Chapter 68 - 45: The Rift



Watching his sister gradually becoming moved, The Dark Overlord couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

“Weakness?” First of all, it’s uncertain whether a weakness truly exists in the world, and even if it does, Erebus would never reveal it.

He himself also wanted to take that step, and if he succeeded in creating the world, he would be too busy concealing it to allow anyone else to discover its secrets.

After all, Laine is a clever person. Even if she suffers a setback, she certainly wouldn’t disclose it.

He had even thought that if he could also create a world, although he would come into conflict with Laine over the yet unclaimed power, they might still form an alliance against the current world.

Meanwhile, Gaia couldn’t understand why, but upon hearing her brother’s explanation, her first reaction wasn’t admiration for his cunning strategy or the potential gains from success, but rather a feeling that both Laine and Erebus seemed somewhat out of place among the Chaotic Gods.

In her memory, the gods would brawl if they were strong enough, or seek allies if they weren’t, at most using some strategies to rally support or launch a surprise attack. Erebus’s approach was indeed rare.

“I will do it.” Mother Earth finally said, “If Cronus does not wish to create a second generation of humanity, then I shall lead the endeavor.”

“He disregards my will and refuses to release Oranides and Cucrops from the Abyss; then I will not concern myself with his thoughts.”

“I will do as you ask, but whether the outcome will be as you hope, that’s no longer my concern.”

Upon hearing this, Erebus nodded; he had finally persuaded Gaia.

He couldn’t guarantee that this attempt would definitely succeed, but it was the only method he could think of.

Soon after, Gaia left with that power, while The Dark Overlord, after watching Mother Earth depart, stood at the edge of his domain, gazing out over the Land of Eternal Night that enveloped the other half of the Underworld.

Compared to Gaia, he was actually more interested in joining forces with Nyx. If the power of “Secrecy” could also be brought in, the plan would be infallible. But he was also aware that if one could say his sister truly had limited means, his younger sister was simply disinterested in such schemes.

She did not harbor a strong desire to become more powerful. If possible, she could even be content living in seclusion for eternity.

Breaking free from the control of Chaos would be great if it were possible, but it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t; as Primordial Gods, as long as they did not fully personify like Gaia, they would not completely fall from the domain of Great Divine Power.

Erebus understood this mindset because a long time ago, he had thought the same.

If it weren’t for the emergence of Laine, he might have also remained alone in the Realm of Lightness, watching the changes in the outside world until the end of time.

“I hope it will be successful.”

“But if it fails, I can still accept it. As an Eternal, I have many more opportunities.”

With a slight shake of his head, for Erebus, the greatest cost of a failed mission would be to raise Laine’s vigilance.

But action always leads to consequences. In any case, The Dark Overlord was ready to face another enemy.

Especially after that Source Power is triggered, whether or not he achieves the result he wants, he will regard Laine as his rival.

But before that, he still had one more thing to do.

“Come—”

With a clear call, in the next moment, within his true body, Erebus truly mobilized the power of the “Great Divine Power.”

Under the power of the Primordial Gods, everything that took place today was devoured by darkness, turning into the essence of ‘secrecy’, curtailing even fate to a certain extent.

“Huff—”

A bit winded, even within his own body, wielding power of this caliber was no small burden. It wasn’t the sheer power that exerted pressure on him, but rather, the capability to a certain extent to interfere with fate, and that was the real challenge.

“I hope the gains will be worth my effort.”

Standing at the edge of the Realm of Lightness, Erebus began to anticipate the results of his scheming.

Since Laine returned to the Spirit Realm, another five hundred years had passed in a flash.

During these five hundred years, the situation in Chaos has been ever-changing.

The war in the sky was approaching its end, and although Cronus had slowed down his offensive due to Laine’s return and the changes to the Nether Moon, after decades without further disturbances from the Underworld, the warfare reignited.

Now, over seventy percent of the stars had submitted to the Divine King, and the God of Stars in those regions had also turned. The remaining areas, apart from those allocated to the domains of God of Meteorology Coeus, were all that Hyperion had left.

Only around the vicinity of the Sun, where the God of Sun’s power was unprecedentedly strong, did the Queen of Gods and God of Meteorology have to slow down their pace.

Meanwhile, at sea, the Sea Gods experienced for the first time what the power of strategy could do.

Battles between potent Divine Powers rarely had clear outcomes, but under Metis’s leadership, the God of the Ocean’s lineage made rapid progress elsewhere. They avoided the battlefields of the Principal Gods and squeezed the territorial domains of the near-sea deities. Pontus’s offspring were exhausted by the struggle, always one step behind.

If not for the diminishing warfare in the stars, Pontus would likely have had difficulty maintaining even his last bastions in the masterless seas.

Following this, ‘Metis the Wise’ became a well-known name across the lands and seas. In keeping with the tradition of the God of the Ocean’s lineage, many deities visited her to express their affections, but the Goddess of Wisdom rejected them all.

Compared to the other gods, she preferred to spend time with the Golden Humanity that survived the divine war.

She taught them ‘Hydrology’ that she had created, enabling them to understand the ocean’s currents and climate. Thus, the humans of the sea left traces vastly different from those on land.

In such times, in the stars above, Coeus’s second daughter, the God of Stars Asteria, gave birth to a daughter with the God of Material Destruction Perse.

And with the birth of this child, the relationship between Coeus and the Divine King, which had been relatively harmonious, suddenly developed a rift.
