The Sword of Temporal Annihilation is the ultimate nemesis of deities. Due to its ability to cause irreparable damage, it can also kill primordial entities, albeit with more effort compared to killing gods.
Garon currently possesses only a half-broken blade, far from his envisioned complete weapon.
However, this doesn't stop Garon from testing its power.
Even if it's only half, it is still a sword forged from numerous divine cores.
"I warn you, don't act recklessly."
The Primordial Sun God panicked.
"Or else..."
Listening to the silver dragon's words, the unease in the Primordial Sun God's heart intensified, and it subconsciously threatened.
However, before the words were finished.
It finally noticed the half Sword of Temporal Annihilation floating beside Garon. All its pupils shrank, and its words stopped abruptly.
The fundamental level of slaughter, eternal infinite annihilation.
The characteristics of the Sword of Temporal Annihilation were faintly perceived by the Primordial Sun God.
Additionally, it also saw the raw materials of this half Sword of Temporal Annihilation.
It was entirely made of divine cores!
A weapon forged from divine cores, even from the birth of the multiverse to this moment, was something the Primordial Sun God had never heard of or seen.
This was no joke.
"It is named the Sword of Temporal Annihilation. It is still far from my perfect design."
"However, I think it should have some basic effectiveness already. So, Yaheng, I'll trouble you to test it for me."
The silver dragon lowered its eyes, staring at the Primordial Sun God, and said.
"Wait, wait."
"I think..."
Facing the Sword of Temporal Annihilation forged from numerous divine cores, feeling the aura of slaughter and annihilation, the Primordial Sun God's heart pounded with fear, feeling as if a blade was pressed against its throat, though it had no throat, and this blade could truly kill it.
However, before the Primordial Sun God could finish its words of surrender and pleading.
Garon moved with a thought.
With a swish!
The half Sword of Temporal Annihilation floating beside Garon disappeared instantly from its position and reappeared, piercing through the Primordial Sun God, stabbing a chilling hole.
"You..."
The numerous eyes on the Primordial Sun God's body rolled around wildly, finally all focusing on the half sword piercing through its body, revealing a look of disbelief.
"I... I'm not willing... I won't accept death!"
The terrifying slaughter and annihilation power that could erase all traces of existence in the river of time erupted within the Primordial Sun God's body.
It felt the shadow of true death enveloping it, constantly wailing in despair, completely different from its previous defiant attitude.
The fact proved that even the ancient primordial gods would be unwilling, angry, fearful, and desperate when facing true eternal death.
"I have not yet shrouded the world in darkness."
"No, I have not yet witnessed the return of the primordial era."
"I'm not willing, why did I encounter you? Damn Time Dragon."
"In that insignificant world, I had already decided to let you go. Why do you insist on opposing me? You really deserve to die!"
"Too hateful, I can't accept it, fate has always stood against me!"
"..."
The Primordial Sun God wailed madly, its resentful appearance completely different from its usual lofty stance.
However, as time passed, the Primordial Sun God noticed something wrong.
Its wails gradually weakened, it turned its eyes in confusion to examine itself.
Although its body was pierced by the half Sword of Temporal Annihilation, and it could truly feel the terrifying power that could erase it from the river of time, this terrible weapon did not fully unleash its power.
It seemed to be all show and no substance.
"Look at you, I thought that as an ancient primordial being, you could remain calm even in the face of true death."
"Yaheng, it seems I overestimated you. If you were an ordinary mortal, you might have been scared to wet your pants."
A low dragon language filled with a teasing tone sounded.
Garon was not surprised by this outcome.
With a swish!
Under Garon's control, the half Sword of Temporal Annihilation was pulled out from the Primordial Sun God's body, leaving a torn wound.
After loosening some of the seals on the Primordial Sun God, Garon saw the injuries healing at a slow but steady rate.
This half Sword of Temporal Annihilation, because it was forged from divine cores, possessed the characteristic of being indestructible. However, it had not successfully acquired the characteristic of erasing its target from the river of time, only having an intimidating aura. Garon evaluated this calmly.
"Why does it only have the aura but can't unleash its true power?"
"Logically, although it's only half, it should be able to exhibit some effects, rather than just the indestructible characteristic of the divine cores."
Ignoring the Primordial Sun God's ranting, Garon continued to control the half Sword of Temporal Annihilation, once again using different postures and methods to cut, slash, separate, and pierce the Primordial Sun God.
Gradually, due to the good feedback from the Primordial Sun God and Garon's own sensitivity, he detected the reason.
"Demi-god, lesser gods, middle gods... My divine cores are consistent in origin and can fuse together."
"But they are at different stages and levels, some strong and some weak. Simple fusion cannot make them effectively work."
"Lacking a strong enough core divine core to stabilize and perfectly link the divine cores of different stages and levels."
The silver dragon squinted its eyes thoughtfully.
"A core divine core for the Sword of Temporal Annihilation needs to be at least at the level of a powerful god."
"Do I have to take Garon's divine core? He is currently a powerful god."
In the Sky Garden, enjoying the company of numerous beautiful maidservants, Garon sneezed, shaking his head, suddenly feeling a bit restless.
"Not feasible. Garon's current powerful god level is mainly due to the sun's authority, and the weight of time's authority is not enough to serve as the core."
Garon thought silently.
After a brief contemplation, the silver dragon squinted its eyes and thought, "Maybe I need to focus on acquiring the core divine core in the Olympus multiverse."
Obtaining a powerful divine core is not a simple matter.
According to Garon's previous divine core farm, there is no belief god strong enough to support the cultivation of a powerful level.
Only in the Olympus multiverse, where the faceless Garon replaced Poseidon, there is a chance to create a powerful level time divine core.
Garon paid more attention to the Olympus multiverse.
This is the largest divine core farm he has identified so far, and the actions of the faceless Garon have already shown some initial success.
Initially, Garon intended to open an ordinary divine core farm in the Olympus multiverse, collecting some interesting artifacts and wandering a bit through the faceless Garon, which would be sufficient.
But now, he needs to pay more attention to the development of the Olympus multiverse.
To gradually replace the belief and doctrine of the sea god with the 'Temporal Church,' and cultivate a powerful divine core is not a simple task.
The greater the change, the more noticeable it becomes.
The more actions the faceless clone takes, the more likely it is to be discovered. Its true transformation skill is indeed powerful, almost miraculous, but not foolproof, especially with clear goals and actions, it cannot avoid doing things somewhat inconsistent with Poseidon. Once or twice is fine, but doing it too many times increases the risk of being noticed.
"Let the Eternal Sun stay in the Olympus multiverse for a while longer."
"It can assist the faceless clone, and in case of unexpected situations, they can respond together."
After a brief contemplation, Garon made up his mind.
The Eternal Sun would certainly agree, as it has a request from Garon, and cooperating with the faceless Garon can also further enhance the power of the sun's authority in the Olympus multiverse.
"If the faceless Garon can ascend to the position of God-King, it should yield a level nineteen divine core as the core for the Sword of Temporal Annihilation."
The stronger the core divine core, the better.
With a level nineteen divine core as the core, slaying equivalent level beings would be like cutting through melons and vegetables.
"By then, I'll carry the Sword of Temporal Annihilation into the Abyss, cutting down anyone who dares to stop me. Which demon lord would dare to block me?"
The corners of the dragon's mouth curled up, a smile involuntarily appearing.
Meanwhile.
In the Olympus multiverse, Poseidon's palace.
The faceless Garon received the will of his main body.
"To ascend to the position of God-King and seize Zeus's throne, you really dare to think."
In reality, the God-King Zeus is not so intimidating. What particularly concerns Garon are the oldest primordial gods in the Olympus multiverse, who have been relatively quiet in the current era. If the commotion is too big, it might attract their attention and wake them from their slumber.
According to Garon's more in-depth understanding during this period, primordial gods are not necessarily stronger than the current ruler, God-King Zeus. The older generation is not necessarily stronger than the new generation, but there might be some exceptionally powerful gods among them, not to be underestimated.
"However, since I am here, it would be a pity not to try the taste of the God-King's throne. At least, I must give it a try."
The faceless Garon thought inwardly.
He still maintained the appearance
of Poseidon. Since the idea of ascending to the position of God-King was already present in Poseidon's mind, it now merged and became even more fervent.
"My love, what are you thinking?"
On a bed formed from agate and glass, the former ocean fairy, now the sea queen, leaned on the 'sea god's' chest, her beautiful face slightly blushing, and asked softly.
"I'm thinking about what the God-King's throne would feel like."
The sea queen was slightly stunned, then nervously raised a slender finger, making a shushing gesture.
"Shh... if the God-King hears this, it will attract heavenly wrath."
Looking at his worried sea queen, 'Poseidon' laughed heartily and arrogantly said, "Who in the world doesn't know that I, Poseidon, want to become the God-King? Who doesn't know I refuse to submit to Zeus?"
Poseidon had tried to rebel against Zeus multiple times.
In the future, when facing the sea god's power grab, God-King Zeus could completely shout in anger, "My brother, it's you again!"
Unfortunately, it wasn't that Zeus was unwilling to solve the problem completely, but he couldn't. Although he was the God-King, he didn't have the absolute power to suppress all opposition.
Since they were destined to oppose the God-King in the future, the faceless Garon's choice to replace Poseidon was a suitable disguise.
Because Poseidon was always opposing the God-King.
Lifting the delicate chin of the sea queen, the 'sea god' spoke in a low, magnetic voice, "My queen, don't forget who fell in love with you."
The aggressive gaze that once frightened the sea queen now only made her heart race and mind confused.
"Yes..."
The sea queen responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
...
In the Eternal Hero Hall of the Great Ring Multiverse.
Garon struck the head of the Primordial Sun God with the Hammer of Time, causing its body to dent. The tormented Primordial Sun God cursed Garon weakly but was helpless.
Additionally, the weapon was no longer the half Sword of Temporal Annihilation but the Hammer of Time.
"Settling for the second-best, using the highest level of four middle divine cores as core nodes, to dominate the lesser and demigod divine cores together to form a complete divine core weapon."
This was a newly conceived idea of Garon.
Just like when he learned spells long ago, mastering and even modifying spell models bit by bit, Garon kept changing the shape of the weapon forged from divine cores and various optimal sequences of combining divine cores of different stages, trying over and over again.
Considering both the different weapon shapes and the sequences of the divine cores.
With the damage inflicted on the Primordial Sun God serving as the experiment result, Garon obtained numerous outcomes.
He aimed to find the best possible divine core weapon he could use with the existing divine cores, one that could exhibit significant power.
Amid the continuous curses and cries of pain from the Primordial Sun God.
The river of time flowed steadily as always.
Garon accumulated more and more experimental results.
Knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks... Ordinary weapon shapes and various strange ones, even divine core weapons in the shapes of towers, dragon balls, and bricks, were all tried by Garon.
Comparing each result, Garon found none of them satisfactory.
"Is there anything I haven't tried..."
Pondering, Garon recalled the two artifacts that left the deepest impression on him.
The Black Jade Disk and the Silver Jade Disk.
At this thought, Garon's inspiration sparkled.
With the experience from multiple attempts, and using the Black Jade Disk and Silver Jade Disk as references, a model outline gradually formed in Garon's mind.
"Garon Aurelian, you can kill me or seal me forever."
"But I cannot tolerate being humiliated as an experimental subject!"
"If I ever break free, I swear by my identity as a primordial god! You will pay a terrible price for your actions!"
The Primordial Sun God, despite its weakened state, did not forget to threaten Garon. Upon realizing Garon lacked the means to truly kill it, it regained some of its arrogance.
Garon was unmoved by the threats from his captive and experimental subject.
To him, its reactions were actually somewhat delightful, adding some interest to the tedious experiments.
Meanwhile, the silver dragon moved with a thought.
Click, click, click... The divine core weapon that had turned into a brick, with its edges embedded in the Primordial Sun God's forehead, flew off and disassembled into its basic components, the radiant divine cores.
Buzz!
Under Garon's control, four middle divine cores floated up, occupying four vertex positions, becoming four core nodes.
Surrounding the four middle divine cores, twenty-four lesser divine cores each descended, closely adhering to the middle divine cores, arranged on both sides. Then, one hundred demigod divine cores also orderly embedded.
In the blink of an eye.
A new divine core weapon appeared in Garon's view.
It presented a hollow ring shape, with four middle divine cores as nodes. A total of one hundred and twenty-four divine cores formed it, possessing an indestructible characteristic, and could seal and fixate all things.
"It seems... successful."
"My intuition tells me it is more perfect than the previous divine core weapons, the best construct for now."
Garon gazed at the Chrono Ring.
Although it was formed due to the failure to forge the Sword of Temporal Annihilation, it seemed to Garon that its essence was no less than the sword and could be upgraded by adding more divine cores.
"A ring... From the moment I was born, my body was imprinted with the Black Ring."
"My dragon wings also bear ring-like marks."
"In my understanding, this ring is a mark of time, a manifestation of time... But why is it a ring? Is it because the essence of time is a closed loop? Could the true nature of the river of time be an immense, boundless ring encompassing infinite multiverses?"
Garon pondered silently, deep in thought.
Meanwhile.
The Chrono Ring, looking like a beautiful crystal ring, rotated steadily, like the steadily flowing river of time, as if it were its reflection.
Within the Chrono Ring, Garon infused considerable temporal energy, constructing a temporal corridor, anchoring a segment of the separated river of time.
However, to Garon's surprise, it resonated with the river of time, the temporal corridor forming an independent space-time that completely followed his will.
