Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

The only person who can help me now is the goddess of wisdom standing before me. When it comes to wisdom and resourcefulness, Athena is truly outstanding.

After hearing Rhodes' words, Athena stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.

"This is indeed very strange, but with your current strength as a Primordial God, plus your mastery of spatial abilities, and the time artifact given to you by the Super God, it is indeed very unlikely that you could send them over without anyone noticing."

"Those stronger than you have no reason to do this, and those weaker than you seem to have no reason to offend you. Besides, the people they sent don't seem to have had any real impact on you," Athena said.

"So you mean this is just a very small probability of an accident?" Rhodes asked.

After listening to Athena's analysis, Rhodes felt that it made sense; there were beings stronger than himself.

This is practically nonexistent in the world of Azeroth, because his true combat power is even stronger than Sargeras'.

The power of the universe, combined with the system of Eastern fantasy, makes Rhodes' current strength absolutely terrifying.

Even in the Saint Seiya world, Lot was confident he could fight a primordial god who had mastered ultimate power. He wouldn't say he could defeat the god, but he should be able to protect himself without much trouble.

If the opponent is truly stronger than Rhodes, they could send a group of people over without anyone noticing. There's absolutely no need to send Khadgar and a bunch of Horde and Alliance people. These people are nothing more than ants in Rhodes' eyes, and he could easily defeat any of his subordinates.

You say you're testing them, but that won't work. On the contrary, it will expose your weaknesses. And it's even less likely to work on someone weaker than you.

"No! There is another possibility: the other party is much stronger than you and wants to test you for some purpose."

"However, the probability is extremely small, and as you yourself told me, your current strength is already equivalent to the top level in this world. Even those newly born beings are not stronger than you," Athena said.

Being cautious and maintaining a skeptical attitude is actually a good habit.

But the guests who unexpectedly traveled here this time probably weren't deliberately targeting Rhodes. These guys were too weak, and their strength was exposed too quickly.

"Forget it, let's take it slow! If someone is really watching me secretly, they'll be exposed sooner or later."

"I've already sent three of my men to Azeroth in another world to investigate. If they find anything, they'll report back to me immediately," Rhodes said.

"That's enough! You should hurry up and comprehend the ultimate power, and then absorb the power of the Absolute God."

"Once you become an absolute god, the Supreme God will teach you about time. After you gain the ability to travel back in time, you can observe what exactly happened over there," Athena said.

If you're still worried, you can use the power of time to rewind time and find out what happened.

"Well! That's the only thing we can do now. Well then, I'll deal with this ancient god first!" Rhodes nodded and said.

"What do you intend to do with this ancient god? I remember the initial plan was to have the divine tree devour her and then bear a fruit of darkness," Athena said.

"That's right, but how should I put it? My current strength has completely reached the level of a primordial god. Even if I had a Dark God Fruit, it would be of no use to me," Rhodes said.

"I remember you told me that above these creatures of the dark void, there is an even more powerful life form called the Void Lords, right?" Athena asked.

"Yes! That's right, it is indeed called a Void Lord. Some ethereal creatures in the Outer Realms had their home completely destroyed by a Void Lord, and the entire planet echoed with despair at the time," Rhodes said.

Before I traveled through time, the latest version had already started testing. The specific plot was related to Sarasta and the Void. Many players even speculated that the final boss of this version was not Sarasta, but an unknown Void Lord.

However, there's nothing that can be done about what happens next. Because of the time travel, Rhodes can't know the outcome. But the final result will be either the awakening of the Azerothian Protoss or the many warriors of the Alliance and the Horde defeating a Voidlord together. There's nothing else.

"If it can't feed your Ten-Tails, what if it's a Void Lord? Could your Ten-Tails eat it?" Athena asked.

"Uh! I'm not really sure about that. A Void Lord should be about the size of a planet. They are life forms on the same level as Titans," Rhodes said.

"I have an idea. You still need to feed that ancient goddess to the Ten-Tails. She is very important, and you still need the power of the dark gods," Athena said.

During this time, Athena was not idle; she was constantly worrying about Rhodes, especially after the ancient goddess was captured, which made Athena's eyes light up.

"Uh! Why? I feel that with my current power, whether or not I have dark divine power is irrelevant," Rhodes said.

Dark divine power is far inferior to the primal divine power within oneself, and this ancient goddess only possesses shadow power, not pure dark divine power.

"What are you thinking about, my dear? First, you need to understand one thing: the reward you received in the other world was the essence of an absolute god."

"But this absolute god, Apus, his attribute is darkness; he is the absolute god of darkness. So if you want to absorb his absolute divine power, then the power of darkness is indispensable." Athena rolled her eyes and said.

You bastard, you wouldn't be thinking of letting that ancient goddess go because she's pretty, would you?

Once you comprehend the ultimate power, you will begin to absorb the divine power of the Absolute God. To absorb the power of the Absolute God, it is best to have the same attributes.

You now possess primordial divine power. As long as you consume the fruit that contains powerful shadow energy, you will naturally comprehend dark divine power, which will definitely benefit you.

"Uh! What you say makes sense. It seems we'll have to sacrifice this ancient goddess." Rhodes said.

"There is no need to sacrifice her, or rather, only his body needs to be sacrificed, because what is needed is his body, not his soul, and for these ancient gods, the soul is something much more important."

Your Ten-Tails can grow on its own. After it devours the body of an ancient god, you should nurture a strong and powerful Ten-Tails juvenile.

Then we'll try to capture a Void Lord. After you eat the Dark Fruit that this Void Lord produces, you can try to absorb the power of the Dark Absolute God.

"I've already thought this through. You just need to do as I say," Athena said.

"Great idea! You're so smart, honey. Here's a kiss." Rhodes' eyes lit up, and he immediately hugged Athena and kissed her on the cheek.

"Tch! Don't give me that crap. You should just become an absolute god sooner rather than later. Your ultimate goal is definitely not just to become an absolute god. Becoming a god is your goal. With the ability to travel to different worlds, you better set your sights higher," Athena said.

After following Rhodes, even she and Pallas were able to advance to higher levels, because Rhodes possessed a lot of primal divine power. As long as they continued to absorb this primal divine power, she and Pallas would one day also become...

Once Rhodes becomes an absolute god in the future, he and Pallas can also move towards that goal. This is the principle behind the Eastern proverb, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

So you bastard, show some ambition! Your goal should be to become a god, or even surpass that level.

"Hahaha! I understand. I've always aimed to become a god, or even surpass that level," Rhodes said.

"That's right! Ever since that ancient god was captured, I made a special trip to see her, and even made sure her body was more nutritious so she could grow even further."

"I secretly fed her some primordial divine power, and now her physical condition is not much worse than that of an ordinary god. I've raised her to be plump and healthy," Athena said.

Athena went to great lengths to help Rhodes acquire the power of the Dark God! In fact, she and Pallas had been taking turns monitoring the ancient goddess to prevent her from escaping.

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble, my dear wife. Since that's the case, bring her over. It's time to replant a sacred tree," Rhodes said.

"That's more like it. I'll call my Gold Saints over right away," Athena nodded and said.

Soon, several Gold Saints dragged a certain ancient goddess lady out of the dungeon and brought her before Rhodes and Athena.

Accompanying the Gold Saints was another goddess, Pallas. Because she had been fed primordial divine power by the ancient goddess, Pallas and Athena took turns watching over her to prevent her from escaping.

Now it's time to deal with this ancient goddess. At this moment, Sarasta has completely transformed into a high elf of the void, with a curvaceous figure and powerful shadow energy.

"Rhodes! And Sister, I've brought this guy over, so can we start our operation now?" Pallas asked.

"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Pallas," Athena nodded and said.

Paras smiled slightly and walked to Rhodes' side, standing on either side of Athena.

"Every step I've taken has been part of your plan, Lord Rhodes! You probably want to eat me, don't you?" Sarasta said, looking at Rhodes.

Ever since being captured by Rhodes and then secretly released, Sarasta had been wondering about Rhodes's purpose. When Rhodes intentionally or unintentionally guided her to devour other Old Gods, Sarasta guessed his intention: he also wanted the Shadow Power within her.

But Sarasta also wanted to do that, because it would allow him to restore his original power, summon the Void Lord, and even become the Void Lord himself.

But the one in front of him now is even stronger than a regular Titan. Even if he becomes a Void Lord or summons one, he doesn't seem to have any chance of winning.

"You're quite clever! But it wasn't Rhodes who ate you, it was someone else who ate you, but only your body; your soul will be preserved." Athena approached Sarasta and said with a slight smile.

"Hehe! My goddess, these past few days you've been feeding me with something that rivals the power of the Titans, enhancing my physical abilities. You must have been preparing for this moment!" Sarasta asked.

"That's right! So now I'm giving you a choice: I will preserve your soul, and even give you a new body, a more powerful one," Athena said.

"So, what do I have to give in return?" Sarasta turned and asked.

"It's very simple. Dedicate your loyalty to Rhodes, and in the future, Rhodes will let you rule the void and become the dark god under his command," Athena said.

"??? Hahaha! Please, did I hear that right? You, you said you wanted me to take control of the Void, do you know how powerful the Void is?"

You must understand that the theme of the entire universe is darkness. In this universe, whether it is death or life, holy light, fel energy, or arcane magic, these are all secondary!

Darkness is the dominant theme, and the entire universe is pitch black.

"Moreover, the title of God of Darkness belongs only to the Void Lords. The so-called Titans are nothing before him. Once a Lord can enter the physical universe, you are finished." Sarasta let out a cold laugh and said.

"The Void Lords to whom you Old Gods serve are indeed stronger than the Titans, as the Void Lord above them is."

"But it is also bound by the laws of the universe and cannot enter the physical universe at all, which proves that it itself has not exceeded the limitation of the universe." Rhodes said with a slight smile.

"No, but have you exceeded the limits of the universe? If you had, the Void Lord would have died at your hands long ago," Sarasta said, rolling his eyes.

Even the great Void Lords and leaders of all Void creatures, the Void Grand Lords, cannot violate this rule and must abide by the laws of the universe.

"Hehe! Rhodes' future achievements are far beyond your imagination. That Void Lord will definitely not be a match for Rhodes," Athena said.

Once one comprehends the ultimate power and becomes an absolute god, no matter how strong that Void Lord is, he will not be a match for Rhodes, because the latter has not broken through the concept of the multiverse, or even created the multiverse.

"Heh! If you're really that powerful, then surrendering to you is a no-brainer," Sarasta said.

"Hehe! Rhodes, next time you travel to another world, take her soul with you and let her see your power. I think she will make the right choice." Athena whispered in Rhodes' ear.

Once Rhodes becomes the God of Darkness, this woman with dark attributes will not escape his grasp, and there is absolutely no need to worry about her betraying him.

Rhodes smiled and nodded at Athena, then activated his special ability to extract Sarasta's entire soul from her body and imprison it in a special container.

Only the body of the ancient dark god, now devoid of its soul, remained in place.

"There's no time to lose, Rhodes, plant it now! Although I've tried my best to cultivate it, it's only reached the initial level of a divine body. It's still quite a distance from being a true god, but it should be enough," Athena said.

"Okay! No problem, leave this to me!" Rhodes nodded, stepped forward and picked up Sarasta's body, then activated his spatial abilities to locate the blue dwarf star in a binary star system.

Then he found a huge, steel-bodied planet, released a ten-tailed fox he had nurtured beforehand, and then threw Sarasta's body to the other party.

The Ten-Tails that Rhodes has now nurtured is even larger than the original adult Ten-Tails in the Naruto world, reaching a height of several thousand meters.

After consuming Sarasta's body, the Ten-Tails' body erupted with a terrifying dark light.

Then it took root directly on the planet. Seeing this, Rhodes nodded, activated the time barrier to accelerate the planet's time, and then used his other hand to draw on the power of the star to provide the divine tree with a continuous supply of nutrients.

Sargeras had previously demonstrated to Rhodes how to use divine power to manipulate stellar forces. Now that Rhodes has become a primordial god, he too can freely manipulate stellar power.

However, as one's level increases, the effects of the Divine Tree Fruit will become increasingly weaker, and it may even only provide one attribute at a time.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. The planet on the ground was accelerated by a full ten thousand years before it stopped growing.

This divine tree is different from the other divine trees in appearance. It is dark purple all over, and a huge dark purple fruit has grown on the flower bud at the top.

Meanwhile, the Ten-Tails' true form below had transformed into a gigantic creature tens of thousands of meters tall, even occupying the size of a continent.

With a volume one-third the size of a planet, and with a sufficient energy supply, this ten-tailed creature is unprecedentedly large, and the dark power contained within its body is also terrifying.

Unlike the normal adult Ten-Tails, this one, fed by Rhodes and the Ancient Goddess, underwent a very bizarre change in appearance, its body covered in numerous black tentacles. (End of Chapter)
