Chapter 64: The Time of the End is Near! 5/8
The "oracle" conveyed by living saint Sulya was simple and short—something big was coming!
But what this "big" thing was and when it would arrive remained unknown.
"I did my best."
Sulya’s words sounded tired.
"The great Giant God was hard to understand, and this command itself held very powerful divine force and strange symbols."
"Each word was like a maze with no end, but in some cases, it pointed to one way out."
"The language the god used was not even like the ‘primordial tongue’ from the world’s start; that great speech was both clear and vague, both picture-like and full of endless ideas."
"It was a set of simple but scary masterpieces with endless information entropy…"
"Ah…"
Sulya remembered how she risked her life by touching the Giant God’s "Soul Treasury" without permission; if not for the Giant God’s quick "help," her mind might have blown up.
Even after the Giant God’s power "blessed" her again, making the living saint’s spirit tougher, today, when she looked into the Giant God’s will, she almost broke down.
Her headache took a while to ease.
Luckily, this try was worth it.
"Praise the Giant God!"
"At least, the Giant God never did or said anything without reason; He must have noticed…"
While Sulya was slowly figuring out the meaning of the Giant God’s "oracle" in the Soul Network…
Someone just said the answer out loud.
"It is the time of the end."
The first word came from an old voice.
But soon, that voice turned younger, becoming a young woman’s voice.
It was the "Old Prophet."
Now, she took off her disguise, showing her real self.
As the heart of the whole Soul Network, Sulya quickly saw the true "nature" in her soul.
"You are a… ‘deposed deity’?"
"No, I should respect you more, ‘deposed noble’ miss?"
"Deposed deity" or "deposed noble" both meant the same thing—gods with no home after the time of the end.
The "bubble world" floating in the void and the "primal swamp" could blow up under demon attacks, leaving nothing; some would become food for the Subspace.
The Order deity who once had different powers in the "bubble world," when they joined chaos, would be "made into a demon" based on their deeds, becoming a new Chaos Demon God.
But they usually didn’t do well; chaos deity always found ways out of deals, tricking the traitors who sided with them; most gods were lucky to become Seatless Ones.
Many gods who fought hard died in the big battle before the end, ending everything.
Only a few gods lived by luck.
Their powers had nearly vanished, and their strength and divine bodies had weakened to the extreme; often, a deity who lost their world possessed far less power than before and could only stay in the chaotic ‘Primal Swamp’!
The gap was huge.
Many deities went mad; their obsessions turned into hatred and insanity, often attacking other Bubble Worlds for no clear reason.
Some who stayed sane searched everywhere for ways to get revenge on the chaos deities.
This "Deposed Noble," disguised as a prophet, must be one of the latter—an avenger hunting for a path to fight chaos!
Her world had been ravaged and destroyed by the chaos gods, so she knew exactly what the so-called "big" thing would be.
"That’s right, I am the ‘Deposed Noble.’"
"I once had a name, but as a failure, my power was hardly better than mortals’, and my divine body was weak; I no longer deserved that name."
"Now, I’m just the prophet Arachne."
A buzzing hum of talk rose in the Soul Network but quickly died down.
The "Deposed Noble" was either a hopeless madwoman or someone with deep hatred for chaos, living only to drag down a few Chaos Demon Gods before her end.
Though their power fell far short of the Order Gods’, they were truly the most loyal warriors against chaos.
If not for their hopeless stupidity, they’d be the most trustworthy fighters.
The "Deposed Noble’s" experience in chaos battles could offer much guidance for later generations.
So, everyone linked to the Soul Network listened closely to what this "Deposed Noble" said next, as she shared her tragic take on the Giant God’s "oracle."
"Time of the End."
"It’s chaos’s full assault on this world."
"It’s also the end of this world."
"Look!"
"When the Giant God broke through the City of Dimensions, he wrecked the original entrance, flinging bits of ‘Primal Mud’ everywhere, snuffing out his own ocean floor ecosystem, letting that messy ‘Primal Mud’ rise to the sea’s surface!"
"This clearly warns us that huge chaos and total doom are coming; its reach will be everywhere—from the ocean floor to the surface, from the land to the sky!"
"And all we can do is…"
Sulya finished the sentence.
"Battle!"
"Miss Arachne’s reading was spot-on."
"Just now, our Giant God sent a simple mental order, telling us to send out scouts!"
"Clearly, the final fight was upon us!"
"Followers of the Holy Light from the Sun…"
"No! This isn’t just about us ‘followers of the Holy Light from the Sun’!"
"All humans who refuse to be destroyed, rise up and act!"
But Sulya didn’t know that the Giant God’s move would soon be known to the Chaos Demon God Wabla!
Everything was moving way faster than expected!
“Oh my! Oh my! What a huge scene! Amazing! Amazing!”
“The mud was gushing! The smell of the Outer World was everywhere! The scent of chaos!”
“So interesting! So annoying! So annoying!”
The vampire squids that had come to “notify” Trilobite swayed as they watched the “underwater mushroom cloud” made of “Primal Mud” erupting from the ocean floor’s “mountain,” then slowly swam away.
They swam to the seafloor nearby and burrowed into a deep cave.
There, it served as the passage for these blood octopus Outer Gods to enter and exit this world.
“Go! Go!”
“Squeeze in! Squeeze in!”
“Push! Push!”
Soon, the hot underground passage changed from a tunnel into something magical. Chaotic energy twisted and swirled together, glowing with magic colors. The “aurora,” formed by the crash of chaotic energy and magical particles, shone with colorful lights on the passage walls!
The blood octopus Outer Gods moved forward, paused, and after some time finally…
“Normal…”
“Splash…”
They tumbled into a pool of “muddy water.”
This was a chaotic world where “Primal Mud” mixed with “etheric liquid.”
The etheric liquid floated above while the Primal Mud settled below.
The higher they went, the less Primal Mud there was, and the more etheric liquid; the lower they went, the more Primal Mud there was, and the less etheric liquid.
At the very bottom, there was even a sharp solid space made entirely of Primal Mud!
Countless thick “root systems” spread through the dense Primal Mud, forming passages that “pierced” the Crystal Walls made of hardened “Primal Mud” at the outer edge of the Bubble World, entering the Bubble World.
These “root systems” were extensions of Subspace.
Demons and evil gods used these various-sized passages to enter the Bubble World from Subspace.
But none of this concerned the blood octopus Outer Gods.
They trudged through the murky muddy water, talking about what to say when they met “Party A.”
“So, say this, say that! Tell the truth!”
“But we can’t tell everything! We mustn’t tell everything!”
“Right! Right! We can’t mention the Great Ferocious Fish! We can’t say that!”
“Like this, like this! Just talk about the mud explosion! Don’t mention the Great Ferocious Fish! Okay? Okay?”
“Okay! Okay!”
“In that case, we’d get 100 shards of divine rank! We’d have them!”
The blood octopus Outer Gods perfectly completed this “reconnaissance mission.”
