Chapter 1184 [Chaotic Possession: The Ever-Changing Demon Lord Carlos, the Weaver of Fates] (Completed, gurgle~)
"Aaaaaah—!!"
“Scarlett, Saul… Joseph Garden… No, no, no—!!!”
The moment Odin's consciousness shattered completely amidst the whispers of chaos, the entire void trembled. He suddenly threw his head back and let out a scream that almost tore his soul apart. The sound no longer resembled that of a god-king, but rather that of an ancient beast driven to the brink of despair howling in the universe.
His single eye locked onto the three-headed, six-armed mechanical colossus in the distance. Blood and lightning mingled and flowed down his cheeks, and a hatred he had never felt before finally erupted in his throat.
"Hugh Abraham—!!!"
Odin's voice, filled with rage and despair, exploded within the great spirituality. He chose to heed the words of [Sinliezhi] and embrace the power of chaos.
He chose to unleash the power of chaos upon Hugh Abraham!
Now, his suffering surpasses that of all the gods!
"Hugh Abraham, do you think the Garden of Joseph will simply vanish?! Do you think the glory of the gods will end beneath your feet?! Listen carefully, Abraham—today, even if I sell my soul to Chaos and throw the crown of the King of Gods into the abyss, I will drag you down to hell with me!!!"
As the roar subsided, Odin's body finally began to undergo a complete transformation.
The World Tree expanded wildly behind him, its once majestic branches beginning to rot and twist. Countless roots, like tentacles crawling out of the abyss, lashed wildly in the void. Odin's body rapidly expanded within the distorted tree, his spine cracking, his shoulders tearing, and blue-black feathers growing from his body like a storm. The shadows of two ravens merged with his divinity, gradually twisting his body into a gigantic and deformed divine bird monster.
"Oh, even the World Tree Jinchūriki has appeared."
Inside the Son of God, Xia Xiu couldn't help but make a comment.
At this moment, Odin had completed the initial mutation. Two ferocious bird heads opened their sharp beaks at the necks, and when the huge wings spread out, they almost covered half of the battlefield. Runes of lightning and chaos flickered between the wings, and the single eye that once symbolized wisdom and kingship had now become an abyssal eye burning with black flames.
However, before the monster was fully formed, Xia Xiu inside the Son of God had already reacted.
"Tsk."
Xia Xiu's voice rang out softly from the control core inside the colossus. He looked at Odin, who was rapidly distorting, and sneered.
"Who has time to wait for you to finish transforming?"
The next instant, the three-headed, six-armed Son of God suddenly raised his right arm, and the [Sword of Abelio], burning with golden flames, dragged a huge arc of light in the void. The blade was already covered with the enchantment of the [Master Craftsman] high-orbit cannon, which was enlarged in shape. Terrifying energy was compressed and focused layer by layer on the surface of the blade, as if an entire array of orbital cannons had been forged into a sword.
【The End - Burning Heaven——】
"Stop here."
As Xia Xiu's voice fell, the Son of God swung his sword down.
That sword strike seemed to cleave the entire void in two, with golden railgun beams erupting along the blade's edge, the massive slash heading straight for Odin, who was still undergoing distortion.
However, just as the sword was about to fall...
The void suddenly fell silent for a moment.
A figure appeared silently between the two.
That was a throne.
A strange throne floating in the void.
And seated on the throne was a being with the body of a giant bird—[Xin Liezhi].
The Lord of Deception sat there casually, as if he had already watched the entire drama of the battle unfold. At this moment, he even lazily raised a hand to block the direction in which Xia Xiu swung his sword.
Raising my hand wasn't an apology, but rather a declaration that I absolutely must have this Odin Chaos Demon figurine!
next moment.
Bang--!!
The sword light collided head-on with His palm.
A terrifying shockwave exploded in the void, even blowing away the wreckage of nearby ships, and the railgun slash that was powerful enough to cleave the divine tree was actually blocked.
however--
Things did not go exactly as Xin Liezhi had predicted. His bird-like face, which had been carrying a calm smile, suddenly froze for a moment.
He seems to have overdone it with his pretentiousness.
He did block the sword, but He arrogantly used his own information to block it directly, without using any high-level power as a substitute.
Xia Xiu's sword strike... was really heavy.
He was arrogant and did not flash.
He forgot that Laura was now also a miracle standing at the pinnacle of the extraordinary...
A thin, long crack slowly appeared on His arm, and golden light and miraculous structures burned continuously in the wound, tearing open a layer of the structure of chaotic divinity.
Xin Liezhi looked down at his arm.
hiss!
It hurts a little... no, it hurts a lot!
However, don't panic. Even if it hurts, you have to endure it.
The problem isn't the injury.
The problem is, there are people watching over here.
So Xin Liezhi immediately straightened his body, and the bird's back regained its calm posture as if nothing had happened. Even the bird's face, which was originally twitching, was forcibly adjusted back to a calm and breezy expression. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the three-headed, six-armed son of god in the distance.
He was silent for a second.
Then, in an extremely calm tone, as if everything was under control, he said:
"this--"
He gently shook his feathers.
"It's all part of my plan."
The voice just fell.
He simply vanished.
Like a sudden curtain call on a stage, the throne, wings, and chaotic aura all vanished from the void in the same instant.
He chose to hang up the phone in the real world and go offline.
Of course, His departure was definitely because Odin had already completed his transformation, and the dramatic effect had been achieved.
It was definitely not because the sword wound was too painful.
It's not because I might not be able to hold on if I stand for a little longer.
Absolutely not!
Inside the Son of God, Xia Xiu looked at the empty void and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Tsk."
He actually saw it very clearly.
[Xin Liezhi] He did indeed take that Heaven-Burning Slash head-on, and he even used his own physical information to block it. From a tactical point of view, this was actually quite foolish...
The Lord of Deception's actions indeed had little to do with wisdom.
The thought that the dead bird was probably still grimacing and repairing its arm in some corner made Xia Xiu feel a little pleased.
However, his attention was quickly shifted away from Xin Liezhi.
Because at this moment, Odin, who has truly completed the transformation, is already standing in the void.
Or rather—
He doesn't look like Odin anymore.
It was a completely alienated being.
Huge blue-black wings unfurled in the void, two bird heads grew from the twisted spinal structure, and chaotic runes flowed faintly between the feathers. The thunderous aura that originally belonged to the God-King was replaced by some more ancient and bizarre power, making this monster look like a deity that crawled out from the depths of some otherworld.
However, what's strange is...
The monster did not continue its attack.
in contrast.
He slowly descended into the void.
Then--
He very politely straightened his wings.
Then, both bird heads lowered simultaneously.
He performed a standard, almost flawless, salute to the Son of God.
This scene even surprised Xia Xiu for a moment.
Then, the two bird heads spoke simultaneously, in an almost elegant tone:
"It is our honor to meet you here."
The two bird heads slightly raised, their dark pupils looking towards the chest of the Son of God.
"Carlos the Weaver of Fate pays his sincerest respects to the future Lord of Heaven."
Within the body of the Son of God.
Xia Xiu was silent for a second.
He did not respond immediately.
Because in that very instant, his [great spirituality] had given very clear feedback.
The thing in front of him wasn't here to fight. Or rather, it wouldn't fight him here. If it chose to escape, he probably couldn't stop it.
It's a very strange feeling.
It's like a script that's already been written in advance, and this scene is just a brief segment of it.
Xia Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the three mechanical heads of the Son of God slowly turned at the same time, looking at the polite chaotic being.
"Where has Odin gone?" he asked the two-headed bird in front of him.
"And—who are you?"
Upon hearing this question, the two bird heads clearly displayed different expressions.
The bird's head on the left suddenly became deep in its eyes, as if recalling a history that had already happened but had not yet happened. It slowly spread its wings, and its voice carried an eerie calmness.
“Since the future ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven has asked, I can naturally give the answer—although I cannot see the present moment, the answer has already been written in the future.”
It tilted its head slightly, as if listening to an echo that existed only in the depths of time, and then continued:
“My name is Carlos the Weaver of Fate, one of the Myriad Transformation Lords under the Great Lord of Change. Among the armies of Chaos, I am known as the Prophet of the Lord of Deception, because I am responsible for foreseeing the possibilities of the future and writing those fates that have not yet occurred into prophecies. In order to record these prophecies, my lord even specially arranged nine scribes for me, who record every word of the future that I say day and night.”
At this point, its voice suddenly took on a strange tone.
"As for why our Lord needs me, the prophet, it is because the great Lord of Change, though knowing everything in the past and present, has never been able to fully foresee the future, which makes Him extremely displeased. So He came to the Well of Eternity at the center of reality—the abyss well that leads to the infinite future—hoping to gain the ability to glimpse the future, but He obviously does not intend to jump down there himself."
It chuckled softly.
"So He threw down one after another the ever-changing demon lords."
The giant bird's wings trembled slightly.
“Many of the ever-changing demon lords disappeared at the bottom of the well and never returned, until I was thrown in... and then I climbed out.”
"But when I came out of the well, I had become extremely old, even insane, and had grown a second head. Since then, I have known everything about the past and the future, but I cannot see what is happening now. I can only speculate about the present reality based on the trajectory of the future."
It paused slightly.
Then it slowly raised one wing and pointed it at its own body.
"As for Odin."
"Not long ago, I needed a new body because my old body could no longer bear my prophecy. The great Lord of Deception was looking for a suitable host, so He chose a very good candidate for me."
Its eyes curved slightly.
"That person is Odin."
The words fell.
The other bird head suddenly laughed.
It was a much lighter, even slightly mocking laugh.
It shook its head slightly and spoke in a completely different tone:
"Oh dear, don't listen to how complicated it sounds. Things are actually not as dark as they seem."
The bird's head even elegantly preened its feathers.
“Odin has not disappeared. He has simply taken the gods of Joseph Garden to the immortal paradise. You should know that the souls of great gods like Thor and Heimdall are destined not to end on mortal battlefields, but to enter the eternal temple of the gods.”
It slightly raised its head.
His tone was exceptionally sincere.
"As for who I am? I am merely a form of Odin. The King of Gods awakened a higher level of power during the war, and thus manifested this new form. The fate of Joseph Garden is by no means destruction; on the contrary, it is merely a turning point in the long river of destiny."
It gently spread its wings.
"Believe me."
"The Garden of Joseph still exists."
Within the body of the Son of God.
Xia Xiu listened quietly to both answers.
then.
He couldn't help but laugh.
Because he knew it very well.
One of them was telling the truth, the other... was just spouting nonsense.
Inside the Son of God, Xia Xiu listened quietly to Carlos's two bird heads' reply. He didn't respond immediately, but leaned back in the control seat of the colossus core, tapping the control panel lightly with his fingertips, as if slowly digesting the complete yet chaotic information he had just received.
Because he had already vaguely grasped a pattern.
Carlos the Fate Weaver is indeed answering the question.
But His answer is never just one version.
One head tells the truth, while the other tells a relatively logical but completely nonsensical lie.
Moreover, he speculated that this mechanism has no fixed rules and will not always be one where the left side tells the truth and the right side tells lies. Instead, it changes constantly like rolling dice. If one does not carefully discern, it is easy to be led astray in a completely wrong direction from a seemingly reasonable narrative.
Xia Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"interesting."
So he decided to take a test.
The resonating mechanism inside the Son of God's chest vibrated slightly, and his voice spread through the great spirituality into the void.
"Then I'll ask another question."
He looked at the two-headed giant bird.
“Xin Liezhi just took a hit from me—is he completely unharmed now?”
This question has just been raised.
Carlos's two bird heads moved almost simultaneously.
The bird head on the left spoke first.
It slowly raised its head, its eyes filled with an almost fanatical devotion, and its wings unfolded as if it were reading a divine oracle on behalf of some great being.
"Of course it's perfectly intact."
Its voice became exceptionally solemn.
“You must understand one thing—the great master of the Way of Deception, the wielder of the Way of Change, the manipulator of the game of fate, Xin Liezhi is not someone who can be harmed by attacks of this level. Your attack just now may have looked impressive, but in the face of true chaotic power, it was nothing more than a slightly louder firework.”
The bird's head even slightly raised its chin.
His tone grew increasingly firm.
“Our Lord has already foreseen all possible futures. In His plan, every action has already been woven into the web of fate. Therefore, your so-called strike is just an insignificant variable on the chessboard. Not only did it not cause any harm, but it was also completely within His calculations.”
"in other words--"
"Your sword strike just now meant nothing to Him."
Okay, this time it's the bird head on the left talking nonsense.
The voice just fell.
The bird's head on the right couldn't help but tilt its head slightly.
Then he let out a very obvious, slightly mocking "ka-ka" laugh.
"Okay, okay, I don't think we need to act so mysterious."
It looked at Xia Xiu, its tone noticeably more relaxed.
"To tell you the truth—my lord did take a hit just now, and it was quite a solid one."
The bird's head even seemed to recall the scene from just moments ago.
"The matter is actually very simple. He originally intended to use a clone or some kind of projection to block it, but he probably felt that it wouldn't look cool enough, so he simply used his main body information to take your sword."
It twitched its wings.
"And then you saw the result. There was definitely an injury. Although it wasn't a major injury for Him, it was still embarrassing. My Lord also has a sense of pride... sometimes."
At this point, it suddenly lowered its voice, as if sharing a little secret.
"By the way—while our Lord can indeed foresee the future, sometimes His actions... how should I put it..."
The bird head thought about it carefully.
Finally, a very accurate evaluation was given.
"A bit confused."
It paused for a moment.
"real."
"That attack just now was completely unnecessary to take head-on. I've never quite understood why my Lord sometimes... has the advantage in my mysterious actions. Or perhaps, this is the price of supreme wisdom, which always leads Him to countless unnecessary... clever tricks?"
I understand. You're saying that Xin Liezhi is sometimes incredibly clever.
Yes, this two-headed bird is not only honest, but also has excellent emotional intelligence.
Xia Xiu gained a better understanding of Carlos's mechanics. This two-headed bird... is quite interesting. No wonder [Xin Liezhi] would go after Odin for this thing.
