“The Book of Creation—a book that creates and develops worlds, through devouring, generating chaos, elements…
creating a new world!” This bold idea, like a spark, ignited in Tartarus’s heart and quickly spread like wildfire, filling his entire mind.
“Stop!” Tartarus quickly suppressed any further development of this idea.
He suppressed his divine sense to its limit, and the originally dark abyss became even calmer at this moment, as if the gods within it had completely vanished.
The idea was bold, but this was the Chaos realm.
Chaos was not a person or a god, but a world of gods, with certain world rules suitable for the current world.
He had not yet deciphered the laws of this world.
He was not certain whether Chaos could hear the voices of all the gods and all things in the world.
But given Tartarus’s current power, he did not want to try to challenge it.
If one dwells on an idea too often, it may inadvertently flash through one’s mind.
Or perhaps, if it happens too frequently, Chaos will learn of it.
At present, his power was far inferior to that of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, let alone the power of the Chaos realm.
“At this moment, I should first focus on how to become the God of Chaos and transform my original body into the god of the abyss.” Tartarus quickly changed his perspective: “Devouring clones can make one stronger, but there are too few gods right now, and nothing has been born yet.” “Except for Eros, the god of love and desire, everyone else is stronger than me and cannot be absorbed in battle.
There are even fewer opportunities to devour others.
It is very difficult to quickly surpass the intermediate stage of divine power and reach the stage of powerful divine power.” “Even upon reaching the stage of powerful divine power, I would still be far inferior to gods at the peak of their divine might.
Only after achieving the divine status of the Abyss will I gain great power.” “If the Body of the Abyss God were still here, this would not have happened.
The Sky God intervened and nearly caught me off guard while my clone was absorbing.
I need to accelerate the absorption and merging of these chaotic sources.” As he pondered this, Tartarus realized that the vast amount of chaotic essence from the Devouring Space had completely flowed into the Abyss.
He controlled these chaotic sources to spread as widely as possible throughout the abyss.
Divine power circulated, beginning to digest and integrate this immense amount of chaotic origin…
— Between the earth and the abyss, in the darkness and night, in an unknown depth that no other god could perceive.
The Dark God Erebus intervened: “Nyx, the sky god Uranus is too powerful.
You should not be so openly taking Tartarus’s side; it is dangerous for you.” “What danger?
The gods are eternal and immortal—I do not fear them,” said Nyx, the Goddess of Night.
“You have already seen that Brother Tartarus has gained the power to devour gods, and in the future, he will be able to absorb a vast amount of chaotic sources.” “Looking back, we need to gradually channel the chaotic source from darkness and night into the abyss.
But after this, there will be no need for that.” “As long as his Devouring Divine Body is inside, it can quickly absorb these chaotic sources that harm us.” “Since the chaotic source will largely disappear, our rate of growth will accelerate.
Now that we have joined forces, our power is not much weaker than that of the Sky God, and in the future we can surpass him.” “That is not the case,” said Erebus, the god of darkness.
“The sky poses a greater threat to me than the earth, and its future power may surpass that of all of us gods.” “You must also understand that it is not in our interest to anger him.
Moreover, he can bring light to the earth, and there will be no more night and darkness.” “If we anger the sky, it will fill the earth with light, and night and darkness will vanish.
We will have no place on the earth.
Once we leave the earth, our power will greatly diminish, and the danger will become even greater.” “Sister Gaia is the most powerful.
She allows me to feel the beauty of the earth.
She is gentle to all of us gods.
She will not allow the sky to run rampant,” Nyx, the Goddess of Night, stated firmly.
She added: “Tartarus helps us and is kind to us.
The sky god is too arrogant and looks down on us.
Erebus, we should stand with Tartarus.” The Dark God Erebus frowned slightly, his tone growing serious: “I want to emphasize one point: you and I were born at the same time, we belong to the same origin.” “Gaia, the Mother Earth; Tartarus, the God of the Abyss; and Eros, the God of Love and Desire.
These three deities are called brothers and sisters, but they are not our closest kin.” “You and I are brother and sister—you should trust me, I will not harm you, but you should beware of other gods.” “The gods are immortal, but serious injuries can reduce their divine influence and weaken their power.
If they continue to be maimed, they may even descend to Eros’s level.” “But Eros controls lust and eroticism, and even other mystical forces.
If we truly descend to that level, we will not be as good as him.” The Goddess of Night, Nyx, frowned and fell silent.
Erebus, the god of darkness, continued: “Darkness and night cover the earth and cling to the abyss; it is we who fully perceive them.” “The earth is not entirely beautiful; it also has a chaotic side.
You should have sensed this.
The number of chaotic sources contained in the earth is terrifying.” “Only because of her beautiful appearance and abundant life energy can we clearly perceive her beauty, but in reality, Gaia is very dangerous.” “Similarly, without communicating with Tartarus, the Abyss was to me the most dangerous, terrifying, mysterious, and undesirable place.” “The sky god was born from Gaia, and the sky belongs to the earth.
Therefore, angering the sky god can be considered angering the earth as well, so keep your distance from them.
Only by fully merging with darkness and night is it safe.” “Thank you, my brother Erebus, I will consider this.” The two deities vanished, and the night fell silent.
Eros, the god of love and desire, sometimes appeared on the earth, sometimes in the darkness, and sometimes above the abyss.
He sensed that the earth was calm, the sky was calm, the night was calm, and the abyss was calm.
In the Chaos realm, such tranquility reigned.
But this tranquility was only what the eyes perceived.
He possessed divine authority over lust and love; he could amplify all lust and love, and could perceive the emotions of all things more keenly than anyone.
What he saw was calm, but what he perceived was far from calm.
Beneath the calm exterior lurked impending upheaval.
It was a divine shock!
The world was in chaos!
“The Chaos realm has fallen into chaos!
The first love has been born—will there be a second?
Or should I guide the second?” Eros looked up at the sky and vanished…
— Before becoming the Devouring God, Tartarus’s abyssal body absorbed and merged with the Chaotic Source at a relatively slow speed.
After becoming the God of Devouring, he gained divine power that included not only the ability to devour but also the ability to quickly digest and merge.
This caused the Abyss itself to merge with the chaotic source at an incredible speed.
If measured by the concept of past lives, approximately ten years had passed.
Tartarus finally digested and integrated this immense amount of chaotic essence, and at that moment, his power reached a new level.
Peak divine power, early stage!
However, upon advancing to the next stage, he encountered a very unpleasant problem that he had not foreseen.
