Chapter 291
Though the space did not exist in the material world, Leonard had no doubt about the meaning of the throne. He knew it wasn’t just a simple object—it was a medium, a device used to communicate directly with the laws of the world. It appeared as a chair simply because of the concept of sitting. Had it been “lying down,” a bed would have appeared instead.
This moment marked the final stage in determining whether one could ascend to the Divine Throne, regardless of whether they had broken through the Deification Tier.
Sitting on the chair did not automatically mean a breakthrough had been completed, but even so, attempting to ascend the Deification Tier while leaving the Divine Throne unoccupied would make it impossible to avoid complete annihilation. It was only possible to buy a few years of meaningless delay at most.
“I didn’t think of running away, but it seems there’s no choice,” Leonard muttered.
With a swift turn of his body, he sat down without hesitation. At that moment, something changed. The Divine Throne had never truly belonged to anyone in the past, but now it welcomed its one and only master for the first time.
The laws of the world immediately resonated. The resonation was so vast and intense that even a being above the Demigod Tier could feel it. Even conceptual martial arts and supreme magic, which could indirectly influence the laws, seemed insignificant to this monumental shift. Among the gods of the ancient era, the one most known for his vast influence was Odin, the king of the Aesir Gods, who were known to have been on par with the Olympians.
According to legend, Odin’s throne allowed him to see all the worlds, thanks to a divine artifact called Hlidskjalf.
―There exists a grand hall called Valaskjalf, and it belongs to Odin himself. The dwarves built this magnificent hall, raising its roof with pure silver. Within that hall lies a lofty throne known as Hlidskjalf. When the All-Father sits upon it, he can gaze upon all nine realms at once.
According to the old records, Hlidskjalf was perhaps the closest parallel to the Divine Throne. However, Hlidskjalf was limited to mere observation, whereas the Divine Throne stood on an entirely higher plane of existence.
...This isn’t something that can be tampered with even if I’m in the Deification Tier!
The flood of information bombarded Leonard’s mind, and he felt the veins in his eyes rupture. Had his body still been in its pre-breakthrough form, his upper dantian could have exploded from the pressure.
