Strongest!; Having higher statuses than anyone else existing in the world and registered in the system. Effects: None.
Shun was slowly walking along the road, checking his statuses and effects in his mind. Each status gave a considerable power increase, but what he didn't understand was whether these statuses were added to the numbers currently appearing in his mind. If the stats were this high without any additions, and the effects of titles only manifested in combat, it pointed to an enormous number. For example, the current power level is 8,597,293, so if we add the total 50% increase from titles, the total power will reach 12,895,939! What a ridiculously high power level!
Along the way, he learned that the normal power level of people in this world could be around 60 at most, and those with natural abilities could reach around 2,000 at most. Of course, you could increase this amount through training, skills, or other means, but there was a limit to how much you could increase it. The highest power level humanity had ever reached was 56,000, achieved by the founder of the empire, and no one had surpassed that number since! So, compared to that, his own power level couldn't even be compared! It was like comparing a mountain to a tiny pebble! What a ridiculous situation!
He thought to himself for a while, 'Am I not even human?' My father said there was something immortal about me, but could the difference really be that big? If different races could be this powerful, there's no way humans could dominate this world! Even though humans have an insurmountable numerical advantage, the number of skilled people isn't that large, and most armies or guards are only slightly stronger than average humans. Therefore, if someone with 100,000 units of power were to enter an army alone, they could easily wipe out the entire human army! As for my power…' Shun didn't want to think about it at this point. Because no matter how much he thought, he knew his power would only yield one result: 'I am invincible in existence!'
After all, power wasn't the only thing he possessed. His energy levels, speed, and endurance all exceeded millions. At this point, the only thing he could think of was that God had made a mistake and given him all his power, otherwise, he couldn't possibly be this powerful!
He couldn't help but laugh bitterly as he remembered what his father had said before they came here. 'What do you mean, travel the world to strengthen yourself? I'm already invincible in this world, how much stronger could I possibly become? Do you want me to become a god? Though, at that point, I think even the gods would consider me a difficult target...'
Shun was at a loss for what to do. Should he travel the world? But why? Or was there anything else he could do?
'Ah, forget it! Let's just go to this kingdom for now, then I'll see what I want to do! There's no need to think so much, I can do whatever I want anyway.' With these thoughts, he slowly continued walking behind the elves.
After another half hour, still seeing nothing, Shun was getting impatient and asked, "Brother, where is this kingdom?" "At this rate, how long will it take us to get there?"
Esna noticed a hint of impatience in Shun's voice and tensed up, but after a moment's thought, she replied, "Probably in an hour we'll start seeing the kingdom." "
An hour? Let's go faster then!"
She spoke with a slightly angry tone, but the elves were already trembling with fear. They still remembered the power this man had just displayed, but they didn't want to remember it! With just a light punch, he could completely obliterate an area of a few hundred meters, and in a single leap he could travel kilometers! Also, sometimes the dimension around his arm would bend in a way they couldn't understand, and the more they remembered it, the more terrified they became. This man wasn't human!
Initially, the king's intention was to bring this most powerful person under his command, and if he refused, he would threaten him and try to control him by force, and they knew that. But after seeing this man's power, they realized that such a being shouldn't be disturbed! Their previous thoughts were that they could only gather him up, throw him in the trash, and watch him be burned. Threatening this man? Go throw yourself off a cliff! At least you won't have to watch your kingdom fall!
Actually, some were planning to quickly go to the kingdom beforehand and tell the king about his power and that this man shouldn't be threatened, but who knew he would notice their presence? It should be known that these 18 people weren't just ordinary guards of the kingdom; they were the most powerful and mysterious beings in the kingdom, specially trained by the king! They considered themselves superior, especially in assassination and concealment, so much so that they could easily go and assassinate the king of another small kingdom! But this man... Well, they don't need to compare him to themselves.
Esna spoke with a slight hint of fear in her voice, "Then let's hurry. If you allow, one of us can go ahead and inform the king of your arrival. This way we can prepare some good food and make some preparations beforehand."What do you say, Master Shun?''
Actually, the reason they sent someone was to tell the king not to threaten this man, of course he couldn't tell him that directly, so he came up with this excuse.
Shun said with a mysterious smile, "Hehe, weren't you here to get me anyway? I'm sure the king is waiting for me well prepared right now, you don't need to go."
How could he not know what these men and the king were thinking? Actually, he hadn't really noticed what was happening at first, but then he remembered his title of "most powerful" and understood a little bit of what was going on, and now, hearing what he said, he finally understood. If he hadn't made that display of power earlier, these men would have acted normally and wouldn't have wanted to send someone, after all, they had come here to get the "most powerful," hadn't they? Why did they need to go and report it again?
The other elves couldn't help but feel scared when they heard this. He understood! This man understood why the king wanted to summon him! But there was nothing they could do now, they wanted to escape and inform the king, but escaping in front of this man? It was nothing but a ridiculous dream. All they could do was ensure the king didn't overreact and didn't anger the monster too much.
After that, the elves sped up, and Shunda began adjusting his speed to theirs; although he could control his power, he hadn't yet fully mastered it. Sometimes his steps made him appear several hundred meters ahead, but as he progressed, his control increased. After about 10 minutes at this speed, a faint image of a city began to appear in the distance. A few minutes later, they emerged from among the trees and reached a flat plain.
From here, the massive walls were visible, about 2 kilometers away. This was the first time Shunda had ever seen a wall. In his previous life, he had seen the ruins of some destroyed kingdoms and their walls on a computer, and even though they were broken, he couldn't help but be amazed by their size. But compared to these walls, those walls were like a small garden wall, comparable only to the Great Wall of China.
They continued to move across the wide open space for a while longer and finally began to approach the walls. Ahead of them lay a long stone bridge, with a great abyss below, but Shun, with his heightened senses, could faintly hear the sound of water from below. On the other side of the bridge was a 100-meter-wide, quite long iron gate, now wide open. Fifteen armored guards flanked the gate, controlling those passing by.
As Shun and the others approached, the guards watched them from a distance, but their eyes trembled when they saw the small white, knife-embroidered emblem on the chests of the 18 elves. They turned their gaze away from them and looked at the others approaching. Those were the king's personal emblems; how could they even dare to look at them? They were just a small group of guards.
After passing through the large gate without any obstacle, there were market-like places on the right and left. For example, on the right there was a place selling small jars, on the left a fishmonger-like place emitting pleasant scents, all sorts of things. Since it was the entrance to the city, many people passed through every day, and these people set up their stalls nearby.
After walking a little further, Esna could no longer restrain herself and spoke in a pleading tone, "Master Shun, could you please forgive us and the king this time? If you overlook this matter, I can have the king give you great rewards."
Shun coldly replied, "If I weren't strong enough and hadn't shown my strength while you were there, could you say these things to me? Would the king give me a chance?"
Esna and the others fell silent upon hearing this. Would they give him a chance? Or would the king allow such a powerful person to serve another kingdom that could pose a threat to him? No! If he could take the strongest person into his ranks, he would both get rid of a potential threat and acquire the strongest person who could help the kingdom grow! What king could possibly refuse such a chance? But these results could only happen if the strongest person were involved. Was Shun human? Yes, he was, but was his power within the limits of a normal human? He could probably easily destroy this entire kingdom's city in a matter of minutes! So it turned out that what they were going to eat wasn't a small fish, but a megalodon! What could they do? At most, they could curse their luck and hope the king wouldn't be too oppressive.
Seeing the others remain silent, Shun said nothing and continued walking towards the palace with Esna.
