Just how powerful is Pale God Norton?
This issue has been a topic of much discussion for nearly a century. From Abraham and the emperors of the Northern Continent to factory workers and ship slaves who shovel latrines, as long as someone brings up this topic, the discussion will begin with everyone expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly. It can even spread outwards, with more and more people gathering around. As long as passersby hear the conversation, they will spontaneously come and gather around the crowd, either to express their views or to listen quietly.
This topic could even break down class barriers. Ship slaves would discuss it among themselves during their work, and the overseers with whips would not take the opportunity to lash them out. Instead, they would join in the discussion, proudly sharing their own insights and what they had heard, thus demonstrating their interpersonal relationships and high status.
You can choose any tavern across the entire Northern Continent. No matter which one you choose, there will be discussions about the Pale God every day, and without exception, these discussions will eventually lead to discussions about the Pale God's power.
Folklore says that the Pale God is God incarnate, capable of destroying the entire Garden of Eden with a single word, easily tearing apart time and space, resurrecting people, and even reversing time. In short, he is omnipotent.
Based on these rumors, quite a few related literary works have even been produced, such as " Norton and Garden of Eden," "The Love of God," and "The Third Type of Person."
Even in some horror or survival novels, the final, inexplicable mysteries can be explained by the Pale God.
It's as if that Pale God is truly like God, omnipotent!
However, these are just folk tales; those who specialize in studying the actions of the Pale God from his birth to the present day have different opinions.
Based on their national system and logistics, they had ample information about the Pale God, as well as information provided by Abraham and Duoxia, two ancient figures who had survived from the mythological era. This made their research on the Pale God more conservative.
For example, the popular belief that the Pale God could revive the dead and change time has long been disproven by them. They even believe that the Pale God could not possibly destroy a country.
Whether it's the architectural damage caused by his final battle with Kuba in the mythical era, the movements of the Holy Knight's body still preserved inside the mountain behind the Holy See, or the observations of his actions over the past century since his resurrection, it's clear that this Pale God does not possess a wide-range attack method similar to nuclear weapons or other explosive weapons. He also lacks the holy light that can evaporate everything or the ability to flatten the entire Southern Continent with a single hand, as popular belief suggests.
On the contrary, judging from the immortal bodies of the Holy Knight preserved in the cave from the battle with the Holy See, their attack methods were actually similar to those of ancient cold weapon soldiers, employing a single-target approach.
Even his own power may have a threshold that is perhaps very large for humans, but actually very small for technology.
Its uniqueness, from beginning to end, seems to lie only in that authoritative Pressure and the evolution of life levels!
According to the information recently Blood Progenitor the traitor Abraham, Norton's special nature is even limited by the fundamental condition of whether or not one has devoured his flesh and blood. Only those who devour his flesh and blood can be completely controlled by him. This secret, recently revealed by Abraham, has truly shocked the entire Northern Continent.
No wonder that when the Pale God was first revived, he did not reveal his sinister intentions. Instead, he appeared harmless. Later, he even cooperated with the Aodelan Empire to spread the Holy Church and cover up his ultimate goal—to release the holy water he had soaked in, so as to completely transform the entire human race of the Southern Continent into his subjects whom he could control at will.
No wonder he later so recklessly destroyed all the major empires of the Southern Continent and committed atrocities without any pressure. It turns out that he had already begun to lay the groundwork to take over the entire Southern Continent.
Based on this concept, the department that studies the power of the Pale God has made a series of judgments.
Even though the Pale God rarely intervened, and in fact, aside from the battle against Kuba in the mythological era, he never intervened at all, we can still infer his actions from his daily behavior.
For example, the damage to the roof of the palace caused by the pure gold throne he threw in his rage, the height and distance the pure gold throne flew, the violent methods used to kill his dozen or so psychiatrists, and everything mentioned above.
Ultimately, they came to a more plausible conclusion—that the Pale God Norton, though invincible due to his high physical Existence Level, was essentially nothing more than an indestructible and powerful being.
All its great power can be attributed to the special properties carried by its foreign soul, which allows it to compete with God for authority, thereby achieving the level of a forgery and thus completely controlling the extraordinary beings it creates.
But apart from that, his physical body is nothing more than that of an indestructible old Vampire who is only indestructible because of his Existence Level!
But is that really the case?
Abraham stared blankly at His Majesty floating in the sky, his breath catching in his throat without him even realizing it. (He could breathe or he could not.)
From the moment he met His Majesty until just now, Norton's image in Abraham's mind was not actually that of a powerful figure.
Because everything Norton could do, except for the Pressure to oversee the entire Southern Continent, Abraham could also do!
But just now, Abraham had started to panic.
What just happened?
Fifteen nuclear bombs, already detonated with enough explosive force to destroy the entire imperial city, flowed silently into His Majesty's mouth, the shockwaves and streaks of light emanating from them.
What a terrifying impact!
Abraham felt a chill in his heart.
If His Majesty had survived the explosion of fifteen nuclear bombs, that would be normal. After all, according to his calculations, everything in Garden of Eden, including all matter and life, is now a Existence Level below His Majesty, so it's normal that he couldn't be harmed.
But this scene, where even light is flowing into His Majesty's mouth, is completely abnormal!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Abraham's battered body was healing itself, but he lay on the ground, limp and powerless, as if he had been beaten to death. Looking at Norton hovering high in the sky, he felt a tightness in his chest and a fear that made it hard to breathe.
However, this fear was amplified by Norton's next move high in the sky, which only deepened its grip.
"Ha..." A hoarse breath echoed in the sky, accompanied by Pressure that covered the entire Southern Continent.
At this moment, under Norton's Pressure, the Southern Continent had completely become his domain, a stage for him to flaunt his power.
"I am the Pale God... the only deity of Garden of Eden... I will, with boundless power... proclaim the end of this Epoch..."
Norton flapped his wings, floating above the pale tower. His body was pale and slender, strange yet perfect. The humanity, extreme anger, and madness that had originally existed in his body had vanished, replaced by a sense of indifference and holiness like that of a true god.
But this inhuman indifference and the god's sanctity, which made all things seem like mere ants, terrified Abraham lying on the ground, even to the point of madness!
His words, accompanied by Pressure, permeated the entire Southern Continent. Although his voice was beautiful and melodious, like celestial music, the life- Pressure contained within it forced all creations of the Southern Continent to kneel on the ground, unable to bear it. Those without the protection of the Holy Lord Church's tokens exploded on the spot, breaking into pieces of flesh.
In an instant, all the people of the Southern Continent who had defected from the Pale God but had not yet been settled, or who had not fled to the Holy Lord Church of the Northern Continent for protection, died without exception.
With just this one sentence, the remaining population of the entire Southern Continent has decreased by more than 20%, reaching nearly 200 million people.
As he spoke, Norton, high in the sky, actually extended his slender, long fingers and forcefully plunged them into his own neck.
"Crack... click crack..."
With a chilling cracking sound, his slender, long fingers forcefully pierced his own skin and snapped his spine. What followed was a slow, brutal, and horrific scene.
"Giggle... boom..."
With the sound of bones snapping, a rough, pale bone was slowly pulled out from the broken neck wound by his slender fingers.
A pale, rugged bone, about 1.5 meters long, was pulled out and grasped in his palm. The long, slender spine now resembled a pale longsword, held in the palm of the Pale God.
This guy actually managed to pull his pure white spine out of his neck, bit by bit!
Abraham was terrified!
When has Your Majesty ever displayed such a terrifying demeanor? Not to mention that Your Majesty has just demonstrated your awe-inspiring power!
But this war, which has determined the fate of the entire Garden of Eden, has already begun; how could it possibly stop?
In the distant city, at the edge of the horizon, endless steel products have already emerged.
