Chapter 959: Chaos, Over and Above Common Sense (Part 1)
With the help of the great Divine Powers, the final few demons were quickly defeated.
But with the exception of one, the others were all sealed up by the great Divine Powers. The great Divine Powers did not know Sui Xiong’s move, so there was no way they could completely exterminate the demons.
Finally, only three out of the 24 demons managed to evade the fate of extermination.
After they destroyed these demons, that amorphous creature had also climbed high enough to approach the mouth of the Abyss. It made a strange roar. But the mere sound of that roar was able to make more than one god tremble inwardly, forcing them to retreat pathetically.
Unlike the somewhat confounded gods, Sui Xiong simply remained unmoved as he advanced towards it.
“I’ll hold the fort on the Positive Plane,” he said. “All of you must be more careful not to get hit by it—though it’s actually still very dangerous not to get it, getting hit would make things even worse.”
“How bad is it going to be?” asked the God of Justice.
“Previously, the God of Conspiracy merely touched it once, which caused him to be eroded by its power. He had thus lost his life,” Sui Xiong said. “Of course, you are all great Divine Powers, much stronger than the God of Conspiracy, who was only a low-level Divine Power. But in the face of this God of Evil who has even devoured the Master of Chaos, I don’t think any great Divine Power will have it better than a low-level Divine Power.”
The gods were all in awe. Of course, they knew the difference between a great Divine Power and a low-level Divine Power. They were even clearer about the difference between a greater Divine Power and a great Divine Power. To engage in battle with a greater Divine Power was dangerous enough, not to mention the fact that Chaos was not only “one” greater Divine Power. It was actually a combination that was the equivalent of two greater Divine Powers.
In the face of such an enemy, there was no way one could ever be cautious enough!
Also, no matter how much caution one practiced, it might not even be of any help.
For a moment, more than one god showed intentions of retreating. They were not cowards, but they were certainly not fearless in the face of death. As leaders of great forces, even if there was the need for someone to take the risk to brave the untold dangers and charge into the enemies’ lines, it should not be them.
But looking at that figure in front of them, whose entire body was radiating brilliant white light, bravely charging towards Chaos, those gods who had just retreated a little could not help feeling a little ashamed of themselves. Secretly, they banished all thoughts of retreating.
Just as how people had their sense of shame, the gods were no exception. At this moment, their battle was being closely watched by countless gods from the Thousand Worlds. If they were to retreat at this point in time, that would really be throwing away all their dignity!
But, were they really going to fight against a greater Divine Power—and a greater Divine Power with doubled power at that?
Being able to make such a choice without feeling afraid was nonetheless, a little difficult.
Just as the gods were all feeling very troubled, a voice was heard. Evidently, there were hints of timidity and weakness in this voice, but on the other hand, it was a voice that was strong enough to summon up courage.
“Don’t be afraid of being polluted by its touch! Whether it’s Chaos or the Abyss, it’s nothing more than the power of chaos that is being used to pollute the gods. I can help you all fight this pollution.”
The gods looked back and saw the Dragon of Chaos approaching.
At this moment, on the three faces of the Dragon of Chaos, one was wearing a woebegone look, one was filled with anger, and the third was calm. He did not rush up to them, he merely said aloud from a distance, “Both this fellow and I each wield a part of the power of chaos. Though I am likely to be instantaneously killed by it if we were to really fight each other, it’s still within my means to help you all fend off its pollution.
“So, rest assured. So long as you are only polluted by the power of chaos and not directly killed by it, just leave it to me!”
Hearing these words, the gods were greatly relieved. All of them were good warriors who had braved countless battles. In the face of this strange power of chaos, everyone was somewhat uncertain and lacking in confidence. But it was simply confronting a powerful enemy, then that would not matter much, right?
Even if they could not defeat the enemy, they could at least hide from it!
With such a thought, the great Divine Powers retreated no more. They were quick to follow behind Sui Xiong, and together, they headed in the direction of the Abyss.
