Chapter 286: Grand Plaza Show
Chapter 286: Grand Plaza Show
"Thor, where does your divine power come from? Has someone guided or inspired you?"
"God King, my divine power is innate. No one inspired me or taught me how to use it. I first discovered that I possessed this divine power when I was eight years old."
"Oh, really?" Carlisle lowered her head in thought, then seemed to shake her head.
Suddenly, Kalis stood up and reached out her hand towards Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan's body involuntarily lifted into the air and moved towards Kalis. Zhou Yuan knew that Kalis was testing him, so he simply relaxed and did not resist.
"Thor, one more time. This time you need to concentrate and fight me. I need to know just how powerful you really are, understand?"
"Yes."
Carliss gently helped Zhou Yuan back to the ground, and Zhou Yuan landed on his feet.
Zhou Yuan also intended to test how strong Carlis's consciousness field was, and seeing that Carlis wanted to test him was exactly what he wanted.
Carliss walked down the steps and stood in front of Zhou Yuan. When Zhou Yuan saw Carliss's face, he thought she looked a lot like Lefia, except that Carliss was more serious and dignified, unlike Lefia who was lively and mischievous.
Kalis gestured for Zhou Yuan to back away, and Zhou Yuan retreated until he reached the palace entrance before Kalis told him to stop. This placed Zhou Yuan and Kalis quite a distance apart, about a hundred meters. Seeing that Kalis had made him retreat so far, Zhou Yuan thought that Kalis's mental field was quite strong.
Kalis clapped her hands, and the applause echoed throughout the palace, clear and melodious. The gods all stood up and stepped aside to the sides, where more than twenty golden stools were placed closer to Kalis's side.
Mohli hovered between Zhou Yuan and Kalis, raising his serpent staff. Suddenly, the staff shone with golden light, signaling to Kalis and Zhou Yuan that they could begin. Mohli immediately flew back to his original position.
With a soft whistle from Kalis, Zhou Yuan's mind jolted. He felt a powerful force pulling him along. Kalis seemed to sense that Zhou Yuan wasn't moving, so the pulling force Zhou Yuan felt grew stronger, but Zhou Yuan remained motionless.
Little did Zhou Yuan know that just as the great gods watching from both sides had retreated a dozen steps, the twenty-odd golden stools also rapidly moved towards Kalis's location, all crashing into the steps with a thunderous roar. The two door knockers on the two main doors of the Pantheon also banged loudly against the doors.
"Thor, what are you waiting for?" Zhou Yuan sensed Caris's question telepathically.
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, stepped back, crossed the threshold, stepped out of the door, and continued to step back.
Kalis thought Zhou Yuan was scared, so she stopped and walked outside with the gods. By this time, Zhou Yuan had arrived at the huge plaza.
Many people practicing in the square bowed and paid their respects when they saw Kalis and the group of gods arrive. They then retreated to the city wall and watched the "confrontation" between the respected God-King and a young, handsome man.
"Thor, why didn't you attack just now?"
"God King, I'm afraid I'll hurt you."
When Zhou Yuan said this, several top experts and many onlookers were taken aback. Even Caris seemed surprised and looked at Zhou Yuan with astonishment.
Zhou Yuan looked around and saw the astonished expressions on everyone's faces. He smiled slightly and wondered what kind of expressions these great gods would have if he were to manipulate the switch on the sun. Manipulating the switch on the sun was a bit shocking. Zhou Yuan remembered his young friend Alton, the superhuman from the mother world, "summoning" a meteorite, and a thought struck him.
Zhou Yuan stood still, then looked up at the western sky. Everyone was wondering what Zhou Yuan was up to, and they all stared at him quietly. Zhou Yuan continued to look in the same direction in the western sky without blinking. Only then did everyone feel strange, and they also looked up at the western sky, including Kalis.
No one noticed anything unusual in the western sky, so they all lowered their heads and continued to stare at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan closed his eyes, and a minute later he opened them, keeping his head in the same position, still looking in the direction of the western sky.
"Hey, what are you doing?" a long-haired man shouted at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan ignored him and continued to gaze at the western sky.
Suddenly, a powerful figure beside Kalis shouted, "Look! What's that?" pointing to the western sky. Everyone looked up and followed the figure's finger, discovering that this was the direction Zhou Yuan had been looking. However, they couldn't see anything. Knowing this figure possessed "clairvoyance," they waited. After five or six minutes, everyone saw over a dozen bright spots in the western sky, moving rapidly and growing larger. Then, fear and panic appeared on everyone's faces as over a dozen large, smoking fireballs hurtled towards the plaza!
Kalis gasped, staring at the dozen or so smoking fireballs in the air. She inhaled quietly, then pushed her hands upwards. One fireball slowed its descent, while the others continued to hurtle down. A commotion arose in the crowd, but seeing that Kalis hadn't fled, no one moved. Several powerful figures began to exert their strength together, pushing away a flaming meteorite, while twelve more meteorites fell rapidly.
Zhou Yuan thought that was enough. With a thought, the meteorites falling rapidly in the air collided and exploded in the air, like fireworks filling the sky. Even the two meteorites that had been pushed away by Kalis and several great gods and were slowly falling also inexplicably collided and exploded. The sky above the square turned fiery red.
Zhou Yuan lowered his head to calm himself down. Everyone just stared at Zhou Yuan blankly. Kalis's face was also surprised, but she quickly returned to normal. Kalis moved to Zhou Yuan's side and stared at him with her beautiful eyes, as if trying to find something unusual on his face.
“Thor, your telekinesis is incredibly powerful; I’m no match for you in that area.” Kalis was rather blunt, patting Zhou Yuan on the shoulder.
Zhou Yuan lowered his head, "God King, I..."
"Thor, no need to say anything more, you can stay in the 'Pantheon'."
Many people standing by the city wall looked on with envy. Several great gods, including Moheli and Osta, came over to congratulate Zhou Yuan.
"Thor, I never knew your telekinesis was so powerful," Osta telepathically told Zhou Yuan.
“Osta, you flatter me.” Zhou Yuan responded to Osta with telepathy. Osta looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise and took several steps back in terror. Moheli and the other great gods were puzzled and looked at Osta with astonishment.
"Osta, what's wrong?" Mohrley asked Osta with concern.
"It's nothing." Although Osta said it was nothing, there was obvious fear on her face.
Zhou Yuan now knew that these powerful beings had relatively limited superpowers, far inferior to those of true gods. Even the God-King Kalis seemed to have only so-so superpowers at the moment. He wasn't entirely sure how strong Kalis's superpowers were, but at least in terms of telekinesis, she was considerably weaker than him. Zhou Yuan was certain that if these powerful beings from the "Palace of Gods" encountered an advanced alien warship, they would definitely be wiped out.
Seemingly to verify Zhou Yuan's thoughts, the little bee in his pocket, in stealth mode, spoke in his ear: "Master, Nana said she observed a meteor shower and accidentally discovered six stealth warships above the 'Pantheon.' These warships are going to attack the 'Pantheon.' She asked you what to do." Zhou Yuan was startled. It seemed he had been careless, assuming that Earth wouldn't be affected by extraterrestrial civilizations. Little did he know that alien warships had been lurking on Earth for a long time. He guessed that his superpowers in moving the meteorites had attracted the attention of these lurking warships.
"Little Bee, notify Nana to destroy those stealth warships. Oh, and leave one warship alive; I need to know which alien civilization it belongs to."
"Yes, Master." The invisible little bee returned to Zhou Yuan's pocket.
Suddenly, Kalis shouted, "Run! Run!" She waved her hands, signaling everyone to run. Then, with a few swift movements, the golden starlight sword and shield that had been beside the throne in the "Temple of Gods" were instantly in Kalis's hands. More than twenty great gods drew their weapons and surrounded Kalis. Some people hadn't even realized what was happening.
The sky suddenly turned bright red. When everyone looked up, they saw five explosions, followed by a meteor shower. Everyone panicked, but instead of running away, they looked at their god-king, Kalis.
Kalis seemed puzzled as well. With a wave of her hand, more than twenty powerful figures surrounded Zhou Yuan.
Kalis stepped forward and stood very close to Zhou Yuan, staring directly at him, her beautiful face displaying the majesty of a god-king.
"Sol, tell me, what happened? Did you do that?"
Zhou Yuan himself was not good at pretending, and he was too lazy to play riddles and games with these experts, so he simply looked directly at Carlisle and said, "Carlisle, I didn't do that just now."
Carlisle was startled, and the others were even more shocked, because no one had ever called Carlisle by her name before.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" Carlisle asked sharply.
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, "Carliss, this is a long story, and even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."
"Really? Then let me see what's hidden in your head." With that, Carlisle perked up and stared directly at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan clearly felt a sudden tremor in the surrounding air, as if he had been pricked by a needle on the head. Consciousness spying, consciousness intrusion? These two words came to Zhou Yuan's mind.
Zhou Yuan smiled. "Carliss, please don't be angry."
Carlisle seemed to lose patience, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze again after the commotion. Zhou Yuan knew that Carlisle was using her superpowers this time.
On the surface, Zhou Yuan was only staring at Kalis, but in reality, his own consciousness was also deeply hidden, simply displaying fragments of Lefia's memories in a loop.
A strange expression appeared on Kalis's face, followed by shock, then confusion, and disbelief in her eyes. Suddenly, Kalis stumbled and fell towards Zhou Yuan. To protect herself, Kalis involuntarily stretched her hands forward, but she forgot that she was holding a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left. The sword swung at Zhou Yuan, and the shield smashed towards him.
Many people in the square let out an "Ah!" In this situation, either their God-King Kalis would fall down, which seemed rather undignified, or Zhou Yuan would be smashed to death by the shield and sword, his blood splattering across the square, which would inevitably defile the holy land.
At this critical moment, everyone felt a blur before their eyes as Zhou Yuan disappeared, and then they were instantly stunned by what they saw.
The sword struck the shield with a loud "whoosh," and Zhou Yuan, clinging tightly to Kalis's body, wrapped his arms around her soft, slender waist, and stood firmly.
What just happened? Teleportation?! Who exactly is this Thor?
More than twenty major gods and other minor gods stared blankly at this strange scene.
Zhou Yuan, looking at Kalis's pretty face, couldn't help but give her a big kiss on the cheek.
Another gasp came from the crowd. Carlisle was also stunned, a sudden tremor running through her heart, as if the scene was strangely familiar.
What's going on? Kalis asked herself. How could I be in Thor's mind? This is impossible!
