Chapter 1433: Chapter 1390: I am the God chosen by heaven Chapter 1433: Chapter 1390: I am the God chosen by heaven Boom!

The furious wind raged in the pristine Sky Dome, the violent Thunderfire surged within, and the monsters’ roars echoed amidst the tempest. The monsters born from ancient times showed no intention of restraining their ferocity as the Gods descended.

However, the deities present paid no attention to them. Their focus was on each other, watching the Lord of War and Storms who made the first move.

Seeing a deity had taken action, Jiuli, who had thought this arduous task was already completed and it was time to return home, glanced at Michaela again and had no choice but to brace himself and step forward.

There was no helping it; he was a student, and the other was his mentor’s wife. No matter how one put it, it was proper for him to step forward. There existed no reason for the elders not to fight while the younger generation spectated.

“Get out of the way!”

The Lord of War and Storms, in a particularly irritable mood, looked at the figure blocking him, surrounded by surging Elemental Tide, but whose essence was like a powerful demon of flesh, with some disdain.

The elderly, having lived through millennia, facing a young descendant, even if the latter was an equal being, felt a natural sense of pride.

This pride stemmed from their own strength and the heritage they had accumulated over the long years.

Of course, his arrogant posture was also significantly driven by the fact that he was coerced into this confrontation and hadn’t identified who had sabotaged him just moments before.

But now was not the time to dwell on this issue. Since he had already charged out, he could only continue forcibly; there was no turning back to ask, “Who pushed me?”

Should he ask such a question, his dignity would be utterly lost, and he might not survive the ridicule thereafter.

Thus, the Lord of War and Storms, slightly outmaneuvered, could only press forward with a frown, hoping that the group behind him would catch up.

“Step back.”

In the meantime, Jiuli, sensing the disdain from the formidable deity before him, swung his fist vigorously. As he moved, the Elemental Tide swirling around him also surged forward, overwhelingly advancing towards the Lord of War and Storms.

Moreover, behind him, dozens of flesh buds appeared and grew at an astonishing rate, then these buds writhed and transformed into dozens of sharp-pointed tails.

These tails rolled the massive Elements, solidifying into tails thousands of meters long, and directly stabbing towards the dignified ancient God.

“You’re no Hades!”

The Lord of War and Storms drew his Divine Artifact and lightly swung it forward. The oncoming, torrential Elemental Tide immediately collapsed.

Even the dozens of tails Jiuli thrust towards him were severed, however, no blood emerged as they weren’t part of his body but rather the prosthetic given to him by Muria.

Boom!

With just a single contact, Jiuli was sent flying by the battle-skilled deity, his body leaving a trail in the air before crashing into the Divine Kingdom’s ground, causing Muria who was nearby some heartache.

The previous Sun God Kingdom wasn’t hers, so no matter how loud the clamor, Muria didn’t feel a pinch. But now it was different; during the process of seizing the Sun deity position, she and her Divine Kingdom also inherited it.

Now, Muria felt extremely pained by the destruction caused by previous battles, especially because two Ancient Giant Beasts participated, recklessly unleashing their power, causing substantial damage to the Divine Kingdom.

The battle had only just begun, yet it had already inflicted severe destruction to her Divine Kingdom again.

Such a loss made Muria feel as if her heart was literally twitching, and she was tempted to step in and clear these beings away herself, but now was not the time for her to act.

“Hmph!”

Having repelled Jiuli, the Lord of War and Storms, Liji, snorted lightly and then stared at Muria, throwing the Divine Artifact in his hand without hesitation.

Holding two powerful divine positions, he lived quite comfortably in the world; although the potential of his dual positions was slightly inferior to a Supreme Divine Position, both suited for battle. Such a deity would scarcely be provoked by peers.

But facing someone like Muria, who wielded both the Sun and Death powerful divine forces, there was no way he would consider her inferior; he might completely disregard her.

Thus, whether for his own benefit or to eliminate future threats, it was essential to prevent Muria from becoming the true Sun God.

Despite Jiuli being driven back, another highly skilled goddess was guarding him. The Divine Artifact thrown at Muria was effortlessly blocked.

“Until when do you plan to sit back and watch? Do you intend to not act until Muria fully inherits the Supreme Divine Position of the Sun?”

Once again intercepted, the Lord of War and Storms did not continue his charge, as those behind him did not follow but merely watched Him assert Himself here.

“We arrived too late, the last moment should have been when the Sun God fell, and now it’s too late.”

A faint voice arose in the pure Sky Dome, and it was the Lord of Paleness, outlined by a few simple lines in the form of a large cross, who spoke. Under the somewhat irritated gaze of the Lord of War and Storms, this powerful deity actually departed.

“Lord of Paleness, are you foolish? Do you think that when Muria decides to strike at us later, she will spare you because you left today?”

Liji, forced to intervene, shouted angrily, but the regretfully departing Lord of Paleness didn’t attend to Him, seemingly having cleanly and decisively left.

“Heh, those who leave now, I will treat you as if you never came. But if you insist on taking action against me, then from today, we will be undying enemies.”

At this moment, Muria spoke up appropriately, displaying her stance.

“Heh, who would believe such words?” the Lord of War and Storms scoffed at Muria’s pledge, which carried no guarantee. Such tricks might fool children, but not even the slightly sensible ones.

“Cough, I just remembered, there’s some unfinished business in my Divine Kingdom. I was merely attracted here by the fluctuations from the fall of the Sun God, just to see what’s happening, without any intention of making a move against you. I’ll return now to address these matters.”

However, what was awkward for these powerful divine forces was that a few really believed in Muria’s promise and planned to leave, seemingly very trusting of Muria’s reputation.

“Um, I’ve also remembered. A saint has ascended within my Divine Kingdom, and I have to conduct an initiation ceremony for him!”

As one deity led the way in fleeing, quite a few other powerful deities also came up with similarly absurd excuses to leave, seemingly unwilling to involve themselves in this matter.

Their reasons for nonparticipation were plain—because their arrival was far too late; Muria has already reached the final stage. Even if they forcefully intervened, the likelihood of altering the outcome was slim. Given this, it was better to withdraw now, leaving a good impression on this foremost deity.

“Mountain Lord, I never expected, you would stay and insist on making your move against me.”

Muria looked at the three powerful divine forces who stayed, one of whom was naturally the Lord of War and Storms. He had already made his move, and it was too late to flee now.

However, one of the other two made a choice that surprised Muria, a choice that didn’t align with her impression of the conservative and steady Mountain Lord.

“We’ve established an Ally Contract. Do you disregard even this bit of camaraderie?”

“Muria, we are still allies. However, you made a mistake. You shouldn’t attempt to control two Supreme Divine Positions. That isn’t something you should do.”

The Mountain Lord, whose stature rivaled even the most rugged and majestic mountains, was quickly covered by a thick set of armor, which securely shielded every part of his body. When he donned the armor, his already massive physique grew several sizes larger.

“Just hand over any one of the divine positions, and we will remain allies as we initially were. I don’t need your divine position, just grant it to another existence apart from us.”

“I’ve misjudged you. Despite the long passage of time, your power has not diminished, your vitality has not waned, but your thoughts, your will has decayed. You no longer deserve to be my ally.”

Muria looked at the Mountain Lord with some disdain. She had come to understand his intentions; he only wished to maintain the current world order, familiar to him, afraid of change, terrified of transformation.

“It seems you’re unwilling to give up, Muria. You are making an enemy of the entire world!”

“It’s you who are the enemy of the world, decayed old thing. Don’t you understand why a deity like me would appear.”

Muria stood tall, and the spectral figure that appeared behind her due to the merging with the Divine Position of the Sun became more solid, blazing with radiant light and heat, replacing the former sun and spreading luminous brilliance in the pure Sky Dome.

“Back when the Mother of All Things invaded, you all fought for yourselves, looking out only for your own interests, and you were no match for them. In the end, the world could only be shattered to delay the inevitable.

“Now that the Mother of All Things has revived, planning to once again sweep across the world, this time, the world needs a strong leader to oversee everything, and I am here for this purpose.”

To become god above gods, king of all deities, after having acquired enough power, one naturally needs to pronounce the corresponding ideals, and “Aligning with the Mandate of Heaven” is undoubtedly most fitting.

“I am the god chosen by heaven, the destined king of all deities. Those who oppose me are confronting the world, defying the will of the world.”

Muria’s voice echoed through the pure Sky Dome, and the real truth, she knew all too well.
