Free Web NovelChapter 785: Chapter 43: Bluffing and the Price of Gain
This is, of course, an impossible thing.
Moreover, the Alien God currently doesn’t have a physical form yet, and nurturing the Imaginary Tree is to find a vessel that can descend to Earth. Naturally, it’s impossible to capture anyone now...
However, Gu Mo naturally understands this. He’s simply expressing an attitude.
After all, bluffing is very important and is a key part of dealing with matters after the fact.
If he were to show weakness now, Gu Mo would face even more troublesome situations. The vicious pack of wolves might really dare to charge forward and tear him apart... To withstand the enormous threat and pressure from Chaos, only to fall at the hands of these fellows and become a stepping stone, hastily exiting the stage, that would be truly frustrating.
So...
Like this moment, akin to the great sun patrolling the sky.
Awe-inspiring pressure, resplendent as a prison, endless.
In the face of such majesty of the heavenly sun, the light and heat of the fixed star are absolutely sufficient to deter the petty. Even with doubts, at such a level of existence, they will all make "rational" cautious choices, unwilling to risk their lives, fearing the other side can’t just kill them.
Divine Thought perceives, searches heaven and earth, but to no avail.
With a cold snort, the great sun in the sky slowly dissipates.
......
Replaced by the Wall of Light instead of the Storm Wall, in the Anomaly Zone of Britain.
"Damn it, this kind of power..."
Morgan sat on the throne, gripping the magic staff tightly, withdrawing her gaze, biting her teeth tightly, her knuckles turning a bit white with force. Sitting in the palace, she could clearly see everything happening outside and thus understood how terrifying that power was.
Succeeding appearances of high-dimensional beings, one after another...
The power they hold, the output range of their Authority, and even the pulse of great life itself are all stronger than the planet itself.
Even not knowing exactly what happened, even not understanding the reasons for the battle... but knowing the shocking scale this level of power implies, is enough.
"Even so, I must..."
Clutching the magic staff tightly, the genius magician of the Divine Domain, the highest-ranking fairy gritted her teeth.
"Protect Britain."
......
Nordic Anomaly Zone.
The era of icy flames after the Twilight of the Gods.
Similarly, the queen sits high on the throne, retracts her gaze with a heavy expression, looks at the gradually recovering sky, then looks at Ophelia in front of her.
The goddess ruling the remnants of the Norse Age of Gods, gazes at the woman with an eyepatch covering her right eye, sensing the intellectual beauty emanating from her, then her eyes subtly sweep over Siegfried, the servant behind her, calmly asking, "Do you know who those beings are?"
"I know..."
Ophelia answers seriously.
She just attended a meeting of the Concealers and has just returned. Besides learning that the captain was the first to be carelessly knocked out, she also came to know some hidden information.
For example, there are not only six Anomaly Zones but also one that has disappeared, not even on Earth, directly beyond control, with the Imaginary Tree that should have taken root on Earth also transferred to the Moon, where the True Country quietly overlooks the land from the moon.
And the recent fight with the machine god...
Was with that Emperor.
Taking a deep breath, Ophelia speaks, organizing her words: "First of all, the sun you are most concerned about, its identity should be Emperor Ming... Eh, according to Pan-Human History, it should be a famous historical figure from five hundred years ago..."
"Five hundred years ago?" The goddess on the throne raises her eyebrow.
So, a character from modern times?
Yet this transcendent power is too much; what modern historical figure, this is definitely something within the world view of the Age of Gods, nearly akin to a fantasy existence!
Standing behind Ophelia, Siegfried remains silent, only the eyes of his faceplate flickering with strange light. At the last moment, not long ago, he sensed the intense hostility. If that existence hadn’t been more inclined to target the Alien God...
Then it seemed as if, in the next instant—
The Power of the Fixed Star would indiscriminately descend on the Nordic Anomaly Zone, vaporizing everything into brine.
......
In the Atlantic Anomaly Zone.
"Please be patient... the Imaginary Tree in this Anomaly Zone is still a distance away from maturing..." Said the executor of the Alien God, wearing Kirei Kotomine’s body, looking to the sky helplessly, finally feeling the strong sense of existence seemingly gathering the entire world’s might dissipate.
"Moreover, it might not even have the opportunity to continue maturing..."
"That, that one..."
The priest just wanted to mention the name of that King of the Strange Realm, for even though the Sea of the Moon is out of control, they know exactly what kind of "IF" line that chunk of anomaly history corresponds to, and naturally know the Emperor’s name, but just as he was about to speak, he didn’t dare.
What is named, is perceived...
With mountains and seas blocking, reaching everywhere, near or distant...
Truly say that name, and it is feared that in the next moment instantly, his Spirit Base would be completely annihilated, the priest still does not plan to take risks, instead reluctantly explaining with this vagueness, "That one deliberately left the Atlantic Anomaly Zone, perhaps just to lure you out."
"..."
"..."
There was no response.
The Alien God also seemed to fall silent; the appearance of Chaos was unexpected, and the existence of that sun was entirely a variable.
