Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 72: Gathering competition

Obek looked at Atlan and noticed that he wasn't reacting the way he was supposed to. He still stood there silently, as if he wasn't affected by Razer's tyrannical mutation.

Pretending to be strong, are you? Hmph. Soon, you'll see the difference.

He thought that Atlan was simply making it look like he wasn't affected by Razer's words.

The thought that Atlan somehow resisted the oppressive words of Razer never even showed up in his mind. After all, Obek knew that the 'Word of the All-Father' mutation was nothing less than a 7-star mutation! That meant that Razer also had a 7-star genus that changed his bloodline into a demigod under Zeus' lineage.

And he was not the only one who thought that. Even the nine geniuses from Mount Olympus saw Atlan's stoic face as nothing more than a mask to hide the pain and suffering in his mind. Not even they could stand there unfazed by Razer's mutated attack.

Razer was also a 4th stage Student, and from what they knew, he was the person with the highest power realm in this entire party. So, Atlan couldn't have possibly resisted the attack.

They didn't even know that Atlan was a porter. If they knew, then they would be more convinced that he just pretended to be unaffected by it.

Of course, Atlan's Physique was able to counteract Razer's oppression quite easily. He wasn't even thinking about it anymore.

Atlan was more curious about the fact that Mutations could be so different. Just like what other people said, they were more like LifeSkills than normal body part mutations.

"We can't just let them be the only ones to show off their strengths, right? It is only appropriate that we return their kind gesture and show off how strong we Genesians are! I'm happy to announce that the 'Gathering of the Stars' will soon commence!"

As soon as Obek said that, the whole party erupted in an excited frenzy. They seemed to know what that entailed, while Atlan remained clueless.

"I can't wait to see who wins!"

"That Razer guy is pretty strong. I think he'll win. And even the boys and girls next to him all look like strong contenders."

"Hey now. You can't discount our resident genius. Yasmine is also an S class genius that can hold up her own against someone like him."

"Either way, I'm excited to see what'll happen!"

Judging from the reactions beside him, Atlan guessed that there was going to be some kind of competition between the Olympians and the Genesians. Razer did say that he visited this City to exchange pointers. Does that mean that in the other Cities they've visited, they also had some sort of competition with the others?

"Since they have nine of them representing the Olympus Mountain Range, I have also picked out the nine geniuses in our City to compete."

Obek then took out a list from his pocket and started to say the names of the people he enlisted to compete against the foreigners.

"First of all, we have Yasmine Sayed! She is an S class DPS at the 3rd stage Student realm!"

Everyone's eyes were pulled to the side as Yasmine walked down the stairs with a cold expression. She didn't greet anybody and simply stood opposite Razer, glaring at him with a competitive spirit. Competing against such geniuses was the only reason she agreed to join the party.

But try as she might, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at the unassuming boy at the edge of the crowd. Focus! she reminded herself.

"Next, of course, is me: Obek Orioness! As I am a Paladin with the Genesis' God's grace, it is only natural that I become one of his representatives in this competition."

Even though nobody in the party considered Obek as a viable candidate, they couldn't very well argue with him. After all, he was the one who arranged this whole thing.

"Next…"

Obek continued to bring out the names of other people in the party.

Once they heard the names, everyone was relieved to see that they were actual geniuses who could stand a chance against the Olympians. They joined the list not because of their family name, but because they were talented in their own right.

"I think we stand a chance here…"

"Yeah, but it all depends if we can overcome Razer…"

It was a mixed bag of Saviors, all of whom were in the 3rd stage. Obek was the only one in the 2nd stage.

There were two berserkers, one DPS (Yasmine), two rangers (an archer and a gunslinger), a paladin (Obek), a warrior, and a monk.

There was just one spot left. One of the men with a one-handed sword stepped up, expecting Obek to say his name.

However, everyone was suddenly surprised to hear that Obek changed the last participant.

"There's been a change of plans. I didn't think he would come, but now that he's here, I think we should give him a chance.

Let's give it up for that Porter over there!"

Obek pointed directly at Atlan with a devious smile on his face.

This was the only way he could think of to finally put that porter back in his place.

In this competition, Atlan would undoubtedly be crushed and left behind by much greater geniuses than himself. Obek imagined him stumbling cluelessly in the competition, becoming completely useless.

And because of Atlan's horrible performance, the Olympians would break away and win the competition. Everyone would be humiliated and they would finally put the blame on the useless porter who couldn't do anything.

Everyone waited in silence for Atlan's response. Of course, he could refuse to participate in the competition, but that was also in Obek's plan. He would simply berate Atlan for being a coward and label him as a false hero.

"Wait, he's only a porter? I don't think it's appropriate for him to join. No offense to the guy, but this competition is a high-stakes battle between damage-dealing Saviors.

We won't hold ourselves back and use the full extent of our LifeSkills. We can't endanger the SoulTime of such an essential Savior."

One of the women with brown hair on the Olympian side spoke up.
