Chapter 388 The Final Victor
Someone had come out!
Everyone's gaze was focused on that figure who seemed to be strolling towards the outside.
There wasn't a single sound in the Imperial City Plaza. It was completely silent.
Everyone had forgotten to even breathe. All of their attention was focused on that figure.
Everyone was waiting.
The final victor.
Who was it?
Even a few highgod experts had forgotten everything at this moment. Their gazes were filled with anticipation as they stared at this figure.
The tall, slender figure slowly walked out.
Everyone was able to see a bit more clearly.
This figure held a longsword in one hand, and a human figure in the other.
Within the crowd, someone couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva, staring at this scene with wide eyes.
Not long after, the figure walked out of the pitch-black void.
Everyone could clearly see the figure.
It was Joelson!
Everyone fell into a daze as they stood rooted to the ground.
The number one genius of the Orencia Empire, the Blade of Orencia, Clemente.
He actually lost?
He actually lost to a super genius that no one had ever heard of?
How was this possible?
Everyone was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them. They couldn't even believe their own eyes.
With one hand holding the long sword that no longer had any white-gold light, Joelson was holding Clemente, who seemed to have lost consciousness and returned to his human form.
They had only wanted to see how terrifying the real strength of this super-genius, who could end the Ripper with just one move, was.
They had never imagined that Joelson would be able to win. Or perhaps, they had never imagined that the number one genius of the Orencia Empire would actually lose as well?
He would also encounter someone who was on the same level as him, but wasn't able to defeat him?
Joelson was only at the early stage of the demigod level!
But in the next second, a cry of surprise rang out.
"It's Joelson?"
Everyone was startled awake by this voice, and they immediately came to their senses.
"That's right, it's him!"
"Joelson!"
"Joelson is the victor!"
"This new super-genius defeated the number one genius of the Orencia Empire!"
"Now, he is the new number one genius of the Orencia Empire!"
...
Cheers erupted like a tsunami in the Imperial City Plaza.
Although Joelson was not the genius they were familiar with.
He might not even be from the Orencia Empire.
However, the deep fear that Clemente brought to the crowd like the arrival of the king of demons, as well as the valiant posture of Joelson facing Clemente like the return of the knight-king, had left an indelible memory in everyone's hearts.
No matter how many years passed, this battle would be deeply imprinted in everyone's minds, as if it had just happened.
This was a supreme battle between supreme geniuses that far surpassed everyone's imaginations. No matter who the final victor was, they would all give the most enthusiastic cheers.
The few highgods all revealed shocked expressions.
In truth, in their hearts, they believed that the final victory would belong to Clemente.
But the result was contrary to their expectations.
The final victor was this supreme genius that no one had ever heard of, who had suddenly appeared!
Joelson!
In addition, this was a completely suppressed victory.
Clemente had already lost consciousness, and although Joelson's face was rather pale, not a single speck of dust could be seen on his robes!
The few highgods looked at this scene, not knowing what to say.
A genius whose talent was even greater than Clemente's?
They couldn't imagine it.
Toby and Edessa hurriedly ran to Joelson's side. Seeing that Joelson didn't seem to be injured, they both let out a sigh of relief.
And then, they revealed a look of shock.
They knew that Joelson was extremely powerful, but they had never imagined that Joelson would actually be this powerful!
Even Clemente wasn't a match for him!
He couldn't even leave a scar on him!
"Thank you, Joelson!" Toby looked at Joelson and said gratefully, "I don't know how to repay such a favor but, as long as you have any needs, my family will do its best to help!"
Joelson had helped them too much. First, he had saved their lives and, now, he had won a place for both of them to enter the tomb of the sovereign.
Edessa looked at Joelson with a look of worship on her face.
As she saw it, this man had a handsome face that no one could compare to and a talent that surpassed all supreme geniuses.
It could be said that to any young girl, this sort of man could only be seen in their dreams.
"Since we are friends, I've helped you obtain two places, and you've given me the key to the legacy. There's no need to thank me."Joelson shook his head slightly, then said to Toby.
And then, Joelson turned and handed Clemente over to the surrounding highgods.
One of the highgods took out a white-glowing potion from his interspatial ring and applied it on Clemente's forehead.
The potion was instantly absorbed by Clemente.
Clemente slowly woke up, slowly opening his eyes and looking at Joelson.
"You're one of the strongest opponents I've ever met."
Clemente laughed lightly and said in a weak voice.
It was as if he was rejoicing over this joyous battle.
Hearing Clemente's words, everyone felt a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Why did Clemente say that Joelson was one of the strongest opponents?
Could it be that Clemente had encountered other opponents as strong as Joelson?
Geniuses from the other three great empires?
Or geniuses from the Slaughter Divine Kingdom?
Only a few highgods revealed shocked gazes when they heard this.
It wasn't because Clemente had encountered other powerful opponents.
It was because of Joelson!
They knew why Clemente had said that Joelson was only one of the most powerful opponents.
Because Clemente had once gone to the Supreme Academy!
Although they didn't know what Clemente had experienced at the Supreme Academy, they were certain that.
Clemente had definitely seen just how terrifying the geniuses of the Supreme Academy were!
But even under these circumstances, Clemente had still said that Joelson was the most powerful opponent.
Didn't that mean that Joelson was powerful enough to be comparable to the geniuses of the Supreme Academy?
As they thought of this, a few highgods looked at Joelson with a hint of reverence in their eyes.
The geniuses of the Supreme Academy weren't something they could imagine.
Right at this moment.
Outside the Imperial City Plaza, a squad of royal guards, all at the god level, had appeared.
And in the center of the royal guards' encirclement was an extremely luxurious carriage pulled by six demigod bloodthirsty draconic horses.
The carriage, surrounded by the royal guards, slowly advanced towards the center of the Imperial Capital Plaza.
