Chapter 2036 The Promise to Turn to Ashes Together
Why am I still just an ordinary person?
Because he wanted to strive as a mortal first, because he wasn't interested in becoming a god... Blaze could think of many reasons, but he knew clearly that these were secondary.

The real, most important reason is that becoming a god is harmful.

It's not that becoming a god will bring about a transformation from the inside out, from the body to the spirit, that's harmful; rather, it's a more real and harmful process.

【totem】.

Once someone becomes a god, a totem that matches the god will appear on earth in a resonant manner. The god and the totem coexist. No matter which one changes, the other will change in the same way. Conversely, if one remains unchanged, the other will remain unchanged forever.

The relationship between gods and totems makes gods almost eternal, but true eternity does not exist. Even in nothingness, primordial creator gods are born, let alone individual gods.

[The world is turned upside down], the rotation and changes of the world, the totems that coexist with the gods are so casually, as if they are just affected and cut into pieces, and the gods will also be severely damaged as a result.

Death is merely the easiest outcome; what is more terrifying is that at the moment the world's rotation and change cease, the haphazardly pieced-together totems will cause a profound transformation, from the inside out, to the deity with which they coexist.

Fraud, the protector of thieves, can freely deceive the friendship of the guardian deity, and the god who cuts off the head of the guardian deity will gain a just heart and thus know pain.

The once fair and impartial judge of souls has become a brutal beast, forever lost and unable to set foot on the tranquil and beautiful reed plains.

The very structure of this world implies constant change and the constant emergence of new possibilities, while the gods, who occupy at least two slots and symbolize eternity, are the complete opposite.

Gods and their totems are like spider webs stuck to the world, either unconsciously or actively preventing the world from changing. The result, of course, is that they are ruthlessly shattered and destroyed by the rules at the deeper level of this world.

Becoming a god means facing such consequences, which is why Blaze never truly became a god.

So far, he has regained his divine body several times, although not many times, and although each time he seemed to be exploring a loophole outside the world, he could sense that such luck would not happen many more times.

Tiamat's Nebula Roar attack forcibly stopped his deification, which ultimately helped him.

"You ushered in a new era where the gods are dead, and liberated the world from true change and freedom, but such a new era cannot accommodate you, the god of the old era."

"How ironic." The multi-horned hybrid turned and disappeared into the shadows without leaving a trace.

Amidst the comings and goings of people, Blazer, standing still, attracted attention.

Humans are nothing special, but a goddess who is the embodiment of the sun is enough to attract attention.

"Blaze, Blaze?" Amaterasu patted Blaze's face and asked worriedly, "Are you alright? That guy was talking nonsense. You don't need to become a god to fight the Great Beast God."

“Gungnir is no pushover, and with me, the Supreme Sun, and Herbie along, the Primal Giants are far stronger than gods.”

Blaze let out a strong breath and pinched Amaterasu's cheek.

"Don't worry, I've thought about this kind of problem before. I originally planned to worry about it in another two or three hundred years, but I didn't expect the Great Beast God to bring it forward."

"So what do you think?" Amaterasu pursed her lips and muttered, "I also thought that I should wait at least another two or three hundred years before asking you what you planned to do."

"Hmm... the answer is, we're not considering that for now." Blazer shrugged and chose to run away.

Running away is shameful, but it's useful.

“Actually, I have a terrible idea.” Amaterasu looked around, then snuggled close to Blaze’s ear and whispered, “I saw that bastard so arrogantly saying that the Great Beast God would definitely win, and I really can’t think of anything below the gods that could beat you, except for the Strangers. So I think the Great Beast God will also break through the limits and become a god. Only then will he be qualified to compete with you.”

"And he also hinted at the impact of the cataclysmic upheaval on the gods of the old era, clearly regarding it as the key to the decisive battle between you and the Great Beast God. So I think the Great Beast God must have some way to ignore the cataclysmic upheaval."

"And then, that..."

Amaterasu gritted her teeth and almost pressed her lips to Blaze's ear before uttering the words that only the two of them could hear.

"How about we revive the Great Beast God, and then before they cause any cataclysmic damage to you, we can steal the Great Beast God's method to become immune to the cataclysmic events."

"Ah."

"Huh!? You agreed!?" Amaterasu leaned on Blaise's shoulders in disbelief, creating some distance between them.

"Why do I feel like you're actually looking forward to me rejecting your proposal?" Blazer chuckled, turning his head and poking Amaterasu's forehead.

"Of course you'd refuse! How could you possibly agree to do that?!"

"Because I wanted to see if you really wanted to do it."

Amaterasu raised her fist expressionlessly and slammed it into Blaze's head with a thud. Blaze's face was instantly deformed by the immense force, and half of his body was buried in the ground.

Blaze knew Amaterasu's expression to some extent; she was genuinely angry. If she puffed out her cheeks to look angry, it would actually mean she wasn't angry at all.

"hiss--"

Blaze clutched his head, feeling as if his skull was about to be smashed. Amaterasu's blow was truly meant to teach him a lesson; it was an extremely powerful strike.

"Does it hurt?" Amaterasu asked in a cold voice as she knelt before Blaze, whose body was half-submerged in the ground.

"It hurts pretty much." Blazer chuckled awkwardly, realizing he'd gone too far with his joke. He'd originally intended to say, "Thank you for providing a wrong option."

This might be the answer Amaterasu was hoping for.

"Did you learn your lesson?"

"It's grown too long, I won't do it again next time." Blaze shook his head vigorously, his angry Amaterasu exuding an air of authority.

Amaterasu raised her hand again, and Blaze instinctively shrank his neck, but Amaterasu didn't hit him again. Instead, she hugged his upper body.

"Don't go bad, Blazer."

"If you turn bad and become the person you used to hate, I will turn to ashes with you. I will not let this world bear any trace of your unpleasantness."

"Haha~ That's really heavy." Blaze patted Amaterasu on the back and chuckled, "But with your assurance, I feel much more at ease."
