Cthulhu Gonfalon-Chapter 970: The Battle of the Great Divine Powers (Part 2)

The God of Light and the Master of Order’s battle continued on.

The entire Abyss was already destroyed by about three quarters due to this battle, even though they were actually fighting quite a distance away from it.

For the remaining few devil leaders, they either burrowed down to the bottom half of the Abyss, or even the underground to hide or directly left the Abyss and escaped far, far away.

Similarly, the gods were afraid to approach the battle area as well and could only watch this extraordinary battle from afar. They were shocked by the amount of damage that the gods’ battle had produced. At the same time, they were worried at how the battle area was slowly nearing the Negative Plane of the Ring of the World as well as the junction of the Matter Plane.

Yes, their area of battle was indeed slowly moving from the Ring of the World’s Negative Plane towards the Matter Plane. This was because the Master of Order was slowly retreating in defeat.

The great Master of Order had been controlling this entire world for a long time and could be said to be the king of the Big Circulation. However, he was no longer able to defend against the God of Light, who was now totally black. Every time each side exchanged blows, the Master of Order would take a step back. Although it wasn’t fast, one could definitely tell that he was unable to defeat the God of Light.

This piece of news was celebrated by the human gods while the remaining gods watched on in worry.

If this was the previous God of Light, even if he defeated the Master of Order and became the overall leader of this world, it wouldn’t be too worrying. Even if he was evil, he was rather traditional in his ways and was true to his word. He would definitely not do things that were out of character. He may not have been a kind leader, but he would not have been a dictator either.

However, the present God of Light was totally different.

Even if one disregarded the fact that he had backstabbed the Dragon of Chaos and murdered him, the evil vibes emitted from his body alone and that devious, evil smile on his face would already warn one that he was not someone good.

If he managed to win over the Master of Order and became the ultimate leader of this world, everyone in this world would definitely suffer.

This was to the extent where, if the God of Light became the overall leader of this world, the first thing he would do would be to massacre and get rid of all races except the humans and leave the entire world in the hands of the humans as the only living creatures with brains left.

This sort of sick, twisted thing was probably something that he wouldn’t have considered in the past. Now, however, it was highly likely that he would do something like this.

Once they thought about this possibility, the gods from non-human races immediately shivered and were fearful, to the point where their hands and feet were cold. They were at a loss as to what to do.

If even the great Master of Order couldn’t defend against the fully evil God of Light, what could other gods possibly do?

Their gazes thus naturally all landed on Sui Xiong.

Everyone had witnessed the previous scene where the Dragon of Chaos had offered his last bit of power to Sui Xiong. Although they were unsure as to the extent of power that Sui Xiong had received, regardless, it was still power from a Great Divine Power source.

With that kind of power, it was highly possible for Sui Xiong to intervene in the battle, change the outcome of it and assist the Master of Order in becoming the victor.

Many gods had already begun discussing this possibility and prayed hard that Sui Xiong would take action and assist the Master of Order.

Sui Xiong, however, did not agree just yet.

It was not that he did not want to help the Master of Order. It was also not that he had great ambitions and wanted to challenge the God of Light solo. It was more of the fact that he had not yet found a good opportunity to intervene.

The idea that onlookers of a situation often have the best viewpoint did not really stand here. The on looking gods totally did not understand how strong or weak the power Sui Xiong inherited was. They also did not understand the differences he had as compared to the two Great Divine Powers.

Although he could withstand the shockwaves created by the battle between the two Great Divine powers, it definitely did not mean that he was able to directly compete and fight with them. According to Sui Xiong’s internal calculations, if he were to enter the battle, he only had one chance to do so.

This single chance had to be properly used. He could not afford to be hasty and waste this chance away with a misstep.

If he did, not only would Sui Xiong lose his life, he would possibly lose the only chance that this world had against an evil god’s takeover.

After going through many experiences in his life, Sui Xiong was already numb to death. He was no longer afraid of it. Nevertheless, he did not want to lose his life in vain or for no good reason.

Sui Xiong thus bided his time and observed the battle closely, trying to spot a good opportunity to take action.

When the chance arose, he would use all his strength and fully intervene.

He waited for a long time, but this chance did not come.

Although the two Great Divine Powers continued to battle intensely, both their auras remained relatively intact, and there weren’t many visible cracks, let alone any visible weakening.

On the contrary, their aura... seemed to be growing instead.

This confused Sui Xiong immensely. They were both fighting a battle of life and death, which used a great amount of strength. How was it possible that they were growing stronger instead of becoming weaker?

Could it be that they were the destiny protagonists like in fiction, who could continue to grow and develop in battle until they reached their peak and even crossed it?

Ah! It didn’t make sense scientifically! 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Although it was a little strange to talk about science in this world, that was really Sui Xiong’s first thought.

It was really illogical, and there was no explanation for it! How was it possible for someone to grow in strength while fighting a war?

However, that was reality. The two Great Divine Powers were growing stronger, and so was Sui Xiong.

On one hand, he was digesting and absorbing the Dragon of Chaos’ inheritance, which was one of the past Great Divine Power, the God of Chao’s strength and intelligence. They were not things that could be immediately grasped and he needed time to understand and take it in. In the process of doing so, Sui Xiong naturally became stronger.

On the other hand, the gods who had pleaded with Sui Xiong to assist the Master of Order were also selflessly passing on their powers to him, with hopes that he could become stronger. At this point, even the most stingy gods also became selfless and relinquished their power freely. This was because they all knew that the only one who could help the Master of Order and reverse the situation was Sui Xiong. If Sui Xiong failed, the Master of Order would lose, and everyone would be doomed to die sooner or later. As they glanced at the God of Light and his evil vibes, their fear level increased.

Since that was so, they preferred to lose their powers but attempt to hold on to their last hope, Sui Xiong.

In this world, there were countless numbers of races with their own gods individually. Although these gods were not strong and only a few were of decent strength, there was strength in numbers nevertheless, and with the gathering of the gods, they amassed a great amount of power that should not be underestimated.

At this point, this amassed power was all focused onto Sui Xiong to accompany the knowledge and strength passed on by the Dragon of Chaos, making him more powerful overall. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

They continued this until... well, till Sui Xiong was strong enough to change the outcome of this battle.

This moment came soon enough, and Sui Xiong and the gods did not have to wait long. Once the Master of Order was almost about to move beyond the Ring of the World’s Negative Plane and the Matter Plane, Sui Xiong finally found a chance to strike.

During one of the God of Light’s attacks, his fists brushed against the Master of Order’s. Although his fist managed to brush past the Master of Order’s, he did not manage to hit him. Instead, the Master of Order’s fish changed direction, and instead of striking the side of the God of Light’s face, hit him squarely on the nose instead.

Now was Sui Xiong’s chance!

Without any further hesitation, like a beam of light, Sui Xiong rushed out and directly went straight for the God of Light’s throat.
