Chapter 1441: Chapter 1398: Mountain Sea Whale Chapter 1441: Chapter 1398: Mountain Sea Whale “I truly have no such intentions,” Muria said with some helplessness. At His age, though His physique was increasingly robust, His companion was sufficiently satisfying to meet certain needs, so He really had no plans to engage in wilderness antics.

After all, Michaela was a goddess of Powerful Divine Force, and one could scour the world without finding many who could match Her. So even if He wished to, He basically couldn’t find one who would catch His eye.

“This time was just an accident, so please don’t overthink it.”

“If you wished it, I wouldn’t mind,” replied the goddess, whose temperament had softened a great deal due to her ascension, making her appear more elegant and precious. The twelve Light Wings behind her fluttered gently as light feathers scattered.

“No, I’ve had no such thoughts, nor have I ever made plans of that sort,” Muria responded without hesitation, clearly stating His stance.

“Is that so, then forget it.” Hearing Muria’s words, Michaela’s face remained expressionless as she shook her head, “Since you’re not interested, then I won’t insist.”

…

Within the vast Dark Void, a thick earth-yellow radiance spread out, and an Ancient Being with an Ancient countenance strode across the solid ground forged from His own power. As He passed, the temporarily shaped earth would immediately collapse into ruin, as if it had never existed.

“So this is what lies Beyond the World, truly desolate and lonely!” The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains traversed alone through the Void, gazing at the surrounding darkness, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

As a Deity, He had become accustomed to the splendor of the Material World, but the silence of the Void was a first for Him, and it felt very foreign.

“So there’s more than one world.”

After wandering aimlessly for who knows how long, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains saw a small world, remarkably similar to His Mother World but lacking its vast and wild aura. Driven by curiosity, He reached out towards this world.

Boom—
The Law Thunder, as robust as mountains, sparked around the palm of the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains, then struck down at Him without hesitation. Faced with a world’s retaliation upon being invaded, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains hastily retreated a distance, caught off guard.

“This is…rejecting me.” The Lord mused, observing the charred blackness on His palm. Within moments of contemplation, the scorched skin flaked away, revealing flesh as translucent as Yellow Jade once more.

In complete ignorance, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains continued to probe the small world He had stumbled upon in the Void, trying to invade it.

But without exception, each of His attempted intrusions was repelled by barriers woven from the world’s Laws, ending fruitlessly. Yet in a war of attrition against an Ancient God, the world paid a steep price.

Within the world, Plants withered, land desertified at an astonishing pace, sea water became murky, and schools of fish that once derived Nutrition from the sea began to die off in droves… the entire world weakened.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains’ most direct sensation was the diminishing resistance this world presented against Him, allowing for easy suppression.

“Is that all?”

After countless trials, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains finally extended His arm into the world’s interior, then withdrew it back into the Void, clutching a mountain.

Like having solved a difficult puzzle, a satisfied and contented smile appeared on the face of the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains, and then…He left. Leaving the world in shambles.

“…”

Due to the drastic reduction of life within the world, the newly manifested World Will formed an Avatar resembling the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains. It silently watched His retreating figure.

But the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains was too preoccupied to notice such changes. He sensed that some being had set its sights on Him. Though He hadn’t found anything yet, His wildly beating Spiritual Sense warned Him.

“Is it because of what I just did?”

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains quietly pondered over the reason He was being watched but soon discarded these futile thoughts, preparing to face the enemy instead.

In the long years that had passed, He had lost the Divine Artifact—Ten Thousand Realms Mountain—to Muria, and He had no other handy Divine Artifact besides the Armor on His body.

Hum—
A prolonged and clear humming resonated through the Void and upon hearing the sound, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains’ alertness skyrocketed, locking onto the existence that could no longer hold back from making an appearance.

The Surging Sea Tide slapped against the Void, with the blue sea spreading over the Void. The azure glow reflected for miles, and beholding the oddly familiar scene before Him, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains breathed a sigh of relief.

The emerging being was not weak, perhaps even stronger than Him, but thankfully not as formidable as He had imagined. He had worried that the wanderers in the Void were all beings like the Mother of All Things, but reality proved otherwise.

“It seems that even the Mother of All Things is considered a strong existence in the Void. I truly hope His Majesty the God King can deal with Her.”

Since the opponent was within His expectations, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains allowed His thoughts to wander a bit, thinking of His own Mother World,
“Of course, a mutual defeat would be ideal. However, the likelihood of that happening is almost nil; it’s utterly impractical.”

“Look at what I’ve found, an evil god without a Subordinate Army, and still a newborn in the path of evil gods.”

The teasing voice emerged along with a massive figure that appeared intermittently through the sea waves. What followed was an overwhelming pressure, akin to that of divine beings yet more profound than any deity’s.

“Evil god?”

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains looked around, finding no third presence other than themselves, and then he realized that, unless there was a mistake, he was the one the presence had referred to as an evil god.

But how could that be possible? Where did he fit the moniker of an evil god? His power was majestic and vast, without a hint of evil intent.

“It seems you still don’t understand, tsk, what a pity, becoming an evil god without even realizing it. Very well, before you fall, I shall make it clear to you! You should know why you’re going to fall.”

“Hmph!” Gazing at the entity before him that manipulated the ocean, strikingly similar to a sea god yet wielding even more complete power, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains felt somewhat disdainful as well as a touch of helplessness.

If the deity had not shed his former state, bumping into such a creature would result in only two outcomes. Either be docile as an aquarium fish under his care or be chopped and served as sashimi.

But the bravery of the past is no more; he no longer possessed that powerful divine force. Encountering such a toy in the Void, all he could do was bow his head and withdraw—even if the other party threatened his life, all he could muster was a light hum as a final act of defiance.

“Don’t be so unaccepting; did you, by any chance, attempt to invade other worlds beyond your Mother World?”

“…” The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains fell silent, recalling his recent exploratory actions with a sense of frustration. Had he known that such behavior would attract such an entity, he would have refrained.

“I didn’t invade. It was merely my first sighting of a world outside my Mother World, and I was curious, that’s all.”

Understanding the reason, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains attempted to defend his actions, but the attracted entity clearly wasn’t interested.

“Because of your curiosity, a world was close to collapse, compelling the World Will to wail, and thus I have appeared here. Now, you shall pay the price for your actions.”

“Is that your Mother World?” The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains was somewhat puzzled.

“Of course not.”

“Then why stop me? How does it concern you?”

“You still don’t understand, but since you’ve chosen the path of an evil god, I have no necessity to explain further.” The gigantic Whale God churned the Waves, and because of its immense size, the sea waves could not fully conceal its body.

“It seems this battle is unavoidable,” sighed the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains. He genuinely did not wish to fight. Although supremely confident in his defense skills, being thick-skinned didn’t mean he enjoyed being beaten.

Splash—
The blue glowing sea tide surged, after spreading for thousands of miles, then fiercely crashed down on the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains… And thus, a battle of epic proportions erupted.

The war had not been raging for long before the advantage between the two sides became clear, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains immediately fell into a defensive position, enduring the attacks, while the Whale God pressed on furiously.

But unfortunately, as a deity that had once mastered Earth-related Laws, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains indeed had formidable defense skills. So even though the Whale God had the upper hand in terms of power level, it still couldn’t defeat the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains.

“Big fish, it looks like you could use some help!”

An ominous voice echoed in the Void, signaling another presence in the battlefield that had no third party before. And from the voice’s content, it was clear that this newcomer was a foe, not a friend.

“Help would be fine, but there’s no extra share of the spoils for you.” The Whale God, who had the upper hand over the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains, responded coldly. There was no need for niceties with those looking to gain an easy advantage.

“Why would I lend a hand without reward? You surely must share a bit with me!” A vast metallic planet shattered the Void, and the majesty of Epics spread.

“Then just stay there nicely by the side and wait until I am done fighting before we discuss anything else.”

“With the speed you’re going, how long do you plan to fight?” The Mechanical Warfare God expressed dissatisfaction.

“If you think it’s too slow, then help out. But same as before, even if you do help, there’s no extra spoils for you.”

“Heh, his power doesn’t match yours at all, what use would you have for it?”

“Who says I can’t use it if it doesn’t match? What he commands are Earth-related Laws, and I can certainly learn from them.”

“Really? Fire with water, earth with sea, when have these ever been compatible?”

“You’ll see very soon. Then I won’t just be the Whale but the Mountain-Sea Whale!”

“Tch, you haven’t even secured your prize, and you’ve already decided on the name for your next form?”
