Overgeared

Grid wasn’t surprised when he saw the way the grandmaster treated Pungsa. Rather than questioning it, he thought it was natural. It was because the grandmaster loathed the existence of a god itself. It would be funny if he was polite to a god. However...

“I greet the god.”

The grandmaster’s attitude when meeting Chiyou was undeniably polite. His greeting was respectful and he bowed deeply and solemnly without anyone making him do it. It was a completely different attitude from when he dealt with others. Chiyou—the most powerful god of the east and the one who educated the yangbans. The grandmaster was afraid of his power?

Grid thought about it but soon realized this wasn’t the case.

‘...It is different. Completely different.’

Rebecca, the goddess of light; Hexetia, the god of blacksmiths; Zeratul, the god of war; and Pungsa, the god of wind. So far, Grid had faced quite a few gods. He felt kindness and complicated emotions toward Rebecca, sympathy toward Hexetia, and fear and disgust toward Zeratul and Pungsa.

However, Chiyou was too vague. This person wasn’t a subject of sentimentality or emotions. He couldn’t judge Chiyou at all.

“It is nice to meet you.”

Chiyou’s gaze shifted from the grandmaster to him and Grid’s body became stiff. It was a shock similar to when he first met Mercedes.

[The martial god of the east, Chiyou, is contemplating you.]

[All information about your level, combat related stats, and combat related skills will be disclosed to Chiyou.]

[100% of your weaknesses are exposed to Chiyou.]

[When attacking, hit rate will decrease by 80% and when attacked, you will receive three times more damage.]

[The transcendent status you have accumulated is still weak and it is being suppressed.]

[All the stats and skills generated by your transcendent status are sealed.]

It was different from Keen Insight. Mercedes’ Keen Insight was the power to see through ‘everything’ while Chiyou’s gaze was the power to see through the target’s ‘combat power.’ Keen Insight was in the growth stage and could only see a few things while Chiyou’s gaze was fully developed and completely overwhelmed Grid. In the present time, Chiyou’s gaze was much stronger and superior than Keen Insight.

However, there was an important fact here. The reason Grid shivered wasn’t because he was overwhelmed by Chiyou’s gaze. To Grid, Chiyou’s existence itself was enormous. He seemed to know why the grandmaster bowed his head.

‘This is a real god.’

Hexetia and Zeratul were made by Rebecca, while Pungsa was created by Hanul. On the other hand, Chiyou was born naturally from the desires of humans. It was no wonder why there was a difference. How did it feel when seeing Rebecca, the goddess of light and one of the absolute gods? Grid had been thrilled just by seeing Rebecca’s ‘image’ that descended to the ground. He was already curious and expectant about what he would feel when meeting Rebecca. Additionally, he became nervous about how terrifying Hanul would be.
