Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 977: Surpassing the Great Divine Power (Part 1)

Towards the God of Light, who was cheerily mocking them, Sui Xiong and the Master of Order did not waver and instead continued to attack with greater intensity.

A realm higher than that of a great Divine Power? The true great Divine Power? What nonsense!

To a great Divine Power, the idea of life and death was no longer scary or menacing. As long as they had made the necessary preparations, dying hundreds of thousands of times was not an issue, let alone one death. Even if they died, they could continue to train tirelessly and improve themselves indefinitely until they were ready to resurrect.

To really and truly kill a great Divine Power, one had to first cause them to fall from the great Divine Power Realm. They could only truly die if they were no longer great Divine Powers, either by their own free will of leaving the realm or because they were defeated in some ways and forced to drop out.

For example, in the case of the God of Evil, he had swallowed the God of Chaos but was unable to digest him properly, and this had caused his downfall from the great Divine Power Realm. In the end, his core was dug out and swallowed by the God of Light and the God of Evil had thus died there and then.

Another example would be the Dragon of Chaos. Previously, even if he had been swallowed by the God of Evil, he could still use his own great Divine Power Realm to fight his way through the situation and change into the Master of Evil, the Dragon of Chaos. This meant he had not truly fallen yet. He only lost his immortality after he tried to combine with the corpse of chaos and regained his own status, where he had chosen of his own free will to give up the great Divine Power Realm. Afterwards, when he was sneakily attacked by the God of Light, he sustained extremely severe wounds that cost him his life. At that point, the Dragon of Chaos had had no choice but to pass on his powers to Sui Xiong, who could then exact revenge on his behalf.

Otherwise, be it the God of Virtue, who had given up his priesthood of his own accord, or the God of Light, who had been previously defeated by the allied attack of Sui Xiong and the Master of Order, no one could truly die. This was the reason behind Sui Xiong and the Master of Order's disbelief of the God of Light's words!

Towards the "I don't believe you!" attitude displayed by Sui Xiong and the Master of Order, the God of Light shook his head and laughed coldly. "The both of you are truly… stupid and foolish! It's getting hard to watch you both fight pathetically right now…"

With that, the God of Light waved his hands, and an unimaginable large force suddenly descended, sending Sui Xiong and the Master of Order flying. This one hit caused them to fly a large distance where they banged and bumped into several objects along the way, making them dizzy and weak. After they eventually regained full consciousness and composure, they realized that they had been expelled from the Matter Plane of the Ring of the World to its Positive Plane, and were right beside the Wheel of Order.

The God of Light had somehow managed to send them from one plane to another on the Ring of the World with one hit! Such power was truly hard to imagine. Furthermore, even with such a far distance, he was still able to control where they had landed; such control was definitely deadly and scary.

In an instant, the God of Light wasted no time and materialized in front of the duo.

"How weak, how pathetic…" He shook his head as if he was extremely disappointed, and he sighed under his breath. "I can't believe I was defeated by you two weaklings before; what an embarrassment!"

"How did you even get such powers?" Sui Xiong could not help but ask. "Did you fuse light and evil?"

"Fuse light and evil? Hahaha! Your imagination is way too limited! You have no understanding whatsoever of a true great Divine Power!" The God of Light laughed loudly for a long time as if he had just heard a good joke. This laughter went on for a while before he stopped and used a mocking and condescending tone to say, "If one is only bonded by either light or evil, how could one be considered a great Divine Power? I, of course, went beyond that and got myself a pure and full priesthood to reach the true great Divine Power level!"

"Does this mean you have also gone beyond evil?" Sui Xiong furrowed his brow. "If that's the case, why are you still so evil in nature then?"

"Haha! This very question betrays your weakness and narrow-mindedness!" The God of Light started laughing madly again, till his entire body shook. "I have already gone beyond good and evil, gone beyond order and chaos. That does not mean that I can no longer sin! Why can't I still be evil? You are still thinking about mindless things that you are bound to. With such a mindset, you are just someone who simply went beyond the Divine Power stage. However, you are definitely not a true great Divine Power!"

Sui Xiong fell silent as he tried to make sense of the God of Light's words.

On the other hand, the Master of Order spoke up now. "Do you mean to say you have exceeded camps and intrinsic attitudes?"

"That's right!" the God of Light replied approvingly. "Well, it's unsurprising that an elder like yourself, who existed before the Big Circulation, understands matters better as compared to your junior. I have already exceeded the normal rules and the grudges that you both hold on to. Actually, you both do not understand that holding on to grudges is extremely insignificant and meaningless…"

The God of Light raised his hands arrogantly, gazing upwards, and smiled like a child who had successfully managed to kill some insects. This was a purely evil smile.

"I am good, yet I am also evil. I am order, yet I am also chaos. I am all this world is, and I am the true logic of this world!"

His head was bowed, but his body continued to rise up as he glanced at Sui Xiong and the Master of Order. "I am a higher existence like no other! Before killing the both of you, I will bestow upon you the honor of using the title of "Supreme Lord" to acknowledge me!"

The answer to that by Sui Xiong and the Master of Order was yet another combined attack. Like before, their attack simply passed through the God of Light's body with no effect whatsoever.

The God of Light did not immediately retaliate with another attack but simply stood motionless and glanced at Sui Xiong and the Master of Order disdainfully. He did not move and allowed the duo to try several methods to harm him. However, like before, all their efforts were negligible and simply passed through the God of Light's body without any effect.

After a while, a bored and impatient expression appeared on the God of Light's face. He sighed and said, "At first, I thought that in the face of danger and death, the both of you would think out of the box and understand what I meant by entering the true great Divine Power Realm. I guess I just overestimated both your abilities to think.

"Forget it, I no longer wish to beat around the bush. It's time for me to kill the both of you. If even that doesn't enlighten the both of you, you simply do not deserve to continue living."

Just at this very moment, the Master of Order suddenly smiled.

"I understand now!"

The God of Light and Sui Xiong both froze as they did not know what the Master of Order meant by saying that. What exactly did he understand?

Could it be that he was enlightened on what the true great Divine Power Realm entailed? After all, from his previous attacks, it seemed like he was still unaware. The Master of Order did not explain further and instead grabbed hold of Sui Xiong, ordering him to remove all the realms using divine thought.

Before Sui Xiong could even react to that statement, the Master of Order had already dragged him across countless worlds to the Main Plane, to his God Kingdom's Sanctuary.

Before the God of Light could arrive, he raised his palm and hit Sui Xiong's body hard, causing Sui Xiong to fly like an arrow and crash straight into his own God Kingdom. This hit caused not only Sui Xiong but also the entire God Kingdom to fly into the Main Plane.

What exactly was the Master of Order thinking!?

Sui Xiong had no time to even react, and he could only complain to himself in his mind before he lost consciousness. In the last instant of being conscious, he used divine thought to give his final order to all his underlings.

Vacate Void Mask City! Await my return!
