BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59: Disappointing
In the Divine School, I couldn\'t do anything physical to him, but in the mortal world, we weren\'t under those rules.
Even if I hurt his divine consciousness so badly that his main body was injured, it wouldn\'t be my responsibility.
Especially considering that his rank is higher than mine, that gives me an even bigger excuse to use a level of power that he can\'t handle.
So I began to burn a large amount of divine power for this attack.
Knowing how expensive it was for him to replicate other gods\' attacks and abilities, I smiled as I used a total of 100,000 Divine Power points for this attack, something he should have had at least 1 million Divine Power points to defend against.
Considering that he had recently ascended to a Rank 9 Embryonic Deity, he should have almost no Divine Power left to defend himself.
In a few seconds, I was facing him.
Innovashine floated in front of me with a bored expression on his face while wearing a stupid outfit.Even though his eyes were glowing at a level I\'d never seen before, I didn\'t care as I stretched out my hand and sent a bolt of lightning towards him.
Grom Stonepeak, the mountain god I had defeated a few days ago, had mistaken my attack for the lightning itself, and had put up useless defenses to block it, unaware that the thunder was the real damage dealer.
Just as my uncle had suggested when he trained me, I had hidden this information from everyone during my school days.
Sure, the smartest ones could figure it out on their own, but most of the other students didn\'t bother to deeply analyze the divinity of the other students in the class, so few suspected my mastery.
Like Grom, I imagined that Innovashine would react to the lightning coming from my hand and try to defend himself in some way, but strangely, he just stood there?
Even if the power didn\'t come directly from the lightning, it wasn\'t wise of him to just attack directly, was it?
As the lightning approached him, Innovashine snapped his fingers, and I felt something come out of him.
The thing that came out of him made the lightning that I had sent at him much weaker, so much so that when the lightning touched him, no damage was done.
But even though this seemed very surprising, what shocked me even more was that I didn\'t hear anything anymore!
Not only could I not hear the animals in the forest below, I couldn\'t even hear the wind around us.
It was as if the world had become a completely silent place...
And what happened next shocked me even more.
After the lightning I had sent to Innovashine disappeared, it was time for the sound of my thunder to roar, dealing damage equal to 100k Divine Power attack points to Innovashine, but just as the sound of the rest of the world had disappeared, the sound of my thunder had disappeared as well!

I could feel the Divine Power disappearing from my body along with the attack, and I could feel from my divinity that this thunder was really trying to break free from whatever was happening now, but it was as if I was trapped in a bubble where no sound could work!
Realizing that something very wrong was happening, my heart began to race with worry.
With my Divine Power, I would even be able to hear these stronger beats of my heart in a normal situation, but not being able to hear even the surrounding wind showed how powerful this thing Innovashine had done was.
But I wouldn\'t give up.
Knowing that Innovashine had done something to the sound around us, as long as I used more Divine Power than he did, I could break through this barrier.
Then I felt my Divine Power reserves.
Even though I had used 100,000 Divine Power points for the last attack, I still had 400,000 Divine Power points left for this attack.
When I saw the arrogant smile on his face, I knew that I had to go all out on this attack to wipe that smile off his face and show who the real best god in our school is.
So I began to accumulate Divine Power in my hand.
Innovashine just stood there and watched me charge my attack, practically mocking me as he waited for me to accumulate my Divine Power in the attack.
He would regret this, he would completely regret this!
The attack I had built up had a potency of 350,000 Divine Power points, which meant that Innovashine would have to spend at least 3 million Divine Power points to defend himself, a number I highly doubted he had.
So I just smiled as I reached forward and let the beam fly at him first.
This current beam was 3.5 times more powerful than the previous attack, so much so that I was waiting to see his expression change to shock and despair after feeling it.
Especially since now I could even hear the sound of the lightning crackling as it flew, indicating that my thunder would be coming soon!
But it didn\'t...
Just like last time, he just snapped his fingers and the world went back to complete silence...
Seeing it happen just like last time gave me a bad feeling...
And the smile on his face was the biggest clue!
I was still hoping that my attack with 350k Divine Power Points of potency could withstand this silence and make the beautiful sound of thunder roar again, but nothing came of it...
The world just fell silent, and my thunder roared like someone with their mouth covered trying to scream... you could hear a slight murmur in the background, but nothing that could affect the rest of the world in any way...
Now I was truly desperate.
I only had 50k Divine Power Points left, and I knew there was nothing I could do to defend myself...
Just as I realized this, Innovashine also realized this fact and was about to say something to humiliate me.
I knew that and I didn\'t want to hear it!
So, without thinking twice, I used my main body to control my divine consciousness so that it would quickly return to the divine world.
Returning to the divine world this way would mean that I would have to return to the mortal world through my realm, which would be a bit of a hassle, but thinking of the frustration Innovashine would feel at not being able to say anything humiliating to me... this was satisfaction.
Somehow he managed to deal with my attack, and I had to find a way to deal with it.
=== Adrian\'s POV ===
Seeing Zack\'s divine consciousness disappear before my eyes shocked me.
Did he really just give up after a fight like that?
I had only spent about 700k Divine Power Points to defend myself and humiliate him, but he couldn\'t resist and ran away with his tail between his legs?
How pathetic...
I thought Zack might be an interesting fight, something that would make my blood boil like the fight against Zane, the God of Fear, but this was very... disappointing.
Fortunately, I looked in the direction he came from and knew what was there.
Valoria, a kingdom the size of Novera, with vegetation that made life in society very difficult for the people who lived there, but which could now become a great source of divine power for me, since the god there had been eliminated by Zack!
I even wanted to keep Zack here and humiliate him a bit to get revenge for old Adrian, but I still couldn\'t trap his divine consciousness here.
If I were an elemental god, I might have been able to do that, but since I was only two small ranks above Zack, it was difficult to try to do something that would force him like that.
But with Arcantor, Eldoria, Novera, and Valoria giving me divine power, it would only be a matter of days before I became an elemental god.
And when I reached that rank, I would be practically invincible in the mortal world, dealing with embryonic gods like the other disciples...
At this thought, a huge smile appeared on my face.
\'You may have run away now, Zack Gale, but don\'t worry, I\'m coming after you and your kingdom...\' I thought as I began to plan my strategy to control Valoria.
