Chapter 477: Star, the Emergency Meeting (2)

Are you really planning on becoming a Celestial King? Michael asked, faint anger in his voice.

The emergence of a Celestial King fatigued everyone in a Worldline. Having experienced it firsthand, and had been making sure that no new Celestial King would be born after Bestla and Odin.

Although the Nine Heavens, who could be considered Celestial King candidates, had been running wild, none had emerged victorious in this power struggle yet. However, Tiamat was now trying to put an end to this stalemate.

It is the most efficient way to handle this, Tiamat said with a shrug.

Forget about us. Do you seriously think the other Nine Heavens would agree with this?

Tiamat looked right into Michaels eyes. That is my business. Im asking for your and Satans decision right now.

At that moment, Michael realized what was going on. She has already discussed this with Loki.

Chang-Sun and Loki from the United Army would support Tiamat. If Michael and Satan chose to support her as well, Tiamat would have the majority of the Nine Heavens votes. Tongtian Jiaozhu had always claimed to be neutral, and Sun Wukong had vanished long ago. Hence, their votes were as good as excluded. Considering Bel-Marduk had been working with Chang-Sun recently and Durga was acquainted with Chang-Suns subordinates

Michael shut his eyes. She practically has the unanimous decision.

No one could stop Tiamat now.

Does that mean she doesnt even need me and Satan?

Michael quickly looked around, finding Loki grinning at him. He had finally realized the true goal of this emergency meeting. Rather than finding ways to stop , it was to root out anyone who would threaten Tiamats reign. Should Michael and Satan oppose her, Tiamat would immediately take action under the pretext of punishing those who insisted on prioritizing their vested interests in the face of imminent .

After that and would be destroyed too. They were at Nastrond, the central divine ground of . Many of the United Armys forces were already here.

Michael gritted his teeth. This is why I didnt want to come here!

Did he have any chance of victory if he started a fight here? Could he even flee successfully? Perhaps Durga was sitting in the outermost part of the room to block any attempts to escape.

Decide, Tiamat pressed Michael, her Dragon eyes staring daggers at him.

Michael couldnt even wipe down the sweat rolling down on his forehead. However, before he could speak, Satan suddenly stood up, catching Tiamats and Michaels attention.

Ill secede, he declared.

Secede?

Ill drop out from our alliance with and join your side.

Satan, you! Michael screamed, appalled, but Satan seemed to have zero intention of going back on his words.

Tiamat grinned. Is that your decision or s?

Consider it both.

Didnt all seven of you have to agree before making that kind of decision?

I can handle them. Satan licked his lips, flicking his scarlet tongue. So spare me.

Having come to the same conclusion as Michael, Satan threw in his towel. When Tiamat nodded curtly, Satan snickered and stood behind her. Tiamat looked at Michael again, silently urging him to make a decision. She clearly wasnt going to listen to any excuses.

I want to set a term. Michael clenched his fists.

What is it?

Divine Twilight Give me his head, Michael demanded with difficulty.

Dumbstruck, Loki and Bel-Marduk burst into laughter.

Nevertheless, Michael stood his ground, his eyes turning bloodshot. Gabriels prophecy was right. befell on our Worldline because

Because of Twilight?

Yes! Michael sounded dead serious. Gabriel is the only one who can observe the Outer Universe and law of Causality within . Her ability showed us that the Outer Celestial will just keep going after Twilight. Give me his head, and the United Army will have the full cooperation of . That would be enough to stop .

Rummmble!

Tap!

Chang-Sun quietly landed amid powerful hot gales. He then created a raging storm.

Pzzz, pzzz!

Lightning sparks flew up from Chang-Sun, an indication that he could still go on. Having absorbed the [Forbidden Fruit], he had gained a connection to the Great Universes mana stream, which now served as his infinite source of divine power. Perkwunos called it the Celestial Pathway, the level where one was connected to the sky and ground and could freely use their power.

Pzzzz!

Perkwunos slowly walked out from the subsiding clouds of dust, not even a scratch on him. He looked the same as before, except his eyes sparkled with interest now instead of lethargy.

Over a hundred times, huh? Youve finally graduated from being a pushover.

Chang-Sun had managed to parry away Perkwunos Rdus attacks over one hundred times. He had also successfully landed a counterattack, as evidenced by the very small scratch on Perkwunos cheek. Since eating the [Forbidden Fruit], Chang-Sun had made remarkable progress.

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

Supreme sacred light and spun around Chang-Sun, creating a sunset-colored Giant, which also served as another proof of his progress. He had acquired a deep understanding of and could now use [Bestlas Poem] proficiently with the help of his past reincarnations memories and accomplishments.

How much of the [Forbidden Fruit] have you absorbed? Perkwunos asked.

Chang-Sun glanced down.

[Current progress: 26.7%]

About twenty-seven percent, Chang-Sun answered.

Over a quarter of it, huh? Once youre done, your will also be complete. At that point, youll be able to call yourself a true Outer Celestial, Perkwunos explained. Chang-Sun would be comparable to him and Hsan by that time.

However, Chang-Sun seemed to have a different question in mind. By that time

Hmm?

Can I absorb you too?

Perkwunos eyes widened. After a moment, he burst into laughter. Hahahaha! I gave you an inch but you want to take a mile! Taking Rdus wasnt enough?

Chang-Sun nodded. Youre my Original and first past reincarnation. I feel like I need to absorb you and Odin to complete myself.

Do you also plan to merge with Hsan, Bel-Marduk, and our versions in other Worldlines?

Chang-Suns silence was all the answer Perkwunos needed.

Its possible. Perkwunos laughed with sincerity, making Chang-Suns lips tremble. Of course, youll have to overpower us first.

Chang-Sun bowed to express his gratitude for taking care of him all this time. Perkwunos was another one of his version and his first past reincarnation, but to him, he was more like a teacher. Thank you for everything.

Thank me once youve stopped .

Im going to stop it using any means necessary. Ill come back afterward, Chang-Sun said. He then turned away.

Pzzzz!

Chang-Sun slowly disappeared into the wind to go back to the outside world and walk down a new path. Trying not to miss anything, Perkwunoss eyes remained glued to Chang-Sun until Chang-Suns lightning sparks completely disappeared.

Its going to become quiet again, Perkwunos muttered.

You seem to be looking forward to watching his journey.

Perkwunos smiled brighter as he turned in the voices direction. The same goes for you too, Hsan.
