'No, what is this all of a sudden? But more importantly, is nobody bothered by the fact that the main hall is floating out of nowhere?'
There was no more time to think.
Jin and Vahn's illuminating hearts resonated, triggering the Battle God fusion. Right after that, a spear flew in front of Jin's eyes.
It was Teto's spear.
'Darn it, I'm late...! No, are you leisurely waiting?'
It was clear that he would have seen his blood. Or, he suffered an internal injury while pushing it away.
But now Jin couldn't see the blue spear blade flying into his face so slowly.
To the extent that it takes effort to overcome it!
'This is why the sister battle god said to rest long enough to perform the battle god fusion before coming to the main hall. As soon as the opening battle started, everyone really showed their bloodlust, it's because there's no point in clumsy fighting spirit against sister battle god.'
Jin doesn't even have to draw his sword.
'Well, I wanted to use the power of the sister battle god in real combat at least once.'
Jin extended his fist towards the spear blade at almost the speed of light. From Teto's perspective, he couldn't even perceive the moment when Jin moved.
Bang-!
The blow containing the aura of the 12th battle king and the fist of a human collided, but the one pushed back was Teto.
No, it was not just being pushed back.
"Ugh!"
Teto, spewing blood, was sent flying far away from the main hall. It was as if he was thrown away like an arrow or shards when a rock breaks.
As soon as Teto flew away, all sorts of weapons flew into Jin's clear vision.
Swords, spears, bows, and even a mysterious net suitable for capturing giant monsters.
The fact that everything had come this far with a 'safe' feeling made Jin unconsciously feel thrill.
'Was it really this powerful...!'
It is a fact that Jin has known for a long time that the martial arts of Vahn are the same as the great sea.
However, wielding that power directly was a literally different experience.
Aaah-!
With just a single burst of energy, Jin could repel the brethren who were rushing like hungry ghosts.
Baltirok's Longsword, Lumora's Spear, Palem's Longsword, Linpa's Greatsword, Boras's Fists and Hand Cannon, Dalpir's Twin Swords, Beliz's Greatsword, Garmund's Greatsword, Baba's Longsword, Kaio's Bow, Nata's Flying Kick, Teto's spear that joined the fray again.
And countless weapons from the ordinary warriors. All of those attacks couldn't penetrate Jin's released energy.
On the other hand, Jin was able to successfully attack so easily. The ordinary warriors were swept away like fallen leaves with the strong wind, and the battle kings raised their energies.
The entire sky trembled as if it was about to collapse under their collective pressure.
To the extent that the surging energy created a storm like a tidal wave in an instant, and in the distorted space, screams resembling cracks resounded.
In an instant, a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse unfolded. Already, some ordinary warriors could not withstand the storm and collapsed.
To prevent further harm to the fallen ones, Jin sent his energy towards them, forming protective shields around them. Naturally, as if it were his own strength.
It seemed that he could afford to protect all ordinary warriors in that way.
"Haha...."
A bitter laugh escaped him. This was the power of the 'Battle God' of the Plutonian Tribe.
"Kaaaa!"
The first battle king to break through Jin's lightning was Nata. Kaio shot an arrow to clear the way, and within that opening, Nata roared and leaped.
It was then that Jin drew Sigmund.
The blade was imbued with an unparalleled lightning energy compared to any other time. And as the blade emerged from its sheath, Jin had one firm conviction.
That if he set his mind to it, he could cut down the charging Nata with a single slash.
Jin didn't articulate those thoughts, but Nata instinctively understood.
"If it had been the real sister battle god, she would not have hesitated. Brother Jin."
Swoosh! Pzzz! Lightning energy swirled and gathered into Nata's fist.
'An illusion? No, it's a variable. Created by sister Nata.'
The moment Jin was certain, he had to strike anywhere. Even if it meant Nata wouldn't die and somehow managed to take one more step to deliver a punch.
She was the battle king of the Plutonian.
Although she was not up to the level of battle god, she wasn't someone to fall to a mere sword.
Even the real Vahn had to be sincere to kill her. Especially in a situation like this where all the twelve battle kings and all the ordinary warriors were attacking at once.
Nata's fist passed by Jin's ear. He lost his sense of balance momentarily due to the shockwave, but it wasn't enough to pose a problem for a counterattack.
Jin slashed her fists with the hilt of his sword and unleashed a sweeping strike.
Just as Nata's blood was about to evaporate into lightning energy, Beliz's greatsword entered for the second blow.
Dodge and stab, shoot sword energy while parrying Kaio's lightning arrows, twist the trajectory of Palem and Lumora's attack, push back Baltirok, topple Dalpir and Garmund, deflect Linpa, and strike Boras's chin. (he adjusted the force, considering Boras's busy schedule) and struck down Teto's spear.
It took 3 seconds to do all this.
Jin hadn't received any effective hits yet, and amidst the chaos, he attempted to counterattack as their formation crumbled.
But one person remained.
9th battle King, Baba. The direct descendant of the former battle god Nana. Her blue blade rushed through the chaotic battlefield.
'This is dangerous.'
A chill ran down Jin's spine. Amidst the turmoil, a sense of danger, seemingly impossible in the Battle God fusion state, abruptly awakened his senses.
The perfect solution to overcome this danger was to precisely counterattack.
The eyes and senses made him able to wield the sword without wavering even in the midst of such a desperate situation.
However, receiving this blow would either kill or severely injure Baba.
If it weren't for Nata's earlier example, Jin might have hesitated again. After all, they were not enemies but brethren engaged in a sparring match.
'To react clumsily for fear of hurting sister Baba is rather an insult to her.'
As if it were a lie, Jin's lightning energy, spread in all directions, gathered around Sigmund before anyone could blink.
Before the edges of their swords met, there was an extremely brief moment when all of Jin's energy concentrated.
Crackle...…!
Baba's sword was distorted. Her arm, holding the sword, twisted, yet Jin didn't stop even after seeing it.
A shockwave that seemed to destroy the entire hall instantly spread.
Nearby Battle Kings were thrown in random directions, and Jin didn't retract the released energy.
Instead, he amplified it, fueled by the intention to annihilate every Battle King. The explosion tinted the surroundings entirely white, and due to the immense shock, Jin couldn't immediately grasp the situation even with the sense of battle god.
And what Jin regrets didn't happen.
Breaking through that massive explosion, what appeared next was Baba's sword descending like a lightning bolt once again. A sword threatening him, tearing through the white storm of the shockwave.
It wasn't as threatening as the first time.
Jin effortlessly blocked Baba's sword and slammed it to the floor, not giving her a chance to get up. He lunged towards her like a beast, aiming the blade at her throat.
Kaio's arrow, which flew right before the stab, pushed Sigmund away.
Once again, the linked attacks of the Battle Kings showed an even more formidable momentum.
Moreover, some ordinary warriors were cunningly following the path cleared by the Battle Kings and entering the fray.
At that moment, Jin could only display an exhilarated look once more.
Even after using the Battle God Fusion, facing such a 'tiring' situation was possible, revealing that his opponents were indeed his powerful and persistent brethren.
Jin felt proud of the greatest fighting race in history.
"Give me cover, brother 10th battle King!"
"Charge! Don't face him one-on-one!"
"Sister 9th battle king, you need time to recover!"
The longer the fight, the more scratches were forming on Jin's body one by one. Other members of the Plutonian tribe had broken bones and crushed muscles in most cases, but their momentum did not diminish at all.
Rather, it was becoming more ferocious.
It would have been impossible if they were alone, but personal injury was not a problem for the Plutonian tribe, who were engaged in a coordinated attack.
They moved as one regardless of battle kings and ordinary warriors. There is no difference at all depending on the level of battle prowess, and anyone can become the center of attack whenever the opportunity arises.
Jin rushed between them without hesitation and broke the formation.
However, no matter how toppled it, the Plutonian tribesmen showed no signs of collapsing.
Vahn watched them with satisfaction from above, riding on Lingling's back, who had transformed his body.
[Huh... Seeing him fight well annoys me. He is strong, but with Vahn's power added, he's like he grew wings.]
"Lingling, why do you act like you dislike brother Jin even though you don't really hate him?"
[Why do you ask when you are reading my mind, Vahn?]
"That's right."
[... More importantly, do you really think it's okay to give everything to him, Vahn?]
Vahn smiled.
"I'm ready to give everything to brother Jin and all my other brethren at any time."
[Sheesh, how can you say that sincerely, Vahn?]
"And so do you, Lingling. You are not a brother, but a part of me, no. Because we became a family."
Lingling didn't answer but flapped his wings bashfully.
Whoa...….
Vahn picked her breath as if exhausted.
The time has come for the battle god fusion to end.
The 10 minutes, which was the maximum earlier, had been extended, so the current battle god fusion was causing even greater fatigue.
The moment the battle ended,
Jin breathed heavily and held his blade against Baba's neck, while the other Battle kings pointed their weapons at his body.
At first, Jin overpowered them, but gradually the synchronization rate of battle god fusion decreased, and in the end he was pushed back.
The Plutonian tribesmen stopped all attacks as soon as the battle god fusion was over.
Although it was a short battle of less than 10 minutes, Jin and the Plutonians were all showing signs of exhaustion like people who had been on the battlefield for days.
"Phew, that was intense. Brother Jin!"
"The battle would have ended in an instant had it not been for the power of sister Vahn."
"That's obvious. Anyway, it was an enjoyable fight!"
As always happens whenever Jin achieves an 'achievement', the Plutonians suddenly open their mouths in the air of the main hall.
Then, like young beasts trying to eat the falling snow, they swallowed the air.
It was a bit embarrassing, but burst into laughter at the innocent appearance of his brethren.
"Excellent. With this, let's conclude the opening match of the Great Tournament of the Battle Kings."

章節 455: Chapter 614
[T.L: punisher87]
[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
It was like a dreamlike battle.
The sense and experience of the battle god that Jin had in the opening battle lingered in Jin's mind, stimulating his thoughts even days later.
It felt as if an artist had been exposed to a powerful inspiration just before creating a masterpiece. Jin constantly replayed the opening match in his mind, and his eyes remained distant.
'I was just blocking brother Kaio's arrows. Instead of blocking it, if I had countered and redirected it as it was, it would have been easier to deal with the follow-up attacks of the brethren. And....'
The Plutonian tribesmen clicked their tongues in concern after seeing Jin like that.
"Since the opening battle, brother Jin has become strange."
"He seems to have gained a taste. Is it because he regrets that the power of the sister battle god is not really his?"
"Brother Jin is not like that. I think he is just organizing the enlightenment he gained from that day's battle."
"Anyway, now that everyone has been treated, the Great Tournament of Battle Kings will begin today. That's why I'm worried about whether brother Jin will properly face the brother 12th battle King."
As Vahn said, the first battle after the opening battle was between Jin and Teto. Unlike Jin, Teto continued to train hard every day as soon as Boras's treatment was over.
Jin can no longer use battle god fusion until the Great Tournament of the Battle Kings is over.
He must compete with his brethren entirely with his own strength.
The ordinary warriors gathered to chat or train together, but the battle kings did not even exchange glances, except for Boras.
It was as if the once-close brethren were no longer so.
Regardless of who the opponent was, an intense mind battle was inevitable, leading to a fierce showdown with willpower and fighting spirit.
Even if one were to become the final winner, aside from the Battle God, all the members of the Plutonian tribe were simply brethren.
At least, that's how it had always been in the era of Vahn.
Yet, the Battle Kings were taking such a stern stance due to their inherent pride and self-esteem.
They believed that giving their all was the only act of consideration towards their opponents.
Above all, the final winner of the Great Tournament of Battle Kings signifies being "closest to the Battle God."
The existence of battle god is the ultimate goal of the Plutonians.
The fact that they become the closest to the battle god is the greatest honor that a Plutonian can enjoy.
Jin also wanted to be the protagonist of that glory.
Kururuk-! Pzzz!
Suddenly, lightning struck from above the main hall.
It meant that the match was about to begin. Defying the pouring lightning, the Plutonians on the ground threw themselves into the main hall.
Using ropes, creating sword winds to fly, or stepping on the backs of climbing brethren and leaping.
It was a bizarre sight, but amidst defying the lightning, there was a sublime atmosphere surrounding the Plutonians ascending the main hall.
Vahn awaited them at the center of the main hall.
"Brother 12th battle Kings and Brother Jin, step forward."
It was then that Jin and Teto looked into each other's eyes for the first time.
Unlike his usual playful demeanor, Teto was filled with a fighting spirit, while Jin remained composed.
"The rules are simple. Make the opponent incapable of fighting or throw them outside the main hall for victory. Also, murder is strictly prohibited, but there are no restrictions on using any type of sword techniques."
All the Plutonian tribesmen waiting, including the battle god, were safety personnel, so even if you use sword techniques to your heart's content, you couldn't easily kill the opponent.
However, accidents were inevitable.
As the lightning subsided, a moment of silence enveloped the surroundings.
The fight began with Vahn turning away as a signal.
Suaaak-!
Jin extended his sword first. Sword energy and lightning exploded in all directions, and in the meantime, Teto thrust his spear.
From the very first clash, both aimed clearly for fatal blows. Jin aimed for the chest, and Teto aimed for the neck, and both areas sprouted sparks without leaving a trace.
As soon as the drops of blood splashed, it evaporated without a trace in the lightning.
The distance of about a hundred steps relentlessly narrowed and widened repeatedly, and afterimages of the two were left everywhere.
It was incomparable to when they sparred to check Jin's skills before purifying the chaos.
Those who were watching the fight were also very nervous. It was because it was so intense that it wouldn't be strange if an accident happened at any time.
"This can't be all you've got, right? Fight properly, Brother Jin!"
Teto shouted and repelled Jin with a burst of energy.
Jin, who had been pushed away, became unstable due to the consecutive attacks, and Teto relentlessly pressed on in that opening.
However, something was off.
Even with Jin losing his center of gravity, Teto couldn't leave more than superficial wounds on him.
Of course, even if they were small wounds, they were rapidly accumulating, and the impacts were bound to build up. Still, for some reason, Teto exercised caution with an uneasy sensation.
'I didn't feel like this....'
Meanwhile, Jin continued to reminisce about the opening battle, attempting to utilize that sensation to the fullest in his current state without the use of battle god fusion.
"Ah!"
When Jin opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, Teto suddenly stopped attacking.
"Sorry, brother 12th battle King. I couldn't concentrate because I was thinking."
It wasn't a lie, but he intentionally spoke with a sneer for provocation.
Teto narrowed his eyes and replied:
"Throwing such shallow provocations suddenly ruins the mood, Brother Jin."
"Well, then, I apologize."
It was just a test for provocation. Jin recalled a part of that sensation from that moment.
Then, felt confident that he could defeat Teto in an instant. Even though it might be the weakest among Battle Kings, he was still the battle king of the Plutonian tribe.
Zzzzz...…!
The swirling lightning gathered into Sigmund.
At that moment, not only Teto but also those watching could see what kind of sword Jin would execute.
"As a gesture of apology, I will consider your opinion, brother 12th battle king."
10-star.
Jin's aura had already reached that realm. However, it was not enough to just have a strength of 10-star.
The important thing is how transcendently and efficiently one can handle that power.
"I hope this sword will remain as a glorious memory for you, brother 12th battle King."
Plutonian Swordsmanship Battle God, 10th sword
Plutonian Reign Sword – Open
Except for Vahn, the brethren never saw Jin using the Plutonian reign sword.
Even if they saw it, the Plutonian tribesmen probably wouldn't have been particularly moved. The Plutonian Reign Sword that Jin had displayed in the meantime could not even be compared with the original version of the Vahn, and was fundamentally incomplete.
However, the current Plutonian Reign Sword was different.
While its power still fell far short of the original, its form and execution were close to completion. This was achieved by Jin's body, using Vahn's senses to execute.
'Brother Jin... as expected, did he learn the ultimate technique of the battle god?'
9th battle King, Baba, who was watching, unconsciously smiled with a bitter expression.
Teto, who was faced with the ultimate technique, couldn't help but be astonished.
The ground of the main hall was crushed and lightning bolts erupted like lava. Jin's eyes glowed blue with lightning, and the illuminating heart vibrated as if it would explode at any moment, spreading brilliance.
The vicious lightning bolts stirred up a storm, rapidly forming Jin's domain.
Against this, Teto also performed his Plutonian spearmanship of battle king. Within Jin's domain, Teto's illuminating heart swayed, clearly forming a point that stood out.
The energies emanating from the two hearts clashed, creating a blue flame.
"Compared to the real thing... It is nothing!"
The outcome was decided the moment Teto shouted so. If it truly was nothing, he wouldn't have hastily executed the Battle King Mystic Technique.
Nevertheless, even though Jin was confident of victory, he didn't halt the progress of the sword.
As he experienced in the opening battle, battle kings were beings who can create variables at any time, even in absolutely unfavorable situations.
They were opponents who could hone the Plutonian Reign Sword with all their might.
Following the Battle God 3rd sword move-Condemnation, the newly learned 7th sword move-Dragon Slayer and 9th sword move - Annihilation aimed at Teto.
An ordinary warrior would not be able to withstand even one of them. Instead, the ordinary warriors were enduring the storm of Plutonian reign sword without the help of Vahn and the battle Kings.
"Kaaaaa...!"
Teto's spear instantly pushed away Jin's lightning energy. If Jin hadn't spread his Plutonian Reign sword, it held enough power to put Jin in a crisis.
[You shouldn't have given me time to think, brother 12th battle Kings.]
The second form of ultimate technique, Plutonian Regin Sword, the War was not executed. If the intention was not to take Teto's life deliberately, it was already enough to end the fight.
It was the 9th sword move - Annihilation that defeated Teto.
A massive blue energy spread around Jin like giant wings, generating a storm of lightning bolts that battered Teto.
Teto can't escape. Dodging, blocking, enduring – that was all Teto could do. Teto was gradually pushed back and stepped back, and the blade of annihilation slashed him more ferociously. With the power amplified to the limit through the Plutonian Reign Sword.
"Ha, huh...!"
When Annihilation finally ceased, Teto appeared lifeless, covered in blood, and Jin didn't stop there.
He fired the awl of condemnation one last time.
Even as Teto lost consciousness, he tried to fend off the condemnation until the last moment.
It was inevitable that Teto would fall outside the hall, unable to withstand the impact.
Jin suppressed the surging energy, took a deep breath, and other brethren immediately rushed towards the falling Teto.
When the battle was over, it was a tradition of the Great Tournament to rescue the loser in any form.
Thud!
Lumora grabbed Teto, and the other brethren pulled them back to the main hall.
"Darn it... I had to break free from the weakest."
"I told you to wake up. Brother 12th Battle King, it was because you fought with such a fragile mind that you were injured so badly. Try again next time, Brother Jin. Originally, brother 12th battle King had to win to be normal."
"The battle is over, the winner is brother Jin."
After Ban solemnly announced the result, Jin didn't hear the usual thunderous cheers of the Plutonians.
Instead, what greeted him was the fierce gaze of the Battle Kings, as if they would devour him immediately.
Even in the midst of this, there were battle kings who secretly swallowed air and ate Jin's achievement.
'This is the first and last easy victory.'
Jin had no choice but to swallow dry saliva while meeting the murderous gazes of his brethren with a smile.
