Chapter 973: The Battle of the Great Divine Powers (Part 5)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The more Sui Xiong’s power increased, the more disadvantaged the God of Light was.

Originally, the God of Light had not been as powerful as the Master of Order. In order to level the playing field, he had had to swallow the core of the God of Evil for maximum results. If given enough time, say, 800 years, the God of Light could sufficiently digest the core of the God of Evil, he could possibly stabilize the foundation of his powers further just like how Super Saiyan had gone from Tier 1 to Tier 2! It would allow the God of Light to have a giant advantage over any normal Divine Power. However, time did not allow for that right now.

The Master of Order’s level of strength as a great Divine Power was solid, and he could even be considered the ultimate veteran among the great Divine Powers. As for Sui Xiong, although he had just stepped into the great Divine Power level, he was at least in possession of the skill of defense in a war like this. With their alliance, the God of Light was hit from all directions and suffered badly.

Once, the God of Light had also tried to severely damage Sui Xiong while he was internally injured himself. However, Sui Xiong’s Power of Life was simply too strong. Furthermore, he had several Divine Power friends as his second line of defense. After taking every severe hit by the God of Light, there would be Divine Powers rushing over to rescue Sui Xiong, bringing him to a faraway place to recuperate. After a short period of time, Sui Xiong would return to the battle refreshed and lively, causing the God of Light’s attacks to be futile.

No, it was not really futile. For Sui Xiong to heal quickly, there were be at least 300 gods who gathered together each time Sui Xiong was injured. After he was rescued and brought away from the battle, these gods would send divine blessings to him in large amounts. They felt that they needed to cut up a few big holes in Sui Xiong’s body to transfer the divine blessings and nutrients into him using a high-pressure water pipe!

After receiving the divine blessings, Sui Xiong not only recovered extremely quickly but even received an upgrade to his powers every time he was treated. It reached a point where he was a little unsteady in controlling this newfound power as it had increased too quickly for him to be fully comfortable with it.

The sheer amount of added power Sui Xiong had received could easily be seen in his inability to react to it and use it at this moment.

This was also visible if one observed the torn and shattered armor of the God of Light.

With the combined attacks of the Master of Order and Sui Xiong, the God of Light’s situation worsened, and his strength slowly decreased over time. Eventually, his power reached an extremely dangerous low. If he continued to fall, he could even fall from the great Divine Power to Divine Power.

At this point, it was not hard to see that the God of Light would definitely lose this battle.

Nevertheless, Sui Xiong and the Master of Order were still extremely cautious and fervent in their attacks. The God of Light also did not show much frustration or confusion on his face. He simply sighed slightly and seemed extremely disappointed.

“I guess… in the end, we still have to…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Sui Xiong trapped the God of Light once again. As his powers were already greatly diminished, the God of Light could not escape Sui Xiong’s hold. As long as the Master of Order took this chance to attack with all his might, with two or three minutes, the God of Light would really be beaten to death.

The God of Light, who was now in a bad situation, seemed as though he did not want to continue fighting for the next two to three minutes. Instead, his aura suddenly dipped from great Divine Power to Divine Power, to mid-level Divine Power, to low-level Divine Power… With such a drastic drop in aura, under the watchful eye of Sui Xiong and the Master of Order, the God of Light’s aura directly hit rock bottom and even broke the lowest aura of a god, causing his downfall directly to the human level. Even so, it continued decreasing rapidly.

Once his aura had reached the ultimate low, the God of Light suddenly smiled and said lightly, “I will be back.”

This was the last thing he said. Afterwards, the God of Light’s body violently cracked like a ceramic pot hitting the ground. Almost instantly, his body became small pieces of different shapes and sizes.

Sui Xiong froze and cautiously swallowed some of the smaller pieces. Most of the larger pieces, however, slowly disappeared and were nowhere to be found after a while.

“He… has died?” Sui Xiong was a little confused and did not know what exactly had happened.

“Great Divine Powers… do not… die…” After such an intense battle, the Master of Order was a little out of breath. The injuries sustained had also not been treated, and it affected the way he spoke. After a while, the Master of Order treated his injuries and regained his composure before using a neutral yet lively voice to reply Sui Xiong. “The God of Light must have some plan in his mind, and he will definitely resurrect someday. Even so, he will no longer be on an equal playing field with us by then.”

Sui Xiong nodded his head to show his understanding. Although the final act by the God of Light was rather worrying, just as the Master of Order had said, no matter what the God of Light tried to plan, he would definitely not be able to triumph against the alliance between the Master of Order and Sui Xiong. As long as they maintained this alliance and ensured caution against any possible antics when the God of Light resurrected, they did not need to worry about him causing too much chaos again.

Sui Xiong thought for a while before speaking again. “So, does this mean we’ve won the war?”

“Yes, we’ve won,” the Master of Order said. “The order of this world will definitely not be dictated further by the God of Light.”

At this point, Sui Xiong could finally relax, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He suddenly thought of something new and asked, “Just now… why did the God of Light suddenly become so… evil?”

“He perhaps committed the same mistake that my old friend did in the past,” the Master of Order said. “In the past, my friend had also swallowed another Divine Power quickly but was unable to digest him properly. Instead, the swallowed Divine Power fought back and this clash affected my friend’s intelligence, making him a brainless animal. Wuther was definitely stronger than my friend but my friend was not weak either. It would not have been easy for Wuther to digest the God of Evil fully as well!”

“Does this mean the God of Light has been infected by evil?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Well, “infected” may not be the most appropriate term to use here. It is more that he fused with evil.” The Master of Order thought for a while before replying, “Originally, the God of Light was an evil god. Evil was a part of his nature. It was just that he swallowed the God of Evil and the evil parts of him grew significantly, oppressing and cutting off all other parts of him. He thus seemed to be extremely evil on the surface… Given enough time to slowly digest the God of Evil, the situation would have been better.”

The Master of Order thought for a while before shaking his head. “No, actually… the situation would be worse. The God of Light would go from a frantic bully to an evil master in control of his body. The evil parts would not diminish and would simply fuse better with his intelligence, allowing him to use his evil powers in an extra clever way.”

As Sui Xiong heard this, he could not help but worry. “Does this mean he will become infinitely stronger after resurrecting? Just like how in the Human Realm’s stories, is it possible that he will become a giant monster bringing doomsday to his world?”

“He is unable to be strong ever again,” the Master of Order replied. “The great Divine Power level is already the peak level. No great Divine Power can win in a battle with two allied great Divine Powers. By the way, I think it’s opportune that I congratulate and welcome you to the great Divine Power level!’

Sui Xiong then relaxed fully and smiled brightly. He had totally forgotten that he had already advanced to the great Divine Power level!

It was just that… now that he was of this level, Sui Xiong had yet to choose his priesthood. He could not help but feel slightly lost and asked the Master of Order for his opinion and advice.

“If you have no priesthood, you can continue with that.” The Master of Order was rather open-minded. “If you’re willing, I can transfer my priesthood of order to you and allow you to be the new Master of Order of this generation. However, knowing you, you would not want to. In this world, there are naturally many gods who only took over certain priesthoods because they were able to do so with their powers. But yet, they do not truly suit their priesthoods. The Dragon of Chaos, who gave you that enormous amount of spiritual power, was also someone who went down that path. He was a leader of the gods. Since you’ve inherited his powers, why not take over his identity as well?”

Sui Xiong was slightly taken aback as he did not expect the Master of Order to give such a suggestion. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you mean to suggest that I should become an evil god?”

“Yes, you should of course become an evil god if you intend to be the leader of the evil gods.” An unreadable expression appeared on the Master of Order’s face. “Actually, over the past few years, you have been walking on that path as well. Maybe it’s time for me to call you Master of Void Mask.”

Sui Xiong thought back to the past and felt that the Master of Order made a lot of sense. He thus was able to relax and smiled back at the Master of Order.

“Alright! In that case, I will become an evil god and be the Master of Void Mask,” Sui Xiong said cheerily. “The more I think about it, the more sure I am. Perhaps this is the time for me quote some poetry to express my delight…”
