Chapter 552: Duorda's Immediate Ascension

"The Leisure Gods? I like that…" Jack smiled and shrugged, for once feeling appreciative towards Halmut.

"Oh, and since we're talking about the other gods, I almost forgot to mention something about your father," Daruun mentioned. "To reach lv. 97, Sterfen had Moranti fight Halmut while he forcibly teleported Naparn away during Halmut's returning speech to the world. This led to Sterfen secretly overwhelming, torturing, and killing Naparn. Sterfen even used my gift to steal Naparn's latent cosmic energy. That's how Sterfen now, thanks to your ascension, is lv. 98."

"Seriously? If he's that strong, how come he--"

"Remember, you're the main role now," stated Daruun. "If he acted out before you got involved in all this, how would there be anything left for you? How would you level up or end up making pacts with cosmicians so early on?"

"True…" sighed Jack.
