Two hours passed in a flash.
The spaceship arrived at its destination: Planet Mestea, a massive planet dozens of times larger than Earth.
Looking from the atmosphere, one could see that most of the planet was shrouded in thick fog. Lin released his spiritual perception. This thick fog was filled with strange and powerful electromagnetic forces.
Seeing that they had arrived, Zastin said to Lin, "Lord Son-in-law, please follow me."
"No need."
Lin retracted his spiritual perception and looked at Zastin with a faint smile. "I already know where your monarch is. I'll go over myself."
As soon as his voice fell, Lin used the Space Card to teleport away.
"Lord Son-in-law..."
Zastin was slightly stunned seeing this. Thinking that the monarch might want to meet Lin alone, he recovered his senses and didn't do anything else, simply waiting on the spaceship.
Somewhere on Planet Mestea.
There was no thick fog covering this area; the light of the star shone upon the earth. Lin met Lala's father: Gid Lucione Deviluke.
The universe hegemon of the Galaxy. He was exactly the same as the image in Lin's memory. Less than 1.2 meters tall, looking round-headed and round-faced. He wore gold earrings and possessed the tail unique to Devilukeans, though unlike Lala's tail, the tip was like a metal weapon.
Lin appeared suddenly.
Standing by a cliff and gazing into the distance, Gid also immediately sensed the presence of an existence behind him, so he turned to look. The two sized each other up. Then, coincidentally, they both frowned slightly.
Lin looked at Gid, his gaze condensing, and surprise emerged in his heart. The Codex lit up as soon as it recorded him. Could it be that his charm was truly so great that the other party approved of him with just one look? This guy...
Gid frowned slightly as he looked at Lin. He had a strange feeling in his heart. It was as if he had seen this guy before, and there was an impulse in his heart to beat him up ruthlessly. He controlled the strange emotions inside him and looked at Lin, speaking out:
"Are you that fiancé, Lin, whom Lala found on Earth?"
Although he knew about this matter beforehand, he hadn't let Zastin show him Lin's photo. He had only listened to a description of his appearance. He didn't know why, but looking at Lin before him, Gid felt a sense of getting angrier the more he looked. He wanted to make a move and beat him up more and more.
Was it because of Lala? Gid was somewhat puzzled inside.
"It is I."
Lin nodded, lowering his head slightly to look down at Gid.
Seeing this, Gid asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you surprised why my appearance is like this?"
Lin smiled faintly. "Not surprised. I am not an ordinary person; such things cannot surprise me."
"..."
Looking at Lin's smiling face, Gid couldn't help but frown again. Why was he inexplicably a bit annoying?
"Kid, although Lala chose you, this doesn't mean you are the heir to the Deviluke throne. I am the final decision-maker. If you want to become the heir to the throne, the future overlord of the galaxy, you must accept an incomparably cruel trial. You could lose your life at any time."
Gid's expression darkened slightly, and an invisible sense of oppression radiated from his body.
"I will give you a chance. Leave Lala now, and I will pretend nothing happened. Choose. Is it to leave Lala, or accept the test where you could die at any time?"
Sensing that Lin had no reaction under the pressure he released, Gid increased the invisible oppressive aura bit by bit. The wind began to blow in the surroundings. The wind force became greater and greater. Obviously, the pressure he released was affecting reality.
Facing Gid's pressure, Lin smiled with a calm expression and said, "I think you might have misunderstood something. First of all, I like Lala, and I will never give her up. Also, I never said I wanted to inherit the throne of Deviluke."
"..."
Hearing the first sentence, Gid expressed affirmation in his heart. If Lin had flinched and chosen to abandon Lala, he would definitely have taken action immediately to blast Lin into slag. Even if it would make Lala sad, he would not let Lala be with someone with such poor character. Let alone inherit his throne.
But when he heard the second sentence, he couldn't help but frown. "Kid, what do you mean by this? Do you dare to look down on our Deviluke throne?"
"Don't misunderstand."
Lin smiled and said, "I just feel that being a king or whatever is too tiring, and the Galaxy is so big."
Hearing Lin say this, Gid couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart. Although he had the Chief Minister to help handle government affairs, there were still many things that required his personal appearance. After ten years, he was a bit tired of it. He wanted to live a secluded life more now.
That was why he thought of finding a suitable heir to replace himself. Thoughts surging in his mind, Gid looked at Lin, and he already had a certain degree of approval for this son-in-law in his heart.
His character looked okay so far. His appearance and temperament were impeccable. Listening to Zastin, his strength was also very strong; Zastin was completely no match.
Thinking of this, Gid said in a deep voice, "Kid, since you don't want to give up Lala, but you also don't want to become the heir to the throne, then show me your skills. Only the strong have the right to speak. Why do you think I can rule the Galaxy? It is because I possess strength that overrides everyone else. Fight me. Whoever wins gets their way."
"Alright, come on!"
Lin heard this and didn't hesitate at all. Ever since awakening the Codex of All Things, his strength had progressed very quickly, and he had almost never fought anyone with full force. It was basically all crushing victories. When he was at the Country-Destroying level, only Tohru could compare a bit. But given his relationship with Tohru, it was impossible to go all out.
Now Gid wanted to duel. This suited his intentions perfectly. Although Gid was not in his prime state now, even like this, he was a planet-busting powerhouse who could easily destroy Earth. And he was only stronger, not weaker than Lin. After all, in his prime, he was Star magnitude.
Having finally encountered an opponent who could let him go all out, Lin couldn't help but ignite his fighting spirit. He really wanted to fight!
"Good, very spirited."
Sensing Lin's fighting spirit, a trace of appreciation emerged in Gid's eyes. However, this did not hinder the thought in his mind of wanting to beat Lin up.
His voice had just fallen. Gid instantly vanished from his spot, rushing towards Lin.
Boom!!!
Like the explosion of a large number of nuclear bombs. Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the moment Gid and Lin's fists and feet collided, a terrifying shockwave swept through the surroundings. The mountain beneath their feet vanished instantly. Everything within a radius of a thousand miles turned into fine powder.
Lin did not rush to expand his domain; for the time being, he only used his physical strength plus the Force of exploding-planet intensity within his body. He engaged in a hard-on-hard collision with Gid.
You punch, I kick. The speed of the two was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, they exchanged blows hundreds of times.
The rumbling explosions were continuous. Lin possessed the universe hegemon ability template from another world. Gid was also a universe hegemon. At this moment, it was approximately equal to universe hegemons of two worldviews fighting.
The battlefield shifted from the ground to the high sky. The aftershocks leaking from the battle set off terrifying impacts, destroying everything in their path like a storm of destruction. On the spaceship in outer space, Zastin and the others could observe the commotion caused by the battle between the two with their naked eyes.
