Chapter 97 - Shifting Targets (1/2)
”Kneel.”
An unimaginably powerful gravitational force suddenly descended on the bodies of everyone there.
Under this omnipresent force, the two Bishops of Nox were slammed down to their knees even with their battle armour.
Terror.
Unprecedented terror filled the hearts of the two Bishops of Nox as they felt the wrath of their King.
Had they done something wrong to offend their King?
If so, that was truly a crime that couldn't be resolved even if they died a thousand times.
Di Tian and the others weren't doing much better of course.
Although they were quite a bit stronger than the two Bishops of Nox, Huang Yu's control over gravity wasn't something any being below the level of Gods could resist.
Di Tian's eyes grew red as he was pushed into the ground.
This was humiliating to him!
This human that he had though was at best merely required a slap for him to easily kill for the sake of their King...
The only other time he had ever been this humiliated was when he had that large snake in the oceans a few weeks ago.
It had been chased like a dog after it had been suppressed by that pal—
Wait…
This felt kind of similar to that time…
A look of realisation appeared on Di Tian's face before it shifted into one of object horror.
”You are—”
”Silence.”
”I didn't allow you to speak.”
He tried his best to let out even the slightest hint of his voice, but it was to no avail.
The horror in Di Tian's eyes increased as he realised the sheer implications of something like this.
This was the strength of a God!
Just like that day!
But how? The Divine Realm had long gone, and no being should be able to ascend to that level anymore!
At this moment, another question popped into the mind of the three Great Beasts prostrating on the ground.
What about their King?
Although they knew that this boy had a very ambiguous relationship with their King(to their knowledge), from the words of the two Bishops there, this boy was their King?
Among the spirit beasts, the King of Nox was a horrible villain, even slightly above those people from the Sun Moon Federation.
He was playing with their King's feelings all al—
”Huang Yu…”
A soft voice resounded before a slender foot stepped through the spatial crack that Huang Yu had created.
A silver-haired woman emerged before she walked up to the side of the King of Nox.
Shock erupted in their minds, but it quickly turned into relief seeing that their King wasn't harmed in the slightest.
In fact, she seemed even more radiant than she had been previously!
Glancing towards Gu Yue, Huang Yu's expression softened slightly.
However, it quickly hardened once more as he shifted his gaze back onto his two Bishops that were in a kowtow on the ground.
”The two of you, tell me...”
”What's going on with Star Dou Forest?”
Hearing these words, Romario and Xiao Chen felt as if the world was collapsing on top of them as their King's imperious might radiated throughout the mountain.
It shook heavily as rocks began crumbling from the rage of the King!
All of a sudden, a figure suddenly popped up.
It was an old man, letting lose the power of a Titled Douluo as nine rings appeared behind him.
”WHO DARES TO INVADE THE TERRITORY OF THE TANG SE—”
The old man never got to finish his words as a giant palm above him before he was swatted to the ground like an insect.
”Insolent fly…”
”You're not worthy of interrupting this King's conversation.”
Huang Yu's voice was cold yet imperious, like that of a supreme hegemon looking down upon the world.
He hadn't even deigned to look at the Titled Douluo, showing his blatant disregard for existences of that level.
Di Tian and the others felt a cold sweat pour down their face,
Too strong!
Even though it was a weak Titled Douluo that anyone in this place could easily decimate, none of them could do it with as much ease as Huang Yu just did!
Truly worthy of being called the power of a God.
”So?”
”I'm waiting for you two to speak.”
Hearing those words, Xiao Chen and Romario were snapped out of the stupor they had been stuck in.
Xiao Chen was the one to take the initiative as a flurry of words escaped her mouth.
”My King, about the Star Dou Forest, some of the priests that we had delegated some of our responsibilities to, proposed to exploit it to quicken the expansion of Nox in all sectors!��
He wasn't afraid of dying.
It would actually be an honour for him to die for the sake of his King.
However, being branded a traitor was something that he could never wash off even if an eternity had passed.
And naturally, seeing the silver-haired girl who they had blocked standing next to their King, he, much like Xiao Chen, quickly put two and two together.
”My King, to add on to that, we actually hadn't accepted this proposal. We were far too busy with your excellency's orders to care about that…”
”However, some of those idiotic priests took it into their own hands and started the project without informing us.”
”They collaborated with the Spirit Pagoda to delve in this endeavour…”
Hearing that last sentence, Gu Yue winced before she clenched her fists in anger.
A cold sneer appeared on Huang Yu's face.
”And they're still alive?”
An expression of panic marred the faces of both Bishops as they noticed their King's mood worsening.
”My King, this was a very recent development. And we believed that the punishment could be delayed since it was beneficial to Nox…”
Seeing their King's eyes continue to narrow, a hint of regret entered the hearts of the two Bishops.
A sense of resolution appeared in both Bishops eyes at this moment.
The two of them used all of their strength as they slowly raised their heads, trying to look at their King.
Seeing this, Huang Yu raised an eyebrow but didn't comment.
Soon, with veins bulging on their necks from the sheer amount of strength they were exerting, they succeeded in their endeavour.
”My King, this was our fault.”
Xiao Chen began.
