Chapter 1065 Against a God

Occupying a quarter of the enter Divine Colosseum in order to train for the upcoming Tournament of the new Gods, the fact that Jason was suddenly standing opposite Keran astonished the few present Celestias.

Some of them had seen Jason fighting against Juan, less than 250 years ago, and thus had a fair idea of his strength and fighting spirit.

As such, they didn't believe that the young halfling was capable of defeating Keran, not after his God's Halos were adjusted to the domain of the strongest and newly advanced Celestia Gods.

After all, two of his God's Halo's unique traits focused on enhancing his Celestia aura, thereby increasing the pressure on his opponents.

This only meant that his domain would become even more fearsome, which was certainly not something one would want to face head-on.

But even if Jason's decision to fight Celestia God Keran was certainly weird, the same could be said about the fact that Keran accepted Jason's challenge.

That was also why many present Celestias couldn't help but report what was going on to the other Celestia Gods.

Ever since Jason had vanished for an entire century, the available information about him had rapidly decreased.

Yet, after the century he disappeared, he had become one of the most-spoken topics owing to the golden pillar he manifested while being connected to the divine palace of cultivation.

Nobody had ever seen such a ginormous cultivation pillar, which made him gain the interest of nearly every Celestia, who had been in the Divine Heaven, and not in isolated cultivation.

Thus, in no time, Celestias, Gods, and even some of the Royal Celestia Gods had appeared in the Divine Colosseum.

Even if they were busy, it wouldn't hurt spending some time to figure out if the presumed candidate to become a Primordial God was worth being paid attention to or not.

Seeing the rather high number of Celestias within the Divine Colosseum, Jason couldn't help but smile to himself before he turned towards Keran, who was wielding a spear in his hand.

While smoothly moving it between his hands, he seemed rather relaxed right now.

His gaze was fixated on Jason, while his spear continued to rotate around him.

"Should I test out my new soul armaments?" Jason mumbled before a one-meter-long saber manifested in his hand.

A moment later an armor appeared out of thin air and enveloped him tightly.

Even if he was unable to bind beasts to his Soul Dimension as the changes in his aura, and energy fluctuations would be sensed by the Celestia race, it was still possible for him to bind weapons, armors, and other armaments to his soul.

They wouldn't change his genetics in the slightest, which was what the Celestia race had been so worried about.

With that in mind, Jason forged several soul armaments before and after he spent 230 years refining his entire being before cultivating.

He wanted to be fully prepared to face the Celestia Gods, but creating weapons that could injure Gods was still beyond his highest potential.

Because of that, he created Pseudo-Godly Soul armaments from the materials that even beings that were not Gods could use while fighting before binding the weapons and armor to his soul.

Owing to the particular traits of Soul armaments, their potency and strength automatically adjusted to the maximum capabilities of the armaments' binder.

The limit of the Soul armaments' adjustment was the same as the limit of the materials they had been manufactured with.

As such, the weapons and armors Jason forged would usually not be able to reach the standard required for a weapon to be capable of injuring Gods!

But if he were to add the refinement of the entire being he had undergone for an entire century, he had enhanced his weapons with the refinement of his entire soul, and the things that were bound to his soul!

Thus, the Pseudo-Godly Soul armaments were refined manifold and reached the standards of True Godly Soul armaments.

That was something Jason had tested out, and while wielding the Kyda Saber, he couldn't help but smile.

His connection to the Kyda Saber was exceptional.

It felt like an extension of his arm while being wielded, and the exact same could be said about the tight armor that enveloped him.

The armor he wore was made of highly flexible metal.

Jason had chosen this metal because it allowed him to create a combat suit that was extraordinary in terms of defensive measures while allowing him to move without any restrictions.

Inscribing runic constellation on the metal was also quite easy.

The only difficulties he had faced while crafting the boots were because Jason was unsure of what kind of boots he should create, or rather which runic constellations he should inscribe on them!

But it the end the answer was quite simple.

When he circulated moonlight divine energy through his entire body, the Kyda sword, the Oian armor, and the Hua boots all of which shimmered brightly and radiated a fearsome presence that was clearly perceived by the Celestias.

His entire equipment made heads turn, but it was not overwhelming because most of them thought that Royal Celestia God Yaldra had provided the armaments to Jason.

Thus, they rather focused on Jason, and Keran, who were ready to fight, and simply awaited the starting signal.

It followed just seconds after the two entered their battle stance, and the fight of a DemiGod against a True God began.

As if on cue, the moment the fight started, Keran's third, and largest God's Halo began to rotate.

It gleamed brightly, and the effect [Elemental Superiority] was activated at once.

The instant after the unique trait of his God's Halo was activated, Keran used teleportation to appear right behind Jason.

A moment later the surrounding space was sealed, preventing Jason from fleeing by making use of his spatial affinity.

It was impossible for Jason to break the spatial seal as well.

Thus, the young DemiGod quickly noticed that he had to face Keran's attack head-on.

However, that was something he had already expected.

Keran's first God's Halo's effect [Omnipotent presence] was activated, draining him of his energy at a rapid pace.

But the effect was not fast enough to prevent the Celestia God from attacking him.

Using his wind affinity that was enhanced by the [Elemental Superiority] trait, his spear thrust out, targeting Jason's back.

Yet, just a moment later, Jason's first God's Halo began to shine brightly as the complex of three runic constellations was activated.

It used up the entire energy within the first God's Halo.

However, this was nothing to be worried about because the [Omnipotent Presence] trait was still activated, providing it with tremendous amounts of energy.

The runic constellations [Impact absorption], [Energy absorption] and [Reflection] were activated, while the smallest of Jason's God's Halos blocked the spear thrust.

Using the force of the attack, only to be reflected with far more energy, Jason smiled lightly as he saw the effect of his first God's Halos perfect combo attack.

He was proud of his first God's Halo, and that he had the forethought of inscribing the complex of three runic constellations on it.

It had been a great decision, and Keran could only agree to this reluctantly as the skin all over his right arm burst open.

A moment later he was flung backward and somehow broke his fall after he crossed more than a kilometer.

The moment the impact of his attack had been reflected, Keran retracted his spear.

But it had already been too late for him to do that, forcing him to use several healing affinities right now .

Taking a glance at Jason, he saw his first God's Halo slow down before it came to a halt.

The energy within it had been replenished, meaning that Jason didn't lose a trace of energy despite his counterattack.

Meanwhile, Keran was losing a tremendous amount of divine energy in order to keep up with the consumption of the [Elemental Superiority] trait.

It forced Keran to stop maintaining the effect of the third God's Halo's trait.

Understanding that Jason had an advantage in their first clash, Keran couldn't help but smile.

He clearly realized that the young halfling was not to be taken lightly, even if he was just a Demi God.

"You're really interesting!!!" Keran remarked, only for Jason to smile at him before he replied,

"Well, I have to give my best to force you to reveal your domain!"
