<h4>Chapter 2139 Against a God</h4>


    "Give up my freedom?" Vico clenched his fists when he heard Minos'' bold words. "You''re quite brave, aren''t you? Well, I want to see what gives you confidence!"


    "Are you really going to do that?" Maximilian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Vico strangely, not expecting such behavior from such a person. "A God should not risk his freedom unless he does it with another God..."


    "Tsk! This brat has no chance of defeating me. So I''ll put him in his ce. What difference does it make if my freedom is at stake? He doesn''t have the slightest chance to force me to use one of my techniques." Vico confidently said while he looked at Minos.


    Minos just smiled when he heard these words and saw that he had gotten into Vico''s head.


    Henry shook his head negatively as he looked at them. He asked Minos. "Do you really want to go through with this? Vico can''t force you to do anything. As long as you ignore him, we''ll be able to continue our ns without having to worry about him."


    Maximilian didn''t know about their ns, but he advised Minos. "If you fight, you''ll lose. Carefully think before you proceed with this offense against a God."


    Minos thanked them both and said. "Thank you for your concern. But I''m looking forward to His Majesty Travisani giving me some pointers."


    Vicoughed mischievously. "Good! Very good! I didn''t think you''d be so brave, but since you are, I''ll teach you the difference between a God and a Demigod, Minos."


    "Enlighten me," Minos said as he showed the way as they ascended to the top and left this headquarters.


    Maximilian and Henry looked at each other and quickly agreed on what to do.


    The two joined forces and quickly began creating a temporary Spatial Kingdom for the battle.


    Gods didn''t usually fight. That was a truth that almost everyone knew. But that didn''t mean that Gods didn''t have friendly matches. After all, once a cultivator reached their peak, they were unlikely to stop using their power.


    It would be asking too much for a cultivator at their peak not to use their powers during the best part of their journey!


    Therefore, Gods fought and trained with high-level Demigods. But when they did so, they did so in temporary Spatial Kingdoms, regions of space that they created to hold only a series of battles so as not to damage the world.


    Since Minos was not a God, Henry and Maximillian took on the task and quickly set up arge space for the challenge.


    Vico sensed that everything was ready and said. "You have until your exhaustion to force me to use one of my techniques. If you cannot do so before you are exhausted, the fight will be over, and I will be the winner."


    "Okay!" Minos said, already circting his energies throughout his being. At the same time, a huge seal appeared near him, and one of his hands was already prepared to bring the Divine Sword into the world.


    Minos was no fool and had prepared people to serve as his ''batteries.'' As soon as Vico''s voice stopped, Henry and the other two saw a level 91 beast appear at that spot, summoned by Emperor Stuart because of the seal on its body.


    "Minos!" The beast shouted as it sensed its surroundings, not expecting to be summoned by him so suddenly.


    As Starw sensed the Gods around her, her cultivation decreased while Minos'' power increased to level 93.


    "He''s swift," Maximilianmented to Henry when he saw the Divine Sword show itself to the world.


    "Gods'' yer, huh?'' Henryughed, wondering what the creator of the techniques behind this supreme weapon had in mind.


    Vico also felt the power of the Divine Sword and saw the bold inscriptions on the shining de of this spiritual weapon.


    "Your Majesty, prepare, I''ming!" Minos announced as he moved with his Soul Avatar fully active, gathering so much spiritual energy around him that he now looked very much like a level 99 Demigod.


    Considering his physical strength and the special characteristics from everything he had done so far, Minos demonstrated phenomenal fighting ability in his first move, surprising the three Gods.


    Starw watched with wide eyes and open mouth as Minos appeared behind Vico, already using the third move of his supreme weapon, not taking it lightly.


    A God was much stronger than a level 99 Demigod, so he didn''t need to be careful. Minos didn''t know what this attack could do to a level 99, but it was certain that it would pose no risk to Vico.


    "Hold that!" He said as he shed at Vico''s body with his weapon. Several simr weapons appeared around Vico, attacking him from different directions. Vico only moved his arms to move and let Minos'' attacks reach him without any problems.


    But when the first des hit him, his expression changed as he felt that for every de that hit him, two new ones appeared in the surrounding area with even more force than the previous one.


    "Oh?" He didn''t want to stand still and moved, using only his ''normal'' features to dodge Minos'' attacks, which became stronger and more numerous as the movement continued.


    That was the third movement of the Divine Sword, a movement consisting of 10 attacks that would double in number and intensity with each new attack.


    On the very third attack of this move, Minos showed just how fierce this move was, making Vico fly around the area, demonstrating increasingly higher abilities.


    This move didn''t need its attacks to be destroyed to produce the effect Vico felt at the beginning of the fight. Even if the blows missed the target, new attacks would appear, and the previous and subsequent attacks would continue to pursue the target.


    More and more des flew in space, making the observers more and more impressed by the abilities of a mere level 91 Demigod.


    "Minos is truly an incredible warrior," Henrymented to the leader of the Spiritual Church.


    Meanwhile, Maximilian looked at Vico and saw that this guy wouldn''t stay in his position for long. ''When are you going to attack him, Vico? Are you waiting for him to show everything he has so you can defeat him with a single blow?''


    Maximilian had understood Minos and Vico''s wager perfectly. The bet didn''t limit Vico''s movements, let alone forbid such a God to attack Emperor Stuart!


    As long as Vico didn''t use his techniques, he could do whatever he wanted in the fight, including attacking Minos and knocking him out!


    For this reason alone, Maximilian felt that Vico was only ying with Minos.


    And this was exactly what the God of the Eastern Empire had in mind.


    ''Show me more of what you''ve got, Minos. I''ll defeat you in a single attack.'' Vico thought with a neutral expression on his face, using more and more of his energy to fend off his opponent''s numerous attacks.
