I.. Am God?

"Stop!" He shouted with a powerful and domineering voice, with it his entire soul and newly gained strength. His voice echoed, with it were the voices of all the Imperial Descendants.

The staff in his hand glew golden, and with it the ancient runes and the eye on his forehead. Phantasmal energy suddenly floated steadily towards the mysterious person. Then..

Boom!

The mysterious person's body suddenly stopped, and with it, the spinning spear on his hand. Their being went still, as if time paused for them, but the person's reaction could still be recognized; fear coming from the deep recesses of his soul.

Even Alexander was shocked while looking at the still man. He doesn't recognize what power he had used, and how he used it. He did not do anything but shout, yet this happened.

"What.. is this?" He muttered to himself, bewildered by the power he erupted with.

"That is the Law of Authority." A voice suddenly answered. Alexander turned to where it came from, and he saw a white lion descending from the high mountains. Behind the lion, was the person they all wanted to see.

"Father!" Alexander exclaimed before staggering. "Your Majesty!" Cane and the others also exclaimed when they saw their Emperor.

Alexander's form turned ethereal, and soon, the other Imperial Descendants emerged from his image.

Alexander had also returned to his normal form, and rushed towards his Father, "Where have you been?!" Alexander shouted angrily.

Matthias looked calmly at his son before chuckling, "I've been conquering the continent."

"What do you mean you were conquering the continent?" Alexander asked with a bewildered expression, looking at his father as if he had seen through his lies, "You already own the continent as its ruler. What are you conquering?"

"The continent." Matthias smiled as he repeated the same thing before turning around.

From the mountain, exactly ninety-nine people dressed exactly the same as the mysterious person descended, which made Alexander, who just fought against one of them, grimace with fear.

The soldiers also paled as soon as they saw the ninety-nine men descend. Alexander immediately prepared himself for a fight.

But, what made him terrified the most was when two of the white-armored men held the chains with their bare hands, and untangled the chains that were binding the mysterious person.

Thinking about that chain, he immediately and fearfully looked at the chain that was on the brink of shattering, but the golden chains immediately disappeared from their sight as soon as the mysterious person was freed. Alexander couldn't sense the presence of the chains any longer, as if it was but a fragment of his imagination.

The mysterious person, now free from his shackles, massaged the areas that were bounded by the chains before walking together with the Hundred-men group.

"Prepare!" Alexander shouted as he drew his spear, looking at the group with solemnity. "Stand down, My son." Oddly though, Matthias raised his hand and placed it on Alexander's arm before forcing it down.

"But, Father! They are dangerous!" Alexander protested, but Matthias stayed firm, so he couldn't do anything, though he stayed vigilant as the men got nearer and nearer to them, with his God Sight prepared for the worst. But, to his shock..

"Greetings, Human Emperor!" The men knelt down and greeted him with reverence. Amidst the incredulous looks of his descendant and men, Matthias waved his hand up, letting the men to stand again.

"What is the meaning of this, Father?" Calming himself, though unsuccessful, Alexander asked his father with a choked voice.

"They are the Continental Guardians, men whose sole existence is to protect the continent." Matthias replied, "The challenge is to test the heirs of the Ruler, assessing their right to be named Inheritors."

After explaining that, the mysterious person who fought with him walked towards them and cupped his hands before bowing, "Lord Alexander, forgive my presumptuousness earlier."

Not knowing how to respond, Alexander only nodded to him. "This is the hundredth guardian." Matthias introduced.

"The strongest?" Alexander asked. "The weakest." Matthias responded with a straight face.

"W-Weakest?" Alexander's brain almost could hold on after taking in a lot of information, so he could only stand still.

"Of course I would send the weakest. Continental Guardians are not just there to protect the continent from invaders from other continents, but from the other side as well. Their strength must be at a level that could defend against otherworldly opponents." Matthias said.

"Other side?" Han Yue tilted his head in confusion. "Like them." Matthias pointed at the sky.

After he said that, a shining heavenly light suddenly shone from the skies above the mountain.

When it appeared, all the terrorizing storm clouds immediately vanished, as if the light's existence elicited deep fear into the clouds.

"What is that?!" Alexander and the others exclaimed before they were blinded by the light. Alexander, especially, was terrified by the divine light that even had the power to drive away the tribulation clouds that even gods fear.

Matthias looked at the people who were covering their eyes. He then waved his hand, causing the people's arms that were covering their eyes to be forced down, sending fear into the people.

"What's happening?! Why can't I move my eyes off the light?"

"Help! My eyes are hurting!"

Trillions of people were alarmed and were panicking when they discovered that they also couldn't even close their eyes.

Alexander noticed his father's action beforehand, so he is certain that he was the one who caused all of this. "Why are you doing this, Father?" He yelled.

Matthias just looked at him before smiling slightly, "Endure it." He then turned around and looked at the sky. Floating to the air with his arms extended, he called out with a loud voice, "People of Divine Heaven!" His voice echoed throughout the continent.

"Is that His Divine Majesty?!"

"His Divine Majesty is back!"

"Save us, Divine Emperor!"

Matthias acted as if he didn't hear any of them as he continued, "Our Empire will enter a new age! An age of true divinity!"

"Witness!" Declaring that all across the continent, the divine light's intensity grew even further.

In all the other continents of the Immortal Territories, in their deepest lairs, ancient beings from millions of years ago opened their eyes and looked at the direction of the Human Continent with shock and fear.

"Bastard!"

"Some idiot doesn't know what he's doing!"

Hundreds of godly beings rose from their positions and reappeared, surrounding the entire mountain's sky. They exuded suffocating pressure, and were surrounded by dense spiritual energy. Looking at the sky, their expressions turned grim.

From the depths of the earth loomed the blackest of fogs, and revealed four black-robed men who looked at the Matthias with wrath. The concrete they were standing on then turned brittle, as if the aura of the men caused it to decay.

When the soldiers and the descendants saw those people appear, they immediately felt small and weak, as if just their sighs would immediately decimate them. In their lives, they had only felt that kind of feeling from one person; Their Emperor.

"What are you doing, False God?!" The black-robed men shouted glaringly, "Heaven and Earth can never coexist in one plane! It would wreck chaos upon all!"

"Cease this, Human Emperor! You don't know what you are doing!" One of the people who came from the other continents criticized.

"Do not force us to personally banish you." The other Immortals growled.

"As the ancient rulers of the Underworld, we have all the right to immediately erase you!" The black-robed men shouted in unison.

Suddenly, a line of black smog rushed to Matthias' side and materialized into a person. His presence in itself brought cold to the surroundings, and his aura already equal to the supposedly ancient rulers of the Underworld.

In his hand, he held a sleek black sword surrounded by a dense black energy. Looking at the black-robed men, he smirked with ridicule, "Rulers of the Underworld? Says who?"

"The Hell Emperor's Disciple?!" The men hissed. Looking at the person beside him, Matthias curled his lips up, "Gail."

Gail, the should-be King of Xi, stood beside him and faintly smiled at him, before smirking at the Underworld rulers. "My Master has just recently left the Underworld in your care, and you're immediately going against his orders of not interfering with the matters of the Overworld. Your boldness knows no bounds!"

"You're just starting as the Hell Emperor's representative, so you do not know what would happen if that person's action was allowed to go on any further." One of the Underworld Rulers said.

*You should back down, Regent. If not, we will be forced to annihilate you together with that ignorant man." Another one warned.

"I challenge you to do so!" Instead of going down, Gail became even more overbearing, looking at the rulers with contempt.

"You!" Angered by how arrogant he is, the rulers looked at the Immortals above and shouted, "These people would never learn! Let us purge them!"
