Chapter 795 Final Battle Part 20A divine self-destruction would forever be the final technique used by any God in order to transform their own eternal life and endless divine power into an explosion of despair that would drag their enemy to death with them.
A Low God could even kill a more powerful God with this. The importance of self-destructions keeping divine society relatively stable couldn’t be understated.
However, was the current situation really that bad for Sophocles that he would need to go to such an extent?
Things obviously weren’t that bad for him at all. The Chaos Abyss army was still endlessly arriving through the Dimensional Door. The Chaos Main Gods weren’t at an overwhelming disadvantage yet. Nothing would have ended quickly at that point… and even if the Chaos Faction lost here, wouldn’t it have been fine for Sophocles to run away? Would he really be stupid enough to die for the sake of the Chaos Faction?
Just how much had he invested into this battle? Why did he sacrifice everything he had? Why did he drag other Main Gods into dying together with him?
I couldn’t understand, but I knew that the person in front of me could definitely give me an explanation.
“Karwenz! Just what have you done!?”
To me personally, the unknown was frustrating, and I especially hated the feeling of having someone else make me dance to their whims.
However, I was certain that this person would give me the answer.magic
The battlefield currently seemed like an ancient battlefield right out of a myth. There was no apparent difference between the sky and the earth. The blue sky and white clouds had been replaced by the universe and the stars. All the basic dimensional laws had been completely shattered.
I had never witnessed such a frightening scene before. Countless dimensional cracks had been torn open. Vision, sound, and even feelings were all distorted. Time and space had obviously become unbalanced here. A distance that was clearly only a few meters away seemed as if it was more than 1000 kilometers away.
No, it was indeed more than 1000 kilometers away. Taking one step would result in your next step landing at someplace unknown. Since the basic dimensional laws of space had been completely distorted here, nothing was stable and every step would represent countless possibilities. On such a battlefield, someone of Gold rank wouldn’t even have the right to become cannon fodder.
“Answer me! Karwenz!”
The most obvious existence on this chaotic battlefield was probably the gigantic God before me.
“Hey, isn’t this my older brother? As expected of a cockroach like you. Even this explosion wasn’t able to kill you.”
Karwenz still had that familiar figure, appearance, and casual attitude. I never expected that I would be so angry to see my own face.
I took one step forward, but then suddenly appeared at a location 300 meters behind me. It would seem that it was impossible for me to reach Karwenz since the dimensional laws weren’t stable here yet.“No, there’s actually no door at all. The two old hags (Creator Goddesses of Order and Chaos) went to an extreme and sealed off the entire Eich universe, making the Eich universe an enclosed room with no doors or windows whatsoever. In such a scenario, it would be impossible to open the door to the dimensional barrier even with the key, because there was no lock or door.”
“…That’s why you must create a door with an explosion. The Main Gods were the necessary sacrifices for this?”
Although I was asking a question, my tone was certain. This was the only possibility that would offer enough potential benefits for Sophocles to be willing to pay such a tremendous price.
Karwenz shrugged and smiled as he showed me three fingers.
“Three Main Gods was the minimum that I required. However, Afu completed his mission quite wonderfully by giving me a sacrifice of six Main Gods. This area has already begun initialization. This place shall become the door leading to new universes.”
Karwenz wasn’t even emotional as he simply stated the facts. However, such abnormal calmness obviously wasn’t normal for Karwenz’s personality, so I could faintly tell just how resolved he was.
“Ha, an initialized world won’t be analyzed so quickly. Stop thinking so much about it. Relax, I’m not interested in those parasites, either.”
Karwenz then glanced at the outskirts of the battlefield, where the Cloud Tower was slowly rising up into the sky again. It seemed that he had seen through my plan of stalling him so that the survivors could safely retreat.
“Parasites?”
“Isn’t that the case? Those guys are clearly humans as well, but they think that it’s only natural for them to receive venerated treatment from ordinary humans just because they’ve learned some minor inklings about magic and feel that they control the secrets of the universe. They think that they’re much better than humans, and don’t view themselves as humans anymore. They only want to enjoy the benefits, but never work to do anything for humans. Isn’t that what a parasite is? Haha, these are the exact words that you previously told me.”
I instantly fell silent after hearing this. From my standpoint back then, the Mage Country clearly possessed the strongest power in this world, yet never tried to do anything to change the world for the better. My extreme views and attitude back then meant that it was quite normal for me to say something like this back then… But I would need to be careful as it would be quite troublesome if the mages held a grudge over hearing me say this.
“Ahem, we all heard this already.”
Harloys sent me that as a secret mental message while the light of teleportation magic illuminated me in the next instant. It seemed that the Cloud Tower had already finished analyzing the dimensional space here.
I glanced at Karwenz and asked another question in the end.
“…Why are you telling me all this? Why aren’t you simply killing me?”
Karwenz had a strange expression on his face as if he felt that this was a strange question for me to ask him.
“Why would I kill you? Ha, just by asking me this, I know that the old hag in your body still hasn’t told you everything yet. Go back and ask her properly about our undying trait—”
I didn’t hear the rest of his words, as I was instantly teleported back to the Cloud Tower. However, I had a big headache from the last thing that I saw on the battlefield.
The Yongye City that I had worked so hard to construct was now mostly destroyed. Additionally, its core had also been opened due to all the destruction. I just saw a certain familiar figure crawl out of the core while glaring at me with pure hatred—Conservation…
