Chapter 984: Tenacity (Part 2)

In the center of the hall, at the side of the Holy Avenger, a spark of fire was burning. Although it was extremely weak, it gave off an extremely powerful vibe. The flame illuminated and protected all the light balls present in the hall and protected them staunchly against the evil order of the entire new world.

The flame was even able to split into several waves, and its protection encompassed the remains of several temples on the floor. Even the great Divine Power and orderly Sui Xiong only noticed its existence after a while.

Sui Xiong carefully flew to where the flame was. He was afraid that if he used too much strength, he would extinguish this weak flame. Within the flame, he saw a figure of a Pighead. This Pighead was old and ugly, and as thin as a skeleton. It was as if he only had one layer of skin left wrapped around his bones. It was a horrifying sight to see. Even so, one could see that the Pighead’s facial expression was one of anguish. It was clear that he had gone through great pain.

The Pighead’s body was shaking as he propped himself up with a cane, carefully straightening his posture. It was evident that a lot of effort was required for him to maintain his balance given the pain he was in, and for him to not simply crash and fall onto the ground.

Sui Xiong took a few seconds to recognize who this Pighead was.

He was the newest god out of Sui Xiong’s underlings, a god of salt-making, “Salt-Pig” Fira Kenji. It was not surprising to Sui Xiong that Fira Kenji had appeared at the final front against the God of Light’s new order. He was well aware of Fira’s loyalty towards him. However, Sui Xiong was extremely befuddled as to why Fira Kenji was standing in front of the flame, as if he was being burnt alive. Furthermore, where had all the other gods gone?

Sui Xiong had a few guesses in his head, but he willed them to be untrue. Trembling, he reached out a shaky hand into the flame.

An extremely familiar strength could be felt, and it was made out of bravery, steadfastness, light, loyalty and tenacity. Sui Xiong, of course, knew the source of this strength was Leon. Although the demigod Leon Igor was much stronger in Sui Xiong’s mind, this was the basic core of his strength without question.

Accompanying this strength was another unique strength. This latter strength had a similar nature to the new order and was probably left behind by the Master of Order. However, it was already extremely weak and did not have any intelligence left. It was just spinning on the spot in a fixed direction aimlessly. This strength continuously maintained itself and its spinning movements through the flame in order to maintain the boundary surrounding the temple and to prevent the new order from fully shutting out the old order and removing the last traces of it.

Once Sui Xiong reached his hand into the flame, that unique strength immediately tensed up and tried to gain energy from Sui Xiong instead of maintaining its efforts. The way that it tried to do so, of course, was by burning up. If Sui Xiong wanted to, he of course could prevent himself from getting burnt. However, instead of pulling away, Sui Xiong transferred much of his energy to the flame, allowing it to grow from a weak spark to a steady fire that illuminated the entire hall.

Under the illumination of the fire, several paintings appeared on the walls surrounding the hall. These paintings were extremely familiar to Sui Xiong and, combined together, formed a long scroll that told a story. Sui Xiong used divine thought to cast a sweeping glance across the scroll and quickly understood its contents. This long scroll detailed the resistance of the old order towards the new order. Just as Sui Xiong had guessed, when he had brought his entire God Kingdom and fell into the Main Plane, he had been sent to where the God of Virtue was while his God Kingdom had been torn apart and used as the foundation of Void City to build the foundation front for the resistance against the God of Light.

After a period of time, the Master of Order stopped fighting the God of Light and retreated to Void City. In that war, he had become wiser and thus used this Sanctuary as a defensive front, allowing him to eventually halt their battle and hold off the God of Light.
