Chapter 795 Final Battle Part 20

A divine self-destruction would forever be the final technique used by any God in order to transform their own eternal life and endless divine power into an explosion of despair that would drag their enemy to death with them.

A Low God could even kill a more powerful God with this. The importance of self-destructions keeping divine society relatively stable couldn’t be understated.

However, was the current situation really that bad for Sophocles that he would need to go to such an extent?

Things obviously weren’t that bad for him at all. The Chaos Abyss army was still endlessly arriving through the Dimensional Door. The Chaos Main Gods weren’t at an overwhelming disadvantage yet. Nothing would have ended quickly at that point… and even if the Chaos Faction lost here, wouldn’t it have been fine for Sophocles to run away? Would he really be stupid enough to die for the sake of the Chaos Faction?

Just how much had he invested into this battle? Why did he sacrifice everything he had? Why did he drag other Main Gods into dying together with him?

I couldn’t understand, but I knew that the person in front of me could definitely give me an explanation.

“Karwenz! Just what have you done!?”

To me personally, the unknown was frustrating, and I especially hated the feeling of having someone else make me dance to their whims.

However, I was certain that this person would give me the answer.

The battlefield currently seemed like an ancient battlefield right out of a myth. There was no apparent difference between the sky and the earth. The blue sky and white clouds had been replaced by the universe and the stars. All the basic dimensional laws had been completely shattered.

I had never witnessed such a frightening scene before. Countless dimensional cracks had been torn open. Vision, sound, and even feelings were all distorted. Time and space had obviously become unbalanced here. A distance that was clearly only a few meters away seemed as if it was more than 1000 kilometers away.

No, it was indeed more than 1000 kilometers away. Taking one step would result in your next step landing at someplace unknown. Since the basic dimensional laws of space had been completely distorted here, nothing was stable and every step would represent countless possibilities. On such a battlefield, someone of Gold rank wouldn’t even have the right to become cannon fodder.

“Answer me! Karwenz!”

The most obvious existence on this chaotic battlefield was probably the gigantic God before me.

“Hey, isn’t this my older brother? As expected of a cockroach like you. Even this explosion wasn’t able to kill you.”

Karwenz still had that familiar figure, appearance, and casual attitude. I never expected that I would be so angry to see my own face.

I took one step forward, but then suddenly appeared at a location 300 meters behind me. It would seem that it was impossible for me to reach Karwenz since the dimensional laws weren’t stable here yet.

I looked all around me and saw endless destruction on the battlefield. However, there were still survivors.

The Cloud Tower, which was emitting thick plumes of smoke, had crash-landed onto the ground. It seemed like half of it was destroyed. Still, no matter how severe the damage, the very fact that the Cloud Tower hadn’t been completely destroyed into smithereens of dust meant that the mages had managed to survive.

Also, Titan, who was the most powerful Main God level existence on our side, wasn’t near the core of the explosion. He was sufficiently far away to react in time to defend himself. Titan was currently kneeling on one knee while viciously glaring at Karwenz.

Titan’s opponent Donatis was barely holding on, but Donatis had also managed to survive the explosion.

However, things weren’t so good for the other battle between Main Gods.

I recalled that right when Sophocles self-destructed, he had used his special ability to split himself into two bodies. His Demon Main God half had dashed towards and targeted me, Kalumandas, and the God of Holy Light’s incarnation, trying to inflict maximum damage with the countering element of Chaos.

Sophocles’ Order God half, the God of Evolution, had dashed towards Heimor and Barbarot’s battle…

Only shredded flesh and Chaos energy remained where Heimor and Barbarot had been battling. Incredibly valuable divinity, God Equipment shards, a Demon Main God heart, and so on were all casually strewn around as if they were garbage. I could sense Heimor’s power was present, but not his existence. It seemed that both Heimor and Barbarot had perished.

Kalumandas, the God of Wisdom. Barbarot, the Main God Devourer. Heimor, the Devil Lord of Despair. If I also included the God of Holy Light’s incarnation, Sophocles had instantly managed to kill four Main God level existences with his self-destruction.

These Main Gods weren’t simply individuals. Order Gods would be the amalgamations of various dimensional laws. An Order Main God would be the peak existence of an entire God Faction and system. They were capable of changing dimensional laws with a single statement. They would be the controllers of certain dimensional laws.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Main Gods were the products of chaotic evolution. They would have devoured countless souls during their growth. Every Chaos Main God’s death would cause countless devoured souls to return to the Cycle of Reincarnation, reaching the point where it would even affect the River Styx’s depth.

Right here, in just a short instant, six Main Gods (Sophocles counted as being both an Order and Chaos Main God with his two bodies) had perished simultaneously. This was just like forcefully removing a large chunk of the ocean suddenly. There would be an enormous hole left behind. Plus, the items left behind by the Main Gods’ deaths also contributed to the extreme instability in this area.

I learned plenty simply by looking around me. By now, I could pretty much guess at Sophocles and Karwenz’s plan, but…

“Bro, since you’ve already guessed it, why bother asking? Wasting words isn’t your style at all.”

The Abyss Prince hadn’t come here simply to observe the situation. Countless small demons flew out from behind him. They were carrying heavy obsidian as they descended and seemed to start constructing something.

I fell silent. Indeed, I had guessed Karwenz’s objective here, but I hadn’t expected that it would be on such a grand scale.

“…For the sake of opening the door to the dimensional barrier? Just for the sake of opening that door?”

However, I was really surprised when Karwenz directly shook his head.

“No, there’s actually no door at all. The two old hags (Creator Goddesses of Order and Chaos) went to an extreme and sealed off the entire Eich universe, making the Eich universe an enclosed room with no doors or windows whatsoever. In such a scenario, it would be impossible to open the door to the dimensional barrier even with the key, because there was no lock or door.”

“…That’s why you must create a door with an explosion. The Main Gods were the necessary sacrifices for this?”

Although I was asking a question, my tone was certain. This was the only possibility that would offer enough potential benefits for Sophocles to be willing to pay such a tremendous price.

Karwenz shrugged and smiled as he showed me three fingers.

“Three Main Gods was the minimum that I required. However, Afu completed his mission quite wonderfully by giving me a sacrifice of six Main Gods. This area has already begun initialization. This place shall become the door leading to new universes.”

Karwenz wasn’t even emotional as he simply stated the facts. However, such abnormal calmness obviously wasn’t normal for Karwenz’s personality, so I could faintly tell just how resolved he was.

“Ha, an initialized world won’t be analyzed so quickly. Stop thinking so much about it. Relax, I’m not interested in those parasites, either.”

Karwenz then glanced at the outskirts of the battlefield, where the Cloud Tower was slowly rising up into the sky again. It seemed that he had seen through my plan of stalling him so that the survivors could safely retreat.

“Parasites?”

“Isn’t that the case? Those guys are clearly humans as well, but they think that it’s only natural for them to receive venerated treatment from ordinary humans just because they’ve learned some minor inklings about magic and feel that they control the secrets of the universe. They think that they’re much better than humans, and don’t view themselves as humans anymore. They only want to enjoy the benefits, but never work to do anything for humans. Isn’t that what a parasite is? Haha, these are the exact words that you previously told me.”

I instantly fell silent after hearing this. From my standpoint back then, the Mage Country clearly possessed the strongest power in this world, yet never tried to do anything to change the world for the better. My extreme views and attitude back then meant that it was quite normal for me to say something like this back then… But I would need to be careful as it would be quite troublesome if the mages held a grudge over hearing me say this.

“Ahem, we all heard this already.”

Harloys sent me that as a secret mental message while the light of teleportation magic illuminated me in the next instant. It seemed that the Cloud Tower had already finished analyzing the dimensional space here.

I glanced at Karwenz and asked another question in the end.

“…Why are you telling me all this? Why aren’t you simply killing me?”

Karwenz had a strange expression on his face as if he felt that this was a strange question for me to ask him.

“Why would I kill you? Ha, just by asking me this, I know that the old hag in your body still hasn’t told you everything yet. Go back and ask her properly about our undying trait—”

I didn’t hear the rest of his words, as I was instantly teleported back to the Cloud Tower. However, I had a big headache from the last thing that I saw on the battlefield.

The Yongye City that I had worked so hard to construct was now mostly destroyed. Additionally, its core had also been opened due to all the destruction. I just saw a certain familiar figure crawl out of the core while glaring at me with pure hatred—Conservation…
