“The one I want to kill is Olivia. You should all remember her. She has already mastered the laws—and not just one. You should all understand clearly what it means to master so many laws in such a short amount of time.”
Upon hearing the Death Sovereign's words, the expressions of the gods shifted instantly.
They naturally understood what this implied: a new god was in the process of being born.
Could that Olivia truly have reached such a level?
Now, the gods understood why the Death Sovereign had disregarded its status to strike within the main world. It clearly intended to prevent the birth of a new god.
The Death Sovereign continued, “What are your thoughts, everyone? Will you simply watch as a new deity is born? If I may be blunt, there are already too many gods today. There is no need for another to appear—especially one with such an exceptionally firm stance.”
If Olivia were to achieve godhood, her allegiance was obvious. She would undoubtedly stand on the same front as the Radiant Goddess.
“The number of gods is indeed a bit high. There is no need to add another. I support the Death Sovereign's decision.”
Suddenly, another deity spoke up.
This statement caused the eyes of the gods to fall upon the speaker, who was none other than the God of Darkness.
The Radiant Goddess let out a cold sneer at this.
“That's right, I am the one who nurtured Olivia. I intend to see her become a god. If any of you have an objection, you can state it plainly right now.”
“Then, all you have to do is step over my corpse to get to her—if you have the confidence to do so.”
“However, I will also give you a word of advice: if you fail to kill Olivia before she ascends, I will join her in hunting you down until the very end.”
Hearing the Radiant Goddess's words, a trace of wariness inevitably surfaced in the eyes of the gods.
Among the deities, the Radiant Goddess was known as one of the more formidable combatants.
If possible, no one wanted to stand in direct opposition to her.
Yet, there were those who did not fear her—such as the Death Sovereign and the God of Darkness.
“Since you've put it that way, shouldn't I, having already stated my position, take the lead? In that case, let us begin,” the God of Darkness said without a hint of fear.
However, the moment the God of Darkness made a move, the figures of the Elf Goddess and the Sea God flashed, blocking his path.
“If a battle is truly to break out among the gods, then we should first settle the accounts between us,” the Sea God said with an unfriendly tone.
He had shared a good relationship with the late Dragon God. Not long ago, the God of Darkness had completely annihilated the Dragon's Nest, causing the dragon race to vanish.
The Sea God had been distressed by this for a long time, but due to the rules forbidding combat between gods, he had been unable to do much.
But at this moment, he could no longer endure it.
Following the Sea God's words, the Elf Goddess also stepped forward, staring down the God of Darkness.
Suddenly, the Radiant Goddess raised her hand and pointed toward the void. A streak of blinding light shot out, striking a figure that was attempting to escape through the nothingness.
“Elemental God of Magic, where do you think you are going?” the Radiant Goddess asked sharply.
The figure of the Elemental God of Magic manifested. He sighed and said, “I did not wish to be your enemy, but I still hope to establish a presence in the main world. If another god appears on your side, my hopes will become even slimmer. Therefore, I do not wish for a new god to emerge either.”
“The number of gods is indeed still too many,” the Sword God added at that moment.
As the Elemental God of Magic and the Sword God declared their stances, other deities followed suit, expressing their desire to prevent the birth of a new god.
These gods who opposed the new ascension were all those who had failed to establish a foothold in the main world.
The number of such deities was by no means small.
Naturally, there were also gods standing on the side of the Radiant Goddess, such as the Goddess of Fate, the Star Goddess, the Nature Goddess, and the Earth Goddess, who already belonged to the main world.
There were also the Elf Goddess and the Sea God, who had just blocked the God of Darkness.
The fifteen deities were now clearly divided into two camps, and a fierce slaughter instantly erupted.
On this day, the main world turned dark under the battle of the gods. The sun and moon lost their light, and the scene was utterly terrifying. The destructive aura caused every citizen of the main world to tremble in fear.
After all, this was a War of the Gods.
Fortunately, once the battle began, the Radiant Goddess used her divine domain to guide the conflict away, moving the fight far from Kaliron.
Had they remained, the entire city would likely have been reduced to ruins.
But even so, wherever the gods passed, they caused massive disasters. Their every movement carried incredibly powerful and terrifying lethality.
Even a minor aftershock from their clash was enough to turn an entire mountain into powder.
The earth was carved with one bottomless abyss after another by the shockwaves they released.
When they fought over the oceans, the very seawater was evaporated.
While the gods were locked in combat, Olivia was far away, comprehending the laws and elevating herself.
Perhaps stimulated by the presence of the gods, Olivia felt the speed at which she comprehended the laws accelerate.
As soon as she finished comprehending one law, the next would arrive quickly, allowing her to continue without interruption.
Olivia could naturally sense the battle of the gods.
She knew that at this moment, some deities wanted to kill her while others were helping her. For a time, her heart was filled with a complex surge of feelings.
But regardless, no one could stop her from becoming a god.
The Law of Time, the Law of Space, the Law of Fate, the Law of Causality...
All sorts of laws were rapidly grasped by Olivia.
To become a deity, one did not need to master all laws, only a portion of them.
As for which laws those were, it was naturally of vital importance to a deity.
Olivia did not realize that the laws she was currently mastering were all extremely rare and high-end. This ensured that once she became a deity, her combat power would be anything but low.
When Olivia mastered her tenth law, a wondrous sensation immediately surged into her heart.
She felt a colossal amount of divine power suddenly explode within her body, instantly permeating her entire being.
It was a feeling of sublimation, making her feel as though she had been fundamentally transformed in an instant.
