I, the Weakest Human, Start with a Hundredfold Bonus Talent！ - Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Chapter192-A Glimpse from the Divine
“John, you can’t seriously be considering this, can you?”

“Do you have a better idea at this point?”

John turned to meet Deception’s gaze.

Deception felt as if he saw a flash of cold light in John’s eyes, though it was only for an instant…

“How can you guarantee that after getting the Authority, he won’t just turn around and kill us?”

“Right now, Miles holds all the cards and we have none. He’s right; we don’t have the leverage to negotiate.

Miles, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll give you what you want.”

Hearing this, Miles suddenly smiled.

“John, you’ve made a wise choice. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.”

“John! Absolutely not!”

Deception grabbed John by the collar, his face flushed with anger as he roared, “You’re going to get us all killed!”

“I can’t gamble with their lives.”

John gave a bitter smile, gently broke free from Deception, and turned to Miles.

“My condition is that after you get the Authority, you go to Spartonia City immediately to stop the Hunt and War. You must ensure that none of my companions are harmed.”

“No problem, I promise you.”

Miles agreed without hesitation, his eyes growing more fervent.

“In that case…”

John sighed softly, reached out, and gently plucked a hair from his head, saying solemnly, “Eat this, and you’ll gain Deception’s Authority.”

“John, you better not be up to any tricks!”

“Enough! I’ve already agreed to your terms, and yet you keep nagging. If it comes down to it, we’ll fight. I’ll kill you right now! As for that damn Leviathan, so what if I die? You think I haven’t died before?”

Faced with Miles’ repeated provocations, John’s expression darkened as his wings spread open and he lunged at Miles!

Seeing this, Miles retreated quickly, explaining, “Calm down, John! Calm down. Just give me the hair, and I’ll eat it.”

Watching the enraged John, Miles felt a pang of fear.

If it really came to a fight, he wasn’t entirely confident he could defeat John.

After all, compared to sheer strength, he was more of a strategist. Although he knew some spells, they required time to chant. John’s array of tactics made it highly likely that he could turn the tables.

If it could be avoided, he didn’t want to become enemies with John. He had hoped to leverage the situation with Leviathan to pressure John a bit, but he hadn’t expected John to flip the table so quickly.

“Miles, this is your last warning. If you utter one more word of nonsense, I will kill you!”

“…”

Meeting John’s fierce gaze, Miles remained silent. He took the hair from John’s hand, rolled it into a ball, and swallowed it.

In an instant, Miles could feel a terrifying power transferring into his body, filling every corner of his being!

“This feeling…”

Miles spread his arms wide, a fervent smile appearing on his face as he began to laugh maniacally.

“Power! Power coursing through me! Finally… finally!”

The laughter abruptly stopped as Miles lowered his gaze, looking straight at John.

“John, I should thank you.”

“Cut the crap. Don’t forget what you promised me.”

“Promised you? Yes, that’s right, I promised you. So now, I’ll send you on your way.”

Miles smirked, a magic circle forming in front of him, quickly converging into a beam of light that shot towards John!

Seeing this, Deception’s face darkened.

“I knew it! This bastard was definitely lying!”

“Yes, I lied. So what? Without the Authority, your power is greatly diminished. Do you think you can still defeat me now?”

Miles pointed a finger, over a dozen magic circles forming behind him, locking onto John.

But John showed no fear; instead, he smirked.

“Yes, you really fooled me.”

“What do you mean? Do you think you still have a chance to turn the tables?”

“Miles, open your eyes and take a good look. What Authority do you think you obtained that made you so happy?”

“Of course it’s…”

Miles froze mid-sentence, his expression suddenly turning from joy to horror.

“This… this can’t be! It’s impossible! This is your trickery, you’re deceiving me!”

“Did you really think you were the only one noticed by the gods?

God of Light and Prophecy, it sounds impressive, but I wonder how it compares to Hades?”

“Impossible… absolutely impossible! How could you be worthy of gaining the gaze of that entity?”

“So, you didn’t foresee this future? It seems your abilities are still too limited. You have the ambition of a wolf, but if you weren’t so greedy, you might have been harder to deal with. But now, good luck.”

Hearing this, Miles’ expression changed, but before he could speak again, he felt a gaze upon him.

It was from a place deeper than the deepest sea, an eternal river of the dead flowing day and night.

A castle built of flesh and bones, and within that castle, on a throne.

A pair of eyes were staring at him unblinkingly.

“H-Hades!”

Boom!

Miles’ body began to inflate like a balloon, his pupils popping out of their sockets, expanding to more than twice their normal size.

Until his body could no longer bear the immense pressure, with a muffled bang, Miles exploded into a mist of blood, dispersing into the air.

Seeing this, John wasn’t surprised at all. He calmly reached out and collected Hades’ Authority along with the golden ring that hadn’t been destroyed in the explosion.

[God of Light’s Ring]

[Quality]: Demigod-tier accessory

[Attributes]: Wearing this increases Wisdom by 90%, raises spell proficiency to level three, reducing chanting time by 60%.

Raising spell proficiency to level five allows spellcasting without chanting.

Raising spell proficiency to level seven increases spell power by 50%.

Automatically grants mastery over light spells upon wearing.

Undoubtedly, this was another extremely powerful piece of equipment, most likely from the God of Light and Prophecy.

As soon as John wore it, hundreds of light spells appeared in his mind, ranging from buffs to healing, and large-scale offensive spells, covering all bases.

It was no exaggeration to say that this one piece of equipment was enough to compensate for John’s current lack of offensive means.

“But, I didn’t expect Hades to actually help me. I thought it would be more troublesome,” John said, turning to Deception with a grin.

“Looks like my acting was pretty convincing, huh? Even you were fooled.”

“Who said I didn’t see through it? I was just playing along with you! Besides, don’t get cocky. It’s just that Miles didn’t know Hades had given his Authority to you. Otherwise, do you think you could have tricked him so easily?” Deception retorted, still stubbornly refusing to admit he was fooled.

Alright, he had to admit that he was genuinely scared earlier, worried that John might hand over their trump card in a moment of rashness. Luckily, John didn’t do that.

“Seeing how greedy he was, it was clear he had no intention of keeping his promise. Only if I were out of my mind would I make a deal with him…” John didn’t finish his sentence before everything went black, and he lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Deception was startled and quickly caught John to prevent him from falling.

“What’s going on? Isn’t Miles dead? What are you doing now? John, John!” Deception shook John vigorously, but John’s consciousness had already been forcibly dragged into the underworld and could no longer hear Deception’s calls.

Facing the indifferent expression of Hades on his throne, John swallowed nervously and forced a sycophantic smile.

Okay, John had a premonition that Hades might cause trouble for him.

After all, he had involved Hades without his permission, which might have caused significant issues for him.

John hadn’t expected the retribution to come so swiftly, with Hades forcefully summoning him to the underworld!

“L-Lord, long time no see.”
