Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 969: The Battle of the Great Divine Powers (Part 1)

As the God of Light faced the raging Master of Order, he did not show any fear but instead smiled broadly.

“Haha! I see that you can get angry as well!” the God of Light said heartily and evilly as he dodged the attacks by the Master of Order. “I originally assumed that you were really devoid of emotion and only focused on keeping the order of this world fully. Now that I’ve managed to tear down your ‘selfless’ facade, you’ve finally shown your true feelings as well!”

“Yes, I’m angry. I thought I was devoid of emotions in the past as well, just like how I thought you could bring some good changes to this world. Well, the current situation has proved me wrong. I do have feelings, and you are unable to bring any good to this world!” The Master of Order’s voice was no longer neutral and calm like before. Instead, it was increasingly emotional, strict and fierce, with a murderous tone. “You are the scourge that this world does not need!”

The God of Light was beaten up badly by the Master of Order, yet he continued to taunt him. “If you really felt that I was the scourge of this world, why did you not eliminate me sooner? With your powers now, if you used this amount of strength on me before, I probably would not have lasted till now even with my level of strength.”

“Previously, I was still hopeful, but I was wrong. Now, I will right this wrong!”

“Right this wrong? Up till now, you are still in denial of reality and unable to face the real mistakes that you have committed!” The God of Light roared loudly and raised his fists without the use of weaponry. He found a gap between the Master of Order’s attacks and hit him squarely on the face with a heavy punch.

“This world never really needed any bloody rules about some right direction! Everyone fights continually and engages in constant wars, the strong survive, and the weak will cease to exist. Everyone has an equal opportunity to kill and uses their own strength to try and win. Only if we progress towards such a direction can we bring about real progress!”

“The Master of Order, you put on a facade of loving to protect this world, but you are actually just a selfish bastard! You really think that I can’t read your mind? You’ve always wanted to choose Auscar as your successor and pass on the great Divine Power seat to him, to allow him to create the new order of this world. Instead of being the mighty and selfless Great Divine Power that you claim to be, you simply want to be like the humans and choose a king to succeed you and pass it on like some old relic!”

The God of Light raged on and ignored the Master of Order’s attacks, holding up his fists and continually knocking his iron fists into the Master’s face and body. “As to your previous words, I’m returning them to you!

“Your values, I do not agree with them!”

The two Great Divine Powers stopped trying to use any special or mystical methods of sparring and instead became like two wild beasts, madly attacking each other. Each of their blows had mind-numbing strength embedded within, and all the shockwaves that were produced, if combined, would be enough to destroy this entire world. Even if it was a Great Divine power who was caught in these shockwaves, well, he would immediately become smoke and ashes even before he had a chance to escape or ask for help.

The intensity of the fight continued to increase and spread out in all directions. At this point, where the two powers continually fought and gave out shockwaves, they had already caused a giant and deep earthquake on the Abyss, and the ground started splitting apart and breaking down.

If they continued down this path, the entire Abyss would be destroyed by them.

The devils in the Abyss could naturally sense the impending danger from the earthquake, and they all turned their heads from the borders of hell that they were at. No matter how much their skills differed from the two Great Divine Powers, they still roared and rushed towards them. Well, they were unable to even get close to the two Great Divine Powers and instead were killed, damaged or disintegrated by the shockwaves of the battle when they were a far distance away. Among which, even some of the giant devils who had strengths comparable to that of the Great Divine Powers and had been Abyss leaders were also unable to get close to the battling duo.

The troops of hell finally were relieved of this intense battle. They panted hard with the burden of the war still crushing them, staring at the sky simultaneously.

In the pitch-black sky, two shadows which were not particularly big, yet emitting auras stronger than the entire Hell were battling mercilessly. Even the leaders and royalty of the underworld could not understand their battle technique. All they saw was the two Great Divine Powers fighting like gangsters on the street, waving their fists and dealing blow after blow at each other. However, even the weakest and most insignificant soldier could tell that with every collision of their fists, the void split open a little more and was unable to settle down.

Such a scene naturally scared all the cowards, and even the big lads from hell were also frozen in shock and felt rather uncomfortable.

It was not that they were not brave enough, but rather, the two Great Divine Powers’ combined strength was simply too great. It was like how humans would instinctively react and be shocked by sudden loud sounds or by seeing a sudden bright flash of light.

Some noticed that in a place not far from where the two Great Divine Powers were battling, there was a giant jellyfish watching the battle, with its entire body bathed in light.

Sui Xiong was probably the only one who could stand the shockwaves that were emitted from the battle between the two Great Divine Powers. He had always been very strong and had now gained a final inheritance from the Dragon of Chaos, uplifting his strength further. At the present moment, Sui Xiong was perhaps not at the Great Divine Power level yet, but he was definitely very close.

The shockwaves of the battle between the God of Light and the Master of Order was perhaps strong enough to kill any Divine Power. However, it simply felt like a gust of crazy wind to Sui Xiong, and he simply needed to use a lot of strength to stabilize his body.

He stood still and watched the battle, analyzing each side’s battle strategy and gaining lessons and knowledge from it. Sui Xiong thought about how he would react and act if he were one of the parties in the battle. Of course, he was questioning this in the perspective of the Master of Order. This was because the God of Light was now his natural enemy.

As Sui Xiong thought about how one would fight this battle, he also considered why the God of Light would have such a change overcome him.

The God of Light was previously a loose master who was extremely domineering. Although he was indeed evil and cruel, he was definitely not a sly person and definitely would not do things that were disloyal or of betrayal. He was just not that kind of person. Why, then, was he acting in this backstabbing way now?

As Sui Xiong glanced at the God of Light’s pitch-black armor and weapons, he could vaguely guess why. This was probably due to the fact that he had swallowed the core of the God of Evil and gotten infected by the evilness in the core. Although he was a Great Divine Power himself, to swallow another Great Divine Power was definitely not a simple matter!

This was similar to the past event of the God of Evil swallowing the God of Chaos in the past, which had caused his intelligence to be badly damaged and him to become a chaos demon, lying in the Abyss and hibernating for goodness knows how long.

This bloody lesson was right before him, and yet the God of Light had still assumed that he could absorb and digest the power of the God of Evil without any negative side effects.

Although he was originally a god in the Evil Camp, that did not mean all types of evil were the same!

The God of Light had really overestimated himself this time, which was why he had committed such a mistake.

In Sui Xiong’s opinion, the God of Light, who was previously the Master God of the Human God System, had already fallen. The fellow who was now fighting hard with the Master of Order was but a shell of the old God of Light, a monster influenced by evil!

As Sui Xiong glanced at the God of Light, who was fighting the Master of Order with his full body of evil, Sui Xiong could not help but remind himself internally to never make such a similar mistake.

Such an ending was simply too big of a pity!
