I.. Am God?-Chapter 182 Ultimate Flame, Appearance

Doing nothing fancy, Andre lit up the torches by sending small flames towards them separately. He then pierced deep into his left palm. Blood oozed out as he continued to puncture deep into his own hand. He then pulled something from it; a small medal of a serpent.

He then threw it on the ground and as soon as he did so, several tiles on the rocky floor parted, and podiums that only reached to four feet made its way up from down under.

Although there were a lot of items inside, Andre focused his attention at three items; A whip, a purple flame crackling on a brazier that was similar to the image outside, and a small black ring.

Andre went to the whip first. He picked it up and caressed it. It was his whip, called by those who knew it as the Devouring Whip. Anything it touches will have their energy siphoned from them and reabsorbed by him.

In every war from the age of old, this whip accompanied him to victories and defeats. It was his comrade, the item that was always by his side. After the war against Solomon, he stored the Devouring Whip deep inside the Hall, together with the other items that were no longer seen by the world after the great massacre of the Sanguine Godking.

Seeing it once again, he once again remembered the memories that he had already placed on the back of his head. Storing the whip with him, he began to walk towards the brazier that has a purple flame.

This was mainly the reason why he went down here. This flame was an amalgamation of different Mythic Flames, forming a very powerful flame that would incinerate almost anything it touches.

Others call it The Ultimate Flame, while he, the creator, calls it The Eternal Flame. A flame that blazes until eternity.

Andre figured that the flame could maybe damage or at least just weaken the barrier around the codex with its power.

Having decided already, Andre fearlessly shot his hand into the flame, and once he took out his hand, clasped in his two fingers was a purple seed that had small embers on it. It was the Seed of Eternal Flame, the core in which the flame is born.

Without the seed on the brazier, the flame in it slowly floated out and was sucked inside the seed. The seed glowed with a bright lavender hue, with sparks on its surface from time to time.

Andre then plunged the seed deep into his chest. His skin slowly creeped up onto the seed and encapsulated it after. Andre opened his palms, and there, a purple flame dancing on his palms as if it was happy that it was back.

Andre just smiled but suddenly turned serious as he looked at the ring. He slowly walked over and gazed at it for a moment before picking it up.

As soon as he touched it, Andre wasn't even surprised when he heard a deep voice calling onto him, "ándras, foolish man. Long time no see."

"Solomon." Andre uttered with a frowning face. As soon as he said his name, a translucent figure materialized in front of him. The figure was big while his body was buffed up. He had a long beard and an even longer hair while his deep dark eyes looked at Andre with ridicule.

"Oh?" Solomon said with an amused voice, "Why that long face? With all that has happened to me because of all of you teaming up to eliminate me, I didn't even get angry. What's with that tone of yours being so cold and indifferent?"

"We did that because you're too strong." Andre replied coldly.

"I didn't even do anything!" Solomon laughed, "I even helped some of the gods to manifest their true powers! But what did they do? They– you all teamed up together to defeat me and the only reason you weren't able to kill me then and right now is because I am too knowledgeable to begin with."

"Then, why did you cause chaos by summoning and creating demons, upsetting the balance of the world and the realms?" Solomon then spat, "Bah! Demons were necessary to bring balance to the world! Without demons, only those divine beings would prevail. Sooner or later, they would become arrogant and would think that they rule all things."

"If I didn't summon the demons unto this realm, they would've become so arrogant that they would invade the mortal realm!" Solomon's figure circled around Andre while speaking, "And, with those demons that I summoned, isn't the world a tad bit more colorful? Perfect paradises aren't always a good thing, Little man."

"I am way older than you, Solomon. You have no right to call me as such." Andre spat with annoyance.

"No." Solomon shook his head amusingly, "Even before your predecessor, I have already been ruling over a realm higher than your creator's universe. If I was a hundred years old, your creator wouldn't even be created inside his father's ball sack. Compared to him, you're still insignificant." He teased the fuming Andre.

"You know my Creator?" Andre narrowed his eyes and questioned the floating ghost of Solomon.

"I am just like you, ándras." Solomon suddenly smiled. "What do you mean?" Andre confusedly asked.

"A being of the main body. An embodiment created from the main body's part, for you, it should be the soul."

"You are a twin, yet not a twin. You were born from him but you are the same in a lot of ways. You could call your main body a brother and a father. You're a ditto, just like me." The ghost smiled as he looked at the flabbergasted Andre.

"I have no care in any of that." Andre suddenly stated. He looked at Solomon straight in the eyes and said, "Now you're here, you will tell me how to–"

"How to open the seal surrounding my Anthology?" Solomon finished what Andre wanted to say. Andre just looked at Solomon without uttering a single word.

"Well, that is my end goal here." Solomon suddenly said, shocking Andre. "End goal?"

"I was tasked by the main body to give you assistance. He said that the book must be given to you for who-knows-what reason." Solomon replied.

"Assistance? You would assist me?" Andre gasped.

"Just in opening the seal. Why would I help you more than that?" He chuckled.

"Then, what should I do?" Andre then turned serious and asked the soul of Solomon.

"You should wear your crown, dimwit." Solomon reprimanded. "Why?" Andre asked suspiciously.

Suddenly, Solomon became angry and reprimanded Andre, "You're the owner of the crown, yet you do not know how to use it properly?! Why does my main body trust such profound knowledge onto you?!" 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

"Your Crown of The Three Absolutes could be considered a pinnacle god-tier item, but you're wasting it by using it only as an ornament!" With how Solomon was looking at him right now, if the soul can solidify physically, he would've slapped Andre real hard on the back of his head. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

"I didn't use it just as an ornament." Andre sneered, "It was the symbol of my power, an almighty crown that became the source of the gods, and it represents the Will…" As Andre went on and on, he suddenly realized something while Solomon was already looking at him with the "you guessed it" kind of look.

"It represents the Will of The World!" Andre gasped. "Why are you surprised by the power of your own item? Have you been so dumb for the past millenia that you forgot what kind of absolute power you are holding?"

"Summarizing the peak ability of the Crown of the Three Absolutes, any gods of this world wouldn't be able to move an inch of their body even if they try hard to do so. Their senses would also be nulled if you want to. That crown can isolate their perception and you will be able to hide the immense aura of the codex even if they see it here themselves."

"You can even reset the world if you wanted to. Can you study the abilities of your personal items so that you can use them efficiently? The same with the codex! Written inside is knowledge that transcends this realm, so use it to the peak of its ability and don't waste it!"

"..then," Andre looked at Solomon with a hopeful gaze as he gook out the codex, "can this codex eliminate the source of the anomalies?"

"That, I don't know." Solomon answered honestly. "The dark matter that is creating those anomalies is a creation that is beyond even that of my main body, so we have no clue how to vanquish them."

"But, although we cannot vanquish it, we can absorb it." Solomon suddenly smiled. "How?"

"With that, you need to contact someone from the outside first."

"How would I contact those of the outside world?"
