Chapter 30: Sky God: Go Besiege the Liar, the Abyss! 1
At this moment, the sky grew incredibly gloomy. The once faint glow of the sky dimmed and darkened.
It was like a giant face, the highest in the world, emitting a dangerous aura of world-destroying destruction, its invisible glare glaring down.
The sky's wrath seemed to pierce through the earth, the ocean, the darkness, the night, reaching straight to the abyss at the very bottom of the world.
Uranus, the Sky God, said in a low voice, "I sense the birth of a new divine power, born in the abyss. Mother Goddess, you can sense what divine power it is, right?"
Gaia, the Earth Goddess, whose usually gentle face lost its gentleness, frowned slightly and nodded, "It's the Chaos Divine Power."
Uranus continued, "It's Tartarus. He's the God of the Abyss of Hell, and later possessed the Devouring Divine Power. Now, the newly born Chaos Divine Power must be him."
"He's deceiving you, and he's deceiving all of us gods. From the beginning, he was also the God of Chaos. He can't be harmed by the Source of Chaos at all, and he can control chaos freely."
"I said he needed the Source of Chaos, but Mother Goddess, you didn't believe me. Now you understand, don't you? When I was born, he wasn't there to save me, but to gain... Take the source of chaos. "
The Earth Mother Goddess Gaia said: "Ouranos, Tartarus is not what you said. Maybe now a god of chaos is being born in the abyss itself."
"Because the abyss has absorbed too much of the origin of chaos, it is normal for the body to give birth to a new god with the power of chaos."
"Really?" Ouranos said indifferently: "When new gods are born, we can be reminded of the world of Chaos, but there is no world reminder now. It is the abyss itself that has acquired the power of chaos."
"I said before that the abyss itself is full of chaos and riots, and is not a kind god at all. Don't believe his words. Do you understand now? He is deceiving you."
"I'm going to the abyss, Ouranos, do you want to come with me? I want to see the truth." The Earth Mother Goddess Gaia said.
"On top of the abyss itself, Tartarus is the strongest. In case you are in danger, let's go together." The God of the Sky, Ouranos said.
Afterwards, the bodies of Gaia and Ouranos submerged into the ground. Just as the two gods emerged from the underground into darkness and night.
Deep within the darkness, the invisible, intangible darkness and night began a conversation between the two gods alone.
Erebus, the God of Darkness, said, "I sensed the birth of the God of Chaos. He is most likely Tartarus. He is not afraid of the Source of Chaos. He has deceived us."
Nyx, the Goddess of Night, said, "Erebus, he did not deceive us. Tartarus never said that the Source of Chaos would harm him. I will go find Tartarus."
Nyx, the Goddess of Night, appeared above the abyss.
"Tartarus, I want to enter the abyss." The voice of Nyx, the Goddess of Night, echoed into the abyss.
"Come in!" The abyss collapsed, revealing a deep pit. Night appeared within. In an instant, Nyx entered the hall deep within the abyss.
Seeing Tartarus, Nyx quickly said, "Sky God Uranus and Earth Mother Gaia have entered darkness and night. I sense the sky's hostility. What are you going to do?"
"Go! I saw this coming." Tartarus's lips curled slightly, a faint smile appearing.
In this world, fate is predetermined; cause and effect follow. He had long foreseen this day.
"Pontus, my brother, follow me to protect Mother Goddess and go to the Abyss to find the abominable Tartarus." Flying swiftly through the darkness and night, Sky God Uranus's divine thoughts spread, conveying a message to the Sea God.
At this moment, far away at the end of the world, Sea God Pontus was at the bottom of the ocean, pouring ocean water into the abyss through the Abyssal Pillars.
When the deep sea connected to the abyss, and Tartarus became the God of Chaos, he knew instantly, before any other gods did.
But he didn't see anything wrong with it. Although he had heard stories from the Earth Mother, Pontus didn't care.
As long as the Abyss God took the ocean floor of his body and the Chaos Source within it, he could grow rapidly, and that was all that mattered.
Whether the Abyss God needed the Chaos Source or how it was used was irrelevant.
However, Pontus couldn't afford to offend the Sky God, Uranus, who had called him.
"Uncle Tartarus, Uranus said to him, Mother Goddess, that the three of us gods are here as guests in the Abyss. Should I continue to inject ocean water?" The voice of the Ocean God, Pontus, reached the abyss.
"Guests? It's kind of a guest," Tartarus muttered to himself.
He responded, "End the flow of ocean water! Thank you, my dear ocean god, Pontus. The abyss will become beautiful because of you."
"Okay, uncle, we'll be there soon," Pontus said, cutting off the flow of ocean water back into the abyssal pillar.
The abyssal pillar, connecting to the ocean floor, then quickly fell back into the abyss.
After waiting for a moment, sensing that Gaia, the Earth Mother, and the gods of sky and sea were approaching the abyss, Tartarus and Nyx appeared on the abyssal land below them.
The figure of Erebus, the god of darkness, appeared.
Tartarus looked into the darkness, which said, "Tartarus, the loss of the source of chaos has accelerated my growth, resulting in greater gains. Therefore, I don't care whether it's deception or not, but you may need to explain it to them."
"Thank you for your understanding, my brother Erebus," Tartarus smiled in response.
At this moment, three gods descended from above.
Standing not far away, the Sky God, Uranus, said, "Tartarus, I have accepted your invitation to the Abyss. The Sky is true to its word and never deceives any god. But..."
After a pause, his tone grew colder: "As a god of the Abyss, you are a deceitful god, and you have deceived all of us gods."
Tartarus ignored Sky God, Uranus, and instead looked at Earth Mother, Gaia. "Sister Gaia, it's been a long time since you last came to the Abyss. The last time was... when Darkness and Night were born."
Earth Mother, Gaia, looked at Tartarus, without her usual tenderness, but also without anger.
She displayed a hint of nostalgia.
"It's been a long time. I haven't been to the Abyss since the birth of Night and Darkness, and you haven't truly come to see me on Earth either. The only two times you've appeared were at the births of my two sons."
"Let's not reminisce. Let me get straight to the point!" Tartarus paused, then said, "I've just acquired a new divine authority: the divine authority of Chaos."
"Let me introduce myself again. I am now also the God of Chaos. You can ask me any questions you have about the past, the origins of chaos, or anything else."
The Earth Mother, Gaia, instantly appeared before Tartarus and stared directly at him. "Tartarus, have you truly deceived me?"
