Two more minutes passed, and the energy of the Disintegration Ray continued to weaken, eventually stopping completely. The once incomparably dazzling purple sun in the sky was now incredibly dim, its light not even as bright as the moon. It looked weak and on the verge of collapse.
Ya'er had truly done her best, and she weakly conveyed a message to her brother: "Is it enough? Gohr, is it enough?"
The once ambitious Gohr was now on the verge of death. His body was covered in wounds, and the essence of his power constantly flowed from his scarred body, causing his entire form to shrink by several circles, leaving him only half his original size.
For the Ancient Gods, size often represents power. This meant that after being ravaged by the Disintegration Ray, Gohr was left with only half of his original power.
This was a huge loss that would probably be difficult to make up for even in tens of thousands of years.
"Is it enough? Do you want some more?" Gohr asked through gritted teeth.
"It's gone for now, brother. I'm almost drained..." Ya'er didn't detect the anger and sarcasm in Gohr's tone, and he honestly answered seriously.
However, to Gohr, this response meant that if Ya'er had any excess energy, he would continue to use the Disintegration Ray!
Extremely furious, Gohr ignored his body's weakness and rushed towards the sky.
If Ya'er really launched another blast, Gohr didn't want to experience the pain of having his body cut apart by the Disintegration Ray again.
The entire Exile Lands began to tremble. Myriad Mountains, which had already stopped erupting during the day, shook the most violently. Large amounts of rock began to collapse, and scarlet, scorching magma flowed out of the bursting mountain again. Not only Myriad Mountains, but also the dozen or so surrounding peaks were doing the same.
Giant beasts hidden underground were breaking out of the earth.
Even the Kadar Outpost, hundreds of miles away, could feel the strong tremors, but they were not enough to pose a threat. After all, this was not a real earthquake, but merely an Ancient God emerging from the ground.
Moreover, this Ancient God was not the usual kind that parasitized the interior of planets, but the Sun God who controlled the sky.
If it were the few in Azeroth, let alone breaking the seal and returning to the ground, even turning over would probably cause a large-scale magnitude 8 earthquake!
Aiden didn't even need to give specific instructions; the soldiers of the Allied Forces had already spontaneously gathered in open areas to guard against the tremors.
After a dozen minutes, Myriad Mountains began to collapse, and countless huge cracks appeared in the ground. Then, the ground bulged, and magma erupted wildly, turning the surrounding hundred miles into a sea of lava. Even Aiden, hundreds of miles away, could smell the sulfur coming from that direction.
After brewing for so long, Gohr finally gradually revealed his true colors—Aiden didn't expect that it was actually a black sun!
He couldn't help but look at Zachariah, and the old priest said in a deep voice, "Legend has it that Gohr was a white-gold sun before his fall. Later, in the War of the Ancients, he killed his own father, the Mountain King Tarim, and then fell in the place where his father died, so that his white-gold body was stained black by Tarim's blood. It seems that this legend is true."
From another perspective, it meant that Gohr had absorbed a portion of Tarim's power?
Aiden learned the truth about the War of the Ancients and the even more distant Silithus legends from Ra'al, so he made this guess based on the habits of the Ancient Gods.
Gohr emerged from the ground, his entire body erupting with black flames, and then slowly flew into the sky. The evil aura emitted by this Ancient God made Aiden extremely sensitive, and also very familiar, because the Twilight Dragon also used the same power.
"He is free again..." Saint Zachariah sighed. He couldn't help but think that if Ya'er had just a little more energy, perhaps he could have directly killed Gohr.
How wonderful that would have been!
"Don't worry, he won't cause any big waves. I guarantee it to you," Aiden said confidently.
—
When Gohr returned to the sky, Ya'er, who was several beats behind, realized that the seal had been lifted. He happily conveyed his surprise to his brother: "So you've already broken through the seal, Gohr!"
"Whether I've broken through the seal or not, aren't you clear about it?" Gohr asked, suppressing his anger.
"I don't know!" Ya'er replied innocently.
"Hmph!" Gohr snorted coldly. He wouldn't be as foolish as his brother, being schemed against without even knowing it. Gohr was very clear that someone must have shielded Ya'er's senses, preventing him from knowing the specific situation at the time, which was why he did such a stupid thing of accidentally hurting himself. Ya'er had no reason to do such a self-defeating thing.
Having been tricked for no reason, the extremely proud Gohr just wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.
He couldn't really beat Ya'er up to vent his anger, so he could only change his target.
Gohr stared at Vek'nilash, who was parasitizing Ya'er, this "kindred."
"Kindred" only meant that they both belonged to the Ancient Gods, or rather, to the "light-dark sensitive symbiotic parasites" in the Titans' words. However, this didn't mean that the Ancient Gods would completely treat their kindred as their own—just like the war between the four Sun Gods and the Mountain King Tarim in ancient times. The latter was an Ancient God that parasitized the planet, while Gohr and his brothers were Ancient Gods that depended on the planet. In fact, the two didn't interfere with each other, but they still broke out into a fierce war.
The Ancient Gods were well aware that they could strengthen themselves by devouring each other. This one reason alone was enough to make them fight each other to the death.
It was a pity that Gohr and his brothers couldn't determine the winner with Tarim, but they allowed the foreign Titans, united with Ra'al, to reap the benefits.
Gohr certainly hated the Titans, and also hated Ra'al—this goddess was usually silent, so that the Ancient Gods regarded her as transparent when they fought each other. She also didn't interfere in their struggles at all.
The Ancient Gods were happy to see this—not that they were afraid of Ra'al. They were all True Gods, who was afraid of whom? It was just that the two sides in the battle didn't want to offend a powerful and neutral enemy first.
However, after being stabbed hard by Ra'al in the War of the Ancients, Gohr was now eager to take revenge on her. Moreover, he had a reason to kill Ra'al—after the Moon Goddess cooperated with the Pantheon, she had the authority to use the Titan devices. This included the device for releasing void energy. And this device would make Gohr incredibly powerful, powerful enough to counterattack the Pantheon and kill all enemies!
The End of Time!
As long as the Pantheon was overthrown, who could stop the arrival of the End of Time?
Gohr thought of a lot in an instant. He quickly came back to his senses and stared at Vek'nilash again: "You! It was you who released the ray and injured me. I'll eat you to make up for a little loss, you won't object, will you?"
Vek'nilash "fearfully" hid behind Ya'er, not daring to say a word.
Faced with Gohr's very unkind gaze, Ya'er took the lead to stand up: "Gohr, my brother, Vek'nilash's ability is very special, we still need to use his Disintegration Ray to deal with Ra'al! You can't eat him now!"
This slow-reacting Sun God was now clear-headed: "We'll eat him after killing Ra'al, right?"
Neither brother cared about Vek'nilash's life or death. After all, the four of them, the Sun Gods, were the masters of Silithus. Who told Vek'nilash to come too late and be too weak?
This kind of little thing, after losing its value, wouldn't it be better to eat it than to keep it and let it develop and grow?
Gohr still stared at Vek'nilash, dismissing his brother's words: "Can't I gain his special ability by eating him?"
Vek'nilash showed frightened big eyes behind Ya'er, shivering there, as if afraid that the other party would eat him. However, the true thoughts in his heart were very dark:
'An ultraviolet ray, a destruction ray, are both good research materials'
'I'll soon put you on my dissection table and analyze your structure and principles step by step'
'Greed? Appetite? Ancient Gods lacking wisdom'
"I'm afraid it won't work, Gohr," Ya'er helped Vek'nilash. "When he first came to Silithus a year ago, I also had the same idea, but his Disintegration Ray was learned acquiredly, not possessed innately. We can only get a little insignificant energy by eating him."
"Oh?" Gohr became interested at this moment, and he asked sternly: "Little bug, tell me, how is this Disintegration Ray released?"
Before Vek'nilash could answer, Gohr added fiercely: "I'm in a very bad mood now. If you disobey me in the slightest, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Vek'nilash shook his head vigorously to deny, and then he showed a tentacle, and the three light bulb-like devices above his eyes also bloomed with special light. These lights constructed a projection in front of him, just like a blackboard.
The blackboard was covered with dense mathematical formulas and equations, as well as explanatory documents and molecular formulas, which seemed very detailed and full of mathematical beauty—but it was just incomprehensible.
"Great Gohr, this is a complete analysis of the construction method, derivation process, release conditions, and effects of the Disintegration Ray. If you want to know, I can explain it to you step by step. Let's look at the first equation, this X represents..."
Vek'nilash spat out a series of mathematical terms that made people feel unclear and powerful. Gohr understood most of the words, but he didn't know what this little thing was talking about at all.
He now finally understood why Ya'er had been loyal to Vek'nilash for more than a year, but still couldn't release the Disintegration Ray himself.
To learn this spell, you actually have to start learning mathematics from scratch?
Even though Gohr considered himself extremely intelligent, he felt a huge headache when he saw this string of equations. He really wanted to eat Vek'nilash in one bite, chew it up and swallow it to digest it, so as not to let this little thing keep saying things he couldn't understand to mock his IQ.
But he looked at the bright moon on the other side of the sky again, and could only suppress this thought.
"No need to explain!" Gohr stared at Vek'nilash, interrupting the other party's explanation, and gritted his teeth, "I'll eat you after killing Ra'al! I mean what I say!"
