Chapter 770: Chapter 617: Civil War of the God of Cause and Effect (Part 2)
What’s the point of fighting these Gods of Cause and Effect?
His goal has always been to let the lantern fish, hovering in the 900 light-year region, leap through the Dragon Gate like a carp.
Another 100 light years passed.
Wars broke out several more times, even leading the two Gods of Cause and Effect to personally come down, igniting a godly war.
It had a flavor reminiscent of old myths, making Fortuna recall the internal strife of the Goddess of Destiny in the past:
"Another new era has ascended, the Myth of Cause and Effect, coming towards us."
When the twelfth continent appeared, the entire world was built to perfection.
At this moment, it seemed as if it sounded the final bell for the Gods of Cause and Effect.
The final assault began.
...
The dense school of fish landed like sardines, filling the coastline.
"Kill!"
"This continent is ours, everything Xibo has done will be transformed into our wedding garment!"
No matter how he tested, Akusu found God unmoved.
In it, he felt a tinge of disdainful... pride.
He stood silently as if he didn’t care at all, looking down on the protagonist of this era’s myth.
"Can’t even make him step in?"
"Then, let’s decide the victor with Xibo first, gather all the divine power... surge in strength, and then go find God."
Akusu felt a hint of annoyance in his heart.
He is a god, and the Divine Object was acquired by himself.
But at his birth, a slight favor from God and Fortuna left him marked by God.
Under Xibo’s propaganda and slander, it seemed that all his efforts now were attributed to God, unintentionally birthing a seed of resentment in his heart.
Hatred without cause.
Rumbling.
The massive army began to clash.
Over this Chaos Planet, Xibo and Akusu appeared rapidly.
Xibo’s lips curled, "It seems you have much grievance against God. Clearly, he supported you, yet how can you be so ungrateful..."
"Oh, I’ve got it!" Xibo suddenly realized.
"Just like the Goddess of Destiny back then, we represent two different sides."
"You are the God of Deceitful Lies, I am the God of Benevolent Lies... My life has been honorable, helping countless others..."
"Courting death!" Centered on Akusu, countless forces of cause and effect began to gather, fiercely striking forward.
"Wait——"
"Say what you have to say to the dead." Akusu gave no chance for trash-talking, stepping forward, throwing a punch.
Xibo’s expression turned serious, gathering into a mighty torrent through countless telephone lines, "Wrath of All Beings!"
"Negation!" Lakesu didn’t believe this attack was real, thinking it was merely an empty display, turning what was real into false.
The attack penetrated through him.
Akusu dodged the attack, already charging to Xibo’s front, shattering Xibo’s figure with a punch.
Xibo was just a remnant instantly broken.
"The main body hides? I knew it, hiding and spreading rumors behind the scenes!" Akusu sneered coldly, "I’ll find you."
He swiftly traversed this planet of twelve continents with a few quick steps.
He soon dismantled buildings, with astonishing explosion sounds echoing, beginning the search for Xibo’s hiding place.
Xibo was no less relentless, seemingly continuing to make calls, launching remote attacks.
Just a few exchanges showed their distinct characteristics.
One an invincible close-combat gold body, negating any attack.
One a versatile long-range mage, gathering the power of countless followers, transforming into a long-ranged artillery.
"Escape, where can you jump to?"
Akusu darted across various regions of the continent, constantly attacking, rivers and seas being incessantly destroyed on this fresh new planet.
"This brand new planet can only have one master... and that’s me!"
...
"They’ve been fighting for three months."
Fortuna quietly observed the battle.
In today’s era, though myths continue to advance.
But God grows increasingly reluctant to concern Himself with the myth protagonists of the era, quietly watching as they vie for power and wrangle internally, each era rising and falling.
"It seems, the era of Myth of Cause and Effect will determine a winner..."
Fortuna observed silently.
God no longer focuses on these, His sights are set higher, on the lantern fish’s leap through the Dragon Gate.
"Hmm..." God glanced at the sky, continuing to lower his head, conducting the lantern fish’s calculations.
Indeed, His goal isn’t these two little guys.
The Cause and Effect Divine Object series, perhaps can be called the first.
But how could it withstand the attack of the countless Divine Objects around him?
These two Gods of Cause and Effect not bothering Him is good, bothering Him... He couldn’t care less, after all, He really doesn’t want to manage cause and effect.
The greatest arrogance is to ignore.
The greatest indifference is to not appear.
This Divine Object’s line of cause and effect... like Fortuna’s line of destiny, managing an era, the workload is too immense.
Leaving it to these two individuals is perfectly fine.
"Two small gods, no need to bother with them, just the changing of eras."
"And what should truly be noted, is the perfect lantern fish, leaping through the Dragon Gate, becoming a truly terrifying being..."
This boss, nurtured by his own hands, is what truly deserves attention.
Now, Liu Jun is making trips to the lantern fish, replenishing divine power and attempting to inculcate the fish with virtues of truth, goodness, and beauty.
Lest it soar to the skies, growing rebellious, and forgets who nurtured it.
"If it doesn’t turn hostile after the breakthrough, that would be best... but one shouldn’t place hopes on it being grateful."
Ignoring the earth-shattering war outside, Liu Jun continuously focused on the changes in the lantern fish.
"I still need to continue studying the structure of the lantern fish, thoroughly grasping every detail to best prepare for it."
Liu Jun always cautious, felt a bit challenged letting himself nurture a boss unknown in terror and power.
He can only prepare theoretically in all aspects.
But he’s cautious, not cowardly.
The path is clearly laid out; risk must still be taken.
Just then, Fortuna rushed in from outside, excitedly saying:
"They’re fighting like mad out there, and now there’s a second form! So devious, like two Creator Gods, mobilizing the cause and effect of the whole world, are you sure you don’t want to take a look?"
"No." Liu Jun sent away the exuberant Fortuna, continuing his research.
Another two months passed.
Liu Jun sensed changes in his lab, the laws of the world subtly altering.
Fortuna came rushing again, "They’ve erupted in a massive way, the world matured, a planet created, countless Divine Objects formed into stars high in the sky..."
"No," God replied succinctly.
Fortuna left with an expression of disappointment, with no one to share her eagerness, filled with unspoken words, feeling stifled.
Another month.
Liu Jun felt the world becoming more delicate, the tables and chairs losing roughness, the whole planet undergoing a massive update.
Yet he remained indifferent.
For his insight could easily discern the process and principle of this structural change.
Is this a method of using the power of cause and effect?
He merely commented on it and continued his research.
While Liu Jun was researching, Fortuna said, "Sir, they’ve decided a victor."
Liu Jun appeared exceptionally calm, "Oh, who won?"
Fortuna’s eyes widened, unintentionally retorting, "After all this time fighting, you’re only interested in asking one question?"
