Chapter 506 Ending All War
Chapter 506 The War to End Everything
Boundary between mountains and sea, primeval forest.
When Kosh'e's incarnation self-destructed, and the Third Divine Enemy withdrew from Dongxia, Hualetian began to tremble and gradually collapsed.
This space, which evolved through the power of Great Freedom and was born from the blood sacrifice of Great Freedom believers, has now lost the support of its source and naturally cannot continue to exist.
Bai Ze withdrew his thoughts, blinked rapidly a few times, and adjusted to the sensory discomfort.
Witnessing the battle between two divine enemies was almost unbearable for Bai Ze.
Whether it is the divine will of the God of War, "Heaven and Earth are indifferent," or the transformation of reality and illusion by the third divine enemy, they are difficult to explain with common sense, and even difficult to describe with supernatural powers.
If Bai Ze were present in his true form, he might actually have to risk his life to watch the battle and die.
However, there were also gains.
Bai Ze let out a soft breath, looked at the swaying world before him, and said, "Condense."
The trembling Hua Letian suddenly stabilized, and the signs of collapse ceased.
Observing the God of War's operation of opening up the world with divine will, as well as the transformation of the third divine enemy into reality and illusion, Bai Ze has learned something.
At this moment, Hua Letian was without a master, so Bai Ze took the opportunity to take control using the identity brought by his words and the Great Freedom Demon Blood.
However, Bai Ze's power was insufficient to support the vast Hualetian.
Therefore, "receive".
The space began to become illusory, and the barriers disappeared one by one.
The evil gods and warriors of the Heavenly Gate, who were inside the Paradise of Bliss, also sensed the presence of others.
At the same time, they also saw the boundaries becoming illusory and gradually shrinking.
"Hua Letian is unstable and needs to contract."
Lakshmi was the first to sense the situation and scanned the area, locking her gaze onto a figure in the distance.
The figure, surrounded by the seven stars, raised his right hand, and the entire Hualetian rippled towards his palm.
"He's going to get his hands on Hua Letian!"
"Grab him!"
There was no need for further words, nor was there time to berate Kosh'e for being unreliable. Right now, the evil gods had only one thought: to seize Hualetian.
As Hua Letian began to reclaim them, their forms changed and became transparent. The vast divine power they once possessed was now like a reflection in water, flashy but insubstantial.
At that moment, Lakshmi and the Lord of the Sita Forest transformed into light and flew, merging into the fluctuations of spatial contraction, heading towards Bai Ze.
A ferocious aura swept over, and an invisible divine thought eroded the mind, evolving into a series of hideous and malevolent appearances in Bai Ze's sea of consciousness.
"Since Hualetian is in my hands, you are naturally among them as well."
Seeing the gusts of evil wind approaching, Bai Ze remained motionless and simply said in a soft voice, "Leave your divine senses behind."
As soon as he finished speaking, a perfectly round sphere appeared in his palm. The already distorted space instantly turned into a vortex, spiraling towards the sphere.
Hua Letian's essence is to turn the illusory into the real, while Bai Ze is now turning the real back into the illusory.
The evil gods' bodies returned to their original forms, and because they had once resided in the Heaven of Bliss, they were now also taken back by the Heaven of Bliss.
The three evil gods, including Lakshmi, the Lord of the Sita Forest, and the Goddess of the Sita Forest, transformed into divine thoughts, which were then stirred up by the vortex and drawn into the sphere.
Those murderous intents transformed into angry roars of resentment, all swallowed up by the vortex.
Chernobog, however, the Black God of Ursus, did not resist. Even when Hualetian tried to take him back, he was still able to maintain his divine will and was not taken back.
That which was originally like the embodiment of darkness has now become a mere shadow.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all."
Bai Ze looked at the other person with considerable surprise.
"Of course there's no rush."
From the shadows came a calm voice, "I know a little about Kosh'e's plan. Although the primeval forest has completely collapsed, it seems to have succeeded in Dongxia."
Chernobog's voice rose, making it known to all: "Chaos is about to descend once more; our time is coming."
The lingering sound echoed endlessly in the sky, and the divine consciousness of the Black God gradually dissipated.
Unfortunately, they were unable to capture his divine thoughts. With only the divine thoughts of these three evil gods, they could only support Hua Letian's operation for a minute at most.
Bai Ze watched Chernobog disappear with regret, and the Hualetian in his hand also fell silent.
The operation of Hua Letian requires the support of intention.
Kosh'e sacrificed all the followers of the Great Freedom who came to the primeval forest with their blood. It was only through the continuous sacrifices of the followers of the evil gods and the dominance of "Great Freedom" that the Paradise was able to be established, allowing the four evil gods to reveal their true forms.
Now that the source is cut off, Bai Ze can only reclaim the remaining mental energy. Combined with the divine thought of the evil god, this should allow Hua Letian to activate for another minute, giving Bai Ze another minute to experience the power of the Heavenly Gate.
The faith and spiritual power from Japan should be able to supplement this, but even so, it's still not enough. "After all, I am not the Great Freedom," he said, making it difficult to keep the Paradise of Transformation running continuously.
But if it can be effective in a short time, that's enough.
As Bai Ze pondered this, he glanced at the several Heavenly Gate warriors who were gradually surrounding him.
"Then, the followers of the evil god in the primeval forest are entrusted to you."
99
He smiled, bowed slightly, and then said softly, "So close yet so far."
The space stretched out instantly, and Bai Ze's figure receded into the distance as the space shifted, until it became a black dot on the horizon.
The auras of the four Heavenly Gate warriors who surrounded them arrived immediately, but they missed their target.
"who is he?"
The Dragon King's eyes flashed like lightning as he detected a peculiar palm strike—"I sense the intent to ascend."
Regarding the meaning of "ascending to the heights," the Dragon King believed that no one in the world, except Ye Liuyun himself, understood it better than him.
He immediately recognized that Bai Ze had just used "Ascending Intent".
The other three had different expressions, as if they each had their own thoughts.
However, before they could even begin their discussion, the communication jade slips of all four of them rang simultaneously.
After leaving Hualetian, the communication jade slip was finally able to make contact.
Within a space resembling a starry sky, a stone platform floats silently.
The third enemy of the gods walked up the stone steps to the platform, his gaze sweeping over the throne, which was arranged in a semi-circle.
There were twelve thrones in total, each occupied by a figure exuding divine might.
"The madman who usurped God's throne, the new Great Freedom."
On the central throne sat a burly figure.
It was an old man with a large white beard, and thunderbolts, which materialized into javelins, surrounded the throne.
...
.....
Jupiter, the first of the twelve gods of Shinra.
He is the supreme god worshipped by the Shinra Empire, and the strongest among the twelve gods.
Jupiter's booming voice, like thunder, echoed through the starry sky: "I hope your reward will be commensurate with the price we have paid."
As Jupiter spoke, whether his words were cold, violent, fiery, or alluring, the gazes and thoughts of the twelve gods all focused on the third enemy.
"In fact, even without me, Shinra would have been an enemy of Dongxia sooner or later."
The third divine enemy remained unmoved by the focus of divine thought; in fact, the faint black aura flowing around him silently swallowed the divine thought.
He stood calmly and said indifferently, "The first divine enemy of Dongxia is about to return, and the long-standing confrontation between the second divine enemy, Pei Dongliu, and the God of the Human Realm is about to come to an end. Once the first divine enemy makes a move, the God of the Human Realm will have no choice but to hand over the opportunity of the Undying Volcano to others."
"At that time, in order to prevent the emergence of a fourth divine enemy in Dongxia, you will still have to take action."
"Although they are all evil gods, you are all familiar with an old saying from Dongxia: 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.'"
"If humanity unites as one because of the strength of a certain power, the first thing to target will be other races."
"So, we should thank you?" Neptune, the god of the sea, sneered from his throne surrounded by azure divine light.
"No need for thanks, just continue to support us."
The third divine enemy remained calm and said, "The contradictions in Dongxia have reached their peak. The choice is either to resolve the contradictions or to shift them outwards. The latter will result in war, while the former... you should not give the enemy a chance. The mortal gods who have just seized the opportunity will not give Dongxia time either."
"The gods of the mortal realm will not sit idly by and wait for the two divine enemies of Dongxia to cause trouble, but will seize the opportunity and take the initiative to strike."
"Douglas, the strongest warrior in the Western Union, also needs a war. He wants to use the war to ascend to the throne of the leader."
"Even powerful beings from other worlds are eager to start a war. For example, the spirit machines of the mechanical world and the other evil gods of the spirit realm."
The arrival of the third divine enemy is like a prophecy, heralding the coming of war.
He personally outlined a grand blueprint, which he presented to the twelve gods.
"War breeds fanatical faith and can capture more believers."
"Harvesting faith, expanding the concept of the clergy, and bringing about a completely new transformation for you all."
"Everything will unfold in the war to come."
As the third divine enemy explained, divine thoughts unconsciously fluctuated.
He was like a bewitching devil, stirring up the desires of the twelve gods.
For the twelve gods, faith is the greatest treasure.
Furthermore, this war was not initiated by the Holy Roman Empire alone; the Western Alliance was also involved.
Douglas, having lost the Iron Continent due to the failure of his Japan strategy, desperately needs the advantage that war can bring.
He is the strongest demigod in the Western Alliance and a five-star general with the greatest military expertise. Once war breaks out, he will inevitably take the lead.
Even gods on earth must hold onto the fruits of their victory to avoid losing them.
He had been locked in a standoff with the God of War for so many years, and having finally succeeded, he wouldn't give up easily.
And then there's this traitor from Dongxia right now. Once Dongxia stabilizes, we'll hunt him down.
The third enemy also needs war.
What a coincidence, so many parties need war.
And so, war was about to break out.
Jupiter did not speak, but the thunder surrounding him revealed his determination and true intentions.
Or rather, this meeting was intended to demonstrate Jupiter's resolve to others.
Activating the Chaos Fortress and inviting the third divine enemy already demonstrates Jupiter's stance.
Finally, Jupiter spoke again.
The chief god, seated on his throne, surveyed his surroundings, his lion-like gaze sweeping over each of the other gods.
"We need to get involved in this internal human conflict, otherwise Western Union wouldn't be fully committed to the war."
It's very simple. If there's a third party watching the fight, the two tigers will definitely hold back some of their strength to avoid being taken advantage of by the third party.
They might even tear apart the third party first, and then fight each other wholeheartedly.
In the past, the Western Alliance did not have the advantage in terms of divine enemies, but now that the third divine enemy of the Eastern Xia has defected, the number of divine enemies on both sides is equal.
The Shinra Empire didn't actually have many options.
The war will not disappear because of the hesitation of one side; at most, it will just be delayed.
"This will be the war that ends everything."
Jupiter proclaimed: "Through this battle, let our faith expand, and let you ascend to a higher divine position."
Of the twelve gods present, only Jupiter was a true god of the level of Ziva.
The other deities are actually only at the level of the Heavenly Gate.
It is precisely because Jupiter is the strongest that he was able to become the God-King Jupiter in the Shinra mythology and occupy the mainstream of faith.
While the other gods submitted to Jupiter's power, they would not give up any further opportunities.
The Third Divine Enemy did not say anything more, because he had already achieved his goal.
The Shinra Empire is about to enter the war.
Douglas of the Western Union needed war to rise to power, and so did Jupiter of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire is plagued by internal strife, with constant disputes over faith over the years, to the point that this vast empire can only act as a troublemaker, stirring up trouble here and there.
They are strong, but lack ambition.
Jupiter had long intended to integrate the twelve gods and establish a complete belief system based on them.
War is an excellent way to integrate.
At this moment, Jupiter, who had gained the approval of the twelve gods, looked at the third god's enemy again and said, "My ally, it is time for you to show your strength."
"nature."
The Third Divine Enemy slowly raised his hand, "I have replaced the Great Freedom, and the followers of the Great Freedom will also become my followers."
With a wave of his arms, he split into different forms like a phantom, each arm supporting a beam of light and shadow, as if carrying different worlds.
Among those lights and shadows, there were natives of the Black Continent worshipping, Western Union colonists fighting and killing each other in blood, and lewd atmospheres and fallen believers flashing by.
The former third enemy of God called himself "Great Freedom," but in reality, he had only secretly subdued the followers of Great Freedom in the East.
His influence hasn't actually extended to the West yet; at most, he has one or two henchmen.
This is also why Bai Ze only encountered two Black Continent warriors back then.
Now, as the Third Divine Enemy absorbs the Star Network's mental energy, he can connect with other Great Freedom believers through the Great Freedom Demon Blood and exert control over them.
"The Great Demon's Dark Law" is a method that reverses the flow of human emotions.
All the Great Free Believers on Earth will be controlled by the Third God.
"I am the ultimate freedom."
Thus declared the Third Divine Enemy.
As he spoke, his divine thoughts connected with various links, following the blood of the Great Freedom Demon, to convert the followers of the Great Freedom.
