Chapter 481 Obtaining the Secret Flame

In the heart of the battlefield, Dui and Morgoth had been locked in a fierce battle for an unknown period of time.

The two sides were evenly matched, with each side having its own victories and defeats.

Dui made a careless move and was blasted apart by Morgoth, leaving only his soul crystal. However, he used his time magic to resurrect himself and return from the river of time.

Morgoth was erased from the timeline of his existence by Duy, thus removing him from this world, but he was resurrected by the Secret Fire.

Neither side held back, revealing all their cards and fighting with all their might to kill the other.

However, both sides possessed the trump card of immortality, and no matter how much they defeated each other, they could not completely kill the other.

The two fought a long and arduous battle, and the entire universe became shaky, as if it were about to return to chaos at any moment.

"Duir, you can't kill me, and I can't do anything to you. How about we stop and make peace?" Morgoth suddenly stopped his attack and said to Duir, "We are now only half a step away from becoming creators. If we join forces, I can share the Secret Fire with you and become creators together, ruling this world!"

"And the opponent you want to become a creator god-level being is not me, but 'He'!" Morgoth pointed to the universe. "He will not allow a second creator god to appear in this world! The reason He has not descended to intervene is simply because He is composing the next chapter of a great symphony in His eternal temple outside of Asia, and therefore has no time to attend to this place."

"And you and I are like noises in a grand symphony, not following the will of the symphony, but even altering its content. We are beings that must be eliminated!"

Now the world of Arda is destroyed; the first great movement is about to end; "He" may descend at any moment; only if you and I successfully ascend to the level of creator gods before He can react can we stand against the pool!

So, Duir, join forces with me! I currently have an excess of secret fire energy within me; I can share half of it with you, so that we can complement each other and become creator gods together!

Morgoth's tone was sincere yet hurried, and filled with fear of the creator god Ilúvatar.

"Duir, don't hesitate. I know you're different from those Veras who are blindly loyal to 'He,' and you're the same kind of person as me! You were actually persuaded by me a long time ago, weren't you?"

"When I seized the Secret Fire from the Gate of Mourning, you actually had the ability to stop me. It's just that you also coveted the Secret Fire, but you didn't want to offend the Valar and—'The Pool,' so you just watched me get it." Morgoth smiled knowingly, his eyes revealing a deep understanding.

Dui's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "This is just your imagination. Even if you want to sow discord between me and the Vera, they won't believe you."

Morgoth waved his hand, smiled and sighed, "I have no intention of threatening or sowing discord. I simply admire your wisdom and prudence. If I had been as mature as you back then, I might have achieved my goal long ago instead of waiting until now."

"Time is running out, Duir. If we continue fighting here, we will only end up losing. To show my sincerity, I can give you payment first."

Without waiting for Dui's reply, Morgoth plunged a claw into his chest, letting out a muffled groan.

He then pulled out the secret fire that had been devoured by it, and with a pale face and swaying body, he tore it apart into two flames.

He then stuffed one of the flowers back into his chest cavity and tossed the other directly to Dui.

"This is half of the secret fire, and it's also my sincerity!"

Dui was also stunned by Morgoth's action. He looked at the mysterious fire floating over and was somewhat incredulous.

You just gave it to him like that?

He took the secret fire, examined it carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong with it; on the contrary, it was filled with endless and boundless energy.

However, since the other party had delivered themselves to his doorstep, Dui was naturally happy to accept and sent them directly into the subspace.

Regardless of Morgoth's intentions or schemes, even if it were poison coated in sugar, he would still swallow it.

The Secret Flame, as the accompanying divine flame of the creator god Ilúvatar, possesses the ability to create all things; even half of its flame is extraordinary.

The moment the Secret Flame entered the subspace, it caused changes within the subspace.

The flame rapidly expanded, transforming into an endless sea of ​​fire that filled the entire subspace.

Under the influence of the flames, the subspace expanded rapidly and began to evolve, giving birth to matter and elements.

The prototype of a world rapidly evolved within the subspace!

Furthermore, with Dui's intentional acceleration of time, a second in the subspace becomes ten thousand years, and matter begins to form rocks, mineral veins, and soil—elements intertwine and evolve to give birth to the sky, ocean, land, fire, and so on.

Even the most primitive life forms began to emerge, giving the world a glimmer of life.

The warp has evolved into a primitive world, which, although not yet comparable to the world of Arda, has at least provided the foundation for life.

The evolution of the subspace caused Dui's power to surge, and he had already stepped into a higher level of existence.

But before Dui could even feel happy, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the subspace, or rather, the subworld.

"So this is your secret, Duir!" Morgoth's voice echoed through the heavens and earth. The secret fire burst into flames, transforming into Morgoth's likeness. He gazed at the world with envy and greed. "You actually possess a nascent world within you; such an opportunity is truly enviable!"

"Morgoth!" Dui looked at him coldly and warily.

It turns out that Morgoth had already merged his soul with the Secret Fire, and half of the Secret Fire he gave to Dui contained half of Morgoth's soul.

He used the Secret Fire as bait, intending to seize control of Dui when Dui fused with the Secret Fire.

However, Morgoth was shocked to discover that there was a prototype of a world within Dui's body, which filled him with both shock and ecstasy.

"Duir, you've given me a wonderful surprise! Once I have the prototype of this world, I can truly become a creator god and possess a world that is entirely my own!"

Upon hearing this, Dui snorted coldly and mobilized the world power of Kia Space, crushing Morgoth with it.

But the next second, Morgoth easily neutralized the power of the world.

"Hahaha, Duir, although you are the creator of this world, don't forget that this world was further improved with the help of the Secret Fire."

My power has become one with this world; I am its master, and you cannot banish or suppress me!

"Is that so?" Dui remained unfazed, instead revealing a mocking expression.

"You chose the path to heaven, but chose the path to hell," Du Yi said, a mocking smirk playing on his lips. "If you hadn't come in, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you for a while. But you chose to die, barging into my world, so you're never going to leave!"

As he spoke, he activated the system above the subspace, which resembled the sun.

The system burst forth with an even more dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire subspace.

"What is that?!" Morgoth's expression changed drastically as he sensed the aura emanating from the system.

Before the system activated, he hadn't even noticed its existence. Now, however, he sensed a level of attribute from this "golden sun" that was on par with the Secret Fire, or even more fundamentally powerful than the Secret Fire!

Sensing the ultimate threat, Morgoth unleashed his secret fire, transforming it into a raging inferno to burn the system.

If it were the complete Secret Flame, it might be able to contend with the system, but now it's only half a Secret Flame, so it poses no threat to the system at all.

The secret fire burns the system, but the system constantly devours the flames, turning the system into its own nourishment.

Morgoth sensed the rapid loss of the Secret Fire's energy and, filled with fear, dared not resist any longer. He immediately turned and fled out of the Warp.

However, the system that had absorbed some of the Secret Fire's energy was like a wolf that had smelled meat; it locked onto Morgoth and wouldn't let go, transforming into a golden light that directly entered Morgoth's body.

The next instant, Morgoth's expression froze, his resentful disintegration transforming him back into the form of the Secret Flame before being devoured by the system.

The Secret Fire is ultimately a primordial entity of the same level as the system. Even if it's only half, it won't be as easy for the system to completely devour it as it was with the previous devouring of Ugoliant and the nameless creature.

The secret fire instinctively resisted being devoured and fought against the system.

This gave Dui an opportunity.

As the saying goes, when fish and clams fight, the fisherman benefits. When the system was devouring the secret fire, its true nature was completely exposed. Dui seized the opportunity without hesitation, using all his soul power to refine the system.
