Chapter 829 Opening the DoorIt seemed that the battle at Bardi was nearing its end as the Chaos Gods died.
The core of the battlefield was still a certain God enveloped in endless Holy Light. However, he now seemed far more disheveled than earlier.
His previously blinding Holy Light was rather dim now. Karolan had used a great deal of divine power in order to defend against the Chaos Gods’ self-destructions.
The God of Holy Light’s Main God-level incarnations kept dying off, causing Karolan to lose thousands and thousands of years of accumulated divine power and power of belief. Finally, his face concealed by Holy Light was revealed for all to see.
Karolan had blonde hair, blue eyes, a handsome visage, and even a milky-smooth facial skin, yet he was cold and expressionless, with not even a single trace of emotion. Maybe some women would really like his appearance, but his face no longer remaining concealed by Holy Light was evidence of his weakness.
“…Finally, the God of Holy Light is no longer undefeatable.”
As the old phrase went, the enemy of an enemy would be a friend. It was quite easy to obtain friendship when there was a mutual enemy, but once the mutual enemy disappeared, it would be quite easy for the friends to then turn on each other.
The Nature Faction and other such neutral God Factions would all want more power for themselves and to become the ruling God Faction of the gigantic mortal plane. Not to mention, there were plenty of powerful ancient existences from the Chaos Abyss who were waiting for an opportunity and watching this battle.
The will of the Chaos Abyss was unable to control Chaos Main Gods. Cynthia’s relationship with the Chaos Main Gods was similar to that of an employer with mercenaries. The unfortunate Donatis, Sophocles who voluntarily attacked, and the inexperienced Karwenz were the only ones that Cynthia could control. Among the uncontrollable Main God-level existences were numerous ancient existences whose names and past achievements had long since been forgotten by ordinary people.
Most of these ancient existences were those who had lost in past Holy Wars. Some were previously venerated heroes, some were lucky surviving Gods of a species that had been eliminated from history, and there were even some who wanted a peaceful retirement, or were simply tired of the Holy War. However, there were definitely those who still had ambitions concerning the mortal plane, so they were waiting in the shadows for a chance of their own.
These ancient existences hadn’t taken action in previous Holy Wars due to the existence of the will of the Chaos Abyss, and also because it would be impossible for them to become the final victor of the Holy War without any tribe of their own. But now, the will of the Chaos Abyss had disappeared, and all restrictions had been lifted. It seemed that it was time for them to return to the mortal plane, but…
The Holy Light was far too much of an obstacle.
The God of Holy Light was the strongest Main God who was an undefeatable existence that no other Main God could possibly resist.
The God of Holy Light’s pure divine power server had reached the pinnacle of power in the entire Eich universe. The undefeatable God of Holy Light was more than enough to strike fear into the heart of any powerful existence who had ambitions regarding the mortal plane.
The Chaos Faction’s overall power level was several times stronger than that of the Order Faction. This was the fact that everyone knew. As long as a sufficient number of Chaos Main Gods teamed up for an invasion, then even the God of Holy Light would definitely be defeated… but of course, the invading Chaos Main Gods would also die to the God of Holy Light.
The result was that none of the Chaos Main Gods were willing to sacrifice themselves, which meant that none of them started an invasion. This was all because of the God of Holy Light’s existence.
I knew this as well. I had tried to weaken the God of Holy Light in order to create an opportunity for the Hell Faction, but I had also carefully controlled how much I weakened him by. There were multiple critical decision points where I had refrained from weakening him.
I knew that it was highly important for the mortal plane that the God of Holy Light remained alive and powerful until the Hell Faction and Nature Faction truly took over the Holy Light Faction’s territory.
But now, thanks to Karwenz’s final plan, everything had changed.
Perhaps the God of Holy Light hadn’t been weakened significantly, and perhaps he was still the strongest Main God in the world. However, he had already exposed his weakness in front of everyone, showing that he was no longer undefeatable.
The wolves who used to fear him would now view him as weak prey. They wouldn’t give him any time to rest and recover.
Additionally, the God of Holy Light’s current allies were also hatching their own schemes behind his back. Perhaps it was time for their old grudges to be calculated now that the mutual enemy had been eliminated.
In a way, the Chaos Faction was far more proactive than the Order Faction. Maybe it was a lot more difficult for the Chaos Faction to form solid alliances, but the Chaos Faction would always unhesitatingly go all out if an opportunity presented itself.
“One, two… five. Normally they can’t be seen anywhere, but all of them have now jumped out of the woodwork.”
“Reyne” was counting the number of Chaos Main God-level existences who were currently on the battlefield or about to enter the battlefield.
This battle wasn’t over. Chaotic domains kept opening as originally closed Dimensional Doors in the Chaos Abyss were forcefully opened. Powerful existences of Chaos were all focusing their attention on this location. This time, their target was the big ball of Holy Light who had showed some sign of weakness rather than Karwenz.
The most frightening part about any powerful enemy would always be the unknown. Once the God of Holy Light lost his barrier of Holy Light concealment and showed his true appearance, he instantly went from predator to prey.
All of this had been due to “Reyne’s” decision.
“Reyne” had just woken up from a deep sleep in the captain’s office of the Borealis flagship of the Mist Kingdom’s airship squadron when she met with a legendary kabedon.
“My dear younger brother, where did you intend on going…?”
Karwenz didn’t answer my question. Instead, he laughed out loud upon seeing my feminine face which carried an expression of icy rage.
“Haha, Roland, I never expected that you had the hobby of dressing in female clothing and becoming a loli—”
There was a bright explosion as something powerful shot out from the loli’s dark and thick tube. Karwenz’s insult was interrupted as he was forced to swallow the rest of his words.
Glina Mist, my most outstanding disciple that I was the proudest of. I had previously used my own bloodline to replace hers, meaning that she basically had a weaker version of my Arbiter Bloodline.
Glina’s power level had already reached SemiGod several years ago. She was a highly skilled jack of all trades. Her combat techniques and experience were outstanding. Her incredible knowledge of engineering was a great support for her in combat. Her war puppets and explosives were at the peak of the world.
Reyne Mist had a bloodline of Chaos. She was originally a Chaos Knight whose primary way of fighting was to summon demons. Additionally, she often slacked off on cultivating her power level… It would be praising her to say that her power level was a mystery. The truth was that her power level was only average.
My power level was very similar to Karwenz’s before he took over his descendent Reyne and I used God’s Descent on Glina, but when it came to single combat, Glina was more than powerful enough to defeat 10 Reynes simultaneously.
If the “pilots” had very similar skill levels, then the “mecha’s” stats would become the most critical part to determine victory. Maybe Reyne appeared to be a far more outstanding warrior than Glina, but Glina had fought hard for everything ever since young, and had long since reached the peak of the world.
Even worse for Reyne was that she was someone who used the power of Chaos. She was borrowing her strength from another, and the person she was borrowing power from, her ancestor Karwenz, had died. This would obviously cause a significant decrease in her power level.
This was just like how a True God’s priest would become completely useless after that God died.
Additionally, Reyne was definitely fighting back against Karwenz’s will that had taken over her body, while Glina was completely cooperating with me. All of these advantages accrued to give me a tremendous advantage in power level over Karwenz.
“You have no chance of victory. Voluntarily leave Reyne’s body and I’ll only seal you away for 500 years. Otherwise…”
This was no empty threat. There was an obvious power level difference between the two hosts we were in. Karwenz realized himself that he couldn’t possibly win when he felt how weak his host body was. He now regretted that he hadn’t been stricter with Reyne on cultivating more instead of letting her rest all she wanted. She had been relying far too much on only the power of Chaos.
“…Is this the end?”
Karwenz was hesitating since he felt that it was a pity, but what he felt the most was displeasure that his game had ended earlier than he expected.
Mentioning a third door earlier was only a lie in order to try and shake Roland. At this point, it seemed that everything could only end like this. Perhaps it would be better to admit defeat in order to save face. If the end result was already predetermined, it wouldn’t look very good to get beaten up before being sealed.
*Click!*
But at this moment, the entire world shook as something seemed to secretly changed. It felt as if a certain door had just been opened.
The two brothers/sisters exchanged glances in the small captain’s room of the Borealis. Both of them paused in surprise as this was completely unexpected for both. What exactly had happened just now?
“The door was opened?”
“The door was opened.”
Roland and Karwenz then simultaneously realized who must have opened the door to the dimensional barrier.
“I should have hardened my heart and killed her, even if she was Harloys’ father before… Didina!!!”
“Ha, don’t cry over spilled milk. You couldn’t have possibly done such a thing. You wouldn’t even have been able to activate that ‘Law Sword’ thing of yours without a neutral witness, right? You wouldn’t have possibly defeated me without that little sword of yours.”
Indeed, the only possible explanation was that Didina had opened the door to the dimensional barrier.
At this moment, Didina, the former Gold Elf Emperor, as well as a Chaos Girl, and the only survivor in the lowest level of the Chaos Abyss, had just opened the door to the dimensional barrier.
