MTLNOVEL Chapter255-The Shocked Giant Mountain God King
After Daniel's words echoed, he departed.
There was nothing left for him to manage here.
The six god kings were so weakened that even a god sovereign could easily defeat them, let alone the 5-Element God King.
The 5-Element God King was the true ruler of the 5-Element God Realm, so the decisions about how to handle these foes were left to him.
After all, he had held the line against them for two years.
Ultimately, the authority to decide their fates should rest with him.
As for Daniel, he headed back to the 5-Element Temple to rest.
Initially, Daniel had planned to make an appearance.
But upon seeing the 5-Element God King's grand display, he decided against it.
Daniel had no desire to join in such an awkward spectacle.
He left the scene to the 5-Element God King, content to assist from the shadows.
Now, neither the opposing god kings nor the beast clan army posed any threat to the 5-Element God King.
So, it was better to let him take the lead.
Crowds and ceremonies weren't Daniel's style.
The 5-Element God King stood motionless, staring at the aftermath.
He never imagined that Daniel's intervention would be so devastatingly decisive.
Behind him, cheers erupted from the city!
"God King, you're invincible!"
"So powerful, God King! Those beast clans couldn't even last a single round against you!"
"No wonder the God King issued such strange orders yesterday. It turns out he had everything under control!"
…
For two years, the people of the 5-Element City had been resisting the relentless assaults of the beast clan.
They understood all too well how challenging their foes were.
Countless times, they had dreamed of annihilating these troublesome invaders.
But they never expected it to happen so suddenly.
Today, the dream had become reality.
Everyone in the 5-Element God Realm, who had lost their homes and loved ones to the beast clan, could finally rejoice.
The 5-Element God King had done it.
He had fulfilled their deepest desires, making them want to cheer and cry in unison.
The 5-Element God King turned his gaze toward the ten defeated god kings.
He could see they no longer posed any threat.
If they did, Daniel wouldn't have left him to handle them alone.
The beast clan's god kings were in miserable condition—bloodied, wounded, and completely incapacitated.
Even the human god kings were no better off.
Once dignified and elegant, they now looked utterly disheveled and defeated.
Among them, the most visibly shaken was the Giant Mountain God King.
He couldn't comprehend how the 5-Element God King had gained such overwhelming power.
The two had once been close allies.
Much of what the 5-Element God King knew came from the Giant Mountain God King.
Even the magic arrays of the 5-Element Temple had been arranged with the Giant Mountain God King's help.
This made the 5-Element God King's newfound strength all the more inexplicable to him.
The Giant Mountain God King was well aware of the 5-Element God King's capabilities, especially his mastery of the five-element rules.
Whether it was the interplay of the elements or their opposing forces, the 5-Element God King's techniques were notoriously troublesome.
This had left a deep impression on the Giant Mountain God King during their past encounters.
When the beast clan was first sent to attack, the Giant Mountain God King had even specifically warned them to send at least two god kings to ensure victory.
The 5-Element God King's five-element rules were too vexing for a single god king to handle alone.
Two beast clan god kings had led the initial assault, besieging the 5-Element Temple with their army.
The Giant Mountain God King's plan was simple: the two god kings would keep the 5-Element God King occupied while the beast clan army ravaged the rest of the realm.
But things didn't go as planned.
When the beast clan attacked, the 5-Element God King wasn't even in the temple.
As soon as the beast clan arrived, those left in the temple activated its sealing magic arrays, locking the invaders in a stalemate.
By the time the 5-Element God King returned two months later, the situation had already shifted.
With two beast clan god kings against one, the odds seemed to favor the invaders.
But unexpectedly, an unknown and powerful ally, the Ink Sea God King, entered the fray.
In a two-versus-two scenario, the beast clan's god kings were no match and had to flee in disgrace.
The Giant Mountain God King wasn't too concerned at this stage.
He had already prepared for the next move: a joint attack with the beast clan to obliterate the 5-Element God Realm.
No matter how strong the Ink Sea God King was, the combined might of six god kings and the beast clan would surely prevail.
However, delays in gathering forces gave the 5-Element God King time to recover and fortify.
With the resources provided by the Ink Sea God King—vast amounts of divine crystals and divine stones—the 5-Element God King constructed massive fortified cities.
These cities became havens for the human survivors of the realm, protected by formidable defenses.
The Giant Mountain God King and the beast clan had never anticipated such rapid development.
What had once seemed like an easy conquest now appeared insurmountable.

When the beast clan finally arrived at the fortified cities, they realized the defenses were far beyond anything they could overcome.
Even the combined power of multiple god kings couldn't breach the arrays in a short time.
Today, however, everything changed.
The 5-Element God King opened the gates, only to unleash a single devastating attack that annihilated the beast clan army and shattered their ambitions.
The Giant Mountain God King, feeling the extent of his injuries, couldn't help but regret his decisions.
If he had never allied with the beast clan and excluded the 5-Element God King from their coalition, would things have turned out differently?
Now, with ten god kings defeated and unable to resist, their fates rested entirely in the 5-Element God King's hands.
This was infuriating!
Where had the 5-Element God King acquired such overwhelming power?
If he had possessed this strength all along, why hadn't he used it during the past two years?
Why wait until today?
The Giant Mountain God King was convinced the 5-Element God King must have had some kind of miraculous encounter.
Otherwise, how could he achieve this?
