Apotheosis

Once Monica finished speaking, the man testing his strength shouted and raised his hand which wielded a long sword.

Six sword radiance beams shot out from the sword and charged at the red stone.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"It's the Six Fractals Strike. He has mastered it well. However, his Other Shore Token is nothing unique. It's an ordinary Heavenly Cyan Stone," Monica explained while shaking her head.

Although she didn't hold this Flag Master in high regard, he was nevertheless a powerful warrior of the Other Shore Realm. In Zen's eyes, his strike was anything but weak.

At the same time, Zen asked, "You mentioned the divine megaton. What is it exactly?"

"Look!" Monica exclaimed as she pointed at the red stone.

He was clueless to what the red stone was made of. It didn't crack under the powerful hit of a warrior of the Other Shore Realm. No damage was evident on its surface.

The spiral pattern within the stone's center began to slowly twirl and gradually revealed a word—Two.

"The man struck the stone with his full strength along with the power of the Heavenly Cyan Stone. But the resulting strength is equivalent to only two divine megatons," Monica explained further with a smile.

"In other words, the divine megaton is a scale unit that weighs one's power?" Zen asked for confirmation.

Monica nodded. Wanting to impress Zen, she outstretched her hand when the Flag Master left and a sword shadow soon appeared.

Moments later, a triangular Other Shore Token hovered above her head along with a surge in her aura. Wielding her weapon, she rushed forward towards the red stone with agile steps.

"Crack!"

The illusory sword slashed at the red stone and was followed by an audible crack.

Some Flag Masters who passed by hurriedly stopped as soon as they heard the sound. Turning their heads, they saw the word "Eleven" appear on the red stone.

"Your power reached eleven divine megatons?" Zen asked in amazement as he walked to her side.

Monica nodded and said, "My Other Shore Token isn't strong enough. That's why I was barely able to reach that level."

Although her Other Shore Token was comparatively weak, it still possessed a powerful theurgy. Of course, she wouldn't tell Zen what it was.

Amused at his bewildered expression, Monica chuckled and said, "You should give it a shot. Let's see what level your power is."

"Me? But I haven't reached the Other Shore Realm yet,"

st displayed, he naturally began to doubt his abilities with his words.

"Really? I wonder how strong you were when you had yet to reach the Other Shore Realm, Flag Master Philbert. Perhaps one-tenth of Zen's current level? Or even less?" Monica retorted.

In Monica's eyes, even the disciples on top of the Oneness Mountain could hardly reach one divine megaton with the use of their strongest truth theurgy—much less Philbert when he was still a True God.

Philbert let out a cold snort and hurried away as he carried the flag on his shoulder.

Monica turned to Zen and said, "Don't mind Philbert. Once you reach the Other Shore Realm, people like him will have no right to belittle you like that..."

"I don't care." Zen shook his head.

He realized now that staying in the Dragon City meant that he had no choice but to constantly improve his strength and gain the recognition of the Oneness Sky Palace.

"Alright, come with me. It's time you chose some truth theurgies," Monica said.

Zen nodded in agreement and followed her into the depths of the Dragon City.

At the peak of the Origin Mountain, a huge transmission array constantly flashed blue and white.

Soon after, a short figure emerged. It was a golden-haired Ear Mouse.

This transmission array was used by the Origin Mountain to connect to the outside world. On either side of it stood guards who were highly cultivated. They were all strong warriors of the Other Shore Realm.

Once the guards saw this golden-haired Ear Mouse, they were baffled.

With a high-pitched voice, the mouse requested, "Tell your master to come here at once!"
