Chapter 172 - 172 The Kingdom Of God Is Promoted, And The World Tree Takes Root

[Looting Complete.]

[Storm Origin Divine Power (Red)]

The cornerstone power of storms and thunder, imbued with devastating destructive force.

Grants absolute control over storm and lightning.

Can alter the energy fields of real space, stripping away the powers of others who wield storm or thunder.

Divine lightning can strike directly at both mind and soul.

Eye of the Storm: Creates an absolute domain outside of any world or dimension, its perimeter wreathed in endless thunder and storm.

Spear of Thunder: Can pierce through world barriers themselves.

Russell was momentarily surprised as he read the entry. He had faced the Spear of Thunder before—its sheer threat was enough to force him to rely on spatial power just to dodge. A direct confrontation would have been suicide.

Yet the Eye of the Storm had never been used against him.

If not for the God of Deception's sudden betrayal, Russell might have been forced to flee. To locate an enemy hiding outside all dimensions would have been nearly impossible.

But now—this ability was his. An unexpected boon.

[Knowledge Origin Divine Power (Red)]

The ultimate power of cognition and reconstruction.

Grants unmatched analysis and reconstruction ability.

Note: the stronger the target, the longer the analysis.

Reconstruction allows duplication, but not full possession.

Can strip away another's knowledge and cognition, or forcibly inject vast amounts of data.

Grants the ability to digitize one's body, ignoring physical, soul, and mental damage of the same level.

Against higher-level attacks, damage is still reduced.

Note: Pure digitization consumes vast amounts of Origin Power—use with caution.

Though this entry was short, Russell immediately recognized its strength.

Analysis and reconstruction… Without a doubt, it was largely thanks to this ability that the God of Knowledge had been able to manifest the Living Tribunal's form.

The downside was the long analysis time, or else this would be an overwhelming combat ability.

But the second function—the forced manipulation of knowledge and cognition—was terrifying.

If not for the Kingdom of the Heart and the Rune of Runes protecting him, Russell would have been enslaved on the spot.

Even one second of lost control could have changed the entire battle.

Now, with the Mother Goddess's assistance gone and her power absorbed, this ability had become his. Against beings with weak minds, this was a true dimensionality-reduction strike.

Even entities above the multiverse would not emerge unscathed if their wills were fragile.

Of course, Russell thought grimly, such weaknesses were rare among beings of that level.

[Mother Goddess's Origin Divine Power (Red)]

The divine essence of life, vitality, and eternal rebirth.

Grants unparalleled vitality and extreme regenerative ability.

If not slain instantly, the user heals in the very next moment.

Lullaby: Soothes the soul, heals spiritual wounds, and can force sleep.

Requiem: Restores the soul… or can plunge it into eternal slumber.

Birthright: Can resurrect any being below one's own level through rebirth, or resurrect oneself by reincarnating within the womb of another female lifeform.

Russell exhaled slowly. These ancient gods truly were not weak.

Without the system's plundering function, the Mother Goddess would never have been defeated.

Even if destroyed, she would eventually resurrect in some other life once her divine power was fully digested.

This ability had now become one of his strongest trump cards.

And more unsettling—Russell realized the system's authority was far greater than he had imagined.

[God of War's Origin Divine Power (Red)]

The divine essence of battle, rage, and destruction.

Grants ultimate combat strength.

Power increases infinitely with rage, with no ceiling.

Can shatter space itself.

Ignores seals and mental control.

Drawback: entering Rage state upon activation.

Brutal. Direct. Simple.

Just like the God of War himself.

For Russell, however, this was no mere blunt weapon—it filled a critical weakness.

With his ascension to the multidimensional level, his close-quarters combat had become his greatest vulnerability.

Now, with the God of War's power coursing through him, that weakness was gone.

Finally, this was the moment Russell had been waiting for.

[Origin Power of Deception (Red)]

Possesses the authority to make lies become truth.

Can shake both time and reality.

[After loading this entry, will it integrate or exist independently?]

Russell was taken aback. A multi-layered entry? Normally, entries had always fused automatically. Why did this one offer a choice?

He quickly realized the reason: full integration would cause significant changes.

After a moment of thought, Russell chose Integrate.

From the beginning until now, the system had never disappointed him. Integration had always led to greater strength—abandoning that chance would be foolish.

[All entries have been loaded.]

[Origin Power of Deception—Decomposing…]

[Decomposition complete.]

[You have obtained: The Power of Lies, The Power of Words!]

Successfully absorbed the divine power of Words.

Successfully absorbed the divine power of Runes.

Now wields the authority to rewrite reality itself.

Note: This power is not an illusion. The reality it alters is eternal.

Power of Lies: The absolute force of deception. Can rewrite contracts, nullify promises, and alter the foundations of binding oaths.

In an instant, a tidal wave of divine power erupted within Russell. His Spiritual Kingdom expanded wildly, swelling until it dwarfed even the real universe.

New temples, shrines, and sanctuaries rose within the Silver City—each one representing a divine power he had claimed.

A bell tolled. The sound echoed not only through his kingdom but within the hearts of all who believed in him.

This was the anchor point—the divine resonance.

At that moment, all of Russell's powers surged dramatically in strength.

He opened his eyes. A blinding white light burst forth.

Across the multiverse, the barriers of countless dimensions trembled. Every Sorcerer Supreme of every timeline froze in shock and dread.

They knew. If that being willed it, he could shatter their barriers with ease.

But the next instant, Russell merely glanced at "himself" in reflection—then cast his gaze into the endless void.

Something shifted.

The great domains forged by the merging of tens of thousands of lower dimensions cracked apart, unraveling until each was once again separate and disconnected.

The vast vision that had manifested in reality faded. The hidden lower dimensions of Yggdrasil's roots slipped back into obscurity.

And then—unseen by all—Russell's figure fell like a meteor, vanishing into the unseen realms.

On Earth, only the charred remains of the World Tree's roots remained, lifeless and barren.

"Do not fear. A new life has already begun."

The voice resounded as reality itself shifted.

From the blackened roots came a faint pulse, growing steadily stronger until—finally—a green sprout burst forth.

Cracks split across reality, revealing the vast spiritual kingdom behind it.

The seedling trembled, uprooted itself, and soared upward into Russell's divine realm. There, beneath the Silver City, it took root and grew, becoming a colossal tree of impossible grandeur.

Within its lush branches, three radiant figures appeared—three women cloaked in white light.

The Goddesses of Fate—reborn with the World Tree—now ascended as the Three Angels of Fate.

And so, in the mortal world…

There was no longer a World Tree.

No longer the lingering shadow of Ragnarök.

The Twilight of the Gods had ended—completely.
