Gaia (Continued)
Ming Ge, on the other hand, grasped the potential of humanity.
The Authority of the Human Emperor transcends time and space, bringing together the forces of the past, present, and future, easily thwarting their desperate counterattack.
Killing Ming Ge is not something a single god can do; it requires erasing humanity, which can transcend time and space, as well.
This final blow was indeed powerful. While its destructive range might not reach the continental level, it was certainly capable of wiping out a significant portion of the human population on a large portion of the continent.
From a broader, more macroscopic perspective, one can see that the collective consciousness of humanity, transcending time and space, is subtly rippling.
But it was just a small splash.
"Goodbye."
Ming Ge smiled and waved, and then seven divine souls floated over and were devoured by Ming Ge.
"So you're also afraid that the gods will be swallowed up by the Dungeon..."
Looking at the seven souls, Ming Ge smiled and said, "That's good news."
Gods can be resurrected because their souls still exist.
However, if the Dungeon devours divine souls, it can give birth to monsters with true divine combat power, rather than special attack monsters like Antares.
In fact, Ming Ge's skill "God-Slaying Hero" has a special attack strength that even surpasses that of Antares, but it lacks Andaris's characteristic of being unaffected by divine power.
"Let's begin... Ultimate Barrier Magic: Starlight."
Ming Ge murmured and absorbed the seven evil gods into the Starry World.
Just as fairies can create their own unique little worlds, Raiden Shogun's lightning and Shana's fire, they can even use these as a basis to nurture powers.
Using the magic stone as a base, Ming Ge created the Starry Sky Small World, a star container born from World Egg.
After absorbing the souls of those gods, these souls entered the Starry World, and subsequently, a total of seven stars began to shine.
The Starry World, created with the Authority of the Human Emperor as its foundation and the God-Eater Jade as its prototype, possesses the ability to contain such power.
Gods are beings that extend from their respective powers, so Ming Ge devoured the soul of a god, obliterated it, and then extracted its powers.
To prevent any incompatibility, the divine power within these evil gods is transformed into nourishment after their souls are destroyed.
In other words, once the transformation is complete, these stars will also possess immense power, just like the Judgment of Shamash.
Its carrying capacity is maintained by the combined Authority of the Human Emperor, the Soul Materialization, and the power of the stars themselves. Ming Ge has not yet been able to predict the upper limit. At least seven powers are just a fraction and cannot fill the stars at all.
"As expected, gods aren't very strong in the realm of the soul."
Ming Ge gazed at the powerless god and couldn't help but sigh.
Divine power is highly versatile, but that's all it is—even gods have things they excel at and things they're not good at.
In other words, the area under someone's jurisdiction is determined by their powers, and only in that area can their divine power be exerted to the greatest extent.
Storms, deception, revenge, sleep, Dream, death, ecstasy.
The most powerful of them was undoubtedly Dionysus, the god of wine. Although he was only a god of wine, he governed a wide range of fields.
Wine, brewing, intoxication, revelry, drama—these are all powers derived from wine, completely different from Soma, the reclusive deity.
"Should we go back... hmm?"
After defeating the evil gods and obtaining their divine power and authority, Ming Ge was about to leave when she sensed a powerful will.
"Dungeon?"
Ming Ge was a little confused, then saw the monsters retreat one by one, standing neatly on both sides, leaving a huge passage.
Is this an invitation?
Seeing that the Dungeon meant no harm, Ming Ge pondered for a moment, then stepped out.
The core levels are Dungeon 97-100. Ming Ge has only reached level 97 at most and hasn't been to any lower levels yet.
Now, he represents the Human Emperor, wielding the power of human reason, and is not afraid of any single deity.
After walking down 98 floors, Ming Ge saw a huge crystal.
"This crystal... is it part of the Dungeon's reincarnation system?"
Using the Authority of the Human Emperor to observe, the operation of the giant crystal was imprinted in Ming Ge's eyes.
Through the soul passages of the Dungeon, souls continuously enter and exit, engaging in a constant cycle of back and forth.
However, this was not Ming Ge's destination, so she continued forward following the will of the Dungeon.
We soon arrived at the 99th floor, which is essentially the same floor as the 100th floor.
The 100th floor is essentially Gaia herself, that is, the location of Gaia's divine soul.
In the infinite darkness, chaos and order cycled endlessly through birth and destruction. Finally, a colossal figure opened its eyes.
Preliminary estimates suggest it is over 100 meters tall, but it gives the impression of being infinitely long.
She was tall, voluptuous, and exuded maternal charm, yet she possessed a certain melancholy.
Long, straight, black hair reaching her waist—the very definition of "hair reaching the waist"—this was the second XP etched deep within Ming Ge's heart.
The moment he stepped into this place, Ming Ge's Authority of the Human Emperor transmitted hundreds of millions of years of information into Ming Ge mind.
A quick glance was enough for Ming Ge to understand the current situation.
"Ming Ge, that's my name."
Ming Ge introduced herself, then looked up at the enormous goddess with long, straight black hair.
She slowly raised her hand, cupping Ming Ge in her palm, and looked at him with gentle yet sorrowful eyes.
But her gaze gave Ming Ge the feeling that she wasn't looking at him, as if she were looking through him at something else.
Even without Ming Ge, it's clear that she wasn't looking at Ming Ge as an individual.
"Gaia, the primordial earth mother goddess, is also a past goddess abandoned by the world."
The look in her eyes when she looked at Ming Ge wasn't one of frantic hatred, but rather one of great complexity.
The two stared at each other silently for a long time before Gaia's lips parted slightly.
Her enormous size gave Ming Ge a very peculiar perspective; her half-open lips were incredibly alluring, and her adorable tongue could be seen through the darkness.
