Chapter 468: War Of The G.o.ds
“I was talking to Agares just now. And I even said that Agares was a good person. What’s wrong with me?” Watson muttered softly.
Agares had captured him with bad intentions. Furthermore, when Agares said that he would find him a new body, he had been lying. However, Watson had believed him then. It was as if someone had forcibly changed his mind. He no longer felt like that.
“That was his ability. It seems that he can change not only a person’s physical sense of direction but also the direction of a person’s thoughts.”
Nia explained, “That ability is not rare among G.o.ds. In the past, many G.o.ds could control the minds of others, making those people do what they wanted. They even thought that they were doing things based on their will! However, there is a flaw in that ability. They can’t use it on people with a strong will. Otherwise, it would cause the other party’s will to collapse. ”
Watson recalled the short time he had spent with Agares. Soon, he found the moment his thoughts were reversed. That was when Agares explained his ability to him. Agares said that he could make people lose their sense of direction. He even verified it. Watson had wondered why Agares had told him that. He did not think that Agares’ ability could make people lose their direction and their sense of direction.
After that, Agares continued to express goodwill toward him. It was all to give him a psychological hint. Whenever he had bad thoughts about Agares, the G.o.d would use his ability to change them into good thoughts. That was why he felt that Agares was not bad and even asked Nia to let him off.
“As expected of a G.o.d. He planted a psychological hint for me without making a fuss. I almost fell for it.”
After understanding what the Agares had done, Watson felt a lingering fear.
He had used the starlight-tier tool that he had fused to kill the projection of two G.o.ds easily. It made him feel that G.o.ds were very average. He had given up on that idea.
“Nia, take me away from here.”
Watson was about to step forward when he suddenly coughed. He felt a sharp pain in his neck. He looked down and saw a layer of ice spreading along his neck and quickly covering his chest.
Opposite him, the ice on Agares’ body gradually cracked, revealing Agares’ calm figure.
“Fortunately, a part of my body was placed on Watson’s body. I can transfer all the damage I received to you through the Lost Direction spell. Otherwise, I would not be feeling good from that attack just now! Young Lady, it seems like the energy contained in your body is not ordinary. Clearly, it is some kind of divine power. and the ability you used just now, if I’m not mistaken, is Molecular Deceleration. In the entire deity world, there are not many people who can use that ability. You must be a reincarnated Child of G.o.d.”
“I advise you not to make a move against me. To be able to reincarnate as a Child of G.o.d, you must have paid quite a price. In addition, your current body is only at peak gold-tier. The power you can use might not be as good as mine! This is the grudge between the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s G.o.ds and Watson. I hope that you will not get involved and lose your life in vain.”
Agares was still trying to persuade her, but Nia did not listen to him at all. She stretched out her hand and said, “Molecular Acceleration.”
A bright light burst out of Nia’s hand. That light was very dazzling and swept over Aguerre’s body. Agares’ body was covered with bright arrowheads from different directions. Unfortunately, those arrowheads could not deflect Nia’s attack at all. The powerful light wave submerged the body and shot straight into the sky.
“I’ve told you, Young Lady, your attacks can’t affect me! Since you insist on fighting with me, then I can only kill you with no mercy.”
Agares walked out of the light beam unscathed. The second prince’s face was ice-cold. He only stretched out his hand, and a symbol appeared on the greenish-black skin on Watson’s neck. Immediately after that, Watson’s body involuntarily flew toward him and was caught in his hand. During that process, Watson could not help but spit out blood.
It seemed like the attack that Agares had released did not land on himself, but on Watson’s body instead.
“Master!”
With a cry, Niya’s eyes burst with killing intent, as if she was about to attack. At that moment, Agares’ palm touched Watson’s neck. “Don’t move. If you come over, I’ll break Watson’s neck right now.”
“Break my neck? If I die, you won’t be able to get what you want. Besides, didn’t you promise to help me find a new body after you took over my body? If I die here, how am I going to complete my reincarnation?”
“It’s okay, Kid. I know you won’t die. You don’t have to lie to me! Furthermore, I don’t have to act with you now. I have no plans to help you complete your reincarnation.”
“Seriously? Then I won’t have any psychological burden to attack you.” Watson coughed up blood before a smile appeared on his face.
“Watson, you want to attack me? Stop joking. You’re just a mortal. How can you defeat a G.o.d like me? The last time you defeated me, it was because my host body could not stand it. And I wasn’t serious. You did not defeat me, just the corpse that I occupied.” Agares had a disdainful look on his face. At that point, he was very serious, displaying the complete power of a G.o.d.
“Watson, don’t tell me you want to use the thing in your body to fuse with my body that I just fed you and then get rid of my control over you? I advise you to stop thinking about it. The body I fed you has been incubated for an hour, and now it’s completely wrapped up in the Lost Direction, disappearing into your body. It’s like a race chess piece that you can’t find no matter how hard you look.”
“I have to say that, as a G.o.d, your ability and intelligence to see through people’s hearts truly amazes me! However, you guessed wrongly. Who said that I want to fuse the power in my body?”
Watson chuckled and stared at Agares’ chest.
“You mean… Wait a moment!” Agares seemed to have remembered something. His expression changed, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Watson stretched his hand toward his chest and said, “Fusion system, activate.”
As he spoke, Agares’ chest exploded. A dark red shadow of the moon and a thick earthen yellow energy as heavy as the earth rose and fused in mid-air. It turned into a half-golden and half-red ball. Two slender women’s hands suddenly reached out from the ball and landed on Agares’ body, one on the left and the other on the right. They smashed Agares’ body into pieces. An image of a G.o.d wrapped in a storm, holding a harp in his hand, and with a dragon tail behind his back, emerged from the shattered body, shouting in the air.
“Gaia, Diana, you two b*tches. You intentionally left divine power in my body when I descended. So this is the time to use it. You all conspired against me. I won’t let you off.”
“Agares, who asked you to be so stupid? You clearly know that we left divine power in your body, yet you still dare to be the first to attack Watson?”
“That’s right. You may think that you can suppress our divine power, but don’t forget that Watson has that ability. It can increase our divine power several times, or even ten times. Naturally, it can destroy your body! Out of the kingdom’s seven G.o.ds, you were the fastest and had the ability to make one lose one’s way. You were the most difficult to deal with. Now that you’ve disappeared, Watson is ours.”
Gaia and Diana’s voices rang out in mid-air. Following that, the golden and dark red spheres shattered, revealing their figures. After watching Agares’ soul cursed a few times, forced to bounce out of that world, they laughed.
“Watson, you did well. It was not in vain that we told you about that when we entered your cell. It seems that compared to Agares, you chose us! It’s no wonder. One of us is the G.o.ddess of Moon and Love, while the other is the G.o.ddess of Earth and Fertility. We will definitely treat you very gently.”
Gaia and Diana stood side by side. They did not seem to be bickering with each other.
“I might have to disappoint you, my two G.o.ddesses. I will not choose Agares or you. My body is mine.”
Watson rubbed his neck. As Agares left, the body of the G.o.d that entered his body fell off automatically. Before it fell off, he used the system to fuse it into his body.
[Congratulations, Master, for the successful fusion. You have obtained the starlight-tier ability, Lost Direction, Storm, and Navigation Divine Kingdom.]
[Starlight-tier ability: the Lost Direction]
[Effect: has the ability to change the direction of anything or even creatures. It can only be activated by touches.]
[Starlight-tier ability: Storm and Navigation Divine Kingdom.]
[Effect: summons a s.h.i.+p that is entangled by a storm. It can collide with the enemy and cause large-scale damage. It can also be used to escape at a breakneck speed.]
After fusing with Agares’ body, Watson was like the last time he ate the remains of the G.o.d of Poison. That instantly gave him the ability to control his direction.
After learning through King Landhar III that the G.o.ds desired the thing in his body and wanted to hunt him, he had been looking for a way out. That was the way; he had found it. If the G.o.ds wanted to pursue him, he had to see them personally. That would give him the chance to fuse with them. The G.o.ds were like hunters who hunted him, and at the same time, they were the prey he hunted.
“Watson, do you think that you have a chance of escaping from the two of us?”
Gaia and Diana, the two G.o.ddesses, had disdainful expressions on their faces, but there was no contempt in their eyes. Without batting an eyelid, they had already moved to Watson’s front and back, blocking Watson’s escape routes.
“Not alone. Master still has my help.” Nia walked to Watson’s side and extended her right hand in the direction of Gaia. “Molecular acceleration.”
Swoos.h.!.+
A beam of light that could pierce through the world appeared and hit Gaia’s body, sending Gaia flying far away. After that, Nia reached out to grab Watson, and with a flash, they left the place.
“You want to run?”
Diana spread the dragon wings on her back, and numerous dense purple lightning bolts appeared on her body, causing her to turn into a stream of light and chase after them. That was because she possessed the Purple Lightning Dragon’s body, so not only could she use the power of a G.o.d, but she could also use the power of the dragon.
With the support of divine power and the power of the dragon, Diana quickly arrived behind Nia. Just as she was about to catch up to Nia, Watson turned around and stretched his hand toward her. “Lost direction.”
Dense arrowheads appeared on Diana’s body, pointing in different directions. Each arrowhead emitted light, causing Diana’s body to spin in mid-air. Her face was filled with confusion. “That is Agares’ ability. It’s not strange to use that thing to control Agares’ power, but Agares’ power needs to come into contact with a person before it can take effect. Watson, when did you touch me?”
Thinking quickly, Diana recalled the time when she and Gaia appeared. Watson had fused the divine power that they had left in Agares’ body, and the corner of her lips curled up. Was that the time?
“Break him!”
Diana was stopped in her tracks, and Gaia’s voice suddenly came from the sky. Gaia descended from the sky, her arms charred black and emitting green smoke. She had forcefully blocked Nia’s attack, and as Gaia descended, her body grew bigger and bigger. She became a giant, thousands of meters tall. Her figure covered the entire sky. Her finger was as big as a house. She whistled and went toward Watson.
“Storm and Navigation Divine Kingdom!”
Watson’s feet paused. An illusory s.h.i.+p made of starlight appeared. It was surrounded by a storm. It brought him and Nia and turned into a streak of light. They flew into the distance and dodged Gaia’s attack.
“D*mn it, if we delay any longer, the other G.o.ds will come. Quickly chase after them. ” Diana summoned a dark red moon and used the light of the dark red moon to melt all the arrowheads on her body. She quickly chased in Watson’s direction.
In the sky, there were two streaks of green and dark red light chasing after each other. The speed of the green light was obviously faster, and it quickly pulled away from the dark red light behind it. Just as it was about to shake off the dark red light behind it, something happened.
Boom!
“Watson, I’ve found you. Where are you going?”
With a loud bang, a black hole exploded in the sky. Countless blood-red arrows fell from the sky, covering the direction where Watson had escaped. The sharp arrows were covered with a smell that made people go crazy, and it made Watson’s face turn ugly. He stopped the advance of the Storm and Navigation Divine Kingdom. He flipped the divine kingdom over and used it as a s.h.i.+eld to block the attacks of the blood-red arrow rain.
After the blood-red arrow rained down on them, Ares’ figure appeared in the sky. He held a longbow in his hand. The bright red wings on his back made him look like a red angel who spread death and war.
“It looks like Agares has returned to the divine realm. Watson, I am deeply impressed by your strength. You are able to kill a G.o.d in such a short period. However, that will be all for now.”
Not far away from Ares, Baldur’s figure also appeared. With a calm expression, Watson continued to mutter to himself.
“There are four G.o.ds. Other than Sidi, all the other G.o.ds are here. Sidi might also be hiding somewhere! Even with Nia’s help, it’s not easy for me to escape from those four G.o.ds. Furthermore, after the incident with Agares, they will be more careful when dealing with me. What should I do? Should I summon the Dragon Kings to help me?”
After he transformed them, the Dragon Kings were all promoted to Dragon G.o.ds, especially Nidhogg, who was far more powerful than ordinary Dragon G.o.ds. If he summoned Nidhogg, he might be able to fight against the four G.o.ds. However, the price for doing so was that Nidhogg would be rejected by the world and enter the divine realm. Watson was calculating the gains and losses in his heart. Suddenly, he saw the four G.o.ds surrounding him split into two teams to go against him.
Gaia, Diana, and Ares were on the first team, while Baldur was on another team by himself.
“What are you doing?”
Baldur had occupied Julius’ body. His slender eyebrows were raised, and the corner of his mouth dropped.
“Baldur, I’m sorry. Everyone knows that you are the strongest among us, and you also hold the race chess piece. If we let you survive until the end, none of us will be your match. So, while there are still enough of us, we will eliminate you first,” Diana said with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Oh? Even Ares joined you guys. When did you guys discuss this? I didn’t even know about it. Did you guys discuss it when I came here alone?”
Baldur muttered to himself, “It doesn’t matter anymore. No matter when you guys discuss it, the result is the same. You guys can attack together.”
“Baldur, even if you are the leader of the seven G.o.ds, you will not be able to withstand the attacks from the three of us. You are too proud.”
Ares laughed coldly. Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly hit in the face. His nose broke. No one saw the attack. However, Ares was sent flying backward as fresh blood splattered in the air.
Then, Baldur’s figure disappeared from where he stood. He reappeared where Ares had just stood and slowly retracted his fist. “Let’s fight then. Ares, you talk too much nonsense.”
“Gaia, let’s attack together,” Diana shouted.
The huge, dark red moon in the sky shone down with thousands of rays of light, trapping Baldur like a cage. Meanwhile, Gaia maintained her huge body. Her hands were pressed together as if she was swatting a fly—she slapped Baldur heavily.
“I am the G.o.d of Light, and I control all the light in the world. Moonlight is also a type of light. Isn’t using moonlight to deal with me just showing off?” Baldur spoke indifferently.
When the dark red moonlight poured down from the sky fell, they were all repelled. At the same time, he stretched his arms outward and supported himself on both sides of his body. Clas.h.i.+ng with Gaia’s hands, a loud bang burst out, forcefully blocking Gaia’s attack.
One G.o.d against three G.o.ds—Baldur still displayed an invincible demeanor.
