Chapter 2640: Majestic
Zeus’s mind was still trapped in the shock of the revelation, and the distraction cost him dearly as Julian capitalized on the situation without mercy.
It was a storm of relentless precision and brutal force as Julian launched strike after strike at the faltering Zeus. Sword and shield danced in a deadly rhythm, battering down the thunder god’s defenses. Each swing was deliberate, and Julian had no intention of giving his opponent a chance to recover.
From the VIP balcony, Jinkan raised an eyebrow and leaned toward the Grand Overseer seated beside her. "Could the Emperor have truly granted such a technique to him?" she asked, her tone laced with disbelief.
The Grand Overseer chuckled softly, eyes gleaming with amusement. "Of course not. Not personally, at least." He paused, then revealed what he had heard from his old friend Marius, who had become a staunch supporter of Julian. "It wasn’t a direct gift from the Emperor, but rather a privilege granted by the Papal Church. He was allowed to choose one sacred ability from the Emperor’s treasury. And of all the treasures available, he chose that one."
The overseer’s lips curled in satisfaction. "No wonder Marius supports him. That young man isn’t just cunning—he’s ruthless."
Down in the arena, Zeus finally shook free from his daze. He was breathing hard, bruises and wounds dotting his divine body. His voice trembled with fury as he snarled at Julian, "You vile worm... using such trick to confuse me... Huh... No more... Yes!! I only need to kill you!!. Then the technique will be ours again!"
Julian blocked Zeus’s counterattack while giving a cold smile. "Haha... If you think that was my only plan, then you’re not as clever as I thought."
With that, Julian soared into the air. The four golden wings on his back unfurled with blinding radiance, an aura of sacred brilliance engulfing him from head to toe, casting a majestic glow over the arena.
A hush swept through the crowd as Julian raised his sword high.
Then came his voice—firm, resounding, absolute.
"I am Julian Kaesar, the God-chosen Heavenly Ruler! By the power granted to me by the Papal Church and the Nephilim gods themselves, I bring divine judgment to Kronos!"
The words rolled across the arena like thunder.
