Chapter 173: Chapter 172:Coup begins?

Lucien and the Raizen god beast kept starting each other down with none making a move. As much as they wanted to rip each other apart they couldn't deny that each of them had something important and pressing to do and that's why they were hesitating. After gaining more power of Faith, Rakuzen could temporarily exist outside Lucien's for a short while and this made Lucien even more relieved. He had a feeling that one day, he may be able to separate Rakuzen from his body and have a capable ally by his side at all times.

"You…"

Lucien was about to speak but then a loud explosion occurred catching his attention! The royal capital was hundreds of miles from the Raizen clan an the only reason people could travel so far in just a few minutes was simply because of the teleportation platforms used all across the empire. For the fact an explosion from that distance could be seen, heard and felt from this distance, Lucien concluded that this is something only champion realm masters are capable of. Lots of thoughts ran through his mind as he began to grow restless. He couldn't help but wonder why they chose to start the coup right now?

Was it because he tried to take over the Raizen clan or did they consider him too strong so they decided to get rod of Jim sooner?

"Emperor!" Lucien screamed as he turned into a big beam of energy and shot towards the direction of the explosion.

"YOU DARE TURN YOUR BACK ON ME? SUCH INSOLENCE!" Raizen screamed as a lightning whip appeared in ait's hands and it lashed out at Lucien's fleeing figure.

Seeing the incoming attack Lucien and got even more enraged by the fact that someone dared to stop him when he was trying to get to the Emperor's side.

SCRAM!" Lucien growled as he summoned the habakiri and quickly used the habakiri to release an intense black lightning whip that deflected that of Raizen.

His eyes turned gray as he exploded into a body of gray mist, surging forward. No matter how much the lightning whip got to Lucien, it just shaved through the mist and dealt no damage at all. Meanwhile Lucien released a powerful blue wind shockwave, sending Raizen flying down. His eyes carried killing intentions as he clasped his hands and Abok shot out of his body taking the shape of a metal snake steel culture descending on Raizen like an ancient mountain.

"GOOD VERY GOOD! YOU ARE STRONG BUT IT'S A THODUSND YEARS TOO EARLY FOR YOU TO CHALLENGE ME!" Raizen screamed as uncontrollable surge of lightning surged out of his body, striking the massive the Steel Abok ruthlessly, pinning it in mid air, leaving many stunned.

"This is the end" Lucien growled as a silver formless Orb flew out of his body, appesring above the steel cake while leaving a shaky Raizen alone

Whoosh!

Lucien sneered as the massive silver orb twisted and turned violently as it soon took the form of the massive steel snake and descended upon the original Abok causing the ground beneath the feet to crumble , great king tier magic beasts and roar in joy

Just like his summons, Lucien had no more time to waste as he quickly activated the Bess assimilation system, forcing the Raizen god beast avatar panic in dear because they were not remembered today. Everyone watched as the silver light power began pulling the Raise's silver halo towards him. He watched the Raizen clan tattoo slowly surge into his body, and the Raizen tattoo began appearing on his back.

At that moment he began seeing the images of Derik Angus battling Dark a the god of death.

You have finally come" Derik said calmly as he felt a powerful presence standing behind him. He saw Derik walk out from a spatial corridor and vanished, appearing on the spot where Rakuzen called his name, only then did Dakar appear

Even without turning around he could feel the cold gaze of the dark haired man, wearing a dark robe with a bone armor located around the shoulder region. The man's lips were black just like his finger nails and his eyes!

"This world is strange… The laws of power feels more detailed, more diverse, I feel like I have been exposed to a whole new understanding of cultivation…. So many pathways, so many possibilities… Authorities granted to gods… These are things my world lacked… Very sad" Derik said calmly as he turned to meet the enemy head on. 

Seeing this Dakar was more infuriated than terrified as he took a glance at all his terrified demon beasts and took a step forward

"You are truly as terrifying as they say, Derik Angus" The death god said coldly

BOOM!

The moment he called Derik's name he felt an invisible force slam into him, pushing him meters back and forcing him to fall on his knees. He wanted to speak but he felt like his throat has been crushed by the invisible force but instead of getting terrified, this old monster got enraged instead. While still on his knees, he looked up to meet Derik standing in front of him with a cold look in his eyes while he looked down on him.

"You are not qualified to call that name… I suggest you try to be more respectful from now on, little death god" Derik said while looking down at the enemy with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Seeing someone looking at him in such a way, the god of death of this world was enraged! He is the scourge of this world and many feared him, even amongst his fellow gods! How dare a mere intruder look down on him!

"YOU DARE LOOK DOWN ON DAKAR? YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!" Dakar roared as he smashed his hand into the ground and pulled out countless black chains, swinging it at Derik ruthlessly!

"I am death!" Derik answered indifferently as he reached for the black chains and with just one hand he shattered them effortlessly! 

He was about to speak but then more black chains erupted from the ground and wrapped around him, binding him completely but even then, Derik didn't look worried. He watched Dakar levitate above him as more black chains latched onto him restricting his movements!

"YOU DARE STEP INTO MY DOMAIN AND MAKE SILLY PROCLAIMATIONS? YOU MUST BE TIRED OF LIVING, DERIK ANGUS!" He growled as he clasped his hand and a massive fiery black skull appeared above and began descending like a comet. 

BANG!

In an instant all the chains were shattered and with a single step forward, Derik was already standing in front of this death god, grabbing the throat and crushing it ruthlessly. His eyes lacked all forms of emotions as he proceeded to deliver a mighty slap that made the entire underworld tremble violently!

"Didn't I tell you? You are not qualified to say my name!" Derik said coldly as he watched Dakar's body fly a few meters back just from the slap from him.

Derik was more shocked that he failed to knock off the head of this death god in one go and this proved that the enemy was no weak foe! Maybe to other gods, this Dakar is a beast that terrifies many but to Derik he was just another above average opponent!

"This is too easy… I suggest you stop holding back!" Derik said punched the skies and the black skull shattered.

He wasn't pissed because this enemy was trying to fight him, he was pissed because the enemy was holding back on him. He came here with the intentions of seeing the full capabilities of this world's god of death and he didn't plan on leaving without seeing it. He watched Dakar rise to his feet while letting out bone chilling laughter that echoed all around the underworld making Derik frown.

Dakar's aura suddenly exploded, spreading across the entire battlefield as his body began receiving black markings. His body seemed to have pause in time as the world around them transformed immensely.

"Domain expansion…." Derik said a frown.

Right now they were only at the outer regions of Dakar's domain and that's why the god of death isn't getting much strength from his domain but seeing him use the domain expansion is another thing all together. Lucien could see darkish green aura surge out of Derek's body before surging into the ground and the flowing into Dakar so even an idiot could Dakar was stealing Derik's power..

"Do I wipe you out now or wait a bit longer?" Derik said casually

"What the hell is this?" Lucien growled as he gazed at Derik's figure with anger in his eyes. Even though he wasn't the one fighting DerikAngus, Lucien felt insulted by the way Derik Angus for treating Dakar like that and he wished he was there to fight beside the old god of death. If only he could get stronger, he would be able to put idiots like this in their place! Even Rakuzen was enraged by this!
