Overgeared

Chapter 2046

‘Is that possible?’

Raphael abandoned his prejudices. He evaluated Grid without taking into account that Grid had a human origin. He obediently acknowledged the being known as the Only One God and pledged to regard him in the same way as Rebecca.

...If he hadn’t admitted this and continued to remain prideful, he would’ve been killed right away.

Nevertheless—

‘Grid might’ve surpassed the Goddess, but that’s impossible.’

Raphael couldn’t admit that Grid had transcended the Goddess.

The Goddess was the creator of this world. She was the one and only supreme being. It was fundamentally impossible for a being greater than her to be born. This was the providence of the world. How could the creator be inferior to others?

But the Refractive Dragon existed, a transparent being who was covered in mirror-like scales. It was as if the universe had created him to kill the Goddess. All of his features countered her. However, he couldn’t hurt the Goddess. All he could do was chase her.

More than anything else...

‘Even Chiyou spent over nine hours crossing this path.’

Yes, the great Martial God Chiyou was also below the Goddess. At least in terms of the total amount of magic power and divinity, the Goddess was overwhelmingly superior to Chiyou.

A long time ago, Raphael witnessed Chiyou cross this path with his own eyes. This meant that Chiyou was one of the five people who were aware of the existence of this path. This was just useless information because Asgard rejected Chiyou.

Grid just took his fourth step. The impact was huge. The path of light was unable to bear the weight of Grid’s footsteps and roared vociferously.

“No, why...?”

It was an incomprehensible phenomenon. Raphael became even more confused. Nothing made sense anymore. He witnessed the scene in front of him with his own eyes but he still wasn’t convinced.

Rumble...!!

The more Grid moved forward, the stronger the turbulence of the path became. The shaking came from the resistance that occurred every time the minerals growing along the path suppressed Grid’s magic power and divinity. The light that formed the path refracted again and again, swallowing and then spitting out Grid’s appearance.

‘Shit.’

Grid was sweating heavily. He had to squeeze every muscle in his body in order to barely take a step. He also had to bend slightly forward to lower his feet. It was hundreds of times harder than walking in water.

Grid remembered the days when he used to walk around construction sites with no physical strength. Right now, he was dizzier than when he used to spend time climbing with bricks on his back. He quickly became exhausted, both physically and mentally, even though he wasn’t performing any hard labor. He almost wanted to hit Raphael, who was talking behind him.

‘This guy is crazy.’

Grid’s jaw twitched as he gritted his teeth and squeezed out all his strength. All his teeth would’ve shattered if he had an actual human body. However, Grid’s body was resilient. He endured the pressure and kept moving.

Grid’s tenacity allowed him to make the tenth step. Just then, light surged forward like a tidal wave. Beyond the wave, tens of thousands of ores of various sizes and shapes were embedded in the bare ground of the path like landscape stones. All of them were convulsing as if they were going to jump out.

Raphael was looking at the situation contemplatively.
