Chapter 475: Chapter 184: Lamenting the Powerlessness of the Gods

Present world.

Church of Destiny.

Within a garden shaped like a clock.

Suna sat elegantly at the edge of a flowerbed, gazing at the Clock Flowers blooming within. She reached out to gently touch a petal, only to see the pale yellow petal tremble and fall off, coming to the end of its life. This was not a natural phenomenon.

Ragnarok was imminent, and this world was about to be burnt into ashes, along with the petals... no, along with all known forms of life, which began to wither gradually.

The power from Ragnarok was invading this world, and the more fragile a life was, the more easily it would wither. Many frail people were quickly moving towards death, and even the physically strong were starting to feel unwell.

This was the harbinger of Ragnarok.

Only those with magic power could resist this influence, but that was all they could do; resist the influence. As time passed, they too would meet death.

The entire process was very similar to a disease, but it wasn’t humans that were affected, it was the world itself.

"Believe in the will of the gods," a kind voice came from not far away. Suna looked up at the sound to see the Pope of Destiny approaching, taking a seat beside her quite naturally.

"If anyone can resist the gravitational pull of Ragnarok’s fate, it would surely be the Three Goddesses of Fate. You just need to follow the guidance of the gods,"

"Yes," replied Suna in a subdued voice, and upon seeing her demeanor, the Pope of Destiny raised her hand and gently rubbed Suna’s head, her smile growing even kinder:

"Do not dwell on matters concerning Ahtal. His birth was merely a result of the gravitational force of Ragnarok’s fate, and it has nothing to do with the person Ahtal himself."

"Yes," Suna nodded lightly, her spirits unchanged. She had received an oracle from the Future Goddess, instructing her to activate her return from death ability at a crucial moment to prevent the world from being burnt to ashes by the King of Ash.

And it was through this oracle that she realized the current King of Ash was most likely Ahtal, no...it was now confirmed to be Ahtal. What she needed to do now was to activate return from death before Ahtal set the Tree of Omniscience ablaze.

"Trust in the arrangements of the Future Goddess," said the Pope of Destiny, as she could only try to reassure Suna in this way, rubbing her head again. She did not know how else to comfort Suna and could only place her hope in the Future Goddess.

Beyond that, there was no other solution.

"Want to protect this world?" Xi Mu suddenly laughed with delight, looking at the solemn expression of the Goddess of Darkness, as flames of Ash Fire spilled out between his teeth, "If you can kill me, perhaps you could really stop Ragnarok from coming."

He drew the Great Sword of Death.

"Any method will do. If you can kill me, I will sincerely praise the All Gods for their courage and wisdom."

"Then don’t blame us for being ruthless," said the Goddess of Darkness, her pupils emitting a deep and dark glow, as she suddenly slammed her hand against the ground.

Darkness enveloped the world.

"Boom!" Scorching Dragon Breath engulfed the darkness in an instant, aiming to burn all the gods together into ash. The God of Destruction charged forward.

His third eye widened, his six arms thrust forward, fingers and wrists instantly burnt to ash, all the way up to his elbows.

The Dragon Breath, infused with Ash Fire, was squarely blocked.

"Worthy of the God of Destruction," the voice of praise came from beside his ear. Without turning his head, the God of Destruction stomped the ground vigorously, creating an immense crater in an instant, his body disappearing from the spot.

He reappeared atop the Tree of Omniscience, his burnt arms regenerating at a visible speed.

"Faster than the Goddess of Darkness," Xi Mu praised, then lifted the Goddess of Darkness whom he had by the throat and shook her towards the All Gods, saying:

"Aren’t you coming to rescue your companion?"

God of Destruction: "..."

When exactly had he captured the Goddess of Darkness? With the power of the Goddess of Darkness, she should have been even more difficult to catch.

Endowed with the power of darkness, not only could the Goddess of Darkness invoke the dark side of people’s hearts, but she could also move freely through the dark side of the world.

And the dark side of the world referred to not only shadows but also the dark aspects of different dimensions. Even if the real world was brightly illuminated, it should not have affected the Goddess of Darkness’s instant transportation.

Yet the Goddess of Darkness was caught by Ahtal.

"No reaction?" Xi Mu sighed, his palm full of Ash Fire erupting violently, immediately burning the Goddess of Darkness to ashes.

Nearly a hundred gods gathered at the Tree of Omniscience, each wielding different powers, with three reaching the Almighty Realm.

But even omnipotence has its degrees.

"Survive in the Ash Kingdom," he declared, opening the realm in his heart, wide enough to cover several nations.

Blazing flames swallowed the heavens and the earth in an instant.

"Ah!" cried out the God of Raining in agony, instantly reduced to ashes. His power was of no use in this battle, not even capable of delaying Ahtal for a few seconds.

"Eden, wait for me just a moment," Xi Mu spoke to Eden, not far from him and protected by a barrier, "I’ll take care of the All Gods quickly,"

No sooner had he spoken than he flung the Sword of Light in his hand, its stream of light—endowed with a guaranteed hit effect—roared and instantly struck the God of Destruction amid the Ash Fire. Continuing its path beyond the bounds of the Ash Kingdom, it struck the branches of the Tree of Omniscience, cutting them off with a swift blow.

The sight was terrifying.

If it had been the Ahtal from before he became the King of Ash faced with such a situation, he would have been quickly overpowered by the All Gods.
