138 Ancient God 7

[Of course. Remember, the Dark Dragon from Droyan is also a Dual type?]

"Oh, right."

[I think it's based off the Strength type, then mixed in with a Physics type on top of it… but he did he make it?]

"…'The h.e.l.l of Flame' is also a Dual type. Why are you so astonished?"

[… That was just coincidence.]

As they talked to each other, their astonishment just grew even further. Now, half the Vicegerents had been wiped out already. Karavan said, "I think he' gets stronger the longer he fights."

[It seems so. His world power is growing as he fights.]

"But how's that possible? Is he a Saiyan or something?"

[…S aiyan? What's that?]

"There's a thing like that," Karavan said as he remembered the comics from World 294 that he borrowed from a close Nightmare friend. Ignis seemed to be uncomfortable for a second, but then continued.

[… Anyway, so his world power grows as he destroys other [Settings]. It can't be possible but… wait. Is he?]

"What? What is it?"

[Is he killing [G.o.ds]?]

Killing G.o.ds in was close to impossible, especially if the G.o.d was above middle rank. It was because G.o.ds did not disappear as long they had at least one Follower. And even if all Followers were dead, there still was a bit time left.

"No way! Those are middle-ranking G.o.ds… and how is it possible for a G.o.d to die after losing a Vicegerent?"

[…It's not just the increase in world power. Look at the [Setting] he's using now.]

Karavan then focused on the [Setting] that Jaehwan was using. There were a lot of things that weren't normal. Jaehwan first started out with a black blade, but he now had other Strength type Settings.

It wasn't anything special as most high-ranking G.o.ds had all the Settings that Jaehwan was now using.

The problem was that those Settings were the ones that the Vicegerents were using that Jaehwan just killed. There was only one answer to this.

He killed a G.o.d and stole the [Setting].

"What… it's impossible!" Karavan spoke in outrage. As far as he knew, only two beings could be called 'G.o.dslayers'.

Guardian of the System – Big Brother.

And the G.o.dslayer himself – Catastrophe.

If what Karavan seeing was true, then he needed to add one more to the list. Karavan spoke with a tense voice.

"Should I jump in? If that man really has 2 million spirit stones, that will cause trouble down the road."

Jaehwan's current world power was about one thousand. It meant it equaled about 1000 Spirit Power. He sometimes unleashed about 10 thousand power, but even at 10 thousand, it was no match for Karavan. However, if Jaehwan consumed 2 million spirit stones, it would be different.

He used a [Setting] that could destroy another [Setting].

If he were to wield that powerful world power, then there was no stopping him.

[2 million? Haha.]

But the G.o.d laughed it off.

[Are you dumb? Do you really think he has 2 million spirit stones? He's bluffing!]

"…Bluffing?"

[Yeah. If he had 2 million, he could've just consumed it all and ambushed the auction house. Why would you pay for a [Part]?]

It was true. If the being had 2 million in world power, it was easier to just attack the auction house and take it away. There was no need to purchase it.

[He has a man behind him. I think the man ordered the others to cause trouble when he was about to pay it. There's no way that a man with such weak world power can bluff that he has 2 million.]

"Oh- I see. You're right. So, who IS behind him?"

[I don't know. What's sure is that HE will be by the Machina soon.]

It was true. The most important thing in this battle was of course, the Machina of Daeus. That's when Karavan shouted, realizing something.

"OH! Right! The man's going to try to steal Machina then?"

[…Huh?]

"Yeah! That must be it! That's probably why he caused such a ruckus!"

Karavan shouted excitedly as if he felt like he just solved a puzzle. But Ignis didn't seem to be enthusiastic at all.

[Well… it can be true, but unless the man's a fool, he's not after the Machina.]

"What are you talking about?"

[You still don't get it yet?]

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Ignis then answered in disappointment.

[You dumba.s.s, that Machina is FAKE.]
