Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial had to attempt speaking to the group of Gods that attacked him all of a sudden.

After facing several incoming attacks, he figured that calmly speaking wouldn't help him to come out victorious. On the contrary, it might actually be dangerous and lead to his death. The Ancient and Divine Gods didn't seem to desire a peaceful outcome, after all!

They wanted to kill him, by all means.

Nial might have been able to distract the Ancient Gods for a moment and devour some of their attacks, but that was not enough to win against them.

More Devils emerged from the darkness around Nial. Some used the darkness that shrouded his body, as well. Either way, the Devils were the strongest, and their most important task was to protect Nial.

The seven Ancient Gods and two Divine Gods were the most threatening for someone like Nial. Their power was more than enough to end his life in no time.

Hundreds of hands and huge claws, coated in darkness, shot out of the dark, reaching out for the Ancient and Divine Gods who backed off in an instant. Their eyes widened and goosebumps covered their bodies were covered in a cold sweat as they sensed the terrific power that surged through the Devils.

The Devils were extremely fast, and their ruby eyes seemed to take in the information about the surrounding area easily. It required mere moments until the Devils finished assessing the situation ahead.

Their ruby eyes began to glow brightly and devious grimaces formed on their faces as more darkness began to shroud them.

It was only a matter of time before the entire main office belonging to the Diving God of Truth was completely covered in darkness. Nial made use of this darkness to use the Grasp of Eclipse technique.

He appeared next to the Oracle, where he reached out for her hand to make clear that he had arrived next to her. Nial didn't want to utter any noises right now. His full attention was attracted by the Gods and Devils, who were fighting with all their might.

"Let's leave!" The Oracle whispered in a hurry, hoping that Nial would create a portal to lead them outside the Divine God of Truth's Domain.

However, Nial shook his head. He smiled lightly in the Oracle's direction before motioning his head in the direction of the fight that would continue, whether they stayed or ran away.

"Just watch for now. We have to clarify that I was not here to kill the Divine God of Truth, but that I wanted him to vouch for me," He said calmly

The Oracle squinted her eyes. She stared at Nial, trying to assess him and figure out what he was thinking, only to end up shaking her head.

"I really don't get what you're thinking about. If we don't leave, we might die!"

It was only obvious for the Oracle to be worried. They were currently accused of having murdered the Divine God of Truth, his disciples, and his guests.

There was hardly anything that could be worse!

But Nial was currently smiling as he visualized the battle that unfolded in front of him.

The main office of the Divine God of Truth was very big. Despite being an office, it was also used as the Divine God of Truth's training space. Hundreds of complex runic constellations had spread through the entire office, gathering mana in the room's center.

Thus, it was no wonder that the hall was over 20 meters in height, and close if not above 200 meters in width and breadth.

The main office was truly ginormous, yet it felt almost as if there was not enough space for the combatants to go all out. After all, there were close to 150 Devils, with the weakest being as strong as an ordinary Ancient God, fighting two Divine Gods and seven Ancient Gods with great combat prowess.

"There is no need to worry. The Devils I've released are more than enough to deal with them. If you're worrying about our survival, you might as well start worrying about how to explain the current situation.

They will have to listen once they're beaten black and blue, whether they like it or not!"

The Ancient Gods and Divine Gods were slowly overwhelmed. Their individual strength was not even higher than their opponents' combat power, yet, each of the Ancient Gods and Ancient Gods had to fight against more than 15 Devils at the same time.

It was only obvious that the Devils were at a devastating advantage.

However, instead of mercilessly slaughtering the Ancient Gods and Divine Gods, the Devils were giving their all to inflict superficial injuries and strive toward tiring out the Gods. Some Devils inflicted worse injuries than the other, but none of them was trying to rip their bodies apart, let alone pierce their razor-sharp claws deep into the flesh of the Gods.

Even if the Gods were under tremendous pressure right now, unable to think properly due to the attention they had to pay to not fall prey to the Devils, they could tell that something was off.

"They want to get us alive!"

"Are they planning to imprison us?!"

"Maybe he wants to turn us into his mindless Devils!!"

Despite being in the midst of a battle, and facing tremendous pressure, the Gods were coming up with theories about Nial's scheming.

One theory was worse than the other, and listening made Nial wonder what kind of monster he ought to be in the opinion of these Gods.

He shook his head in denial and kept listening to them.

"My control of the surrounding space is growing weaker! I cannot bring us out of here!" The Spectran shouted out all of a sudden.

"The mana inside me is not listening to me anymore! What is going on??"

"There is something wrong with my mana as well!"

"Mine is going crazy too!"

Listening to the comments of the Gods intently, Nial nodded his head.

His expression was one of utter satisfaction as he held a hand-sized dize tightly in his hand.

'Looks like this worked out pretty decently'
