Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 972: The Battle of the great Divine Powers (Part 4)

The Master of Order had spent some of his energy on saving the God of Aristocracy and was thus unable to defend against the God of Light’s fists.

The God of Light managed to hit the Master of Order with full power, causing the Master of Order’s body to lurch with silver-white blood flying in all directions. What was worse was that, along with this attack, the God of Light’s powers finally managed to find a loophole, and he used this newly created wound to encroach upon the Master of Order’s body.

To someone who was a part of the great Divine Powers, such an attack almost fully guaranteed victory at this point in time.

However, the God of Light did not rest his case. He continued to fervently attack and every punch aimed at the Master of Order’s chest, which had been blown wide open. Despite the fact that the Master of Order frantically created a third arm for defense against the God of Light, he was still unable to defend against every single hit and was often affected by the attacks.

Nevertheless, even in a dangerous situation like this, the Master of Order continued to use his energy to save the God of Aristocracy. To him, saving the God of Aristocracy was essential to protecting the order of this world, just like how killing the God of Light would also help towards the same purpose. Since both factors required his attention, the Master of order could not simply pick one and instead had to force himself to multitask.

Preserving the order of this world was the exact priesthood of the Master of Order. This was his belief and his downfall. In the previous years, he had repeatedly faced the dilemma of having to take care of two situations involving order simultaneously. During those times, however, he had had sufficient strength and was able to multitask brilliantly, juggling the situations well.

However, today, unlike before, the Master of Order was not able to get the best of both worlds.

Seeing as the Master of Order was slowly crumbling on his own, with a flash of light, Sui Xiong once again changed himself into a shooting star suddenly and went for the God of Light’s brows.

He had already destroyed the God of Light’s original brain. Now, not only was Sui Xiong free to attack the God of Light again, he could even use a larger amount of strength and pose a larger amount of danger to the God of Light. The God of Light, however, did not seem to care. He simply waved one hand and sent Sui Xiong flying off. While Sui Xiong flew backwards, he was even coughing up blood!

This short period of time where the God of Light was distracted was not enough for the Master of Order to do anything. However, just as the God of Light’s other hand continued to punch towards the Master of order, a rusty and chipped lumberjack reached out his hand to stop him.

The God of Justice, Yorgaardman, had taken action.

The God of Light was extremely shocked. He had not expected that the God of Justice would actually come forward to stop him.

However, upon further thought, the God of Light understood the intentions behind Yorgaardman’s intervention. He had, after all, swallowed the God of Evil and done all sorts of evil deeds. This had already crossed over the line between good and evil. In any case, the God of Justice had always hated the God of Light. Even if they had maintained good relations thus far, this moment was where the God of Justice could take action against the God of Light.

As he thought, the God of Light couldn’t help but smile. This was an evil and devious smile.

“Yorgaardman, if you had taken action earlier, maybe you could have been of help. Now it’s too late!”

As the God of Light spoke, he raised his other fist and disintegrated the axe of the God of Justice into powder. He did not stop there and moved all the powder to hit Yorgaardman’s chest, sending the burly God of Justice flying just like a shooting star, where he hit and damaged tens of worlds in the process. If it was not for the combined efforts of several Divine Powers who had not strayed too far from the battlefield and had caught him, it was unsure just as to how far the God of Justice would have flown.

Just at this very moment, Sui Xiong appeared again. He was still spitting blood, but his momentum was now increased. He was now no less powerful than the God of Light when he had first stepped into the great Divine Power level.

The God of Light’s attack had definitely harmed him, but it had also forced Sui Xiong to maximize his potential in this crisis. He then combined the Dragon of Chaos’ inheritance, the power shot out by the God of Light and the added strength gifted by the other gods and quickly absorbed and digested it into his own strength.

If it was not for the lack of time to stabilize and gain full control of his newfound strength, Sui Xiong could possibly be considered a great Divine Power now. The jump from Divine Power to great Divine Power of course included many amazing features. However, in the setting of a war, these features were actually of little use. It was just like how, if a fighter faced an ordinary human, he could showcase all sorts of beautiful and mesmerizing fighting stances. However, if he faced a fighter of the same level, they would just look like ordinary and overused stances and tactics.

Beautiful and mesmerizing things usually lacked practicality. In comparison, useful things often did not need a beautiful exterior to showcase their value. Using a sword that was adorned with gold and all sorts of jewels would not necessarily bring about more harm to the enemy than a normal large knife with no engraving. What really mattered was the user of the weapon and how he utilized it.

The Sui Xiong of the present was just like the plain, normal knife mentioned. It may not have an appealing exterior, but it definitely was not lacking in potential either.

This time, the God of Light had to use around three whole seconds to send Sui Xiong flying again.

Although Sui Xiong’s injuries were more severe than before, where just one more attack would cause him to lose his life, he had already achieved his goal of buying extra time for the Master of Order.

These three seconds, as well as the time that the God of Justice had bought previously, was now sufficient for the Master of Order. With a wave of his hand, the God of Aristocracy was freed from the bomb and flew out. Although the infection of evil on the God of Aristocracy was not fully removed and the pain from the destruction of his priesthood was still present, at the very least, their life was saved.

After doing that, the Master of Order once again rushed towards the God of Light and raised his fists. This time, it was the Master of Order’s turn to gain an opportunity to strike first.

It was undeniable that the God of Light was extremely strong, to the point where even if the strong yet injured Master of Order were to seize this opportunity, he would still be unable to redeem an advantage for himself. If the battle were to continue on, perhaps within a short period of time, the God of Light would be able to reverse the outcome of the battle in his favor yet again.

However, right before that, Sui Xiong had already regained his composure and rushed up again to help.

This time, he was once again stronger than before.

He was just like a cockroach that never died, where every time he was beaten down, he stood back up even stronger. As long as his fighting spirit was still intact, his strength could continue to increase infinitely.

With Sui Xiong’s help, the Master of Order gained a great advantage and managed to powerfully hit the God of Light such that the latter flew back several steps, somewhat balancing out the previously skewed battle.

In this third exchange, the God of Light required a full ten minutes to find a suitable chance in this intense battle to damage Sui Xiong. This was not done with his fists but rather with his weapons that had already become fully black. His sword was continually emanating vibes of evil and anger.

This attack with the sword nearly sliced Sui Xiong in half. However, even before this attack was complete, the Goddess of Wealth and the God of Righteousness and Law had already joined forces, standing on Sui Xiong’s either side before picking him up and disappearing. These two Divine Powers ran for their lives and focused on escaping. This made it impossible for the God of Light to chase them and Sui Xiong in light of his ongoing battle with the Master of Order.

Sui Xiong was thus yet again able to keep his life. Although the God of Light was angered at the thought of Sui Xiong being able to slip away, he was also relieved that this distraction was now gone. He could now focus on killing the Master of Order!

Well, he spoke too soon...

Once the God of Light managed to regain an advantageous position against the Master of Order after a laborious period of time, Sui Xiong re-appeared yet again.

The God of Light’s roar could be heard over the entire world. Apart from a tinge of evil, the roar was mostly one of frustration and annoyance.
