Chapter 20: Reversal
Chumen only arrived at the side of the Ancient God battlefield to watch the battle after dealing with the believers of the Golden Kingdom.
The battles of these Ancient Gods had developed to a point where they were abnormally abstract; they were contests between Authorities, and even more so, contests of various means of application.
In terms of the "Fooling" Authority, different targets of fooling would result in different effects.
This kind of conceptual Authority is truly too inconceivable; one could even pull off a maneuver like a supernova to the face.
"This is the great power of deities!" Chumen saw Medici, Leodero, and others here; they also dared not approach and were only watching the battle from the periphery.
But their camp had a somewhat disruptive intent to begin with, and there were still quite a few angels fighting beneath the Ancient God battlefield.
It could even be said that every named angel and subordinate god had arrived; this might be the most terrifying war in these past thousand years.
Medici and Leodero looked exhilarated, wishing they could throw themselves into it immediately, but they were held back firmly by Sasriel.
Yes, Sasriel was also here. Did this existence, who was like the fuse, actually dare to appear here?
"The Ancient Gods cannot find the Blasphemy Slate; the Destruction Demon Wolf takes the lead in starting the God War, dragging all Ancient Gods into the quagmire of war."
Sasriel muttered to himself.
"Is this a prophecy?" Chumen's heart skipped a beat, as if he had seen a Writer composing a script.
"No, this will be history." Sasriel did not look at Chumen, but solemnly declared.
History... In that case, even the Blasphemy Slate and the "trigger" for this war were no longer important.
He stared fixedly at the Ancient God battlefield, seemingly looking for an opportunity to strike. Of course, he might just be the "eye," and the one truly striking would be the Ancient Sun God sitting steadily above the God's Kingdom.
Just as Chumen expected, the Ancient Sun God, far away in the God's Kingdom, had stopped praying to himself and instead stood quietly at the entrance of the cathedral, using Sasriel as an "eye" to gaze at the Ancient God battlefield from afar.
His state was very peculiar: above his head was a blazing and illusory Sun, behind him was a layer of faint Shadow Curtain, and in his hands was the Blasphemy Slate.
At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly became illusory, and an ocean that seemed to contain all colors and all secrets emerged around him.
"I am the One, and also the Ten Thousand; I am the Lord of Creation, the God of Gods."
He chanted in a low voice, and a nameless giant wave surged within that illusory Chaos Sea for a moment.
The giant wave crowded around him, eventually transforming into a Storm, into a Tower; clearly, the power belonging to the Chaos Sea that the Ancient Sun God could drive was extremely powerful.
He slowly raised his head and looked toward the Astral World; beyond an invisible Barrier, there were one after another indescribable, terrifying giant faces peeking at this world.
The battles of the Ancient Gods were not limited to the Real World; they had stirred up boundless raging waves in the Spirit World and the Astral World, and the commotion was extremely terrifying, and these battles of the Ancient Gods had aroused great interest in these giant faces.
It was just that the current Barrier was too powerful, and the giant faces dared not get too close.
The Ancient Sun God confirmed this point before shifting his gaze away and focusing on the Ancient God battlefield again.
In that Chaos Sea that contained all secrets, text written in an ancient language appeared.
They were composed entirely of the seawater of the Chaos Sea and possessed a strange essence.
If anyone could see these words, they would be unable to resist exploring them, eventually discovering that these words had already touched Fate and become Reality.
That line of ancient text was very brief; it was a description of the current war situation.
"The balance of the Ancient God war has been broken."
This was a prophecy, and perhaps also a manifestation of the Visionary Authority.
The future He declared would surely descend and become Reality!
The Ancient Sun God had not yet withdrawn the Visionary Authority, but He had achieved this with the help of the Chaos Sea.
The war of the Ancient Gods was terrifying to the extreme, shaking the entire Real World; earthquakes, Tsunamis, and Storms—all of this was destroying the world where all living beings survived.
Moreover, because there were exactly eight Ancient Gods fighting in pairs, no one could do anything to the other in a short time; even Ormir, whose mental state was severely damaged, was still fierce, and Authorities like "Twilight," "Night," and "Fooling" could not determine a winner or loser for a time.
This gave the battle between the Ancient Gods a balance that seemed fragile yet difficult to break.
After the prophecy made by the Ancient Sun God using the Chaos Sea, that balance was broken in fact.
"Ah!" Giant King Ormir roared, swinging his sword to slash open the Destruction Divine Kingdom constructed by the fog of history, and Twilight stained everything.
In the Giant King's Court, the Giant Queen gathered nearly all the giants of the present day, held a large-scale sacrifice for Ormir, killed countless Prey, and stimulated the bloodthirst of all giants with blood; they were all roaring and praying—the role of the Anchor was highlighted at this moment!
At this moment, Ormir's state was unexpectedly unprecedentedly good; the mental burden seemed to have been wiped away, and there was no need to spend a large amount of energy to suppress the madness, and in an instant, he erupted with terrifying power.
The state of the Demon Wolf was exactly the opposite; the many Characteristics within his body seemed to be about to explode at a certain moment, and all kinds of crazy thoughts began to echo in his mind; the terrifying impact even caused the Demon Wolf himself to freeze for an instant.
This was reasonable enough; after all, the state of the Ancient Gods was not good to begin with, especially the Destruction Demon Wolf and the Demon Monarch, who were the representatives of destruction and Filth of this era—it was too reasonable for them to go mad from time to time.
Of course, the most likely reason was probably that Sasriel took out a Monocle and used the "Fallen" Authority to give it a living characteristic to a certain extent.
A powerful sense of aggregation was produced, pulling at the Characteristics within the Destruction Demon Wolf's body and the mask on his face.
This caused the relative balance of the Characteristics within his body to be easily broken, and he went mad even more thoroughly.
The prophecy of the Ancient Sun God was realized; the balance of the Ancient God war was broken.
"Lilith! Kill the Demon Wolf first!" The Giant King roared, also noticing that the Demon Wolf's state was wrong; the orange-red Twilight in his eyes was jumping violently.
Whoosh!
Moonlight spilled down, Lilith's Red Moon Curse descended, the shackles of the Abyss rose, and the power of natural life burst forth!
Clusters of Wheat and flowers grew within the moonlight, growing wildly and rolling toward the Demon Wolf like waves.
She was striking with all her might, and even the Alien King was casting the deepest Curse and the most "Temperance"-filled desire for resistance upon the Destruction Demon Wolf.
At the same moment, all the Ancient Gods looked over here, and then, as if casting aside previous grudges, they all attacked the Destruction Demon Wolf together!
The Ancient God alliance, two camps: the humanoid and non-humanoid camps.
The Destruction Demon Wolf and the Demon Monarch belonged to neither; they were the craziest among the Ancient Gods, often falling into a state of no reason, knowing only destruction and ruin.
The Demon Monarch Fabuti was originally the most likely to provide aid to the Destruction Demon Wolf, but unfortunately, he was also mad, and the strife between him and the Destruction Demon Wolf would be no less than with other Ancient Gods!
The battle situation could be said to have undergone a heaven-shaking reversal at this moment; the Destruction Demon Wolf had to face the attacks of seven Ancient Gods in an instant.
This was equivalent to seven of the eight great Ancient Gods reaching a consensus at this moment to divide and eat the Destruction Demon Wolf!
