Chapter 162 The History Of The Superpower God
As they advanced, Zephyrax and Fulminis exchanged glances before transforming into their human forms.
The two dragons shimmered and shifted, scales giving way to skin as their powerful frames morphed into muscular, imposing figures.
Zephyrax became a tall man with hair that resembled the vastness of the galaxy—black with specks of shimmering colors, like stars scattered across the night sky. His pitch-black eyes mirrored the depths of space itself.
Fulminis, on the other hand, transformed into a robust figure, his long, flowing purple hair crackling with lightning energy, matched by his intense purple eyes that glowed with power.
The trio moved cautiously through the wreckage, stepping over the charred remains of the battlefield.
The air was heavy with the stench of burnt feathers and scorched earth, an unsettling reminder of the violence that had taken place. They tread carefully, aware of the potential danger lurking within the shadows.
"Keep your senses sharp," Linsley instructed, leading the way with Fenrir at his side.
Yamata no Orochi swam gracefully through the air, ever-watchful, while Linsley, flanked by his two newly transformed companions, felt the mix of tension and urgency in the air.
As they ventured deeper into the Phoenix Continent, they stumbled upon a hollow where the remains of a once-magnificent nest lay in ruins. Feathers were strewn about, and the echoes of the past whispered through the air.
Linsley knelt, examining the remnants. "This was a significant location. If any Phoenixes survived, they might have fled here."
Fulminis's gaze hardened as he scanned the area. "We should have known the Phoenixes wouldn't go down without a fight. They're resilient creatures, even against overwhelming odds."
"Resilient, yes, but not invincible," Zephyrax interjected, his voice tinged with bitterness. "And whoever did this must be dealt with. We cannot allow such atrocities to go unanswered."
Hearing Zephyrax's words, Linsley nodded. "Well, I can't let whoever stole my chance to conquer the Phoenix Continent live."
Monster alliances were rare because only members of the same clan would band together, while other monster clans often couldn't set aside their own rivalries and grudges.
It was like expecting powerful prey to team up with a predator that had eaten its offspring—such prey would sooner unite with humans to destroy the predator than fight alongside it.
Humans, by contrast, had a distinct advantage: they could rally support from other humans across continents, providing them with a critical edge in unity.

This was why humanity hadn't faced extinction despite the raw power of the monster clans. Thanks to the Superpower God, the human race gained the ability to harness flux and defend themselves against monsters.
Without this divine intervention, humans would likely have remained a mere clan of evolved creatures, little more than "advanced monkeys" among other monsters.
As Linsley listened to the conversation between Fulminis and Zephyrax, he grew curious, sensing that they both knew something about achieving Level 9.9 Overlord status.
He asked, "Do either of you know how to become a Level 9.9 Overlord? If so, why haven't either of you made that leap?"
As a Level 9.8 Overlord himself, Linsley was aware of the path toward becoming Level 9.9.
The key was to shatter the "invisible barrier" that kept Level 9.8 Overlords from ascending further. Yet, despite its simplicity, breaking through was far from easy.
Even Linsley's powerful Lawless (Gold) talent couldn't break through this restriction, as the rule binding him was more potent than his power.
His Universal Key (Gold) talent was similarly ineffective, unable to unlock the conceptual "lock" barring him from Level 9.9
However, Linsley had discovered a workaround: if he could gather enough energy, he could use it to amplify his Universal Key (Gold) talent, potentially breaking the bottleneck of his Level 9.8 Overlord power.
Listening to Linsley's question, Zephyrax answered, "You should also know but the only method so far is to gather enough flux to break that bottleneck. As long as that can be done, becoming a Level 9.9 Overlord is almost guaranteed."
