I'll kill you after I finish this game!

At that very moment, Rai Zhe's consciousness, which had merged into the [Seat], also gave a deep reminder to the Mercury Serpent.

"【It's not that it had no effect, it just didn't succeed. Although that guy has stopped his bottomless expansion, the divine power accumulated over millions of years and the rampage he previously desired will not disappear.】"

The goddess of dusk made the right choice to desperately purify the deformed cysts, but the evil god Tengu had become too powerful.

Although the disappearance of the deformed cysts has stopped the explosive and continuous expansion of the power of the Heavenly Dog Path in the Great Desire Realm, the accumulated Taiji mass will not disappear without a reason.

Although it has been reduced from an immeasurable infinity to a finite infinity level.

However, compared to the four domineering gods that have survived to this day, they still possess an incomparably powerful divine nature, unlike the domineering nature of the past when they sought the Dao.

Mara did not desire to expound any doctrines; he only wanted to be himself, to become the true "self-centered" seeker of the truth.

Although it doesn't sound like good news, it's actually very good news for the four overbearing gods who have been at a disadvantage.

Because the soul, which was no longer infinitely large due to the loss of the deformed cyst, has become a finitely infinite number now, it is no longer impossible to destroy the evil god Tengu.

The only one who has left with any strength is the Mercury Serpent. Nowadays, apart from him, who is the God of Spells, no one can suppress the Tengu Path's pressure on the throne.

The Mercury Serpent had just attempted to return Mara to his original state, but failed because of the vast difference in their mass.

Countless viewers were utterly devastated by Lei Zhe's explanation: even after the deformed cyst was removed, there was no way to return!?

That's absolutely outrageous!!!

[Möbius]: Without the deformed cyst, Mara will no longer expand without limit, but the power he has accumulated will not disappear into thin air; it is indeed his own.

【Pure White Queen】: In other words, although the power of this Mara is no longer immeasurable, it still possesses a terrifying power that is utterly despairing.

[Little Lucky Grass King]: The Goddess of Twilight desperately purified the opponent's sac, stopping its expansion. She thought that the Mercury Serpent's eagerness to take the throne would allow it to return to the opponent, but unexpectedly...

【Hundred Generations of Wisdom】: The situation is still not optimistic, but for the gods who have been at a disadvantage, there is now an opportunity to destroy the Heavenly Dog Realm of the Great Desire Realm.

【Qiao Rulai】: Although it's very slim, it's better than nothing.

【DIO】: But there's one more bad thing you shouldn't forget: the goddess of twilight is dead, which means that the principle that allows powerful gods to coexist has also disappeared.

[Old Demon King]: ...That's right, the tyrannical gods will clash with each other, the Mercury Serpent cannot fight, the three tyrannical gods can no longer unite to fight against Mara, and they will even hinder each other.

[High Priest]: Ah...this is really troublesome. The Mercury Serpent tried to return Mara, but it didn't have the desired effect.

【Black Reading Princess】: There's no way around it, the gap between them is too big. No matter how special the reason is, it's useless. Even if Mara becomes limited, he is still an incomparably terrifying existence.

【Pink Fairy】: Although the situation is not optimistic, I believe they will definitely be able to seize any opportunity to fight back.

..........

Indeed, there is still a chance, no matter how slim.

It all depends on whether the gods can seize it, and having already lost the goddess of twilight, the gods have no reason to back down.

Even when facing Mara in a life-or-death struggle, they remained fearless.

However... they hope that all the sacrifices and costs they have made are meaningful and fruitful.

"【Don't stop, keep trying! Even if the odds of success are astronomical, you can't give up. Keep trying until you die!!!】"

Urged on by Lei Zhe, the mercury serpent atop the divine throne gritted its teeth and began to relentlessly activate its principle of eternal return.

In order to increase their chances of winning, the few remaining Ghost Machine Gods began to burn themselves, turning into pure power and pouring it into their thrones, hoping to seize even the slightest chance of victory for the Mercury Serpent.

The original Reiji was unable to help deep within the Throne of the Ultimate Mystery, and the Reiji who remained in the present universe as the driving force of the Throne was also powerless to do so.

But he couldn't give up either, and he continued to squeeze every last drop out of himself, even if it meant his consciousness was collapsing, he still wanted to increase the power for the return of the God Throne and the Mercury Serpent.

If he fails, his fallen ship girls will never come back, so failure is not an option!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Originating from the Taiji Divine Throne of All Things, waves of silvery divine power continuously emanated from the throne, repeatedly staining the current void world and launching a return attack on the Heavenly Dog Path of the Great Desire Realm.

The principles of the Heavenly Dog Path in the Great Desire Realm are constantly clashing and struggling with the principle of eternal return.

However, the eternal moment, the Wheel-Turning Saint King, and the Golden Beast, who are bound by these two principles, are not having an easy time.

They all knew what the Mercury Serpent was doing, so they tried their best not to reject or resist it.

Furthermore, they must fully cooperate in attacking Mara, pushing him into the vortex of return by following the silvery divine power fluctuations.

This was very difficult for the three of them, especially for the Wheel-Turning King.

The goddess of dusk has died in battle, and the principle of coexistence and symbiosis has been destroyed.

These three powerful gods, who still possessed combat abilities, could only compete while fighting the invaders.

They are holding each other back and fighting against their only enemy.

In this situation, Skadi is least able to use her transcendence principle, because that would also be a reaction against the principle of eternal recurrence.

For Mercury Serpent's operation to succeed, she cannot become an obstacle.

Even returning to the original state that one despises is better than becoming the sixth heaven in the Desire Realm's Heavenly Dog Path.

Skadi dislikes both of them, but she dislikes the latter more.

Therefore, even though the three of them couldn't use their full strength, they were doing their best to stop Mara's rebellion against the Mercury Serpent.

They encouraged and rebuked each other, fighting back to back, all for the success of the Mercury Serpent's operation. Their fighting spirit was worthy of the name of heroes.

"call out----!!!"

The golden divine spark of the God of Destiny's Spear emitted an incomparably dazzling brilliance, shooting towards the Heavenly Dog Path of the Great Desire Realm once again like a meteor.

The evil god Tengu was no longer as unguarded as before, but clearly adopted a defensive and evasive stance.

The continuous injuries made him realize, even with his childlike mindset, that these three divine beings could cause him very unpleasant minor harm, which is why he tried to dodge them.

Moreover, Mara is an existence that values ​​himself immensely and is extremely self-centered.

He considered himself to be a noble and incomparably high-ranking Heavenly Dog of the Great Desire Realm, so he could not tolerate even the slightest wound on his body.

Therefore, even wounds that ordinary people can ignore cannot be ignored by him. In a sense, Mara is also undoubtedly bound by his own desires.

And it was precisely because of this that, in order to attract the attention of the evil god Tengu, the three domineering gods risked their lives against each other.

"Skadi, this can't go on. I'm about to take a risk. Are you willing to trust me this once?"

Suddenly, the golden beasts, who were competing and fighting against their single enemy in the battle, secretly conveyed their will to the Wheel King.

Just as he said, this is not a solution at all.

The probability of the Mercury Serpent eternally returning to Mara, even after eliminating the deformed cysts, is still astronomical.

They were all betting their lives and souls on this astronomical probability of success.

Therefore, since the goal is victory, we must spare no effort to intensify our planning and increase our chances of winning.

Since the success rate of the Mercury Serpent is low, and the three overbearing gods on their side cannot exert their full strength due to competition, it is necessary to eliminate and rewrite these two unfavorable factors.

Skadi was no fool either. When she overheard the Golden Beast secretly conversing with her behind Eternal Moment of Light's back, she roughly guessed what kind of crazy plan he was going to carry out.

Even in her madness, Skadi had no complaints and would agree with Reinhardt.

Because they were once rivals, Skadi knew very well that as long as they were on the battlefield and on the same side as Reinhardt, they could rest assured to listen to the suggestions of this top-notch battlefield commander.

With the ability to lead troops and employ different tactics for different situations, Reinhardt, this genius commander, is undoubtedly the king of demons who should live on the battlefield.

"[To bet everything on Setsuna? It's undoubtedly a very risky, but also the most suitable, strategy.]"

"【Your principle of transcendence can no longer be used arbitrarily because Karl is currently present. Furthermore, my existence as a self-destructive factor would hinder my friends. Only Karl's successor, Setsuna, is the most suitable person to remain."

"[...Yes, although she is independent, the connection is not only in terms of divine power and bloodline, but also, most importantly, on the level of cause and effect. With the Mercury Serpent present, she is the most suitable person to remain and fight in this environment.]"

The strategy of sacrificing the Mercury Serpent and Eternal Moment, while leaving behind the Golden Beast and the Wheel-Turning King, is undeniably a very dangerous one.

Because it's impossible to determine how effective this plan will be, and Setsuna is a god who is better at protecting.

The Golden Beast directly addressed the concerns raised by the Wheel-Turning Saint King.

"Then let her become a true 'hell'."

Yes, let eternity become true hell.

If the other party is the principle of protection, but there is nothing left to protect, can Setsuna still be Setsuna?

Although this approach is cruel, neither the Wheel-Turning King nor the Golden Beast are indecisive.

They could not tolerate failure, nor could they allow the Great Desire Realm's Heavenly Dog Path to become the Sixth Heaven, rather than suffer eternal, fleeting pain.

Therefore, they did not expect her to understand at first glance, but only that she would know the meaning behind their actions.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend!

I don't know how well the plot point of the battle between Mara and Satan was written. The author tried to balance both sides so that neither side could lose their setting and prestige. It is also quite realistic that Mara, after the swelling was removed, could not be successfully returned. After all, even if the accumulated power no longer expands, he is still an incomparably powerful god.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: In That Moment, Love Transcending Self

They could no longer afford to waste their energy; the Wheel-Turning Saint King and the Golden Beast had made their choice.

Perhaps this choice is too cruel and unfair to Eien Setsuna, but the current situation does not allow them to hesitate.

Moreover, they only have the choice between bad and worse.

From the moment this battle in the divine realm began, they have never truly gained the upper hand.

With heroic sacrifices, the gods of the Fifth Heaven Throne strive to reduce the hopeless gap between themselves and the Heavenly Dog Realm of the Great Desire Realm.

From the beginning of the story to the present, the evil god Tengu still holds the upper hand.

Countless people sacrificed themselves to open the inner workings of the evil god, and then the goddess of dusk sacrificed herself to purify the cyst. They only gained a sliver of a chance to defeat Mara.

As for whether or not they can seize this opportunity, no one is 100% certain.

However, the Wheel-Turning Holy King and the Golden Beast were willing to trade their lives for a chance at victory.

"Ha! To destroy for love, even at the cost of my own life, I have never felt so exhilarated and fulfilled as I do now!!!"

Even when facing imminent death, the golden beast remained filled with joy and love, its domineering nature surging with its desires and emotions.

Faced with Mara's infinitely large attack, far exceeding his own mass, he felt incredibly excited and thrilled to be in the position of the weak against the absolutely strong.

He had been looking forward to this situation, not being challenged, but being the challenger and facing all sorts of desperate situations.

Only in this way can the hunger of the golden beast be satisfied, and only in this way can Reinhard feel the true feeling of being alive!

"My love is destruction; I know nothing else, and I can do nothing else. This is the source of my domineering nature!"
