I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Ah, it's like I've seen this person before, like I've heard their voice before, like I've heard their opening remarks before—it's so familiar it's nauseating.

"This nauseating feeling always manages to fuel my nameless rage uncontrollably..."

The killing intent caused the space around the [seat] to shake like an earthquake, and the killing intent that seemed to explode from the universe overflowed and splashed out uncontrollably.

As if in a distant place where the source and direction could not be found, as a sense of knowing filled the Valkyrie's heart, a familiar will, as if brewed and honed countless times, precisely propelled Skadi's anger and killing intent.

The slaughter begins, unleashing the wrath of Vajra, destroying the very culprit that reduced all of your possessions to nothingness...

The complex and viscous, terrifying will caused Skadi's body to burn with the power of the Word of Wrath. Countless beings in the vast world, infected by her, uncontrollably fell into a frenzied rage and began to vent their unspeakable fury.

With just the overflow of anger and murderous intent, countless universes began to burn and evaporate before the chilling gaze of the audience.

Within its inner world, countless beings were consumed by murderous intent and rage, their souls becoming uncontrollably rampaged.

Even through the video, countless viewers could feel the terrifying power within that anger and killing intent, a power capable of obliterating all concepts.

Although they didn't actually destroy the universe like before, their anger and murderous intent caused an even more terrifying destruction than before.

Is this... the wrath of God?

As the audience watched Skadi, her body burning with tangible rage, clutching her forehead and furrowing her brow, they couldn't help but think to themselves.

"Click——"

However, at a certain moment, a ticking sound, like the second hand, rang out.

Immediately afterwards, time began to uncontrollably stroll backward, regressing by one step.

The unstoppable flow of time began to reverse.

Even the universe, which had been burned to nothingness by Skadi's rage, began to recover to its original state at a visible speed.

As the divine power, the color of mercury, enveloped and flowed, light and all things receded and flowed backward at an incredible speed.

The Mercury Serpent still wore a pleased and playful smile, but its will began to move against the light, replaying all the changes, and finally restoring it to its original form.

"Snapped--!"

But just as that reversed flow of time descended upon Skadi, her uncontrollable rage exploded as if ignited, directly repelling that divine power that defied time.

Skadi was not affected by the reverse time flow, but at the moment her anger exploded, she also entered the state of "nothingness", avoiding the complex will that could not be found to have a source, and no longer letting it drive her anger.

At least it's not something that's being pushed forward now. Even if Skadi can't find the source, she can probably guess that it's probably her own will, which has gone through countless reincarnations, resonating with her across the vast expanse of time.

"The known toxicity is an unfortunate reality beyond my control, and it is understandable that you are so angry. In this regard, my apology would be meaningless, Lord Skadi."

Mercury Serpent propped her face up with her leg crossed, and said in a soft voice that sounded both like a smile and madness, "I can apologize, but I have no intention of apologizing at all."

They didn't care about Skadi's murderous intent when she charged at the seat, because no matter if it were Reinhardt, Fujii Ren, or Matilda, they wouldn't care.

Everyone who comes here will be like Skadi, driven by their own will, which is twisted and piled up into an eternal circle, fueling their killing intent and anger. In addition, the sense of repulsion that arises involuntarily between each other's laws will also give rise to killing intent.

"If you hadn't put your butt on the seat, it wouldn't matter whether I controlled my anger or not. Why don't you try to taste the unknown of death?"

Skadi, whose face was as serene and ethereal as that of a Buddha, uttered some rather impolite words.

If the Mercury Serpent dares to break free from the mechanism of the [Seat] and allow its own laws to permeate all things in contact, Skadi will not hesitate to follow her anger and beat the Mercury Serpent in front of her.

"My lovely one, but you've already decided on the path you want to take, haven't you?" Mercury Serpent chuckled softly, burying her face in her chest at Skadi's blunt words, and said, "Ahhh~~~~, as the shadow of the goddess, you are more outstanding, more adorable, and more endearing than any of my jewelry..."

"Moreover, although we are tired of sitting on the throne for so long, we cannot die yet, nor can we taste the unknown of death, whether it is sweet or bitter."

The serpent's calm voice contained a mad, obsessive will; the death of all living beings in the universe beneath its feet would not cause any unknown phenomena.

His death alone represents a vast unknown beginning.

It was so alluring and intoxicating, luring the snake into a frenzy of death, its heart filled with insatiable hunger as it tasted the supreme unknown.

But the two supreme treasures hung the serpent on the precipice of the abyss of death, plunging it into a frenzied contradiction of wanting to live and also wanting to die.

Those two supreme treasures are, firstly, the woman I love most, and secondly, the best friend.

Has the Mercury Serpent broken? Perhaps. Born an old man, it was already broken from the start.

However, a miracle still smiled upon him, giving him new life despite his decay, plunging him into a contradictory and wondrous state of being half-dead and half-alive.

"You rotten thing, you're not even completely rotten, you half-baked thing, you really should disappear from that position."

Just as the Lord of the Throne, Mercury Serpent, was confronting and conversing with Skadi, a voice filled with scorn and disgust appeared in the God Throne space.

Even before she arrived, I sensed a situation similar to Skadi's before, where boundless and terrifying fighting spirit, fueled by rage, was threatening to spiral out of control.

She wore light, crimson armor that was subtly similar to, but clashed with, Skadi's, and her fiery red hair moved behind her without any wind.

The newcomer was Matilda, her slender figure burning with terrifying fighting spirit and drawing upon the concept of boundless cosmic warfare, with wings seemingly about to emerge from behind her.

However, the other party frowned and slapped his forehead, temporarily isolating himself from the influence of the unknown anger and fighting spirit.

The will to fight should originate from her heart; how can she let the will to fight instead drive her?

At this moment, the atmosphere in the God Throne Space became even more viscous.

All three deities were in a state of forcibly suppressing their terrifying killing intent that could shatter the entire universe.

If either Skadi or Matilda dared to reveal even the slightest bit of their domineering principles here, it would be like dropping a bomb into an oil field, and the eventual outcome would be completely out of control.

Even the Omnipotent Seat, which governs the boundless universe, is only just the right limit to accommodate the mass of a single overlord god.

If the divine power of one or even two more domineering gods were to erupt, it would cause Mercury Serpent, Matilda, and Skadi to feel an overwhelming sense of crowding.

This extremely uncomfortable feeling of rejection will completely ignite the gods' killing intent, causing them to erase any superfluous existence besides themselves.

Chapter 71 Conflict, the Tai Chi of the Finite and the Infinite

When Matilda appeared in the God Throne Space, she was not as reserved as Skadi. Although she suppressed her anger and sense of rejection, she did not hide her desire to kick Mercury Serpent off the throne and her hostility.

Skadi, Matilda, and Mercury Serpent—they are all beings whose arrogance and ego reach godlike levels.

Everyone has their own goals and desires, and to achieve those desires, one either needs superfluous people in the way or needs to utilize them.

Mercury Serpent needs two important stage actresses, Skadi and Matilda, and both women have their own ideas and resent others using and manipulating their lives.

Moreover, in order to achieve his goals, everyone else is in his way.

"Oh dear, it's too early to start the opening play right now, but if you two want to do it, we're ready to accept it anytime, anywhere."

Mercury Serpent maintained the same languid sitting posture, propping her cheek up, and casually said that she didn't mind if the other party wanted to fight, while gently raising her other hand.

Suddenly, a cosmic bubble the size of a basketball slowly floated up from beneath the throne.

The cosmic background is stretched and magnified, showing starry seas, galaxy clusters, the solar system, Earth, Japan, Suwahara City...

At that moment, Skadi and Matilda's tactile avatars also appeared and vanished in a flash.

Then there are the events happening in the various parallel phase spaces of Suwahara City at this moment, and the figures of their subordinates and comrades in their respective camps.

The Mercury Serpent meant no harm to Matilda and Skadi; ​​it was simply presenting evidence that it was not the right time to act.

"Tsk!"

Matilda snorted and clicked her tongue, then her burning red eyes flashed with starlight as she surveyed the origin of all things—the Throne of Gods space.

Scenes from various multiverses were reflected in Matilda's vision, and countless top-tier beings in those universes felt a chill run down their spines.

It felt like being a lab rat, being looked down upon by humans conducting experiments – a feeling of absurdity and panic.

"Where exactly is Rhine hiding?"

Two seconds later, not finding what she wanted to see, or rather, what existed, Matilda calmly turned her gaze to the mercury serpent on the throne and asked in a questioning tone.

Even the most oblivious person can detect a slight inconsistency in their master's behavior, and the only thing they'll be in contact with is their insignificant sense of touch.

So where is he? This is the origin of the infinite universe and all things. Matilda thought she could find his trace here.

"Rhine...hehe, hahaha..."

Upon hearing the name, Mercury Serpent paused for a moment, then understood who Matilda was searching for. Her fingers unconsciously tapped the armrest of the throne beneath her.

He gave Matilda a strange look, then chuckled and said, "My friend isn't hiding; you just can't recognize him yet."

Although in countless cycles of reincarnation, Mercury Serpent had long known what kind of feelings Matilda, the disciple who gave Reiji a headache, harbored for his friend.

But every time he recalls Lei Zhe's expression, as if he didn't want to continue the conversation, he finds it quite amusing.

"Unable to perceive..."

Matilda sensed that the Mercury Serpent wasn't lying. After repeating the answer he had given, her eyes returned to their placid depths as she looked indifferently at the seated god and said:

"You mean that Rhine's true form's mass and status are too immense, and I am too insignificant to perceive them, right?"

Just as a domineering god is so vast that he needs to use touch to experience the world, is it the same principle when we think about the questions we are pursuing?

Skadi's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, while Mercury Serpent simply smiled and waved her hand, cheerfully saying:

"You'll have to find the answer yourself. Even I can't fully know my friend's true identity; I can only know that he and I are of the same kind."

Yes, as close friends who understand each other, they are indeed kindred spirits.

They strive for similar goals and for the women they love; this similarity allows Carl and Reiji to understand each other.

"I'll pursue it myself... but won't the two of you get in my way?"

Matilda glanced at the throne beneath the Mercury Serpent's rear end with a cold smile. Knowing that the difference in quality was too great, she wanted to become even stronger.

Although she had no particular attachment to the seat, once she sat down, her intuition told her that she could obtain information from Rhine, so she had to seize it.

However, the other peers would disagree.

Whether it's [the] Seat, Mercury Serpent, or Skadi, they won't let themselves do whatever they want.

"We're in the same boat. You have your desires, and I have my goals."

Skadi, with a blank expression, uttered very unfriendly and harsh words, then calmly surveyed the two people present and said:

“Dominators cannot coexist. I think that guy has been sitting in that position for too long and it’s time for him to step down and give way to a more capable person. But neither of us is legally suited to take that seat.”

At a certain point, Skadi and Mercury Serpent both tacitly agreed to acknowledge each other as the Lord of the Seat.

Simply put, compared to Mary, all the domineering gods throughout history and all the current gods are nothing short of evil gods.

Although Skadi doesn't have any selfless thoughts about considering the well-being of others, she has already decided to make her Mary's cornerstone, allowing her to sit securely on her throne.

Skadi's successor, Ren Fujii, was certain of the direction of her will.
