Chapter 468
The Tribulations of Attaining Enlightenment
Given such a grudge, how could He not be proactive?
Now, naturally, I want to be the first to go up and see that bastard Louis.
Seeing this, Nidhogg was naturally indifferent, even happy that someone was willing to be the first to step forward, while Typhon's eyes flickered, and after a two-second silence, he also stepped aside.
Three gods and beasts from the old era sped toward the moon.
Such a big movement.
It was impossible not to alarm Louis.
The lunar world.
Louis, embodying the heavens and earth, felt the moon's "breath" and instinctively sensed a threat approaching.
With the Moon's current control over the surrounding space, the arrival of the three, including Cronus, was easily detected.
finally come……
Louis's gaze was fixed intently on the three, especially Typhon, the King of All Demons. He could sense that the biggest challenge in his tribulation to attain enlightenment lay with this guy.
It is an enemy that blocks its own path!
At the same time, Louis's consciousness also noticed Nidhogg and Cronus.
Nidhogg's appearance is very similar to Typhon's, and it can be recognized at a glance. This legendary dragon, which joined forces with other evil beasts to bring Ragnarok to the Norse pantheon, is not to be underestimated. Although its strength is unknown, it can come together with Typhon, so it must be quite formidable.
And then there's my old friend Cronus. I'm quite familiar with him, after all, he's tricked my little one twice, so it's hard not to know him.
In my memory, he appears to be a generous and forthright person, but in reality, he harbors ulterior motives and is outwardly righteous but inwardly treacherous.
His strength... while it may not be that of a God-King, it is no less than that of a top-tier demon god in Hell, and may even be at the pseudo-God-King level, equivalent to a pseudo-Demon King.
Tsk.
Three people, who are very likely to be pseudo-god kings or even have reached the god king level, have appeared and come to besiege me like this?
Behind this, it seems only one entity could have done it...
Louis's consciousness flickered. Based on his previous experiences of being spied on multiple times, he already knew who it was. Although he didn't understand when he had offended the other party, which led to such a large-scale attack, it was too late to think about such things now.
I'll remember this grudge!
The situation is more powerful than people's, so let's wait and see.
We'll settle the score with Him properly later!
As for now...
Louis's consciousness continued to sink into the moon.
Knowing full well that enemies would appear, how could we not be prepared? Let them come.
……
outside.
The three began to realize something was wrong. Given their flight speed, they should have already reached the moon. How could they not have made it there yet?
“There’s a special spatial fold here; a large hidden space lies within. If we keep flying like this, we won’t reach the moon,” Typhon said. (Similar to a quantum state)
"Such a large-scale spatial folding, the new god, this guy is indeed quite capable."
"How to do?"
Typhon looked at Cronus. Since Cronus was so eager to be number one, it was now up to Typhon to come up with a solution.
Kronos didn't waste any words. He simply took out his scythe, the power of harvesting and the power of time subtly fluctuating on it. As a former God-King, he could only reach the level of a pseudo-God-King by wielding this divine weapon, which he had modified over many years when he was God-King. Otherwise, he would only be at the level of a chief god.
The fact that this artifact could elevate a main god to a pseudo-god-king suggests a connection between the two, but its power is undeniable. Now, he is going to use this weapon to teach Louis a lesson he will never forget!
Cronus's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he swung his sword fiercely.
Wow! ! !
The sword flashed away.
The black scythe slices through the black "curtain," and the starry sky representing the universe... cracks open at this moment!
A huge crack appeared from it.
A special space folds and shatters!
boom!
Like a shattered mirror.
The space in front of them suddenly fluctuated, revealing its true appearance—the starry sky of the lunar world. However, at the same time, the three of them were also disturbed. By the time they entered the lunar starry sky, they had been forced to separate and scattered in different locations within the lunar starry sky.
But that's not the key point; what's truly shocking them now is the scene before them.
Here... there is a vast, boundless starry sky!
Among the many lifeless planets and moons, at the very center stands an enormous white planet!
Even on that planet in the courtyard, Kronos could sense the vigorous life force and the high level of power within it.
Although it is not as advanced as Earth in ancient times, it is still far more advanced than Earth is today.
When did the moon become like this?
This is practically a special secret realm, just like paradise!
No! It's a special world!
Heaven is a part of this universe that was carved out and transformed into an independent world.
And now, the moon in front of us seems to be the same, except that it doesn't seem to have directly removed a part of the universe, but rather it has been invaded and then spatially superimposed through some means (equivalent to shrinking a large area of controlled space and then overlapping it with the outside space, so that the moon looks basically unchanged from the outside, but in reality, it can never get close to the real moon), and nominally it should still belong to this universe.
"What remarkable methods, new god, Louis," Cronus murmured to himself.
The strange sight before him made it obvious that Louis was responsible, especially since he sensed a familiar aura emanating from that enormous moon.
That's... the Bottle of Life!
Cronus's cheek twitched.
Being deceived twice in a row, as if being played with a fool, made Cronus feel deeply ashamed. His hatred for Louis was second only to that for his father Uranus, who had oppressed him, and Zeus, who had overthrown him!
"Louis! You liar!! Get out here!!!"
The deafening roar echoed throughout the surrounding area, yet the immense tremors couldn't reach the moon at all, demonstrating just how much of the cosmos the moon had swallowed...
Cronus gripped his scythe tightly, using its power of time to accelerate time within himself.
Whoosh whoosh—
As time accelerated, Cronus's body began to move in an abstract way.
Just a few seconds later, Cronus arrived at the moon.
No longer the God-King, he can only barely manipulate time by borrowing divine artifacts. He no longer has the ability to manipulate timelines, and even the number of observable timelines is very small. However, he still has no problem using time for himself.
Looking at the enormous planet and the still empty, deserted starry sky, Cronus was furious.
He was never a good-tempered god to begin with, and without waiting for the other two, he immediately started venting his anger.
He swung his scythe fiercely, unleashing a series of extremely sharp slashes, powerful enough to cleave continents or even pierce the earth's core, forming a barrage of slashes resembling a bullet screen.
This is the scene after the unrestricted pseudo-god king fully unleashed his power, far surpassing the Balcobi who was restricted and could only launch one attack at a time.
A barrage of slashing blades flew in.
Above the moon, a thin, dark purple membrane enveloped everything. The slashes were like mud oxen entering the sea, only causing ripples on the membrane before being completely blocked.
It appears to be completely unharmed.
Louis, who was deeply integrated with the moon, was not surprised by this scene.
It's important to understand that the moon today is not the same moon it used to be. The moon today is a world that is constantly growing stronger, bearing the fruits of Louis's Way and Reason, and it is still developing and expanding every moment.
Its power could not be easily shaken by Cronus's attack. Seeing this, Cronus became even more frenzied, abandoning his ranged attacks and charging straight at the enemy.
Dang! ! !
The black scythe collided with the dark purple membrane.
There were no sparks, no fluctuations of power, nothing at all, just like the battle between Louis and Baal. Thermal annihilation... had begun.
……
Inside the moon.
Louis's consciousness, deeply integrated with the moon, frowned slightly.
He felt a sharp pain, as if someone had stabbed him hard in the chest with a needle. Although the injury was minor, it was still very painful.
This is……
Louis thought about it for a moment and then understood.
The lunar world is his own Dao Fruit, and naturally includes this lunar starry sky. Ordinary attacks, even those that shatter space, are harmless to the world, but attacks from pseudo-god kings/pseudo-demon kings and above are different.
Just like the battle with Baal back then.
Attacks at this level and above are incredibly powerful, exceeding all expectations, and could easily cause real damage to the world.
When he fought with Baal and others, didn't he completely destroy a part of the universe and enter a state of thermal extinction?
This angered the world, leading to the temporary revocation of some of his divine authority.
Now, the damage that Kronos is inflicting on the lunar world is real, and Louis, who is deeply merging with the lunar world, will naturally feel the pain.
And that's not all.
The key point is that this will affect your chance to become an immortal!
If the moon itself is severely damaged, then his attempt to become an immortal will inevitably fail!
Although the pseudo-god-king level has limited damage and is not enough to cause Louis this kind of damage, don't forget that it wasn't just Kronos who came to attack him this time!
And there's Typhon and Nidhogg too!
Louis frowned.
"No, I have to get rid of them all as soon as possible, otherwise, they will ruin my plans."
At this moment.
Louis's brow twitched, sensing something even worse—no, not just one, but two!
After sensing it for a moment, Louis's consciousness darkened. "Nidhogg... the Corruption Domain... it's a large-scale negative influence, it can even invade the world? No wonder he was able to bite through the World Tree as Loki's son, it must have been corrupted for thousands of years..."
"Typhon, as you get closer to the moon, your strength is increasing rapidly. In just a short time, you have already reached the level of a top-tier demon god. The pseudo-demon king is not the end, and you may even reach the demon king level... No wonder you are my obstacle."
Both of these posed a threat to him.
Nidhogg is a malignant tumor and must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the more it will weaken, and it may even affect his deep integration with the moon.
Typhon is the strongest enemy.
Perhaps the final step to becoming an immortal is to fight it when it reaches the level of a demon king...
Fortunately, they didn't gather together to launch a concentrated attack. Fortunately, they were not of one mind and had no sense of unity.
This gave them the opportunity to defeat the enemy one by one.
Let's deal with Cronus first.
Deep in the moon.
Three beams of black and white divine light, which had been brewing for a long time, were making their final preparations, gathering their last bit of power, and poised to unleash their power.
And outside.
Apart from Cronus.
The other two guys also started making their moves.
After falling into the lunar sky.
Upon discovering that he had separated from the other two, Nidhogg did not rush to the moon in the center. Instead, he coiled up on the spot, turning his massive body into a black sphere.
Then, wisps of black power began to emanate from its body, seeping into the space and spreading in all directions.
These dark forces are ubiquitous and insidious.
It's like a diluted paraquat being poured onto farmland, slowly corroding and eroding the vitality of this place, even more eerily than that.
It is transforming the environment, gradually altering and weakening it from its very core.
It's like a malignant tumor.
As Loki's son, its strength is actually average; it is only through this talent that it ranks first among the three great beasts and manages to gnaw through the World Tree.
This newborn lunar world, it could sense that although it was very strong and had great potential, it had a feeling somewhat like the ancient Earth. But it was precisely because of this that its immaturity and vitality seemed so delicious and palatable.
Nidhogg licked his lips, his eyes filled with destructive desire and a hint of greed.
It can't wait to destroy such a promising new world!
If it could, it would also like to taste the moon and see how it compares to the World Tree, and whether it would taste different.
But now is not the time.
It is well aware of its own strength. If it wants to savor the delicious food and satisfy its destructive desires, it can only wait until the opponent is weakened beyond recognition.
He's very experienced in this kind of thing, just like back then, he does it with ease.
With this thought, Nidhogg's physical presence gradually disappeared, and from the outside, he could no longer be seen at all!
Meanwhile, that hidden black power continued to surge wildly in all directions, infecting, eroding, and corroding!
……
Compared to Cronus and Nidhogg, who had already begun attacking and weakening their territories, Typhon was the most unfortunate.
It doesn't have the time acceleration movement of Kronos, nor the functional buff damage of Nidhogg.
Instead, they are reckless brutes who rely entirely on force and pressure.
If there were a divine enemy in front of it, it would be fine; it could simply increase its strength and speed dramatically, which would be more than enough.
but now.
They were too far from Louis, there was no enemy to fight, and they couldn't sense the divinity.
Therefore, if it wants to get closer to the moon, it can only move by its own speed.
Fortunately, as it flew closer to the moon, it sensed the faint divine presence, and its strength began to increase step by step, naturally leading to a faster speed, forming a cycle. (End of Chapter)
