Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 966: Evil (Part 1)

What did it mean by an “astonishing change?” Just look at what was right before everyone’s eyes now.

Watching the God of Light suddenly appear as he pulled something out of Chaos’ body while berating it, and then seeing him devour that part of Chaos in one mouthful before the Master of Order could rush over in time to stop him, everyone was at a loss due to the shock and were left in a somewhat dazed state.

What on earth was going on?

The God of Light rushed over and launched an attack at Chaos—yes, this was not difficult to understand. But, why did he say that Chaos was “already a completely old and useless thing?” What exactly did he swallow after pulling it out of Chaos’ body?

As for the Master of Order, his actions were, on the contrary, understandable—to make a long story short, regardless of whatever it was that the God of Light had swallowed, it was definitely not something good!

At least for the Master of Order, when the God of Light swallowed that thing, it would definitely mean that something really terrible had happened.

Then here, there was the question. This matter was very terrible for the Master of Order, who was a greater Divine Power. So what would it be like for the rest who were great Divine Powers?

The God of Sky and Goddess Gaia, who had always been on their guard were the first to react. Without another word said, they took to their heels, turned about and retreated into the winds. It was clear that they had already been prepared for this.

Seeing them take to their heels brought the other great Divine Powers back to their senses. Very quickly, more than one great Divine Power followed in their steps to make a speedy retreat.

What a joke! If two greater Divine Powers were to fight again here, of course they had to quickly run away as far as they could. If not, were they going to wait to be churned into cannon fodder instead?

The Master of Order was a step late. He was not able to stop the God of Light. He suddenly frowned and threw a punch at the God of Light.

This punch of his was simply ingenious. If the God of Light had not blocked it, he would definitely be hit with such force that he would have coughed up whatever it was that he had just swallowed into his stomach. And if the God of Light had counterattacked to resist, it would be difficult for him to suppress that thing that he had just swallowed, let alone integrate it into his body to transform it into his own power.

But in the face of such a punch, the God of Light simply smiled.

He did not resist. Instead, he threw something out.

A light ball.

That light ball flew out to meet with the fist of the Master of Order. Then there was an instant explosion.

The power of this explosion was extremely forceful. Within a split moment, it was ready to spread out in all directions and sweep up everything around. But the God of Light was well-prepared beforehand, who distorted time and space to reverse the direction, and thus this power was brought swashing back instead. So all of it was sent splashing back at the Master of Order without leaking or dispersing at all.

No matter how powerful the Master of Order was, his blow would ultimately be blocked by this power.

Sui Xiong was not too far from them. At close range, he could feel an aura that was spreading in the air amidst the explosion.

That was the aura of the Master of Mystery.

That was the greater Divine Power who was defeated and captured by the Human God System, the Master God of the Mystery God System, the Master of Mystery.

This was a god who was once a top dog in the Pantheon Temple. He was a god who was respected by many other gods and also a god whom the people believed in. After being captured, there was no further news about him. Now, he finally re-appeared but was transformed into a bomb by the God of Light.

A bomb that was used to block the Master of Order at the most critical moment so that the God of Light could buy time for himself.

The Master of Mystery obviously had his intelligence erased. If he had even a bit of intelligence left and knew of his own end, probably he would not have died in such a way—he would most probably feel that, if he had known earlier, he should have just died as heroically as the God of Spellcaster.

Following his death, many things became unsettled, and many questions were pending answers. For instance, why had the treasure left behind by the Elven Race fallen into his hands?

Judging from the attitudes of the God of Conspiracy and the God of Potion, it was obvious that they all knew the whereabouts of this treasure. Why did they not get the treasure back and rather leave it out in the open as a lost item? Was this not too dangerous?

What role did the Master of Mystery play in this matter? A lucky scavenger? Or a guardian of whom the Elf King had entrusted the task of protecting the treasure of the elves with?

Sui Xiong had always been curious about these questions and wanted to find a chance to make inquiries. But both the God of Conspiracy and the God of Potion were dead. And now, even the Master of Mystery was dead. The past would probably become unanswered cases pending answers, and no one would ever learn of the truth again.

What a pity!

Sui Xiong secretly lamented to himself as he quickly turned about to escape, avoiding the battlefield of the two greater Divine Powers.

He was merely shocked for a brief moment. He was not shocked to the point of losing his senses. If not now, how much longer did he have to wait before making his escape?

As he was galloping away, he saw a figure. This figure was not leaving. Instead, it was approaching at a high speed and was heading straight for Chaos.

The moment it brushed past him, Sui Xiong could clearly see who that figure belonged to. It was none other than the Dragon of Chaos, whose three faces showed different expressions of anxiety, anticipation and wild delight, respectively.

“What is he intending to do?”

Sui Xiong had some doubts but did not dare to slow down. The God of Light and the Master of Order were about to start a great war very soon. If he waited another moment later before leaving, he would be swept into their battle. By then, even ten lives would not be enough to save him from death!

He retreated a distance of at least a dozen worlds away in one breath and only stopped to look back after he had withdrawn all the way to reach the side of his big brother, Yorgaardman.

The white light in front of the Master of Order had not yet dissipated. That was a bomb made out of a great Divine Power. All the power of the Master of Mystery burst forth at this moment, and the might of this power that was restrained by the God of light poured out in the direction of the Master of Order. No matter how strong he was, he would still have to remain in his original spot for the time being to focus on resisting this blow.

But this blow would not persist for long. Sui Xiong estimated that after around two to three seconds, the force of the explosion would start to weaken. By that time, the Master of Order would most probably not need to exert much strength to get rid of all traces of this power.

But for the God of Light, he had not intended to fight for a lot of time in the first place. Perhaps this much time was already more than enough. Even if there was not enough time, he could always fight for some more. It was always good to buy oneself more time.

And at this time, the Dragon of Chaos was also making good use of time by keeping himself busy with his own matters.

The dragon crashed head-on into the body of Chaos, which seemed to have lost all its vitality after something was taken away from it, thus causing its entire body to go limp as though it was paralyzed. Then, Chaos’ body was seen moving again. It started to slowly squirm and wriggle again, constantly distorting itself and changing its shape. Then gradually, it changed to taking the form of a dragon.

It was very clear that the Dragon of Chaos was going to turn things the other way around and devour Chaos in return. He wanted to seize its body and power back that had been previously swallowed by the God of Evil so that he could once again turn back into the God of Evil, who was a greater Divine Power.

Sui Xiong was not optimistic about the Dragon of Chaos’ risk-taking endeavor—which was to gain a profit via taking a risk on the battlefield where a war between two greater Divine Powers was about to commence. This certainly seemed like it would bring death. But he had to admire the Dragon of Chaos’ courage as well as the determination to be so resolute and decisive at a critical moment.

If the dragon had even the slightest bit of hesitation, perhaps the chances of success would be even slimmer. Now… at least judging from the situation the God of Light was in, perhaps it was possible that the Dragon of Chaos would succeed.

At that moment, the God of Light’s face suddenly went pale and green, which was a very strange sight. From time to time, his face would reveal a ferocious and evil expression, which was overflowing with murderous intent. In the past, though he had shown such fiendish intentions to kill more than once, those intentions were extremely clean and clear. They had nothing to do with hatred and were just like soldiers who had to set foot onto the battlefield because of issues like differences in ideas or positions. But now, this murderous vibe he exuded was gloomier and murkier. Even from a distance away, one could also feel the deep malice, and it made everyone tremble with fear.

Looking at his strange appearance, Sui Xiong had to frown as a premonition arose within him.

What on earth did the God of Light pull out of Chaos’ body and swallow just now? Why was there such a bizarre change happening to such a formidable greater Divine Power? And why did he want to swallow that thing?

Just then, he heard the voice of the God of Water Elements.

“That’s the God of Evil. He swallowed the God of Evil.
