Chapter 1861
by 林方方Chapter 1861 Nyx vs Vishnu
Looking at this figure, Vishnu’s expression immediately turned ugly.
“Nyx? You’re actually not dead?”
Vishnu instinctively looked back at No. 22, who immediately shook his head, indicating that he also didn’t know Nyx was here.
“I’m not dead. Are you disappointed?” Nyx spoke calmly, “Because this way, you are no longer the so-called only supreme… Your newly rebuilt confidence is shaken by my existence.”
A flash of ruthlessness appeared in Vishnu’s eyes. The golden giant palm pressing on Athena’s head suddenly lifted, clenched into a fist, and smashed toward Nyx like a meteor!
At this point, with both of their divine realms already destroyed, sitting down for peaceful negotiations was certainly impossible. However, if he could kill Nyx here, he would remain the only supreme being in the world!
The golden giant fist tore through the night sky, smashing toward Nyx like a meteor. She unhurriedly raised the Kusanagi Sword in her hand, and several strands of starlight intertwined into a blade, instantly slicing across the edge of the giant fist!
A gap was torn in the golden divine light, and fresh blood sprayed out. The smiling-faced Vishnu painfully withdrew his arm, while the crying-faced Vishnu beside him formed a seal with one hand and pressed down in mid-air.
The surrounding void instantly collapsed, and a ferocious face appeared next to Nyx, swallowing her whole!
No. 22’s eyes lit up, and just as he was about to say something, that face suddenly froze in mid-air, then silently melted like ice into the darkness below, dissolving into the night…
The figure draped in star-woven gauze walked out unharmed, her movement continuing without the slightest pause, as if she were merely taking a casual stroll in her own backyard garden.
Seeing this, Vishnu’s brows furrowed, his expression extremely grave.
It seemed that the Olympian legend was true… Zeus’s combat power ranked at the bottom among the three supreme Greek gods, and this typically low-profile matron possessed power far more terrifying than the outside world knew!
“What’s wrong? Is this your limit?” Nyx slowly raised her palm, and under the flowing starlight, a star chart appeared before her.
“Then… it’s my turn.”
In the void, twelve black spheres condensed, almost filling the sky above Vishnu. The moment these spheres appeared, even space itself cracked and moaned.
If Lin Qiye were here, he would immediately recognize this as the [Dark Night Falling] that the younger Nyx had used when fighting him before. The difference was that each black sphere now was three times larger than before!
Seeing this, Vishnu’s face visibly darkened. Just then, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
“…Oh?”
Vishnu frowned, light flickering in his eyes, pondering something unknown.
The moment these spheres appeared, a sense of mortal danger surged through No. 22. Without hesitation, he turned and rushed away from Vishnu, fearing being caught in this attack.
At this moment, Vishnu couldn’t care about No. 22 either. Not daring to be arrogant anymore, his two bodies merged again. With a roar, dazzling divine light howled toward Nyx under the dark night!
A deafening boom echoed from beneath the night sky. No. 22 and the chief god beside him desperately fled from the shockwave of the supreme gods’ battle, but even so, the surging night force still made them cough up several mouthfuls of blood as they tumbled to the ground.
The chief god staggered to his feet and was about to run toward the exit when a hand firmly pressed down on his shoulder.
He looked back to see No. 22 wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, light flickering in his eyes.
“Holy Master! Aren’t we running?” the chief god couldn’t help asking.
“Run what? Vishnu has engaged Nyx. As long as we don’t get close to their battlefield, we’ll be fine.”
“Then… what do you want to do?”
No. 22 looked back and saw that among the scattered tentacle fragments on the ground, a few tentacles were still slowly writhing. He firmly said, “Follow me!”
Regardless of whether the chief god was willing or not, No. 22 grabbed his shoulder and dragged him toward the tentacles. They stepped over the bloody remains until they finally stopped in front of the largest tentacle.
This tentacle was in a relatively secluded position, which was why it had avoided the trajectory of Lin Qiye’s sword. Starlight flowed on the surface of the tentacle, emitting a mysterious aura.
“Holy Master, are you sure this thing can trade with you?” The chief god looked at the tentacle before him, finding it rather eerie.
“Of course it can. Don’t you hear the voice?”
“Voice?”
“It’s communicating with me using my past voice…” No. 22 stared intently at the starlight tentacle, his eyes full of fervor. “It says Lin Qiye made an exchange with it to obtain the Dark Law. As long as he can endure the rejection between laws, he can become an unprecedentedly powerful chief god!”
The chief god looked at the tentacle in confusion. “Past voice? I, I don’t hear anything…”
No. 22 had no intention of explaining to him. He clenched his fists and said solemnly:
“Do you know what the only truth I’ve realized in these years is?”
“What?”
“In this world, everything is illusory. Only power is the true way!” No. 22 seemed to recall something, his breathing becoming heavy. “Without power, you’re forever just an object for others to play with, a tool for their pleasure… like a weak kitten. No matter how much it bares its teeth and claws to intimidate humans, it only makes them more excited.
To change this, you must grow the sharpest claws and teeth to protect yourself. If you still can’t defeat humans, you must hide your weapons and continue to beg them with a wagging tail, waiting until they fall asleep to slit their throats…
Only after eating all their flesh and blood, and wearing their skin as clothing, can you truly be considered a proper human!”
The chief god didn’t seem to understand No. 22’s meaning and continued to ask, “So?”
“So, as long as I can become stronger, I’m willing to pay any price.” A ruthless glint flashed in No. 22’s eyes as he forcefully pushed the chief god toward the starlight tentacle!
The chief god never expected No. 22 to push him. A look of shock appeared on his face, but before he could struggle, the starlight tentacle had already wrapped around him.
Perhaps because all the other tentacles had been killed, after binding a chief god, the remaining tentacles surged forward as if mad, completely engulfing his form, greedily absorbing all his divine power, laws, and even life force.
No. 22 stared at the writhing starlight tentacles before him and spoke word by word,
“Consider him a welcoming gift from me to the great Gate of Truth…”
“I don’t care what Lin Qiye paid. I want power stronger than his! Power that will let me stand tall in this world forever!”
“As long as you can give me this power, whatever you want… take it.”
