Chapter 162: Directly Undermining His Foundation
Outside the divine realm.
Countless black-purple flames had already gathered before the God of War. The flames formed into a spear, which he lifted up. The instant the Goddess of Magic appeared, with a sharp "rip," that flaming spear flew toward her.
What was even more terrifying was that as it flew toward the Goddess of Magic, the spear seemed to be absorbing some kind of energy and kept growing. In just a few seconds, the spear had already swollen to the size of the entire Magic divine realm, carrying infinite might and accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. Absolutely horrifying!
Even from inside the Magic divine realm, you could see it clearly. No, most of the divine realm, and even the mortal world, could see it clearly.
The Goddess of Magic raised an eyebrow but wasn't too worried. She just gently lifted her hand, and massive amounts of magic power rapidly gathered around her. At the same time, faith power from within the divine realm also surged in this direction. The two merged together, becoming almost solid.
BOOM—
With a massive explosion, the two forces collided. The enormous shockwave blew away everything except the Goddess of Magic's divine realm, scattering it all outward.
Such a huge change instantly drew the attention of most gods.
That purple-black flame spear, which seemed like just a probe, began disappearing at a visible rate. Only then did the gods realize that the God of War's appearance had undergone earth-shattering changes.
What had once been just a burly armored giant now had massive black horns growing from his head. His entire body was pitch black, muscles bulging, covered in various glowing runes. His body kept expanding too—it seemed like with every bit of chaos in the mortal realm, his size grew a little more.
"Magic, hand over the authority of technology to me, and I'll leave. Otherwise, today I'll also take back the authority of magic." The God of War's voice was massive, echoing through half the void. At the same time, an immeasurable amount of war flames began gathering.
RIP—
RIP—
As the war flames gathered, quite a few spatial rifts appeared around them, then quickly healed before being torn open again... What was originally the rarest occurrence in this world—gray spatial rifts that could devour everything around them—had become commonplace, as if "cooperating" with the war flames somehow!
Without even waiting for the Goddess of Magic to answer, the instant his voice fell, he suddenly vanished. When he appeared again, he was already not far from the Goddess of Magic, and that fierce attack instantly struck out.
Still as a mountain, moving like lightning—at this moment, it was displayed to perfection!
Many gods who saw this scene felt chills in their hearts. The Goddess of Magic could handle such attacks calmly, but what about themselves? They'd probably die instantly, body and soul destroyed.
But the Goddess of Magic wasn't afraid at all. Just as the attack was about to land on her, she disappeared from her spot. Then, a brilliant golden light burst out all around, surging from all directions toward the core area.
The power the God of War had unleashed seemed pretty weak under this golden glow. Eventually, the other gods realized that everywhere they looked, there was only gold left. No other colors remained.
The overwhelming gold instantly submerged the God of War, directly cutting off the path of those war flames. That terrifying temperature that could reach tens of millions of degrees seemed insignificant at this moment. But all of this seemed to play right into the God of War's hands.
That golden light could block ranged attacks, but its effect on the God of War's body was way too small. The next moment, he rushed toward the Goddess of Magic with his weapon.
CLANG—
The sound of the shield and spear clashing rang out like waves, spreading through the void.
Who knows how many remains of former divine realms turned to dust at this moment, completely disappearing...
The mortal realm.
Two figures suddenly appeared in the sky above Roster territory—one handsome, one beautiful.
"What a convenient ability!" The beautiful figure looked at everything around them. "I haven't been to the mortal realm in tens of thousands of years."
"Now's not the time for sentimentality." Ren smiled. "If you get the chance later, you can come down anytime. Right now, let me see what you can do."
The biggest difference between Roster territory and everywhere else was that everyone here was either a believer of the God of Technology or had no faith at all, so they were affected the least. But after entering festival day, some people were still influenced by the weird wave from the sacrifices, awakening the dark side of their hearts. All kinds of violence and gore kept spreading, and many factories had already fallen into chaos.
From this, you could tell what kind of mess the mortal realm had become.
The chaos in other places would only be countless times worse than here, especially in some of the more remote fortress areas.
The Goddess of Music smiled. "That's naturally no problem, but I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Of course. As long as we meet expectations, I can guarantee that within one day, tens of millions—maybe even hundreds of millions—of people will hear your voice. Within a month, at least a million people will hear your voice regularly, mostly supernatural beings. Your believers can also be like the Goddess of Writing's believers... I'm even confident that in the future, the number of people willing to listen to music will far exceed the Goddess of Writing!"
The Goddess of Music didn't care much about how many people would hear her in one day—he was just using her, after all. But a million supernatural beings listening regularly? That was a different story. Especially being able to make her believers like those of the Goddess of Writing... Just thinking about it made her tremble with excitement.
Especially when she thought about how Ren had said that if she wanted, he could make everyone pray to her once before listening to music...
Excited heart, trembling hands. When she lifted her finger, Ren could clearly see it shaking. Then, a gentle and mysterious melody began permeating the air. This melody seemed to come from ancient times, yet also like whispers crossing through time and space, gently seeping into every corner of Roster territory. It wasn't like any piece from the mortal realm—neither passionate nor sorrowful, but a sound of tranquility that could touch the deepest parts of the human heart.
As the notes jumped and intertwined, those people disturbed by the weird wave, their hearts filled with thoughts of violence and gore, gradually lost their savage expressions. Their eyes began to soften, their furrowed brows slowly relaxed, as if some invisible force was smoothing over the wounds and anger in their hearts.
The workers stopped fighting, and the hostility between them evaporated like morning mist under the early sun. They looked at each other, eyes flashing with surprise and confusion. Even at this moment, they didn't understand why they'd suddenly acted that way.
On the streets, the crowds that had been fleeing in fear and chaos also slowly stopped. They huddled together, seeming to find a long-lost sense of security in this melody. Many people's faces bloomed with innocent smiles again, as if all the world's troubles had been shut out by this beautiful music.
Watching all this, Ren also breathed a sigh of relief. What needed to be verified next was whether the "divinity" in the Goddess of Music's voice could spread throughout the world through the "music" function.
