"You are still just a nascent concept; the power of war still awaits Lord Mobius to perfect it!"
"And Lord Ares, have you noticed anything different about my aura?" Lord Mobius said with a smile, releasing his aura for Lord Ares to sense.
Lord Ares stirred, his eyes opening in disbelief. The aura intertwined with his own yet repelled it, like the two poles of sky and earth—there were places of connection and places of repulsion.
"Lord Mobius, your aura corresponds somewhat to mine, yet it repels and attracts simultaneously. What is going on?" Lord Ares already had a guess in his heart. The other half he lacked would be completed here; they would become the most intimate beings, and no worldly trials, not even death, could separate them.
Their powers were like a perfectly rounded heart, mutually attracting; combined, they were perfect.
Lord Mobius's expression turned serious. "Lord Ares, this is what I wanted to tell you: my new divine position is about to be born."
"A new power, born from war, will have a promoting and influencing effect on war."
"What is this divine position called?" Lord Ares asked.
Lord Mobius replied, "This divine position is called Peace. War is everywhere, but lives caught in the flames of war long for its cessation and disappearance, and thus the divine position of Peace will emerge."
Originally, Lord Mobius had doubts about why he would acquire this divine position, as in his previous life's mythology, it belonged to Athena, the Goddess of War and Peace. Later, he considered why Athena, since her birth, had repeatedly defeated and provoked Lord Ares—perhaps it was for the divine position of war.
"Now I am just waiting for the power of Peace to be nurtured. Lord Ares, will you help me?" Lord Mobius stared intently at Lord Ares.
Lord Ares looked gently at Lord Mobius and said, "I can help you. I can give everything for you, but how can this divine position be obtained?"
"I want the world's war to stop for an instant; as long as it stops for an instant, the power of Peace will be born in that instant."
"That's a difficult task," Lord Ares said after a moment of silence. "You know, Lord Mobius, the fires of war on the earth never cease. When they stop in the east, they flare up in the west. Even when I suppress them in the south, the flames of war appear in the north. It is omnipresent and all-encompassing."
"Even among gods, war can break out. This matter is extremely difficult. Even if I were to sleep eternally, the wars on earth would awaken me."
Lord Mobius fell silent. War had never ceased in his previous life; it began at the cellular level. Unless all life died out, war would erupt even between two living beings.
"What then?" For the first time, Lord Mobius felt this divine position was extremely tricky. Was he to learn from Athena, repeatedly frustrating Lord Ares, forcing Lord Ares to master the power of destruction?
If that were the case, he would rather not have this so-called divine position of Peace. While it would make him powerful, exchanging it for Lord Ares was impossible!
Just then, Elysarian, the God of Comfort, a subordinate god Lord Mobius had brought from the earth, who had always followed Lord Ares, suddenly spoke up, "Lord Mobius, you want to stop war, so why not make war more intense, let conflicts escalate, and let the flames of war burn across the entire world?"
"Then, people who have experienced the pain of war will not wage war for a while afterward, and their longing for Peace will reach its peak. Wouldn't that be easier?"
Hearing the words of Elysarian, the God of Comfort, God of War Ares also looked over, somewhat surprised and uncertain, then turned to Lord Mobius. 'This is your subordinate god? This is the God of Comfort?'
Perhaps you should be the God of War? Although I also enjoy instigating war, I've never caused a war that engulfed the entire world.
"Such a war would be damaging to the entire world," Lord Ares responded.
Elysarian, the God of Comfort, continued, "But it's very effective, isn't it? Lord Ares, as long as you plunge the entire world into war, then after the war, people will long for Peace for a period, and that way, Lord Mobius can obtain the divine position of Peace."
"This matter will also greatly help Lord Mobius in mastering the power of healing. As long as he has this power, allowing the world's life to remember the pain of war, then the power of comfort and healing will bring joy to the world," Elysarian stated loudly.
Lord Mobius looked at Elysarian in silence and said, "Weren't you most concerned about life before? You were willing to become my subordinate god because you wanted to heal your friend."
A trace of sorrow flashed in Elysarian's eyes. "But when I became a god, I found that friendship had long ended. All I felt from them was greed. Since this world made me lose my friends, then I will make those lives feel some pain."
Pain brother? No, buddy, that's not your character setting!
Lord Mobius was somewhat silent. He hadn't expected that saving a random Daimon would lead to such thoughts, wanting to ignite a worldwide war.
Even Lord Ares didn't have such an idea; he merely thought instigating partial wars was his best idea. Elysarian, the God of Comfort, actually wanted to expand the war.
He didn't know whether bringing this one to become a god was a blessing or a curse.
Lord Ares was silent for a moment, then continued, "If we instigate an all-out war, we need a fatal temptation; that would make it even easier."
"Then there must be something that can make all gods, no, all life in the world, go mad for it. This thing must be recognized and desired by all gods and all creatures," Elysarian said.
Lord Mobius suddenly thought of Peace. The wars on earth were endless, so what about Peace in thought? He still didn't want to instigate an all-out war; it would make him feel like a demon king destroying the world.
So, if Lord Mobius spread the concept of Peace throughout the world, how to make Peace appear in the world, would he then be able to obtain this divine position?
And since Peace and war are interdependent, he could also promote the relationship between war and Peace.
