Chapter 725 - Ultimate True God, the Pioneer of the Era of Gods (1) (2/2)

Seeing this, the Ruler of Light and Darkness was silent for a minute. He obviously knew that Link and Eliard were good friends. Eleven years later, Eliard would also light the Divine Fire. Judging from the light, he wasn’t as strong as Link, but he was still a god. If he joined the fight, the Ruler’s chances of winning would be reduced to almost nothing.

“And look here.” Link took the Ruler of Light and Darkness to the other end of Firuman. There was a Beastman. He’d been practicing in the yard, but he looked up at the sky when the new sun rose.

After just one glance, the Ruler of Light and Darkness said, “This Beastman also has a mighty glow. It seems that he will also become a god in the future.”

It was Avatar, the Glorious Warlord.

The divine light showed his nature. The Ruler of Light and Darkness knew that if this Beastman became a god, he would definitely be Link’s ally. If he faced three true gods, he would be lucky if he could even escape.

“And look at this one.” Link didn’t stop. He took the Ruler’s mind to a woman with dark blue hair.

When the new sun rose, she wasn’t surprised at all. She just looked up and smiled as if she’d predicted this. Then she disappeared and continued playing with her blue magic fire gun. A few magic tigers were playing in the forest not so far away.

It was Celine Flandre.

The Ruler of Light and Darkness looked and sighed. “I’ve been trying to bring this daughter back, but I never succeeded… My daughter is your ally too.”

She should’ve been his biggest help, but she’d ended up as his enemy’s biggest ally. This was unbelievable.

Here, he’d almost given up on approaching Firuman. What he was thinking now was where he should hide to avoid all these gods.

“Don’t go so fast. It’s not over.” Link laughed. He could sense the ruler’s thoughts. A big opening had appeared in his will.

Even if he didn’t have these future allies, he still had a chance to defeat the Ruler of Light and Darkness.

The Ruler had already started retreating. “I’ve given up. Goodbye, Lord of Ferde. I hope your allies won’t become your enemy… Oh, wait!”

He realized he’d skipped something critical. “Wait, even if you can have these true gods help you in the future, their power is still power. It won’t come out of nowhere. The Firuman Realm can’t withstand so many gods. It will collapse! Even if they come to the Sea of Void to absorb power, it’ll still take time. You can’t make it in time!”

The Ruler of Light and Darkness laughed heartily. “Link, you almost got me. Indeed, if I’d left, these mortals would become gods in the future. But if I defeat you, their light will extinguish! You are the pioneer of the Era of Gods. If I kill you, I will end it before it begins.”

He started speeding towards Firuman again.

Link also laughed. “Yes, you’re right. I will start the Era of Gods. Every existence in the world has a chance to become a god. They can’t become gods at the same time, but their knowledge and experience can all be used by me! Ruler of Light and Darkness, you’ve lived for countless years and have seen countless things, but you only have yourself. On the other hand, I will have the knowledge of countless gods.”

As he spoke, countless images appeared around him. They were the people who would become true gods in the future. They appeared and stood behind him in the hundreds.

These hundreds of images all bowed to Link. This was their respect for the pioneer as well as anticipation. They would give their knowledge, experience, and techniques to Link so he could defeat this horrible enemy and start a new era.

Link also bowed to them. Then these images buried into his body.

When Link finally straightened, his glow started dimming. It wasn’t that he was weakening. Instead, his control over the power was increasing.

Finally, Link collected all the light. At a glance, he was no different from a mortal. The only uniqueness was in his eyes. The black pupil was gone. Instead, he had two spinning galaxies that contained boundless wisdom.

Then Link gripped his sword, pouring his power in.

Clang. The Ode of a Full Moon sang brightly and then went silent. The only strangeness was that slivers of light streamed out of the cracks in the sheath.

Now, Link’s power was at an indescribable level.

Now, his sword was ready to kill a god!

He gazed at the Ruler of Light and Darkness, looking down as if he was the judge from the heavens.

“Do you choose life or death?”
