Chapter 54 Long Time No See
Chapter 54 Long Time No See
"Stop talking nonsense."
Leodorus, the "Lord of Storms," sneered disdainfully. Terrifying lightning crackled around the trident in his hand, ready to shatter Snow's tortoise shell. The Eternal Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the God of War, the Goddess of Night, and the Earth Mother also made moves. Although it didn't require all six gods to act together, this was merely a way of demonstrating a stance and attitude to the high-sequence extraordinary beings of the entire world.
"You're dead."
Xalatas could no longer play dead. Her voice rang out in Snow's mental world. This Void Spirit was filled with great sorrow, but she was not afraid at all. If it were just her and Snow, she would be anxious, but now that there were two unique beings here, there was nothing to be afraid of.
As long as a sufficiently violent explosion is triggered, allowing the Dark Empire's Blade to merge into the void and escape, then there will be no problem.
In any case, the aftershocks of the explosion won't shatter the Dark Empire's Blade.
But Snow faces the prospect of being led by Xalatas, and if he has any chance of survival, he will most likely end up as her lackey – a truly bad fate.
Are you angry?
Snow asked Saratas a rather strange question.
"No..."
Xalatas responded directly, saying that this had nothing to do with anger. What needed to be prepared now was how to use the two uniquenesses to create a huge explosion when the six gods attacked together, and then tear through the void to escape.
"But I'm furious."
Snow's voice gradually took on a different flavor.
The scene of the six gods high above discussing how to execute him... Originally, because humanity kept fueling the divine fire, Snow's emotions were leaning towards weariness. But now, the uniqueness of the Judge provided a continuous stream of divinity, even including the remnants of the Elf King's spirit, all of which became fuel for the divine fire. This was not a voluntary offering; it was simply that the divinity surging from the uniqueness of the Judge was too much, directly filling Snow's Sequence 5 body. Only because the uniqueness of the Moon was restraining his form did his body not shatter into bubbles.
This overflowing power naturally affected the spirits. The divine fire couldn't burn them all; instead, it was affected by the overwhelming divinity and gradually changed color. An uncontrollable rage rose in Snow's mind. This was his rage, but it wasn't just his rage; it also contained most of the rage belonging to the Elf King.
The Elf King was not resurrected, and Snow remained Snow, because the great prophecy left by the second-generation creator was still in effect. The three gods above even actively strengthened the suppression on the level of fate. This prophecy engraved at the bottom of the world was like an invisible chain binding the uniqueness of the judge.
Even though the elves had basically gone all in, the God of Fate and the Queen of Calamity were doing their best to influence the torrent of fate, and the God of Illusion was maintaining a mysterious ritual while also coordinating the vast majority of the remaining elves to pray to the Elf King, hoping to make the Elf King's consciousness more active in this way.
However, the terrifying Great Prophecy spell still locked up the remnants of the Elf King's spirit, constantly blocking the resurrection progress bar. In turn, it protected Snow's consciousness, allowing him to receive an invisible blessing and resist the baptism of the Elf King's mark, as if he had divine assistance.
In the original timeline, no Old God could be resurrected in the Fourth Age. Even the resurrection of the Imaginary Dragon in the Fifth Age was a result of the Wind, Wisdom, and White Gods, and even the True Creator, not wanting to see Adam easily become a god, and thus not suppressing him with all their might.
"You don't actually want it, do you?"
Through Snow's perspective, Xalatas saw the Six Gods' attack descend: the terrifying blazing sun, the storm tearing everything apart, the boundless darkness, the twilight of decay... It looked like certain death. No one in the world could withstand the combined attack of the Six Gods head-on, not even the Black Emperor and the Fallen God.
"I will make them pay the price for their arrogance!"
Snow closed his eyes and chose to merge with the spirit of the resurrected Elf King, while the divine fire merged into the uniqueness of the moon.
The synergy of order achieved through the uniqueness of the judge and the uniqueness of the moon seems to have been calibrated at this moment.
On the spiritual, mental, and destiny level, the shackles anchored by the Great Prophecy of the Second Creator manifested under the reflection of the power of the Order side, becoming selectable. Furthermore, under the scorching of the Crimson Flame, they showed great loosening. It is true that the Great Prophecy locks the ancient gods from resurrection, but it only locks them from resurrection, not from reincarnation.
The prophecies made by the quasi-God are indeed unshakeable.
But the authority of order can, to some extent, alter the underlying rules of the world.
The Genie (the Child of Chaos) can even influence core cosmic rules such as the three laws of immortality, aggregation, and separation to a certain extent. The ten wishes made by the Genie's lamp, the ten wishes to resurrect the Elf King, were all directly authorized by the Genie. This allows the Judge's uniqueness to slightly borrow the Genie's status in the matter of resurrecting the Elf King and to briefly influence the prophecy made by the Quasi-God.
With the slightest loosening of the rules, Snow immediately took control of his body. Ignoring the vast amount of memories and thoughts flooding his mind, he summoned the Black Empire Blade in response to the attack launched by the six gods. With a single slash, he unleashed the scattered attacks of the six gods, causing immense destruction and raising huge plumes of dust on the ground. Snow's location, however, seemed to be isolated, unaffected by the primary impact of the explosion.
In that instant, the crimson moonlight transformed into an eerie blood-red hue, blurring the distinction between the spirit world and reality. The chaotic power redirected most of the Six Gods' attacks towards the spirit world and other areas. The Six Gods could feel the impact of the attacks, but most of the power was intertwined and deflected. The dust rising from the earth slowly dissipated, and powerful, resonant Elvish chants emanated from it:
"Raise your hand to grasp the sun, moon and stars, and shatter the waves of the five oceans."
"The raging seas never cease, yet the king's power endures; a single roar brings all spirits to their knees."
"Gentlemen, how have you been?"
The "Elf King" waved away the dust that filled the sky and slowly walked out of the ruins. The large, extremely serious wounds on his body were rapidly healing under the moonlight. New vines wove together to form a simple, loose robe that he wore. Despite his previous rage, he was now able to maintain his composure.
As He spoke, He glanced at Tudor and Trensost, who were still standing on the platform, and asked, "What business is it of yours here?"
With a casual wave of his hand, the power of order forcibly ejected the two Sequence 1 Princes who had committed patricide.
The rule's standard for judgment is: those below the level of gods are automatically removed from the game.
The two men, their faces somewhat embarrassed, returned to the safe zone where the other dukes were watching. They exchanged a glance, neither able to believe that they, as archangels of sequence 1, had been so easily thrown out.
Is this the King of Angels?
Tudor frowned.
"He strengthened the established rules by virtue of the existence and personhood of the six gods."
Trensault quickly figured out the reason and said in a deep voice.
"Wow, is this the ancient Elf King? He's pretty cool."
Soren, who was watching the show, didn't care at all about the fact that Tudor and his companion had just lost face.
Einhorn added a casual provocation, "The uniqueness of the Judges is indeed enticing, but unfortunately the Elf King doesn't consider you as rivals."
