After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 441 - 168 War, War, War

Gods can be killed.

This concept had long been known by countless people, but it had never been so clear. Although All Gods had known that Ahtal could slay deities, they had never truly felt it; it was like how bards spoke of the terror of dragons, but had never seen one, merely knowing from common sense that dragons were extremely dangerous.

It wasn’t until the day the Demon really descended that the overwhelming fear instantly made people realize just how terrifying dragons were.

It was not indirect knowledge, but real, tangible terror.

At this moment, most of the gods present felt as if they were mortals facing a dragon for the first time, starting to experience emotions of fear.

Since Ahtal could easily kill the Combat God, it naturally followed that he could kill them too...

"Is it over?" The spring-haired Goddess of Spring, with her light blue short hair, showed a hint of confusion, which quickly turned into panic. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

She realized... death.

The concept of death was new to her, and for the first time, she understood that she could be killed, forever erased from this world.

The moment she grasped this notion, she felt an unprecedented chill, as if someone had injected dry ice into her veins, freezing her entire being.

"Don’t be afraid." Next to her, the God of Beauty and Art placed a hand gently on the back of the hand of the Goddess of Spring, showing a gentle and bright smile, "This is a duel that won’t affect unrelated gods."

"Can’t we just kill Ahtal directly?" The Goddess of Spring slightly pursed her lips, suddenly uttering these words.

Then she wouldn’t have to feel fear.

"That would provoke the Witch of Death." The God of Beauty and Art gently shook their head, and the Goddess of Spring also realized, that if they directly killed Ahtal, that would indeed provoke the Witch of Death.

That was a true embodiment of death.

"Besides, things aren’t as terrifying as you think." The God of Beauty and Art whispered into the ear of the Goddess of Spring, "Even if Ahtal kills many gods, we can still rectify everything with Time Retrospection."

"Time does not allow retrospection... wait, what do you mean?" The Goddess of Spring covered her lips, "Would the Three Goddesses of Fate allow such a thing?"

Travel through time was a forbidden act, an absolute rule set by the God of Omniscience. Any person or god who attempted to rewind time would face severe punishment.

However, the Three Goddesses of Fate were an exception. They not only represented the past, present, and future fates but also had the authority to grant their followers the ability to travel through time, circumventing the absolute rule set by the God of Omniscience.

So, upon hearing of Time Retrospection, she immediately realized that most likely the gods wanted to manually trigger the capability of the current Saintess of Destiny.

"It is a necessary measure, isn’t it?" The God of Beauty and Art blinked gently, "And if we just trigger Time Retrospection once, the Three Goddesses of Fate shouldn’t mind, right?"

"Wouldn’t that affect the Three Goddesses of Fate in finding the God of Omniscience?" The Goddess of Spring showed a worried expression.

The God of Beauty and Art responded with a light smile and cast their gaze toward the central figure in the duel arena, casually changing the subject, "Not long ago, I could have effortlessly waved my hand and killed Ahtal."

"His rate of growth is truly abnormal." The Goddess of Spring murmured softly, her eyes reflecting the image of Ahtal holding a great sword burning with black flames, standing alone against the gods, his tyrannical aura seeming to devour her soul.

"If it were normal, he wouldn’t be standing here." The God of Beauty and Art gently shook their head, and then they saw a god leap from the audience seats, landing near Ahtal, directly opposing him with an equally imposing aura.

"The God of Swordsmanship?" Xi Mu observed the green-haired man across from him, holding dual swords, and his indifferent expression finally showed a ripple, "You should be no less powerful than the Goddess of the Sword, right?"

"She is weaker than me." The God of Swordsmanship spoke nonchalantly, "Comparing her to me is an... insult."

"Is that so?" Xi Mu swung the Great Sword of Death in his hand, clashing directly with the God of Swordsmanship. The impact of their swords sparked, illuminating their cheeks.

The scenery around them also changed dramatically at that instant, a myriad of swords like mountain peaks plunged into the ground, as if the duel arena had transformed into a world of swords.

This was the materialized power of the God of Swordsmanship, enhancing all blades within the Kingdom of Swords in his heart significantly, and he could control all the swords within the kingdom.

If Xi Mu were holding a sword, its control would immediately be seized by the God of Swordsmanship, turning it against its true master.

"Clang!" The swords clashed again, the shock of their impact splitting the earth, and the God of Swordsmanship took this chance to leap backwards, maintaining a few hundred meters distance from Ahtal.

Xi Mu shook the Great Sword of Death, surveying the floating blades around him; he was surrounded by layers upon layers, ready to strike at him endlessly.

"Every blade here has been enhanced to the level of a Divine Artifact and possesses corresponding abilities. Each strike is as if I am striking personally." The God of Swordsmanship touched the dual swords at his waist, his smile filled with absolute confidence.

He had absolute control over the blades and could enhance all blades within his kingdom, hence he specifically searched for numerous unique blades to use in battle.

"Don’t die." With that, the God of Swordsmanship drew his twin swords, and the blades surrounding Ahtal also moved at that instant.
