Like the Black Dragon, Leon also unleashed divine power.
The gods were quite surprised that Leon possessed divine power, but this surprise lasted only a few seconds before they accepted the fact.
In the eyes of the gods, Leon possessing divine power was very much in line with Leon's situation.
The gods were very clear about the extent of God's grace.
Once the possessor of Falna reaches level 10, they will begin to gather divine power and transform divine authority.
After witnessing Leon unleash his divine power, the gods quickly accepted the fact after a brief moment.There's nothing they could do about it, Leon had already demonstrated the strength of a level 10.
Now that divine power had been unleashed, the gods immediately set Leon's level as 10. It was quite normal for a Level 10 to gather divine power.
If it were anyone else, they might be shocked that the possessor of falna had amassed divine power in such a short time after upgrading to Lv. 10.But if it were Leon, then it wouldn't be surprising.
It's because Leon's previous performance was just too dazzling—so dazzling that even the gods were highly receptive to anything that happened to him.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that they most desired to see Leon now possess divine power.
The Black Dragon, the adversary of the Thousand-Year Pact, had condensed divine power. If they don't have someone who has gathered divine power, then the Thousand-Year Pact will surely fail.
They will be forced to refrain from interfering in anything in the lower realms. Even if they could continue living in the lower realm, they could no longer continue their current leisurely life.
After all, if the dungeons win the contract, it will inevitably bring a devastating disaster to the entire surface, and they will not be able to intervene.
Although Leon had only gathered divine power and hadn't yet officially become a god, given his past dazzling performances, remarkable growth experience, and ability to fight across levels, even if he were to face the Divine Dragon, the outcome would be uncertain, and there would still be hope.
This is what the gods hope for: that Leon can defeat the Black Dragon, completely end the dungeon's scheme, and win the Millennium Pact.
Leon was naturally unaware of the gods' current expectations.
At this moment, he was adapting. He was unleashing his divine power in battle for the first time.
Since gaining divine power, Leon's divine power had been continuously increasing. In just a few months, his divine power had already reached half of his magic power.
Don't assume that half is a small amount.
Leon's current magic power is incredibly vast, and his divine power has already reached half of that. One can imagine how enormous its size is.
Leon's current divine power is enough to sustain him in an extremely intense battle for two or three days.
Two or three days is enough time for him to deal with the black dragon in front of him.
The black dragon's fusion was very rapid, but it seemed to take quite a while for it to adapt to its own power. After the fusion was completed, the black dragon remained motionless, its body constantly flashing with light.
Leon could see that its current behavior was an adaptation to the divine power it had just acquired.
However, he didn't want to just foolishly wait for the black dragon to adapt.
Although Leon also adapted to his divine power, he had used his divine power long ago, when resurrecting Artemis.
This time, however, it was just a formal use of divine power in battle, so it wouldn't take too long to get used to it.
While the black dragon was still radiating divine power, Leon had already launched an attack.
Golden light emanated from him, transforming into streaks of golden light that swept over the black dragon like a tidal wave.
Although he possessed divine power, it couldn't be released through the means of divine authority and could only be used like magic for now.
"Roar!!!"
Leon's unsportsmanlike attack forced the dragon to abandon any pretense of adapting to its abilities and launch a swift counterattack.
The crimson light, carrying an extremely dangerous aura, stirred up a towering crimson wave that stained half the sky and swept towards Leon head-on.
Golden light collided head-on with the crimson blood wave, and a deafening explosion resounded throughout the world. The impact of this collision was extremely terrifying.
Even though Leon and the two black dragons had fought for so long, the impact only reached the area near the edge of the world. No matter how intense the explosion was, it didn't travel very far.
However, the earth-shattering explosion from this collision resounded throughout the entire world.
Gods and mortals alike were stunned, feeling the terrifying pressure of two entities wielding divine power.
"That's why the gods aren't allowed to use their divine power when they descend." Loki murmured in the Twilight Manor, her eyes fixed on the Mirror of God.
"The end of the world is so far away, yet the sound and the aura were transmitted here. If we fought in the lower realm, the fluctuations alone would affect everything."
Loki, having seen many wars in the divine realm, knew the horror of such devastation. Only Heavens could withstand the battles of the gods. For the lower realm, it was an impossibility. If such a fight occurred on the surface, the land would be annihilated.
"How terrifying." Finn muttered with a wry smile, finally coming to his senses.
The others remained silent, their eyes filled with a fervent desire to one day master such power.
...
After using divine power, Leon was in no way weaker than the Black Dragon, who had become a god.
After reaching Lv. 9, his strength peaked at Lv. 10, without advancing to a new level. This was because the next level was Godhood, a huge leap. However, if he ranks up to Lv. 10, it might be possible to skip this level without the aid of divine power.
Unfortunately, Leon had already acquired divine power before that. Once he reaches level 10, he will directly become a god.
Unlike other beneficiaries who slowly accumulate divine power, Leon can directly transforms his authority and become a god. Moreover, unlike other adventurers who have God's Grace, Leon has World's Grace. The increase in power after becoming a god will be terrifying, and he will instantly become the king of the gods in this world.
The World's Grace seems to be something that was specially created by this world to nurture the King of Gods.
Faced with the black dragon's counterattack, which resembled a sea of blood, Leon's golden beam of light was not only not submerged, but instead pierced through the raging sea of blood in one fell swoop, and continued its momentum towards the black dragon.
The black dragon was clearly surprised that its attack had been broken. It was stunned for a moment when it saw the dense golden beams of light, but it quickly reacted and launched a new attack, firing a scarlet roar straight out.
Boom!!!
The terrifying attacks merged together, transforming into a golden-red sphere that spread outwards, destroying everything in its path.
It took the black dragon two attacks to neutralize Leon's single attack, demonstrating just how powerful Leon's attack was when it was imbued with divine power.
The golden-red sphere continued to grow, quickly enveloping Leon and the Black Dragon, the instigators, and even continued to expand outwards at an astonishing speed.
"Oh no!!!" Hermes, who was closest to the battlefield, saw this scene from afar and his expression changed immediately.
"Asfi, quick, let's get out of here quickly, or we'll get caught in the crossfire!!!" Hermes shouted at Asfi.
