Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

In the boy's eyes, this meant that Chen Hong had become stronger rapidly in a short period of time.

This is something no ordinary person could do; even the most foolish person, capable of creating miracles, could not do something so outrageous.

Moreover, Chen Hong possessed the aura of a god, leading the boy to suspect that Chen Hong was an incarnation of some ancient deity.

However, because Chen Hong's aura was so all-encompassing, the young man couldn't be sure for the time being.

Seeing the burning desire for battle gradually ignite in the boy's inquisitive and curious gaze, Chen Hong didn't explain. Instead, he urged him:
"If you want to fight me, you should first recall all your divine beast avatars, restore your peak strength, and then come and fight me."

Otherwise, fighting a disabled god would be pointless.

The young man gave Chen Hong a deep look: "What an arrogant and haughty attitude."

Now I think you're a bit like those children of fools.

"However, you are indeed a strong person, and I respect you."

With a wave of his hand, the boy subdued the mythical wild boar that had left Erica questioning her existence. The boar transformed into a beam of light, entered the boy's body, and became one of his powers.

"Well, I originally met a rather interesting young man, and I wanted to see if he could defeat me with this stone slab."

No, we don't need to anymore.

The boy tossed the mysterious stone tablet to Chen Hong.

"Now, I am quite certain that no one but you can bring me defeat."

"I hope you can give me a thoroughly satisfying defeat."

“I will place you after the God-King, as the final feast.”

After saying that, the boy quietly disappeared.

"A disobedient god?"

Chen Hong's lips curled into a smile. "Nothing special."

"However, the feeling of that power is rather unique; perhaps it's worth studying."

At this moment, Erica, the Italian noblewoman who had just suffered her first Waterloo, flew down lightly on Hermes' boots.

Holding the Lionheart Sword, she looked at Chen Hong with a puzzled expression:

Who was that boy just now?

"And who are you?"

"You don't seem like an ordinary person. Are you a magician?"

"Young lady, didn't your family teach you to introduce yourself before asking others questions?" Chen Hong glanced at the girl in deep red indifferently.

Erica's anxious and frustrated expression vanished, replaced by an apologetic one. She then curtsied politely, behaving like a noblewoman.

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty, it was really rude of me."

"Let me introduce myself. I am Erica Brantrie, the eldest daughter of the Brantrie family, the chief knight of the magic society 'Crimson Black Cross,' and known as the 'Crimson Demon.'"

A prodigy girl who reached the rank of Grand Knight at the tender age of 16.

Erica straightened her back, revealing a smug and proud expression.

But then he remembered how powerless he had been against the divine beast, and how he had almost been kicked to death by the wild boar. He couldn't help but feel deflated, and his smug and proud expression disappeared, replaced by a somewhat defeated and dejected look.

"My uncle Paul Brandry is a high-ranking knight, also known as a paladin, who has a record of defeating divine beasts."

I originally thought that even if I wasn't as good as my uncle, I should be able to fight the divine beast to a draw. I didn't expect that I was too arrogant.

Only when you truly face a mythical beast do you realize you're not as excellent or powerful as you imagined." Chen Hong nodded: "The fact that you recognize your own insignificance means you're not too bad; there's still hope."

Erica choked, feeling a thorn prick her pride. Her face stiffened, her lips twitched, and she couldn't help but mutter:

"In front of a beautiful young woman like me, you not only don't comfort me, but you also make fun of me. That's not gentlemanly behavior."

“Oh, then I’m not a gentleman,” Chen Hong said matter-of-factly.

Erica was speechless again, unable to refute.

People say they're not gentlemen anymore, so what can I do?

Erica's mood immediately soured. "Forget it, why should I say so much to a stranger like you?"

"The stone tablet in your hand should be a magical artifact, or even a divine artifact."

If you are not a magician within the circle, it is best not to take it, as it will attract unavoidable disaster.

If you don't want to get into trouble or even risk your life, you'd better hand that stone slab over to me.

I will submit this to the Copper Black Cross, seeking help from the 'Seven Sisters' Alliance and even the entire European magical society to get rid of this hot potato.

"No need for that. No matter what trouble it is, it's not trouble for me, let alone life-threatening. If I don't put others' lives in danger, they should be praying to Buddha."

Seeing that Chen Hong was completely unmoved, Erica became furious:
"You have quite the nerve!"

"Are all the people of the East as arrogant as you and Master Luo Hao?"

Watching Erica speak Chinese with a strange accent and argue with him, Chen Hong felt that she was like a golden retriever with its fur standing on end.

"Haha, that's not true. Most people in the East are humble and low-key. People with a personality like Luo Hao are very rare."

"Then why are you still..." Erica put her hands on her hips, looking sullen.

"But I'm just stating the facts," Chen Hong said, spreading his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"you!……"

Erica pointed at Chen Hong, too angry to speak, feeling like she had been tricked.

Kusanagi Godou, who was on his way to his grandfather's friend's place to explain that the stone slab had been stolen and could not be returned, happened to see a beautiful blonde girl in a red dress and a handsome, sunny, and ethereal-looking super-handsome guy flirting as he turned a corner. He was instantly hit with a million points of critical damage.

"Damn it, they're showing off their love in broad daylight! Don't they have any humanity? Don't they care about how a single person like me feels?"

The moment Kusanagi Godou saw Erica, he knew she was a stunning beauty who could be the school's most beautiful girl in his own school—no, a stunning beauty who could be the most beautiful girl in all of Tokyo.

But this goddess is flirting with others while he can only watch helplessly. How desperate must that be?
At that moment, Kusanagi Godou felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, as if he had lost something. It hurt so much, his heart ached so much.

But when Kusanagi Godou looked closely, he realized that the stone slab in the handsome man's hand was the mysterious stone slab that his grandfather had given him.
Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up inside him.

"Damn thieves! They stole my goddess and now they want to steal my stone tablet! How can this be repaired!"

Driven by his fervor, Kusanagi Godou dashed towards Chen Hong, shouting as he did so:
"Damn thief, give me back my stone slab!"

Boom!

Just then, the earth shook violently, and Kusanagi Godō lost control. Due to inertia and resistance, he slid to his knees and hit his head on the ground with a loud thud, heading towards Chen Hong.

It rolled several times before its spine hit a lamppost and finally stopped.

With a crack, the spine split open.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Kusanagi Godou clutched his lower back, lying on the ground, groaning in pain. (End of Chapter)
