CHAPTER 9 — SUPREME vs FREQUENTAL
The wind was silent, the sky trembling.
Lare and Aricus stood facing each other, blades drawn, bodies glowing with God-level power.
But this was not simply a duel between two boys.
It was a battle between:
Supreme Body vs Frequent Body.
Supreme God vs Frequent God.
Lare felt a warm pulse inside his Royal System.
A voice echoed from deep within.
Supreme God (through ROYAL):
"Child… show me your strength."
But the Supreme God had no idea that the system speaking to Lare was actually R.O.Y.A.L—the hidden creation of the Creator God.
At the same moment, Aricus's eyes flickered gold.
Frequent God (whispering to Aricus):
"My descendant… fight. I will guide you."
Raen, watching from a distance, felt like he was witnessing the beginning of a new era.
---
The Fight Begins
Aricus stepped forward first.
His Frequent Body activated—his aura erupted into a golden shockwave.
Aricus:
"Come, Lare! Let's see who is stronger!"
Lare smirked and dashed forward, his movements smooth, calm, precise.
Their swords clashed—
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Each strike caused the air to shatter like glass.
Aricus swung downward, unleashing a golden arc of energy.
Lare dodged with impossible speed, countering with a crescent slash of pure Supreme Body force.
The shockwave split the ground.
Raen fell backward.
Raen:
"ARE THEY STILL HUMAN?!"
---
Divine Interference
In the middle of the duel, Lare suddenly felt a vibration in his system.
A quest popped up.
ROYAL:
"NEW QUEST FROM CREATOR GOD:
Defeat Aricus → Achieve OLD GOD LEVEL."
Lare blinked.
Then another voice boomed directly into his mind.
Supreme God:
"Hey boy… beat him. If you do, I'll promote you to Apex Master."
Lare raised an eyebrow.
Lare:
"Double prizes? Nice."
He laughed and released more power.
The ground under him cracked.
Aricus's eyes widened.
Aricus:
"W–Why did your aura suddenly explode?!"
The Frequent God narrowed his gaze.
Frequent God:
"Did the Supreme God give him something…?"
But the Supreme God laughed.
Supreme God:
"No, no. That's his OWN power.
Unlike your descendant."
The Frequent God grew angry.
Frequent God:
"Then take this, Aricus!"
A surge of divine energy flooded Aricus's body.
His muscles tightened, aura intensified, eyes glowed sharp gold.
The moment Frequent God powered Aricus, the Supreme God panicked.
Supreme God:
"He got power!? NO!
Lare—take MY power too!"
A massive surge entered Lare.
His levels shot upward—
His Supreme Body jumped to MAX.
His strength exploded.
His level hit 100 in an instant.
His entire being evolved—
He became an Apex Master.
---
The Final Sword Exchange
Lare felt unstoppable.
He pushed off the ground with godlike speed.
Aricus met him with a roar.
Their blades collided—
A giant ring of light expanded around them.
Lare's aura shifted.
He stepped into a stance.
The final secret of Basic Swordsmanship.
The Last Step.
A quiet, perfect, flawless strike.
Lare whispered:
Lare:
"End of the fight."
Aricus tried to block—but the strike was too clean.
Too fast.
Too divine.
Dust exploded everywhere.
Raen shielded his eyes.
When the dust cleared—
Lare's blade rested gently beside Aricus's eye.
Aricus… defeated.
Aricus breathed out and smiled.
Aricus:
"Heh…
This… is the power of my friend."
---
OLD GOD AWAKENING
A chime echoed inside Lare.
ROYAL:
"REWARD ACQUIRED.
YOU HAVE REACHED — OLD GOD LEVEL 1."
A spark burst from Lare's chest.
Light shot into the sky.
Raen stumbled back.
Raen:
"HOLY—DUDE YOU'RE GLOWING LIKE A STAR!!"
Lare's body shined bright.
His aura shifted.
Something older, deeper, godlier awakened inside him.
DOUBLE AWAKENING.
He collapsed instantly, falling unconscious.
---
The Subconscious Realm
Lare opened his eyes to find himself standing in a dark-blue realm.
A tall, ancient man stood before him—hair silver, eyes like galaxies.
Unknown Man:
"So… you are the one chosen by my student."
Before Lare could speak—
A hundred sword strikes flashed toward him.
Lare dodged all instantly.
The man smirked.
Unknown Man:
"Good. You really reached Old God.
I will reward you—improve yourself."
Lare finally spoke.
Lare:
"Who are you?
And… where is my father?"
The man's expression softened.
Unknown Man:
"If you want to know the truth…
Reach HIGH GOD level.
Then come to the God Realm."
Before Lare could reply, the man touched his head.
A blessing entered him:
Magical Healer
Blink Movement
Then everything faded.
---
Return
Lare opened his eyes.
Aricus and Raen were beside him.
Raen hugged him like a worried mother.
Raen:
"You idiot! Don't glow and faint like that! You scared me!"
Lare pushed him off.
Lare:
"Get off me."
Another quest appeared.
ROYAL:
"NEW QUEST:
Achieve HIGH GOD → Learn Creator's Past."
Lare smirked.
Lare:
"If I want answers…
I'll beat down even a god."
But suddenly—two voices struck him at once.
Supreme God & Frequent God (shouting):
"HOW—
HOW DID YOU REACH OLD GOD?!"
Lare just smiled.
