Chapter 742 Absolute Power

Shortly after Li An left, Valla awoke.Many of his tribesmen stood around him, having come out to search for their chieftain after discovering the storm had subsided.The tribesmen clearly saw strange changes occurring in their chieftain's body as he slept.His previously loose, dry, and wrinkled skin slowly tightened, becoming as youthful as a young man's. Blood surged beneath his arms, and muscle tissue began to grow explosively.The chieftain's body began to expand eerily.To all the tribesmen present, it was utterly bizarre!Like something out of a horror movie!The chieftain's flesh writhed and writhed!Growing stronger! Expanding!A few minutes later, the chieftain's legs were taller than those of an average dwarf; after a while, ordinary dwarves could only reach his knees!This wasn't a dwarf; this was clearly a giant!Furthermore, strange white patterns flowed across the chieftain's massive body, like blood vessels, but a sacred white, with two even etched on his cheeks.The entire arena fell silent.Everyone staring at the seemingly mutated chieftain felt a chill run down their spines, their eyes trembling.What was happening?Just lying there, the aura emanating from him seemed to threaten to crush the hearts of all his people.Even the bravest warriors of the tribe couldn't help but show fear in their eyes.What kind of monster was this?Was this still the chieftain?Suddenly!"Whoosh!" Valra opened his eyes!Two beams of white light shot into the sky. His waist and abdomen seemed to exert no force at all; he stood upright in mid-air, his feet dangling.Every movement seemed like an instinct etched into his blood.Valra looked down at his arms. Once wrinkled and aged, shrunken, now, there was only endless muscle and boiling divine blood!Power! At this moment, Valra felt he could shatter this entire planet with a single punch!He couldn't help but let out a resounding battle roar, the sound waves rolling, dust billowing, and all the dwarves instinctively retreated, their terror growing!Valra opened his arms, his terrifying reach seeming to embrace the world."Chieftain!" Lolo stammered.Valra responded, his voice majestic and deep.At this moment, only eight words echoed in his mind:By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous!"I have received a divine gift!""He has granted me the power to fear no natural disaster, but He has one condition.""Rule all the dwarves on this planet!""Become the King of the Dwarves!"Upon hearing this, terror filled the eyes of Lolo and the others.This was something they had never even dared to dream of.Has the chieftain gone mad?Why does he seem like a completely different person? Valla offered no explanation, walking ahead of everyone and calmly saying, "Follow me.""We'll head to the Kuro tribe now."The Kuro tribe and the Valo tribe were sworn enemies. Their settlements were close, so conflicts often arose during scavenging. Faced with survival, these conflicts escalated into life-or-death battles, ultimately turning into a blood feud!But now, the giant walking on this land was no longer the incompetent old man.Valla, the Valo tribe's chieftain, was dead.Now, standing before them was the Heavenly Attendant, Saint Valla!The Kuro tribe's interior was brightly lit. Their chieftain, Kusu, was puzzled. A blizzard had clearly been predicted just moments before, and it had indeed arrived.Why had it suddenly vanished?People were perplexed. This was the first time they had misjudged a celestial phenomenon. For a primitive tribe that relied on the laws of nature for survival, such an unpredictable event was deeply unsettling.Then, a tremor shook the earth, as if a gigantic monster was walking above everyone's heads.Kusu pondered whether to turn off the lights.Suddenly, a guard relayed a message: "Valalo, a warrior of the Valo tribe, requests an audience." Kusu snorted coldly, wondering what those people wanted.Valalo, under the guard's threat, approached Kusu.Kusu stood on the stone platform, arms crossed, looking down at the dwarf, and sneered, "You Valo dare to come before me?""Are you courting death?""Kneel!" Valalo did not kneel, but instead raised his head and said calmly, "Our chieftain has ordered.""The Kuo tribe must immediately submit to the Valo tribe.""What?" Kusu was stunned, thinking he had misheard.Valalo repeated, "You must immediately submit to the Valo tribe." The entire Kuo tribe was silent for three seconds, then erupted in a roar of laughter.Everyone laughed so hard they were doubled over, their voices shrill."Have the Valo people eaten something wrong and are hallucinating?""This Valo wretch is absolutely insane! Chieftain, please allow me to execute him immediately!" Kusu's eyes narrowed to slits, filled with confusion."Say that again?"Valalo remained unfazed, saying, "If you do not submit, our chieftain will grant you death."Kusu didn't want to waste any more words with this lunatic, waving his hand and saying, "Cut off his head and throw it into Valo territory."As soon as he finished speaking, dwarven warriors carrying greatswords approached, ready to execute Valalo.Suddenly!"Insolence!"A majestic voice echoed from above the cave.The sound wave whipped up a strong wind, making it difficult for some Kuo people to even stand.Kusu, his face filled with astonishment, looked up.The next second.Dense cracks appeared in the rock strata above the underground city.The earth shook violently.Terror filled everyone's eyes.Kusu screamed in terror, "What is this? What happened?!"Then, the rock strata suddenly exploded!It was as if an unparalleled magical force was tearing apart the ceiling above everyone's heads.White magical energy flowed through the cracks in the rock strata, eventually converging into a powerful force."Boom!" The Kuro tribe's ceiling flew off!A starry sky and a moon appeared above everyone's heads.Kusu looked up and saw a pair of divine eyes looking down at everything below, beside the rock strata above.It was Valla!?"Valla!?" Kusu screamed in disbelief!Valla, with a mocking smile, leaped down from above, but still retaining some sense of reason, placing its feet on the city streets, not directly crushing anyone's dwellings.Kusu stood between its legs, unable to even see Valla's face; the enormous creature could blot out the starry sky, like a terrifying monster.The entire Kuro tribe trembled.Val stretched out two fingers, pinched Kusu's head, and held it up in front of him, coldly saying, "Submit, or die?"Then, he unleashed the oppressive aura of the Heavenly Blood.It was a power capable of instantly destroying an entire city, yet it possessed a gentle quality, not a bloodthirsty killing intent, so that no one felt any desire to resist.Kusu stared dumbfounded at Valla: "Why have you become so powerful?"Valla replied indifferently, "I am a fortunate chosen one.""The gods have bestowed upon me unparalleled power, commanding me to subjugate all the dwarves on this planet.""If you choose to submit, I will not harm you, for all hatred has vanished with my changed status. Now, I have only one mission in my heart: to fulfill the task bestowed upon me by the gods.""He did this because He saw the boundless potential of the dwarves. He wants to take us to live in paradise, where there is no cold, only warmth; no hunger, only endless food; and vast oceans.""Kusu, come with me to paradise.""We are all dwarves; we should work together."At this moment, the Valla people felt a warmth in their hearts. They had thought that their chieftain, after gaining power, had changed drastically and would engage in irrational slaughter.Fortunately, their chieftain had never changed; he remained full of wisdom.Finally, Kusu lowered his head and said, "The Kuro people are willing to follow the gods." Valla smiled and said, "Very good."
