OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

Chapter 148: Chapter 147: Joining the Black Scriptures



The High Priest of Light was about to speak up for Nana, but another person spoke first.

"There's no need to be so harsh," said the Highest Priest.

The moment he laid eyes on Nana, he saw that she was different. She was someone who had been on the edge of life and death countless times.

It was normal for her to have hostility toward strangers.

"What's your name?" the Highest Priest asked.

"Nana," she replied.

"Do you want to join the Black Scriptures?"

Nana nodded.

"Come with me. We'll find an opponent for you and test your strength."

The Highest Priest led the way, guiding everyone toward the outer areas of the temple.

The Highest Priest casually asked one of the Holy Knights to inform the strongest human of the Tenth Seat of the Black Scriptures to test Nana's strength.

The strongest human possessed exceptional defensive power, so having him fight Nana should result in neither of them suffering significant injuries.

Originally, the Eighth Seat was supposed to handle this task, but since he had been killed once, his strength had not yet fully recovered.

Soon, the strongest human arrived in front of the Highest Priest.

"May I ask, Highest Priest, what do you need from me?"

"Please test the strength of this little girl," the Highest Priest said.

"Not a problem!"

The strongest human was a towering man, nearly 3 meters tall, with arms as thick as a normal person's waist.

The strongest human was completely covered in muscle, and his appearance exuded a sense of security.

"Come on, little girl! Show me your full strength!" the strongest human said, looking at Nana.

"Are you sure you want me to go all out? If I do, you might die," Nana calmly said, something that made everyone present doubt her words.

"Hahaha, little girl, give it your best shot! My skin is tough, and my muscles are thick, there's no way you can defeat me," the strongest human laughed and said to Nana.

Hearing his words, Nana took out her dagger, and her aura instantly changed.

Just as Nana was about to launch her attack, the strongest human interrupted her.

"Wait! Let's fight barehanded!" the strongest human said.

When Nana took out the dagger earlier, the strongest human felt like the little girl in front of him could actually kill him.

He then remembered "Antilene Heran Fouche," the combat pinnacle of the Slane Theocracy.

He believed that Nana was similar to "Antilene Heran Fouche," a divine being, a descendant of the Six Great Gods with extraordinary talent.

In order to ensure his own safety, the strongest human backed down.

"Alright!" Nana agreed to his suggestion.

This made several of the high-ranking priests think that the strongest human was being overly cautious. After all, she was just a little girl. It was embarrassing for someone with the title of "strongest human" to be afraid of a little girl and not let her use a weapon.

Some of them even began to wonder if they should give the strongest human a new title, like "most cowardly human."

Of course, such thoughts were just fleeting ideas; bringing them up would only cause unnecessary conflict.

Nana sheathed her dagger and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

At that moment, the sky was clear and bright, the sun shining brilliantly.

"An incredibly powerful invisibility skill!!!"

The group of high-ranking priests was shocked. This kind of skill, even including "Antilene Heran Fouche," was something no human in the Slane Theocracy had been able to master until now.

Ordinary invisibility could only be used in dim lighting.

But for such a clear, sunny day with no clouds in the sky, using an invisibility skill was almost impossible.

Moreover, after Nana activated her invisibility, no one in the entire area could detect any sound from her.

Even the High Priest of Darkness, who specialized in researching such magic, couldn't find any trace of Nana.

"Just as I thought, this little girl must be a divine being," the strongest human thought to himself as he watched Nana vanish from his sight.

As the strongest human was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a hand strike toward his neck.

The strongest human turned around and reached out with his hand, but he grabbed nothing.

From the perspective of the priests observing the match, the strongest human inexplicably turned and swiped at the air.

At that moment, Nana revealed herself, standing directly above the strongest human's head.

The strongest human had no idea.

He was still looking around, searching for Nana's figure.

The strongest human weighed a ton, while Nana, with her small and slender body, was incredibly light and agile.

Furthermore, earlier, Nana had used her killing intent to draw the strongest human's attention, and now he was completely unaware of her presence.

From the priests' vantage point, the strongest human appeared like a clumsy fool, scanning the area as he searched for Nana.

"She's above your head!" one of the priests, unable to watch any longer, shouted a reminder.

The strongest human looked up, only to see a shoe sole heading straight for his face.

Nana stomped on the strongest human's face and then lightly landed on the ground.

The strongest human, using all his strength, threw a punch at Nana.

Nana, not willing to back down, kicked in return.

Everyone expected Nana's leg, including her foot, to break from the force of the blow.

But the result shocked everyone. Nana's strength was completely on par with the strongest human's.

At this point, Nana was at level 50. During her battles in the Holy Kingdom, she had earned a significant amount of experience from demihumans, bringing her level to the 50th threshold.

The strongest human, on the other hand, was only at level 46. Originally, his level cap had been set at level 40.

The strongest human had reached his current strength through his own determination and relentless effort, continuously breaking through his level cap.

But effort is meaningless in the face of talent.

There's a saying that goes, "Genius requires 99% hard work and 1% talent."

But that 1% of talent can make the difference between two people being worlds apart.

At this moment, the strongest human wasn't particularly surprised by Nana's strength.

He had once challenged the leader of the first seat in the Black Scriptures, Black Scripture Captain, and had been thoroughly convinced by their overwhelming power.

Before the battle, he had already been certain that Nana was a divine being.

Her slender legs, yet matching the strength of his incredibly muscular arms, appeared very strange.

But it was the truth.

"Far beyond the Heroic Realm!" High Priest of Light exclaimed.

He had never imagined that Nana's strength would be this powerful.

Her strength was ridiculously powerful.

It's important to note that she was only 8 years old.

Antilene Heran Fouche had reached the Heroic Realm at the age of 15, and the Black Scripture Captain had reached it at 16.

Comparing that, Nana's talent was completely unprecedented.

Nana noticed the reactions of the group with the corner of her eye and felt quite pleased inside.

It was obvious that they were all shocked. This meant that joining the Black Scripture in the Slane Theocracy was now a done deal.

The strongest human triggered his potential and reached level 47 at that moment.

His strength increased considerably, but he still couldn't use his prideful strength to push Nana back.

Nana glanced at the strongest human, retracted her leg, and threw a punch.

Both feet were firmly planted on the ground, allowing her to fully unleash her strength.

The two fists collided, and the strongest human was directly forced back, stumbling and falling to the ground.

He looked at Nana in disbelief.

"Do you surrender?" Nana asked calmly.

"Never!"

The strongest human got up and charged at Nana again.

He launched a continuous barrage of attacks, but Nana merely dodged each one without countering.

As a ninja, Nana's most critical attribute was her speed.

Her speed had now surpassed 2000 in value. Even if ten Clementines surrounded her, they likely wouldn't be able to defeat her.

Seeing that the situation was about right, Nana swept in with a sweep kick, knocking the strongest human to the ground.

However, at the moment the strongest human fell, he grabbed onto Nana's ankle.

Just as he was about to exert force to fling Nana and smash her to the ground,

Nana acted first. The leg he had grabbed swung with full force in the opposite direction, taking the strongest human's body along with it.

The strongest human was thrown onto the ground on the other side. He tried once again to use his arm to hurl Nana away,

but there was no way his reaction speed could match Nana's.

Before he could even use his strength, Nana had already flung him away again.

Seeing that he refused to let go, Nana continued to slam him into the ground repeatedly.

"This guy is so annoying. If it weren't for wanting to be useful to Chino-niisan, I'd have killed him long ago," Nana thought to herself as she looked at the strongest human.

The strongest human, being thrown around repeatedly, thought to himself that Nana probably didn't have much stamina and would soon run out of energy.

Yet after being thrown over twenty times, Nana still showed no signs of exhaustion, while the strongest human was already dizzy and disoriented from the tossing. Feeling groggy and unable to continue, he had no choice but to let go.

The moment he let go, Nana's anger flared. She kick the strongest human a few times, and the strongest human was hurled like a missile, crashing into a nearby building.

The priests and officials of the Slane Theocracy stood there, watching Nana, unable to calm themselves for a long time.

"This goes beyond genius—she's a monster," one of them finally remarked.

Many priests had already started doubting whether Nana was even human.

Meanwhile, Nana didn't think she had gone too far. Although she was incredibly powerful, her mindset was still that of an 8-year-old child.
