Chapter 348: Mars’ Evolution

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav

Incarnations, astral projections, other similar constructions weren’t that rare Many powerful existences of other planes were limited by the mortal plane’s natural laws and, unable to use their true bodies to enter the mortal plane, could only send their incarnations or projections

From a certain standpoint, such di the world of Eich

As long as the Elemental Tide’s density remained insufficient, the very existence of top-level existences in theunpredictable influences upon an area or even the entire plane

For instance, if a God whose Divine Concept was Rain descended, then a radius of several hundred kilometers around them would likely become a permanent rainstorm, the worst ene on a certain “Rain God” who always met with rainstor to reference a certain unlucky person ould always have ato steal the headlines—nope! [1] 1

Cough , getting back on track, it would still be alright if a Rain God descended as the Divine Concept of Rain was relatively mellow The descent of soreater havoc

For instance, when the Demon Earl’s main body descended, vast swathes of land were infused with Chaos, scorching the land Anywhere his blood fell becaer harbor life, even today Unless soative influence could last for several dozen or hundreds of years

In most heroic epics, there were stories about how “Eternal shadoinds would blohere a De has fallen” Actually, it was it was the same here, too

The increase in the Eleradually changing as well This was just like how if you dripped a drop of vivid paint into a glass of water, the water would swiftly change color But if you dripped paint into a bucket of water, a pool of water, or even a river, lake, or ocean of water, that the influence would be hardly noticeable

Just as how huainst outside virus invaders, the world of Eich would also autoe viruses” unless they proved to be “harahest, the mortal plane became just like an “ocean” in which all the doors to the mortal plane were throide open

Yet currently, the Elemental Tide was much lower, and the doors were opened by a small crack You wanted to enter? Sure, but you still needed to obey the di overly destructive would be left outside Powerful existences could only send incarnations, astral projections and such

Countless techniques were out there to do such a thing, but they foundationally worked the same way First, construct a physical body that theto accept Then, inject one’s willpower, soul, or whatever into it Based on the different techniques used, the main body would either fall into a deep sleep or act just like normal

And so, just like how airport security worked in my previous world, a country’s airport would treat you differently based on your status If you were a visitor from a friendly country, the security process would be quite simple If you were from a not-so-friendly country, perhaps first you would be checked to see if you were a spy, erous terrorist together with twenty-four hour surveillance, or siether

The incarnations for the powerful existences in other planes were siainst when they entered and limited in hoerful their incarnations were allowed to be It would be the easiest for the mortal plane’s True Gods After all, the Gods were existences that already understood part of thetheoverntheir own churches Nor would their incarnations require extra divine power to maintain

Since the True Gods counted as VIPs that could skip the security clearance process, of course there were also existences that were highly li allowed to enter the mortal plane

The harshest conditions of all would be iainst the demons and devils After all, they wielded the powers of Chaos and were the s on the side of Order And with their track record, they would never be up to any good in the mortal plane

The descent of soe incident wherever they appeared Soht be a plot that would affect a massive area, perhaps even the entire continent Typically, all the Gods’ churches would take action together and thoroughly begin cleansing all the heretical dereat de sohly likely that a True God’s incarnation would arrive shortly thereafter to handle it

So, the strongest existences in the lower planes would be refused entry in over ninety-nine percent of all cases,it quite difficult for therants with the “most-hated” status Not only did they need blood sacrifices and other such evil rituals to open the door for them, they also needed to pay a constant price to maintain their incarnations in the er be able to pay that price and would be forced to obediently return to the Chaos Abyss or hell It was just like an illegal i a surprise inspection and forced to return hoo, Elisa the Demon Marchioness finally used up all the power of the beastmen blood sacrifice which allowed her to descend She could only helplessly cancel her incarnation and return to the Chaos Abyss, while I returned to the aard situation of having to call her every h , it wasn’t that easy, however, for the True Gods to send out incarnations Incarnations would typically contain divine power and shards of their Concept, along with part of their divine soul The death of an incarnation would be a huge loss to any True God, perhaps causing a large decrease in their divine power and would take an incredible a with time, to recover

That hy there were even plenty of plots aiainst the True Gods Since it was impossible for anyone to destroy their dooal would be to destroy an incarnation It was also possible for a God to have an incarnation killed off by e historical event Of course, the former would be a heroic deed, while the latter would becoh about for several hundred years

Although incarnations were limited in power level, there was also no need to be as concerned with an incarnation’s death coes and disadvantages But fro was the equivalent of one’s soul experiencing a virtual death, and it was unavoidable that it would weaken any existence who lost that incarnation

That hy the Gods would prefer perfor a God’s Descent upon one of their own believers or priests over sending down an incarnation Not only would this let them reach power levels that surpassed incarnations, they also wouldn’t have to worry about the negative effects of an incarnation’s death However, there were far too few mortals that possessed the ability and body necessary for a God’s Descent Not only that, the death rate of h, which hy incarnations still remained the co an incarnationset back several hundred years in power level, and it was also common for their ht cause their ene up on them This was no small matter Numerous powerful demons and True Gods had all been forever deleted fro an incarnation in theaht now, the Goddess of Wealth was forced into voluntarily self-destructing her own incarnation This was the best evidence that she had been forced to the very brink and that she no longer had any confidence in winning She knew that at this rate, she would be defeated in the end and lose her incarnation anyways, which ht as well self-destruct and take her opponent with her

As Beyana was one of the younger Gods, being forced to such a brink by a far older titan Giant wasn’t so to lose a lot of divine power It was perfectly understandable why she sounded so angry and why she was trying so hard to at least recoup some of her losses

“…Have a nice trip You’re such a generous person, willing to sacrifice yourself for others I’ll etically waved ood trip However, all I received was a hostile glare So, I changed to using the farewell greeting froendary hyoodbye to heroic warriors

“Ah, friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! Beyana~ Hurry and self-destruct, I can’t take this anyoodbye! I shall bury you in a tall hillside and plant a pretty flower… I seeet it, it’s fine as long as I conveyMay the heroic warrior Beyana rest in peace No need to have any worries, as I shall help loot your corpse for your ite was transh her priest Anlan as I waved ever lared at even more viciously

Suddenly, Beyana, whose incarnation appeared just like pure gold, bit her teeth with an aggrieved expression and started collapsing like a deht poured out froold

Booht blinded everyone, and a deafening booht that the Goddess of Wealth’s self-destruction would have soe a as its self-destruction, apart from the visual effects, there’s still no foundational difference or creativity”

“Your Highness Roland… The Goddess says she heard everything you said and she’s quite angry She says, ‘Why don’t you try and come up with some creative le piece of her God Equipht then, since I did proht as well start working

Without wasting any lasses out of ice, hopped atop Erebella and flew into the sky I rushed to the scene but suddenly stopped when I got closer and saas before me

A True God’s incarnation’s self-destruction was basically activating all of the divine power and Divine Concept contained within an incarnation As an attack, it would far surpass even the attacks used by the True God’sone’s divine power gathered overhow much power of faith and the portion of the divine soul that the True God would lose, its destructive poould be truly fearso, a True God’s incarnation’s self-destruction would not only be h to kill a similar level incarnation, but it would even be possible to kill a True God’s main body This was also why numerous Gods’ incarnations could walk the ht each other All Gods were capable of self-destructing their incarnations, which would end in a lose-lose scenario for both sides

However, the maxim about how a True God’s incarnation’s self-destruction would absolutely kill the opponent was now broken by this opponent

“…He’s still not dead, even like this?”

The Thunder titan Giant had lost half his body, including his entire right arht side of his face, giving hi appearance Meanwhile, the reround was perhaps the explanation behind how he had ed to survive

In that moment, with just a short instant to react, he had transformed all his power of thunder into a physical shi+eld which he used to block the force of the self-destruction to protect his core

“False Gods, is that still the only technique you know, even after all these years? If I was in my physical body, such a weak and powerless attack wouldn’t even make me bleed”

A True God’s incarnation’s self-destruction wouldn’t be that easy to take It would probably be impossible for this titan Giant to recover within any short period of tih he was so seriously injured, he was still laughing loudly, as if he was the true victor

Perhaps he could indeed be termed the victor as he was able to force a True God to self-destruct—and survived
