Hail the King

Chapter 1069: Imperial Faith & Military Headquarters (Part One)

“Yassin?” Lionel Messi’s expression looked shy yet haughty. These two expressions were conflicting, but they somehow perfectly merged on his face.

“Lionel Messi?” Emperor Yassin looked calm and also had a gentle smile on his face.

“Yes, ‘Yassin is inferior to no one’. I heard this phrase many times when I was in the Western Region of Azeroth. Emperor Guardiola has also praised you many times and is a little afraid of you. I finally got to meet you today, and I realize that anyone famous must be unique in some ways. I’m surprised that you figured out how to use the power of faith. If you have another year, you would have merged the power of faith and condensed your divinity, right?” Messi slowly said those words.

It felt like these two weren’t mortal enemies.

“I only got a glimpse at that realm, but you already walked ahead of everyone. If I’m not wrong, you have already condensed divinity. Are you praising me or praising yourself?” The mocking smile on Emperor Yassin’s face intensified.

“Hehe.” Messi’s smile was calm as ever, and he didn’t look angry because of Emperor Yassin’s mockery. With the signature smile on his face, and he said, “That is right, I have already successfully condensed divinity.”

Hearing this, even people like Busquets, Mascherano, and Pedro’s faces changed color, and they thought, “Successfully condensed divinity. Does it mean that he already ascended from being a mortal and is now a god?”

Clearly, it was also these Barcelonans’ first time hearing such information, and they were all stunned.

“Your smile is always fake.” Emperor Yassin shook his head and said, “Although you are always smiling, you can’t hide the haughtiness from your body. Why don’t you show everyone your real side? Do you need to use this boring method for others to side with you? Do you think that your value is only shown when others acknowledge you? Or, are you hiding your true side for some other reason?”

Emperor Yassin’s words were sharp like blades, and clear mockery could be heard through his tone.

However, the smile on Messi’ face didn’t disappear. Instead, it intensified as Messi said, “Attack! Ignite your imperial faith! You can’t last long, right? Before you exhaust all your energy, show me your powerful strength! Don’t disappoint me!”

“Haha! You are still this fake! Although you are clearly angry, you are still smiling! Pathetic!” Emperor Yassin laughed, and a series of metal-grinding noises sounded. The fan of golden sword energies reappeared behind him, showing lethal and sharp power.

Emperor Yassin shouted, “Come on! Let me test how powerful the No.1 Young Lord is!  Let me know how powerful a god is compared to a mortal! Dragon Fist Sword Energy! Strike!”

Golden sword energies that were as radiant as the sun instantly dashed out and engulfed Messi who looked like an ordinary person.

-Imperial Military Headquarters-

The arrogant and dominating high-level officials of the Imperial Military Headquarters couldn’t be seen around here; no one knew where they went. Only half of the officials remained, and most of them were young military officers.

This building that represented the imperial military looked like a peacock who fell into a boiling pot, losing all presence and prestige. While Barcelonans roared and approached, it felt like this building was shivering in fear.

“Where are the people? Come out right now!”
