Master Changsheng

Chapters 486 & 487: A Lucky Balance [Countdown to the End: 412]

The spatial tremors stretched and created cracks that, from their initial small size, instantly transformed into terrifying black holes.

The unknown it carries within devours everything around it.

This sudden change stunned all the gods watching.

They never expected that someone could actually outwit the God of Law.

They watched helplessly as the figure of the [God of Law] was instantly swallowed up by the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Resolution Center].

They didn't give him a single chance to react.

Then, immense power emanated from the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center].

Outside of Zhen's [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Center for Divine Court Resolutions], spatial rifts that devour everything were constantly appearing.

This forced them to stop, as they had intended to go forward and investigate.

We could only wait in place, gazing into the distance.

The shocks came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Resolution Center] returned to calm.

The spatial rifts that had torn everything apart also returned to calm at this moment.

Without other stimuli, they may disappear in a few hundred years.

When a deity discovered that the Ninth Level of the Divine Court: the Divine Court Decision Center had returned to calm, he subconsciously touched his eyes and found no moisture. Then he opened his palms and confirmed that there was no blood on them.

This made them breathe a sigh of relief: "No tears of blood flowed, which means that Lord [Art of Magic] has won!"

Exclamations of surprise at the [God of Magic]'s victory echoed throughout the land.

However, they waited for a long time, but the [God of Laws] did not appear.

One day, two days, one month

At this point, the onlookers could no longer wait.

The Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center was right before their eyes, and it did not disappear as usual.

After some discussion, they selected ten of the most powerful First-Class Gods to go to the Ninth Level of the Divine Court: the Divine Court Decision Center to investigate the specific situation.

These ten people are ranked between [Gods Ranking: 4] and [Gods Ranking: 13] based on their strength.

Aside from the three previous Supreme Gods, they were the strongest.

Ankai has now taken the place of the God of Light, one of the three supreme gods.

After his last strength improvement, especially when his four spells were upgraded and he completed a major rank leap, An Kai deliberately showed off his strength to the outside world.

It was captured by the [Divine Ranking] and registered as [Divine Ranking: 3], replacing the position of [God of Light].

This earth-shattering change should have triggered a chain reaction, but unfortunately An Kai was not in the God Realm, and he quickly concealed himself, no longer being captured by the [Gods' Ranking], so the matter was left unresolved.

This means that the gods watching outside are unaware that An Kai is the third-ranked being on the [Gods Ranking].

There were ten [first-class deities] in total, and they still thought that even if they encountered danger, they could still struggle.

I don't know.

An Kai observed all their actions and even hoped that they would arrive soon.

Inside the Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision-Making Center, the atmosphere was extremely delicate.

An Kai's face still showed a look of relief, even though a month had passed. Every time he thought of the battle a month ago, he couldn't help but reveal it.

At that time, he chose to fight to the death with the [God of Law], but initially the [God of Law] did not care about Ankai's desperate attempt.

Would a tiger care about the life-or-death struggle of an ant?

It wasn't until Ankai revealed the [Time Cage] that the [God of Magic] realized that this "ant" actually possessed a "forbidden spell"!

In an instant, he withdrew some of the power of the spell rules to deal with the impending [Time Cage].

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ankai's methods are simply insufficient to break through the defensive measures created by the [God of Magic] using the power of magical rules.

But luck smiled on Ankai once again.

Who told him and Chris to frequently discuss recharging their luck stats?

The two's immense energy tore apart the internal space of the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Resolution Center]. Spatial rifts appeared and then connected to form a black hole filled with the unknown and terrifying.

The black hole devoured all the energy around it.

The other side of a black hole is not an unfamiliar environment.

This is the space that Ankai once wanted to explore, but ultimately gave up on.

—The True Spirit Space!

It's that space where there isn't a single trace of energy.

The graveyard of all [Space-type Mages].

The True Spirit Space devoured a portion of the [God of Laws]'s rule power, as well as Ankai's four rule powers.

But

The time-based magical elements were not devoured by the True Spirit Space.

Or rather, after being swallowed by the True Spirit Space, it was immediately spat out out of disgust.

It felt like finding excrement in a delicious meal, and you couldn't wait to vomit it up.

This was exactly what An Kai wanted.

The greatly weakened [God of Magic] was instantly devoured by Ankai using [Time Cage].

[The God of Law] wanted to resist, but his power of rules was a delicious feast for the True Spirit Space. Without An Kai having to deal with it, he was directly devoured.

If it weren't for Ankai's involvement, the devouring of the True Spirit Space would not have affected the [God of Law] at all.

Because the [God of Magic] can instantly appear tens of thousands of miles away the moment the opponent's rift appears.

Unfortunately, no if.

He became so engrossed in the battle that he forgot the immense energy he was expending would tear open the passage to the True Spirit Space.

Like now, we've been hit by a huge hole.

The True Spirit Space, which had absorbed the power of the [God of Laws]'s rules, did not choose to stop.

The black hole expanded in an instant, engulfing the entire [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Resolution Center].

Including Ankai.

Because the moment Ankai enveloped the God of Magic with the Time Cage, he was already doing his best to maintain the confinement of the God of Magic, and even so, it was extremely difficult for him.

The intervention of the True Spirit Space immediately relieved An Kai's pressure.

It was at this moment that Ankai, the [God of Law], the True Spirit Space, and the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center] strangely formed a new state.

An Kai, relying on less than 30% of the remaining power of the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center], resisted the True Spirit Space from truly pulling him into it.

At the same time, we must do everything we can to maintain the [Time Cage] and imprison the [God of Magic].

Regarding other effects on the True Spirit Space, we can only let them take their course. For example, there is not a single trace of energy inside the True Spirit Space, so all consumption is irreversible.

Just like An Kai now, even though he has a vast energy foundation and even though An Kai's [Domain] can generate energy on its own to help him.

However, in order to deal with the [God of Law] and maintain the [Time Cage], he consumed too much energy. According to An Kai's preliminary estimate, he might only be able to maintain this state for a few hundred years before he was completely pulled into the True Spirit Space.

[Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center] Its foundation is being consumed frantically in order to resist the True Spirit. If it cannot be replenished, it will completely collapse in less than a hundred years. At that time, Ankai's pressure will increase dramatically.

The God of Law is also having a tough time.

On one hand, one needs to be distracted to resist the "Time Cage" and find a way to break free of it, and on the other hand, one needs to be distracted to resist the pull of the True Spirit Space.

However, the [God of Law] is indeed the [God of Law], and he was much more composed than Ankai.

Even now, the [God of Laws]'s expression has not changed in any other way.

After observing his surroundings, he had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

"Heh, lucky fellow. I'll be able to leave in about a hundred years. Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve then."

"Furthermore, trapping me has already exhausted you. If another [Supreme God] were to intervene now, would you still have the strength to stop them?"

[The God of Law] looked around at the empty space without any haste or impatience. He was certain that An Kai would hear his words.

In a short period of time, the [God of Magic] has discovered a fatal flaw.

An Kai had exhausted all his efforts to deal with him, but luckily he managed to succeed temporarily by using the True Spirit Space.

At this moment, the other [Supreme God], namely the [Dark God], could easily break the current predicament with a simple intervention.

It can also rescue the [God of Law] ahead of time.

The Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center has been exposed. The God of Law guesses that the God of Darkness will arrive soon.

He will not need to wait a hundred years; he will be free in an instant.

And you know what? [The God of Law]'s two sentences hit An Kai right where it hurts.

He had been unwilling to think about it.

The reason is that what the [God of Law] said is precisely Ankai's biggest weakness.

An Kai still had the strength to deal with a "first-class deity," or rather, for An Kai, dealing with a "first-class deity" was nothing, and he didn't need to expend too much energy on it.

But the Supreme God is different.

If he were at full strength, Ankai was confident he could put up a fight with the Dark God, but not now.

The Dark God, upon descending, will not even need to take action; simply by spreading his oppressive aura, he can break the current stalemate faced by the God of Magic.

"Ha! Scared?!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Let's see when you're done!"

[The God of Law] first showed a significant change in emotion.

It was a way of mocking Ankai from the perspective of a victor.

Faced with this mockery, all An Kai could do was remain silent.

Just as he had initially thought, from the moment he took action, Ankai was gambling.

He firmly believes that he has always been lucky.

After all, the Dark God has not yet appeared, so there is no need to worry about his arrival.

In contrast, the sight of ten First-Class Gods outside the Ninth Level of the Divine Court: the Divine Court Decision Center, preparing to enter, made An Kai breathe a sigh of relief.

Dealing with those ten people and then luring more gods in would be a good way to replenish the foundation of the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center]. If we could find a way to advance the level of his spells, that would be even better.

Now, every bit of growth in strength makes Ankai a beacon of hope for turning adversity around.

As for the Dark God, who was highly regarded by the God of Law and feared by Ankai, he was currently hiding in the Chaos Space, cutting off all contact with the outside world, ignoring everything else, and focusing all his attention on researching his clone technique.

Or rather, the "cloning rule".

The idea that the "God of Law" would go to save him, as he had in mind, was simply wishful thinking on the part of the "God of Law".

He had completely severed ties with his trusted divine subordinates and was unaware of the tribulations the [God of Law] was currently enduring.

The ten First-Class Deities, filled with doubt and caution, approached the Ninth Level of the Divine Court: the Divine Court Decision-Making Center step by step.

With their strength, they were unaware that the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center] was located precisely at the gap in the connection with the True Spirit Space.

Once they enter the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Resolution Center], it's as if they've stepped one foot into the True Spirit Space.

Unfortunately, the black hole in the True Spirit Space that currently shrouds the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Center for Divine Court Decisions] was created by Ankai and the [God of Law] fighting together.

They are beings far beyond the comprehension of these "first-class deities".

Even as they were advancing in rank, the moment they entered the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center], they were instantly enveloped by the True Spirit Space.

Their entry was detected by the [God of Law].

I thought it was the arrival of the Dark God.

However, they did not perceive any characteristics of the "Supreme God".

This made the [God of Magic] frown, muttering to himself, "What's this guy up to? Is he playing his cautious game again? Sending his subordinate gods to test the waters first?"

The God of Law gently shook his head. This was the first time he had ever seen the Supreme God so afraid of death.

Because the [Time Cage] enveloped the [God of Law], the ten [First-Class Gods] did not find the [God of Law] when they entered the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center].

Just as they were about to explore, they suddenly saw a fireball that covered the sky descend with a roar.

Before the ten powerful First-Class Gods could react, they were instantly engulfed by the fireball.

The gap between a Supreme God and an ordinary deity is greater than the gap between being promoted from a minor deity to a First-Class Deity.

If one had to describe it, even if the gods who did not undergo the "conferment of godhood" were promoted to the level of "first-class gods", even if they became the 4th on the "God Ranking", even if they were only one step away from becoming the "supreme god".

At most, given their current strength, they have only a slight chance to glimpse the figure of the Supreme God on the throne high in the sky.

Without this opportunity, they wouldn't even have a chance to spy on him.

Therefore, the ten powerful "first-class gods" were powerless against Ankai.

The sudden death of ten First-Class Gods was not surprising to the God of Law; it would have been surprising if they hadn't died.

"How much longer is this 'Dark God' going to test us?"

The God of Laws had no idea that this was not a test from the God of Darkness at all. The God of Darkness he spoke of was still engrossed in his research on the rules of his clones.

Confining oneself to one's own territory and focusing on avoiding mistakes is considered a success.

After dealing with ten First-Class Gods, An Kai summoned one of their True Spirits and dispatched him to the outside of the Ninth Level of the Divine Court: the Divine Court Decision Center, to lure more gods into entering.

"The [God of Law] commands us to immediately enter the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision-Making Center] to lend him a hand!"

A figure of a First-Class Deity flashed past the door of the Ninth Level of the Divine Court: the Divine Court Decision Center.

Then, the many gods and spirits in the crowd rushed towards the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court Decision Center].

They never imagined that the "God of Law" would deceive them, that a "first-class deity" would deceive them.

Deep within the True Spirit Space.

One person slowly opened their eyes, gazing at the turmoil where An Kai and the others were, and said in a daze, "Strange, why do I sense a familiar aura?"
