Chapter 953 (2/2)

Did this mean that their movements during the “battle” were in fact, just their way of constantly seeking each other’s flaws? And the real confrontation only occurred when they were “quietly still?”

Was it just that the level of such sort of confrontation was simply too high, or its speed was much too fast that even Sui Xiong was blind to it?

Sui Xiong whispered this conjecture of his to Yorgaardman, who went still for a moment. Then he carefully scrutinized the situation and slowly, he started to show a thoughtful expression.

“So…” he whispered, “No wonder… no wonder!”

“What on earth is this all about?” Sui Xiong asked out of curiosity.

“The reason why we can’t see their battle clearly is not because of the difference in ours and their levels. But rather, it’s because the world around us has been distorted by their power. What we see are scenes from different times, which are definitely not scenes of the situation happening at this very moment at all.”

Yorgaardman paused for a moment to allow Sui Xiong some time to grasp what he said. Then he went on to say, “The reason why the source of the world vibrates every time we see them at a standstill is that every time they exchange blows, their powers will fall on each other instead. Thus the world around us becomes less distorted. So the world around us tends to be at a standstill in such a situation—which was none other than the stagnant image that we see. On the contrary, during the intervals of their battle, the world around us becomes more distorted. Those images of battling will then be transmitted out to where we are able to see.”

“So that goes to say that if we move closer, we can see what’s happening in real-time?”

Yorgaardman gave a bitter laugh, shook his head, then said, “By moving closer, we might perhaps really see what’s going on in real-time, but that is if we have the chance to make it back alive.”

Sui Xiong was still, then he too laughed bitterly.

Getting close to the battlefield of the two greater Divine Powers? Even if he was tired of living and wished to die, there was no need to seek such a way of dying where it was likely to be excruciatingly painful!

Although, he did have a strange feeling that even if he were to get closer, he might not necessarily die. But no one could live just by gut feelings alone, and what if this was nothing more than an illusion?

When on high grounds, many people would feel, “So long as I jump, I will be able to fly,” when in fact, they would fall and become a heap of mess. Then the policemen would have to go through the trouble of clearing their dead bodies from the scene. At the same time, their horrible deaths might cause the witnesses to be harassed by nightmares, and their loved ones would be weeping out of sadness. All these things were for sure…

Oh, this might even attract the attention of several online public relations firms who would create all kinds of rumors, be it true or false, and spread them on social media platforms like WeChat and Sina Weibo! Perhaps in the blink of an eye, the identities of the dead, as well as the time and venue of the incident, would all be changed. Or maybe the whole world would have to keep up with them by moving all over the globe, from Paris, the city of the arts, to Hong Kong, the Pearl of the East, and then from the snow-capped Siberia to the sweltering Equatorial Guinea…

Just as thoughts were thronging in Sui Xiong’s mind, right in the middle of the battlefield where no one could see clearly, the God of Light and the Master of Order had stopped the fight for the time being.

Both greater Divine Powers had suffered some injuries. On the whole, the God of Light’s situation was slightly worse while the Master of Order’s situation was significantly better.

“Now, you’re still not as powerful as me,” said the Master of Order. “If you choose to challenge me again in 10 thousand years’ time, maybe you’ll still stand a chance of winning.”

“Ten thousand years? I can wait that long, but this trick that I’m going to use, which is my forte, can’t wait,” replied the God of Light as he sneered. “I have to admit that now, you are indeed stronger. But victory and defeat have never been decided by virtue of one’s own strength!”

“You mean to say that you still have some dangerous cards that you have yet to reveal?”

“Of course! In fact, I didn’t want to challenge you so early in the first place. But after exchanging blows with the Void Mask a while ago, I realized that his power far exceeds my expectations. In that case, that trick of mine might be destroyed by the Void Mask way before I can even use it. If that is so, then I can only choose to challenge you ahead of time and quickly utilize that trick of mine.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing that trick of yours. I hope it will not be a letdown.”

“Fret not! You will not be disappointed!” said the God of Light as he laughed heartily. He was holding another gray and dull-looking light ball in his hand, which he suddenly crushed into pieces.

As that light ball shattered and cracked, an aura that was completely different from that of the Master of Order spread. Then even more blood and flesh floated amidst the void space messily. Though they had been sealed for so long, they still contained a powerful strength, especially that extreme and pure taste of Chaos. Even the Master of Order could not help but frown and take a step back subconsciously.

He was not afraid of this power, but he abhorred this aura. That was naturally an instinctive reaction.

“Chaos?” he asked. His face, which had always been expressionless, showed a look of surprise. Then he was hit by a realization and turned his head to look in another direction beneath his feet.

That was the direction of the abyss, the direction where the deepest region of the abyss was. It was the place where the most terrifying magic beasts in the entire history of the world slept. It was also the place where those demons and gods, whose ultimate goal was to destroy the world, lived.

As he was looking in the direction of the abyss, he saw that it was boiling and bubbling.

An aura of unimaginable vastness was rising from the abyss. It was rising from a certain place that no one had ever seen before. Within an instant, the aura had spread throughout the entire abyss. Then it continued to spread in all directions, furnishing everywhere with its overwhelming presence as it headed towards the Negative Plane of the Ring of the World.

At the same time, a vague voice sounded.

That voice sounded so incoherent that even the most knowledgeable scholar would not be able to differentiate what it meant to say. But based on their feelings, anyone who heard it would be able to understand what it meant.

It meant—Chaos.

In the whole wide world, amidst the Big Circulation of the Thousand Worlds, there was only one who could make such a sound.

This was the creator of the abyss, the Master of Demons, a former greater Divine Power that had since fallen. It was the earliest, and also most powerful demon. It was the most terrifying crisis in the world.

This was Chaos, and it had awakened.
