Chapter 89: Do You Want to Purify the Abyss? The Gods Gather in the Underworld ①
Since the birth of Themis, the goddess of justice, she has felt that the earth, the ocean, and the sky are filled with chaos and disorder.
Disasters occurred everywhere, but the Mother Goddess Gaia and other gods paid almost no attention to these disasters, allowing them to continue to destroy and let this chaos and disorder continue.
At the same time, the source of chaos that constantly emerges from the gods' bodies is destroying the earth, ocean, sky, plants, mountains, and so on.
Such a chaotic and disordered world once disgusted her.
But these are not her areas of control.
> With her strength, she couldn't interfere with its development.
Ever since she acquired one-twelfth of the earth's territory, her divine consciousness has spread throughout the area under her control, always paying attention to her territory.
She used her divine power many times to eliminate disasters that occurred on the land, leading to orderly and prosperous development.
Her other five brothers and sisters followed her example and began to eliminate disasters and chaos in the land.
However, outside of the six gods, the other half of the earth is still in chaos and disorder.
In her opinion, the chaos and disorder in this world has reached an exaggerated level.
Going deeper into space, she realized that space is a place where chaos and order coexist.
Many meteorites seem to be flying randomly in space, but Themis, the goddess of justice, can sense them with the law of order.
Many meteorites have predetermined trajectories and move in an orderly manner.
But now that she has come to the abyss, her cognition has been shattered!
Not just breaking it, it completely subverts it!
To the naked eye, the surface of the abyss resembles a desolate and lifeless land, except that the soil is darker.
The divine consciousness spreads to sense the surface of the abyss.
It was very calm above the abyss, without any disaster or chaos, and it seemed to be in the most orderly state.
If ordinary gods had a deep sense of the abyss, most would feel uncontrollable fear.
Because they can clearly sense that the abyss contains great destructive and destructive power.
Whether it is the spirit or the divine body, if it comes into contact with the abyss matter, it will be destroyed.
Themis, the goddess of justice who controls the laws of order, can perceive the abyss more deeply and clearly than other gods.
Because it was clearer, she was stunned!
There was disbelief in her eyes!
Because she did not sense any origin or law of order from the abyss.
The Abyss is total chaos and disorder!
The sources of chaos are too numerous to count.
The disaster that seems to cause no damage is actually a gathering of all forces. The entire abyss can erupt violently at any time, with powerful destructive power that can severely damage any god's body.
The ground is filled with all kinds of chaos and disorder, but if we consider the proportion of these chaos and disorder to the main body, it is less than one tenth.
Now the goddess of justice, Themis, is unable to fully perceive the entire abyss.
But in her perception, chaos and disorder almost occupied 100% of the abyss!
"Your Highness Tartarus, I want to sense the entire abyss, is that okay?" Themis, the goddess of justice, was a little unsure about this shocking idea, and she looked at Tartarus and said.
"Okay." Tartarus nodded.
Then, the goddess of justice, Themis, quickly flew away from her original location, her divine consciousness spreading out, quickly sensing the abyss...
After fully sensing the entire abyss, the goddess of justice, Themis, returned to Tartarus.
At this moment, there was still disbelief in her eyes.
She has sensed the entire abyss with her divine sense.
Finally, it was confirmed that chaos and disorder accounted for a proportion of the abyss that was close to 100%!
It can also be defined in the words of the Mother Goddess: the abyss is a collection of chaos and disorder!
"The world is in complete disorder! How is this possible?" Themis, the goddess of justice, was still a little confused.
Seeing Themis like this, Tartarus remained calm.
Ninety-nine percent of the abyss is composed of negative origins.

These negative effects can cause great damage to the gods themselves and Chaos, which is not conducive to the development of the world.
According to what Themis, the goddess of justice, said before about disorder and order, it is highly likely that these negative origins are equivalent to chaos and disorder.
"It seems that this serious goddess of justice is still unable to accept what she is seeing." Tartarus thought to himself.
He felt that the goddess of justice, Themis, was quite interesting, and had a fanatical seriousness about the things that interested her.
After a while, Themis, the goddess of justice, calmed down a little.
She looked towards Tartarus and said, "It's incredible. The completely chaotic abyss is so calm, without any disaster or chaos erupting."
"I'm curious, how did you manage to gather so much chaos and disorder together without causing a catastrophe to the world?"
Tartarus casually said, "I am the Abyss. I was born like this, without doing anything."
Themis, the goddess of justice, was still surprised. "It's unbelievable to place a portion of the abyss material on the earth, the ocean, and the sky."
"It will undoubtedly cause immense destruction to the surrounding area, plunging it into widespread chaos and disorder. How can this abyss of utter disorder be restored to order?"
"Do you want to purify me?" Tartarus looked at the goddess of justice, Themis, and smiled strangely.
"Purification? What does that mean?" Themis, the goddess of justice, wondered.
Tartarus said, "It is to eliminate the negative origins in the abyss that are detrimental to the gods and the world, leaving only the positive origins that are beneficial to the world."
"To put it another way, do you want to change my body?"
This goddess of justice has bold ideas.
If the two sides were equally powerful, Tartarus would suspect that this tall and strong goddess of justice wanted to destroy him in the name of justice.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides is too large.
Themis said this, perhaps simply because she didn't realize it.
Reminded by Tartarus, the goddess of justice Themis quickly realized the problem with her words.
She instantly felt cold all over.
Coming to the abyss, wanting to destroy it?
Am I crazy? How could I say such a thing?
She quickly bowed and said, "Really? I'm really sorry. Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't intend to cause any harm to the abyss. I misunderstood."

"I have always believed that eliminating the source of chaos and various disasters in the earth, sea and sky, eliminating these disorders and allowing them to enter an orderly and balanced development, will be conducive to the rapid growth of the earth, sky and ocean.
"So, I just thought of bringing order to the disorder in the abyss, thereby accelerating the growth of your true self. I was wrong. For the abyss, returning to order has actually affected you. I'm truly sorry."
Tartarus casually patted the shoulder armor of Themis, the goddess of justice, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I know you didn't mean it."
"But your idea has inspired me. You can try taking some of the abyssal matter and eliminating the source of chaos and disorder, bringing order to it."
"I haven't really tried it. If the abyss becomes orderly, will I grow faster or slower?"
"Can we really try it?" Themis, the goddess of justice, became excited again.
She had never seen or even imagined so many sources of disorder in the hundreds of years since her birth.
The abyss actually exists like this!
If one can eliminate the source of disorder in the abyss matter and make it develop in an orderly manner.
Then the power of one's own law of order can definitely be greatly enhanced.
In the future, I will be able to more easily eliminate the chaos and disorder in the earth, ocean, sky, and any divine entity, and bring them into order.
The entire Chaos world will also enter into orderly development.
This is also the world I want to see the most!
"Of course, whatever you want." Tartarus nodded.
He also had some expectations of how this goddess of justice would use her divine power of order to "transform" the abyssal matter.
Up to now, Tartarus has been comprehending the essence of the abyss for a long time.
The more he discovered the abyss of the negative origin aggregate, the more flawed it was, and this flaw limited his growth.
If I can make up for my shortcomings, I should be able to grow faster and break through the upper limit of my strength.
Perhaps, this serious and interesting goddess of justice can help me find a way to make up for the flaws in the abyss and help me see miracles.
Themis, the goddess of justice, excitedly bowed to Tartarus again: "Thank you, Your Highness Tartarus, for not only not blaming me, but also allowing me to explore the abyss."
"I will keep you updated on my progress. Restoring order from chaos has been a great help to my understanding of the divine power of order. You have helped me again."
"Hundreds of years ago, I wanted to come to the underworld, but I was too weak back then. I didn't think I could help you at all."

"Later, as I grew stronger, I felt I could help you with something, so I came to the Underworld. I originally wanted to help you eliminate the disorder in the Underworld, bring order to it, and then get your answer."
"It's just that I haven't repaid you yet. Now I can't wait to explore the chaos of the abyss. I will definitely repay you in the future."
"No rush, there's plenty of time in the future." Tartarus smiled.
Themis, the goddess of justice, has a heroic appearance and a generous and straightforward personality.
If you have any ideas, just say it directly, which makes Tartarus enjoy communicating with this goddess.
"I'm going to start." After saying this, the goddess of justice Themis impatiently gripped the hilt of the sword, cut off a piece of soil and rock from the abyss, and then used the divine power of order.
"Call me if you need anything, Themis."
> Watching the goddess of justice, Themis, trying to perceive and explore, Tartarus left a word and left the abyss...
Themis, the goddess of justice, looked at the endless abyss with a fiery look in her eyes.
"This is the source of my strength. I must work hard!"
As divine power enveloped the abyssal rock, Themis closed her eyes and focused her divine thoughts on the abyssal rock...
The arrival of Themis, the goddess of justice, was just a small episode.
Afterwards, Tartarus returned to his past insights.
Perceive the abyss, perceive space, perceive the four elements...
Comprehend the Devouring Divine Power, the Soul Divine Power, the Plant Divine Power, the Illusory Divine Power, the Weapon Divine Power...
As the God of Space, Kronos, uses the laws of space to eliminate space turbulence.
While Tartarus was sensing the space itself, he was also sensing Kronos's application of the laws of space.
Later, it was Kronos, the god of space, who provoked the dispute.
This resulted in three gods, Hyperion, the god of the sun, Coeus, the god of celestial bodies, and Crius, the god of weather, all joining the battle for the space domain.
Their approach is the same, not to defeat each other through fighting, but to eliminate all kinds of chaotic and disordered disasters in space.
Such as space turbulence, space cracks, storms caused by meteorite impacts, etc.
After eliminating the space disaster in a certain area, they used the divine laws under their own control to imprison that area, preventing other gods from entering.
This naturally became an area under their complete control.
And if there is no space disaster, they rarely imprison it.
The seizure was justified and legitimate, and it also made sense to Gaia, the Mother Goddess of the Earth.
If you try to snatch it by force without any reason and are targeted by the other three gods, you may suffer greater losses.
Naturally, all four gods chose to "work hard for the development of space."
The powers currently held by the gods are almost non-overlapping.
The four aerial gods wield different divine powers, and their methods of eliminating chaotic and disordered space disasters and the power of the laws they use are also different.
Kronos is the god of space and controls the power of space.
Therefore, he played to his strengths and focused on eliminating spatial turbulence and filling spatial cracks.
This allows that area of space to enter a period of stable and orderly growth.
Koeus is the god of celestial bodies. He can create celestial bodies, destroy celestial bodies, analyze the structure of celestial bodies, control the growth of celestial bodies, and determine the trajectory of celestial bodies.
In terms of his understanding of celestial bodies, he was not inferior to Tartarus, the god of space, and even far surpassed Aether, the god of skylight.
It's just that his strength is insufficient and his divine power is too weak, which makes the celestial bodies and planets he created very weak.
It is still impossible to create powerful celestial bodies such as the Big Dipper and the North Star.
However, relying on his own advantages, he often enters the meteorite storm area caused by the collision of meteorites and uses divine power to change the trajectory of the broken and flying meteorites.
He changed the flight paths of meteorites in the meteor storm so that they would not collide with each other, and they each ran on their own paths and entered normal operation.
Naturally, the huge meteorite storm in space was smoothed out by him and entered into orderly growth.
Hyperion was the sun god, controlling the celestial body, the sun.
Possesses the world of Chaos, and its destructive power is second only to the Sun Fire of the Abyss.
His natural understanding and application of the law of fire is among the strongest in the Chaos world.
If they were at the same level of divine power, the destructive power of his law of fire would be able to surpass that of Tartarus, the god of elements.
He deals with all kinds of chaotic and disorderly disasters in space in a simple and rough way.
For example, a large number of meteorites collide, causing an area of space to fall into an air flow storm.
15:18
3/7 48.17%Chapter 89: Do you want to purify the abyss? The gods gather in the underworld
Hyperion directly used the fire of the sun to burn all the meteorite fragments in the storm.
Then, he used the powerful fire of the sun to suppress and burn the air flow storm.
There were no more meteorites or air current storms in that area. Everything was burned, leaving only calm space. Naturally, it entered a period of peaceful and orderly development.
There are also various other disasters caused by chaos and disorder in space, and the sun god Hyperion handles them in the same way.
Everything is burned by the fire of the sun, leaving only peaceful space. This area of space is naturally safe.
Crius is the god of weather and controls the weather.
He can create various weather conditions such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, increase the intensity of weather conditions, or weaken the intensity of weather conditions and make them disappear.
In space, there are countless meteorites, each with a different composition. They also contain a mixture of the four elements and various primordial forces.
This creates weather in space that is far more powerful than the sky and the earth.
Ice turbulence, sandstorm, starry sky sea of thunder, etc.
Any one of them that falls on the ground will cause a huge disaster and destroy the land.
But in space, these are everywhere.
2
Crius searches everywhere for these extremely violent weather conditions, and with his control over the weather, he reduces their destructive power drastically and eventually dissipates them, allowing a certain area of space to grow in an orderly manner.
From here, Tartarus became more certain of the importance of divine authority.
In the areas where they are good at, gods can maximize their advantages.
For example, the four aerial gods can easily eliminate various disasters in space.
Even if the first generation Poseidon, who was more powerful than them, came to space, he would not be able to deal with it as easily as they did.
Pontus's power over the sea and control over space will be weakened.
Not to mention, there are gods close to Kronos, such as Iapetus, the god of strength, or Rhea, the goddess of the passage of time, and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory.
Allowing them to control a part of the space will, firstly, fail to eliminate the chaos and disorder in the space, and secondly, they may get lost in the space and end up getting hurt.
Similarly, like Tartarus' eldest son, Aether, the god of sky light.
Born in space, control space.
He is the light and air of space. Initially, he did not have a thorough understanding of his true self and had not yet revealed his powerful side.
After thousands of years of understanding and growth.
He is different now than he was in the past.
The light and air in space are not the ordinary light and air on earth.
Today, the destructive power of the starlight attack emitted by Aether has increased by tens of millions times, and it can easily penetrate and destroy all kinds of extremely hard meteorites.
The air in space he controls, called "ether", is composed of more than just wind and water.
It is a combination of the four elements and various origins in space. It is the most special air in the world of Chaos.
With his control over the air in space, Aether can easily eliminate various airflow storms and can even easily create various airflow storms in space.
Such as the absolute zero cold current in space, turbulent sandstorms, meteorite storms, etc.
Aether can easily eliminate these with his control over space light and air.
Also, because he was extremely fast, he was only obsessed with the area of space that he controlled.
Although this area of space was shielded from his divine consciousness, it was actually the safest area in space, and he had almost eliminated all dangers.
Possessing proficiency in a certain type of divine power, you can do the corresponding things with half the effort and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Tartarus's decision to allow the air gods to control space was not a temporary or arbitrary arrangement.
Firstly, it allowed the earth spirits to enter into internal friction, and secondly, it was so that he could learn and apply their laws in the future.
Different divine powers extend to different laws of application.
However, some of the laws and powers they control overlap and can naturally communicate with each other.
Even though he is a primitive god, he was born thousands of years ago.
However, there are too many divine powers, and Tartarus's energy is limited, so he cannot ensure that all divine powers grow and become stronger in parallel.
Therefore, by learning from other gods, one can more quickly comprehend divine authority and the power of various laws, which naturally accelerates one's growth.
The space divine power controlled by Tartarus includes the laws of space and the laws of the celestial system.
He happened to be learning about the application of the laws of space from Kronos, the god of space.
The ability to comprehend and learn the laws of the celestial system from Koos, the god of the celestial bodies.
Learn from the eldest son Aether and apply the laws of light.

The elemental divine power he controls covers the four elemental laws of fire, water, wind and earth, as well as the ability to control various weather conditions.
10 points coins>
It just so happened that he learned from Hyperion how to apply the law of fire.
Learn from Crius and apply the laws of meteorology.
Learn from the eldest son Aether how to use space airflow.
By learning various laws, Tartarus's understanding of his divine power became many times faster, and his own growth rate also became many times faster.
Currently, although he has the largest body area and controls the most divine power.
However, there is no such explosive increase in divine power as that of Kronos, the God of Space, and Gaia, the Mother Goddess, the Father God and the Mother Goddess.
He also has to grow step by step as time goes by.
The understanding of divine authority and ontology will accelerate this growth.
It is just an acceleration, and cannot achieve explosive growth.
The divine nature activated after the Book of Creation is far inferior to the God of Space and the God of Chaos. Those divine bodies will make him stronger, but not by much.
Originally, Tartarus often came to the earth in order to grow faster.
Over the past thousand years, Tartarus has rarely appeared in the world because he is almost useless.
For example, when you are in the state of perception, you are trying to accelerate your growth as much as possible.
If he did not comprehend and just grew normally, Tartarus estimated that it might take him tens of thousands of years, or even longer, to reach the late stage of peak divine power from the middle stage of peak divine power.
But through comprehension and learning, the time it takes for him to break through was greatly shortened.
Three years later.
In the center of the underworld, in the main hall.
Except for the goddess of night, Nyx, who was still in the process of enlightenment and had not come.
The dark god Erebus, who has not been seen for thousands of years, has arrived.
All the gods of the dark night are present.
At the same time, all the gods came except the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia and the Goddess of Justice Themis who was still in the abyss.
There are also three Cyclops.
Because many gods have reached the pinnacle of their realm and are about to break through.
But some gods are stuck in a certain period and have not been able to break through for hundreds of years.
Several gods, such as Hemera, the goddess of day, and Kronos, the god of space, are infinitely close to the late stage of powerful divine power, but have not yet broken through.
So, after everyone discussed it, they finally came to the center of the underworld together.
He asked Tartarus, the wisest man recognized by the gods as the most knowledgeable in Chaos, for advice.
On the throne, Tartarus quietly listened to the various complaints of the gods about their inability to break through to the next period.
He didn't specifically answer a specific god, but instead said, "Everyone, the amount of divine power varies at different stages, which also determines the time required to break through to the next stage."
"The time required to grow from the late stage of medium divine power to the early stage of great divine power is different from that required to grow from the early stage of great divine power to the middle stage."
"Naturally, the time it takes for a powerful divine power to grow from the middle stage to the late stage is also different."
"Just like, when you were born, the weakest Big Dipper God was at the middle-late stage of divine power, and I was at the peak-mid stage of divine power at that time."
"As of now, the Big Dipper God is in the early stage of powerful divine power and is about to break through to the middle stage. You have also made some breakthroughs, but I am still in the middle stage of peak divine power."
"So, there's only one reason you haven't broken through to the next stage. That's because you haven't reached the highest level of divine power at your current stage."
In fact, many gods know that this is the most fundamental reason.
But after hearing what Tartarus said, some of them still sighed helplessly.
I have a feeling about it, but I'm not completely sure yet.
After all, they have been stuck for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they are really unwilling to give up. They don't think it is a problem of insufficient growth.
But Tartarus said so, and that's the reason.
Tartarus continued, "To put it in numerical terms, when I first reached the middle stage of peak divine power, my divine power was equivalent to 20,000."
"And among you, when you are at the early stage of powerful divine power, your divine power is equivalent to two."
"Supreme, Peak, Strong, Medium, Weak, etc., each stage has its early, middle, and late stages. The breakthroughs of gods in each period generally increase their divine power by at least five times."
"Assuming that a breakthrough from the middle stage of peak divine power to the late stage, or a breakthrough from the early stage of powerful divine power to the middle stage, both require a fivefold increase in divine power to achieve."
"So if I want to grow to the late stage of peak divine power, it's equivalent to increasing my divine power from 20,000 to 100,000."

15:18Chapter 89: Do you want to purify the abyss? The gods gather in the underworld
"And for those of you who want to grow from the early stage of powerful divine power to the middle stage of powerful divine power, it is equivalent to increasing the value of divine power from two to ten."
"Similarly, if a mid-stage powerful divine power wants to break through to a late-stage powerful divine power, it is equivalent to increasing the divine power value from ten to fifty."
"From two to ten, you only need to increase the value by eight, but from ten to fifty, you need to increase the value by forty."
"So, if there's no special method to accelerate growth, it's normal for the stronger you are to take longer to break through to the next stage."
Having said that, Tartarus stopped talking.
This is also why, even though his body is larger and he controls more divine power, his growth rate is faster than when he was just the Abyss.
But he couldn't grow at a rapid pace, nor could he achieve the same breakthrough speed as the New God.
> Because the amount of divine power they need to break through is very different.
When Tartarus broke through from the late stage of powerful divine power to the early stage of peak divine power, his body directly increased a hundred times, and his divine power increased by hundreds of times.
The strength varies greatly at different stages.
There is a gap between powerful divine power and peak divine power, but the difference between them is more than a hundred times.
It's not just a huge gap in divine power.
There are also differences in the understanding of the laws and the control over the use of divine power.
For example, the God of Darkness, Erebus, is now at the early stage of peak divine power.
He can easily crush the current twelve Titans.
The value is 20,000 and 2?!
When the gods heard Tartarus's metaphor, their expressions varied.
Because, earlier, the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, transmitted the memories of the seven stone tablets to the gods.
Among them are tablets of numerical calculations, and everyone understands the intuitive metaphor of Tartarus.
Because I understand, so...
Some gods were shocked, some gods couldn't believe it.
There is silence and admiration.
Various emotions either arise in the gods' hearts or appear on their faces.
As they grow, their divine power becomes stronger and their strength becomes stronger, but the realm of the four original gods has not changed.
They thought the gap between them and the original gods was closing rapidly.
But now they realize that the gap is a thousand times!
In fact, Tartarus has already said less, the real gap is even greater than his metaphor.
He said that he had just broken through to the middle stage of the peak divine power. Now, thousands of years have passed, and his divine power is many times stronger than when he first broke through, and his strength is even stronger.
