Chapter 236: The Domineering Old Man, Get Out of Here

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A burly figure suddenly charged out of nowhere, and with a fist raised, he smashed the devastating palm strike into smithereens.

“What’s going on?”

The crowd let out exclamations of surprise. Then, a burly figure stood in front of Barham and blocked him from further attacks while gazing cheerfully at the old high priest on top of the pillar.

“Who’s he?”

“Is that Barham’s friend?”

“He actually dares to save him from the old high priest?”

“Isn’t he a little too bold…”

Alarm and doubts filled everyone. Barham, who had originally lost all hope, also stared at the burly man in astonishment. He swore to God that he definitely didn’t know that man.

“You’re… Bubbles the Black Bear King!”

The old high priest stared at the newcomer for a while before he suddenly exclaimed, “Never would I have thought that you’d actually still be alive! How fortunate and lucky you are to have survived!”

“Bubbles?”

“Who’s Bubbles?”

“Could it be that man?”

“Do you know of him?”

“It’s that audacious rapist! Who doesn’t know of his name?”

“What the heck! To think it’s actually him!”

“Isn’t he dead?”

“Who knows…”

“To think it’s actually Bubbles!”

The Thunder Titan Emperor’s eyes bore into Bubbles, his countenance awful-looking.

He might not know who they were, had it been someone else, but how could he possibly not know who Bubbles the Black Bear King was?

Because the Titan Emperor who had been cuckolded was exactly himself!

“Damn it! To think that knave is actually still alive!”

The Thunder Titan Emperor gnashed his teeth in a fury, wishing he could rip into Bubbles. He couldn’t understand why Bubbles, who had been sentenced to death, was actually still alive?

Moreover, judging from his mighty demeanor, he had actually become a half-deity, too. Was the Titan Spiritual God blind?

“Hahaha!” Bubbles burst into loud laughter as he said, “How rare of the old high priest to actually still remember who I am!”

“Bubbles, you renegade!”

The old high priest’s eyes were sharp and fierce. “Instead of holing up in a dim ditch somewhere and dragging out your existence, what have you come all the way here for? Surely you can’t possibly be thinking of taking revenge?”

“You’re mistaken, old high priest. I haven’t returned to the Divine Titan Temple today for the sake of those old grudges that took place back then.”

Bubbles gestured to Barham with a slight smile and said, “It’s a rare occasion for me to take a fancy to a junior who pleases my eyes. I hope the old high priest can spare his life on my account.”

“On your account? Who do you think you are?”

The old high priest snorted. “Abandoning oneself to wallow in degeneration and tarnishing the Titan bloodline—this is a disgrace to the Titans that can only be cleansed with his blood!”

“In that case, that means that the negotiation has broken down?” Bubbles’ smile vanished. Then, he said, “Let’s fight, then. It’s just as well that I take this opportunity to take a gander at your skills!”

“Hmph!”

The old high priest snorted. Then, as if an inflating balloon, he began to expand swiftly.

His dry, shriveled up skin became plump and supple, his skinny and withered body turned strong and muscular, and his head of white hair turned black.

In the blink of an eye, he had transformed from an old and weak invalid, whose teeth had all dropped off and with one foot in the grave, into a strong and muscular Titan who was very much alive and kicking.

Right on the heels of it, an incredibly wild, violent, and domineering aura erupted from the old high priest and swept in all directions. The spectators felt as if they had suffered a crushing blow and were almost flattened to the ground.

“Die!”

With a furious roar, the old high priest’s fist went smashing out.

Snap!

An enormous fist plummeted from the sky like a meteor and crashed toward Bubbles with a terrifying might capable of destroying everything.

Under such fearsome might, all the spectators felt as if their insides were close to rupturing, and they almost died from fright.

Should it crash into them, wouldn’t it totally smash them into a bloody pulp?

“Nice one!”

With a serious look on his face, demonic aura surged around Bubbles, and he hurled his fist forward, meeting the attack head-on.

Snap!

Fist and fist collided, much like meteors crashing into each other. Terrifying energy waves instantly erupted and spread into the surroundings amid thunderous explosions. As though they were floating in the sky, the spectators were immediately thrown right out.

Thud, thud, thud!

The impact also knocked Bubbles back, and he took a few steps back on the arena, crushing the incredibly tough and solid arena into bits.

“You’ve actually fallen, Bubbles!”

An incredibly furious roar rang out. The old high priest, who had risen into the air, glowered at Bubbles furiously, his eyes close to spitting flames.

“Have you only just realized, old high priest?” replied a grinning Bubbles as he forcibly suppressed his churning blood and energy flow.

“Bastard! This is unforgivable!”

The old high priest was livid. “You were a Child of God back then, yet you’ve actually shut your eyes to the Titan Spiritual God’s might and dignity to willingly wallow in degeneration! Damn it, you deserve to die for that!”

“H-he’s… fallen?”

“Bubbles has also fallen? But he’s the very last pure-blooded Dark Titan!”

“What exactly has happened to him?”

The spectators couldn’t quite accept the fact. They could accept Bubbles’ rebellion and the coup d’etat he had staged—after all, the Titans revered strength and power—but they couldn’t accept the falling of Titans! Titans were supposed to be noble, so how could they turn to the Devils?

“Die!”

The old high priest roared furiously into the sky. Then, he descended from above, his gigantic foot brazenly stomping down toward Bubbles.

“Good job coming here!”

With a low roar, the demonic aura emanating from Bubbles instantly withdrew back into his body, and his muscles bulged forcefully and significantly. Then, he threw out a punch and met the attack head-on.

Boom!

But this time, the old high priest’s stomp wasn’t just ten times wilder and more violent than before.

Bubbles’ fist was kicked aside, upon which the huge foot then went along the impetus and stomped down forcefully on his chest. With a crisp snap, Bubbles was sent flying.

Boom!

He crashed onto the floor as blood spurted furiously from his mouth. With a tragic smile, he remarked, “I didn’t expect that old fogey to be that strong. I’ve underestimated him!”

Just how strong was the old high priest, exactly?

That was something Bubbles didn’t know.

All he knew was that the old high priest was already the high priest in charge of managing the Divine Titan Temple even when he was little. Despite many years having gone by, the old high priest was still like what he had remembered him to be.

Bubbles had initially thought that with his current prowess, he’d at least be able to somewhat rival the old high priest. Little did he expect that he’d be defeated with just a single move. This was truly…

Those above him were still above him, after all!

“Degenerates like you that tarnish the Titan bloodline should all go straight to hell!”

The old high priest descended from above and stomped on Bubbles with one foot and Barham with the other. That terrifying might of his was like an elementary school student trying to kill a couple of toads by stomping on them.

“He’s doomed!”

“Nobody can save him anymore!”

“That renegade who has willingly given in to degeneration deserves to be killed!”

“Good job! People like that should be cut into a million pieces and subjected to extreme punishment!”

The spectators were incredibly pumped up at the sight. In particular, the Thunder Titan Emperor was so worked up that he even almost jumped off his seat. If one must pick someone among everyone present here that hoped to see Bubbles dead the most…

The honor would no doubt go to him!

Only with Bubbles’ death would the great disgrace to his father’s name end completely!

“Save me, Master!”

Bubbles let out a shrill cry as he watched the gigantic foot stomp down toward him like a mountain crashing down—he didn’t want to die here.

Whoosh!

A breeze blew across, and then someone appeared in front of Bubbles!

“Yet another person has popped up?”

“Who’s he?”

“Does he have a death wish?!”

“Does Bubbles have other accomplices?”

The spectators were rather astounded at the sight of the newcomer who had suddenly come charging out. Then, they began to sneer!

“They are just sending themselves to death’s door, no matter who the one that comes is. Is the old high priest’s strength something that they could even begin to fathom?”

Just as they thought that the newcomer was about to be stomped into a bloody pulp, he threw a punch and blasted the old high priest’s gigantic foot.

Thud, thud, thud!

The old high priest stared at the newcomer with astonishment as he stumbled backward. “What terrifying strength! To think he’s actually on par with me!”

“This, this…”

“He’s… He’s actually parried the blow?”

“How can that be?!”

The spectators were astonished. The Thunder Titan Emperor’s eyes also bore into the newcomer.

“Who are you?” asked the alarmed old high priest.

“Weren’t you just complimenting my good looks just now? Yet you don’t recognize me anymore now? I’m that evil deity reincarnate whom you guys were discussing!”

The newcomer was Meng Lei.

“Meng Lei!”

The Thunder Titan Emperor shuddered all over and almost went limp onto the floor. “The devil! It’s that devil! He’s actually come to the Titan Empire! Oh my god!”

“You’re that monster from the Dragon God Empire?”

The old high priest was rather astonished.

“Bingo!”

With his hands placed behind his back, a calm smile appeared on Meng Lei’s countenance.

The old high priest narrowed his eyes and barked fiercely, “To think it’s actually you! Instead of staying in the Dragon God Empire, what have you come to the Titan Empire for?”

“Since I’m here, then that naturally means that I have things to attend to here.”

Meng Lei rose into the air, his gaze sweeping across the Thunder Titan Emperor. He asked, “Titan Emperor, I heard that someone had offered a batch of Chimeras to you as a tribute recently. Is this true?”

The Thunder Titan Emperor was alarmed and fearful at Meng Lei’s question. Although he desperately wanted to maintain his dignity and stateliness as an emperor, one’s reputation didn’t come with no reason, after all.

He couldn’t maintain it at all when facing a devil, and evil deity reincarnate like Meng Lei, who had slain the Dragon Emperor and slaughtered the Dragon Island half-deities.

“I-indeed it is!” The Thunder Titan Emperor didn’t dare to keep things a secret from him. “Why are you asking about that?”

Meng Lei asked, “Who’s the one that offered the Chimeras as a tribute?”

“This…”

Hesitation appeared on the Thunder Titan Emperor’s countenance.

Meng Lei repeated, “Who was it?”

“It was I!”

A 300-feet-tall Earth Titan with bronze-colored skin stepped forward at this point. With a demeanor that was neither lowly nor haughty, he said, “It was I who offered a batch of Chimeras to His Majesty as a tribute yesterday. Why are you asking about that?”

“Since you’re the one, then that makes things a lot easier.” Meng Lei revealed a smile as he said, “Hand over the riches you looted from the Chimeras. That isn’t something you should have!”

“What do you mean by that, sir?” The Earth Titan’s countenance changed slightly as he asked, “What do you mean by the Chimeras’ riches? I don’t know anything about it!”

“You don’t? In that case, you don’t need to anymore.”

Meng Lei made a casual grabbing motion with a slight smile and easily caught the Earth Titan out of nowhere.

“Let go! Let go of me!”

The Earth Titan struggled fiercely as he shouted, “Save me, Your Majesty! Save me, high priest!”

“How impudent!”

The old high priest flew into a rage and threw a punch. “You audacious demon! This is the Titan Empire! It’s not a place where you can horse around!”

Meng Lei dodged the punch with a flash. He side-eyed the old high priest and asked calmly, “Old man, these are private matters between the two of us. Do you intend to interfere with this, too?”

“Hmph! Disregarding for now whether he’s really taken the Chimeras’ riches, so what even if he has? Do you think something that has already entered the Titan Empire’s pockets can be given away for free like that?”

The old high priest snorted. “Youngster, this is the Titan Empire, not the Dragon God Empire. It’s too early for you to be horsing around here!”

“Great! Awesome!”

Meng Lei clapped his hands and smiled. “This is the first time someone has acted so righteously despite having taken what belongs to me. I’m so gratified! Very much so!”

“Get out of the Titan Empire at once, youngster!”

The old high priest barked, “Otherwise, this is where your final resting place will be!”

“Is that so?”

Meng Lei couldn’t help but smile. He was just feeling troubled over being unable to find an excuse to let loose a moment ago. Since they were so cooperative, wouldn’t he be letting them down if he didn’t?
