Chapter 47: My Son Has the Talent to Become a God!

Raphael, standing very far away and secretly observing, suddenly started, a drop of sweat flowing down his forehead. That fleeting moment just now completely overturned his understanding.

“How is this possible? He hasn’t reached level ten, how can he use a skill?”

He muttered, his whole body stiff, his brain seeming to rewind to the past when he read ancient texts for fun. For tens of thousands of years, there has never been any record of a similar phenomenon.

Every educated person on this continent knows that upon reaching level ten and successfully absorbing an energy monster can one unlock their first skill.

Moreover, Michael’s situation is even stranger. His physique is good, but he has never cultivated energy, so theoretically he should be at level zero. Without energy, what is he using to activate a skill?

The more Raphael thought, the more he felt the secret these two kids were hiding from him was even more earth-shattering. He tried to recall even older stories, ones not even related to humans.

He had read countless books in this lifetime, couldn’t remember how many. But none of them contained anything related except for one unclear story from antiquity.

That story said that a god could create their own domain. Within that domain, the god is the existence that controls everything. Although what Michael displayed in that instant was nothing like that kind of invincibility, Raphael was about eighty percent sure it was the real deal. It might be because Michael’s strength was too weak, so the divine power became this kind of trash version.

The more he thought, the more rapid his breathing became. If it was true, what did this mean? He didn’t want to oppose The Great Sun Temple because he knew their formidable strength, but what if he had two gods helping him?

One god, Raphael felt, would at least be enough to match ten top-tier demigods, and his team had two of them. Adding Gabriel and his motley crew, that would be enough to form a massive force. By then, even if The Great Sun Temple wasn’t destroyed, it would suffer heavy losses.

“My son has the talent to become a god!”

Raphael muttered, his mustache trembling, a rarely seen infinite arrogance flashing in his pupils. His son is a god, a legend that has been missing for tens of thousands of years.

But he hurriedly shook his head, now was not the time for him to go pick a fight with The Great Sun Temple. The possibility of these two kids becoming gods wasn’t necessarily one hundred percent, but it was at least feasible. As long as they don’t possess actual divine power, it doesn’t mean much.

If one day Leo becomes a god, then Raphael would consider his promise to Astrid fulfilled. After all, he couldn’t think of anyone with the ability to kill a god. A demigod single-mindedly wanting to escape without any burdens was already extremely hard to kill, let alone a god wanting to flee.

“I have to strive to become stronger too, otherwise when the time comes, I might just hold them back, how embarrassing. These two kids keep hiding things like this, they must be smart enough not to reveal their own talents, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. In the future, when they leave this place, I’ll just secretly follow to protect them.”

Having gotten the answer he desired, Raphael didn’t linger here any longer. Now he also needed to become stronger. In this entire wilderness, he couldn’t think of any existence capable of harming these two kids.

Leo saw Michael collapse foaming at the mouth and was completely dumbfounded. He immediately grabbed Michael’s shoulders and shook him violently, shaking hard enough to give him a brain concussion.

“Hey, wake up. Why did you pass out from using domain expansion? Didn’t you say you had experience?”

From his perspective, Michael wasn’t injured but had some technical error somewhere, so he used force to shake him like that.

“Huh, ah… so… so many…”

Michael deliriously spoke nonsense, his eyes incredibly ’spirited’ like someone with Down syndrome. Of course, Leo didn’t go easy because of that, he shook even harder, shaking until Michael’s shoulder joint dislocated.

“Get up fast! Or I’ll slap you.”

Leo knew Michael’s vitality was extremely good, so he wouldn’t make an empty threat. He continuously slapped Michael’s face until his cheek swelled up. After slapping until his hand was tired, Michael’s eyes gradually returned to normal.

“You bastard! Why did you hit me?”

Michael yelled, punching Leo straight in the face. The hairy face hitting his fist felt a bit different than usual, as if the damage to Leo was partially absorbed by the hair.

“You dare ask? You said you’d show me your domain, so why did you suddenly pass out and even babble random numbers like an idiot.”

Hearing about the numbers, Michael clutched his head, his face scrunched up, ugly to look at. In the world of consciousness, it clearly didn’t feel this uncomfortable.

’System, why do I have such a bad headache? I can’t remember what happened just now.’

[In the world of consciousness, you were borrowing the power of the Cook God, meaning your state at that time was the sensation of a real strong god.]

[You are currently too weak. Your brain’s computational power is not enough.]

[The domain allows you to ’see’ everything inside it, no wall or disguise can hide. The only limitation is you cannot see inside living creatures’ bodies to find weaknesses.]

[That sudden massive amount of data, while not like solving complex problems, is an extremely large number of simple problems.]

Michael felt this was a bit similar to… graphics quality in a game. Overly detailed graphics are hard for the CPU to process, so it needs a GPU to help. But his brain doesn’t have any GPU!

’System, do you sell things like GPUs for brains? Or is there a way to improve the brain? I’m not like Cook God, how can I handle observing a bunch of details at once.’

[I do not have the function to sell items or assist in brain improvement. But this time, I can help you find a feasible solution.]

’That’s great. Help me quickly then.’

Michael said happily, as long as there’s a way, it’s good. He didn’t want an overpowered skill like domain expansion to be locked away forever.
