Chapter 298: Fake Power
“The string of power I left on Hyrk’s body disappeared, so he died. I hope that he had been able to die without regrets.”
If Hyrk had survived there would still be remnant power in his body, so the fact that disappeared completely was a proof that Hyrk died.
“Are you all really planning to let me attack first? I have been magnanimous enough to give you all a chance, but you didn’t treasure it.”
After thinking about Hyrk, Liye spoke with his opponents one last time because the waiting time had almost ended, and his opponents chose the best option for Liye due to the fear of attacking first.
“Shut up! You are the one attacking, so you should be the one who attacks us! If you just flee from us right now, we don’t plan to pursue you.”
Although the words of the True Empire’s leader seemed to show that the True Empire had an advantage, he hoped that Liye would want to avoid a direct struggle with them and flee because he knew that Liye was powerful and there was no way to win without having casualties.
The leader of the True Empire didn’t care too much for the lives of the others, but their deaths would delay the plan, and since the Revgen Empire discovered them, they should execute the plan as soon as possible to avoid giving time to the Revgen Empire to organize and turn into a troublesome opponent.
“Alright, you are too cocky, but you still don’t have enough courage to face me. I don’t blame you, you are a Law God, but clearly, you have just breakthrough. Probably you only advanced in the past five years; you can’t compare with me in a direct battle.”
The leader’s face changed as it was just as Liye said, he only managed to advance almost five years ago, and he couldn’t be compared in battle prowess with Liye, who was a Law God in three different Laws.
“Maybe alone I can’t face you, but we have the strength of numbers!”
Liye looked towards the True Empire’s leader with disdain.
“Numbers? Do you count those fakes as numbers to battle? Those Law Gods are just Fake Law Gods; they were Law Masters who you forced into a fake breakthrough to increase their power. Moreover, the method you used was rough and destroyed all their future potential. Even those Law Masters are just Sage Rank people who underwent the same process to have a fake strength in exchange of never being able to improve again. Although their powers are stronger than before, they can’t compare with someone who really reached the same level of power by the correct method.”
The faces of all the experts of the True Empire changed as Liye was again on the spot. Only the leader was a real Law God, while the others had just advanced with the leader’s help.
They planned to groom an army of fake experts to intimidate the rest of people in the continent to make it easier to conquer.
“Wait until we have an army of Fake Law Masters, no one would be able to oppose us! Even if everyone is individually weaker, the strength of numbers surpasses everything!”
Liye succeeded in making them lost their temper, but they still didn’t attack, only throwing a useless threat towards Liye.
“Telling me that, do you think that any of you would be able to leave alive to continue with that plan? Well, even without saying anything your fate would have been the same.”
The members of the True Empire were enraged by Liye’s words, but they still felt that Liye was trying to force them to attack, so they restrained themselves.
“Besides me, there are two Law Gods and six Law Masters! Even if they are fake and I am not as strong as you, all of us together have the strength to beat you!”
Liye smiled as the True Empire’s leader underestimated him so much because Liye knew that most they would have been able to injure him a bit if they had attacked all together at the start.
“You think too highly of yourselves. Very well, since you are adept to creating Fake Power with those rough methods, I should show you how to use Fake Power without bad side-effects.”
Liye had been waiting just because that increase of power required some time to be executed.
The method used by Liye wasn’t any secret but executing it was very difficult due to the harsh requirements it had.
Firstly, one had to be a Law God who was at peak power and near to breakthrough, which was still something that was possible to do. However, the rest wasn’t that easy because it required to have complete Condensed Essences of the Laws trained to the Law God level, and then fuse them completely with the body.
Having complete Condensed Essences wasn’t easy, and fuse with them perfectly was also something with an unbelievable level of difficulty. However, Liye fused with them in such a short span of time, that would make anyone who knew about that method to praise him.
Usually, even the talented people would need at least a thousand years to fuse with one Condensed Essence, but despite Liye having only started to work on it since the moment he had awakened, he had finished fusing with three Complete Essences at the same time.
The level that followed Law God was Essence God, and the experts called the state Liye was entering as Fake Essence God, but that was only because those experts knew that a Fake Essence God was far weaker than a true Essence God and disregarded the name that weaker people gave to that level.
“Half Essence God?”
The leader of the True Empire trembled as he noticed Liye’s surge of power because he knew about that level and was one that would put any Law God to tremble in fear.
“How this person dares to say that he is using Fake Power! He just made half-breakthrough to become an Essence God.”
At that moment, the leader of the True Empire understood that giving time to Liye instead of attacking him had been a huge mistake.
Half Essence God was how the weaklings called it because the people at that level could become complete Essence Gods as long as they managed to fulfill all the conditions.
However, since entering in that level wasn’t a requirement to become an Essence God, it was officially called Fake Essence God by those more powerful.
Moreover, there was an important detail in Liye’s state as he was technically dead, and his reincarnation was still far weaker than a peak Law God. After the Origin Link stopped, the theoretically permanent enhancement of power would disappear because Yale wouldn’t meet the requirements due to his low level, but if Yale managed to become a peak Law God, he would instantly become a Fake Essence God as the Condensed Essences were already fused in his body.
“Do you still think that the power of numbers can beat me?”
All the members of the True Empire were cursing Liye internally because they knew that they had no chance against him after he became a Half Essence God.
The leader clenched his teeth before speaking.
“We will leave this continent right now, and we promise to never come again.”
The leader knew that they had underestimated Liye too much and that battling was useless, so he wanted to retreat and come again in the future after having prepared better.
“As if I were to believe the promises of people like you.”
Liye’s words frightened those experts from the True Empire, and they didn’t dare to reply because they weren’t planning to fulfill that promise and those were just empty words. Moreover, they didn’t dare to make an oath because if they stop their invasion plans, they would still be killed even if Liye let them flee.
“You know that we have a powerful backing! If you dare to kill us, our backing will come to this world to kill you!”
Liye smiled when he heard those words.
“I know that very well. However, I fear that killing all of you won’t be enough to lure anyone here.”
Liye looked toward the sky, to the place he knew the Mysterious Expert was looking at them. Despite Liye being unable to see the Mysterious Expert at that moment, he knew that the Mysterious Expert was there.
“This won’t be enough, coming to this world is far too dangerous for those people, killing those people won’t be enough, but it is the first step.”
The Mysterious Expert spoke while being in the sky despite being alone and without anyone capable of hearing those words.
Although Liye didn’t hear the Mysterious Expert, he knew the situation very well, killing those experts in front of him was far from sufficient to lure the big shots.
“Now, I will show all of you, that when battling against someone at my level, there is no need for me to attack you. I can kill you just by forcing you to train.”
A devilish smile appeared in Liye’s face, the method he had planned to deal with them wasn’t an attack, but a special training method that had the highest mortality rate in the whole universe.
Those who survived were all incredible talents with boundless potential. Of course, Liye was someone who cleared that training successfully.
Moreover, Liye knew that his opponents didn’t have any chance to succeed in that training, because except one, all the others had their potential wasted, and the one who advanced normally becoming Law God had a trauma that would be lethal for him when doing that training.
Moreover, Liye planned to put all the people that belonged to the True Empire in that forced training. The only ones in the Hyeran Clan what would be spared were the slaves because they were already victims, so Liye would just help them to reincarnate later on. /
“Forcing us to train? Do you plan to kill us with that? I won’t say that your attacks can’t kill us, but if you want to force us to do something, that is something impossible!”
Liye smiled as he was ready to send them to the most torturous training of their lives.
