Chapter 241: Clash of Lightning! (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Inside the grand hall.
"Dark Blue..." A Grand Duke was slightly displeased and was about to say more.
But Insomnia Emperor waved his hand: "Enough."
Two words slipped from Insomnia's mouth, yet they rendered the grand hall so silent that a pin drop could be heard. It was as if what Insomnia spoke were not words, but laws.
Logically speaking, the noble council is the grand event of the entire Naseng, a "grand event" that all races other than the Human Race dislike.
Because during this noble council, they would witness the Gula Kingdom gaining more and more powerful nobles.
Every increase in power for those nobles meant a greater chance of them seizing their resources.
The planes are endless, yet Naseng is the foundation!
The merfolk of Naseng are even smarter than the dragons of subordinate planes!
It's the arrogance of all Naseng people, something they take pride in.
Only with more territories in Naseng can more powerhouses be born, and can they gain more planes in the All Heavens Star Realm!
Thus, the noble council, from its beginnings, evolved to its present state, no longer just an internal affair of the Human Gula Kingdom, but an affair of the entire Naseng Continent.
However...
The Insomnia Emperor is now in power, one of the most powerful kings in the history of the Gula Kingdom.
"No need to say more." Insomnia waved his hand towards the crowd.
The bodies of the people instinctively returned to their seats, the virtual shadows behind them no longer could support their bodies, but were instead torn to pieces by a word from Insomnia.
"Benadonna, kill the Shaman." Insomnia said indifferently once more: "In Naseng, the Human Race is supreme."
Dark Maiden Benadonna!
"Alright." Dark Maiden Benadonna summoned her mount on the spot, rode it to the outside of Insomnia Emperor's dark area, and then melted into darkness, disappearing without a trace.
The crowd still wanted to speak, but Insomnia Emperor simply returned to his seat.
He drew out the two swords from his sides with a "clang" and threw them down, crossing them in the passageway between the crowd.
One black and one white sword, with spots and rust, and dried blood stains on them.
The pupils of the crowd suddenly contracted.
The two swords were closest to the Sun God and the Ice Crystal Giant Deer.
On the black sword blade, there was a faint white bloodstain, the heart blood of the previous king of the Holy Life Alliance. The powerful white tiger, who had suppressed the Sun God for five hundred years, was beheaded by Insomnia with one sword, giving rise to the current king.
On the white sword blade, there was an unfrozen ice crystal, which the Frost Giant Deer knew was left by the highest council member of the Eternal Freeze Court, the Ice and Snow Goddess, as a trace of law condensed after her divine status was cut off from the sword.
Apart from these two, various other forces saw terrifying legends they had heard on themselves on the sword blades.
Great forces felt fear, while smaller forces, if they saw traces of their ancestors on the blade, would only feel honored.
To be slain by Insomnia Emperor using the black and white swords, one had to be a super powerhouse.
Ordinary people would never require Insomnia Emperor to act; even his descendants could handle them.
And with these two swords planted there, no one dared to speak.
"The Human Race is supreme, any objections?" Insomnia's eyes seemed like two burning suns, daring no one to look directly at him.
So, Insomnia Emperor closed his eyes to continue resting.
As his eyes opened and closed, the laws of light and darkness silently transformed.
The laws of light receded, and the laws of darkness spread once again.
...
Blood-stained path.
Lin Ke's face changed drastically.
A legendary?!
How is it possible?!
Does the Gula Kingdom allow a legendary to cause chaos on the Blood-stained Path?
"Master, retreat!"
Lin Ke shouted, returning to the knight order.
The People's Knight Order had already stopped charging and instead, under Lin Ke's command, began harvesting the lives of the Wild Boar-man Shield Guards.
Without the interference of the Great Shaman, harvesting was extremely effortless.
However...
That Great Shaman turned out to be a legendary?
Unexpected!
Moreover, this Great Shaman targeted him and Ove, appearing prepared.
After all, anyone with a bit of intelligence knew that Lin Ke would surely attend this noble council, as being promoted to a noble would be rewarded with planes.
But Lin Ke's enemies, or rather those he had conflicts with, were only three: the Moon Goddess, the Eldest Prince, and the Dark Maiden.
The first two had conflicts with the entire Azanen, while the last held Butler Billy's soul.
Besides that, Lin Ke hadn't actually offended anyone.
The King of Magical Beasts, for example, had now become his underling!
"Who could it be..."
Just as Lin Ke's thought emerged, an explosion came from over there.
"Thunder... is my domain!"
The Wild Boar Great Shaman laughed wildly, raising his skeletal staff to block Ove's attack.
At the same time, the lightning on Ove seemed drawn by an invisible vortex, flowing like water towards the Wild Boar Great Shaman's staff.
The Wild Boar Great Shaman was absorbing Ove's Power of Thunder!
Unprepared, Ove stumbled.
"Life Deprivation!"
The Wild Boar-man opened his arms towards Ove, using the powerful current to immobilize him, while the skull staff in his hand shot green-glowing gray mist straight at Ove's face.
Ove wasn't panicked at this moment, though his Power of Thunder was being absorbed, he still had other skills to use.
"Resistance Ring!"
Ove's Thunder Staff pounded the ground, a vague light gray ring burst from his body, spreading around with his body as the center.
A skill belonging to mechanics—the Resistance Ring!
Ove's specialization, one was mechanics, the other was electricity, and now he had added electromagnetism.
Previously, Ove was half a master of mechanics!
The Resistance Ring expanded outward, pushing all life forms away from Ove.
Yet, when it met the Wild Boar Shaman, it seemed to encounter great resistance, unable to push the Wild Boar Shaman away.
Simultaneously, the Wild Boar Shaman's skill was also blocked by Ove's "Thunder Pressure" shield.
"What skill is this of yours!" The Wild Boar Shaman opened his foul-smelling mouth, squinting his small eyes.
This was the second time his skill was blocked!
Previously, even those who achieved legendary status through wind-based laws couldn't block it. Who could have thought that Ove and Lin Ke's skills could?
But the Wild Boar Shaman, experienced as he was, waved his hand to spread billowing gray fog, while dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder roared.
"With Thunder… shatter the darkness!" At this moment, Ove's hair and beard stood on end, his voice grand: "True Form of Thunder!"
The laws of thunder gathered around Ove, and his form rapidly expanded, forming an entire giant made of thunder.
The nobles advancing on the Blood-stained Path looked at Ove in astonishment, and even those far away in Fine Iron Giant City could see Ove's figure.
Shatter the darkness with thunder!
Like a heavenly thunder, the sound drew everyone in the city to look, seeing the giant of thunder over a hundred meters high, each more shocked than the last.
Legendary Powerhouse!
It should be the newly ascended Legendary Powerhouse Ove!
At this moment, within tens of miles, two different laws of thunder were rioting!
Countless professionals looked up, gazing towards the area of elemental distortion.
This time's noble council, there's a change!!
