Added to that, the Cosmic Emperor’s instinctive spit had launched him far away, so by the time the Cosmic Emperor reacted, he’d only covered half the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So someone rescued him,” the God of Wisdom glanced at Ye Nan with a strange expression, then dismissed the thought and focused entirely on the Cosmic Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Rend.” Dark energy transformed into phantom energy, dominating dark force and controlling cosmic expansion—a powerful tearing force descended instantly upon the Cosmic Emperor’s body, and the cracks already present on his form began to show signs of collapse under the pulling force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn Great Rend,” muttered the Cosmic Emperor, resolved to kill this enemy who could break his defenses—afterward, Ye Nan was merely a petty clown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Ye Nan clearly understood the threat the God of Wisdom posed to the Cosmic Emperor, so he immediately used the subspatial network to leap away, grabbed the God of Wisdom, and fled swiftly, putting distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aio,” the Cosmic Emperor shouted in fury as his prey was snatched away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio’s expression was also grim; to conserve divine power, he had merely clung to the spatial fluctuations around the God of Wisdom, never expecting the Cosmic Emperor to spit him out and break free. And just now, he’d been entirely focused on Ye Nan, never considering continuing to cling to the spatial fluctuations to prevent their jump—yet here was the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio knew this was his fault. So when the Cosmic Emperor angrily accused him, he offered no rebuttal, only silently poured out divine power to cling to the spatial fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cosmic Emperor also understood Aio’s strength and didn’t wish to oppress him too harshly—he immediately charged forward to fight alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is bad,” Ye Nan and the God of Wisdom exchanged a glance, both realizing the situation was dire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their distance from the Cosmic Emperor was considerable, it was still limited—and against his speed, this advantage meant nothing. Their mobility, their spatial jumps, were now restricted by Aio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Aio, the master of spatial manipulation, their own spatial expertise was utterly inadequate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buy us some time—I feel the Great Rend is working,” said the God of Wisdom quickly, then flew backward, “Hold him off—that’s victory. If you can’t hold him, we both die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God of Wisdom tossed out those words and fled swiftly, leaving Ye Nan as a shield in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’ve got to be able to hold him,” Ye Nan cursed inwardly, yet smiled outwardly, “Don’t come closer—I have the Leadership Template.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cosmic Emperor said nothing, charging straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan’s face changed—he hadn’t expected the Cosmic Emperor to grow smarter, refusing to fall for the trick. But if he refused to fall for it, Ye Nan was in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really do have the Leadership Template.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan said it again, but unfortunately, the Cosmic Emperor didn’t believe him at all—he kept charging forward without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Cosmic Emperor’s blazing speed, Ye Nan calculated the distance between them, then waved his hand—a barrier of primal force coalesced before the Cosmic Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssssh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound like paper tearing echoed—the primal force barrier shattered as easily as thin paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pathetic power,” said the Cosmic Emperor. “I am the strongest in power, the strongest in defense. These tricks? Trying to stop me? Pure fantasy.” Even as he spoke, his hands didn’t slow—on the contrary, he accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Aio ceased auxiliary attacks—he acted himself, intercepting the God of Wisdom. He tore through space and appeared before the God of Wisdom in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even think of running—you’re doomed to fail,” he said. He hadn’t intended to join the fight, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to intervene: he understood that if the Cosmic Emperor fell, he, a top-level boss from another galaxy, would inevitably face destruction—just like the treacherous Bess he’d once encountered, ruthless and merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cosmic Emperor, his ally, fared far better—at least their goals aligned in some way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Rend,” the God of Wisdom shouted as Aio blocked him, flinging a Great Rend attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Great Rend has no effect on me,” Aio ignored the attack entirely—his body was composed of divine power, whose essence surpassed all other energies; cosmic Great Rend had zero effect on divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Punishment Thunder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio waved his hand, releasing a vast expanse of divine power that formed a storm of thunder above the God of Wisdom, radiating boundless majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A fallen god dares to block my path?” The God of Wisdom, seeing his Great Rend fail, flew into rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio—a fallen god who had never regained his former glory, a sneaky, rat-like deity hiding behind others—what right did he have to stand in his way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fueled by fury, the God of Wisdom hurled a black hole, swallowing Aio and the Divine Punishment Thunder whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s all?” The God of Wisdom sneered. He’d expected the former god of gods, even fallen, to retain some dignity—but he’d been swallowed so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden hand suddenly appeared beneath the God of Wisdom’s feet, snatching him with impossible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Feeling oppressive force pressing in from all directions, sensing sealing power from the void, the God of Wisdom’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden pillars surrounded him from all sides, shaped like clenched fists gripping him tightly, immobilizing him, crushing his body, threatening to grind him to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a power like the Great Rend—but where the Great Rend was tearing force from cosmic expansion, Aio’s was compressive force from cosmic contraction. Still, this power was vastly inferior to true cosmic compression—at least for him, this compressive force could still be resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn Ye Nan, hurry and save me!” The God of Wisdom, certain he couldn’t break free from this Buddha-like Five-Finger Mountain, cried out for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t waste your breath—your voice won’t carry out. And Ye Nan is barely holding on himself—the Cosmic Emperor is countless times stronger than I am now,” came Aio’s voice from outside. His golden eyes opened at a specific frequency—not Aio’s eyes, but the eyes of a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine wrath like a prison, divine grace like an ocean—in the face of those eyes, the God of Wisdom felt the full weight of divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, this doesn’t match the power Aio showed before,” the God of Wisdom cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All along, Aio had appeared pathetically weak. The God of Wisdom, knowing what Aio had endured, easily dismissed him as a negligible figure—destroying him had seemed effortless. But now he saw—he was wrong. Terribly wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Aio had fallen. Even if he had just been revived. Even if he acted like a rat. Even if he hid behind others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aio was Aio—the former god of gods, the King of All Deities who had ruled the Toril galaxy for countless years. Once unleashed, he would shatter all expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn you, you want my life? See if I’ll let you have it,” said the God of Wisdom, gathering dark energy into a tiny black hole in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I declare: the broken shall be made whole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Great Prophecy unfolded, heaven and earth trembled—in an instant, even time froze, and the black hole in the God of Wisdom’s hand calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible,” gasped the God of Wisdom, staring at Aio. He’d seen such power before—words that bent reality—but never had he seen a phrase that altered an entire galaxy, not just a world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dark-energy-simulated black hole was identical to a real one—a genuine black hole. Left to grow, it could swallow an entire galaxy. Yet this black hole was erased by a single word. Such power was chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pity,” sighed Aio as the God of Wisdom trembled in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Aio, the god of gods—when had he ever needed to use a lowly spell like the Great Prophecy? Admittedly, the Great Prophecy could tap into the galaxy’s power, but for him, it was useless—a mere crutch. He himself could dominate the galaxy, forcing it to obey his will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sadly, he had fallen. When he fell, all his divine power scattered. He was forced to conserve it—and the Great Prophecy was a spell of immense power with minimal divine cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Great Prophecy had consequences: though it consumed little divine power, the caster had to endure the galaxy’s backlash. But for Aio, that backlash meant nothing—he could ignore it entirely. (To be continued.
