NOVEL WEB Chapter 195: Zeno's Decision
Looking at the sneer on Goten's face, Zeno's expression grew increasingly grim. In truth, such a situation was something he had anticipated. Whether it was Goten or Zalama, neither had chosen to flee after his arrival. This meant they had already prepared a complete countermeasure against him. It could also be said that they were not afraid of him or the Grand Priest at all.
Now, it was clear that Goten had demonstrated his absolute strength. The Grand Priest, even in his True Angel form, was utterly vulnerable in front of him. What's more, it seemed Goten was continuously absorbing the Grand Priest's Angel power. If Goten were to fully absorb the Grand Priest's True Angel form, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even more concerning was the fact that Zeno still didn't know what kind of abilities Zalama possessed. While Goten was now a significant threat—an unstable factor that jeopardized the balance of the entire universe—Zeno didn't feel particularly repulsed or disgusted by him. In fact, even if Goten were to defeat the Grand Priest and himself, Zeno wouldn't feel overwhelming fear.
The issue didn't lie with Goten himself. Despite his changes, Goten still retained a kind side in his heart. Even if the entire dimensional world fell into his hands, it was unlikely that the world would be destroyed.
But Zalama was different. If Zalama were to gain control over the entire world, it would undoubtedly be plunged into darkness. At that point, all dimensional universes would undergo catastrophic changes. This was what worried Zeno the most...
"You two, hurry up and help the Grand Priest!" Zeno finally ordered his two guards.
"Yes, Zeno-sama," the guards replied immediately, rushing toward Goten at top speed. They clenched their fists and launched a direct attack. However, their feeble strikes posed no threat to Goten. Their strength paled in comparison to the Grand Priest's, even before he had transformed into his ultimate Angel form. Now, with the Grand Priest stronger than ever, Zeno's guards were utterly outmatched.
The moment they swung their fists, Goten extended his palm, generating a powerful suction force that trapped their attacks. Not only did their strikes fail to land, but they also found themselves unable to retract their fists. Worse, they could feel their energy being rapidly drained.
"What the hell is going on with this bastard?!" one guard exclaimed in panic.
"Has he already absorbed most of the Grand Priest's power?" the other added.
If this continued, all their strength would be siphoned away by Goten. It was clear that most of the Grand Priest's energy had already been absorbed. If Goten were to take their power as well, he would undoubtedly become the most powerful being in existence—surpassing even Zeno-sama.
"Hah!" With a sudden burst of energy, the two guards broke free from Goten's grasp and leaped back to Zeno's side.
"Zeno-sama," one of them said with a grave expression, "Goten's power is too immense. We're no match for him. Unless you transform into the Omni God, we stand no chance."
Even so, they knew that such a transformation would require Zeno to absorb them entirely, causing them to vanish forever. But they also understood that this was their only option. If Zeno didn't take this step, Goten would kill them all—including Zeno himself.
Zeno's face darkened. His rule-based powers had no effect on Goten, and now he feared that even if he fused with his guards to become the Omni God, it might not be enough to defeat Goten.
But that wasn't his greatest concern. What truly worried him was the possibility of both himself and Goten being defeated, leaving Zalama as the sole beneficiary. If the world fell into Zalama's hands, it would be plunged into eternal darkness. All life—humans and gods alike—would be eradicated.
As Zeno hesitated, the Grand Priest, now drained of nearly all his Angel power, lay nearby. His youthful appearance had withered into a wrinkled, lifeless shell. The truth was, he was as good as dead. Goten had absorbed almost all of his energy.
"This is the price you pay for your foolish actions," Goten said coldly, tossing the Grand Priest aside. He didn't revel in cruelty, but these were the consequences of their own choices.
[T/N: You killed the loli. That was cruelty.]
"I think I already know what to do," Zeno muttered, his resolve hardening. "Let's fuse together!"
Seeing the Grand Priest reduced to a lifeless husk, Zeno nodded. He knew he couldn't defeat Goten as he was. His proud rule-based powers were useless against Goten, and his combat abilities were no match either.
"Yes, Zeno-sama," the guards replied, their seriousness reigniting a spark of hope. If Zeno-sama became the Creator God, they still had a chance.
In the next moment, the two guards positioned themselves on either side of Zeno, ready to merge with him.
