Those time travelers that year

He reached out and grabbed the golden cudgel, sweeping it horizontally. An invisible force transformed into an invisible barrier, forcefully splitting the cold wave in two. Faced with this magnificent sight, the monkey finally finished reciting the last few lines of "Qinyuanchun: Snow".

"The land is so beautiful, it has attracted countless heroes to bow down in admiration."

"It is a pity that Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were slightly inferior in literary talent; Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song were somewhat lacking in poetic flair."

"Genghis Khan, the proud son of heaven, only knew how to bend his bow and shoot eagles."

"All that is past; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present."

Then--

"Hey! What kind of monster dares to commit evil deeds here, occupy this mountain as king, and threaten the smooth passage of the road? State your name at once!"

(Zeusker: ...MMP)

The furious roar of the Frost God Abomination echoed, and in the next moment, several meteor bursts were summoned by the abomination and blasted down towards the monkey. Although it seemed bizarre that an Frost God Abomination who hated fire could use meteor bursts, that's just how bizarre and ridiculous this world is.

A meteor shower that hurtles down is a spell that can decide the outcome of a battle in the material world, but it's not a problem for the monkey at all. He withstood the meteor shower and became completely immune to its damage.

However, Meteor Explosion was just a preliminary attack. Some of the ice on Zeusker's body began to shatter, and then a dozen or so old white dragons, controlled by the abomination, flew out of the abomination's body and roared as they pounced on the monkey.

"What the hell is that?" Facing the swooping white dragon ready to tear him apart, the monkey calmly watched. Just as the dragon was about to bite, he twisted his body to avoid it. Although these white dragons couldn't possibly bite the monkey, he still managed to dodge the attack, and in the process, whipped the brains out of one of the dragons with his staff. "Dragons?! These winged, mutated lizard-like beasts are considered dragons? The Dragon King of the East Sea will be crying..." the monkey roared, laughing loudly. With a few flashes, his golden cudgel swept out, obliterating all the attacking white dragons into dust.

Zeuxkell was clearly enraged that his underlings had been so easily dealt with by the monkey. He unleashed a barrage of supernatural abilities and spell-like techniques, while a howling blizzard, under the control of the abomination, enveloped the monkey. Zeuxkell, like a real iceberg, also swung his claws, relentlessly attacking the monkey.

However, the monkey's agility is too high, and its various resistances are also ridiculously high. If we were to use real-world data, even if this monkey is just a clone with a portion of its power, its six dimensions are still ridiculously high.

The monkey's stats are so high they could drive any tabletop role-playing player to despair. Moreover, for some reason, the monkey can arbitrarily alter its stats and is immune to all mental and spiritual attacks (it doesn't need to roll dice, it's just immune). Add to that its indestructible body and deadly resistances... well, if you assemble a whole bunch of gods for a tabletop role-playing game, it'd probably be a formidable opponent.

However, Zeusker and the Frost God Abominations always act alone. They are the kind of targets that others in the role-playing game come to challenge, not the dice-rolling gamblers in those role-playing games. In fact, when faced with the monkey with the crimson glow, it is the dice-rolling gamblers who are running away (the monkey shouts: "Gathering people to gamble, if the circumstances are serious, will be detained for not less than ten days but not more than fifteen days, and fined not less than five hundred yuan but not more than three thousand yuan. If it constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility will be pursued."

Therefore, Zeusker's fate was sealed.

After a fierce and chaotic battle, the monkey's counterattack finally began. Previously, it had only recently arrived in this world and needed time to adjust to the different rules; now that it had, Zeusker was in trouble.

The burst of golden-red flames tore through the perpetually frozen ice storm, shattering the supernatural power originating from Zeuxkell. Then, the golden-red flames transformed into a blood-red radiance, accompanied by the cry of "There has never been a savior, nor is there any need for gods or emperors!" In the dazzling crimson light, all the cataclysmic power displayed by Zeuxkell was completely submerged.

First, the supernatural, frigid storm dissipated completely. Then, Zeusker's various magical powers and other supernatural abilities were stripped away and shattered. Finally, all the resistances of the abominations were stripped away and crushed. The towering body, like a ten-thousand-year-old glacier, began to melt visibly in the crimson light.

The Frost Demon cried out in terror. While Zeuxkeer wasn't exceptionally intelligent, its IQ was at least at the level of a normal human. Although it was usually consumed by hatred and a thirst for killing, this didn't mean Zeuxkeer was a fool—its core divine spark, illuminated by the crimson light, had begun to dim little by little.

This is going to kill a person, or rather, a god!

Washed by the crimson light, Zeuxker, having lost almost all his power, screamed in terror. The hatred for all things contained within the divine spark was shattered, allowing reason to return slightly to the mind of the icy monstrous god. However, just as Zeuxker was about to rely on his biological instincts to beg for mercy, a colossal figure far exceeding his own rose slowly from the crimson light.

That was a monkey that was over 500 feet tall.

Although it is far from reaching the level of 90,000 zhang that the original body can reach, compared to this height, Zeusker, who was originally like an iceberg, is completely insignificant.

He transformed into a monkey over 500 feet tall, grabbed a furry monkey paw... uh, a monkey fist, and roared as he punched Zeusker down.

"Hey, you monster, take this—the ultimate power of the Wuchan class's glorious iron fist!"

A massive fist, accompanied by dazzling crimson light, crashed down, engulfing Zeusker's figure.

563. Bane, the God of Tyranny

No matter what strange things happen or what terrifying monsters appear in the Astral Plane, none of that matters. Although it's known as the dimensional highway, the Astral Plane is quite turbulent and unpleasant, especially since it's the resting place of fallen gods. Therefore, no god would want to come to this 'graveyard'-like world.

Therefore, no being with divine power discovered what was happening in the Astral Plane. Moreover, the Astral Plane is said to be infinitely vast; even its inhabitants are unaware of the unknown terrors hidden within, let alone the gods. If you don't want a horde of divine abominations to track you down and block the gates of your divine realm, then you'd better stay as far away from the Astral Plane as possible.

Therefore, this small conflict that erupted in the astral plane went unnoticed by anyone. The island, originally formed from the corpse of an ancient, fallen god, which had been floating in this area, had long since been shattered into countless fragments. As for that unfortunate Ice Demon on it? Sorry, Zeusker was already reduced to dust by the monkey's—"Ultimate Proletarian Radiant Fist"—.

Anyway, this is the Astral Plane, a chaotic place known as the graveyard of the gods. It's not a big deal if one abomination dies, is it?

If there is any being that has sensed even the slightest thing about this, it is none other than the master of the Dark Fortress, who is located in the wasteland of destruction and despair.

Throughout the multiverse, the infamous god of evil resides in this building constructed of adamantite, obsidian, ebony, and black jade. He sits upon a skull throne, ruling his realm as an iron-fisted tyrant—the powerful and tyrannical god Bane.

At that moment, the god of tyranny raised his head on the throne.

Just now, the Sea of ​​Force rippled once again, a slight ripple.

Unlike the previous instances where the Force boiled over due to chaos, this time the Sea of ​​Force only rippled once, almost imperceptibly. If it weren't for this ripple that alerted the God of Tyranny, even immense divine power would have been unable to detect it.

But at that moment, Bane sensed the ripple. Through the higher-dimensional vision possessed only by gods, even though the God of Tyranny was merely sitting on his throne, he still managed to barely capture a fragment through the perception of the Sea of ​​Force.

What was reflected in Bane's eyes was an endless crimson radiance, a radiance that was clearly just a fragment of the past. It was a dazzling crimson radiance, yet it unexpectedly transformed from illusion into reality, flowing downstream along the connection of the Sea of ​​Force, directly surging towards Bane, who had glimpsed this fragment.

It was merely a fragment of the past, yet at this moment, that fragment of time transformed from illusion into reality. A dazzling crimson light shone within the Force, transforming into a crimson sun that appeared before Bane…

...Or rather, it wasn't the sun, but a fist, an iron fist that slammed down with a radiance hotter than the sun.

This punch wasn't powerful, as it was merely an attack from a past fragment, now realized as reality. However, within that crimson glow, Bane sensed a profound threat, a threat that could be fatal.

Black divine power surged, enveloping the entire massive, pitch-black fortress in its power. Concepts such as strife, hatred, tyranny, and fear evolved within this black divine power, embodying absolute power of life and death, and absolute tyranny that rules over everything. This was absolute despotism; everyone except himself had to submit to his feet, and everyone had to live humbly in fear, forever unable to resist.

However, upon contact with this black divine power, the crimson radiance suddenly surged, as if encountering an absolutely unforgivable mortal enemy, and began to frantically rush towards the tyrannical god located at the center of the black divine power.

The phantom of that fist slammed into Bane.

"Get out!" the God of Tyranny roared. Within the crimson radiance, Bane felt a chilling power and concept—a power directly targeting him, a true nemesis. Enraged, the God of Tyranny swung his divine weapon—Bane's Black Hand. This meteor hammer, infused with black divine power, swung with destructive force towards the descending phantom fist.

Extraordinary Divine Power - Devastating Strike.

After a blinding flash of light, everything vanished, leaving only the tyrannical god standing on the table, wielding a meteor hammer, raging and mad. Throughout the entire dark fortress, all the soldiers from various races and planes who obeyed Bane trembled in fear of Bane's wrath and power.

The rage and explosive power of a powerful god are hard to conceal. So, at this moment, all the gods who exist in this wasteland of destruction and despair, who have established their divine kingdoms on this plane, have noticed the rage and power that Bane has unleashed.

Bensaba, the goddess of misfortune from the Blood Rock; Hall, the goddess of vengeance from the Court of Judgment; Lauvita, the goddess of torment from the Palace of Pain; and Tarona, the goddess of deadly poison from the Temple of Poisonous Tears.

One god of medium power and three gods of low power all turned their gazes to the dark fortress at this moment. As the strongest god in the Wasteland of Destruction and Despair, the infamous tyrant god Bane, whose every move affected the vital interests of the other four gods who also established their divine kingdoms there. Everyone worried that one day, this dictator and tyrant might instigate a divine war to unify the entire Wasteland of Destruction and Despair. Frankly speaking, apart from the goddess of misfortune, Bensaba, a god of medium power who could put up a fight against Bane, the other three were utterly useless in his presence.

Fortunately, Bane seemed to make no move and quickly reined in his rampaging divine power, which relieved the other four gods slightly. They didn't know what had happened, but it was clear that everyone could feel Bane's anger.

Of course, Bensaba, the goddess of misfortune, did sense a glimpse of fate through her divine authority; it seemed that someone or some force was targeting Bane. However, Bensaba could only know this much; she could see no further.

In the end, after thinking for a while, the Goddess of Misfortune did nothing. It was extremely difficult and dangerous to manipulate the fate of a powerful deity. Even if Bensaba could change the slightest bit of Bane's fate and guide it toward misfortune with her medium-level divine power, she would still be severely injured or even fall to a weak divine power.

Moreover, she could not withstand the retribution of such a powerful god.

But as long as she knew Bane was going to be in trouble, the goddess of misfortune was satisfied and stopped watching the matter.

564. Bane's Fury

However, unlike some of the deities who held positions of authority over fate, such as Bensaba, the goddess of misfortune who was split off from the goddess of fate after her death, the other deities did not have the same unique advantage as her, who could remotely perceive certain things through the senses of their divine authority.

The other few weaklings, possessing mere inferior divine power, are still reeling from the sudden outburst of power from the tyrannical god Bane. Although this outburst of rage and power is confined to the wasteland of destruction and despair, it can be detected by gods from other planes if they are observant. Whether they intend to interfere or are simply watching from the sidelines, it's not a good thing for these three weaklings.

The immense power of Bane was something the three weaker gods couldn't simply ignore. The goddess of misfortune, Bensaba, could disregard Bane because she was once part of the fallen, powerful goddess of fate. Even though she had split off and become an independent entity like her sister, she still inherited a portion of the divine authority of fate. The true limit of this authority went far beyond mere divine power. If it weren't for the Dawn Calamity, perhaps one day in the future, the former goddess of fate might have become a supreme god of immense power.

But reality doesn't offer "what ifs".

The three goddesses—Hall, the god of vengeance; Lauvita, the goddess of torture; and Talona, ​​the goddess of poison—are utterly useless and rarely seen. As weak deities, they could easily be taken down by the two dragon gods of good and evil. Normally, these three live under Bane's oppression; while not exactly surviving, they certainly don't have a good life.

The last two are alright, but Lauvita and Talona, ​​as goddesses of the evil faction, or rather, as goddesses, are both shameless bitches. With their innate advantages, they can simply grovel before Bane; at worst, they'll just be the mistress of a powerful deity. To be honest, it's not like they haven't slept with him—after all, they are goddesses!

Moreover, the divine positions of the goddess of torment and the goddess of poison are arguably the lowest level, with no hope of ever reaching intermediate divine power. Of course, from Ciel's perspective, these two bitches could still advance, though not to the level of a fully-fledged powerful god, but at least to intermediate divine power.

The former can escalate abuse into punishment or penalization, and by moving to a neutral camp, it would easily become a mid-level deity, perhaps even approaching the level of a powerful deity. Unfortunately, this is a useless individual lacking ambition. The latter can extend poison and disease into the realm of viruses, and could even one day develop into meme viruses, mind viruses, etc., officially becoming a member of the Void Gods, far surpassing the power of a powerful deity…

Okay! The latter is also a complete failure, and only with the encouragement and tutoring of a PhD can he possibly transform into a normal student.

In conclusion, these goddesses are all utterly useless, and these two useless ones don't have any attractive fields of expertise. Furthermore, these gods are all intellectually challenged and completely incapable of seeing the vast potential of abuse, poison, and disease.

So those two bitches are safe, and Bane isn't stupid enough to waste his energy killing those two good-for-nothings.

However, Hall, the god of vengeance with weak divine power, is the second male god in the entire wasteland of destruction and despair—he is even worse than a piece of trash.

Despite holding the divine authority of revenge, retribution, and just punishment, he's merely a low-level deity—it's unbelievable. Especially in the realm of revenge, which even the powerful goddess of the night, Shar, coveted and plotted against; you can imagine how powerful it is. Yet this guy, who's even worse than trash, is indeed only a low-level deity, shocking countless gods.

If Bane were to truly wield his sword, his first target would undoubtedly be Hall, and no one would come to his aid; they would likely kick him while he's down. Therefore, the only one truly troubled is Hall, the god of vengeance. The other three goddesses are simply a matter of sleeping with them, but what can Hall, the god of vengeance, do? Engage in homosexual relationships?! Bane isn't some six-fingered pervert.

However, after a while, seeing that the powerful god Bane hadn't done anything else, the vengeful god Hall could only breathe a sigh of relief for the time being and secretly increase his attention.

Regardless of the commotion outside, Bane paid no heed to the gazes of the gods he had attracted. Instead, he returned to his skull throne and sealed his palace with divine power, remaining alone within.

This was not only because Bane was truly indifferent to the outside conflicts, but also to cover up his own problems. He was not injured; the punch that materialized from the void during his time travel was insufficient to harm a powerful god.

But as the destructive power was unleashed to neutralize the attack, the Force surged. Among the divine offices Bane held, those of tyranny trembled. This wasn't because his power had been divided or shaken, but rather a different manifestation. The Force of tyranny, unique to Bane, was rising, and soon Bane's divine power increased under its influence.

Someone or some power has appeared in this world, and there is a tyrannical divine authority against him, an enemy. In order to deal with such a life-or-death enemy, the Tyrannical Force has begun to rise in the Ocean of Forces after the Chaotic Force, and has begun to send power to Bane, who has monopolized the largest share.

At the same moment, Bane also learned something unspeakable: his divine power would continue to rise for some time to come, heading towards a realm that surpassed even the greatest divine power.

This is both a disaster and an opportunity... an opportunity that belongs only to Bane to reach Godhood 20 or even surpass Godhood 21. The unknown nemesis has arrived, and it has also caused the tributary of tyranny in the entire Sea of ​​Force to rise up for this reason.

Once Bane defeats his unseen nemesis, supported by the rising power of tyranny, he could break through to godhood level 20 and even attempt to reach the unprecedented realm of great divine power.

Conversely, if Bane fails, not only will he himself be severely weakened and completely submerged by the crimson radiance of the Force of Tyranny, but the Force of Tyranny will also be destroyed. At that time, as the biggest beneficiary of the divine authority of Tyranny, Bane will be utterly and completely destroyed, forever buried in the river of time, unable even to lie in the astral plane awaiting resurrection.

"Only I, Bane, have ever driven others to the brink of destruction!" The roar of the God of Tyranny echoed throughout his throne hall. "No god or demon can drive me to the brink of destruction, no, I will absolutely not allow it." Venting his fury, supported by the rising Force of Tyranny, Bane, his divine power surging, roared and raged in the sea of ​​the Force, challenging a certain individual who had entered this world—a challenge to a war to the death.

"Either you kill me, or I'll twist your head off! Come on, you insolent wretch! Do you have the right to take my life, Bane? Come on!"

565. The monkey's sneer

Within the Sea of ​​Force, Bane, carrying the Tyranny Force—one of the Force's tributaries—launched a provocative act of rage, which went unnoticed by any other deity. After all, compared to Tyranny, merely one of the evil tributaries of the Force, it was utterly insignificant. Perhaps under normal circumstances, Bane's actions would have attracted the attention of all powerful deities; however, with the chaotic Force surging and enveloping the entire Abyss, no deity noticed this particular tributary of the Force.

Even the kind and neutral gods who disliked Bane paid no attention; instead, they were more concerned with the changes in the Endless Abyss. Frankly, compared to the God of Tyranny, the Endless Abyss was far more dangerous in their eyes.

Of course, it wasn't that no one noticed Bane's provocative actions.

For example, a monkey that is cleaning up the battlefield.

This incredibly powerful monkey, even if it's just an avatar descending with a portion of its power, is not something a mere divine abomination can handle. Even if this divine abomination, through mutation and super-evolution, could overpower a mid-level god, it's still no match for the monkey that has adapted to the rules of this world. This crimson-stained monkey, even as just an avatar in this idealistic world, is the strongest super monkey since the birth of this multiverse.

With the cry of, "Hey, you monster, take this—the Ultimate Proletarian Glorious Iron Fist!" the fist unleashed not only shattered the entire Frost God Zekeskel, extinguishing its hateful divine fire and purifying its twisted soul, but also forcefully created a new tributary of the Force in this world. Although this tributary of the Force was still very weak, clinging to the benevolent Force, it had no ability to provide power to the monkey; rather, it was the monkey that provided power to it.

But it doesn't matter; the monkey doesn't care about this loss at all. In fact, it could be said that when this faint but fiery red primal force was born, a part of the rules of this world unfolded for the monkey. This allows the monkey's physical body outside the world to channel more power into it.

What Ciel did was similar, except that Ciel disrupted fate, and at the moment fate became turbulent, he used his influence to create a tide of chaotic primal forces, greatly benefiting the entire Endless Abyss.

Heh... Do you think the benefits of being an evil god in the void are so easy to obtain?! To put it in more fashionable terms, it's like demanding your life to repay a debt of karma. To put it simply, it's like issuing a loan with exorbitant interest rates.

Since the entire Endless Abyss has benefited from the Charr's arrival, and the demons are happily raking in the money, they shouldn't be surprised if the Charr swallows up the entire Endless Abyss when it truly descends.

The three demon princes were alright; since they hadn't received the Chaos Force, they were able to forcibly sever their connection with the Endless Abyss and escape. As for the others, there was no need to run anymore.

Unfortunately, none of the demons in the endless abyss knew this. The three demon princes were puzzled and took frequent actions because of this. The demon lords who benefited greatly from the chaotic tides of the primal force began to covet the status and power of the demon princes.

It is evident that the Endless Abyss will soon descend into even more severe internal strife, even though their daily routine consists of killing each other.
