“The strong win, the weak lose; the strong live, the weak die. This is a natural thing,” the G.o.d of Light said calmly. “I am stronger than you, so you must lose. You must die. What is wrong with that?”

He said it as if they were two friends who met up with each other to chat about the weather. But such a calm tone intrigued the Sun G.o.d even more. It actually made Him more violent.

“No! No! No!” the flames on His body burned more and more violently, but also more messily. “I am the strongest! I have compiled all of the clergies, and mastered all of the powers! It is impossible for someone to be stronger than I am!”

The G.o.d of Light shook His head gently. He seemed to regret that this piece of iron could not become steel. He sighed.

He was too lazy to say any more. He just kept waving His warhammer, hitting the Sun G.o.d’s body with one blow after the other.

“This is really way past imagination!” Morani exclaimed. “The G.o.d of Glory’s power is strong and at an unimaginable level. I can actually sense the complete set of clergies in His body; it really is all-inclusive, not sparing anything. The power of the G.o.d of Light is much simpler, yet more refined. There is nothing else in it except for ‘humans’…”

“These are two completely different paths,” the G.o.ddess of Wealth said. “Although the Sun G.o.d System has many angels, and the clergies include many different fields, at the end of the day there is only one G.o.d. But with the Human G.o.d System, there are always newly appointed G.o.ds and diversified clergies. It allows all G.o.ds to concentrate on researching and mastering The few clergies close to their core. All this time, people have asked, Which one of these two paths is better? Which path can lead to something higher than ‘strong’ divine power? Now it seems like there is finally a conclusion.”

“One clergy is stronger than one full set of clergies?” Morani asked doubtfully. “Why would it be like that?”

“Beats me. After all, I still haven’t achieved strong divine power,” the G.o.ddess of Wealth said, smiling. “It’s actually not that far away for us though. For those of us who are at this level, it is definitely beneficial to obtain more clergies.”

Morani thought for a while and then nodded heavily. “You are right. More clergies mean that we can understand our powers more comprehensively. It will only benefit us. As for digging deep into the inner core of a clergy, that will have to wait until we are strong enough.”

“My divine powers have increased rapidly as of late,” the G.o.ddess of Wealth said. “The promotion in the accounting system was greatly beneficial in increasing my religion. Too bad I hadn’t acc.u.mulated enough power before this, or else I could perhaps try and rush towards strong divine power.”

Sui Xiong heard the conversation and his heart twitched. He asked, “If you obtain a new clergy, will you be able to try then?”

“New clergy?” the G.o.ddess of Wealth was a little stunned. “I am not the fighting type. Focusing on defense is fine, but grabbing another clergy is easier said than done…”

“What if there is a new one?” Sui Xiong asked.

G.o.ddess of Wealth frowned, and looked to the left and right carefully. Then She used telepathy to speak to him. Do not talk about this right here, we will talk in detail when we get back to the shelter.

Sui Xiong was still young after all. He still did not understand the G.o.ds’ desperation for clergies. A new clergy was like a big piece of fat meat. In the presence of one, most G.o.ds would turn into ravenous wolves.

When the “knowledge” clergy first appeared, a group of G.o.ds would have surely come to fight for it if it were not for the Master of Mystery. Later when the “compet.i.tion” clergy appeared, the War G.o.ds System almost emptied the nest to come out and fight for it. If it were not for Sui Xiong who constructed this indestructible and alternative Holy Kingdom shelter, this clergy would have been long taken by them.

From these two incidents, it could be seen that a clergy, especially a brand new clergy, had always been what G.o.ds cared about. It was also the focal point for fighting.

With the reminder from G.o.ddess of Wealth, Sui Xiong also noticed that it was not appropriate to talk about this topic at a place where many G.o.ds gathered. So he immediately shut his mouth and focused on studying the battle.

And yet, there was nothing much to study in this fight. The failure of the Sun G.o.d was set in stone. It was only a matter of how He would lose, and whether He was going to die or not.

Sui Xiong felt that if they kept fighting, the Sun G.o.d should run away when He could not take it anymore.

He seemed like His hair had bristled, that he was not normal. But even a psychotic patient knows how to get advantages and avoid disadvantages. Sui Xiong had always seen mentioned in the news back home that some criminals could work and drive like normal people but were immediately discovered to have psychological disorders after they committed crimes.

Regardless of how mad the Sun G.o.d was, He could understand the adage “As long as you keep the green mountain alive, you won’t be deprived of logs to burn.”

Yes; He was indeed the green mountain.

In comparison, Sui Xiong was very curious about the G.o.d of Light’s way of fighting. Through his own observations, he could vaguely sense that each hammer from the G.o.d of Light seemed to have a certain rhythm, and complied to a certain trajectory. But even though every hit of the hammer began in a slightly different way, the endpoint was always the same. It was indeed very peculiar.

What kind of trick was this exactly?

Sui Xiong tried to wave his tentacle as He mimicked Him. He waved again and again.

It was very simple; there was nothing special.

But he was sure that there must have been something special factoring in to the way that the G.o.d of Light attacked!

He told Morani and Ink about his observation, hoping that these two G.o.ds who were combat-types could help him study together.

Thus, a weird phenomenon occurred in which three differently-shaped G.o.ds moved their arms or tentacles, imitating the G.o.d of Light. They looked as silly as could be.

There were many G.o.ds who had gathered around and concerned themselves with the battle, so naturally, some G.o.ds who noticed their behavior. Quite a few of them snorted, and there was even someone who mocked aloud that “Void Mask and His stupid friends are going crazy again.” But there were also some G.o.ds who saw what was going on, and after deep thought, they also joined in imitating the action of the G.o.d of Light swinging His hammer.

After some time, there were quite a few G.o.ds stupidly waving. A number of them vaguely felt something, but then had no way of grasping the idea clearly.

Sui Xiong was the same, but he could already vaguely comprehend parts of the G.o.d of Light’s trick. But he only knew what it was, not know how or why. If he were given a huge hammer, he could probably pretend to swing a few times. But if he wanted to blend this wonderful hammer skill into himself and show it further, it would be completely impossible.

The G.o.d of Light had noticed the surrounding G.o.ds who were learning from Him. He could not help but laugh.

“I thought I wanted to continue playing with you for some time, so I could completely defeat you. But now I cannot. I have no interest in becoming a teacher!”

As He was saying that, He kept His hammer and pulled out a big broadsword.

“Coming next will be the final hit. If you have any skills left that you have yet to use, seize the time now.”

As He was saying that, His body projected an even more violent aura than the Sun G.o.d had before, but there was no burning feeling at all. It was still full of a strict order, like an army that had a strong military, full of mechanical sense. It made others s.h.i.+ver without any cold.

The Sun G.o.d naturally felt the death crisis that was imminent. He was furious and yet felt terrified. He yelled loudly, “Impossible! It is impossible You are stronger than I am!

“I am the strongest G.o.d! There is nothing that I do not know! Nothing that I cannot do! Nowhere I cannot be! I am the highest and the biggest! I am King of the Kings! G.o.d of the G.o.ds!”

His yelling was becoming crazier, and the aura which had already increased to the maximum level increased once again until it was unimaginable.

At that moment, even the silver shadow inside the Wheel of Order made a doubtful sound and turned its attention over.

All the strong divine powers were shocked. The Sun G.o.d had exceeded the maximum limits of strong divine power. He presented as very ambiguous but was indeed undergoing a kind of change.

Great divine power?!

Was the way this fellow gathered a full set of clergies really the pathway that could lead to great divine power?!

The entire Pantheon Temple became silent at that instant. All of the G.o.ds turned their attention to the fight. They put all their focus on the Sun G.o.d who was furiously screaming, whose powers were still constantly increasing.

The G.o.d of Light was not affected by Him and slowly struck a pose, ready to swing the sword.

His powers at the time were weaker than the Sun G.o.d’s. If Sun G.o.d was really allowed to break through to great divine power, then the entire Human G.o.d System, or the entire human race, might face complete destruction!

In the Country of Light, people like Javier were filled with uneasiness and the Human G.o.ds were frightened.

“Are we hunting the tiger to end up being eaten by the tiger?” the G.o.d of Bards mumbled to Himself. “I think this situation is not right!”

“Bullsh*t! You must have confidence in His Highness!” the G.o.d of Protection scolded angrily.

“Confidence alone cannot solve problems…”

“Not being confident is the biggest problem!”

Although the other G.o.ds did not join their heated argument, they all showed worry on their faces. And there were a few, like G.o.d of Aristocracy, whose eyes shone with deep thought. n.o.body was sure what they were thinking about.

“You are all demons with the names of G.o.ds! I am the only one and true G.o.d!”

The powers of the Sun G.o.d were still increasing. It seemed endless and unlimited.

At the same time, the G.o.d of Light swung His sword.

Similar to the hammer before, it was a very plain and simple sword move. A slanted slash, a cut that even a young man who had just started learning could perform.

But it was just the same as the hammer skills before: this sword contained a wonderful charm. It was filled with an indescribable energy. No, it was even stronger than the previous continuous waving of the war hammer. This type of energy was vividly presented in this sword, and people could not help but be captured by it. Even their thoughts were stopped temporarily.

Thoughts were not the only thing paused at that moment. The main plane of the Ring of the World had immediately halted. The unchanging torrent that connected the entire Ring of the World froze.

Only the silver shadow within the Wheel of Order was not affected. The corner of His mouth was slightly tilted up, and He gave an approving smile.

The next moment, the liveliness of the Sun G.o.d halted. The power that was increasing at an insane rate had stopped suddenly.

After that, without any precursor, His huge body exploded.

“Im-possi-ble!”

This was the last word left behind by the G.o.d of Glory, who had acc.u.mulated a full set of clergies through different tricks, who was strong enough to shock all the other G.o.ds, who once even broke through to the level of great divine power.
