That fight was destined to become a legend in the geno universe. Before the day was out, the battle was being discussed across the universe.
It was amazing that Lando had defeated and tamed the Tianxia Unicorn, but Han Senâs actions had stolen the show. Han Sen had somehow turned Lando into a deified mid-fight.
Before that day, Han Sen was just a King of little fame. In the vast universe filled with strange and incredible powers, he wasnât very special. If he hadnât killed Bai Yi and ended up being chased by the Extreme King, many people wouldnât have known who he was.
Even if he was a fugitive, he was still just a King. Few people would have said that there was anything special about him.
But after this fight, he became known as the Leader of all Gods. On any other day, the fact that such a name was used to refer to a mere King would have been very strange.
Some wise guys even gave Han Sen the title Daddy of Gods.
But that title was only used in secret. If any deified heard it, they probably would have found it annoying. No one wanted to jeopardize their own life by irritating a deified.
Regardless of that, the battle made Han Sen very famous. Everyone in the geno universe knew about him now, and so no one treated him as a measly King anymore.
He wasnât deified, but most people thought he was more mysterious than a deified.
There was nothing he could do about it, though. After all, he had been able to produce a deified. He didnât earn the name Daddy of Gods for nothing. Recent events had clearly established that he was different from most people.
Many deifieds and the leaders of the higher races knew that Han Sen couldnât just flip a switch to make someone deified, though. They suspected that there were more factors involved in Lando becoming deified.
But they still had a keen interest in Han Sen. Even if Han Sen couldnât produce a deified, he had undoubtedly influenced Landoâs evolution. They wanted to know what kind of power Han Sen had wielded.
Even if that power couldnât create a deified, it seemed that he could somehow kickstart the evolution process. And any power that could aid the development of half-deifieds would be highly sought after by the races of the geno universe.
âBrother Dragon One, it looks like I won the bet,â Klose said, looking at Dragon One.
âWe Dragons stay true to our word. Every Dragon will now depart the Tianxia System.â Dragon One grunted. He commanded the big turtle to depart.
Klose wasnât interested in watching Dragon One and the rest leave. He flew away to chase after Lando and Han Sen.
But now, Han Sen was worth far more than the bounty offered by the Extreme King. Although it didnât seem possible, if Han Sen truly could make deified elites, then he had just become priceless.
Han Sen and Lando rode the Tianxia Unicorn through the blue clouds. The wounds on the Tianxia Unicorn were almost healed, but the broken horn wouldnât grow back for some time.
The Tianxia Unicorn was very sad, and he wasnât happy to have Han Sen sitting on him. But he didnât want to disobey Landoâs commands, either. So, he was a very grumpy animal at that moment.
Han Sen jumped off of the unicornâs back and looked up at Lando. âPer the terms of our agreement, can I go now?â
âYou canât go,â Lando said while looking calm.
âYouâre going to break your promise?â Han Sen frowned. He had suspected that this might happen, though, so he wasnât terribly surprised.
But if Lando really had decided to hold him against his will, it would make Han Senâs life very difficult.
Klose chuckled darkly and flew over to them. He came before Han Sen and said, âA promise is nothing to him. Donât you know he killed his own teacher?â
The manâs three heads marked him as one of the Destroyed. Han Sen could immediately tell that Klose was a deified elite, but he ignored him. He continued looking at Lando, waiting for his answer.
Although Han Sen had prepared himself for the possibility of Lando breaking his promise, he didnât think Lando was the type of person who would do that. Their personalities might be very different, but Han Sen couldnât help but feel that he shared something in common with Lando.
âLando, good job! Not only did you catch Han Sen, but you also became deified. And you tamed the Tianxia Unicorn in the process. When we return home, I will definitely put it to good use.â Klose cast a substance chain toward Han Sen to tie him up.
But the substance chain didnât land on Han Sen. A purple, dragon-like substance chain flew forward to protect Han Sen. It swallowed Kloseâs power.
Kloseâs eyes widened, then suddenly narrowed. He looked at Lando and asked, âLando, what are you doing?â
âI promised him that I would let him leave this place,â Lando said quietly.
âFine. You go on your way, and I will take him back myself,â Klose said with a frown.
âI promised to let him leave here.â Landoâs face remained unmoved. His expression was as emotionless as a block of stone.
âNot bad. Not bad. Our promise was for me to leave here. Not die here or be taken by someone else.â Han Sen laughed and clapped his hands.
âLando, are you going to betray our ruler?â Black and white substance chains had begun to rise around Kloseâs body.
âIâm just keeping a promise I made,â Lando said.
âYou must think this through clearly. If you let Han Sen leave this place, then you are a traitor to the Destroyed. You know how we deal with traitors.â Klose smiled threateningly. He went on to say, âPlus, the Dragon hate your guts now. And if you betray us, the Destroyed, do you think any other race in this universe will accept you?â
âMen that go with the flow are smart. You arenât a naive teenager. Destroying your future for the sake of a single promise isnât a good idea. Iâm not going to stop you, though. If you want to leave, you may. And you can take what youâve earned with you. But the prisoner is mine. I will take him back. Itâs none of your business, and you will have kept your promise.â Klose reached out his hand to grab Han Sen.
âI told you that he is leaving here. Whoever tries to stop him will be trying to stop me,â Lando said, his eyes locked on Klose.
Kloseâs expression turned grim as he stared back at Lando. He coldly said, âLando, do you think that being deified will let you do whatever you want? You should know that a single deified means nothing to the Destroyed. We can still have you killed with ease.â
âThe Destroyed might be able to kill me, but you canât. You can leave now, okay?â Lando said, his voice as hard as granite.
Kloseâs face was frozen. Landoâs words had made him angry. He knew that he wasnât weak, but Lando had the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo and the Tianxia Unicorn on his side. If he fought Lando now, it would be one versus three. He couldnât win against those odds.
âI hope you donât regret this decision you have made,â Klose snarled. Then he turned around and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
âNow that he has left, have you really become a traitor to the Destroyed?â Han Sen asked with a blink.
âThis wouldnât be the first time Iâve become a traitor.â Landoâs face seemed to be devoid of emotion. He turned the Tianxia Unicorn to continue heading out of the system.
