SON OF THE HERO KING

Chapter 623: I CHOOSE YOU!!

With that single action, the whole battlefield seemed to have come to a standstill. Be it Lilith, Wukong, the abomination that was now Lupus, Zwei, or even Eins for that matter— all of their attention was now solely focused on one person alone.

Sol.

The current appearance of Sol was more than a bit different from how he usually looked. The dissimilarity was so prominent that even though the rest of the individuals here couldn’t observe the souls of other individuals, like Camelia and Isis are capable of, they still felt threatened and even overwhelmed by his sheer presence.

His initially short golden hair was now a long silvery-whitey-white that reached the lower part of his back. His previously deep, cerulean blue eyes had also changed significantly— the left eye still retained the initial blue color but the right one had now turned a bright majestic gold, now giving him heterochromatic eyes. It was a sign. A sign of…

Divinity.

This was an unmistakable sensation and power, yet no one could recognize the source of this divinity or to be exact… only a single person was able to recognize the source of that unimaginable power.

Eins – who had been watching Sol hold Camelia in his embrace, have a small discussion, and then place her down on the bed of green he had made with his powers – was perhaps the most astonished out of everyone gathered here. Literal goosebumps trailed all over his skin as he couldn’t help but backpedal from the recoil he felt in his mind at witnessing Sol’s new form and power.

“This is… Impossible…! It cannot be… N-Not yet.”

He mumbled those words while his eyes trembled in fear and despair, hundreds of scenarios ran through his mind in a fraction of a second at the sheer outrageous scenario he was now facing. The sensation was different, the divinity seemed to be mixed with another concept and yet, this prickling sensation on his skin was clearly unmistakable.

What he was feeling now… was definitely the power of both End and Origin without a shadow of a doubt. It was practically the exact same sensation he felt during that one fateful day that destroyed everything and everyone.

Ugh.

Phantom pain shot through his head as he remembered the feeling of having his head cut off clean. Despite the thousands of years and hundreds of reincarnations he had gone through, he could still vividly remember the sensation of his head separating from his body even now.

I need to run.

He needed to re-assess the situation and, if necessary, change the plan altogether. He didn’t care that the person facing him was only a newly ascended King ranked being, or that his current body was nothing but an avatar created through his authority. He had to leave this place right this instant. In front of this sickening power, even an avatar’s destruction could cause serious damage to his main body.

I need to send back the information to my main body first.

But—

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“Huh…”

“There is no need to try anything. This place was already entirely cut from the Mortal Realm the moment I entered this plane.”

Eins couldn’t stop himself from shivering at those words. Slowly, ever so slowly, shifting his head to the right. He did not even know when he moved, but Sol was now standing beside him with a sunny smile on his face. A smile that only fuelled the terror he felt.

“You…”

It was only now that Eins realized that something had changed,

｢Dimensional Encroachment -::- The World｣

“This is not possible.”

Eins was no stranger to dimensional mages, few understood them more than he did, as he had been studying Nihil for a long time after all.

Dimension Encroachment was a skill that went against the law of the world, as one individual tried to impose his dimension in another world. This always resulted in a clash between the dimension that invaded and the one being invaded. “There is no friction?”

He looked all around, trying to decipher the changes in the reality surrounding him and looking for the clash between dimensions. After a long while of deep examination, he was only able to find a small trace of friction— the remnant of the clash between dimensions. However, those frictions were so infinitesimal that they might as well not exist.

“Pretty neat trick, right?”

There was something about the nonchalance Sol was showing that was extremely disturbing and off-putting. As if he was not part of this world. Yet, Eins could not focus on this feeling too much, for he knew that his situation had taken a turn for the worse.

Still, not all hope was lost, clearly, Sol wished to discuss with him and this was undoubtedly his only way of survival, and he needed to spend as much time as possible to find his way out of this place.

“I didn't want to believe it. But is it really you, father?”

“Father, huh… Such a strange feeling to be called so by a man so old.” Sol placed his hand behind his back and walked forward, “But no. You are wrong. I am not Adam. Even though I obtained some of his memories, I am Sol, only Sol, and will always be Sol. No one else.”

The two gazed at each other and Eins found that while Sol’s face was smiling, his eyes showed a certain indifference as he gazed down at him— an indifference that he was eerily familiar with.

“Well, now that we have exchanged some niceties, let me give you the last grace. Leave after I erase the memories from your avatar. I do not plan to hurt the children of Adam… yet.”

Even though he heard Sol’s words, the new information he received was processing in his mind at a rapid pace. Sol was undoubtedly Adam’s reincarnation. But it seemed that even after getting Adam’s memories, the main personality was still that of Sol Dragona Luxuria, a happenstance that should have been impossible.

Sol Luxuria was only a young man who had yet to reach his twentieth year. Adam was a god who lived for millions of years and had literally seen the very beginning of the universe. Compared to the weight of Adam’s memories, Sol's life was just a blip and yet, Adam’s personality did not prevail.

But… if that was really the case here then…

Perhaps I can win?

Strength started coming back to his eyes. Fighting a King-ranked Sol was completely different from facing a King-ranked Adam. No matter what divinity or concept Sol obtained, it was impossible for him to have a high proficiency in them, even more so without wielding the vessel of a demigod.

Indeed, it’s too soon to give up and if I… no, once I win, I will be able to obtain the power he holds.

“You nearly fooled me.”

“I see, so this is your decision.” The indifference in Sol’s eyes vanished as a devious light filled them and a toothy grin showed on his face

“Truly, thank you. I am glad you are such a dumbass.”

After all, letting the man who beat my woman go would have been quite a frustrating scenario.

“Ambrosia— I choose you!”

“Never would have thought I would one day be treated as a hunting dog.”

Eins had no time to react to the feminine’s voice as a pillar of light engulfed him whole.
