Chapter 11: First Clash with the God-King! 2
Tartarus, unlike the other three gods, feared the Chaos Source.
Eros, in particular, controlled love and lust—one could say, the desires of all things in the world.
However, as a weaker divine power, the Chaos Source was not a god, so he could not interfere with it. Naturally, he feared being touched.
Over the past century, Erebus, the God of Darkness, and Nyx, the Goddess of Night, had injected Chaos Source into the Abyss.
This caused the Chaos Source they needed to suppress within them to rapidly decrease, naturally accelerating their growth and increasing their strength.
This weakening and increasing their aversion to Chaos Source intensified.
This not only damaged their true nature but also hindered their growth.
Tartarus, on the other hand, was the opposite. He was thrilled by the sudden surge of Chaos Source he sensed.
Once his Chaos Godhead was complete, he could deify the Abyss itself, giving birth to a divine body.
Now, with the sudden appearance of a vast amount of Chaos Source, this presents a golden opportunity to grow stronger.
Inside the thick pillar of light, near the earth, a massive black sphere, like a planet about to explode, slowly rose from the earth.
With every rise, the dangerous aura emanating from the Chaos Source intensified.
Destruction, ruin, withering, disaster, death... 3
The various turbulent and unstable Sources merged together, filling the center of the earth with a thick, dangerous aura that threatened to overwhelm even the gods.
This Chaos Source seemed poised to annihilate the entire area!
"Too many Chaos Sources! Brother Tartarus, retreat quickly! It's dangerous."
Nyx, the goddess of night, who had been looming in the darkness, vanished instantly, blending completely into the night.
At the same time, she channeled her divine power, enveloping Tartarus in a dark mist, attempting to carry him away.
"No need!" Tartarus spoke quickly, simultaneously activating his devouring ability to devour the night mist that swirled around him.
The devouring clone possessed only moderate divine power, and was no match for the higher-powered Night Goddess Nyx.
Simply activating divine power to resist would only result in him being forcibly taken away.
He didn't want to leave, so he naturally unleashed his devouring ability.
The devouring divine energy was strange. Upon contact with the night mist, it was directly devoured, absorbed into Tartarus's body. Naturally, this divine power couldn't remove him from his position.
At the same time, Tartarus activated his full divine power.
He was going to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth!
"As expected of the being who guided the succession of three generations of God Kings, Mother Earth, Gaia, is no pushover; she's a ruthless character."
Tartarus sensed that Gaia intended to take advantage of the birth of the Sky God to channel this rich, vast source of chaotic essence, along with her divine power and essence, into the sky.
It's uncertain whether these represent all the Chaos Essence within the earth, but it's certain they will be of immense benefit to Tartarus.
Tartarus sensed that these Chaos Essence weren't naturally absorbed by the Sky God, but rather actively channeled by the Earth.
Letting the Sky bear the brunt of the Chaos Essence's damage would relieve the Earth.
Tartarus wasn't there to aid the Sky God; the main reason was that so much Chaos Essence was too tempting!
"Sister Gaia, I'll share your suffering!" Tartarus' voice rose as he flew closer to the pillar of light, extending his right arm into the sphere within.
The various Chaos Essences formed black tentacles resembling snakes, wrapping around Tartarus's arms. Just as they were about to unleash their all-destructive power, they were forcibly devoured by Tartarus, entering his arm and causing no significant damage.
At this point, the massive sphere of Chaos Essence had already lifted off the earth.
Its ascent increased, rapidly soaring upwards along the pillar of light.
Naturally, Tartarus was also carried upward.
Swallow!
All his divine power erupted, and a massive vortex black hole appeared behind Tartarus.
The devouring divine energy exploded.
The black hole rapidly expanded from the small area behind him.
The devouring power, like an invisible claw, grasped into the source of chaos.
A large amount of chaos source flowed along Tartarus's arm, like a leaping black snake, pouring into the vortex black hole behind Tartarus.
"Tartarus, come back!" Gaia did not appear, but her mighty, immense voice echoed from the earth.
However, perhaps because she was in the process of giving birth to the sky, without divine power to stop Tartarus, the resistance was merely verbal.
Naturally, Tartarus would not obey.
Continue to devour!
At this moment, the vortex black hole moved forward, engulfing Tartarus' devouring clone.
As the black hemisphere rapidly soared into the sky, a single vortex black hole, one-fifth the size of the Chaos Origin black sphere, clung to the black sphere, frantically devouring the Chaos Origin.
In a short while, the black sphere shrank by about one-tenth, having been devoured by Tartarus.
The integrity of the God of Chaos's divinity in the Book of Creation also increased.
"This is a rare opportunity with so much Chaos Origin. To prevent any mishaps, I must devour it quickly," Tartarus thought, exerting his divine power to the limit.
Although his devouring clone had just appeared, he had been devouring Chaos Origin for years, merging it into the Abyss.
He had already mastered the devouring ability to perfection.
The vortex black hole, controlled by him, continued to grow.
Tartarus had a single goal: not to quickly integrate the Chaos Origin, but to devour it completely, then return to the Abyss for digestion and fusion.
Soon, the black sphere shrank even further, while the vortex black hole continued to grow. By now, the vortex black hole was already one-third the size of the Chaos Origin black sphere.
Based on Tartarus's previous life's concept of distance, the Chaos Origin black sphere within the light column was now over five thousand meters from the ground.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force came from above, propelling the Chaos Origin black sphere upward at an even faster speed.
"The God of Sky is robbing me of the Chaos Origin? The Chaos Origin can't harm Sky?" Tartarus was puzzled.
However, pondering this question was pointless at this moment.
Tartarus sensed that Sky hadn't yet been born, but was close to it.
Once it truly reached the end of the highest world, the Chaos Origin would likely be instantly absorbed.
After all, Sky was the first generation God King, and his true form surpassed even Gaia, the God of Earth.
Once it was born, a Devouring Clone of only moderate divine power would be unable to resist.
Luckily, since Sky hadn't yet been born, the suction force from above wasn't overly strong. "Grab!"
Tartarus unleashed his devouring divine energy to its limit, and the rapidly expanding vortex black hole grew even larger.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly.
From an incalculably vast distance above, tens of millions of dazzlingly colorful ropes of divine power descended. Densely entwined, they encircled the Chaos Origin Black Ball and the vortex black hole devouring it.
Like a giant hidden from the world, it cast down countless ropes to bind the Chaos Origin Black Ball.
Then, the giant suddenly yanked all the ropes, pulling the black ball upward at a tremendous speed, forming a dark shadow within the dazzling column of light.
The Chaos Origin Black Ball flew thousands of meters in the blink of an eye!
