Chapter 1742 Countermeasure
The Primordial Heavenly Lord sensed the divine power within his body declining, his expression extremely grim. He and the Moral Heavenly Lord transformed into two streams of light, rapidly descending toward the ruins of the Heavenly Court.
“How is it?”
The Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, holding the essence of the Heavenly Court, shook his head and said:
“The damage to the essence isn’t severe. With some time, it can be repaired… but I’m afraid we can’t contain those things below anymore.”
The Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord presided over the Heavenly Court precisely to seal the gap in the lunar seal. Now with the Heavenly Court’s essence damaged and its physical form shattered, it was impossible to continue suppressing the rebellious Cthulhu deities below.
One after another, Cthulhu deities from the gap frantically crashed against the ruins of the Heavenly Court. Cracks spread in every corner, and fragments of the Heavenly Court continuously scattered in all directions.
“How are your injuries?” asked the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
“Not bad, lighter than yours.” The Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord manipulated the Primordial Cave to continuously suppress the rebellious Cthulhu deities beneath the Heavenly Court, but this could only barely delay their breakout. After all, his divine power was limited, while the dozen or so Cthulhu deities below would not tire, not to mention he was now injured.
“This won’t be enough to contain them… Damn it, isn’t there any other way?!”
The Moral Heavenly Lord clenched his fists tightly.
The Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, while forcibly resisting the siege of the Cthulhu deities, cast his gaze through the broken Heavenly Court below. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but ultimately fell silent.
He turned to look at the distant battlefield, his expression filled with complexity…
…
“Destiny.”
Lin Qiye and Jialan flashed to Destiny Monk’s side, their expressions extremely solemn. “You calculated that the [Key to the Gate] would intervene, didn’t you?”
Destiny Monk pressed his palms together and calmly spoke: “Every move we made before was correct, which is why we posed enough of a threat to them… [Chaos] was sealed, the [Black Goat] fell into slumber, and now even the lunar seal was about to be reinforced. Naturally, the [Key to the Gate] couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
If it were so simple to defeat the Three Pillar Gods, our chances of victory wouldn’t have been so slim from the beginning.
We’ve made our opening moves… now, it’s their turn to place a piece.”
“Must we let them make their move? This isn’t actually a turn-based game… Isn’t there a way to directly stop them?” Jialan, seeing the situation reverse, felt extremely anxious.
“The [Key to the Gate] exists at the highest level of space-time. We can’t even touch them, so how could we stop them?”
At these words, Jialan was left speechless.
“However, for the [Key to the Gate] to reach across space-time requires paying an enormous price… which means they can only make this move once.” Destiny Monk turned to look at the distant Heavenly Court. “As long as we can overcome this crisis, they will have no more tricks to play.”
“Just one move destroyed the Heavenly Court and reversed all the advantages we worked so hard to create…” Lin Qiye frowned deeply. “So, since you predicted the [Key to the Gate] would intervene, you must have prepared a countermeasure, right?”
After a moment of silence, Destiny Monk nodded.
“Yes.”
“What countermeasure??” Joy appeared in Jialan’s eyes.
Destiny Monk slowly raised his hand, pointing at Jialan before him.
“You.”
…
Mount Olympus.
In the forbidden palace, Si Xiaonan looked up at the sky above.
Burning specks of light flickered in the firmament, but they were difficult to see clearly in the bright daylight. Vaguely, a hazy moon hung at the edge of the sky, seemingly missing a corner.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
“You’ve noticed it too…” An elderly voice came from within the hall. The withered and frail Zeus sat upon his throne, his cloudy eyes also fixed on the sky.
“Great God-King, what exactly is happening in the sky?”
Although Si Xiaonan already knew the answer in her heart, she pretended ignorance and asked.
“A divine war to determine the ownership of this planet.”
“Is it between the Daxia gods and the Cthulhu gods?” Si Xiaonan asked with confusion. “Great God-King, why don’t we intervene? What if this planet could be ours?”
Zeus shook his head. “We have no chance of winning… Neither do the Daxia gods. Those deities from beyond the world are too powerful. No divine kingdom is their match, even if we allied with Daxia.
We previously showed goodwill to the Cthulhu Mythos. If they ultimately triumph, we might still have a glimmer of hope. But if we turn against them now, we would certainly perish.
Moreover… my body is no longer capable of battle.”
Si Xiaonan nodded thoughtfully.
“Great God-King, I shall take my leave now.” She bowed respectfully.
Zeus, completely focused on the sky, casually waved his hand. Si Xiaonan walked straight out of the forbidden palace and headed down the mountain.
When she was far enough from the palace, Si Xiaonan stopped and took out a white chess piece from her bosom.
Now, the surface of this chess piece was emitting a faint glow.
Si Xiaonan held the chess piece in her palm, as if seriously listening to something. After a moment, she was slightly startled.
“So that’s it…” Si Xiaonan looked at the chess piece, her expression somewhat complex.
She stood still like a statue for who knows how long, then sighed helplessly.
“Indeed, this day was bound to come.”
She put the chess piece back in her bosom, looked back at Mount Olympus behind her, and narrowed her eyes slightly. “However, the matters here need to be concluded first.”
Si Xiaonan took out a strangely crafted feathered arrow from her sleeve and threw it forcefully toward the sky. With a piercing screech that echoed throughout Olympus, the arrow exploded in mid-air, crimson light enveloping the mountain range!
The moment they saw this crimson light, the various major gods situated among the Olympian mountains simultaneously flashed with brilliant light in their eyes!
“It’s Bia’s signal?!”
“Hahahahaha!! That old fool is finally dead! The God-King’s position must be mine!”
“That old fool probably never imagined that his most trusted subordinate was actually a spy we planted!”
“We had such a hard time bribing this guy, and he’s finally proven useful.”
“Now whoever can seize the God-King’s token, it’s every god for themselves!!”
“…”
Several major god-level auras explosively erupted. Consecutive streaks of light howled toward the central forbidden palace of Olympus. Murderous intent immediately swept across the entire divine kingdom!
As divine light burst forth, Zeus’s palace was directly shattered. Those figures rushed in.
The next moment, a furious supreme divine might soared to the heavens. The rolling thunderclouds turned pitch black. Amid sounds of shock and terror, the major gods felt their hearts sink, realizing they had been tricked by Bia. But having come this far, they had no choice but to fight to the death!
The divine power of numerous major gods frantically besieged that seemingly frail supreme divine might. An unprecedented chaotic battle erupted from within Olympus.
Meanwhile, Si Xiaonan, who had reverted to her original form as the God of Trickery, had the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
She vanished like a specter into nothingness.
