Chapter 432: Power Possession: Anomalous Star!

After being corroded by the Outer God, Black Abyss Deep Sea, the Steel Throne grew even stronger. However, it now faced rejection from the laws of the World, making it impossible for it to easily descend.

Ordinary deities, if they could endure the loss of power, might force their way into the mortal world. But the Steel Throne could not achieve even this much.

Almost all the wills of the World automatically viewed the “Outer God” as the highest level of threat, defending against it.

Thus, the Steel Throne attempted a different approach to intervene with Noah. It tried to empower the Blank Fire that had separated from its own power, using it as a vessel for its will.

But the Blank Fire’s plan was thwarted by the Babel Tower and the Imperial Guards, leaving only a fraction of what had been painstakingly gathered over time.

Now, the Steel Throne could only resort to its final method if it wished to intervene in Noah’s world.

He tore apart a part of himself. This part gave birth to a new “deity”—an incarnation that the Steel Throne placed directly into the mortal world.

For the Steel Throne, this action caused considerable harm. There was a clear difference between the arrival of the “incarnation” and the main entity. The incarnation was far weaker than the original form, but it had the advantage of being considered a completely new and different being by the World’s laws. Without the label of an Outer God, it could easily bypass the “firewall.”

In essence, this incarnation had ceased to be the Steel Throne and had become an independent entity with its own soul. Though torn from the Steel Throne, it remained its own being.

From the moment of its birth, the incarnation had been bound by a contract: it must liberate the Black Abyss Deep Sea on behalf of the Steel Throne to attain freedom.

A white figure stood tall in the sky, looking down upon the Earth. A calm male voice resonated deeply within the souls of everyone.

“I am the Steel Throne.”

“I am not the Steel Throne either.”

“Today is the day of my birth, and it is also the day of your demise.”

“Bring forth your destructive wrath, restless and angry spirits, for I shall grant you rest here.”

Everyone in Tatsumi City. Every person in the Air Alliance. They all heard it.

At this moment, Bai Yan took a deep breath. He could fully feel the immense pressure of facing a god.

“God…” Bai Yan thought. It, or rather, He, was merely a fragment of the Steel Throne’s soul, yet He was still a deity.

But even as a god, He was the weakest deity in the World.

Despite this, Bai Yan could not deny the overwhelming pressure.

“This is the price for opposing a god,” he thought.

Once, even when Bai Yan had seen gods, he had never directly opposed them. But now, he was experiencing the crushing weight of divine presence firsthand. It was as if invisible thorns were pressing down on him.

Every muscle in his body trembled in response, a natural instinct. And the others suffered even more. All the supernaturals below Apocalypse level in Tatsumi City, including Mu Ling, knelt down under the godly pressure.

The crowd lowered their heads, but Mu Ling, with great effort, managed to lift hers, refusing to fully bow.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, nearly biting her own tongue.

Curse it! she thought. I couldn’t even stand up… What right do I have to become that person’s sharp blade?

Even if Scarlet Moon, Maryse, and the others could still stand, they felt the intense pressure bearing down on them. Any action seemed beyond reach.

“Is this what a god feels like?” Scarlet Moon growled, her anger flaring as she glared at the divine figure in the sky.

Before the battle had even begun, they were already unable to move.

For mortals, extraordinary beings, and gods, any transformation between these three states was incredibly dramatic. Each significant change created a world of difference.

The difference between an Apocalyptic extraordinary being and an ordinary divine being was far greater than the gap between a divine being and an Outer God.

Inside the White Tower, Mr. Xia remained calm.

“This power is beyond anything I could have imagined. The impact I feel in my heart is like when I first learned about the existence of extraordinary powers.”

Unable to compete.

In an instant, Bai Yan made a decision. All the tactics he had prepared now seemed almost powerless.

Wow, the god was truly mighty.

Facing this god, Bai Yan felt completely insignificant. Perhaps only Mr. Xia and he could continue fighting, while the other powerful beings were left helpless. But how could they possibly overcome a true deity?

“Let me give it a try,” said the god, with confidence.

Suddenly, Mr. Xia found himself surrounded by glowing red pupils. They resembled miniature suns, vibrant with energy. Their scorching heat made it impossible for anyone to approach.

This was the most powerful destructive ability he had ever known.

“The Cataclysm.”

Colorful suns shot toward the figure in the clouds, radiating tremendous energy. If they hit the ground, they could instantly evaporate the entire Tatsumi City.

With just one strike, Mr. Xia lost most of his vitality, aging rapidly with his hair turning gray.

The power was overwhelming, but the cost was equally immense. He had exerted all his strength.

Naturally, the reason was clear:

Challenge the gods!

“Oh, mighty ones of the mortal realm,” the voice of the white figure reached deep into their hearts.

Mr. Xia felt uneasy.

The crowd witnessed an incredible scene as the terrifying colorful suns—like nuclear bombs—floated in the air, one by one vanishing into thin air. There was no trace left behind.

The white figure was completely unharmed.

Was it really impossible?

Mr. Xia furrowed his brow, unable to comprehend why the attack had failed.

Just as mortals cannot comprehend how extraordinary beings wield their powers, the extraordinary beings themselves felt that understanding extraordinary powers was as natural as breathing.

Even a mortal with a firearm could slay the weakest extraordinary being, but the fundamental difference between them was still too vast.

Bai Yan gazed at the divine figures in the sky, realizing that they were adversaries they could not confront. Yet, deep down, he believed that one day, they would.

Eventually, someone would become a god within the Babel Tower.

At that time, whether it be the Steel Throne or the Rainbow, they would no longer be untouchable beings.

Bai Yan felt an inexplicable sense of intuition. He believed the Rainbow would intervene. His hope did not fade.

[Let it be over.]

The white figure spoke again, the words resonating in the hearts of everyone.

Then, a unique ripple emanated from Him, and peculiar changes began to occur within Tatsumi City.

Ordinary bowls and chopsticks transformed into electronic gadgets. Old furniture gained magical powers. Some plants grew mouths and started speaking…

The World had instantly become absurd!

And with “progress,” these things became usable for the god.

The Steel Throne symbolized divinity itself. “Progress” was the concept He represented.

Even the Flame of Light in Mu Ling’s hand “progressed,” gaining its own intelligence.

But soon, the Flame betrayed her. It pierced through her abdomen, and blood gushed out.

“Progress” and “righteousness” were never the same.

Things that had “progressed” turned restless, attacking extraordinary individuals in Tatsumi City.

This wasn’t an attack from the Shadowman, but a phenomenon caused by the “attributes” of progress.

Finally, the Shadowman’s attack came.

God’s attack!

Everyone saw it. White flames appeared in their souls, burning incessantly, growing stronger and threatening to consume them!

And they were utterly helpless.

[Become the necessary fuel for progress.]

Bai Yan realized he was unaffected. But nearly everyone else was.

Could it be an attack targeting the soul’s essence? Effective against non-divine beings, with higher-ranked beings immune?

No!

Mr. Xia was also unaffected. Bai Yan, astonished, noticed a wicked black aura emerging from within Mr. Xia.

That black aura repelled the attack.

Bai Yan recognized the black aura. It had appeared before during the Blank Fire incident.

Suddenly, everything froze in place.

Deep Blue World.

Mu Ling, summoning every last bit of strength, triggered time stagnation.

Yet, in the Deep Blue World, she still felt the pressure, unable to move.

“Drat!” she thought.

The difference between Crown level extraordinaries and gods was still too obvious. Despite her efforts, she couldn’t mount an effective attack.

But she wasn’t ready to give up.

Then, something happened that shocked her.

Only four seconds passed. Time resumed its normal flow.

The once foolproof time freeze had made a mistake. It had missed a second.

[Is it part of the King of Deep Blue’s power? Did you freeze time?]

Although thousands of miles apart, Mu Ling could sense the gaze fixed upon her soul.

[If the true King of Deep Blue were here, they could probably freeze me for a thousand, even ten thousand years, but you are still far from being enough…]

Just when everyone in Tatsumi City was on the brink of hopelessness, Bai Yan heard the voice of an elderly, wise being resonating within his soul.

[I am the enchantment,]

[I had already prepared a seal beforehand. At this moment, I cannot personally appear.]

[The mysterious presence of the Babel Tower…]

[Your soul is unique, capable of containing it…]

[Harness the power bestowed upon me.]

[Defeat the gods!]

At that very moment, Bai Yan understood the identity of the speaker.

It was one of the “Rainbows.”

Anomalous Star.

Harnessing His power?

Bai Yan, still somewhat confused, soon experienced a sudden change.

An endless surge of power flooded into his soul. Vast wisdom, like an endless sea, broadened his vision, allowing him to perceive countless worldly matters.

The World seemed to change.

No, it was me at this moment who had become different from others.
