Chapter 600: Chapter 140

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The human god System had three great Divine Powers, namely, the God of Light, the God of Protection and the God of Heroes.

The God of Light was ranked as the topmost master out of the three supreme great Divine Powers. He was qualified to compete for rank of second-in-command within the Pantheon temple, a position secondary only to the Master of Order. On the other hand, the God of Protection and the God of Heroes were merely at the entry level of a great Divine Power. Within the realm of a great Divine Power, they were regarded as the bottom of the hierarchy. But regardless, they were still great Divine Powers after all!

The God of Protection, in particular, was extremely skilled in defense. At that moment, his entire body was surrounded by a divine light. Apparently, that was him appearing in his truest form. The shield that he carried was also glowing radiantly, and this impressive sight also indicated the authenticity of the shield he had brought along. He did not transform himself to take the appearance of a giant; thus he was so insignificant that he was nothing worth mentioning when compared to the size of the entire Void Warship. However, even with the Void Warship, the Goddess of Pirates would never dare to try confronting the God of Protection head-on. She could only bring the Void Warship to an urgent halt.

This “emergency brake” came so suddenly that at least a third of the warriors onboard were thrown off balance. Many of them stumbled about and eventually fell to the ground like falling gourds.

The Master of War frowned and gestured to his side. Then the God of Strategy and the God of War jumped up from where they were and transformed into two streams of light before flying off to where the God of Protection stood.

“What’s the meaning of this?” the God of War, with his body and face full of bruises, asked ferociously. “Are you trying to pick a fight!?”

The God of War and the God of Strategy both had mid-level Divine Powers, but when it came to combat power, both were confident that they would not lose out to the God of Protection. The God of Protection’s ability was too undistinguished, highly capable in defense but lacking when it came to attacking. Even if they could not win the fight, they could still ensure that they were able to make a dignified retreat without sustaining any serious injuries.

This confidence, coupled with the anger in their hearts, naturally made their tones unfriendly and hostile. As he spoke, the God of War had already taken out his weapon, just like someone who would wield his blade to hack someone up the moment there was the slightest disagreement.

The God of Protection was completely unmoved. After waiting for about a minute or two, he slowly opened his mouth to reply.

“Welcome!” he said in a dry tone. “Although relying on our strength alone is enough to defeat the entire Mystery God system, we would still like to welcome everyone who has come together as comrades!”

The various Gods of War were startled upon hearing his words. Sui Xiong was so surprised that he jumped to his feet.

What?! The human god System had already gone ahead and attacked the Mystery God System?!

“How is that possible!” Sui Xiong could not help flying out. He landed right before the God of Protection, and in a loud voice, he asked, “At the time when I left, which was not too long ago, all was well, wasn’t it? Why are you all fighting all of a sudden?”

The God of Protection had fought alongside Sui Xiong on previous occasions, so more or less, they shared some form of friendship. Hearing Sui Xiong’s questions, the God of Protection cast him a glance and replied in the same slow tone, “It was just after you left when we made our move.”

Sui Xiong was even more surprised and hurriedly asked, “Since that time, you all have ambushed the surroundings?”

“Not exactly the surroundings. At that time, we were outside the Country of Rainbow,” The God of Protection said. “However, there was someone responsible for keeping a close watch over ‘the Seven Colors Spring’ as we waited for an opportunity to strike.”

A sudden thought struck Sui Xiong, and he asked aloud, “How did you all know there was an opportunity?”

The God of Protection was silent for a moment; then he replied, “I didn’t know. I just waited there, that’s all.”

“So, who told you there would be an opportunity?”

The God of Protection did not reply.

It was then that a strong tremor suddenly spread over the Positive Plane of the entire Ring of the World. This tremor did not contain any form of power, yet it evoked a heart-throbbing sensation.

At the same time, all spellcasters from all over the world could clearly sense the chaos of magic power. The power they used to be able to control easily suddenly felt so distant from them. Furthermore, there was a determined voice resounding within them.

“I, Ymirjar Le-Peyroux, will never surrender!”

Right after this angry roar, there was another faint, long sigh; following this sigh, the magic power got even more violent. All the spellcasters felt an emptiness in their hearts as though they had suddenly lost a large part of it.

Magic arrays from all parts of the world started to vibrate and shake violently. All magic props seemed to rapidly lose their glow as though they had lost their powers. There were also some people who previously consumed magic potions to prolong their lives that rapidly grew so old that it seemed as though they might die the very next second.

Then, another long laugh was heard.

“Old friend, there is no need for you to take things so hard!”

This laugh was like an anchor of stability, and right away, it brought that riotous magic power back to a state of calm and peace. The magic arrays that were about to collapse a moment ago resumed normality; the magic props regained their glow, and the magic potions restored their power.

However, spellcasters from a thousand other worlds grew all the more frightened and worried.

Even without any knowledge about the various gods, anyone could vaguely guess what was going on at that moment. The great magicians with rich experience and extensive knowledge would most certainly clearly understand what was happening.

The Mystery God System had been compromised. The God of Spellcaster was unwilling to surrender, and out of anger, he committed suicide. Likewise, the Master of Mystery also wanted to take his own life, but he was subdued by his opponent before he had his way.

Anything that mortals could understand, the various gods would most certainly be able to understand even better. Even for those who did not understand what was going on, one could see how the God of Spellcaster suddenly disappeared from the Pantheon temple, with his throne collapsing altogether. One could also see how the Master of Mystery sighed while looking so dejected—anyone could guess from these obvious clues that something unpleasant had happened.

Sui Xiong was communicating with Wall right then. Wall was half-surprised and half-delighted as he exclaimed, “Your Majesty! The Mystery God System is done for! The God of Art and Culture has now pledged allegiance to us!”

“Take him in and protect him well,” Sui Xiong replied compendiously.

“Understood!” Wall replied immediately; then he asked again, “What else do we have to do?”

“I am in the vicinity right now. Let’s play by the ear, if there is anything advantageous to us along the way, I will not stand on ceremony,” Sui Xiong replied quite casually; then he ended the conversation.

Inside the Sanctuary, with eyes wide open and mouth agape, Wall was quite stunned.

“His Majesty… how could he have made his way to the ‘Seven Colors Spring’ in such a short period of time? His speed unbelievably fast!”

Right before Wall stood the God of Art and Culture with a face filled with worry and unease. Seeing Wall’s response to Sui Xiong’s answer, he could not help asking, “That… His Majesty, the Void Mask, how exactly did he answer you?”

Wall also happened to recover from his preoccupied state just then. With a smile, he patted the God of Art and Culture on the shoulder and reassured him, saying, “Fret not, His Majesty has given us his word. From now on, you can stay here with us. Aye! If you ask me, I would have told you to move in with us ages ago. Wouldn’t here be much more suitable for you than the Seven Colors Spring?”

The God of Art and Culture finally heaved a long sigh of relief as though a large stone was lifted off his chest.

Just now, numerous human gods launched a sudden attack. With their combined forces, the three great Divine Powers had quickly broken through the defense of the Seven Colors Spring within the God’s Kingdom of the Mystery God System. The impending battle made him decide to abandon his body over at the God’s Kingdom of the Mystery God System. Right away, he transferred his divinity over to the outside of the Main Plane so that he could take care of his clone that he had left at his one and only temple (i.e., the Great Theatre of Void City). Instantly, he had switched between his noumenon and his clone.

Then while spellcasting to shift the souls of his core followers away, he did not hesitate in sprinting towards the Sanctuary within the God’s Kingdom of the Void God System. He was looking for the God of Knowledge with whom he shared quite a close friendship with. The moment he got there, the first thing he said was, “The Mystery God System is finished. I have come to pledge my allegiance to you. On account of our friendship, do take me in!”

Wall was thrown into a loss by what the God of Art and Culture said, so he contacted Sui Xiong, who explained the scene that just unfolded.
