Chapter 1143 - The Choice after 65 Million Years (2/2)
“But what’s with that Chaos Creature at the end? Did you seal it within the palace? Why didn’t you eliminate it instead? With your powers as the Presence Deity Warden, don’t you have the strength to defeat it?”
“Agios of Chaos is a tough one to deal, compared to the rest of Chaos. If I were in the Dragon Soul Continent, I would have a hundred methods to eliminate it. But it is a pity that I can’t do it here. Heir of the Void Dragon, Chaos and Order are merged as one in this world and the enemies have already merged into Chaos of this world. Therefore, if I wish to eliminate it, it would mean that the Order of this world will also be destroyed by me. At least from what I sense, the strength of Order is slightly stronger than Chaos in this world. As long as the presence of Order is maintained, we can subdue the power of Chaos. But if I destroy the Order of this world, Chaos will most likely regain control and threaten the Dragon Soul Continent… I will never allow that to happen.”
“In that case…”
“I’ve sealed it up using my body as the core. I know why you’re here, heir of the Void Dragon. I sense the energy waves of the Door of Akasha from you. Even though I don’t know how you did it, there is no doubt that you’ve done it. But I regret to tell you that you can’t awaken my original self. Besides, I will not let it happen, nor hand the Akashic Key to you.”
After hearing her words, Rhode twitched his brows. But he quickly understood what she meant. This was the main reason why Marybelle disintegrated the Door of Akasha after the mission failed. And now, if Rhode tried to awaken Marybelle, it meant that the Chaos Creature that she sealed would also revive alongside her. In this case where Marybelle couldn’t possibly eliminate it, Rhode would only be repeating the entire process even if he retrieved the Akashic Key and opened up the channel. Besides, the situation would turn out even more complicated than before since there were no humans on Earth back then…
“What should we do…?”
“I will not be awakened unless you defeat Agios of Chaos.”
Along with this sentence, Marybelle’s presence became fuzzy and the dense white mist began to disperse. Shortly after, Rhode suddenly found himself back where he came from as Lydia, Erin, and the others surrounded and gazed at him curiously.
“Your Majesty Rhode, what exactly happened?”
Upon hearing Lydia’s question, Rhode gazed at the people around him and let out a sigh.
“It’s a long story…”
Even though he said that, he made use of time and swiftly narrated the entire situation to them. After hearing his explanations, not only were Lydia and Erin bewildered, but Mini Bubble Gum and Canary were also dumbfounded. After all, they were born on Earth and understood its history to a certain extent.
“Alright, Leader. Now we finally know who’s the main culprit behind the dinosaurs’ extinction. Even though it doesn’t sound logical, it is much better than the theory of a meteorite crashing onto Earth. But no matter what the truth is, it doesn’t affect me anyways. But I still have to thank her. If it weren’t for her, perhaps humans may not have evolved to this stage.”
After hearing Rhode’s words, Mini Bubble Gum shrugged.
“What should we do next? Didn’t that deity warden say we can’t awaken her unless we defeat that ‘Agios of Chaos’ fella? If we can’t awaken her, we won’t get the Akashic Key. Without the key, we can’t return to the Dragon Soul Continent. It seems like our only way is to defeat that Chaos Creature?”
At that moment, Canary knitted her brows and sounded her opinion.
“But… Rhode also said that Order and Chaos in this world are merged. If we cause Order to crumple after eliminating the Chaos Creature, nothing good would come out of it, surely. Perhaps Chaos might turn out even stronger than Order when that happens and we will have a harder time dealing with this issue. Besides, it may also affect Earth… but before that, we have a more important question. Will we be able to eliminate it using our power?”
“That’s no problem at all.”
After some serious considerations about the strength of that Chaos Creature, Rhode nodded confidently. At least from what he witnessed, that Chaos Creature seemed to be most adept at infiltrating and manipulating undead creatures. Fortunately, Rhode didn’t have many undead creatures on his side. Even though Rhode’s strength was weakened, he was still at the peak of level 85. Moreover, as a Spirit Swordsman, he had a ton of holy sword cards in his arsenal. Apart from Shira who might possibly be manipulated by the Chaos Creature and couldn’t be used in battle, there shouldn’t be much problems with summoning the rest. Furthermore, with Mini Bubble Gum and Canary around, as well as the coordination of Lydia and Erin, there shouldn’t be too many issues. Even if it had the mighty strength of a lord, this was the only path they could take.
It would naturally be great news if they succeeded as not only would he gain another deity warden, but he would also receive a group of elites. According to Marybelle, the people sealed in the ice layer were still alive. They were all elite troops of the Void Dragon’s subordinate! If Rhode could bring them back, he could definitely strengthen the Void Territory in every aspect.
But how should they go about eliminating that Chaos Creature and avoid causing damage to Order and Earth?
Ordinary methods wouldn’t cut it. After all, Rhode hadn’t reached the height of the Void Dragon and the collapse of Order might lead to a chain reaction. That was why the best way was to separate their fusion, but that apparently wasn’t too possible. If not, Marybelle would have already done it. The other way was to send it to another space once again. However… If Rhode’s group was capable of doing that, they wouldn’t need the Door of Akasha in order to return home.
Just what exactly should we do?
While Rhode pondered hard, his younger sister who kept silent all this while suddenly spoke.
“Big Brother, I have a solution that can perhaps resolve this problem.”
“Oh?”
This piqued Rhode’s curiosity.
“What solution?”
“In fact, it isn’t that complicated. Even though you’ve left your dragon essence in the Dragon Soul Continent, you’re still the Void Dragon who holds the authority to open up space, after all. What we need to do isn’t to open up a new space, but grant independent authority to a space. Through this method, we can build a brand new space that has nothing to do with this world and toss it in entirely. But… you may need to make some sacrifices for it to work, Big Brother.”
“No worries. How should we go about doing it?”
“Simple.”
This time, his younger sister chuckled.
“Big Brother, you have a venue card, right?”
