Chapter 366: Power of Creation
Gods continued to fall, and the God Realm was steadily collapsing.
The battlefield had shifted from the skies above Douluo Star into the God Realm itself. Sounds of battle echoed throughout, divine abilities flaring brilliantly, streaking across the sky and exploding among the combatants. Roars and shockwaves filled the air, and the terrifying energy fluctuations had turned the once-beautiful God Realm into a scene of utter ruin.
Boom!
A devastating punch landed. The God of Destruction, for what seemed like the countless time, was struck by Shaka's heavy blow. His entire body jolted violently, coughing blood again, staining his purple cloak crimson.
The tide of battle weighed heavily on the God of Destruction. By now, all first-tier gods had fallen. The remaining second- and third-tier gods, divine officials, and patrol deities were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter. Each divine technique unleashed would claim the lives of swathes of gods.
"Xiao Lu, for the sake of the God Realm, it's time for us to make our sacrifice."
Determination filled the God of Destruction's eyes as never before. He opened his arms, and his eyes gradually turned deep purple. A haze of purple light burst forth from within him.
Purple lightning occasionally flashed across the sky, and the terrifying aura of destruction filled the surrounding air.
All present gods were visibly shocked—the God of Destruction was burning his divine flame.
"Xiao Zi!"
The Goddess of Life, tears in her eyes, also spread her arms. A gentle life force radiated from her body outward.
Behind her appeared her true form—the Ancient Tree of Life—its emerald glow brilliant and vibrant.
Branches unfurled, and leaves shimmered with radiant energy. An overwhelmingly potent life aura spread outward, turning the area into a vast ocean of vitality.
One purple, one green—two dazzling lights soared into the sky, rising higher and higher.
When they reached a certain height, they suddenly split into 108 streams of light, shooting toward the heart of the God Realm and landing upon the 108 Pillars of Thought.
These 108 pillars represented the 108 worlds under the jurisdiction of the Douluo God Realm.
Within the Thought Pillars resided the collective spiritual force, laws, and faith of those worlds—some of the God Realm's most fundamental sources of power.
The purple force of destruction and the green force of life landed simultaneously upon the pillars—two diametrically opposed forces that, at this moment, began to merge.
An eerie pink light radiated from each of the 108 pillars.
This strange hue carried such grandeur that the entire God Realm was struck with awe the moment it appeared.
Pink halos began to drift upward from the pillars. The God of Life's vitality and the God of Destruction's power intertwined and fused within this radiant aura.
Starting from the 108 pillars, this pink energy began to spread across the entire realm.
"This… is the power of creation."
The last remaining Divine King—the God of Kindness—closed his eyes in pain as the pink light gradually overtook the sky.
The true meaning of life and destruction… was creation.
Creation was a new beginning, a vision born from the union of destruction and life. But it also meant that creation would erase them.
When the power of creation reached its peak, both life and destruction would cease to exist. Everything would start anew. All that would remain were two seeds—representing life and destruction.
The God of Life and the God of Destruction would vanish from the God Realm.
Boom!
At the moment when the powers of life and destruction fully fused, an immense wave of creation energy burst forth. The terrifying pressure shook the gods of the Underworld to their core.
"Haaah!"
Shaka roared, unleashing all his power, charging directly into the surge of creation energy.
Shaka, Aiolos, Dohko, and many other top-tier deities unleashed their strength as well. The vast energy coalesced in midair, forming a counterforce that stood against the divine creation energy released by the fusion of the God of Life and the God of Destruction.
"All of the God Realm, assist the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life with everything you have!"
The God of Kindness, face filled with grief and resolve, raised both hands high. All his divine power surged out like a falling star and merged into the power of creation.
"Swear to defend the God Realm!"
"Swear to defend the God Realm!"
"Swear to defend the God Realm!"
In a thunderous wave of cries, the remaining second- and third-tier gods released their full power. Countless beams of light rose into the sky, streaming one after another into the force of creation formed by the fusion of life and destruction.
With the full support of the God Realm's remaining gods, the fused creation force unleashed even greater might. The weaker Underworld gods could no longer withstand it and fell to their knees instantly.
Shaka, Shaga, Aiolos, Dohko, and other god-king-level beings struggled to hold their ground. But their expressions grew increasingly grave, sweat pouring from their brows.
"Sinners who dared to upend the God Realm—atone with your lives!"
From within the pink sphere of light, the God of Destruction's voice rang out, murderous and cold. The light advanced toward the Underworld gods like a grinding tide.
"God of Destruction, do you think you're the only one who holds the power of creation in this world?"
A black pillar of light shot into the sky. Xiao Yu rose into the air with six wings spread behind him, hovering above the Underworld gods.
"Underworld—Rise!"
The space behind Xiao Yu twisted violently as the power of the Underworld King erupted. The entire Underworld, once detached from Douluo Star, expanded outward from Xiao Yu's body, ravenously devouring the God Realm's strength.
A cry of terror came from the God of Destruction: "This is… the power of creation?! How can that be? How can you possess the power of creation?!"
Xiao Yu sneered coldly. "Why not? God of Destruction, don't you ever think? If I hadn't mastered a higher-level plane beyond the God Realm, how else could so many gods without divine thrones even exist here?"
Two supreme forces of creation collided violently. The shockwaves instantly swept across the God Realm. The entire realm trembled, the heavens shook, the land quaked.
"My comrades—lend me your strength!"
Xiao Yu raised the Hades Sword high, his commanding voice echoing across all corners of the realm.
Below, the gods of the Underworld responded as the gods of the God Realm had moments before, unleashing all their power toward the sky.
Countless streams of energy poured into Xiao Yu's body. In that instant, his form expanded more than a hundredfold.
