Man on the ark, forced to become king

"Cronus, I have come to see you with something very important. I wonder if you would be interested in joining the Golden Tree?"

"Several fragments of gods or the gods themselves, like you, have already joined the Golden Tree. It should be a good place for you."

"On behalf of Golden Tree, I sincerely invite you to join us."

"Golden Tree?"

Kronos's eyes suddenly lit up. He took a step forward, and ripples spread across the pure white space as still power poured down.

"Mortal, you call yourself the King of the Golden Tree, yet you invite me to join the Golden Tree? Do you mean that we gods should be subordinate to you?"

Lin Lu was not surprised by this result; he had already guessed it would be like this.

Some things cannot be resolved peacefully just because he wants to.

These ancient deities, who have survived from the distant past, have always remained outside of human society. To put it bluntly, they are wild beasts living in a barbaric world outside of civilization.

The rules and rituals that originated with humans are not applicable to the wilderness.

In their view, only the strong have absolute say, and reasoning alone is not enough.

However, this is fine too, it suits his wishes.

He's not one for words; he's much more efficient at reasoning with his fists than with his mouth.

"The Golden Tree has only one king, and that is me."

Lin Lu walked towards Kronos, her eyes turning pure gold. The static power descending from above was repelled the moment it touched the golden light, having no effect whatsoever.

Although the Golden Tree does not directly control the power related to time, it can still be used to circumvent it.

When one's strength reaches this level, one is no longer easily affected by the opponent's power, and at least one is not completely powerless to resist and at the mercy of others.

"In that case, let's do it your way, shall we?"

"Reasonable."

Looking down at the 'mortal' before him, Cronus nodded and readily agreed.

"The victor deserves everything. If you are stronger than me, then I may submit to you."

"and many more!"

Mostima, caught between the human and the god, felt his head spinning.

She never expected this to happen. Why did they suddenly have to duel?

"Step back, Mostima. A mortal who wants to challenge a god will not be refused by the god. There is no reason for you to back down."

Cronus lightly stomped his foot on the ground, and Mostima, who was about to say something, was instantly sealed away by an invisible force and sent to a great distance.

After doing all this, the god who controlled time bowed his head again and said, "I admire your courage, mortal. Your power is unique; I have never seen it before. I hope it will bring some surprises."

"Although I am now only a fragment and my power has diminished, I am not someone that mortal beings can easily provoke. Therefore, even if you are Mostima's partner, I will not show any mercy."

"Haha, that's exactly right!"

The eyes of the human and the god met, and Lin Lu took the initiative, leaping high into the air, and a magic hammer several meters in size materialized out of thin air and crashed down.

Cronus raised its forelimbs, clearly not taking the fight seriously, intending to block with only one claw.

However, the immense power attached to Heimer's hammer far exceeded His expectations. His entire forepaw was instantly deflected, and azure light spread across the pure white, causing His rocky body to shake uncontrollably.

"Not bad, but not enough."

The God of Time was somewhat surprised. He opened his mouth and spat out a beam of blazing white light, which then spread a dense power of time. Even with the power of the Golden Tree resisting it, Lin Lu's movements slowed down at this moment.

While stopping is impossible, slowing down is quite simple.

hum~

Lin Lu darted away, her figure flashing as she appeared at a greater distance. She raised her hand, facing the oncoming breath without dodging or avoiding it. The emblem representing the Rhealucaria Magic Academy lit up beneath her feet, and the Magic Realm opened, gathering magical power. A deep blue beam of light collided with the breath.

Origin Magic: Comet Yazler!

Without any additional enhancements or energy accumulation, the power of Comet Azle, released directly, is somewhat less, but it still holds the upper hand in the battle against the Blazing White Breath.

Originating from the dark depths of space, defying the stillness of time!

Boom!

The clock face suspended in the sky trembled slightly, the hands skipped a step, and the next second, Cronus's massive body suddenly disappeared, leaving the comet, which had lost its target, empty-handed.

A surge of powerful energy emanated from behind her. Lin Lu remained calm and raised her hand to block it. The magical ripples spread outwards from her, and her breath struck the expanding field as if hitting an insurmountable barrier. It was rapidly disintegrated and vanished into nothingness.

The genius magician Topus risked his life to explore magic that could restrain all magic, even the will of the gods would bend before it!

"hold head high!!!"

When his breath failed to work, Cronus immediately stopped, raised his head and roared. Beneath his feet, a phantom dial corresponding to the celestial clock emerged from the void. As his claws slammed into the ground, countless translucent rhomboid blades formed from the dial, converging into a surging torrent.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate, and I have no intention of standing still and taking a beating."

Lin Lu chuckled, withdrew from Tops's position, and floated into the air. Her body curled up like an infant, and a radiant blue moon condensed and took shape around her.

Queen Caria's symbolic magic—Rena's Full Moon!

This magic is rarely used, mainly because the casting animation is not very suitable.

However, that doesn't mean the magic is useless.

On the contrary, it is far more effective than most magic when facing attacks of pure energy.

The full moon that descends upon the earth can dispel any magic it encounters; therefore, all energy attacks and defenses are ineffective against it.

Chapter 123 I've had enough of the red tape!

As the most representative magic that Queen Renara of the Full Moon is most capable of using, the power of the Full Moon is actually almost the same as that of Origin Magic. In fact, it can be said that it is also Origin Magic—representing the origin of the Full Moon.

At her peak, Renara was also a powerful figure hailed as a hero. She was able to fight Radagan, who was using Marika's body, without being at a disadvantage. She was a true demigod, and one of the strongest demigods at that.

In the past, during the reign of Lenara over Kalia, this full moon struck fear into the hearts of countless people, and even the army of the Golden Tree could not advance an inch under its light.

Now, the full moon magic has made its first official appearance in the world of Terra, and it has also yielded astonishing results.

Under the moonlight, all laws perish!

The blade, imbued with the power of time, was instantly dissolved upon touching the full moon's light, clearing a blank path through the surging torrent.

With the full moon close at hand, the radiance in Cronus's eyes grew even stronger. Whether it was due to pride or some other reason, he did not dodge the attack this time either. The clock beneath his feet appeared out of thin air in front of him, firmly blocking the flying moon. The moon's radiance failed to penetrate the invisible barrier of time.

boom!

After a period of extreme silence comes an even more violent eruption.

The full moon, bound in the air by the power of time, suddenly collapsed and exploded, its immense energy exploding in all directions in an instant, staining large swaths of pure white with color.

On the other side, the remaining Blade of Time that had not been dissolved by the moonlight was also casually wiped away by Lin Lu, transforming into a small blue blade in the spreading ripples.

He has a lot of experience in defending against energy attacks.

Even without considering Tops' perspective, the Golden Tree Retribution and the Kalia Retribution can achieve similar effects when facing attacks that are within their tolerance limits, and can even form a counterattack based on the opponent's attack.

Before the ocean of magic that erupted from the full moon had dissipated, hundreds of magical blades returned along the trajectory from which the Blade of Time had flown. Lin Lu narrowed her eyes, leaped into the air, and golden lightning shone in her raised palm!

This time, instead of using the red lightning from the ancient dragons, he used the Thunder Prayer, which was born from the golden tree absorbing the faith of the ancient dragons.

Just an ordinary lightning gun.

This thing is not particularly remarkable among the many golden prayers, because it is not very useful against experts—but that depends on who is using it.

The essence of magic and prayer is the purest condensation of energy. The same spell will naturally have different effects and power in the hands of an ordinary soldier and in the hands of the King of Elden.

He's not the same person he was back when he threw lightning guns at Wei Yanwu.

At this moment, the thunder submits to me!

The rich golden power shone brightly within the formed lightning spear, as if a golden sun had risen in the pure white space.

Two meters, three meters, four meters.

The initially narrow gun barrel rapidly expanded under the influx of immense energy, eventually settling at a length of five meters, with a sharp thunderous roar resounding throughout most of the space!

hum!

Lightning flashed, and the lightning spear, expanded to its limit, was thrown out, covering a distance of over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, piercing through the clock face standing in front of Kronos, and embedding itself into his rock-formed body.

Then, the dense lightning transformed into a sea of ​​pure gold, and a lightning bolt half a meter thick descended from the sky, striking the head of the God of Time.

Fragments of rock exploded with a thunderous roar!

“Very good. Your bravery is amazing. Seeing you is like going back to the past.”

As the lightning dissipated, Cronus emerged from the rubble, his two horns gone, a large chunk missing from his head, and a deep, penetrating wound in his chest, from which tiny bolts of lightning still crackled.

However, such injuries did not affect his movements. On the contrary, he was more imposing than before, exuding an aura of barbarity from beyond civilization.

This time, Cronus did not speak of mortals.

To call such a powerful being a mortal is disrespectful to a deity like Him, not only to His opponent but also to Himself.

If such beings can be called mortals, then what are these gods—pigs?!

Acknowledging the strength of your opponent is also a sign of self-respect!

Without a doubt, this was the strongest being Cronus had ever seen since the gods had retreated, without exception. He deserved to be acknowledged!
