298 Fake Power (1/2)
”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 advances. 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?”
