197: Chapter 21 Instant Retribution

At this point in the battle's progression.

It could be said that it was already over.

The leader of the Celestial Race side had been thrashed like a grandson.

Their forty strongest members were also dead.

What else was there left to fight?

Lu Chen looked at the young man within his own ranks.

and spoke,

"You there, come here."

The young man was somewhat surprised.

But he still stepped forward without hesitation and said,

"Yes, Your Highness."

Although he addressed him as Your Highness,

there wasn't much respect in his tone.

Lu Chen smiled.

"You are the true leader of the Origin Generation, am I right?"

This time,

not only did that person's face show surprise,

but even Sheng Luoni, Luo Lin, Ava, and the other Prodigies were also astonished.

What was he saying?

Wasn't Bradak the leader of their Origin Generation?

Bradak also walked over.

He was practically about to explode.

But after witnessing Lu Chen's terrifying strength, he didn't dare make a move.

The young man gave a slight smile.

and said,

"Then may I ask, how did you know?"

When everyone saw that the young man didn't refute this claim in front of everyone,

they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Even Bradak's eyes went wide.

How dare this person so shamelessly claim the position that was rightfully his?

Lu Chen smiled.

"Your eyes. The way you look at them isn't like looking at a leader, but rather like looking at your subjects. What's your name?"

The young man laughed heartily.

"Truly worthy of being a young Dominator. Please forgive my previous neglect. I am Chayak Astralis, leader of the Origin Generation. A pleasure to meet you."

Bradak's eyes snapped wide open.

Bradak had always known.

that within the Astralis Family,

there existed a more powerful Genius.

But he had never been able to discover who it was.

Although everyone knew he, Bradak, was the number one of the younger generation,

he himself knew he was not.

He was merely the performer pushed to the forefront.

The true leader was someone else.

Today, he had finally met that person.

"So it's Chayak,"

he thought to himself.

"Born a few months earlier than me, but from the day of his birth, all information about him was concealed."

Unable to contain his curiosity, Lu Chen asked,

"You only sent a Clone. Aren't you afraid of losing it?"

Chayak gave a faint smile.

Looking at the opposing Celestial Race, he said,

"They are not worthy of costing me this Clone."

"Quite confident,"

Lu Chen muttered inwardly.

Then he asked again,

"Why do you all hide like this? Even that rat from the Celestial Race."

Chayak looked at him in surprise.

"You saw through him too?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Do I look that much like Herakan? How could I not see through his little tricks?"

Those around them who heard these words,

couldn't help but laugh.

Although a strong curiosity made them want to speak up,

and ask who that person was,

no one did.

Just as Chayak was about to speak and introduce that person,

a figure from among the Celestial Race suddenly stepped forward.

"Chayak, no need to trouble yourself. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Kaks Itzamna, leader of the Celestial Race's Golden Generation."

This time, it was the Celestial Race members' turn to be greatly shocked.

All along,

they had believed Herakan was the young leader.

What in the world was going on?

Lu Chen said,

"Alright, I don't care if you're playing mysterious games, whether it's real or fake. Right now, I only ask you one thing: are you going to fight or not?"

Upon hearing this,

Kaks merely gave a cold smile.

Then he turned and left.

Leaving behind only a single sentence:

"The battle is over. This time, you humans have won. But don't celebrate too soon. In the next battle, I will crush you ants."

Chayak's tone was placid as still water as he said,

"With just you?"

Kaks did not look back.

He merely waved a hand dismissively behind his back.

and said in a cold voice,

"When the time comes, facts will prove everything."

After that,

everyone prepared to return to their respective camps.

Today, they had witnessed something extraordinary,

and glimpsed a very bizarre secret.

But suddenly, one of Lu Chen's Clones vanished.

When it reappeared,

it was already in front of Kaks.

It threw a punch directly at him.

When Kaks saw the opponent's fist slowly coming towards him,

a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He shook his head with a regretful expression.

"You lowly human, truly refusing to yield until you see the coffin. You don't understand the vastness of the Universe. Let me show you the difference between a Heavenly God and an ant."

Then he slowly raised his hand.

and blocked Lu Chen's fist.

Boom.

It was like the end of the world.

Fist and palm collided.

Until the very moment before the impact,

a confident smile still hung on Kaks's face.

But the instant the opposing fist struck his palm,

his expression changed instantly.

His features twisted in extreme pain.

He pushed with all his might through his palm,

trying to counteract the force surging from the other side.

But it was futile.

He was sent flying like a cannonball.

Bouncing dozens of times on the ground,

before finally coming to a stop.

By then, he had become a bloody mess.

It seemed as if every pore on his body was bleeding.

This was also a Clone.

But just like a real body,

it could feel pain just as clearly.
