<h4>Volume 5 Chapter 77: Layers of scheming</h4>
Trantor: La0o9
Boundless light and heat radiated from the golden eye, causing everything to rapidly melt and burn to ash.
The total energy within the surrounding Space-Time reached a certain peak, even Negary felt like time itself was flowing faster. If someone identally entered this ce and didn’t get killed by the shing radiation of Pathways, they would find that only a few weeks or even a few days had passed outside despite them staying here for over a dozen years.
After this battle, even if Eternal Heat no longer radiated his heat and energy, his Pathway would still have permanently altered this ce. At this moment, the passage of time at this location had surpassed other locations by several hundred times, and as Eternal Heat continued to release his power, this difference continued to increase.
〖 The power of Impurity within my surroundings is increasingly growing, and the structure of Space-Time is also copsing as time speeds up more and more 〗
As Negary pped his dragon wings, countless golden beads shifted around his body. The beads that had been spread all around the world were now gathered around him, observing the changes in his surroundings, through which he recorded data on the Righteous Gods in order to analyze their Pathways.
Life Bearer was the main force in resisting Eternal Heat’s attack, the lifeforms that she created were quickly absorbing the surrounding heat as resources in order to rapidly grow.
With the interception of numerous Pathways, almost every entity here was attacking Eternal Heat. The Unreachable Gate’s aid was limited, so even when Eternal Heat continuously radiated arge amount of power, he still found it difficult to fight against many. The light gradually receded, which looked like if this continued, Eternal Heat would be defeated by their joined effort.
〖 Is it really that simple? 〗
Arge number of patterns abruptly appeared on Negary’s body, which formed ayer of protection against all poison right as a cloud smog shot towards him from the swirling darkness.
〖 Concealed Demise! 〗Negary immediately turned towards that direction.
The poison gas attack just now came from Concealed Demise, if Negary hadn’t recognized the changes in Space-Time matter around him seconds before the smog arrived and noticed that the smogpletely counteracted his existence, if he hadn’t been able toplete an air-tight defense in that instant, over half of his body would have died, which would then spread to the virus in other locations in no time at all.
Essentially, if he hadn’t prepared for it, that would have been a fatal attack.
〖 Was it an instinctive attack? 〗
Negary soon discovered that Concealed Demise didn’t care about this attack at all and continued to focus on Eternal Heat. As far as he understood, Concealed Demise’s body was this mass of boundless darkness, which had fully epassed his Pathway. Whenever there was a living being within it, his body would prepare a fatal surprise attack corresponding to that lifeform.
Even if the target was a gigantic lifeform like a, Concealed Demise would continuously umte enough power to eventually destroy it. It was said that he was chased out of his original world for this very reason.
〖 Something isn’t right 〗
As someone who never holds grudges, Negary silently took note of Concealed Demise’s characteristics, then made considerations for a series of experiments to test this exact situationter on, and finally focused on the battle again.
While Mequik’s calctions were correct, and his betrayal had indeed shifted the power scales of the two sides, everything was proceeding too smoothly. Eternal Heat shouldn’t be that weak.
Right as Negary was wondering what preparations Eternal Heat might have, Negary suddenly felt his body stiffening as if something had restrained his movements.
〖 Restraints usually originate from 2 sources, either from the environment or from within my own body 〗
Negary’s perception rapidly spread into his body and discovered the issue.
Evidently, the other Righteous Gods had already noticed this issue before he did. Negary still hasn’t fully manifested his Pathway, his Pathway hadn’t fully epassed his existence, so his perception of his own existence was a bitckingpared to true Pathway Entities.
『 Barren Shadow, I knew there was a problem with you 』Mequik’s body shifted, her grey tentacles swung by themselves and swiftly yanked a series of jet-ck curves from a different aspect of reality, those curves had entered Mequik’s body to disturb her existence.
Thanks to Mequik’s actions, Negary also discovered the ck curves inside his body, which had reached inside through another aspect of reality. At first nce, it seemed to be an aspect rted to darkness, and one wouldn’t be able to detect these curves at all if they didn’t observe through this aspect.
Right as Negary prepared to remove these ck curves, he found himself losing the capability of observing that aspect. The Unreachable Gate had acted right at this moment, the countermeasures Negary put up previously had failed, so Negary needed a short amount of time to prepare the next series of countermeasures, but due to the ck curves from Barren Shadow, it was difficult for him to do so.
Having been surrounded this entire time, Eternal Heat abruptly released arge amount of light and heat once again, his golden eyes opened one by one, causing the copse of the surrounding Space-Time’s matter, speeding up the flow of time to its very limit.
Life Bearer turned to face Eternal Heat’s attack, almost as if to buy time for the others.
Negary raised an eyebrow. Arge number of golden beads arrived through space right at this time, this was the part of his body that he had left in the SCR world, which left the SCR world with a small number of golden beads just enough to ensure smooth operation of the parallel worlds.
Therge number of reinforcing golden beads strengthened Negary’s soul as well as his calcting abilities, sensitivity, and logic capacity. Several new countermeasures were immediately erected against The Unreachable Gate, removing his disturbance.
The golden beads around his body once again collected information from Barren Shadow and researched the method of observing that aspect of darkness, a massive amount of data was rapidly being calcted by the golden beads.
A piece of information shed through Negary’s mind.
During the battle up until now, after the will of the Moon Tree escaped from his seal, the thing being pinned on the tree waspletely ignored. Some of the fluctuations of their battle had caused the withered Moon Tree to copse, allowing Negary to observe the information within and discovered that a portion of Barren Shadow’s ck curves had entered the curse seals.
〖 Was his goal the will of the Moon Tree? 〗
〖 No, that is nothing but an empty shell now, his true goal is the curses themselves. While anyone could study the seven curse seals to understand the Pathways of the Seven Gods, this level of understanding should be insignificant at this point in time 〗
〖 The only pivotal thing at that ce at this point in time would be The Unreachable Gate’s curse spear 〗
〖 The Seven Gods had once jointly formed a covenant to not observe any information on the spears, as well as prevent any living being from observing them. The loophole created earlier was only rted to the will of the Moon Tree and how the Seven Gods distributed their Authority,pletely unrted to the observation of the curse spears 〗
〖 The only one capable of changing that would be the will of the Moon Tree who had been in close contact with the curse spears for a thousand years 〗
〖 No wonder Eternal Heat gave the will of the Moon Tree so much leeway. Even if it was for the sake of breaking the status quo, he had still given the will of the Moon Tree too much benefit 〗
〖 Quite evidently, theplete agreement between the will of the Moon Tree and Eternal Heat was for Eternal Heat to help the will of the Moon Tree escape, while the will of the Moon Tree secretly broke the part of the covenant rted to The Unreachable Gate 〗
〖 Eternal Heat wants to act against The Unreachable Gate, even if it meant using up the preparations he had there. But killing The Unreachable Gate wouldn’t change his current difficult circumstances, so Eternal Heat still has other ns 〗
〖 The even bigger issue is how he had ensured that the current circumstances woulde to be, which should involve an even moreplicated n with even more variables. While being surrounded by so many enemies, as long as anyone realized his measures, his n would fail, costing him both the fishing rod and the bait! 〗
〖 There must be something aiding his ns, ensuring the chances of sess would be controlled to a reasonable degree for him to make this gamble! 〗
Within thework of Negary’s countless golden beads, a vast amount of data was flowing through, analyzing the reason for Eternal Heat’s actions.
…
In a massive sea, apletely altered lifeform abruptly opened its eyes.
