Arm Wrestling

At this moment, the chess had reached its final moment.

Charles had checkmated Octobun from three pieces.

Queen! Bishop! Knight!

Because of this, he had lost.

"The winner of this battle is Charles. Congratulations! Charles!"

Alan swept down and patted his shoulder.

The table, chair, and chessboard disappeared. Octobun also returned to his place, but his head was down the whole time.

On the other hand, Charles excitedly returned to his place.

His superpower helped him win this battle. Nothing made him more excited than this.

"Ahem! By the way, since we have finished the second game, I need to mention a hidden rule of these games."

Everybody immediately turned their attention to Alan, who said.

"The game can end at any moment. If you want to make sure nothing goes wrong, the number of wins must be the same between the two of you."

"This is wrong."

Suddenly, Commander Peace raised his voice.

Alan nodded his head.

"I know."

Everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't understand how someone could be this biased in sports.

"You know I don't have to let this game decide your future. I can do it on my own. But I chose to start these games for a certain reason."

"I won't tell you my reasons. Just know, you are playing my games. You play by my rules."

At this moment, Alan couldn't help but laugh inside.

He was totally biased towards humans. But this was also because he was human before.

And he had read quite a lot of novels. Every single time humans faced facing alien race in a certain competition, humans would often face an unfair situation.

Facing someone stronger than you? Is that even fair?

No, it happened because heroes need to come out on top after experiencing despair.

Now that he was a Demon Lord, he could do anything he wished.

"So, if you lose the next game, your group will be disqualified entirely."

"Fortunately for you, the next game is an Arm Wrestling Game."

As he said, the little God from God Race immediately stood up.

"It's my turn to shine."

He walked forward with immense confidence.

God Race was known for two things.

Elemental Powers and Divine Power!

When combined, they could do a planetary feat as a child, like lifting the weight of an entire planet and even crushing the moon with a single punch.

So when he stood up, others didn't say a word.

From the side of humans, John came forward.

Just like the one from God Race, no one said a word when he walked forward.

Unlike other races, humans had awakened superpowers.

Their superpowers could be anything from something as small as shooting an energy blast from their hands to lifting the entire planet with telekinesis.

That's why when Alan awakened his superpower, he awakened the mightiest power of the universe.

John awakened a superpower known as 'Nuclear Blast'.

But unlike other people, he didn't use his ability to create a nuclear explosion outside his body.

Instead, he ignited a nuclear explosion within his body.

As a Platinum-ranked superhero and someone who had been using nuclear fusion inside the body for as long as he had superpowers, he could generate the energy at the same level as the sun.

And since he never used nuclear power outside his body, he had mainly used it to increase his strength.

That's why he was the best option humans had in this game.

Alan snapped his finger, and a table appeared. Unlike the previous one, it was small but extremely durable.

"The rules of arm wrestling apply here, and except for that, there are no rules. So, contestants!"

At his signal, they placed their dominant arm on the table and caught each other's hands.

As soon as they caught each other's hands, both ignited their powers at the same time.

Divine Power!

Nuclear Blast!

"Start"

Alan suddenly raised his head toward the sky and shouted.

The level of power they showed was massive. The ground shook beneath them. It was quite outstanding considering they were only Planetary level in strength.

And the stadium that Alan created could easily withstand the might of a star destruction level.

They tried to push each other down, but both found each other's strength equal to theirs.

"How can this be? Isn't he only a multi-moon buster level? How can he contend with our people in strength?"

God Race Commander clenched his fist and asked.

Hearing this, Commander Peach gave him a disdainful look and said.

"Don't you even check the experiments Coltinip did on humans? His experiment was to explore how Cosmic Energy reacted to the genes of humans."

"The reaction was quite extraordinary, but he also put a strong restriction on their genes. This gave them different abilities but also restricted them from using the full potential of those abilities."

"The only one who broke this restriction was the newest Demon Lord."

Hearing his words, God Race Commander turned toward Shadow Race with a strong murderous intent.

"Why didn't you let others destroy this race before? If we had destroyed them earlier, none of this would've happened."

"You will never get the answer to this question. But I believe it is simply because Coltinip wanted to find the secrets behind Ultimate Evolution."

Shadow Race Commander replied with a gloomy tone.

Supreme Commander of Cheese Race nodded and said.

"Before coming here, Demon Lord used my weapons to destroy many leaders of the Shadow Race. He is pretty good to humans. So, it makes sense that he would take revenge for them."

"Your weapon?"

Commander Peach asked.

Supreme Commander's expression darkened as he hoarsely replied.

"Time Erasing Cannon!"

At this moment, other races showed a look of disbelief.

Supreme Commander shrugged his shoulder and said.

"What? I can't stop him from doing whatever he wants. Besides, it is our intelligence that makes us great, not the power. So, taking that cannon from my hand is no difficult feat for him."

"You bastard!"

Shadow Race Commander almost went into rage, but Alan simply glanced at him and made him overcome his rage.

At this moment, the arm wrestling between Little God and John was reaching its climax.

Little God was sweating and feeling overwhelmed. His eyes turned red as he roared towards John.

"Why? Why do you possess this kind of power? This is the power only gods should possess."

John clicked his tongue and said.

"Because, unlike your godly power, I use the power of the universe. Nuclear Fusion! The same power that keeps the star alive is my superpower."

"The more I use this ability, the more energy I can create. Although I have a limit, I can keep producing energy until my body breaks down."

"Don't you understand, little god? We humans are fighting for our fate. Your race can decide the life and death of our race with just a thought, but now we have a chance of turning things around."

"So, even if we have to sacrifice ourselves, we will win."

"Ahhhhh!"

John increased the Nuclear Fusion process in his body, combining two parts of Cosmic Energy into one under extreme pressure and heat generated by his power.

This turned his body into a furnace. It was steaming red like a cooked lobster.

But the energy produced during the process was vitalizing his cells and enhancing their powers.

This was like a short empowerment. But it was more than enough to gain enough strength to press Little God down.

Of course, the Little God wasn't just going down so easily.

In such a situation, he decided to burn his Divine Power, gaining a short boost in his strength.

He went from someone who could destroy multiple moons to someone who could destroy a planet.

This pushed them to a similar level.

'No, I can't lose here. If I win here, our future is set. I must win. For humanity, for Mathew, for our future.'

John gritted his teeth and started outputting more energy. This time, his body cells started breaking down.

His blood became hotter than plasma, and his bones started turning black.

His skin started melting, and his muscles were cooked.

It's just that when he became something like this, the Little God who grew up eating the meat of other races and drinking their blood smelled heavenly delicacy.

It smelled so good that he forgot about the arm wrestling and started drooling.

Bang!

John instantly got the advantage and smashed the Little God's hand on the ground.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

God Race Commander stomped his foot on the ground. He was angered, but he couldn't blame Little God.

After all, this happened because of their culture.

"I guess we don't have to play any more games. The Human Race has won their third game, and with this win, they have successfully secured their future."

Pa!

Alan clapped his hands, and suddenly the stadium disappeared. John was sent to the human side while the Little God was sent to the God Race commander.

Suddenly, a loud voice startled everyone.

"Demon Lord, your trick can't deceive us."
