178: I haven't done my best yet

Zeus and his two older brothers were actually completely different!

His true form was closer to that of a Titan, but after seizing the throne and acquiring immense Divine Power, he gained the ability to control lightning and transform at will.

Of course, his transformations weren't without limits; for instance, the image he usually presented to everyone was that of a young man of average height, but in reality, just like the Bull Demon King changing his Dharmakaya, maintaining this appearance actually consumed mana.

Conversely, reverting to his original Titan form no longer required mana, and this was akin to a release of power!

The uniquely advantageous environment forged Zeus's immense power, and all the mana that could have been called magic was used by him to temper his body; in his view, all other external things were illusory, and what people could rely on was only their own bodies.

Therefore, his physical strength was extraordinarily powerful.

In Tang Ku's vision, his body data actually looked quite ordinary; in fact, judging solely from the data, none of his body data exceeded 30 points, and even his strongest defense barely reached 30!

Intellect 27, Strength 29.9, Skill 28, Agility 29.9, Speed 29.9, Defense 30—these were the basic body statistics of Zeus.

However, all of his data displayed an intriguing golden color, just like Tang Ku's previous body data.

What did golden mean?

For example, if 30 points of strength in a normal white color could defeat ten ordinary Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, then 30 points of strength in a golden color could kill a person with 30 points of strength in a white color with just one finger.

This was equivalent to a difference in the “density” of power; everyone knows which is heavier: the same volume of cotton or the same volume of iron.

The data itself represented quantity, while the color was equivalent to quality!

Therefore, Zeus could contend with the Bull Demon King exerting his full strength just by relying on his power, and he could even easily solo the Bull Demon King, Nezha, and Shi Jingmo.

However, even such a powerful Zeus now dared not move.

Because on his left shoulder stood a small figure in a moon-white monk's robe, and that small figure spoke threatening words in a very ordinary tone, yet their deterrent power made even him feel afraid!

“Let go now, and I'll leave you a complete corpse...”

The Titan old man almost instinctively released his hand, and Shi Jingmo had already fainted, his body involuntarily falling downwards; fortunately, Nezha was quick-witted and grabbed him, hoisting him onto his shoulder.

“...Where are my children?”

Zeus turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

“Oh, you mean those Trash of yours? Hmm, of course, I sent them to the Netherworld... Oh, perhaps their souls won't undergo Reincarnation in this world; maybe they've become wandering ghosts!”

Tang Ku's expression was calm, as if he were recounting the most ordinary of events.

“Impossible... Your strength isn't strong, so why do you give me a feeling of...”

Zeus didn't know how to describe it, but Tang Ku smiled slightly: “Give you a feeling of what? A feeling of impending threat?”

Zeus was startled, then actually nodded and said, “Exactly, that's the feeling... You... you've been hiding your strength all this time? Why?”

Tang Ku rolled his eyes: “I was hiding nothing, it was just accumulating and then bursting forth, suddenly having an Epiphany...”

He would never tell the other party about having the System; wasn't there a concept of Epiphany in Buddhism? He could just attribute it all to that.

“I see, is it a unique way of comprehending the Dao for Buddhist monks? It truly has some depth!”

Zeus murmured to himself.

Tang Ku couldn't help but inwardly chuckle: “This guy actually believed it...”

Actually, he couldn't help but believe it, after all, Tang Ku's previous strength didn't seem faked.

After the Kryptonian genes entered his body, Tang Ku immediately felt incredibly powerful, truly!

His physical attributes were six times stronger than his original data, making his data appear in a peculiar state of golden with translucence, like golden crystal, which indicated that his physical data had advanced another step in quality.

To be honest, these Greek gods opposite him now seemed even worse than ordinary foot soldiers.

No matter what moves or spells they used, they basically had no secrets in front of Tang Ku; with just the Kryptonian's speed and powerful physical attributes, he could unilaterally crush them.

Apollo, Hermes, Ares, and all the other gods basically couldn't even see his shadow before being struck down—a broken neck or a punched-through chest—and in an instant, Tang Ku took them down one by one. Of course, among them, the two strongest were Apollo, the Sun God who had been commanding them, who could borrow a portion of the sun's power and endured two punches before Tang Ku killed him in the final moment.

And the other, his body's recovery ability was astonishingly powerful; it took Tang Ku three punches to succeed... Of course, he later learned through Apollo's cry of alarm that this guy was named Prometheus.

After taking down all these Greek gods, Tang Ku casually glanced at his data; well, after killing so many powerhouses and taking quite a few hits, he only gained 1 point.

“Alright, this is within expectations; after all, as the quality of my body data gets higher and higher, it will become increasingly difficult to gain Iron Fist Points in the future...”

Suddenly, he cast his gaze towards Zeus; he had already seen this guy's power just now, and he had to admit, it was very promising!

Seeing Shi Jingmo in danger, Tang Ku no longer hesitated, but went directly to this guy's shoulder and threatened him.

Speaking of which, after his power became stronger, his confidence also grew, and the effect of that one sentence was surprisingly good.

Zeus felt a slight panic in his heart, but he quickly composed himself, suddenly shook his shoulder, and swung his right fist at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, directly towards Tang Ku's body.

The shadow formed by that huge fist was enough to engulf Tang Ku, but this punch didn't even graze him.

The gust of wind swept past, disheveling the hair by Zeus's ear; he suddenly became aware but found that he couldn't detect the opponent's trace at all. Immediately after, a huge bang came from his abdomen, and an unprecedented sense of pain instantly transmitted through his nerves to his brain. Zeus couldn't help but let out an angry roar, rapidly retreating. Only then did he have time to look down, only to see that a large section of his chest was already caved in, and his sternum seemed to be presented in a bizarre distortion.

“What powerful strength! Purely in terms of strength, he's actually on par with me... No, his strength is greater than mine; in terms of explosive power alone, I'm inferior to him!”

Zeus's expression was horrified, and powerful Divine Power continuously repaired the damage to his body. Actually, calling it a huge pit was based on his enormous body; if it were scaled down proportionally, it would be like an Immortal Master being poked with a finger, creating such an indentation.

Tang Ku appeared before him, his bald head gleaming. He chuckled, “Your defense is truly powerful; you can actually withstand a punch from me with thirty percent of my strength!”

Zeus instantly became dumbfounded: “Thirty... thirty percent of your strength, only thirty percent of your strength?”
