Merchant From Earth in the Magical World-Chapter 440 - 369 God Against God_1
The manor butler led Yan Xing and the others along the lavish and bright corridors, through an indoor garden, and arrived at the manor’s main hall.
The main hall’s decorations were even more retro and luxurious, with various beast heads mounted on the walls to showcase the bravery of the past owner.
Baron Max and the elders of the Witches’ Aid Society were sitting on the sofas, showing no intention of standing up to welcome the guests.
Yan Xing smiled, walked directly over to a sofa opposite them, and plopped down.
"My time is limited, so I won’t waste words," Yan Xing leaned back into the sofa, crossed his legs, and said to Baron Max, "Tell me two things: why you captured my people, and how you obtained your power.
Don’t play tricks in front of me. I’m not interested in playing games with you."
Baron Max did not expect Yan Xing to come in and take charge, directly interrogating him.
Confident in his own strength, Baron Max maintained a noble’s smile and replied to Yan Xing, "Don’t think that just because you killed two of my people, you’re something special.
For nearly a thousand years, countless individuals have tried to obliterate the Witches’ Aid Society. Some were more arrogant than you, yet we remain to this day.
Young man, the lady behind you carries the bloodline of a witch. She is one of ours. Hand her over to us, and we can unlock the full potential of her power.
I am willing to let bygones be bygones and invite you to join us in ushering in a new mythical era."
Witch?
Tong Yitong took a seat next to Yan Xing, exuding an unwelcoming air.
Yan Xing didn’t understand how the people opposite him were linking Tong Yitong with witches, but their answer was clearly unrelated to his demands.
"A mythical era? I’ve killed two of your gods, and you’re still inviting me to join. You gods are certainly spineless!
Either fight or submit...
Don’t spout nonsense to me!"
An impatient and angry tone was evident in Yan Xing’s voice.
At the same time, the room’s temperature suddenly dropped, and the vapor from his breath condensed into a spreading mist.
"HUMPH!"
Baron Max let out a snort of laughter. On his side, the descending temperature quickly rose, pushing back against the chill towards Yan Xing and Tong Yitong.
The powers of both parties met in the middle, forming a balanced standoff. Extreme cold and heat built up on a plane, creating a semi-transparent film.
The members of the Witches’ Aid Society lying in wait, feeling the clash of energies, all rushed out from the hidden rooms upstairs and downstairs.
The stimulation from the impending battle invoked the power they had obtained from the Demon God Kayron. In moments, each handsome man and beautiful woman transformed into monstrous creatures resembling those of Hell.
The combat alchemical golems drew swords and shields, protecting Yan Xing and the other four in the middle.
Feng Tingyue, Lao Guan, and Little Li hadn’t expected to encounter so many monsters hidden here. Even though they were accustomed to big scenes, they couldn’t help but panic.
Yet, Yan Xing and Tong Yitong continued to sit calmly on the sofa.
The transformed members of the Witches’ Aid Society, without an attack command from Max, all stood on the periphery surrounding the invaders.
Baron Max also sat with composure on the sofa, engaged in this remote contest of wills.
He thought to test Yan Xing’s strength before making his next move.
To demonstrate he still had plenty of strength to spare, Baron Max smiled at Yan Xing and said, "Your strength is somewhat surprising, and I find it very exciting.
It seems you’ve obtained powerful energy from a witch through other means. But it’s still not enough...
The witchcraft our Witches’ Aid Society wields dates back to the previous mythical era. By gaining power and transforming our bodies, we become new deities.
You have achieved only a certain level in obtaining power, but without sufficiently strong bodies, you simply cannot withstand greater forces." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
As he spoke, because of the release of energy, Baron Max’s body also underwent some changes.
His skin turned a deep red, his hair transformed into burning flames, and a pair of demonic horns grew out from his forehead.
However, it was clear he had far more control over his power than Aila and Antoine. The fire streaming around his body not only failed to ignite any flammable items nearby but also flowed over his clothes.
Partially transformed, Baron Max stared at Yan Xing. His eyes had become vertical slits, and his blue pupils turned the color of sulfur.
At this moment, Max indeed held a significant psychological advantage.
As he had said, a certain kind of power requires a certain kind of body to carry it.
In the previous mythical era, deities either had gigantic bodies or peculiar forms. Mortal flesh simply couldn’t withstand the greatness of the gods.
And across from him was Yan Xing...
The energy release was so intense, yet his body showed no sign of change. This indicated he was toughing out the physical strain caused by the energy release.
The smile on his face was nothing more than a façade.
Baron Max smiled and increased the energy output, pushing the barrier of hot and cold towards Yan Xing’s side.
But it didn’t budge.
The other side also increased their energy output.
HUMPH...
Let’s see how long you can hold out.
Baron Max continued to ramp up the energy output. The cold and heat sliced through the marble coffee table in the middle, slowly melting one half with heat while the other half was encased in thick ice.
The standoff of energy showed not the slightest sign of movement.
