Dekan's Punishment for the Chaos God

"This dual-structured world is far more stable than the single world originally created by the gods."

"It is a better world for both living beings and gods."

"However, things did happen later that even the gods hadn't anticipated when they were reshaping this world."

Dekan paced back and forth in the temple, looking at the murals with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Not only ordinary living beings, but even gods make mistakes.

But it is precisely because of mistakes that we can prove correctness; the relationship between them is like that between the Shadow World and the real world.

Such as the sequel to the myth of the Holy Kingdom.

The gods were ultimately too engrossed in what was, to them, a world that was merely a game.

They chose to fight for the creatures they loved.

This battle was far more dangerous than any of their previous time-wasting fights, and even they couldn't understand why they would choose to fight so desperately to protect or destroy these beings.

However, in creating and constantly transforming the world, the gods have invested too much of their power.

They are no longer as strong as they were at the beginning, nor do they want to be unable to kill other gods like they were at the start.

These beings, born miraculously from the implication of His power, gradually evolved to possess the ability to kill Him.

The creatures each chose their own god and allies, and began an endless battle against the gods...

Countless ages passed before this game, initiated by the gods, finally came to an end.

Only one lonely god remained until the very end.

She is the goddess of destiny, and the victor of this game.

"It was incredibly fortunate for all living beings; the final victor was the benevolent Goddess Tike, but for her, the victory in this game brought only sorrow."

Dekan lowered his eyes slightly as he said this.

Whenever he thinks of the god who saved him, he feels indescribable emotions.

"Her final choice was to use her remaining power to repair this ravaged world as much as possible, sending living beings to reincarnation so they could be reborn, while her own existence gradually disappeared from this world."

"Therefore, it is well-deserved that she will be praised by later generations as the creator goddess."

"However, this is not the end, but the beginning of another disaster."

Dekan paused here, looking down at the Word Spirit God Apotos, his gaze seemingly able to see through his soul.

Apotos closed his eyes in pain and shook his head.

It doesn't mean affirming or denying anything.

Rather, it was a defeat after the truth was revealed.

He knew that Dekan had understood everything.

The Chaos God have always considered themselves deities.

However, they were not the true gods of the Age of Gods.

For them, the greatest harm is nothing more than revealing the truth they wanted to cover up.

"With the end of the Age of Gods, a serious hidden danger was left for posterity."

Dekan continued speaking calmly.

"How could the wars of the gods not be considered a glorious chapter in history?"

Since it is a glorious history, it is impossible for it not to be automatically recorded by the Shadow World.

Moreover, it will evolve into a Shadow World of unprecedented scale!

This record is something none of the gods could have imagined when they created the Shadow World.

Because when they created the world, they never imagined their eventual demise.

However, the fact is that this history was recorded in the Shadow World, and the image of the Age of Gods' fall and war was projected into the tenth-tier Shadow World [Heaven-Piercing World-Destroying Battlefield]!

"This Chaos God Realm is a projection of the original divine realm."

"And the defeated gods will also be recorded and projected into the Shadow World, forming part of the Shadow World itself."

"Unfortunately, the Shadow World itself was created by the gods. Even if it operates at its maximum capacity, it cannot project real gods, let alone recreate a great battle between many gods."

"Therefore, the central hub of the Shadow World could only, as far as possible, follow the operational logic designed for it by the original gods, thus giving birth to a tenth-order Shadow World. The false gods projected within the tenth-order Shadow World are you Chaos God."

When Dekan uttered the words "false god," the Word Spirit God, Apotos, trembled, as if his most painful wound had been reopened.

"It's ironic, really. The Shadow World existed to make the real world last longer, but because of the deaths of the gods, such a flawed Shadow World was born: the [Heaven-Piercing World-Destroying Battlefield]. Perhaps this is the resentment of the defeated gods."

"In a sense, the existence of you Chaos God represents the evil of the gods, while the Goddess Tike is the last remaining good deity in the world."

Apart from the God of Destiny, all the gods who perished back then were recorded by the Shadow World's central hub and transformed into the Chaos God in the [Heaven-Piercing World-Destroying Battlefield].

"And the reason why you, these flawed creations projected into a flawed Shadow World, are so eager to prevent this Shadow World from being completed is itself pathetic."

At this point, Dekan couldn't help but chuckle.

The laughter was like a knife to the Word Spirit God, as if it could pierce his heart directly from his ears; he just wanted to shut off his hearing.

"You only wish to erase the history of many worlds, so that no living being on earth will know your origins, and then you will write the history of all worlds yourselves. In this way, you can use your overwhelming power over other beings to rightfully call yourselves true gods."

"But what's laughable is that you still can't bear to destroy the divine murals in the Chaos God Realm. It's not just because you're arrogant, believing that no living being could leave alive after arriving here. It's also because you're unwilling to admit the fact that you're deceiving yourself."

"You still consider yourselves the true gods of the Age of Gods, you want to claim this history as your own, and you regard the Chaos God Realm as your pride. If even everything in the Chaos God Realm is erased, you will lose the foundation for your self-deception."

Listen to every word Dekan says.

The Word Spirit God's eyelids trembled, as if something inside his body had been torn apart from within. As the words cut into the depths of his heart like sharp blades, despair shone in his eyes, as if the whole world was Taunt him.

"... Your resounding victory, the destruction of this Chaos God Realm, will end everything."

The Word Spirit God finally spoke.

His voice, however, seemed to have lost its original weighty, almost magical quality, and had become weary, like that of a lost soul.

He knew that this human had left him here to see him destroyed, inside and out.

Then, simply destroying this Chaos God Realm in front of the Chaos God, shattering their illusions, would be the best torture for them.

Dekan was slightly surprised upon hearing the words of the Word Spirit God Apotos.

It seemed that this Chaos God was quite perceptive, knowing that he had been talking to him for so long just to see him break down.

Indeed, destroying the Chaos God Realm in front of the Chaos God would allow them to torment it even further.

This is also a necessary condition for clearing the [Heaven-Piercing World-Destroying Battlefield].

But Dekan felt that this Word Spirit God thought too badly of him; he wasn't the kind of person who liked to cause trouble.

"No, why would I want to destroy this place?"

Dekan smiled broadly.

"This place is so beautiful, why can't I let every world know the story of the Chaos God, and then preserve this world for people to visit? That way, your pathetic deeds can be nailed to the pillar of shame and tortured for eternity. Wouldn't that be better?"
