When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 593 - 249: No One Participates in the Battle

"Commander." The Magic Armor Masters at the courtyard saw Li Xiu and quickly gathered around to greet him.

Li Xiu gestured for them to continue their work, leaving only Qian Zhongshan behind.

"Zhongshan, who is the strongest Magic Armor Master in our technicians group?" Li Xiu didn’t look at the roster, as it couldn’t reveal much.

Mostly they were S-Class, A-Class and B-Class were rarely seen, and the roster only displayed codes and levels, providing no insight into which Magic Armor Master was truly strong.

After some thought, Qian Zhongshan said, "Among the Magic Armor Masters who can manipulate special Demon Armor, there are eight still alive. You’ve met Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu, but their specialty isn’t combat; they’re very useful for testing Magic Armor, but their actual combat power isn’t much stronger than the average S-Class Magic Armor Master."

"The remaining six Magic Armor Masters who can manipulate special Demon Armor go by the codenames Sword Saint, Gun Demon, Hua Mei, Feng Zheng, Loser, and Supreme Celestial God. They are currently guarding some special Trial Gates and can’t leave their posts without orders, so you haven’t met them."

After a pause, Qian Zhongshan added, "Sword Saint and Gun Demon are Magic Armor Masters recruited from outside, and they were friends even before joining. Now they guard the same Trial Gate and have an astonishing combat strength. To what extent, I’m not sure. After all, I’m just an ordinary S-Class, can’t manipulate special Demon Armor, and my level is far below theirs, so I can’t evaluate them.

"Hua Mei is a Magic Armor Master from Wansheng Town and the only female among the special Magic Armor Masters. Feng Zheng and Loser are Magic Armor Masters from minor families within Longevity City. I can’t really evaluate their strengths, but they should be on par, each having their own strengths and characteristics."

"Supreme Celestial God belongs to the Sun Family, one of the four great families, and theoretically, he should be the strongest among the Magic Armor Masters," Qian Zhongshan said.

"What do you mean by theoretically?" Li Xiu asked with interest.

Qian Zhongshan said, "Isn’t the strongest Magic Armor Master in the world known as God? The so-called strongest Magic Armor Skill, the Hand of God, was created by him. Supreme Celestial God is the only Magic Armor Master within our Longevity Heaven who can replicate the Hand of God. Other Magic Armor Masters have studied the Hand of God, but none have successfully replicated it."

"Oh, he can mimic the Hand of God." Li Xiu was a bit surprised. He had never seen a Magic Armor Master able to mimic his Hand of God, which made Li Xiu think of that imposter Magic Armor Master impersonating God, and he wondered, "Could this Supreme Celestial God be related to that imposter Magic Armor Master?"

"I’ve seen him use the Hand of God, so it shouldn’t be wrong," Qian Zhongshan said.

"Where is he now? Take me to see him." Li Xiu wanted to see what kind of Magic Armor Master this Supreme Celestial God was.

"Is the Commander thinking about the competition?" Qian Zhongshan asked.

"That’s right." Li Xiu nodded slightly.

"If it’s about the competition, I suggest you don’t go looking for Supreme Celestial God. You might want to consider other Magic Armor Masters," Qian Zhongshan suggested.

"Why do you say that?" Li Xiu asked in confusion.

"Supreme Celestial God is indeed the strongest, but he belongs to the Sun Family, one of the four great families. Having him represent our technicians group might not be appropriate, and his personality..." Qian Zhongshan hesitated and didn’t continue.

"What about his personality?" Li Xiu pressed.

"Though he’s a Magic Armor Master, he doesn’t think highly of them. He doesn’t mingle much with us, and since he’s a Super Spirit Tester himself and also part of the Sun Family, he didn’t follow orders even when Vice President Bai was in charge of the Magic Armor group. Vice President Bai couldn’t do much with him. If you want him to represent our technicians group in the competition, he might not be willing," Qian Zhongshan explained.

"Since he’s so unruly and has the backing of the Sun Family, why was he assigned to guard a Trial Gate?" Li Xiu mused.

"That’s of his own volition. Rather than guarding, it’s more like he wants to enter that Trial Gate, and guarding is just a convenience for him to go in and out of it," Qian Zhongshan said with a bitter smile.

"I see, take me to see him first then," Li Xiu said. He wasn’t necessarily insisting on having him represent the technicians group, but for someone who could mimic the Hand of God, he had to see for himself.

Qian Zhongshan said no more and took Li Xiu to find Supreme Celestial God.

The Trial Gate guarded by Supreme Celestial God was called the "Door of Evil Spirits," a very active Trial Gate, with demons often trying to break through.

When Li Xiu and Qian Zhongshan arrived at the Door of Evil Spirits, they found the place empty, with no sight of Supreme Celestial God.

"He must have entered the Land of Trial and who knows when he’ll be back," Qian Zhongshan said helplessly.

After some thought, Li Xiu said, "Assign someone to keep watch here. When Supreme Celestial God returns, tell him to wait for me here."

"Understood." Qian Zhongshan called over a Magic Armor Master to stand guard.

"Among the remaining Magic Armor Masters, who do you think is suitable to represent our technicians group in the competition?" Li Xiu asked Qian Zhongshan.

"Feng Zheng and Loser are from minor families within Longevity City which often depend on the four great families. When truly facing members of those families, they might not dare to fight with full force. Sword Saint and Sword Demon were recruited by Vice President Bai through a commander; whether they have any ties to Vice President Bai, I’m not sure. Hua Mei is from Wansheng Town and has no background. If the Commander can give her a chance, she might fight with all her strength. However, Hua Mei is relatively the weakest among them, so how to choose remains up to you, Commander," Qian Zhongshan described their situations without daring to decide for Li Xiu.
