chapter 320 part 1
Chapter 317: You, Have Heard My Story?
Loki swore that this was the first time he had ever hated someone so much.
The God of Stories' tale was just beginning? And then he would absorb his own story? This shoddy excuse nearly drove Loki mad.
The sheer magnitude of the two worlds was just too astonishing. Logically, even if they were just two universes—two main universes, at that—they shouldn't possess such exaggerated weight. Just a partial convergence was already overwhelming Loki, making him feel as if his body and soul were being destroyed by the terrifying pressure from both sides. Even the power of stories itself was crumbling bit by bit as it came into contact with a concept too vast and unfathomable!
Yes, this was completely different from what Loki had initially envisioned.
"There's definitely something wrong with these two Multiverses! If this were truly a contact between the main universes of two Multiverses, then even if I'm at the center of the pressure, I should be fusing with more story power and growing stronger as the two worlds connect more deeply! I definitely shouldn't be like this, where my story power just dissolves into an indescribably vast force the moment I extend it!"
Loki's eyes widened. He had scoured the memory of every Loki, recalled every lie he had ever told, and felt that all of them combined were not as cruel as the deception Du Wa had subjected him to.
"Patience, God of Stories. You are already a Multiversal God of the most initial level. You should possess your own majesty. Look, the many Gods of this world are all in awe of you."
Du Wa continued, "As for the peculiarity you mentioned, there's no harm in telling you in advance. After all, it won't be long before this becomes common knowledge... You subconsciously assume that the two worlds you are connecting exist within a single super-large universe, but that is wrong."
In an instant, Loki, who was in the midst of pain and torment, understood. The shock and terror in his heart at this moment overwhelmed all other sensations. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Different... super-large universes?"
Du Wa encouraged him, "You are the God of Stories, having fused with a vast number of stories. You should make full use of your imagination. After all, you don't need to provide imagination energy to the Fifth Dimension when you imagine."
"Two... Omniverses?! You're insane! You are a complete and utter madman to have done something like this, secretly connecting a small part of two Omniverses?! And you're using me as a consumable to maintain the convergence!!"
Loki's breathing was ragged, his mind roaring. He felt that Du Wa was not just an asshole, but also ridiculously insane.
Even the God of Stories, who could spin the grandest of tales, could never have imagined that Du Wa would dare to play such a high-stakes game—and, crucially, not get beaten to death for it!
What had he done to deserve this, to support the convergence of two Omniverses with his power alone?!
The most terrifying thing was, before the two worlds began their large-scale convergence, Loki remembered that he was just a Celestial, not even a Multiversal God, yet he had actively and passively joined this insane endeavor!
"Suicidal" wasn't even enough to describe this mad adventure.
"Fine, just fine! For you to play like this and not be killed by the terrifying beings in the two Omniverses, Du Wa, you truly are remarkable!" Loki had never heard of such an insane story. "If you had been killed in the process, were you prepared to turn around and become the God of Stories yourself?"
"No, you were just a backup plan. I would have prioritized the system of the Old Ones, represented by Shuma-Gorath," Du Wa reminded him.
Fuck!
Loki completely lost his composure, feeling like he was about to split apart, with one half going to Marvel Comics and the other to DC Comics.
"Hang in there. It's not time for you to give up yet. The moment you break free, you will become a God of Stories who can truly control your own destiny," Du Wa consoled.
Loki roared, "But you just said a while ago that you would give me an opportunity when you achieved the Super-Large Universe tier!"
"Yes, but not an opportunity to escape. It's an opportunity for you to acquire more stories. Once I've prepared, I will gift that story to you. Who knows, perhaps by then, you'll also be qualified to scratch the surface of the Super-Large Universe tier."
Du Wa genuinely thought highly of Loki. This was the God of Stories, an extremely rare conceptual god. And since both Marvel Comics and DC Comics had their own editorial departments, this was a crucially important story element.
The current Loki was still far from his limit. With a bit of proper management and a small push from Du Wa, Loki could go much further.
Of course, he could also withstand more firepower.
But Loki no longer dared to believe Du Wa's promises. Who knew what kind of terrifying things he would encounter if he continued to follow the plan arranged by Du Wa? Next time? He feared that next time, more than one transcendent deity would enter the fray, leading to an even more terrifying and hopeless disaster.
As Du Wa advanced to the Super-Large Universe tier, this incredible operation finally came to a temporary close. The numerous Gods were still immersed in that light that transcended the Multiverse, covering everything both inside and out, unable to extricate themselves.
From their perspective, every single Xenomorph seemed to have become different. Because they were all naturally a part of Du Wa—they *were* Du Wa himself. No matter how ordinary a Xenomorph was, its strength might be poor, but as long as it was a Xenomorph, it possessed an incalculably transcendent nature.
"It seems to be over. In that case, the convergence of the two Multiverses should be completed soon, right? I don't care how astonishing the results the God of Xenomorphs achieved with this opportunity; I'm more concerned about when I can leave this damned Multiverse! I want to transcend the Origin Wall and see the world beyond!"
"Hmph, naive. Now that He has achieved His goal, is there any need to maintain the existence of the Intersection Zone?"
"The God of Xenomorphs seems to have never lied. The things he promises are always eventually fulfilled."
The Gods murmured among themselves, constantly sizing Du Wa up with complicated gazes. They could no longer see through Du Wa's true form. They could only vaguely deduce his silhouette from the great power emanating from his body, no longer able to observe him as they had in the past.
A Super-Large Universe-level being, even one who had just advanced and held no advantage against veteran Super-Large Universe Gods, was definitely not something that ordinary Multiversal Gods could decipher and interpret.
At this moment, holiness belonged to the God of Xenomorphs. Countless Gods were eclipsed.
"He succeeded. Amidst countless impossibilities, starting from a mortal, he has come this far. This is truly an incredible feat. I have never seen such a god."
Oblivion, still blocking the way with several other Gods, had scrutinized the entire process. After a long silence, he had no choice but to admit it.
