Chapter 1478: Blade of Destiny’s End
The stars circled in the air briefly before entering the female corpse.
The female corpse began to move.
Foresight Deity, Poison Deity, and Shadow Deity spoke up all at once: “G.o.ddess of Fate, Lachesis, we welcome you into the mortal realm”
The female corpse’s eyes remained closed as she began laughing out loud.
She spoke with a weak voice: “This little Star Force is far from enough for me to descend, I require more power!”
Poison Deity and Shadow Deity exchanged glances, they both acted at once to grab a cl.u.s.ter of stars and put them into the female corpse’s forehead.
“Ah… what pitifully feeble power, but it is just enough for me to descend”
The female corpse slowly opened her eyes and sat up.
Her body began to change, becoming more slender, more voluptuous, her facial features also became more beautiful, even her long hair was slowly turning black.
“Tell me the latest situation” the girl coldly said.
Foresight Deity reported everything that happened recently.
s.p.a.ce had been sealed; flying was now impossible.
The natural food chain had been completely cut off, living creatures were growing increasingly spa.r.s.e.
Most importantly——-
“You said that my younger sister doesn’t recognize you at all?” the girl asked.
“That’s right, she seemed to have forgotten everything——– we’ve also forgotten what happened last night, but she had clearly forgotten a lot more, including the Pantheon itself” Foresight Deity said.
“Venerable Lachesis, what should we do now?” Poison Deity asked.
The girl didn’t answer them and instead lightly pressed her hand into the void of s.p.a.ce.
She chanted: “By the power of Fate alive! By my younger sister’s name and my own, please distribute the power of my older sister Clotho between us two”
The void of s.p.a.ce remained silent.
Nothing occurred.
Lachesis waited for a while and suddenly laughed out loud:
“Ahahahaha! Atropos did not coordinate with my Fate technique; she had indeed forgotten everything!”
She laughed to the point where her entire body trembled. After a long while, she reached her pure white hands towards Foresight Deity.
Foresight Deity hurriedly went forward and gently helped her stand up.
“Your excellency, what does this mean?” Foresight Deity respectfully asked.
“Clotho is dead, her powers had been returned to Mysticism, so at the summon of my younger sister and my own name, we would be able to divide her power evenly between ourselves. However, my younger sister did not respond to my call” Lachesis replied.
“So, she had really lost all of her memories?” Poison Deity asked.
“Indeed” Lachesis was in a good mood, so she explained without any qualms: “Once I kill my pitiful younger sister, the power of we three sisters will all gather in my hands!”
“Then her memories——”
“Would also naturally belong to me!” Lachesis confirmed.
Foresight Deity sighed in relief.
Regardless of the details, it was fine as long as this matter wasn’t affected.
He grabbed another handful of stars from the void of s.p.a.ce and lightly placed it into the male corpse.
The male corpse opened his eyes and stood up.
He glanced at Lachesis, then respectfully greeted: “Lady Lachesis, your servant, Mystery Deity, is here to serve, please give your orders”
Lachesis pondered: “It is currently too hard to find a single living person, we’re not going to try and find more corpses to summon the others——- we’re going to find my younger sister as soon as possible and kill her in order to find out what exactly had happened”
“Understood, then I’ll take flight to discern where she is exactly” Mystery Deity said.
Foresight Deity quickly stopped him: “Wait a moment—— the sky had been blocked out, s.p.a.ce had also been sealed, it’s currently impossible to fly”
“Can’t we destroy the seal?” Mystery Deity asked.
“This was a Spatial seal created by all the Law Behemoths, it’ll be very hard to destroy by force and most likely take all of our powers”
Lachesis’s eyebrows became knitted and said: “Even after they’ve died, the Law Behemoths still left such a seal behind, how detestable”
Right as she said that, she suddenly appeared startled and muttered:
“No, that can’t be right…”
“What can’t be right?” Foresight Deity asked.
Lachesis replied: “The Law Behemoths were originally the manifestations of the world spirit and its Origin power, one Law Behemoth might not be able to represent the world, but if all the Law Behemoths had banded together to form this Spatial seal, it must have been the will of the world itself”
“Could it have had something to do with the occurrence last night?” Foresight Deity asked.
“Mystery Deity, what do you think?” Lachesis asked.
Mystery Deity gazed towards the depths of the sky and replied: “I can sense something existing above the sky, but this seal had restrained everything within, including my power, so I have no way to clearly discern what was outside”
Everyone fell silent.
They didn’t think that Lachesis would be able to discern this abnormality immediately after she arrived.
Something must be out there——
Mystery Deity had also confirmed this.
Lachesis slowly paced around and contemplated for a while before declaring: “It seems we need to investigate this, it’s best that we destroy the seal right now”
“Then let’s begin” Foresight Deity replied.
The five Deities took distance from one another and stood in a circle.
From the void of s.p.a.ce, a great amount of Star Force began to surge and gather towards them.
As time went by, the starlight was growing increasingly brighter, eventually forming a visible wave of power that howled as it formed across the sky.
This Star Force included the power of all the Laws of the world!
“Foresight Deity, this is quite a ma.s.s of power already, if we toss it out, will it be enough to destroy the seal?” Lachesis loudly asked.
“Not enough, that seal was created by the power of all the Law Behemoths!” Foresight Deity loudly replied.
Lachesis appeared impatient and shouted: “Gather!”
The continuously surging Star Force began to descend and converge in the middle of the five Deities, manifesting as a transparent dark blue sphere.
The sphere hovered towards Lachesis.
She held the sphere tightly in her hand and shouted: “Fate weaves the beginning and ending of all!”
A ma.s.s of darkness slowly expanded behind her back, forming innumerable black threads that gradually weaved into a featureless humanoid face with a wide-opened mouth.
Lachesis placed the Star Force sphere into the dark humanoid face.
「 Hm… 」
The dark humanoid face chewed the Star Force, then uttered a profound sigh.
Lachesis chanted: “By my name of Lachesis, I hereby summon the Blade of Destiny’s End to cut apart this sky that seals it all”
The dark humanoid face stopped chewing, turned to Lachesis, then uttered a single word:
「 Can 」
Instantly, the dark humanoid face vanished without a trace, leaving a black wooden knife handle in Lachesis’s hand.
There was nothing above the handle, a knife without a blade.
Lachesis held the bladeless knife and swung towards the sky.
This looked incredibly laughable, but none of the other four Deities showed any hint of smiling, only indescribably wariness.
After that swing, the wooden knife handle vanished without a trace as well.
Lachesis’s expression was pale as she exhaled and said:
“It is done”
The four Deities all looked at the sky.
Only to see numerous black cracks appearing high in the sky.
A clear ‘tick tick’ sound could be heard from far above as if something was shattering.
Suddenly, all the Deities felt it at once.
Shadow Deity lightly leapt into the air and hovered.
“The Spatial seal had been destroyed” he reported to Lachesis.
Lachesis’ expression didn’t change at all as she ordered: “Mystery Deity, take a look at what’s above the sky, then find any traces you can of my younger sister”
No answer.
Lachesis turned towards Mystery Deity, only to see that he was blankly staring at the sky with a fearful expression.
The words that Lachesis was about to speak were swallowed back in.
“What’s the matter?” she cautiously asked.
Mystery Deity’s body started s.h.i.+vering as he instinctively said: “Run… hurry and run…”
He abruptly snapped out of his shock and shouted: “Lachesis! We need to hurry and find somewhere to hide!”
…
At the same time.
The ruins of the Pantheon.
Inside the dark tunnel.
Gu Qing Shan’s group continued to travel along the tunnel while observing the murals.
—–and yet, they still couldn’t see who the enemy of the Deities was.
Suddenly, they all appeared startled.
“Huh? I think the Spatial seal had just been released” Shroud commented.
Reneedol lightly leapt upward and hovered in the air.
Scarlet also took flight and excitedly said: “Finally, we can fly again!”
Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly before tossing a cl.u.s.ter of black flames forward.
The black flames turned into a black dog that sat in front of him.
“Yes, is it time for drinking already?” Black Hound wagged its tail towards him.
“No, Black Hound, I want you to do something” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Tell me master”
“There are a few especially small holes on the ceiling, I think they were most likely made as ventilation and were connected to the surface. I want you to turn into black flames and fly outside to see what happened”
“That’s very simple” Black Hound nodded.
It flew up and turned into a cl.u.s.ter of black flames as it headed up the tunnel.
Halfway there, the black flames seemed to have been scared by something as it rolled back to the ground and turned back into Black Hound in front of Gu Qing Shan.
“Grooo… groooo…” Black Hound began to growl in a low tone, all of its fur was standing on their ends.
Gu Qing Shan felt tense and hurriedly asked: “What’s the matter? What happened?”
Black Hound continued to stare towards the ceiling of the tunnel with a fearful look in its eyes.
Gu Qing Shan took out a bottle of strong liquor, opened the bottle, then put it in front of Black Hound.
Black Hound drank the entire bottle at once and finally felt a bit more at ease.
“What exactly happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked with a gentle voice.
Black Hound exhaled a small bit of flames and spoke in a low voice: “Master Rhode, I want you to ready yourself”
“Speak” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Black Hound looked straight at him and slowly said: “All living beings on the surface are dead”
