Chapter 637: Obeying Your Will
The Snake of Misfortune was stunned, repeating the process of 'Fists hardened—That's the master—Change target—Wrong person glared at.'
"Goddess's Fist? What did you knock out?" Lord Nai Ge and Anthony both saw what Seeing Ange had done and curiously gathered around.
Seeing Ange said, "No consciousness." As he spoke, he punched the little chubby snake again—rebirth.
The little chubby snake convulsed entirely, curling into a ball, tensed to the extreme before suddenly relaxing, then a snot bubble emerged from its nose.
Lord Nai Ge gasped: "This is... alive? No consciousness? You treated 'no consciousness' as a flaw and knocked it out with one punch? This works? How is that possible? How can 'no consciousness' count as a flaw?"
Lord Nai Ge felt his worldview collapsing; although divine arts were very unreasonable, this was too unreasonable. Knocking out an 'existing' flaw was understandable, but now knocking out a flaw that was originally 'non-existent'—what kind of operation was this?
"Doesn't work?" Seeing Ange tilted his head in confusion, looking at the little chubby snake again.
Pop—a soft sound, the little chubby snake's snot bubble burst, followed by slow inhalation, then another snot bubble slowly swelling up; the little chubby snake was alive.
The Snake of Misfortune's entire heart was melting, its eyes brimming with affection, wanting to go over and coil around the little chubby snake, but Seeing Ange stopped it: "Fragile, don't touch."
Lord Nai Ge quickly translated: "Too fragile, don't touch it, careful not to hurt it."
"Oh oh oh." The Snake of Misfortune had no hands or feet, but its current state was perfectly described as at a loss.
Even 'getting a child late in life' might not be quite appropriate, after all, no one gets old enough to have a child at six hundred thousand years old; judging purely by age, it was several times older than an ancient tree.
Wanting to approach but daring not, suddenly remembering how cold it was here, would the little chubby snake catch a cold? Should it cover it with a blanket? But then thinking again, would a blanket make it too hot? Its own child should not fear heat, various thoughts flooded in, leaving it at a loss.
Anthony shook his head repeatedly and quickly diverted its attention: "Does this count as having consciousness? Didn't you say consciousness cannot be cultivated?"
The Snake of Misfortune's attention was immediately diverted: "It probably doesn't count; we can only say this body is alive. Whether it has consciousness is still uncertain. Even if it does, you cannot judge whether it was cultivated or bestowed by the Supreme Law."
"Uh, something that cannot be verified cannot be called a Law, can it? Shouldn't a Law be truth wherever it is placed? If it cannot be verified at will, how do you know that is the Supreme Law?" Anthony asked in confusion.
"Because the Will of the Void said so," the Snake of Misfortune said.
Anthony's heart skipped a beat: "The Will of the Void?"
"Yes, the Will of the Void, the Supreme Will of the Void," the Snake of Misfortune said.
Deep within the Void, a chubby worm was slowly wriggling there, slowly opening its mouth, slowly biting down on the empty space before it; as if it had bitten something, the worm chewed contentedly.
The entire process was extremely slow, so slow that without fast-forwarding, an ordinary person would not even notice the worm's movements, and moreover, because there were no reference points, no one could tell the size of the worm.
Until a certain moment, the worm suddenly tilted its head, because it heard the Will of the Void: "Hole Worm, bring the Abyssal Maw over."
"Guu—" the chubby Hole Worm emitted a strange syllable, then opened its huge mouth; after a while, a humanoid creature flew out from the Hole Worm's large mouth.
Only when this humanoid creature appeared was there a reference point to compare the size of the Hole Worm; if this humanoid creature was of normal human size, then the Hole Worm's mouth was equivalent to a plane, and gathering all creatures of the entire Prime Plane into a single pile would not fill this huge mouth.
The Hole Worm was obviously uninterested in such humanoid creatures that couldn't even fill its tooth gaps; after spitting the other party out, it began wriggling and crawling elsewhere.
The humanoid creature bowed to the Void and respectfully said: "Will of the Void, you summoned me?"
"Someone has broken the Supreme Law and created new consciousness; go find him and eliminate him." A voice arose in the humanoid creature's mind.
"Someone broke the Supreme Law again? Who?" The humanoid creature instantly had a headache; how could someone break the Supreme Law again? Was the Supreme Law so easily broken?
Why use 'again'? Because the previous fellow who broke the Supreme Law was still alive, and now he could not do anything to that opponent.
"What about the Undead Sovereign?" the humanoid creature asked.
The Will of the Void fell silent for a moment, then said: "What the Undead Sovereign broke was the Second Supreme Law—consciousness cannot be plundered; this one broke the First Supreme Law—consciousness cannot be created. This threat is greater; eliminate him first."
"Yes, I obey your will. How should I refer to this 'him'?" the humanoid creature asked.
Asking for a title was actually unnecessary; whether called 'him' or 'it', it was just a code name, but the humanoid creature still asked, as this could gain more information from the Will of the Void.
For instance, the title 'Undead Sovereign' was revealed by the Will of the Void; from the title, one could know the opponent was related to undead creatures, allowing a targeted search to find the opponent quickly.
Unfortunately, the opponent came to him faster, putting him at a disadvantage, and now he had no way to eliminate the Undead Sovereign.
But regardless, having more information was still good.
The Will of the Void hesitated unusually: "I heard many chaotic pieces of information: Undead, Planting, Harvest, Redemption, Knowledge, Scales of Equality... It seems a group of gods joined hands to break the Supreme Law, but the clearest is the Goddess of Beauty; perhaps she is the one leading this. Eliminate her."
The humanoid creature was shocked; even the Will of the Void could not determine it? But hearing a string of god names, he actually felt much more relaxed.
If the gods joined hands, the matter would not be so troublesome; they could be defeated one by one.
On the contrary, breaking the Supreme Law single-handedly would definitely be far more difficult to deal with than a group of gods; that would at least be on the level of the Undead Sovereign.
Of course, there were even harder ones to deal with, such as all these god names belonging to one person, but this possibility was almost zero.
"Alright, I obey your will." The humanoid creature bowed again, turned, and flew toward the Hole Worm.
The Hole Worm sensed his movement and reluctantly opened its huge mouth, letting the other party fly inside.
When he appeared again, the humanoid creature had arrived in another patch of Void; ahead was the Chaos Plane, which looked like a large plate, with mist piled in the center forming a mound, while the surroundings spread out into a flat plane, like a large round plate with a circle placed in its center.
He habitually called it the Chaos Plane; everyone called it that, but the correct name should be Accretion Disk.
The humanoid creature faced the direction of the Chaos Plane and opened his huge mouth; once he opened his mouth, everyone knew why he was called the Abyssal Maw; his mouth opened wider than his body, and inside there were no oral tissues or teeth, but a pitch-black abyss with no visible bottom.
With his call, a black mist surged from the Chaos Mist, slowly flying over; when this black mist approached, it finally became clear: this was no mist at all, but a huge crowd of humanoid creatures.
Each had a black body, black wings, and black light wings.
