CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER101-WHERE DID THIS GREEN ONION COME FROM?

Leo nodded.

Though he didn’t often assign tasks to Koro, the young man, whom he had saved from the demon’s grasp, had never once disappointed him.

In Leo’s eyes, Koro’s potential was boundless, and he had high expectations for him.

"Go, and be careful!"

Leo said.

"I’ll be waiting for you back in Dalton."

"Understood, President!"

Koro stood up, without any hesitation.

He resolutely headed toward the Dead Void Star Domain, a place of endless danger.

As Koro’s figure disappeared, a golden light swiftly entered his back.

The supreme mark of protection and guidance silently fused into Koro’s soul.

If Leo’s calculations were correct, when Koro successfully emerged from the Dead Void Star Domain, he would undergo a transformation, a rebirth.

At Divine Peak, beside the stone hut.

Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, both Albert and Wendell immediately sprang up from their stone chairs.

"Who goes there?"

When did someone get so close to them without their knowledge?

They quickly turned their heads.

Before them stood a man in a well-tailored suit, with an unfathomable aura, smiling gently, seemingly unperturbed.

It was Leo.

"Who are you?"

Albert asked in a deep voice.

Invisible forces began to gather around him, like a volcano about to erupt.

Wendell’s expression also turned grim, his staff quietly in hand, the surrounding elements beginning to stir uneasily.

Anyone who could approach them without a sound was certainly not ordinary!

Leo smiled calmly.

"Let me introduce myself, gentlemen. My name is Leo, and I am the President of Dalton."

"Dalton?"

Upon hearing this name, both men furrowed their brows.

They exchanged a glance, seeing the same confusion in each other’s eyes.

"We’ve never heard of this place."

Albert said directly.

Leo wasn’t surprised, and his smile remained unchanged.

Dalton Town’s reputation had indeed not spread far yet, but he believed that day wouldn’t be too far away.

"That’s fine, it’s not important right now."

Leo’s gaze swept over both of them, finally focusing on the stronger presence, Albert.

"You are the God of War of the Arcane Star Domain?"

Both of them were peak-level beings, having reached the pinnacle of Sanctuary Law rank, standing at the top of the pyramid in this star domain.

Albert’s eyes gleamed, and he nodded proudly.

"Yes, that’s me."

"Why? Are you here to challenge me, to prove how ridiculous your strength is?"

Albert had suppressed his initial shock and returned to his usual confidence.

He speculated that the stranger before him must have mastered some advanced spatial concealment magic or wielded a special artifact to approach so silently.

In terms of true combat power, Albert was not afraid of any being under this starry sky!

This was the absolute confidence of the God of War!

Looking at Albert’s imposing battle spirit, Wendell, standing to the side, furrowed his brows slightly.

Using his unique sensitivity as a prophetic magician, he felt that this man, Leo, was far from simple!

His existence seemed as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss!

However, Albert was no one to be provoked easily.

Anyone whom Wendell considered a close friend and treated as an equal could not possibly be an ordinary person.

Wendell chose to observe the situation and quietly gathered mana, preparing for any eventuality.

"A challenge?"

Leo heard Albert’s words and smiled, shaking his head.

It was as if he had heard something amusing.

"I didn’t come here to compete with you. I came to extend an invitation, a sincere one, to join my Dalton."

"..."

Upon hearing Leo’s words, Albert was stunned.

His expression froze immediately.

Even Wendell, standing beside him, showed unmistakable shock.

He couldn’t have heard that right, could he?

This mysterious person actually wanted Albert to join some Dalton that neither of them had ever heard of?

Albert was who?

He was the living legend of the Arcane Star Domain, the unshakable belief of countless warriors and mages!

He was the one and only God of War!

If the billions of beings in the Arcane Star Domain knew that someone dared to speak words like "invite" and "join" to the God of War, they would be consumed by a tide of anger and contempt, drowning the one who dared to say such things.

Who the hell did this guy think he was?

How dare he ask the God of War to lower himself and join him?!

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

After a brief silence, Albert suddenly burst into loud laughter.

His laughter was filled with absurdity and amusement.

He looked at Leo as though inspecting a fool who didn’t know the height of the sky.

Ask him to join some Dalton Town and become someone’s subordinate?

This was the most ridiculous joke under the stars!

Albert suddenly stood up!

A terrifying pressure, a mixture of pure power and unyielding will, surged from his body and instantly enveloped the entire peak!

The rocks beneath his feet groaned under the strain.

Wendell, seeing this, immediately understood that his dear friend was truly angry.

He quickly used a teleportation spell to retreat hundreds of meters to avoid being caught in the imminent conflict.

Albert cracked his neck, and his bones made a thunderous popping sound.

The sheer power within him seemed ready to burst into the sky.

He locked his gaze on Leo.

"Come, unknown strongman!"

"If you can withstand three of my moves without being defeated, then I, Albert, will consider joining your so-called Dalton!"

Hearing Albert’s words, Leo gently shook his head.

Seeing this, Albert smirked with disdain.

Was his "iceberg strength" retreating already?

What a lack of challenge!

"Well, if you’re too scared, then leave."

"I advise you not to speak such overconfident words if you lack the strength to back them up."

Someone who couldn’t even take three of his moves wasn’t fit to invite him into some unknown power.

Clearly, this person before him was just a frog in a well, who got lucky once.

Wendell, watching Leo, furrowed his brows deeply.

Could this person really just be posturing? Had he misjudged the situation?

He sighed inwardly.

After all, how many true peak powerhouses could there be in this vast Starsea?

Wendell shook his head slightly and resumed sipping the cup of coffee that still had a bit of warmth left.

The two of them stopped paying attention to Leo, as though he was now an irrelevant bystander.

"Three moves? Fine, let’s make it quick."

"However, let’s try something different, shall we?"

At this, both Albert and Wendell raised their eyes, their gazes now fully focused on him.

Leo spoke calmly.

"I’ll take just one of your moves. If I retreat even a single step, I lose."

"If not, I win. What do you think of this proposal?"

At first, Leo had intended for Albert to take his move, but though Leo could perfectly control his power to avoid seriously harming Albert, he decided to give the God of War some face, considering Albert might eventually join his ranks.

Upon hearing Leo’s words, Albert’s eyes narrowed.

"Are you sure?"

"I must warn you, I never hold back when I strike."

Taking one of his moves without retreating?

This was far more difficult than a simple exchange of blows.

Many famous powerhouses had perished or been severely injured after facing a single punch from him.

Surviving was no easy feat, let alone standing firm and meeting him head-on.

"I’m not worried. You don’t need to be concerned either."

Leo smiled faintly.

Albert stared deeply at Leo.

Finally, he nodded.

"Fine! It’s a deal!"

Albert’s curiosity about Leo grew slightly.

Could this guy really have some hidden trump card?

The truth would soon be revealed!

In an instant, a force as overwhelming as a mountain erupted from Albert’s body!

He seemed to transform into a war god, ready to crush the starborn beneath him!

The power of the God of War was no joke!

Feeling the pure and powerful energy, Leo silently nodded.

This man indeed had the capital to dominate the Starsea.

"Behold my move!"

Albert stepped forward, and the entire Divine Peak seemed to tremble with his movement.

Then, he threw a simple punch!

At first glance, this punch seemed basic, a mere straight blow.

However, wherever the punch landed, the space shattered like fragile glass, unraveling into a terrifying void that devoured everything!

The punch contained Albert’s entire belief, the will tempered through countless life-and-death battles, and the undefeated fighting spirit that looked down on the Starsea!

This was Albert’s God of War path, his invincible way!

It represented the pinnacle of power and combat skills that countless beings from surrounding star domains could only dream of!

Buzz—!

The force from the punch exploded.

It wasn’t just physical destruction—it carried a soul-shaking pressure!

"This... this is the God of War’s aura! The God of War is striking!"

"The power of the God of War is terrifying!"

"Just a trace of this aura has my soul trembling!"

"Ah, I can’t believe that after so many years of silence, someone still dares to challenge the God of War’s authority."

At that moment, countless beings across the Arcane Star Domain, sensing this aura, looked toward the direction of Divine Peak.

That was their pride, the sanctuary of countless warriors’ faith!

Meanwhile, top experts from nearby star domains also felt this familiar and chilling aura, their expressions darkening as they turned their gaze to Divine Peak.

The name God of War had long been an invisible mountain weighing on their hearts.

As long as Albert, the God of War, still existed, they dared not harbor any ill will toward the Arcane Star Domain.

The competition between star domains was brutal, and the survival of the fittest was the eternal theme.

But the Arcane Star Domain had maintained peace and stability for thousands of epochs, all thanks to one person—God of War Albert!

Albert had not truly fought in a long time, and now, some border star domains had begun to stir, even testing the waters with minor disturbances.

But now, this blatant display of God of War power was like a bucket of cold water splashed onto all those with ulterior motives, reminding them of the fear they had long forgotten!

Instantly, forces from various star domains retracted their claws and became unusually quiet.

In their hearts, this was a silent warning from the God of War!
