Huh? Are they all real?.

Although it is not as unique as other treasures, it can be used as soon as you get it. Moreover, it is indeed a treasure that is second only to unique treasures and far surpasses first-level sealed treasures, without having to pay any price.

Therefore, when these nineteen rings were given away, even though Moen did not forge the One Ring to control everything and to bewitch people.

This, however, still set the stage for tragedy.

"That's it"

Ned, who had been scrutinizing Moen, uttered this in a low voice.

Moen replied:

"Is there anything else you'd like to hear?"

Ned, who still couldn't understand how he could have lost, pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Then I want to know how to defeat you!"

After thinking about this question for a moment, Moen said very seriously:

"If you want to defeat me, then you cannot be my enemy."

Ned was so angry he laughed:

"Are you saying I can't win?"

"At least for now."

Ned's lips twitched again before he finally spoke:

"Then let me see if it's real or fake!"

Ned, now possessing ten times the strength he had before, charged toward Moen.

The entire space became visibly unstable.

It didn't turn into the spatial fragmentation seen in old novels.

Instead, there was a distortion of space itself and a fusion with the spirit world!

The barrier between the two worlds seemed utterly inadequate in the face of Ned's overwhelming power.

Such a sight made Moen stop and stare for a moment.

Because this was something he had never seen before.

No, have you really never seen it before?

Moen suddenly realized that he seemed not at all surprised by this theoretical first sight.

Before Moen could continue thinking, Ned had already arrived in front of him.

He then raised his hand and punched Moen in the chest.

That excessively powerful force nearly sent Moen crashing into the spirit world.

No frills, just power.

This is the sacrifice of the God of War.

At this moment, nothing of reality could be seen around Moen; all that remained was the bizarre and fantastical world of the spirits.

But this scene didn't last long, as he was thrown away by the huge impact.

Even if Ned gave everything, he still wouldn't be worthy of being compared to the Primal.

But his power was indeed far beyond that of a normal deity.

That's something that Moen can't withstand at the moment.

Seeing such a successful attack, Ned himself stopped in surprise.

He was completely stunned after delivering that terrifying punch.

How could that happen?

How could I have beaten him up so easily?

This was originally Ned's initial prediction, but after what just happened, he couldn't believe it anymore.

But facts are facts.

So after a moment of surprise, Ned was overjoyed:

"Hahaha, you're bluffing me! You know I'm terrified of you, so you're trying to turn the tables on me by using that, since you and I both know I don't have much time left!"

"What a brilliant move to turn a desperate situation into a life-saving one!"

Laughing, Ned strode across the distorted space that was being mended and repaired.

Moen, who had been knocked down by his punch, looked behind him in a daze.

What was originally just a sea of ​​flowers and the spirit realm in front of him, for a moment, allowed Moen to see an endless snowfield.

There are such places in the spirit world, but Moen just felt that they must be the strange tales and histories that he had sealed away!

In Moen's dazed state, Ned had already appeared in front of him and lifted him up.

"You almost fooled me, but it seems I've won after all, don't you think?"

His time was about to run out, but he could crush this god-enemy who had almost tricked him at any moment.

Moen ignored Ned and instead strained to look behind him, trying to catch a glimpse of the white world.

Unfortunately, aside from that fleeting glimpse, it was all just a momentary glimpse.

Moen saw nothing at all.

Ned was very dissatisfied with Moen's performance:

"What's wrong? Say something. Our feud is about to end completely. Aren't you going to say something?"

"Or are you still trying to trick me at this point?"

Seeing this, Moen could only helplessly raise his hand and grasp Ned's hand that was holding him, saying:

"No, it's just time to end this!"

Looking at Moen, whose hands were both on his own but who still couldn't exert any pressure on him, Ned smiled in bewilderment:

"Huh? How do you expect it to end? I think you're not even as good as a child right now."

Moen looked at him and said:

"You know about the new path, right? The newly fallen path of the new god."

"Of course I know. That represents the principle of return. No, what did you drink before I got up?"

Ned suddenly remembered something very important—as he began to offer everything, Moen lowered his head and took a sip of water.

Why would God need to drink water?

Moen laughed:

"The potion of advancement! I am currently in my past, so neither of them can see it, but for you now, there should be no difference between a mortal and a demigod."

"However, I hold the principle of return!"

"And then, I also want to thank you for bringing the Ring to me!"

In every word Moen uttered.

Ned first felt an intense heat emanating from his palm. It was as if the Ring was melting in his hand, something he couldn't resist at all.

Since he couldn't destroy the Ring, he couldn't let the other party get it, so he put it on his own hand.

This choice, which was neither clearly right nor wrong, completely destroyed his potential.

Then, to his utter horror, he saw that Moen, who had just been powerless to move him, had easily pried open his hand that was holding him.

Then they pressed him down and slowly made him kneel.

"how is this possible?"

"Even if you become Sauron, no, even if you add the Hermit and the Enemy of God, you will only barely reach the power I possess at my limit."

"How could you possibly be stronger than me now?"

Ned couldn't believe what he was seeing.

But the power emanating from his hands was undeniable.

His face flushed red as he asked his question:

"I am now so powerful that even the eldest sons have to retreat! I am confident that I can fight even the Abyss Child who returned back then. What makes you think you can do all this?"

Moen, who had pinned Ned down with one hand, looked at him and said:

"Sauron is no good, the Hermit is no good, and neither is the God Enemy. You are indeed so powerful that even I am having a headache."

"Therefore, to be on the safe side, I gave up on returning to be the builder of the labyrinth, because I don't remember what role I played in creating this labyrinth."

"What I have truly returned to is the origin of the Ring in your hand."

Ned's time was up, and Moen leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"The firstborn son!"

"Didn't I tell you, Ned? I said if you want to defeat me, then you can't be my enemy!"

Chapter 389 (Final Chapter) (4k)

Moen's voice echoed in Ned's ears.

The paleness around his body has gradually faded, and he is beginning to return to his original appearance.

Even though his existence was hidden in the shadows of history by his eldest sons, Ned, as a god, clearly still had some understanding of him.

Until today, he had always thought it was just a myth, even for gods.

But since the story is the truth, then the loss is not unjust.

The noble one who monopolizes primordial love is indeed beyond his reach.

So at this moment, his face looked like a shattered piece of porcelain, covered in cracks.

He gave up completely.

The inside of the crack is an empty void.

He has given everything; all that remains here is the remnant of Ned.

Even at this point, Ned still asked Moen his final question:

"Once the ritual is completed, the promotion process must begin immediately, or you will lose your eligibility for this promotion. How did you complete the ritual?"

The Sequence Four ritual was already quite large in scale.

That's not something that can be ignored.

So he didn't understand how Moen had been promoted.

If he had noticed the difference sooner, things might have been different.

He knew that the Ring could very well become a weapon in the enemy's hand, so since he couldn't destroy it, he chose to keep it close to his body to prevent any unforeseen events from happening.

Rather than the unknown, he preferred to believe that his own strength could prevent any accidents.

Unexpectedly, this backfired and ruined his promising situation.

But he was still unwilling to accept it, because if the One Ring was a mistake of his choice, then Moen's promotion was something he really couldn't understand at all.

When asked about this, Moen couldn't help but look at his hand, which was still adorned with the Ring.

This place used to be adorned with rings. It still is, and it seems likely to become even more so in the future.

Moen also remembered that when he received his first goddess ring, this was what he said to Queen Ansa:

"I need to leave you and go my own way to complete my promotion ceremony."

That wasn't the absolute truth, but it wasn't a lie either.

Because the ritual of Moen Sequence Four began at that time:

A grand journey that only I can complete.

From the initial Sequence 10 to the current Sequence 4.
