chapter 319 part 1
Chapter 316: Super-Large Universe
Metron had been constantly pestering Lex Luthor, trying to get his Mobius Chair back.
The great convergence event between the two realms, ignited by Du Wa, made Metron even more desperate. He relentlessly sought an opportunity to talk with Lex Luthor.
"Give the chair back to me, I only need it for an hour! I have to use my brain to record this historic moment!" Metron shouted.
Lex Luthor didn't even raise his head. "Listen to me, you can't handle this chair. Even your current desperation is, in essence, just a withdrawal symptom, an instinctual craving for the Mobius Chair."
"Impossible! I have always been filled with a love for knowledge! That's why I am the God of Knowledge!"
"It's the Mobius Chair that makes you love it. Over countless years, you've become a slave to this chair. Whoever is the chair's master is the God of Knowledge. I thought you would have realized this by now, but it seems that's not the case."
Lex Luthor continuously used the Mobius Chair to gather all kinds of information. The brand-new information he absorbed from the ever-expanding intersection zone made him and the Mobius Chair extremely excited.
However, when Du Wa seized this opportunity to ascend to the Super-Large Universe tier, both Lex Luthor and the Mobius Chair were driven into a frenzy. This was a completely new, unknown domain and an unparalleled observation opportunity for them both. Naturally, they had to focus all their attention and computational power, dedicating everything to this transformation.
"As a Xenomorph, I am also within the God of Xenomorphs' transformation—I am a part of him!" Lex Luthor's breathing grew ragged. Coupled with the vast divine power actively supplied by the Mobius Chair, he felt himself gradually breaking free from the shackles of the current Multiverse. In some unseen way, he seemed to glimpse the region beyond the Source Wall.
Under these circumstances, who would spare a thought for Metron? Who would bother with his pestering?
Lex Luthor said bluntly, "The most important thing right now is to join this incredible ascension. And you, Metron, you're not even a Xenomorph. What right do you have to stand in my way?"
No one held any lingering affection for the former God of Knowledge, Metron. Except for Ares.
While the gazes of all the gods were captivated by Du Wa's immense transformation, giving rise to all sorts of complex thoughts, only Ares could ignore this phenomenon to the greatest extent, remembering Metron's name amidst the chaos.
"Ares...?"
A look of astonishment appeared on Metron's pained face; he even felt a little touched—although the "former God of Knowledge" descriptor broke his composure a bit, it didn't matter.
His only confusion was that he couldn't recall any deep friendship with Ares, or even much interaction at all.
Ares approached, carrying his axe. His gaze burned like the sun, and his divine power surged like a mighty river. This undisguised emotion made Metron feel even more out of his depth.
"All the gods harbor ill intentions. But you, my friend, are the most special one in this turmoil! You are more special than all the New Gods and Old Gods present!"
Ares drew closer. His magnificent voice and strange actions did attract some slight attention, but the gods quickly lost interest in him.
Even Zeus only gave the peculiar Ares a single, stern glance before refocusing his gaze on Du Wa.
There wasn't a single deity who didn't yearn to glimpse a higher tier. What Du Wa was doing right now was exactly what they had dreamed of.
"About Ares..."
"Pay him no mind. A terrible war hasn't broken out yet, so this isn't his element. We'd be better off observing the actions of the God of Xenomorphs. It might give us some inspiration. In this regard, Olympus absolutely cannot fall behind the other pantheons!" Zeus said majestically.
Athena and Artemis were filled with doubt. In fact, anyone who wasn't a fool could see Ares's strange behavior.
"I bet the God of War is up to some conspiracy," Mister Mxyzptlk muttered. "Shouldn't we hurry back to the Fifth Dimension? I feel like the Multiverse has become completely unfamiliar to me."
Golden Superman shook his head. "The King will handle matters in the Fifth Dimension. Our job is to observe Du Wa's actions and bring back any valuable results."
Just then, Ares, a broad smile on his face, finally arrived before Metron.
Before Metron could ask a question, Ares abruptly raised his axe and brought it down viciously on him!
The blow from the axe split half of Metron's body open. A massive amount of divine power erupted, and the surging might made Ares's throat bob uncontrollably.
"Ares, what are you doing? Why are you killing me?! And why kill me when all the gods are gathered?" Metron was stunned. He struggled desperately, but in an instant, Ares struck with his axe again, pinning him down completely.
"What else? You're not a Xenomorph, and you're the weakest of the New Gods. Of course I'm going to kill you!"
"???"
At that moment, Metron truly thought Ares had gone mad. What kind of bullshit reason was that?
But Metron was out of chances. Under numerous stunned and bewildered gazes, Ares hacked him completely in two. He then tossed his axe aside to suppress Metron's dissipating divine power and soul.
Ares needed everything that belonged to Metron!
"Ares, are you trying to incite a war between the Old Gods and the New Gods?"
"You're insane! How long has it been? How long since a New God has died? And you dare to do this!"
"Hehehe, it seems he was provoked by the God of Xenomorphs's shining moment. But that makes sense. Ares is the God of War, after all. By actively starting a war now, perhaps he wants to increase his strength in the process."
Mocking gazes were continuously directed their way.
Metron? Well, the guy's fate was tragic, but he wasn't exactly a popular figure among the New Gods. After losing the Mobius Chair, there was even less reason to care. If he was dead, he was dead.
Compared to that, the bold actions of Ares, God of War, were far more eye-catching.
"Ares, what are you doing? Have you gone mad for war? Let Metron go, maybe he can still be saved!"
"No, he can't be saved, father of the gods. And no one will come to avenge Metron!"
Ares directly collected all of Metron's remains.
