Invasion of the Outer Deities

After resolving the contamination on Roselle, he was escorted by his two children to the Republic of Intis.

Although two hundred years have passed, this place remains the environment he is most familiar with.

Although the system of the republic at this time was different from that he had established in the past, it was ultimately derived from it.

Under this system, Roselle can enjoy the greatest convenience.

To successfully navigate the Black Emperor Pathway, one needs not only suitable personal talent, but also, more importantly, a proper method to digest the Potion.

The best way is to enter politics, which can both elevate one's status and enhance one's power—why not?

With the help of the Church of Steam and Machinery, Roselle should be able to rise to a high position very soon.

Upon returning to the Republic of Intis, the first thing Roselle needs to do is take the bar exam to become a licensed Lawyer, in preparation for digesting his first Potion.

Although he was no longer Savant, the memories he had retained from before had not disappeared.

A Death Consul established a republic, a Black Emperor who restored the imperial system—most of the laws were in his hands, so the bar exam really meant nothing to him.

Roselle's life was back on track, and Kronos was satisfied.

With the help of Bernadette and the entire Church of Steam and Machinery, it is believed that Roselle will soon be able to return to his rightful Sequence.

With this reliable ally, Kronos will be able to have an easier time.

After finishing his business, Kronos returned directly to his Divine Kingdom.

There is one downside to becoming a god: you become completely unfree.

If Stiano hadn't died, things would have been fine; there would have been no need for him to fill the gap himself.

But since Stiano died at his hands, a gap has appeared in the defense, and therefore he must take responsibility for it.

Adam is better off. He, or the True Creator, didn't need to be here in the first place, so he can still stay on Earth freely.

With Kronos's return, Amanises was relieved and no longer needed to help look after things.

About a month passed peacefully, until one day Amanises took the initiative to find Kronos.

She asked, "The final battle for the Lord of the Mysteries may be about to begin. Would you like to go and watch?"

Amanises went to great lengths to cultivate Klein into a Lord of the Mysteries, and always kept Antigonus under his control.

Now that Klein has made his move against Antigonus, the final battle is about to begin.

After such a long period of digestion, Amon must have stabilized and won't let Klein continue to grow stronger, so it's time to make a move.

Kronos smiled and said, "Of course, I've watched Klein grow up, so naturally I want to witness it."

He then asked, "Has Amon contacted Leodero and the others recently?"

Amanises replied, "Not even once."

This answer made Kronos frown.

If there hasn't been a single contact, it means Amon has Consciousness that his allies have let him down.

If that's the case, then what gave Amon the courage to launch this decisive battle?

Almost all the True God were on Klein's side; how could he possibly win?

But Amon isn't stupid; he can't really gamble with his life, that would be too reckless.

After thinking for a long time, Kronos still couldn't come up with a reasonable answer.

"Forget it, I'll just play it by ear," Kronos said, then prepared to go with Amanises to watch the battle.

At that very moment, an extremely powerful aura rose from the other side of the defensive line.

This imposing aura momentarily stunned Kronos and Amanises, but they quickly recovered.

Kronos and Amanises were instantly enraged.

In order to stall these True God, Amon actually chose to cooperate with the Outer Deity!

Indeed, as long as the Outer Deity show an invading attitude, none of these True God will leave.

The defenses were originally very solid, but if even one point is breached, it can easily fall apart.

If the Outer Deity were to actually breach the defenses, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even Amanises, who has devoted the most effort to this, would never abandon the defense for Klein.

After all, she trained Klein to deal with the Outer Deity; she couldn't put the cart before the horse.

Kronos calmed his anger and then said, "I now hold the power of time and Fate. Do you have the opportunity to help you hold out for a while?"

If possible, Amanises could escape temporarily.

Even if Amon is truly powerful, and his Error and Door Pathway are bizarre, he should still be no match for Amanises.

With the help of the Outer Deity, Amon has stalled everyone, and he will no longer have any allies, so this battle might still be going to be interesting.

But Amanises said, "No, you can't stop them."

"I've always had to face two opponents at the same time, and you're a new god, so they're likely trying to find a breakthrough with you, so you're under a lot of pressure yourself."

Amon only wanted the Outer Deity to exert pressure, but the Outer Deity naturally wanted to attack directly.

Kronos is the most likely to have problems. He's a newcomer, and even if he's skilled enough, his teamwork might not be smooth.

Therefore, Kronos may face the most opponents.

In this situation, if Kronos were to also assume Amanises ' responsibilities, it would be difficult to guarantee that no problems would arise.

Just as the two were struggling with their decision, a voice rang in their ears.

"I'll take responsibility for the trouble Amon caused."

After the sound rang out, a Corpse Cathedral swept across the Astral World, blocking the Darkened Heaven.

Adam actually didn't want to get involved in the conflict between Amon and Klein.

Out of fatherly and brotherly affection, he should help Amon, but he also knew that Amon was not a good choice.

Furthermore, since he was an ally of Kronos and Amanises, Adam chose to hide.

All disputes are irrelevant to me; I can accept who wins or loses.

In fact, both Kronos and Amanises understood Adam's idea, and they did not force Adam to make any choice.

But this time, Amon's choice really disappointed Adam.

Regardless of the reason, how could we possibly ally with a foreign enemy?

This world needs a Lord of the Mysteries, and the purpose of this Lord of the Mysteries is to protect this world.

Before Amon had even succeeded, he did this, so how could Adam trust him?

Therefore, Adam ultimately chose to intervene.

He didn't want to confront Amon directly, so he chose to take on the responsibility of defending the Astral World for Amanises, leaving the matter of Amon to Amanises.

Kronos and Amanises were overjoyed upon hearing Adam's voice.

With Adam's help, Amanises was able to be completely freed.

Amanises didn't waste any words, turned around and left the Astral World to help Klein.

The moment Amon saw Amanises, he knew what had happened.

"Adam, I **********!!"

I won't write out the specifics; just grasp the meaning.

Anyway, among these insults, Amon chose a mutually destructive one, given how close the two were.

Faced with a formidable adversary like Amanises, Amon did not hesitate to take out the Blasphemy Slate, preparing to unleash the power of the Chaos Sea.

But the next moment, Amon's eyes narrowed, because he could not use the power of the Chaos Sea.

The tablet in Amon's hand is the First Blasphemy Slate, which naturally possesses the power to stir up the Chaos Sea, provided that no one stops him.

Adam is now essentially half of the Great Old One, and he still holds the Second Blasphemy Slate in his hand.

If he disagrees, Amon will have no chance of letting him off the hook by stirring up the Chaos Sea.

In response, Amon once again uttered a string of beautiful words.

If it really comes down to sheer strength, Amon is no match for Amanises!

After watching Amanises leave, Kronos said to Adam, "Thank you for your help this time."

Adam shook his head and said, "I don't deserve your thanks; on the contrary, I should be the one apologizing."

"It's my fault for not teaching Amon well, which led him to do such a thing. I should handle this personally."

Teaching Amon well? That's easier said than done.

Teaching unruly children is a difficult task in itself, let alone teaching the king of unruly children.

After only a few words of casual conversation, the other side launched an offensive.

As Amanises had predicted, Kronos was facing two very troublesome figures.

The powerful Supernova Dominator and the mysterious Circle of Inevitability.

The power of the Supernova Dominator is quite similar to that of the Sun Pathway, both possessing the characteristics that a star should have. However, instead of being Purification, it has gained even greater power.

Faced with this attack, Kronos dared not take it head-on and could only choose to dodge.

But Kronos has to face more than just the Supernova Dominator; he also has the Circle of Inevitability by his side.

Fate, fate, under his influence, Kronos simply couldn't escape the attacks of the Supernova Dominator.

After several exchanges, Kronos was injured, though not seriously, but it was not a good omen.

The battle has just begun, and I'm already on the verge of collapse. How can I possibly hold out until Amanises returns?

Left with no other choice, Kronos mobilized the entire City of Civilization to defend himself.

The City of Civilization was created by combining the power of two Pathway, and is also protected by the River of Civilization, so its defense capabilities are top-notch.

Therefore, Kronos survived the attack from the Supernova Dominator unscathed.

However, while the Divine Kingdom can protect one for a time, it cannot protect one for too long.

He was able to maintain the power of the Hermit Pathway, but the Paragon Pathway was indeed less controllable.

If the delay goes on for too long, there is a high possibility that the City of Civilization will be scattered.

Thinking of this, a determined look appeared in Kronos's eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned two things: the Beyonder Characteristic of the Enlightener and the Uniqueness of the Paragon.

In fact, he hadn't fully digested the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hermit yet.

However, after taking advantage of the identities of the God of Steam and Machinery and the Hidden Sage, Kronos's digestion speed was indeed quite fast.

For the sake of prudence, it would be best for Kronos to digest the situation for a while longer.

After all, he wasn't Adam or Amon, who had been playing those roles for a long time, so once he was promoted, he basically didn't need to worry about digesting the experience.

However, given the current situation, if he cannot find a way to break the deadlock in law enforcement, he will face defeat.

If it were just him who got injured, Kronos wouldn't care so much; his main concern was that he wouldn't be able to hold the line.

If, ultimately, his actions caused the so-called Apocalypse to happen sooner than expected, Kronos would truly feel guilty.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Kronos immediately began the risky fusion with the power of the Paragon Pathway.

The moment that power entered his body, Kronos sensed something was wrong.

Because he was unable to fully digest the Hermit, the Hermit's Authority within him was not 100% under his control.

If it's just about mobilizing forces to fight the enemy, this isn't a big problem.

However, after a new power entered his body, the Hermit's Authority became less controllable.

Although Hermit and Paragon are adjacent, this proximity also implies the possibility of them devouring each other.

That's the current situation; the Hermit's Authority is stronger, so he has been trying to devour the Paragon's authority.

Perhaps swallowing it would make the Hermit's Authority stronger, but that's not what Kronos wants.

What he needs is a balance between the two powers. In the short term, only in this way can he smoothly mobilize the power of both powers and thus maintain the City of Civilization.

In the long run, to merge the Sefirah into the Great Old One, both kinds of authority are required.

Therefore, Kronos had to stop this insane idea of Hermit's Authority.

Fortunately, Kronos's digestion progress wasn't too bad either. Despite their best efforts to stop it, the Hermit's Authority obeyed Kronos's arrangement and did not continue to attempt to devour.

However, just as Kronos was attempting to merge the two powers, a sudden change occurred.

The two powers clashed directly and relentlessly.

The forces that can merge and transform into each other are also mutually restraining, which is quite reasonable.

But it doesn't make sense that they started fighting inside Kronos's body.

Kronos himself is not the battlefield; how can he be so casual?

As the two forces clashed, Kronos felt a surge of impulsive madness rising within him.
