Pirate Kingship-Chapter 788 - 495: Three Teachings, One Origin—Infinite Division!

A swarm of blood-red bats flew out of the Blood Mist with a "crackle", some biting people on sight, while others darted out of the library without hesitation, trying to flee far away.

This immediately caused chaos in the library.

Clearly, she was much more severely contaminated than the former, having become a true Ancient God's Chosen Race, chaotic, bloodthirsty, and mad, yet extraordinarily cunning.

Yet, strangely enough, Margaret and her companions were nearby, but none of the bats attacked them.

As if deliberately avoiding something, they didn't even want to come close, preferring to take a longer route to escape, resulting in an arc around them.

At the center of this arc was Byron, stunned after seeing "Blood Angel Lamia".

"This angel... I know her!

Barat, Lilithu, Lamia... all these names are aliases of [Mother of Creation Lilith]!"

[Night Demon Prince] is the highest-ranking kin of Mother of Creation Lilith's lineage, with a profound inherent connection between them.

Ever since ascending to the Third Order, Byron has been hearing the mutterings of that Old God, learning much ancient knowledge long sealed and destroyed by the Church.

Among which part concerns the origin of Lilith.

During the Mythological Era, her Divine Domain was primarily located in the central continent, the interfluve of the Two Rivers Basin. She was a symbol of life and storm, and one of the most powerful deities of the time.

Among them, Lamia was her Divine Avatar, representing a portion of her authority over monsters.

Later, in the Church's compiled "Book of Creation", her status was greatly diminished, her image transformed into the first woman created by the [Creator], and she was absorbed into the Church's faith system.

A storm surged in Byron's heart:

"Why does the Forbidden Book "Gospel of Heaven" released by the [Creator] contain knowledge of Lilith?

Though it presented as an angel, I would not mistake the essence of the power within.

Then would the many other angels depicted in this book be in the same situation?

Could it be that the so-called 'angels' in Heaven are actually gods from the Mythological Era and their incarnations?!

Could it be that the [Creator] devoured a part of them back then?"

On the Sailing Logbook, [Secret: The Catalyst of Religious Wars, Historical Influence 65] decryption rate leapt from 15% to 35% instantly.

Byron suddenly realized that it seemed he had stumbled upon a monumental secret.

In the Mythological Era, the pantheon truly existed, but by the Silver Era, the [Shackled Creator] had become the omniscient and omnipotent sole god.

All gods from other divine systems fell in rank, drowning in the Sea of Origin Matter, reduced to the Sixth Order [Demigod] level retaining only "Beastliness".

In a world where even "proclamations" carry extraordinary power, [Divine Title] isn't something one could just boast about.

If the name did not match the reality, the rank of omniscient and omnipotent [Creator] would be precarious.

Now Byron finally understood why the creator could possess the terrifying authority of "omniscience and omnipotence".

Combining the words of [Succubus Princess Teres]: "Before the Great Flood arrived, the pantheon essentially fought over what could ensure survival."

Clearly, in that survival-driven war of the pantheon, the [Creator] somehow took from all the gods, including True Gods, demigods, lesser gods, and avatars, the stable "Divinity" and the anchors they used to rule their followers!

This allowed the [Creator] to rely on a cheating level of powerful anchoring to achieve the highest state of "Unity of All Things".

Binding itself tightly to the human collective, becoming the omniscient and omnipotent sole god of the Material World!

Subsequently, the "Creator's Church" in the Material World rapidly expanded, taking over the entire Old Continent in one move.

In the process of expansion, they incidentally destroyed the mythology and faith of the gods, dispersing the divine systems unique to each race.

Moreover, through "appropriation", they renamed their gods and integrated them into their own mythos, which are the "angels" in the "Gospel of Heaven"!

The scripture describes angels as:

"Angels are created from light, belonging to a world invisible to the naked eye, without gender, belonging to a spiritual existence, with no material needs or functions;

they do not eat, sleep, marry, or reproduce.

Although the creator endowed them with wisdom, they do not possess free will or choice, instead fully complying with the divine will and divine command of the Lord, worshipping and serving the Lord in various ways."

Essentially, they were assimilated.

Now, as this knowledge that originally belonged to the gods begins to leak from the [Creator], the "angels" once swallowed have also fallen into chaos.

Without a doubt, it indicates a significant problem with the [Shackled Creator] itself!

Byron recalled an entropy increase law from his previous life, used to describe the degree of chaos within a system:

"In an isolated system, no change can reduce the total entropy, meaning an isolated system will only grow more chaotic."

This law reveals the trend of the universe and life systems always evolving from order to disorder.

For example, a pile of stones in nature, no matter how long it's left, will never turn into a majestic castle; a heap of red iron mine won't turn into a steel sword, but the reverse from order to disorder can happen.
