Picking Up Attributes From Today

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Strong gusts of cold winds blew. An exceedingly stifling atmosphere filled the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.

The three great Juggernauts from the supreme Celestial Realm and the 134 Chief Gods from the ten Divine Realms stood proudly in the air. Every one of them gave off a strong, surging aura that seemed as deep as the abyss and as bottomless as the oceans. Opposite them stood Meng Lei, a lone man.

On one side were the three great Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods, while on the other was Meng Lei!

Judging from the lineup alone, the two parties were in two completely different leagues. There was no comparability between the two at all.

Anyone would be scared witless and lose every ounce of battle spirit if they were surrounded by the three Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods, yet Meng Lei was calm and collected, his demeanor light and casual. It was as if he wasn’t facing the three great Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods but a bunch of cats and dogs instead.

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not,” Meng Lei waved lightly and said, “What matters is that all of you are about to die!”

“Die?”

The three Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods were mildly taken aback for a moment when they heard Meng Lei’s words, but soon after, they let out contemptuous scoffs of laughter as looks of disdain and mockery came over their faces.

The Death Dominus cackled, his voice incredibly hoarse and ear-piercing. He said, “Kid, I don’t know what you’ve done to the Space Dominus, but... Killing us? Are you still in your dreams?”

“How arrogant and presumptuous!”

The Destruction Dominus let out a cold snort.

“You overestimate yourself,” said the Life Dominus coldly.

A Chief God with a pair of horns on his hand also ordered coldly, “The three great Juggernauts are standing before you, knave! Get onto your knees, kowtow, and own up to your mistakes! What are you still waiting for?”

“Get onto your knees!”

“Get onto your knees!”

“Get onto your knees!”

The other Chief Gods also spoke up one after another. Roiling sound waves converged and formed a majestic torrent of voices that surged brazenly toward Meng Lei from everywhere.

Boom!

Had it been anyone else facing these shocking and earth-shattering torrents of voices, the resulting reverberations would already have knocked them dead a long time ago. Even if they survived, their souls would also end up destroyed.

However, Meng Lei remained unmoved as though it was the spring breeze caressing his face. No matter how the torrent of voices pressed down upon him, he simply stood steadily where he was like a bastion of stability from start to finish.

“You want me to get onto my knees? With the likes of you?”

Meng Lei shook his head with a scoff and said, “I’m not looking down on you, but I just want to say that be it a Juggernaut or a Chief God, all of them are... Trash!”

“How dare you!”

The three Juggernauts’ expressions turned cold at once. Towering divine power gushed out of them and crushed down brazenly upon Meng Lei like great surging tidal waves, seemingly trying to flatten him onto the ground.

It was just a shame that Meng Lei still remained calm and unaffected even against such vast and mighty divine power. He said, “You said just now that I’ve become too full of myself, Moro. Open your eyes wide and watch this closely now, and see whether I’ve become too full of myself or not!”

“What are you intending to do?” asked Moro in a low voice.

“You’ll see right away!”

A dispassionate smile graced Meng Lei’s lips. Then, he reached out a finger and barked, “Where are you, time-based laws of nature?”

Buzz!

A golden laws of nature chain suddenly came from the sky above the moment he spoke.

The laws of nature chain emanated a vast aura of time. The sight of it gave different people completely different feels.

Ancient and decayed!

Prosperous and flourishing!

Distant and eternal!

While everyone was still immersed in their unique moments of enlightenment, the golden chain split into two, then into four, and next into eight. Then, the eight golden chains attacked the Juggernauts and the others from eight different directions.

“These are time-based laws of nature chains! Get back!”

The three Juggernauts retreated with a burst of speed. Their movement speeds were beyond comparison, and they went 10 million kilometers away in an instant, successfully evading the eight chains’ siege.

The Chief Gods, however, weren’t so lucky. Not only were they half a beat slower, but the eight golden chains also moved incredibly swiftly, and they ended up becoming surrounded by the chains.

Buzz!

The eight laws of nature chains instantly linked together to form a golden prison of chains that imprisoned the 134 Chief Gods.

“Damn it!”

“C’mon, break!!”

Greatly alarmed, the 134 Chief Gods turned pale, and they quickly began to attack the laws of nature cage. However, something that shocked and dismayed them happened—as though the laws of nature cage was just an illusory one, all their attacks passed right through the cage upon landing. They didn’t affect the cage in the least.

“I can’t attack it?”

“How did that happen?”

The Chief Gods found this incredible. The golden cage was clearly imprisoning them within, and they couldn’t escape from it at all, so why couldn’t they attack it?

“That’s Time Prison!”

“Based on how he can mobilize time-based laws of nature to attack at will, it looks like he’s already fully comprehended time-based laws of nature!”

“He’s... Fully comprehended time-based laws of nature?”

“It’ll... probably be very difficult for us to kill him!”

All three Juggernauts wore awful looks on their faces. Time-based laws of nature was a type of supreme laws of nature, and every type of supreme laws of nature possessed entirely different powers.

Destruction laws of nature ruled over destruction;

Death laws of nature ruled over death;

Life laws of nature ruled over life;

Spatial laws of nature ruled over dimensional space;

In the same vein, time-based laws of nature definitely ruled over time itself!

Time was intangible. Time-based laws of nature’s destructive abilities might not be as great as that of destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature, but their strange and peculiar nature made them highly elusive and enigmatic!

Most importantly, no one had fully mastered time-based laws of nature prior to Meng Lei. Therefore, none of the Juggernauts had any experience in battling time-based laws of nature.

This was what gave the three Juggernauts the biggest headache!

“Damn it!”

“I can’t attack it!”

“How did this happen?”

The 134 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison were unusually anxious. Their attacks couldn’t even touch the cage at all. How were they supposed to fight this?

“You actually want to punish me? With the likes of all of you?”

Meng Lei took step after step toward the Time Prison and went right up to it. A look of slight disdain surfaced in his eyes as he gazed at the panic-stricken Chief Gods.

“You knave! Release me if you dare!”

A Behemoth Chief God with firm, intertwining muscles and golden fur all over him shouted fiercely, “What’s so impressive about using this kind of weird method to trap us? Release me and fight me head-on if you dare!”

Meng Lei’s gaze swept across the Behemoth Chief God. His divine body was strong and powerful, and he gave off astonishing divine power. The aura around him was much more powerful than the Behemoth Chief God whom Meng Lei had previously killed.

He was evidently a higher Chief God!

“You want to fight head-on with me?” Meng Lei shook his head with a smile and said, “Sure, I’ll satisfy your request!”

Meng Lei gave a grand wave and sent the Behemoth Chief God out of the Time Prison. The moment he appeared, the Behemoth Chief God let out a roar and smashed its fist toward Meng Lei.

His divine body was strong and powerful, and he possessed Herculean strength. His punch was powerful enough to smash any intermediate Chief God dead, and even most higher Chief Gods would have to shy away from it.

Unfortunately...

Meng Lei shook his head a little. A purplish-red ball of energy formed at his fingertip, becoming bigger and bigger. By the time the Behemoth Chief God’s fist reached him, the energy ball had already become as big as a basketball.

“Go!”

With a flick of Meng Lei’s fingers, the energy ball crashed full frontal into the Behemoth Chief God’s fist.

Buzz!

A shocking sight ensued—the iron fist that carried a fierce momentum and was mighty enough to smash the Nidhogg Continent into bits and pieces was instantly destroyed the moment it came into contact with the energy ball. As though it was a moth that had stumbled straight into bubbling lava, next was his forearm, his upper arm, and at last, his shoulder...

“How can this be?”

The Behemoth Chief God stared at his right arm that had soundlessly disappeared upon being destroyed, his eyes big and round. Shock and incredulity filled his eyes.

“No matter how powerful your divine body is, in the face of destruction laws of nature, it has no choice but to be destroyed and disappear!”

Meng Lei shook his head slightly. This was what destruction laws of nature were like—they soundlessly destroyed and wiped out everything without needing much ado.

A couple of breaths later, the energy ball continued to float undamaged in the air, whereas the Behemoth Chief God had vanished—for life. The energy ball had completely annihilated him, leaving behind nothing at all.

At the sight of this, the other 133 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison felt their scalps going numb.

“The power of destruction laws of nature!”

“Damn! That’s the power of destruction laws of nature!”
