chapter-979
Within an opulent throne room decorated with pearls as bulbs, corals as vines and clam shells as patterns, there sat a throne made of undersea gold in which a burly merman sat.
He was about the size of a small building, with a rippled upper torso that shone with muscles. His face was the typical Greek god like handsome, with a chiseled face, strong chin and creamy white skin.
He had a head of neck lengths aqua blue hair that glowed with a pulsating light. On his head was a crown that glowed with power and purity, made of pristine blue shells.
His eyes were a sharp amber color that were filled with martial might and vicissitudes of an ancient being. Apart from a golden belt around his waist, he wore nothing else as his lower body was that of a fish with shiny golden scales.
He sat in his throne stately, dealing with his daily court when a messenger slowly walked into the room with urgency but no panic. He first bowed to greet all the nobles in the room then faced the king on his knee."Your Majesty Neptune, they have arrived as predicted. They are currently hovering outside the city walls as if waiting for something." He reported solemnly.
King Neptune smiled slightly. "Hoh? it seems that these fellows at least have some decency, despite being arrogant and flashy. However, they do have the power to back it up."
King Neptune rose from his seat and grabbed his golden trident. He then gestured to the crowd of nobles as he began to move forward.
"Come with me, my noble court. Lets us go and greet these powerful group from afar."
The nobles didn't protest as they usually would have. They had already spied on Draco's group from afar and had been chilled to the bone by their power, which they knew could topple the entire kingdom with ease.
Otherwise, would they be so calm and accept such a rude intrusion so easily? Draco and his group would long have been besieged at the murloc village if that was the case.
After all, that fucking giant light bulb Eva put up there was visible from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. From the moment he put it up when they began to swim, they had already been noticed by the Kingdom of the Undersea, and through scrying, they had seen everything else that had happened.Especially, the Kun Peng, which was a primordial of this world and currently a True God being in the Divine Realm, it was even the ancestor to one of the top 3 noble clans!
For that clan to see their fucking ancestor summoned to do the bidding of some human, you can imagine their feelings right now. Even they had to pay a supremely bitter price to call a wisp of their ancestor down, yet Krona could summon its True Spirit.
Then there were the zombies, something that had made the commoners and the youths feel endless fear. Some hadn't been able to eat or sleep since they saw that sight, full of fear that Omega would raise such a group in the kingdom.
If such a terrible thing happened, even if they could fight back, it would result in terrible losses. Not to mention, who wanted to be chewed to death by zombies? Wasn't that why we all screamed in fear while playing Resident Evil or Silent Hill?
Just try biting your arm seriously right now and see how painful that feels. Now imagine the same type of teeth ripping into your flesh and taking a chunk off. That kind of pain can no longer be easily described.
Of course, these things did not much intimidate the upper echelon powerhouses, like the King himself, his royal guard, the commander of the army, etc. These fellow were all powerhouses who could kill an army on their own, so even if zombies or the Kun Peng came, they could handle it.
However, when they saw and sensed the water golems, they were filled with solemnity. They could tell that just one of those golems at full power could probably fight them to a standstill, much less 50 of them.
Even if they were weaker, 50 wolves could bite an elephant to death. Of course the wolves might sustain severely terrible losses, but what was the point if you - the elephant - were dead?
Not to mention that these 'wolves' were simply elemental summons that could be replicated! Why should they fight such a losing and worthless battle and die for it?
Forbearances.
A lot of people in the world knew what this meant but had absolute difficulty practicing it, especially those at the top. Those at the middle and bottom usually knew how and when to forbear, but hated it.
Those at the top had almost no idea how to forbear, because they felt that they had accumulated enough power not to. This was even more present in a fantasy world like this where individual power reigned supreme.
However, so what? In the face of this kind of power, they had to learn how to forbear today and suck it the fuck up!
Even king Neptune, who seemed casual and unbothered, was secretly sweating side as he lead his nobles forward. He had to act calm as the leader to stabilize his people and give them strength, but who the fuck was there to stabilize him?!
While he complained endlessly in his heart, he finally reached the kingdom wall and came to stand opposite Draco and his group. When King Neptune sensed their auras up close, he wanted to scream and run.
Especially Omega and Krona. Why was one giving him the same feeling and bloodline suppression as his own fucking ancestor, Poseidon himself? Why was the other giving him a feeling of being a tiny ant before the greatest behemoth of the deeps, the Leviathan?
It wasn't just him who felt it, but all his nobles as well, and their faces changed greatly. They became even more retrained, yet they didn't bend their backs over because they still had some confidence and pride in their bones.
"Greetings humans. Why do you come with such fanfare to our noble Kingdom?" The Seneschal moved forward to ask neutrally.
Draco passed an eye over the merman and mermaid nobles, and his lips couldn't help but curl up. He especially glanced at King Neptune and inspected his power.
｢Name: King Neptune – Rank 7 Merman God
Level: 350
HP: 700,000,000,000/700,000,000,000｣
And he wasn't the only Rank 7 here. The army commander, some of the Noble clan heads and a few other important people were varying levels of Rank 7.
Rank 7 was a huge stage, from level 300 to 400, so there were stark power differences between the same Rank 7 powerhouses. Weaker Rank 7 foes could be likely beaten away by Draco, Eva and Shuangtian working together at full power, but the rest could only be intimidated to leave or fought day and night till they gave up.
Killing anything above Rank 6 was a bit much for them. Of course, that was only because they had yet to Rank up! And speaking of that, in order to intimidate these fellow, Draco, Eva and Shuangtian decided to do so.
They had killed a lot of things coming here, including the slaughter they made to Rank Hikari, Zaine and Roma up to Rank 6. However, under the tyrannical .001% exp gain rate, all manner of prayers and killing ere reduced to rubbish.
In terms of raw experience, Draco and Eva had barely reached level 15 from level 10 which was where new Class Ups started from. Luckily, the items that they had ranked up with did not revert downwards, but would not increase with each new Rank up.
However, they had received a reward of 5,000% class experience for subduing the White Tiger of Calamity, who Draco had tossed into the Morningstar Universe after being bukkaked into a coma.
There were some Epic treasure chest and some platinum as well, but who gave a fuck about that at this point? Draco only vaguely remembered setting up in internal Umbra auction for the now 30 million serf players to compete and buy with their UPs.
This 5,000% experience was not subject to the rapacious 0.0001%. Otherwise 50 levels would have become only .25% of a single level. At that point, Draco would just go on a killing spree and ruin the entire universe.
After doing this, they opened their character screams to see how far they had come, and also allocated their experience points.
