"No God Emperor... The one who was born free. A man without any shackles.

"

Amanda and the two archaeologists discovered the truth about the Hall of Power.

Currently, the three of them were exhausted. While they were investigating a ruin in the central region, thousands of trees emerged from the ground and attacked. They did everything that they could but they were captured in the end.

Luckily, the tree disappeared and they were free once again.

"Huff... No God Emperor was sealed thousands of years ago, right? Then, what happened before it?

" Amanda asked as she looked at Jason and Lindi.

"According to this text, the Hall of Power fell at that time. No God Emperor is a person that shouldn't be born in this world. He is an unprecedented existence.

" Lindi said.

"The God of Hall of Power at that time was called Vexus. It has the status of a Large Country but everything changed when God Vexus introduced his wife to his people...

" Jason paused and his voice turned serious.

Vexus' wife wasn't a human nor a demi. Instead, his wife was a monster. Although the relationship between two different species was rare, it wasn't the first time. The only problem was monsters couldn't give birth to humans and demis' child. But Vexus' wife got pregnant and it aroused a lot of gods and monster lords in the Imperium.

In regard to this, five out of ten Commandments attacked the Hall of Power. The reason was still unknown but the Hall of Power fell at that time. Vexus' child survived the calamity. He later rose to the ranks in just a few years and rebuilt the Hall of Power with his own hands. He was called the No God Emperor.

An offspring of a human god and a monster became one of the most powerful existence. He had no shackles on his body so his growth speed was too fast and he quickly rose to the ranks of gods. The moment he achieved such level, he directly killed the gods of the nearby Large Countries.

No God Emperor was a half-human and half-monster. He could use the best feram of the monsters the moment he was born. A lot of gods feared him and in his glory days, he killed a total of forty-seven gods before he was sealed. His famous feat which made other gods feared him was when he tore through the fifth dimension and killed ten gods in a single battle.

"A half-human and half-monster... A high-ranking god.

" Amanda narrowed her eyes.

"We will all die if No God Emperor has fully awakened. The only way to deal with it is to release the mechanism of the ancient ruins.

" Lindi said.

"What do you mean?

" Amanda asked.

"Remember that we discover a trait of an ancient civilization here before the rise of the Hall of Power?

" Jason said.

Amanda nodded.

The one that explained it to Amanda was Lindi.

"Approximately ten thousand years ago, there is a civilization here. It vanished but traces of it were scattered around the Hall Plains waiting to be discovered. Those mechanisms are advanced and we just need to activate them.

"

Those mechanisms were extremely ancient and most of the knowledge pertaining to it was lost in the annals of history. But Jason and Lindi were investigating it for a long time. They have been trying to find the whole history of the Hall of Power for decades so they knew bits of what happened in the past.

"If it can help us prevent the awakening of No God Emperor then let's try it,

" Amanda said.

"Good.

" Lindi nodded.

...

Souta's body inflated as a tyrannical power burst out within his body. The monster orb and Nebula Heart kept pumping out energy to boost his strength.

He charged forward as the Blood Armor covered his body, protecting him from any harm. Souta swung the sword in his hand, creating a huge blade of energy.

Bang!

No God Emperor raised his hand and twisted the energy blade effortlessly.

Souta already expected this so he wasn't surprised. He knew that No God Emperor was powerful but his current power was limited due to Yenxa's power level.

The power that he showed was already beyond Yenxa's capability. Saya explained to him that since Yenxa became a vessel, the No God Emperor boosted her power to a higher level. It was the maximum that she could handle with her body as more power would only destroy Yenxa. No God Emperor didn't want that to happen since he needed the vessel to free his real body.

That's why No God Emperor's prowess was limited but it was still far above Souta's capabilities. Plus, Souta was already tired after his battle against Draymond.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta and No God Emperor clashed in the air. The collision of their attacks caused a devastating damage to this land. The fragile planet with low mana density could barely handle the energy collision.

In just a second, Souta was blasted away and crashed on the ground causing a huge earthquake.

He was outclassed in all aspects.

"You are strong. Stronger than any of the fourth stage monsters that I've seen in my life. You can come and work for me. I will not treat you badly.

"

No God Emperor complimented him. He was genuine in his proposal to take Souta under his wing.

"Shut up!

" Souta rose from the ground. He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.

"Hmm...

" No God Emperor tilted his head as he looked down at his body. Then, he realized something.

"Oh, you have control over this body. That's a bit unexpected but it wouldn't work.

"

Souta widened his eyes before he felt an intense pain assault his body. He fell to his knees and coughed a mouthful of blood.

Ugh!

'He affected the control of parasite...?!' Souta couldn't believe this. His opponent used the connection between the parasite inside Yenxa's body and the queen parasite as a bridge to attack him.

'Souta, you have to sever it or else you will die!!' Saya shouted in his mind.

The opponent that he was facing now was different from all the people he had fought before.

"I didn't notice it at first since I'm familiarizing myself with this body but you have something quite interesting there.

" No God Emperor smiled.

"If you waited for the right moment then perhaps you can return me.

"

...

In Bland City, the underground place where God's corpse resides...

Ninth Head was looking at the unknown woman who introduced herself as Aleteya. She was cautious as she could feel that the woman in front of her was dangerous.

She couldn't quite explain this feeling but she trusted her instinct. She silently circulated her energy to prepare herself for battle in case Aleteya became hostile.

"Move, I need something beyond this door,

" Aleteya said calmly.

"What?! You know what's hidden beyond this door...?

" Ninth Head was a little bit surprised to find that this woman knew something about what was laying in this place.

"It's time to take it up. If you don't want to move then I'll have to use force.

" Aleteya said as her tone turned chilly.

Ninth Head flinched as she jumped away, creating a distance between her and Aleteya. She waved her hand and a palm-size blue crystal flew out.

Ohm!

Boulders of rocks gathered around the blue crystal and it formed into a three-meter-tall giant golem.

Ninth Head raised her other hand and several green crystals flew out. It fused into the golem and gives it form and power. In just a few seconds, the golem was covered in full-plate dark-colored armor. It has a huge mace in its right hand and a large amount of energy could be felt within the golem.

Ninth Head landed on the shoulder of her creation and stared at Aleteya. She was a dwarf and she specialized in golem creation. Although she wasn't that strong in terms of combat, the golems that she could create made up for what she lacks.

The reason why her organization became an overlord organization was because of her golems.

"You'll oppose? Very well. Although this body of mine has been in deep slumber for a thousand years, I can still fight someone at your level.

" Aleteya said before she took a step forward. Her energy burst out of her body causing the whole area to shake.

"This is... Best feram...?

" Ninth Head was flabbergasted.

"Y-You...!! You're a monster...?

"

Aleteya smiled and said,

"Yeah, I'm Selfless... All these years, I've been waiting for this moment. It's finally matured and I'm going to take it with my own hands.

"

"What are you talking about?

" Ninth Head was confused.

"Hmm... You're guarding this place yet you don't know the importance of what's hidden in this land.

" Aleteya smiled mischievously. She covered her mouth with her hand.

"Shit, it seems that Governor Ray hid a lot of things from us.

" Ninth Head said to herself.
