Sizzle!
The gods unleashed their powers simultaneously, and the space was distorted as a result. The gods watching from the back trembled, their eyes filled with gloating as they looked at Li Yu.
Although they had no personal grudges with Li Yu, he was now undeniably standing on the opposite side of the Divine Realm.
Thus, their stance was clear.
Killing Li Yu was something they were eager to see.
Firstly, they did not want the existing order to collapse and threaten their status.
Secondly, many of them had [Authority] related to elements in some way. If Li Yu succeeded in ascending to godhood, their powers would inevitably be affected, and no one wanted such a thing to happen.
Thirdly, and most importantly, Li Yu, who possessed the Asura God position, had powers that inherently suppressed most gods.
If Li Yu Elemental Spirit also ascended to godhood, the power he wielded would likely surpass the level of a God King.
At that time, their respective "ranks" would inevitably drop a level.
They did not want to see such a situation either.
At the same time, the destruction black ball cast by the God of Destruction was still falling, the Tree of Life behind the Goddess of Life was growing, and the Heart of Goodness held by the Goddess of Kindness was beating violently, while the scales of judgment held by the God of Evil had already placed Li Yu upon them.
Li Yu was simultaneously under attack by the four main gods.
But his face remained calm. Since the moment he decided to draw his sword, he had been ready to face everything.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing within, and then, with a sudden "Boom," the noise reverberated, followed by continuous sounds.
Everyone froze, including the four main gods who were currently exerting their powers.
They looked at the scene before them in confusion. The powers Li Yu had just shown—various elemental spirits, as well as the soul beasts that had formed contracts and survived in a special form—had all erupted!
What did this mean?
Had Li Yu given up, intending to make the final result more tragic?
But in the next moment, they realized they were wrong!
The powers that exploded eventually transformed into pure energy, inexplicably being absorbed, and then turned into a colorless wind that blew out!
The colorless wind appeared gentle, but wherever it passed, whether it was spiritual energy or various clouds and mists, it was instantly dissipated, merging into the colorless wind, making it even more powerful.
"Welcome your elemental storm..." Li Yu murmured, mercilessly injecting all his power.
When ascending the [Path to God], he had wondered: What exactly is the definition of an element?
The Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness, Time, and Space...
These were the elements he initially thought of.
But later, Poison, Life, and Evil... were successively "defined" as elemental forces under his control.
If that's the case, can Destruction, the opposite of Life, be considered an element?
Can Goodness, the opposite of Evil, be regarded as the "higher position" of Light?
If not, then why was Life defined as an element, and Evil as well?
If it can, then the powers of the four main gods can naturally all be considered elemental forces.
With that in mind, wouldn't the battle become simpler? The elemental storm could fully unleash its power!
And he would only have to face the powers of the four ultimate artifacts!
As his thoughts settled, the colorless wind swept through the destruction black ball of the God of Destruction. The ball visibly slowed down and then gradually dissolved!
At the same time, Li Yu heart, guided by the Heart of Goodness, beat violently, and the power of the Judgment Scales descended.
Li Yu consciousness was simultaneously drawn into two completely different scenarios.
One was resplendent and holy, a crystal-clear heart suspended in mid-air, questioning Li Yu about what goodness was.
Before Li Yu could answer, the voice spoke again: "Goodness is beauty, it is sympathy, it is love, it is tolerance. In your actions, has there been even a bit of goodness? If so, you will receive a pardon, and the chance to repent."
After speaking, the heartbeat of the heart became even more intense.
Li Yu didn't doubt that, if his will faltered even a little, his heart would explode in an instant, causing a drastic fall in his power, and he would be killed by this Goddess of Kindness or another main god!
This so-called "goodness" was a guise of killing, no trace of real goodness, with danger lurking at every step!
Li Yu narrowed his eyes. His crown of prismatic light glistened on his head, and his pupils flickered with light as his divine sense power was pushed to the extreme.
While searching for a breakthrough in this illusion, he coldly replied: "Goodness? My goodness can be summed up in two words: 'Only good to myself.' If being good to myself is a problem, then what use is this goodness?"
After speaking, Li Yu heart began to beat more violently, but his body was already enveloped in prismatic light. He then extended his finger, and the sword's glow gathered, slashing diagonally at the crystal-clear heart.
"You arrogant fool, how dare you speak of goodness so lightly? Do you not know death?" The heart, glowing with radiance, emitted a voice filled with anger. It trembled even more intensely, and shadows began to spread from it, blasting toward Li Yu.
"You speak of goodness, but every word is about life and death. Is this your so-called goodness?" Li Yu coldly replied, his finger slashing.
The prismatic sword light fell, and the dazzling shadows that spread from the heart were sliced apart.
But it felt like an endless loop, continually repeating. The "plop, plop" sounds echoed, but this space still hadn't been shaken.
From the crystal heart, the shadows spread faster, and the divine voice grew more anxious, revealing that while Li Yu couldn't break through the Heart of Goodness's "interrogation" for now, it was also unable to stop Li Yu.
Li Yu realized that the Heart of Goodness, as an ultimate artifact, primarily had the power of "self-reflection."
If one's "true heart" is firm, the Heart of Goodness might have a binding effect, but it certainly couldn't directly destroy a god!
Of course, maintaining that firm "true heart" under the Heart of Goodness was also an incredibly difficult task.
At this moment, Li Yu felt the cracks forming in the shadows that spread from the brilliant heart. The energy contained within them was constantly eroding him, trying to shake his will.
But now, under the prismatic Eternal Crown, all the forces layered upon him could not shake him in the slightest!
Moreover, Li Yu divine sense was no weaker than any of the main gods.
In addition, although the Elemental Spirit hadn't yet ascended to godhood, with the help of the Asura God's power, he was now officially at the God King level.
To try and directly kill him with such power was a pipe dream.
As this thought crossed his mind, Li Yu will became even firmer, and the prismatic sword light he slashed became even sharper!
"Can willpower also affect the strength exerted within this space?" Li Yu muttered to himself, his eyes shining brightly.
