Chapter 841 470: Prologue to the Divine War (2)

The power of our side's big boss is like this.

Xue Dili feels as if he's at the end of a tower defense game, with the enemy having only one crystal left, but our side has no way to break through the defense and directly attack the enemy's crystal.

And now, the big boss on our side pointed to the teleport on himself and said to me: "You just need to get close to the enemy's crystal, and I'll take care of the rest!"

As long as Xue Dili gets close to the Lord of Mist, the God of Order will teleport in and deliver a fatal blow to that crystal!

So in this battle, all Xue Dili needs to do is act as a soldier and approach the enemy base.

The Mimic Venerable King silently watched Xue Dili, and at that moment, He said: "Xue Dili, don't you understand? You are now the person in the entire Cosmos closest to becoming the Venerable King..."

At this moment, Xue Dili was stunned.

"It's not because of power, nor the Divine Tree Fruit, nor the authority... You stumbled upon a path identical to that of the Venerable King and have walked it farther than anyone in the Interstellar Corps."

"Whether it's because there's a Venerable King Fragment in your hometown, your heart to protect others at all costs, or the company of 'Genesis,' you've unknowingly gotten closer to the Venerable King rapidly."

"You haven't even realized why your strength has advanced so quickly, like breaking through barriers?"

The words of the God of Order left Xue Dili momentarily frozen.

"Even those I've recruited into the Interstellar Corps have only completed a few missions before retiring, and these missions primarily rely on the Corps setup, even walking the Venerable King's path, their growth is barely satisfactory."

"But you're different, you're a madman, even from my perspective, advancing tirelessly so frequently, willing to fall into the Void just to fulfill the Savior's task, Xue Dili, your very existence has brought you closer to the ascension path of the Venerable King."

"Even after I became a god, I realized you were the one who traveled the farthest on the Venerable King's path in the entire Cosmos."

Xue Dili quietly said nothing, he silently looked at the god marrow of the God of Order in his hand, and once it arrived in his hand, this strongest power of the God of Order no longer revealed its sharpness but slowly adapted to his arm.

Subsequently, a wrist-mounted arm guard was born, and Xue Dili could feel that as long as he wished, this arm guard would thrust out like a Sleeve Sword.

Any target hit by it would instantly be covered by the God of Order!

The God of Order has only a few chances to fully exert His power, and once He goes all out, He will immediately be forcibly taken to the end of Subspace by the Venerable King, which is the current rule of the Cosmos.

The God of Order looked at Xue Dili, mocking: "Those apostles exhausted their efforts, trying everything to get closer to the Venerable King, transforming humans across the Cosmos who are benefited by the Venerable King into fruits, even consuming thousands or tens of thousands of them can't match what you've accomplished in a year!"

"Obviously, there's a broad avenue right before everyone, yet some refuse to take it and choose shortcuts, using their cleverness, often leading to foolishness!"

The words of the God of Order are mockingly aimed at the Lord of Mist, or perhaps at all the apostles.

"I will complete this mission." Xue Dili put away the Sleeve Sword in his hand, suddenly smiled, as if he had let go of everything, "Once this mission is completed, I should fulfill the past goal, to kill all apostles, right?"

"Not only will you kill all apostles but also set an example of this broad avenue for the entire Cosmos, henceforth, no one will think of relying on the twisted path of the Divine Tree Fruit, thus the chaos and filth of the Cosmos will be reduced by at least half!"

"And Order will thereby spread across the Cosmos!" The God of Order's words concluded.

"I understand..." Xue Dili said, "What should I do next?"

"I will help you completely merge the flesh of the Lord of Mist so you can handle Him more easily in battle."

...

Deep in Subspace, in a certain crevice.

The Lord of Mist's body is half wrapped in mist, while the other half is covered with the faces of six other apostles.

This is His power of "Creation," which involves creation and separation, and any authority has two sides, just as fear can plunge one into panic and hysteria, but also into rage and excitement.

Similarly, the Void can turn one into a soulless, emotionless creature, like a walking dead, yet also transform many who are touched by the Void into participants in the laughing masked ball.

Every authority has duality, the Venerable King and the Void are like that; everything is like that.

And His power involves creation and separation.

Creating unique authority and being able to separate others' authority.

The strength of this power, combined with His strategies, makes even other apostles have to obey His commands.

Because if they wish to become gods, they must seek His help.

And the authority He separates does not disappear but overlays itself onto Him, including all the side effects and costs associated with that authority.

Over time, this authority will return to others, and He will simultaneously rid Himself of the costs of other authorities.

But if someone dies during the separation of authority, then the authority and its costs remain permanently on Him.

This is the cost of His authority, which involves inheriting the costs of other authorities without any decrease.

These costs left within Him may even retain the consciousness of the original owner, theoretically, authority shouldn't inherit original consciousness, but for unknown reasons, it happens that the consciousness of the original owner comes and gradually overlaps.

The Lord of Mist doesn't know how many "apostles" He has stripped of power through the Authority of Creation, in their fearful faces, kills them when powerless, and then overlays their authority costs onto Himself.

Now it's the same as before, the only difference is the simultaneous fusion of 6 apostles' authority costs this time.

Maybe merging these costs affects Him?

The Lord of Mist forgot, but He has done it many times before, if He can forget this, it must not be important.

Molding gods... If no one can possess the qualifications to become a god, then I'll become one myself!

Why should I mold gods?

Forget it, that's not important anymore!

The ritual of the 12 apostles is complete, henceforth...

The faces of the six original apostles on the Lord of Mist's body began to distort and gradually merge with His body.

The whole Lord of Mist started to become extremely strange, growing more arms, each arm fused with an apostle's face, and simultaneously, as if the eyes of other apostles appeared on the hands.

His original body began to shed the mist, gradually revealing His original face, like a veiled girl... monster?

On the six arms behind Him, 12 eyeballs constantly rotate, seemingly entwined by branches of the Divine Tree, adding a touch of eeriness, while something unknown continues to unfold.

The Evil God known as "Creation" in this Subspace is undergoing a quiet metamorphosis.

...

This isn't actually a hard task; Xue Dili believes he's done such things countless times.

Just as before, as long as he approached Zeus, he was halfway successful.

And now it's even simpler, just get close to the Lord of Mist, and you'll completely succeed.

Then it will be a divine war between the God of Order and the Lord of Mist, and he, as a mere soldier, can smoothly leave.

At that time, he could even say: "My mission is accomplished!"
