Chapter 1523: Sandstorm and War God
Lines of glowing text appeared in front of the black Demon Dragon:
[Your wishing Causality Law had expended all of its power]
[Everything had returned to normal]
As the Demon Dragon read these words, the controlled Deities also questioned him in unison:
「 Creature whose mouth is still of lies. I created this world and oversaw its growth day by day. I remember every single individual and event that occurred, but everything that you’ve spoken of had never happened 」
Reneedol coldly chuckled then said: “So it was all a lie, no wonder I’ve never heard any true names at all”
She relaxed the technique in her hand.
——-Divine Skill: [True Name Search], it was completely useless.
The black Demon Dragon looked at the Deities, then looked at Reneedol.
「 Alright, I was deceiving you earlier, sorry about that 」
The Demon Dragon lowered his head to display his apology.
And then immediately flapped his wings to fly away.
——he fled.
There were truly no other solutions, other than flapping his mouth for a little bit, he couldn’t have possibly fought against so many Deities as well as Reneedol by himself.
If he could, there was no reason for Boss to take a risk in the first place.
「 That’s right, it was my fault earlier. I won’t interfere with you again from now on, continue with what you were doing before, do your best! 」
The black Demon Dragon’s voice could be heard from a distance.
He flew gradually further away until he was a tiny black dot in the snowstorm.
Continue?
Reneedol was surprised.
What was I doing just now?
She felt a bit shocked.
That’s right, I was killing these Deities under the Lord of Infinite Origins’ control.
Their existence itself represents a disturbance to me!
Reneedol grunted: “Manifest!”
Boundless starlight appeared from her neck, manifesting as a large hammer several times her size that she easily wielded in her slender hands.
The opposing Deities instantly spoke:
「 Deity of Fate, you dare to still oppose me, it seems you no longer want to live 」
Reneedol pondered, then casually replied: “You’re now busy with holding up the entirety of the Pantheon, I doubt that you have the chance to come here and personally influence my thoughts”
——what was the black dragon earlier doing?
It was Rhode’s transformation.
What was the reason that he came here to disturb us like this——- just a practical joke?
Similar to Shroud, Rhode is an unrestrained Deity.
If Fate had determined that the future lies in their hands, they must be extraordinary in one way or another.
Shroud had already shown his expected potential.
What about Rhode?
Everything he talked about earlier obviously did not occur in the past, and my [True Name Search] did not result in anything either.
Then for what reason did he talk for so long about things that he made up?
If his talents were similar to Shroud, what exactly was his strength?
Reneedol suddenly realized that she doesn’t seem to understand Rhode at all.
The more she thought about the past, the more confused she appeared to be, but Reneedol faintly realized something.
Rhode might be mysterious, but there was one thing about him that had never changed.
He cared about Shroud.
While Reneedol was thinking, the black Demon Dragon had already taken a large distance from everyone, quickly took off his [Reality’s Most Amorous Man] Title and changed into another.
He only hesitated for a tenth of a second before solemnly choosing a Title and activating it.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI to describe it:
[Equipped Title: Starflame War God]
[You’ve obtained the corresponding Unique Skill: Conquer]
[Conquer: When you use this ability, all targets you’ve chosen will be forced to attack you for a justified reason]
[Description: This ability belongs to the Mystic domain, a Causality Skill, cannot be immune against]
[To conquer or be conquered, that is the question]
He narrowed his vertical dragon eyes and shouted at the Deities in the distance: 「 Oi! You damned unchanging relics of the past! 」
He activated [Conquer].
The Deities were silent.
Including Reneedol, all of them turned to the Demon Dragon.
“Did you notice?” Reneedol asked.
「 Indeed, a very unique Causality Law power that’s compelling me to attack it 」the Lord of Infinite Origins borrowed the mouths of the Deities and spoke.
Reneedol glanced at the layers of dark light around her dress armor.
They didn’t react at all.
“——And it’s an unblockable Causality Law as well” Reneedol felt interested.
The faint realization from earlier was swiftly discarded.
A completely foreign and unblockable type of Causality power was right in front of her.
“This is definitely a power that’s worth exploring” she muttered.
It would be best for me to personally wield it as well!
At this point, the black Demon Dragon was also a bit unsure.
Would my Title Skill be useful against so many Deities, and even Reneedol who’s wielding two Divine Artifacts of Fate?
“War God UI?”
[I’m here]
A number was deducted from his UI.
“Would my [Starflame War God]’s ability be able to force them to attack me?”
[There are no guarantees in this world, except the fact that you can be absolutely confident in Titles that carry the suffix ‘War God’]
“I remember there was another Title called [Void War God]?”
[You have yet to obtain that Title, but the people in front of you are definitely not immune against Starflame War God, do not doubt it]
After that, the War God UI fell silent.
The black Demon Dragon felt assured.
From faraway, he shouted again: 「 Come here, this dragon can beat ten of you at once! You’re all going down after this! Come and fight me! 」
While saying that, he fled even faster.
While I have devoured the power of a few Deities, I would still not be a match for the Lord of Infinite Origins or Reneedol.
The only thing I can do right now is to use power that they’ve never seen before to attract them and stall time for Boss.
Under the current circumstances, this would be my one and only advantage!
Even if I have to expose some of my trump cards, it couldn’t be helped.
Both Reneedol and the Lord of Infinite Origins looked at the black dragon’s back and gradually fell silent.
The Lord of Infinite Origins said: 「 What a strange power, causing me to have this thought that cannot be dispelled, perhaps… 」
“Let’s beat him, tie him up, then question him about where this power came from” Reneedol added.
A short moment of silence.
At the very next moment, all of them set out towards the black Demon Dragon at the same time.
Seeing that, the black Demon Dragon silently laughed.
Now that I’ve taken enough distance away, combined with [Ground Shrink] and [Shadow Shift], did you think you’d really be able to catch me?
The black Demon Dragon flapped his wings and flew into the snowstorm.
After a while, noticing that they were getting closer, he instantly used his Divine Skill——–
[Ground Shrink]!
His figure vanished, then reappeared at a distance—–
Bam!!!
A resounding sound of collision.
The black Demon Dragon had crashed into the void of space. Enduring the pain, he tried to force his way through, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t go through this invisible barrier.
「 Fool! This world was originally a sealing ground, it can only be so big, where else are you trying to run to? 」the Deities all laughed.
They approached even closer.
The black Demon Dragon shook his head and temporarily fell into a tough situation.
He currently has the following choices available to himself:
One, to undo [Starflame War God]’s skill, but from what he can tell, they would still not let him go even if he did that.
Two, to activate the warp formation he hid inside the snow, thus returning to Boss, Scarlet, and Little Dusk’s side, but that would definitely expose Boss’ current state.
The black Demon Dragon released his inner sight.
Only to see that Boss’ figure had been completely obscured within a mass of crimson light.
——-as if he had proceeded to a pivotal point.
Then, to buy time for Boss, I only have one choice left.
The black Demon Dragon returned to human form and took a dark green bow from the void of space.
——-this was a Dreamscape Soul Artifact that Lady Fusi had given him!
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing Shan drew the bowstring.
An arrow manifested at his fingertips, nocked on the bowstring following his gesture.
A moment of silence.
The sound of thunder resounded throughout the sky.
The arrow disappeared in a flash.
In the far distance, a Deity caught the arrow with his hand.
But it was meaningless, as his entire body began to melt starting from his hand into a mass of corrosive liquid that dripped to the earth.
The Deities were shocked.
He clearly stopped it, but it still managed to kill a Deity, what kind of power was this?
「 Strange… I’ve never seen this power either… 」the Lord of Infinite Origins muttered with a strange tone.
Gu Qing Shan held the bow tightly as his presence gradually rose.
Ever since arriving in this era, absorbing the power of the Law of Death, then the power of several Deities, his strength had gone far beyond that of a normal Deity in this era.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[As you’ve become stronger, you can now utilize a higher level of power of the Dreamscape Soul Artifact: Bow of Fallen Souls]
[This bow’s ‘Withering’ and ‘Corroding Essence’ powers had fused together and became a greater supernatural power, Sandstorm]
[Sandstorm: All things and all living beings you strike with his bow will be completely dissolved into sand in the wind that scatters in this world]
[Attention: Only after your personal strength had grown stronger once more would you be able to exert more powerful abilities from this Dreamscape Soul Artifact]
Gu Qing Shan focused his thoughts.
Five arrows of sand manifested in the void of space, which he nocked on the bowstring with one hand.
Psh—– bang!
Another thunderstrike.
Five arrows shot in five arcs through the void of space towards the Deities.
All the Deities scattered to avoid the arrows.
The shoulder of one Deity was grazed by an arrow, causing his entire body to scatter into sand and disappear without a trace.
“What a powerful bow!”
Reneedol’s gaze was sharp.
She turned to Rhode.
Shroud was able to utilize ‘that power’.
Then what about Rhode?
Where does his power come from?
Reneedol casually unleashed an attack towards Gu Qing Shan.
“I see, so I only need to attack him just once for this Causality Law to disappear” Reneedol muttered.
What a miraculous power.
——–what goal could Rhode have, revealing so many strange things?
The faint realization from before became clear in Reneedol’s mind.
Reneedol abruptly turned around towards Shroud.
A mass of crimson light had completely enveloped that place.
Reneedol almost shouted out loud.
“He——- he’s in the middle of replacing the Lord of Infinite Origins!”
A twisted expression of madness gradually crawled onto Reneedol’s beautiful face.
