Chapter 963 (2/2)

“If progress is so pointless, how did the humans defeat the other races?”

The two greater Divine Powers were having a conversation while fighting an intense battle. Their combat means might have seemed very ordinary, where not even a subtle move could be seen. Yet in truth, time and space were distorted by every hit they threw at each other. Any opponent whose power was not on the same level as them would have been torn to shreds by their merciless attacks and lost their lives without even some time to wrap their minds over what really happened.

Sui Xiong found himself in a similar situation when he received Chaos’ attack just now. But Chaos had already lost a great part of its ability of reason; thus, it could only rely on its instincts to execute its means. Compared to the precise and dexterous means of the two greater Divine Powers, its crude methods were simply nothing more than child’s play.

Just as the Master of Order had previously told the Dragon of Chaos, so long as he defeated the God of Light, he would be readily available to render his help. By then, beating off Chaos would nothing much.

But the problem was, the God of Light was much more difficult to defeat as compared to Chaos.

“By pestering me like this, you are actually helping Chaos. Do you know? This is as good as betraying the whole world!”

“Betraying the whole world? Since when did the great Master of Order pick up the ways of the earthly pettifoggers and resort to playing such tricks of sophistry? It’s very simple if you wish to save the world. You just have to concede defeat now and hand over to me, the power to dominate and lead the world order. And I will crush Chaos as soon as I turn around.”

“You were the one who started this war.”

“Why are you bothered over such a trifling matter! Can’t you just give in a little to save the world?” said the God of Light as a deriding laugh was heard coming from under his visor. “Could it be… Your determination in wanting to save the world is only just up to this degree, after all?”

The Master of Order was silent for a moment, then answered coldly, “I disagree with your rules!”

“Over and over again, it’s still nothing more than this line. You’re really one stubborn old mule who’s stuck in a rut!”

Though the two greater Divine Powers had temporarily stopped for a moment, being unable to see eye to eye with each other meant that ultimately, they had to fight again. Neither side would yield an inch.

And at the border between the Matter Plane and the Negative Plane of the Ring of the World, Sui Xiong had, once again, waged a ferocious war on Chaos.

Chaos’ combat means had not changed much from before and that clever technique of distorting time and space seemed to be nothing more than a flash of inspiration. But Sui Xiong did not dare show any hint of negligence. He exercised great caution and stood guard against any bizarre means that Chaos would possibly use.

The strange thing was, this time when they exchanged blows, Sui Xiong felt that Chaos’ prowess seemed to have dropped.

Its attacks were no longer as heavy as before, and its defensive ability was not as high as before. Every time Sui Xiong’s tentacles collided with its dirty mud, he could clearly feel this weakening trend.

And… it seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

“What on earth is going on? Why is Chaos becoming weaker? What the hell is happening to it?”

Sui Xiong was secretly puzzling over these questions, but he did not dare to let his guard down. He had suffered a great loss earlier on and that made him clear on how powerful and dangerous Chaos was. Now, even if there were a thousand ducks cackling by his ears, he would never get distracted again!

As time went by, Sui Xiong gradually realized that the situation did not seem to be the same as what he speculated earlier on.

Chaos did not become weaker. And the attacks by the other gods still did not have any effect on it. Even his big brother, Yorgaardman’s light blade, was only something that was visible without practical use.

Sui Xiong was more and more doubtful. And he felt that within his surrounding time and space, this doubt seemed to be undergoing some changes. Immediately, he pulled back and retreated, and was just in time to dodge a hit from the repeated attacks of Chaos. He watched the blackness of the dirty mud before him. It was building a cage to encircle him. But when everything finally fell apart, it became the definite answer for Sui Xiong’s doubts.

The one who changed was not Chaos, but he himself.

It was not that Chaos had become weak. It was him, he who had become stronger!
