Chapter 15: Making the Sky God Apologize to the Abyss 1
Sky God Uranus's sudden question left Earth Mother Gaia unable to respond.
This was the first time she had given birth to a single deity, and the Sky God was far too powerful. Gaia, still in her original form, was unable to deify herself and stop him.
Also, with her consciousness in a state of semi-consciousness, she had many questions.
For example, the Tartarus before her wasn't the deified form of the Abyss, but it was Tartarus.
Also, it had always been she and the two Primordial Gods, Dark Night, who had actively sent the Source of Chaos into the Abyss, and the Abyss had been unable to seize it.
Why was Tartarus suddenly able to forcibly seize the Source of Chaos?
Why, even more so, had he taken the Source and divine power that rightfully belonged to the Sky?
She looked at Tartarus, wanting to channel her divine power to see through him, but she held back.
After all, Tartarus had been helping him since his birth.
Without the aid of the Abyss, his rapid growth would have been impossible.
Some origins can be concealed through immense strength, but only if one's strength is far greater than the target of their spies.
Unfortunately, the Earth Mother is currently the most powerful deity in Chaos. Simply by sensing it, she can tell Tartarus's current devouring power.
Also, Tartarus's devouring divine form had already been disclosed to the Night Gods at its birth, so it couldn't be concealed.
Meeting Gaia's gaze, Tartarus spoke truthfully, "Sister Gaia, I am not the deification of the Abyss at this moment. To be more precise, I am the deification of the Devouring God."
"For some unknown reason, I absorbed the source of chaos sent by the earth, and then the source of chaos sent by night and darkness. From the abyss, the Devouring Godhead was born, possessing the divine authority of the Devouring God."
"Extend your godhood!" said Mother Earth, Gaia. "I am the earth, but I am more than just the earth. As we grow, we may also possess new divine authority."
"I, too, sense that I will possess new divine authority," said Nyx, the goddess of night.
"Yes," Tartarus continued. "Night, Darkness, and I originally intended to witness the birth of the Sky God, but we unexpectedly witnessed the chaos primordial riot."
"Such a large amount of chaos primordial, whether it flew into the sky or fell to the ground, would be a great harm to both of you."
"So just now, I decided to devour the chaos primordial first. But as I was devouring it, divine power rained down from the sky to compete with me."
"Before my birth, I had no clear divine consciousness. I thought it might be an uncontrolled instinctive reaction before the birth of the Sky God."
"If If Sky were allowed to absorb such a large amount of Chaos Origin, my unborn nephew might become incomplete. The situation was serious, so I forcibly devoured the Chaos Origin.
"During this process, Sky dropped ropes of divine power, attempting to forcibly absorb the Chaos Origin. However, upon contact with the Chaos Origin, Sky was unable to withstand its overwhelming destructive force and shattered.
"I simply unintentionally devoured some of Sky's Origin and divine power while consuming the Chaos Origin. It wasn't intentional."
Tartarus certainly wasn't unintentional. While consuming the Chaos Origin, he unleashed his Devouring Divine Energy to its fullest extent. He nearly reached the limit of Sky's Origin and divine power that he could absorb at the time.
After all, he was the future first king of the gods. Tartarus wanted to witness his immense power.
As Tartarus recounted his past, images flickered in the darkness beside the Night Goddess, Nyx. These were the scenes of Tartarus and Sky fighting over the Chaos Origin black ball. This was Tartarus's first experience. The night could actually record her past experiences and create visual images—something truly miraculous.
As Tartarus finished speaking, the scene ended.
Nyx, the goddess of night, still spoke with dissatisfaction: "Tartarus's Devouring Deification is very weak."
"Yet he risked his life to help the sky. After the Sky God was born, he showed no gratitude and instead tried to harm Tartarus. He needs to apologize to Tartarus."
Powerful deities can discern truth from falsehood.
Gaia, the Earth Mother, confirmed the image's authenticity.
Uranus, the Sky God, also recognized the authenticity of these past images.
At this moment, the Sky God's previously unclear memories of his birth became clear.
Gaia, the Earth Goddess, looked at the Sky God: "Uranus, you need to apologize. As you can see, your divine power will also be destroyed by the Chaos Source."
"If these Chaos Sources continue to enter the sky, it will harm your true form. It was Tartarus who helped you."
At this point, Uranus, the Sky God, had subsided his hostility toward Tartarus. He frowned slightly, but remained silent.
Instinctively, he felt a strong aversion to Tartarus, the God of Hell and the Abyss.
The fact that he had robbed a small portion of his divine power was only a minor factor, but not the key.
The key point is that the sky covers the earth, obscuring half of the world's night and darkness.
It covers half of Chaos and controls half of Chaos.
But the sky does not cover the abyss; he does not control it.
Somehow, he believed he would become the world's most powerful god.
Such a powerful being, he could not control the abyss.
Will the abyss threaten him in the future?
Looking at Uranus, the Sky God, Tartarus remained silent, his expression blank.
He wanted to see what this future First God King, this domineering and tyrannical Sky God, would do.
He felt a certain anticipation.
It would be wonderful to get an apology from the First King of the Gods.
After a moment's hesitation, Uranus spoke.
"I'm sorry, my uncle. As a token of my gratitude for your help, I will repay you in the future."
He glanced at Tartarus briefly, then focused his attention on Gaia, the Earth Mother.
Tartarus also sensed that Gaia, while not unleashing her divine might, kept her gaze fixed on Uranus, putting pressure on him.
After all, who would be the strongest in the future?
But in the current Chaos world, Gaia is at the mid-peak stage of divine power, the absolute most powerful deity.
"A pragmatic deity, perhaps a soft-hearted one?" Tartarus quipped.
On the surface, a polite smile played on his face. "You're welcome. I'm Gaia's younger brother. We helped each other and grew up together. Now, I'm happy to help her children."
At this moment, the source of chaos Tartarus had absorbed suddenly surged out, unleashing a powerful destructive force.
Boom!
