Odyssey of the Blind God

Not many Divine Gods had actually heard about Nial before.

The Undying, Dilan Cier, was a little different because he actually fought against the weakest Ancients and Primordials when he was not even an actual God yet. Dilan had been strong enough to fight Gods with his overwhelming combat power and the Origin Ability called 'Undying'.

He was not someone, who died that easily, not actually at least. His body was often torn apart or even eradicated to the finest atoms. However, even then, Dilan always survived. Undying was an Origin ability that was simply too powerful for ordinary beings to possess, yet, Dilan was in possession of this Origin ability, and he could make use of it properly!

After fighting against the weakest Ancients and Primordials, the Undying ascended Godhood with one of the strongest Divinities that had ever been recorded in the history of the Universe. His strength increased rapidly and it was a known fact that the Undying had worked tirelessly to build a group of people to guard the Veils.

Dilan had also created a large communication system with which they could message each other immediately if something was to go wrong.

Putting all of this together, Dilan was a well-known person in the Universe. Meanwhile, Nial hadn't even been in the known Universe for half of his life.

Other than encountering a bunch of Gods while he absorbed the excessive superior Chaos from Veils, Nial never really went out to meet other Gods.

Nonetheless, some Gods knew him very well. Precisely, the Gods related to the Veil Guardians knew him, his powers, and the fact that he was able to close smaller Veils and shrink the higher-developed Veils as well.

That was very helpful, and many Gods were thankful for his doing, even if the darkness oozing out of Nial, and the humongous serpent following him, had been quite frightening.

The Goddess of the Divine Eye shared her wisdom about Nial with the other Divine Gods. She explained everything in great detail and pointed out the simplest solution.

"If you don't want to bother asking this youthful God about the plan he has in mind with the four Gigaloran Galaxies and the million-plus Devils that reappeared all of a sudden, we should kill him now before it's too late!" The Goddess of the Divine Eye said with a glint in her golden eyes.

Even though the Goddess was trying to make it sound as if the others had a chance to come up with a different plan, fact was that the Devils and habitants of the Gigaloran Galaxies were extremely dangerous.

The moment Damian's successor decided to attack the Universe and reclaim the territory of his ancestor, the Universe would turn into pandemonium. The Devils and residents of the Gigaloran Galaxies were much stronger than before. None of the Devils seemed to have died over the course of eons. As for what happened in the Gigaloran Galaxies, nobody could really tell for sure.

The Late God of Darkness must have brought the Gigaloran Galaxies to a place where the residents could prosper, a place where the Gigaloran Galaxies could grow rapidly. That was the only logical reason the Divine Gods could come up with after they read the reports of the eerily high mana density in the four Gigaloran Galaxies.

Thus, while the combat forces of the Darkness God grew rapidly during the eons that had passed since the Great War, the exact opposite was the case for the rest of the Universe.

In fact, some races had grown stronger, but that was exactly why other races had encountered severe setbacks.

The races in the known Universe were not all on good terms. In fact, most races were either in a neutral or hostile relationship with one another.

With that knowledge, it was only obvious that many wars between races had occurred over the eons, obliterating entire races, and even more so Gods. Even Ancient Gods, Ancients, and Primordials died over the course of eons.

The moment two Ancient Gods fought, their fight would either end with one of them giving up, or death. Nobody would usually intervene in the fight of other Ancient Gods. After all, this could attract the wrath of the fighting parties.

"So, you're saying that we should kill him while he is still weak? As long as we kill the root of all problems, the rest will solve itself…but is it really okay to kill someone with the power to close the Veils?" One of the Divine Gods asked.

His question was more than justified. There were two parts of the Universe that had been hit hard by huge Veils. Veilures stronger than the positioned Veil Guardians had emerged, killing them before they devoured the energy of the Universe. They drained the energy of the Universe and strengthened the Veil further, giving it enough power to expand in size.

Nobody could actually do something against this. The Universe's energy had been drained, weakening the region of space tremendously while allowing stronger, and more Veilures to emerge in the next wave.

Until this date, only one person was able to shrink, or even close the Veils. This included the huge Veils that had already devoured some energy of the Universe.

Nial could drain it and shrink the Veil back to its former size. In fact, he shrunk it to a smaller size than it had been before.

Nial had not been a God when he did all of this.

Didn't that mean he could close all Veils as long as he grew in strength?

"In that case, what do you want to do? Do you want to risk a second Great War in hope that this youthful God will continue to focus on closing the Veils, or do you want to remove the threat and make sure that we will deploy more people to the Veils to keep them guarded until the end of time?" The Goddess of the Divine Eye asked somewhat calmly.

However, there was also something else that could be sensed in her voice.

It was…a threat.
