After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 502 - 197: The End of an Era
Cannot get in.
The Goddess of Life’s palm pressed against an invisible barrier, obstructing her from joining the final battle, even severing her connection with Ahtal.
Now she could only watch the God of Omniscience duel with Ahtal.
This battle was about the future of the world.
"Who will win next?" the Goddess of Lies suddenly appeared, her hand on her beret, and her light red hair fluttering in the wind.
"It seems bad no matter who wins," she said with a sly smile, her gaze firmly locked on the undefeated God of Omniscience.
The strongest god in the world.
No matter what kind of enemy, as long as there was a sliver of possibility to win, the God of Omniscience with the power of answering could master the method to defeat.
"Perhaps there would be a different future if there was enough time," the Goddess of Life pursed her lips, letting out a melancholy sigh.
Upon realizing that Ahtal had used the God of Omniscience’s cosmic authority to create rules that limited the actions of the God of Omniscience, she immediately figured out how to defeat the God of Omniscience. If she had enough time to understand the laws of the God of Omniscience, to find the corresponding loopholes, to use these rule breaches to create a suitable combat environment, then the God of Omniscience might not be as troublesome as he was now.
But Ragnarok came too quickly, not giving them any time to react, as if the end of the world arrived in the blink of an eye.
No matter how brilliant one was, there wasn’t enough time to prepare the desired strategy.
"Danger always comes unexpectedly; it’s an unavoidable thing," the Goddess of Lies surprisingly said calmly, "If turned to ashes, that’s also unavoidable."
At this, she scratched her cheek with her finger.
"However, I really hope it’s not Ahtal who kills me; that would make me very unhappy."
The Goddess of Life raised her hand and rubbed the Goddess of Lies’ head, looking at the God of Omniscience and Ahtal confronting each other. Their distance was closing slowly, yet unexpectedly, they did not take immediate action, cautious and careful like human duelists.
High heavens.
The atmosphere was tense and oppressive; both despair and hope coexisted in the hearts of All Gods, pessimistic about the God of Omniscience losing his immortality, fighting a duel with Ahtal, who was adept at fighting, but also hoping the God of Omniscience would remain invincible as always.
The undefeated God of Omniscience.
The King of Ash burning the world.
In the hour of transition between old and new eras, their duel started, with their victory determining in what way the world would continue to exist.
"Boom——!"
Without knowing when or who initiated it, the clear sound of clashing swords echoed within the barrier, announcing the start of this supreme battle.
Xi Mu’s body and the longsword in his hand both turned into light, colliding with the longsword wielded by the God of Omniscience, as if two crescents clashed, shattering the ground with their impact and instantly compressing the surrounding air into a vacuum.
Without a moment’s hesitation.
Xi Mu stepped back with his foot, then immediately hacked down with his longsword held at a tricky angle towards the God of Omniscience’s heart.
By then, the God of Omniscience was no longer showing the attack without delay but similarly turned to light for his slash.
This, of course, was only to be expected; the so-called attack without delay came from the God of Omniscience’s power, due to the added effect of cosmic authority. If Ahtal also obtained that cosmic authority, then the attack without delay naturally would not take effect, and he could only fight using his own abilities.
"Clang!" The clashing swords sparked brilliantly, illuminating the faces of the God of Omniscience and Ahtal, their gazes only on each other, embarking on a high-level technical melee, exuding a sense of danger like walking on a tightrope.
Even the slightest deviation could end the battle in an instant.
"Why can the God of Omniscience display such a high level of close-quarters combat?" the Goddess of Lies questioned, "Hasn’t the God of Omniscience always crushed his enemies with his vast power before?"
"The power of answering can enable the God of Omniscience to grasp all close-quarters combat knowledge in the world at the fastest speed. As long as He asks, He is bound to receive the answer," the Goddess of Life explained, "Even if the God of Omniscience has never experienced any close-quarters combat, it doesn’t matter; as long as He has the thought, He can master it."
The Goddess of Lies fell silent: "Then it can only come down to the battle consciousness of Ahtal and the God of Omniscience themselves."
The Goddess of Life nodded and said: "Having mastered the relevant knowledge, and understanding the respective processes, the key to determining victory or defeat then would be..."
"The application of the technique itself, and each other’s courage and decisiveness," the Goddess of Lies said with a sly, shallow smile, her beautiful eyes reflecting the battle within the dueling field,
She had never been so concerned about a duel, a battle she wouldn’t forget for tens of thousands of years.
The Goddess of Life did not respond, as if acquiescing to the words of the Goddess of Lies. She watched the battle in the dueling field; every strike of the contenders was almost at the speed of light, too fast for the naked eye to observe, each blow containing a guaranteed-hit effect that would kill any ordinary god... no, any ordinary omnipotent being, should they step into the dueling ground.
Even though the battle seemed very ordinary compared to their previous fights, without world-clearing attacks or creating earth-shattering phenomena, it showed a more difficult capability.
This was not because Ahtal and the God of Omniscience had lost their incredible abilities, they still possessed the power to destroy the world itself.
