The Medallion novel Chapter 1666

Soon, the beam of light landed on a figure, and all the members of the Shura Race turned to see who it had chosen.

The famous Esteban was standing next to the figure bathed in light, dumbfounded and furious.

He never expected this would be the man the divine light would choose.

Even Rocky himself was at a loss as to whether he should laugh or cry because, sure enough, the light was shining on him.

While he didn't know why he was chosen, he knew he was not equipped to deal with this situation.

The plot was thickening. Since he was chosen, he was to inherit the divine power. The Godly Genius was revered in the Shura Race; he or she was the medium between them and the gods, like an oracle.

But the divine power would put Rocky's real identity at risk.

Although Rocky had become object of envy, he felt quite unhappy, uncertain as to what would happen next.

Meanwhile, Esteban was quite grim as well. He was worried that Rocky's human identity would be exposed by the god. He shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Well, that's it then," a voice boomed. "It seems that the gods has made the choice. Congratulations! Please come up here!" Gilbert's eyes were fixed on Rocky. Although he felt that Rocky looked very ordinary, he figured there was more than met the eye and believed that the gods' choice was correct.

Rocky didn't budge. Instead, he shot a glance at Esteban, who was standing next to him.

"What are you waiting for? Go!" Esteban hissed, putting on a stern expression. He had no choice but to respect the decision.

Rocky smiled helplessly. Then he made his way through the crowd until he reached the square in the front. There, he stood before Gilbert.

Just then, the divine light whipped back to the center of the square and transformed into a portal.

"Greetings, sir!" Rocky bowed respectfully.

"You have been chosen to become the Godly Genius of the Ghost Capital. From now on, you are the guardian of this city. Now, receive the power from the oracle." Gilbert gestured towards the shining portal.

"Well... the thing is... Can I refuse?" Rocky asked hesitantly. He thought it'd be best if he didn't beat around the bush and turned the offer down frankly.

The crowd let out a collective gasp. It was the ultimate honor to be selected as a Godly Genius. If Rocky refused this honor, he was either crazy or downright stupid!

"Stop talking nonsense! To receive such a gift is the highest honor. How can you not accept it? Hurry up!" Gilbert shot Rocky a murderous glare.

Rocky sighed inwardly. He knew it'd be more troublesome to be stubborn here, so he reluctantly walked towards the shining portal.

As he walked, there were all kinds of exclamations and jeers of envy around the square.
