shattered by him. But this Hemus was only slightly scratched, which shows how strong his physical attributes are.
