chapter 316 part 1
Chapter 314 Do You Want to Die Forever?
A lot of the time, even though Loki was the God of Stories, he couldn't quite understand Du Wa's actions.
Take now, for example. He never would have imagined that after suffering a vicious beating from Du Wa, reaching for the sweet date Du Wa offered would immediately result in an even more terrifying beating.
Being smashed by the Main Universes of two Multiverses... this kind of treatment... Loki had envisioned countless possibilities, but he had never imagined such an outcome.
Loki's composure shattered. He screamed himself hoarse as the Power of Stories erupted with unprecedented might. The Confusor in his hand was pushed to its absolute limit.
The Power of Stories from two worlds was also absorbed by Loki at this moment, but it was too late. The timing of Du Wa's move was too cunning and vicious. Loki could only watch helplessly as the two Main Universes collided madly, and the medium connecting them was Loki himself.
As time went on, the Intersection Zone grew larger, and the pressure on Loki mounted.
"I won't be trapped here forever! With two different Main Universes, the tendency to separate is inevitable! I will risk my life to accelerate this process and push the two worlds apart!"
Loki was going mad. With bloodshot eyes, he was clearly putting his life on the line. The fear and rage in his heart had reached their peak.
Hearing another promise from Du Wa, he was so angry he could have died. He simply pretended he hadn't heard it.
"You will soon realize that the most painful days have yet to come," Du Wa watched quietly.
When the powerful gods began to enter the fray one after another, this terrifying mass would have to be borne by the newly promoted Multiversal Loki.
The emotions of gods are not shared. Only Loki silently endured all their joys and sorrows.
Du Wa felt that if Loki was crushed beyond endurance, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for him to change careers and become a god of emotion upon his release. Besides, the Emotional Spectrum he held was currently of no use.
Those nine Lantern Entities were still alive and kicking, active throughout the various universes, and Du Wa hadn't bothered to capture them.
"I've completed your mission now, haven't I?" Krona asked Du Wa fawningly.
"Of course. Consider it payment for your resurrection and for providing you with a channel to acquire new knowledge," Du Wa said lightly.
Krona was so respectful, but Du Wa knew at a glance that the guy actually wanted to get his hands on the Emotional Spectrum.
But Krona was not worthy. At least, not yet.
The gods had no mind to pay attention to a minor character like Krona. One by one, they watched the fusion of the two Main Universes with great excitement.
"Genius! A truly genius idea! Even if the God of Xenomorphs wasn't a deity, he would be the smartest person in the Multiverse. To actually think of such a method!"
"Using the wondrous Power of Stories to bind two different worlds is simply incredible. So that was Loki's purpose?"
"Even I, this Loki, didn't expect that the opposite world would have a version of me who mastered the Power of Stories."
Just as the DC Pantheon was rejoicing, Loki's expression turned a little strange. He too had realized what a crucial role Loki, God of Stories was playing.
"That Loki isn't you at all. His appearance, memory, and emotion are all different from yours. Besides the name, there's no connection between you," Ares sidled over.
Loki subtly moved away. As the god of lies, he could clearly smell the insincerity and thick malice coming from Ares, but for a moment he couldn't figure out the reason for this change in Ares. "Of course I know that's not me. That guy even has a shady relationship with the Thor from the opposite world. It's just bizarre. I have no idea what's going on with the Old Gods of that world."
Ares looked at Loki, finding the scent of these gods more and more fragrant. If he were to use them as material to merge into The One, the taste would surely be exquisite.
"After my fusion with several god-kings, I gained the ability to pierce the Source Wall and enter the outside. If I fused the entire Old Gods and New Gods, how much power would I possess?"
Ares's heart burned with passion. Among all the gods present, he was the one least interested in the Intersection Zone.
After all, he had once substantially broken through the Source Wall. Although he hadn't yet figured out why that reality had been overwritten and replaced by this brand-new one, it didn't stop Ares from walking this path again.
And he would surpass the former The One!
But the other gods placed great importance on this great collision.
The larger the Intersection Zone became, the more direct the benefit: it could accommodate the entry of more, higher-level gods. Extrapolating from the current rate of expansion, it wouldn't be long before the Multiversal gods, after some careful preparation, could truly enter the scene.
"Hahaha, look! This fellow uses the Power of Stories. He must be the God of Stories, right? I'm willing to call him great!"
"To leverage the fusion of two worlds with his power alone is incredible, truly incredible! I've never seen such a selfless deity. He deserves the respect of all us gods!"
"To show our respect, let's just let the newly promoted God of Stories remain in his current state forever. We just need to be responsible for singing the praises of the God of Stories' name!"
A group of gods roared with laughter. Everyone could see that this Loki from the Otherworld was clearly an important tool being used by Du Wa, but so what? After all, he had indeed absorbed a large number of new stories and barely managed to become an incredible Multiversal god, hadn't he?
For the hope of the World Within the Wall, everyone praised him with malicious intent, hoping that Loki, God of Stories, would persevere like this forever, becoming the pillar supporting the Intersection Zone until the end of all things.
"Can we enter the Intersection Zone now? I can't wait to personally experience the rules and gods of the Otherworld, and escape this damn World Within the Wall!"
"No, it's not big enough yet. A single Multiversal god is enough to put immense pressure on a Multiverse, even causing countless universes to collapse on the spot. And now we have two universes that haven't finished merging? We have to wait longer. At the very least, wait for the God of Xenomorphs' next move."
"What's the deal with that Shuma-Gorath? How was it able to come to our side before, and why is it still roaming through the various universes? I really don't know what's so attractive about this lifeless World Within the Wall."
