Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 995 - 462 Almighty True Knowledge’s Analysis

The golden Ancient Dragon roared, immediately transforming from dragon form into a human shape, its face filled with horror as it fled at high speed toward the passage leading outside the cave...

It was clear that the Ancestor of the Law had sensed Rona’s ascension from demigod to godhood.

The vast difference in strength between gods and demigods made it realize that it had no chance of resistance, and that escape was the only option.

But could a demigod truly escape the grasp of a deity?

Rona raised her magic wand, pointing it at the fleeing figure. The Knowledge Grating instantly sprang from the ground, trapping the enemy firmly within...

The Ancestor of the Law attacked the Knowledge Grating frantically, a magic that it could have broken through with several strikes before had now become unshakable. No matter how it attacked, the grating neither shattered nor showed the slightest ripple.

The Knowledge Grating gradually reduced its size, squeezing the Ancestor of the Law’s space to move, until it was firmly fixed in place, unable to even lift a hand or turn around.

The Ancestor of the Law eventually gave up struggling, saying furiously, "Analysis Power... Even though your own faith lies with the Stars, how can you use the Analysis Power? Who exactly are you!?

"Do you think by using the Analysis Power to ascend to immortality, you can win?"

"How terribly wrong you are!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Indeed, only eternity can kill eternity, but take a good look at those lumps of rotting flesh..."

"Those stubborn fools have already been devoured by Chaos, turned into mad monsters. If you think that the monsters of Chaos will help you, give up on that foolish dream!"

"Moreover, to deal with it, you did not hesitate to become gods through the path of Analysis Power. How foolish and ignorant you are, the price of doing so will be so painful that it’s beyond your imagination!"

"Look at that rotting flesh; hey, that is your pathetic end!"

Rona shook her head coldly and said, "It was once a devout follower of the Almighty True Knowledge, forced to lay itself into the embrace of the Stars in pursuit of divine power."

"But can changing your faith block out Chaos? Can ascending to godhood through the Stars’ path of ’Dividing Authority’ truly free you from Chaos?"

"Ancestor of the Law, you are the best example. Even after changing faith, you cannot escape Chaos, you can only slightly delay the progress of Chaos corroding you."

"Moreover, it has just analysed not only a way to erase an ’eternal position’ but also a more brutal truth..."

"Whether it’s the Analysis Power derived from Omniscience or the Dividing Authority origination from the Stars, both have been tainted with Chaos!"

"Compared to Analysis Power, the Stars’ Dividing Authority is less corrupted by Chaos. But once tainted with Chaos, even a deity as powerful as the Almighty True Knowledge cannot escape. Do you think the Stars will be spared?"

"Since ascending to godhood through any pathway will ultimately turn into a monster of Chaos, there’s no difference to it whether it happens a day earlier or later. Ascending to godhood during the most crucial moment is what truly matters."

...

You know, what Rona referred to as the most crucial moment, is to assist you in obtaining the Dragon Clan Ancestor’s inheritance, seeking that slim hope of salvation.

Hearing Rona’s words, you can’t help but recall the content of the Abyss Oracle...

...

Of course, the Abyss would not forget that most terrifying existence—Chaos!

In the end, the once Abyss and Stars, and even the once all-knowing will no longer exist, because assimilation is bidirectional. While assimilating the Servant of God, the Abyss and Stars will also be assimilated by the Omniscient Authority containing Chaos.

The bodies of three Main Gods will serve as the vessels to absorb Chaos and perish...

And they will be reborn as new entities in the bodies of the fully assimilated ’Children of the Abyss,’ those who have segregated and expelled all traces of Chaos!

...

Rona’s analysed answer was undoubtedly correct, for the answers corresponded exactly with the Abyss Oracle.

You realize that the final moments foretold in the oracle, ’To cleanse Chaos, to destroy the world,’ are upon you!

The time and opportunity left for you to ’save the world’ are running out...

Yet the Ancestor of the Law wildly retorted, "Impossible! Chaos was born of the Evil God of Omniscience, and the only source of Chaos is the Evil God."

"The Stars could not possibly approach Chaos voluntarily, the Authority of Stars could not possibly be tainted with Chaos, and it, having already betrayed the Evil God of Omniscience, could not possibly be tainted with Chaos!"

"You’ve gone mad! It’s you who are spouting madness!"

"You are the pitiful monsters that have been eroded by Chaos!"

Rona let out a cold laugh, raised her hand, and lifted a sheet of Twilight of the Stars, the mercury-like dazzling starlight reflected the Ancestor of the Law’s face, that waxen moult of a face, grotesquely decayed and twisted.

The Ancestor of the Law’s frenzied shouting abruptly stopped as it stared blankly at its own face, the sign of mutation eroded by Chaos, it was doomed to become a monster of Chaos just like the other Dragon Clan Ancestors.

It had treasonously abandoned the faith it once treasured as life itself, had traitorously sold out companions as close as family, willing to become a lapdog for the Stars, flattering a mere Immortal deity ’Executor’...

It had cast aside belief, conscience, dignity, all to escape the terrifying Chaos.

So why was the ending like this?

The Ancestor of the Law muttered, it wasn’t tainted with Chaos, it wasn’t tainted with Chaos...

It must’ve gotten sick from that filthy whore, the Ancient Dragon, it would recover after a few days of rest... Right! It was just sick and not tainted with Chaos, just a little rest would restore it...
