Chapter 1051 - Contrast Deity Warden (1/2)

“Contrast Deity Warden?”

Rhode asked, his eyes twitching slightly as this unknown title sounded really powerful. He knew that Christie was the ‘Fate Deity Warden’, Marlene was the ‘Wisdom Deity Warden’, and Alice was the ‘History Deity Warden’. He had to admit that these three Deity Wardens were sufficient to show how mighty the Void Dragon was back then. It wasn’t surprising that they were able to dominate the entire continent. As for the ‘Contrast Deity Warden’, she most likely wouldn’t be an easy one to deal with either.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Alice nodded and continued to explain.

“You should also be aware that the six Deity Wardens were created by the former Void Dragon for the sake of protecting the Order of this world. We were each given six responsibilities: Christie was in charge of creating destiny, Margaret was responsible for recording rules, while I took charge of protecting the past. On the other hand, Cassidy’s responsibility was to contrast all things, just like how the land exists due to the sky, darkness exists whenever there is light; everything is born in contrast. This was the most crucial foundation as for how the world of Order exists. Also, Cassidy is extremely powerful. In her hands, she can turn everything into its contrasting form: water and fire, kindness and evil, life and death. Among the six Deity Wardens, she was ranked second in battle strength, just below Her Highness Christie.”

“In other words, you and Marlene can’t defeat her?”

Rhode finally understood why Alice wanted him to take on Cassidy alone. However, he still felt dubious. Marlene and Alice were powerful beings, and yet they couldn’t defeat Cassidy? They were Deity Wardens, so the difference in strength shouldn’t be that huge… As though seeing through Rhode’s doubt, Marlene forced a smile and replied.

“Rhode, you may not be aware, but the original intention of creating us Deity Warden, isn’t for us to only become the Creator Dragons’ dependents. We were created by the former Void Dragon to protect the world against Chaos. The ultimate goal of our strength isn’t for battle, but to continue the existence of Order. Due to this reason, although we are powerful, on a certain level our battle strength isn’t proportional. Honestly, Her Highness Alice and I are at the bottom in terms of battle strength, while the strongest ones are Her Highness Christie, the ‘Fate Deity Warden’, and Her Highness Cassidy, the ‘Contrast Deity Warden’.”

“I see.”

Rhode nodded to Marlene. He finally understood the so-called division of labor between the six Deity Wardens. Unlike the four legendary generals and three archangels who were high-level ‘hired thugs’, the Deity Wardens’ most important job was to maintain Order. Taking online games in Rhode’s original world, for instance, the six Deity Wardens were the ones who performed program maintenance, which was on a totally different level from the three archangels and four legendary generals regardless of who was stronger. No matter how domineering the four legendary generals were in the game, as long as the programmer disliked them, he or she could remove them entirely in a few commands. This was the difference in level. But on the same level, it was an entirely different matter.

Just like elephants and dinosaurs could squash an ant, but it didn’t mean that their battle could result in a draw.

Shortly after, Rhode thought of another question.

“Can’t Christie do it?”

According to them, Christie was fully deserving of being the strongest and Rhode had also witnessed it inside Alice’s ‘Historical Tracing’. Back then, Christie truly gave him a domineering presence as though ‘the world was within the control of her hands’, while the remaining five Deity Wardens nodded obediently to whatever she said. That said, Rhode didn’t see any dominance from these two Christies…

“It isn’t impossible, but… Her Highness Christie is currently in the Astral Temple. If we rely on the princess only, it will be too risky. After all, the princess can’t maintain the ‘strength of fate’ for too long and won’t be able to defeat Cassidy. If Helen is here, perhaps there’s still a chance to turn the situation around…”

“Who’s that?”

Rhode didn’t stop Alice when she mentioned Christie as the ‘princess’. Ever since Karin started calling Christie that, basically everyone followed suit. In fact, in terms of identity and blood relation, she was indeed suitable for this title, which was why Rhode wasn’t mindful about it. On the other hand, he was more curious about the other name that Alice mentioned. Upon hearing his doubt, Alice paused for a moment before explaining to him.

“She’s one of the Deity Wardens and our companions, the ‘Presence Deity Warden’, Helen. She can give form to all imaginary things and also eliminate the reality of these beings, turning them non-existent. All along, she was the one who coordinated with Her Highness Christie in protecting the continent. But it was a pity that…”

As expected, none of the Deity Wardens were normal; they were all insanely powerful.

‘Presence Deity Warden’? A title with such a high-end feel to it is on a totally different level than the unknown ‘Contrast Deity Warden’ of Cassidy. But there is no point in thinking about the ‘Presence Deity Warden’ anymore. I’m better off handling this problem in front of me first… W-Wait!

Rhode’s eyes glinted at this thought as he suddenly thought of something. He lifted his head quickly, looked at Alice and Marlene, and asked.

“Since the ‘Contrast Deity Warden’ can transform all contrasting matters, in other words… she can turn Order into Chaos and Chaos into Order?”

“You’re right about that, Your Majesty.”

Holy!

Rhode shrieked in his head after hearing the confirmation from Alice. No wonder Alice and Marlene mentioned that they couldn’t stop Cassidy. A Deity Warden who could transform Order into Chaos was too insane. Even though they were all Deity Wardens, Alice’s and Marlene’s strength relied on Order. If they were to take on Cassidy together, Cassidy could immediately transform Order into Chaos and perhaps even if they possessed heavenly powers, they could only stare helplessly and do nothing. It was due to this that they chose not to attack. On the other hand, in order to deal with Cassidy, they needed a being who could create Order, which was why they brought up Christie and Helen.
