Chapter 954: Perhaps This Battle was Destined to Happen

The moment the God of Light took out that flesh and blood, the Master of Order knew what it was.

Those were the spoils of the war where the master-disciple duo comprising of the God of Knights and the God of Revenge had won from the battle against the Dragon of Chaos. These two gods had joined forces to fight in this war that left the Dragon of Chaos badly battered up.

Over the years, the God of Light had deepened his understanding of greater Divine Powers through studying these spoils of the war. He also figured out many matters that could be regarded as secrets.

Therefore, he went to look for the Dragon of Chaos. After a long conversation, both sides finally came up with a unique trick.

This was a trick that could most probably be only used once. But its might was powerful and reliable.

So long as the God of Light used his Divine Power as a driving force and spread the aura of this blood over an extensive area, he would be able to awaken Chaos, who was in deep slumber in the deepest depths of the Abyss. The most important thing for Chaos, the demon, was to catch hold of the Dragon of Chaos and devour it. Chaos had to replenish itself with the “chaos” that it had failed to perfect previously so that it could achieve a balance between the dragon’s “evil” and its “chaos.”

This was what the God of Evil originally intended to do. Even if he had already lost his sense of rationality, he would still firmly keep this in mind.

And to make use of this trap to annihilate his enemy was the Dragon of Chaos’ greatest dream. It was also the most important thing to do to protect and sustain this world.

Chaos was the leader, and also the ancestor of demons. Its emergence marked the rise of this group of “demons” in the world. This was a group of demons who paid no heed to anything else and were bent on destroying everything, even to the extent of destroying the entire world. When it was deep asleep, the demons would also be in a deep slumber. The moment it awoke, there was a high chance that all the demons would follow suit and awaken with it. Following in its footsteps, they would attempt to destroy the world.

This was, of course, a great crisis for the whole world. But it was also a great opportunity.

For this world, the existence of demons was a major scourge. It was in the interest of all living creatures of this world, and also, the interest of the entire world, to completely exterminate these demons. Not a single one should be spared. So if there was anyone who could accomplish this noble cause, he was bound to receive the praise and reward from the entire world—in other words, it would be gaining the recognition and affirmation of the World’s Origin.

The original plan of the God of Light was that, when he was about to become a greater Divine Power, he would gather a large number of helpers, cast a net from which there was no possible escape and set up numerous traps. Then he would use this blood to draw in the demons, as well as Chaos, who was their leader. Then he would annihilate all of them and rely on this meritorious contribution; he would win the recognition of the World’s Origin and step up into the realm of the greater Divine Powers.

But plans were never faster than changes. Later on, he found an even more reliable path, and thus this plan was shelved.

Compared to gathering some teammates to fight battles against the demons, it was easier and safer to defeat the many other races and unify the Main Plane. After all, there was only the need to destroy the Orc God System. Gods of the other races were unlikely to risk their lives and put up a struggle. With the power of the human gods, the odds of winning were at least 70 percent.

And to fight the demons… even if he were to consider the possibility of the Master of Order stepping forth to make a move, the odds were at most only 50-50. Among them, there were even possible causes for severe injury. Any careless moves would even bring death in battle to the God of Light himself.

After all… the strength of the demons originally had some power to restrain the “honorable gods.” And their leader was a greater Divine Power.

So this plan had been put aside for the time being. The God of Light originally intended to wait until another junior among the human gods, who had hopes in achieving a breakthrough to become a greater Divine Power, to appear. When that junior had grown and developed himself to the limit of a great Divine Power, the God of Light would reactive this plan. When that time arrived, with him holding the fort as a greater Divine Power, the hope of success would definitely be much higher.

But plans could never keep up with changes. A strange god who was totally unafraid of being contaminated by the forces of chaos appeared in the world. This god was none other than Auscar, the Void Mask.

The Void Mask’s way of doing things clearly adhered to the chaotic good system. But the nature of his power was even more elusive than the evil gods. The nature of his power was odd, and his rate of growth was astonishingly fast. In a short period of more than a hundred years, he had come close to the peak of a great Divine Power. Especially that one palm earlier on, the God of Light absolutely had no intention of showing mercy. If he were to let that palm fall and hit, he was sure that even if Yorgaardman had come to help and combined forces with the Void Mask fight him, the two of them would still be seriously injured. And within the next 300 to 500 years, they could forget about a full recovery—but the Void Mask actually caught his hit, and he had done so without sustaining any serious injury!

This was a great shock for the God of Light. He decided to change his plan for the time being and directly challenge the Master of Order. And while he was challenging the Master of Order, he would summon Chaos and the Wheel of Order.

The Master of Order was the ultimate embodiment of “order.” When he faced Chaos, he would definitely put in his best efforts to eliminate it. This would give the God of Light the chance to defeat the Master of Order. Even if he could not defeat the Master of Order, the God of Light could still take this chance to destroy Chaos and all the kinds of demons to win the recognition of the World’s Origin.

In becoming a greater Divine Power, he had used the fate of the humans as the driving force for his breakthrough. This had inflicted damaging effects on the potential development of the humans. Originally, his plan was to rely on his supreme Divine Power to slowly make amends, but since he wanted to destroy all the different demons, it would not be a bad choice to take advantage of this chance to rely on the rewards of the World’s Origin.

Of course, all of this would only become a choice out of helplessness. Everything and anything that happened was all because the God of Light simply could not afford to wait.

The Void Mask was growing too fast. If he continued to grow, perhaps it would not be long before he joined hands with a few other gods like the Dragon of Chaos and the God of Justice. Their combined forces would be enough to annihilate Chaos and accomplish the great cause of destroying the demons.

Of course, the God of Light would not allow for something like this to happen—how could he simply give up on these interests that he had pre-determined to be his without putting up a fight!

So, though he felt that it was a pity and a waste, and even though the odds of winning were not high, the God of Light still set in motion his back-up plan to incite battle between Chaos and the Master of Order. Then he would profit from the battle that they fought.

All these happenings, their causes and effects, Sui Xiong might know or might not know. But at least, he certainly did not know that he was the exact reason that brought about the rapid change of events in the current situation.

But, at this very moment, he was very clear about something else.

Among all the gods, there was no other who could confront Chaos head-on. He was the only exception.
