Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 976: Omnipotent Magic Pearl

Ye Zhongming was slightly stunned, but he wasn’t too surprised.

Hong Xiang and Neal brought it up with him, but it wasn’t so official. There was an element of joke in it, so he didn’t treat it seriously. After all, being a king didn’t seem like a high position to him. It was just a title, so he didn’t care much about it.

But now, it seemed like they were serious. The two kings weren’t joking previously and were just testing him out, so he was mentally prepared.

Ye Zhongming wasn’t very interested, but he knew that he had to accept it.

They were giving him this official identity so that he could be the commander in the upcoming battle.

Of course, another important point was that they wanted to push him to a higher position so that his men would try their best to defend.

This was a plot. They wanted to use this method to express their attitude and to tell him that… Brother, although we know that you want to help us, you have to go all out. If not, the situation isn’t too good.

Ye Zhongming understood, so he was not going to reject them.

“If you agree, then we can conduct the coronation immediately.”

The Protector’s attitude towards him changed from hatred to coldness after he came into contact with the person under the pool. Now, it was more typical. Through this process, Ye Zhongming became more and more important to them. As long as this old man wasn’t a fool, he would know that the only reason they were confident in defending, apart from the fact that the Imperial City had never fallen, was this guy’s support.
This guy called Ye Zhongming represented not only himself and Cloud Peak; to a certain extent, he represented another world.

Ye Zhongming nodded. Since he knew what he had to do, he decided to be more direct.

Thus, the kings and protector went to work, and very quickly, the biggest structure in the Imperial City that, they called the Omnipotent God Hall conducted a coronation ceremony.

This shocked Ye Zhongming, who hadn’t thought much about it initially.

Although not much work was done for this, the hall was redecorated. On the hundred steps in front of the main hall, pure white leather was placed on it. Although they didn’t have soft fur, it was thin like sil and white like snow.

They weaved a ceremonial attire for him, and he walked toward the main gate. There were 98 pairs of people with horns waiting for him. When they saw him, they would sound their horns. The low and penetrative sounds spread through the city and even spread outside.

Ye Zhongming entered the hall and saw the kings, the protector, and six of the most powerful elders of the Posthumous people. On the high platform was a giant crystal ball.

Based on the process, the representatives of the kings would announce some things that he had to follow as well as some duties and responsibilities.

Next, he would have to swear toward this Omnipotent Magic Pearl by kneeling in front of it.

Ye Zhongming agreed. Kneeling to a Posthumous people god was not a problem.

He walked forward and looked down, able to see the entire hall. From where he stood, the kings and protector seemed a little small.

He knelt before the giant crystal ball and placed his hands on it. He got ready to swear.

The kings watched and finally relaxed.

Promises were less reliable to them than an oath.

But… What was he doing? Why was he closing his eyes and not saying anything? Swearing in his heart didn’t work.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but he couldn’t. He regretted being rash.

After he touched the purple ball, as a smith, his instinct was to investigate it.

He actually got a notification that he could use his job skill!

This meant that this giant purple crystal was a material and might even be a complete piece of equipment.

To a smith, the moment they touch such a thing, they will try to understand its stats. Ye Zhongming was no exception.

The best way to find out what it was was to strengthen it and turn it into hiss.

Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but try all his materials with it to see which could strengthen it.

Finally, he realized that one thing worked. It was the five-headed level eight monster that nearly killed Ye Zhongming at Cloud Peak and spat out a black soul-shaped thing to injure Red Hair. It was the Bone Pearl Ring that it dropped.

It was just a special structure they took off its neck after it died. It was a bone ring as thick as its neck, and there was a pearl where the five heads were. The two were connected with bone.

Ye Zhongming tested this before but he couldn’t use it. But it was definitely something good, so he kept it. He didn’t expect it to be useful now.

But this strengthening wasn’t like those he did previously, as it wasn’t completed instantly but continued…

It continued to strengthen and absorb his mental energy.

This wasn’t strengthen, but it was more of a combination. Or rather, self-creation!

The kings saw that something wasn’t right and looked at each other. They were getting ready to remind Ye Zhongming. At this point, they couldn’t care that they were interrupting the ceremony.

But before they walked up, the crystal ball that he was touching started to glow, and it grew brighter. Moments later, it was eye-piercing.

The people in the hall were shocked and didn’t know what had happened. The people with the horns outside were already kneeling on the ground and singing that the gods were showing a sign.

The few kings didn’t believe those words, but the truth was in front of them. They made oaths when they became kings but such a thing didn’t happen.

Shortly after, the purple light started to glow and wrap Ye Zhongming. It then exploded like a volcano, turning into a pillar of light that broke through the hallʼs roof and continued upwards. It lit up the entire mountain!
