Chapter 792 Final Battle Part 17Main Gods were the peak existences of the world. Still, there wasn’t much in common between the Main Gods, as each would have their own unique path.
The phrase “Main God” was actually rather unnecessary, as it was simply a phrase that mortals used to describe the individuals who were the peak existences of the world and had already surpassed the normal limits of a living being’s evolution potential.
Main Gods were capable of creating new dimensions by themselves. They were capable of making an entire species go extinct. A single command from a Main God could destroy or establish a country. Main Gods were existences high above the clouds who would act to change the world behind the scenes.
The Main Gods would show an appropriate amount of self-restraint during the Holy Wars in history. They would first send their subordinates into battle, and only indirectly fight when it was extremely necessary. It was quite rare that a Main God would personally participate in battle in their true body.
This wasn’t because of anything like a Main God’s pride, nor was this simply because of the will of the Chaos Abyss restricting them. Rather than that, it was that the Holy War wasn’t actually that important at the Main Gods’ level anymore. They had already faintly escaped from the cycle of the Holy War. Many Main Gods had already experienced several or even dozens of Holy Wars already. There were plenty of Main Gods who resisted or ignored the will of the Chaos Abyss’s commands.
In the Holy Wars of history, apart from a rare few like Donatis who loved to battle, the Chaos Main Gods were typically rather restrained in comparison to the mid-level and high-level creatures of Chaos who were always really excited to invade the mortal plane.
This was something that the will of the Chaos Abyss (Cynthia) tacitly permitted and expected. Of course, she wouldn’t say it out loud, and she would even punish the Chaos Main Gods who ignored her command to participate in the Holy War… but to the Chaos Main Gods, that didn’t matter at all. A Demon Noble title or a blessing from the Chaos Abyss and so on wouldn’t hold any meaning to them anymore.
Everyone knew about the Main Gods who were the peak existences of all the dimensions in the Eich universe. There were only 20-30 Main Gods at a time, anyways. If every Main God participated fully in the Holy War every time, and four to five Main Gods died in each Holy War, then the Holy War would end after just a few times, making all the evolution meaningless.
Since the Holy War wasn’t that important to the Main Gods, they naturally wouldn’t risk their lives or everything they had. This was the same logic as how the really poor would be daring to risk everything for an opport“By the way, is it really decent of you to simply watch? You’ve stayed at the Cloud Tower for so long before. Shouldn’t you at least feel something for them?”
“Harloys, didn’t the Cloud Tower also raise and teach you? You were even a teacher there before. Feel free to go help them if you like.”
Harloys and I were flying around unhurriedly and chatting while observing everything on the battlefield with a bird’s-eye view.
We had no intentions of immediately helping the Cloud Tower defend against Sophocles’ attack. We had both stayed at the Cloud Tower for quite some time before, so we weren’t worried at all that it would be defeated so easily. Currently, we were more interested in seeing as many aces from both sides being forced out as we possibly could.
A golden rune in the shape of a pointy wizard hat was illuminated above the Cloud Tower, seeming like it was summoning something.
Regardless, it was a good thing for our current combat situation that Sophocles had abandoned being my opponent now.
“Barbarot’s fight is far too disgusting. I don’t want to get involved in mud wrestling. I should just go help Titan, then.”
There was originally a three-versus-three match between the top-level existences. Since Sophocles had just left, then naturally his two allies would suffer misfortune. I would be truly foolish not to take advantage of the situation and gang up on one of the other Chaos Main Gods.
As for why I chose to help Titan rather than Heimor? It definitely wasn’t because Titan already had a tremendous advantage, or anything like me wanting revenge against Donatis… Cough, cough, even if a personal grudge was involved, defeating the weaker party first to obtain a greater snowballing advantage in battle would definitely be the wisest decision.
Just as I was preparing to go and attack Donatis, I changed my mind due to what just happened over by Sophocles.
The Cloud Tower’s summoning had already finished. A certain old acquaintance of mine appeared in midair. Back during the battle of Hell, he and I had even chatted together over tea, even though he was nominally my enemy back then.
This white-robed old man had a long white beard that reached all the way to the ground. However, he didn’t seem like a frail elder at all despite using a walking staff.
He instantly controlled all the magical wavelengths in the area just by standing there as the Elemental Tide formed a natural barrier to protect him.
He was Kalumandas, the God of Wisdom, an Order Main God who was also Harloys’ protector.
The mages had just shown off an incredibly powerful ace here.
Kalumandas was one of the extremely few Gods that some mages would worship. However, nobody knew that he had long since secretly allied himself with the mages.
The Mage Country had revealed their own Main God level combat strength, which was more than enough evidence that they were completely sincere in participating in this battle with everything they had.
Kalumandas entering this battle at this moment was also an indication that he was now making a complete break with the Holy Light Faction. As long as I did a good job here, we would gain yet another reliable and powerful ally here.
This was why I immediately turned around to go assist Kalumandas. He wasn’t a Main God who was famed for his fighting skills. If he still thought of Sophocles as the same “Weakest Main God” from before, then Kalumandas would definitely suffer immensely.
Still, when looking at things from another standpoint, it really wouldn’t be much different, as I was still going to gang up on a Chaos Main God.
