Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 962: Chaos, Over and Above Common Sense (Part 4)

Just now, that move that Chaos had used, what was that exactly?

The gods looked at each other. All of them were slightly dazed.

Though it was said that onlookers would see the most of a game, and they did clearly see the scene where Chaos had made its move, but... seeing did not mean understanding. In truth, there was not a single one out of them who could make sense out of what was going on.

No matter what kind of attack it was, there should be a process of the attack. Perhaps an attack could be so fast that it could become an “invisible attack.” But from the previous battle that everyone had fought against Chaos, this demon, who was the first and earliest, as well as the strongest one out of all the demons, was not known for having great speed. By right, it should not be able to send out an attack that was so fast that no one could catch sight of it.

So, how on earth did it pitch that move that it attacked the Void Mask with just a while ago?

How was it possible to have a move that could hit the Void Mask without being seen?

After he was hit by Chaos’ attack and hence wrapped up by Chaos’ body, why did the Void Mask choose to head in the direction of Chaos itself to break through the siege?

This was something that made no sense at all. It was completely illogical!

The Void Mask, though definitely not a scholar, had still been through many battles and was truly a veteran in his own right. Such a seasoned warrior like him would absolutely not make the mistake of heading straight into the enemy to launch an attack even though he clearly knew that he should escape.

So, was it Chaos that had interfered with his judgment and caused him to head in the wrong direction?

How did Chaos do that?

The gods were all filled with doubts, but their hands worked without any hint of hesitation. They were all attacking with their greatest strength and were throwing hits at Chaos like a rainstorm.

No matter what other means Chaos had, the most pressing task at hand was to stop it. This was to allow the Dragon of Chaos to administer treatments and also, to buy more time for the God of Justice.

Up till now, the gods could already tell from the battle that in this war against Chaos, the Void Mask was the most important force. If he was defeated or even killed by Chaos, those who remained would not be able to do anything to Chaos. They could only try their best to delay time for as long as possible and hope that the two greater Divine Powers would arrive quickly to rescue them.

But the most terrible thing was, the two greater Divine Powers were engaged in an internal strife. Who knew whether they would be able to rush over in time or not!

The Dragon of Chaos said that the Master of Order had promised to help. Given his temperament, he was certainly an elderly man of his words. Since he had said he would help, he would definitely do so. But even if he had the heart to help, the situation would still require the God of Light to release him from their battle!

If the God of Light would not let the Master of Order go, what should they do if the Master of Order could not make it over in time?

This was why no one dared to pin all their hopes on the timely arrival of the Master of Order. Instead, they placed their hopes in the Void Mask and prayed he could hold up for some time until the Master of Order rushed over.

So for now, there was only one thing they had to do—fight for time so that the Void Mask could recover!

Right at that moment, the Dragon of Chaos had already met with the God of Justice, Yorgaardman, who had fled back frenziedly. The dragon was the remnants of the Master of Chaos. For so many years, he had been pondering how he could unremittingly fight Chaos to the end, so naturally, he would have sufficient understanding and preparation for the means Chaos would put to use. The angry face of the three faces sneered. Then he opened his mouth wide, sprayed out a colorful, bright light that was like flowing water, and poured it all toward the bodies of Sui Xiong and Yorgaardman.

Such brilliant light was naturally a strong power of chaos. If it had been sprayed onto the bodies of gods in the Order camp, it would most likely cause great damage. But Sui Xiong and Yorgaardman were chaotic gods themselves, so they would not be hurt by this brilliant light at all. So all that could be seen was that colorful, bright light falling on them. Just like how a water droplet encountered a dry sponge, the light was immediately absorbed into their bodies. Speaking of which, it was also very strange to see those black flames that were still ablaze earlier on, instantly become smaller when their bodies absorbed the brilliant light. Not long after, the flames on Yorgaardman’s body were completely extinguished, and finally, the flames on Sui Xiong’s body were also extinguished. The both of them were finally out of danger.

It was only up till this point in time that Yorgaardman finally could put his mind to rest. He let out a heartrending cry.

“This hurts to death!”

“What the hell! Are you a sloth? Are you the kind of person who will only know to cry of pain after putting up with it for so long?” Sui Xiong said. He had slowly regained his breath and could not help but tease Yorgaardman. “If you wanted to shout in pain, you should have done it earlier.”

“Just now, I was just so nervous that I forgot about the pain.”

“This is a very effective way of relieving yourself of pain...” Sui Xiong said and could not help laughing. His tentacle became a fist, and he gently patted Yorgaardman on his shoulders as he said, “Many thanks, Brother!”

Yorgaardman’s pair of eyes widened so large that they were like those of a cow. His face was filled with great displeasure.

Sui Xiong laughed heartily and said no more. He turned around to face the direction of Chaos, who was idly strolling amidst the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the other great Divine Powers. Chaos was also crawling over in Sui Xiong’s direction in an unhurried manner.

“That fellow has very bizarre means. Just a moment ago, it seemed to have distorted time and space.”

Yorgaardman froze, and right away, he recalled a scene where he had previously seen the Master of Order and God of Light exchanging blows. Suddenly, he gained some understanding of the situation.

Since the Master of Order and the God of Light could distort time and space, of course, Chaos would be able to do likewise.

Just the aftermath of the battle of the two greater Divine Powers was able to distort time and space. And Chaos’ ability was definitely not beneath theirs. So it could deliberately distort time and space to launch a sudden attack, and then spin around to face Sui Xiong’s direction without anyone’s realization. What was so impossible about that?

Yorgaardman could not help but frown.

Being able to understand what was going on did not mean he was able to resolve the problem.

Distortion of time and space was a special ability of the greater Divine Powers. Even though Yorgaardman was already one of the most powerful figures among the great Divine Powers and was advancing well in the direction of becoming a greater Divine Power, he was still unable to distort time and space.

Even if he had prepared beforehand, he could do nothing more than observing the distortion of time and space. There was no way he could come up with an effective response.

“This move... There’s no way I can deal with it!” he said with a distressed expression after taking a brief moment to collect his thoughts.

On the other hand, Sui Xiong did not think so much. In the first place, he had not intended to come up with any brilliant ideas.

As a cultured person and an artist, Sui Xiong had never felt that he was some combat expert, nor did he ever feel that as compared to his big brother who was skilled in fighting battles, he could possibly come up with a better way to overcome the means of Chaos.

So he chose not to think too much. He would act first and think later.

So what should they be doing now?

Of course, they had to combine forces with the gods and face this battle against Chaos together!

So he roared loudly, and his body spread out again. His tentacles glowed with brilliant light rays and became a huge light ball. Then he took the lead and charged out towards the approaching Chaos.

But this time, he exercised much more caution, and very carefully, he maintained some distance with Chaos. He would never get so close to Chaos as he had done so previously.

The experience of being placed at a disadvantage and being fooled once was enough. He was not the legendary fish with only a fleeting seven seconds worth of memory. He would never fall into the same hole twice.

But he had yet to discover that even though the black flames within his body were extinguished by the colorful light rays of the Dragon of Chaos, the black, dirty mud from Chaos’ body that stained his own body was, in fact, still present.

The strange thing was, these mud stains within Sui Xiong’s body were slowly splitting up and melting away.

It was like... Sui Xiong was digesting these mud stains away instead.
