Tartarus had originally absorbed the chaotic source and integrated it into the body of the Abyss, which naturally strengthened the power of the Abyss’s body, rather than merely increasing the completeness of the divine status of the God of Chaos.
However, Tartarus himself had only just been born at that time and was in the early stages of his development.
At the same time, the Earth, Darkness, and Night contained certain chaotic sources that were not present in the Abyss, which also increased the number of types of chaotic sources in the Abyss, but this was not used to enhance its power.
The overall rate of power growth was not particularly high.
Now, having become the God of Devouring, Tartarus actively absorbed the chaotic source, which clearly made him understand that his power was growing much faster than before.
For over ten years, it had fully absorbed and merged with that chaotic black sphere that had originally resembled something.
This amount exceeded the volume of chaotic sources that darkness and night had poured into the abyss over the past century.
It constituted nearly half of the amount of chaotic material that the Earth had released into the abyss over the past thousand years.
According to the second page of the Book of Creation, the God of Chaos had reached 80% completion.
Tartarus believed that the Chaotic Sources he had fought the Sky God for would surely reach 100% completion, making him, thereby, the God of Chaos.
However, a problem arose during the process.
When his perfection reached 95%, he suddenly broke through to the peak of divine power.
Then the completeness of the divine status of the God of Chaos plummeted to 50%—even lower than before!
The sudden change nearly made Tartarus think something was wrong with the Book of Creation.
But after a long wait, he continued to absorb and merge the remaining chaotic sources.
Upon reaching a certain amount, his share increased from 50% to 51%, and he roughly understood the reason.
The problem was not with the Book of Creation, but with the sharp increase in the Abyss’s own power, which had caused the percentage issue.
After millennia of contemplation, after absorbing the chaotic source and, incidentally, a fragment of the source of other gods, the sensory analysis of the interaction between them was complete.
Although Tartarus did not possess a deep understanding of the origins of the gods, one thing was certain.
Whether it was the earth, darkness, night, desire, or even the sky.
All of them contributed to the growth, expansion, and prosperity of the Chaos realm, making the originally primitive Chaos increasingly rich.
Their original nature was mostly positive and encompassed various variations of life origins.
All these deities were deified at birth and possessed divine bodies.
In comparison, the origins hidden in the abyss, with their countless chaotic sources, did not contribute to the growth and expansion of the world.
Chaos originated from the source, interfering with the development of the deities and disrupting it, and naturally interfering with the development of the world, destroying all spirits and all things.
Extinction, decay, corrosion…
all kinds of negative factors that destroy life had a much more devastating impact on the world than the positive ones.
The abyss was not deified at birth, most likely because it represented the negative origin of the Chaos realm.
If a deified abyss were allowed to sow chaos while the Chaos realm had not yet fully formed, it might perish before it could fully recover.
Thus, the worldview instincts of Chaos suppressed its successful deification.
Tartarus did not fully understand why the Chaos realm gave birth to abysses that brought no benefit to the world itself, but rather led to destruction.
One could speculate that it might be similar to the concept of opposition and yin and yang he had known in his past life.
Where there is yang, there is yin; where there is positive, there is negative.
Tartarus speculated that another reason was that the abyss was so vast and contained so many negative and unstable sources that it made deification difficult.
Therefore, Tartarus, who had received the Book of Creation, saw in it a way to become the God of Chaos.
By becoming the God of Chaos, he would be able to control the chaotic source, which constituted nearly ninety percent of all the source in the abyss, so this interference would naturally disappear.
Then he would be able to successfully become a deity.
Unfortunately, he had not yet become the God of Chaos and had not fully comprehended the source of this chaos.
The difference between the early and late stages of peak divine power might seem like just one period, but in reality, the difference in power was immense.
At the peak of his divine might in the early stages, Tartarus could easily defeat him, as well as Uranus, the god of the sky, when Tartarus reached the later stages of his divine might.
The higher the level of the realm, the greater the gap in power.
This time, he had broken through from powerful divine power to the peak of divine might, his power soaring to the heavens, and the area of the abyss itself increasing more than tenfold.
The divine status of the God of Chaos suddenly dropped from 98% to 50%.
It was like filling a small bucket with the same amount of water, then pouring that water into a much larger bucket; naturally, the large bucket would not be completely full, and the water would occupy a smaller area of the large bucket than in the small one.
Unfortunately, Tartarus, who had been just one step away from becoming the God of Chaos, was now even further from achieving the full divine status of Chaos.
Fortunately, the Abyss itself had increased in size more than tenfold, but the divine integrity of the God of Chaos had not decreased more than tenfold, but only by nearly half.
This was a happy accident amidst misfortune, and Tartarus could only console himself with this thought.
After all, having reached the peak of divine power, he became even less afraid of the Sky God.
Unless Uranus, the god of the sky, reached the late stage of peak divine power or even became stronger.
Otherwise, Tartarus could ensure that he never left the city alive.
“There is one piece of good news: the Mother Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, will give birth to new gods one after another.
All these gods must possess the Chaotic Source, and at the same time, they will continue to generate the Chaotic Source.” “The god of the sea, the god of the mountains, the twelve Titans and their descendants…
the more gods, the more chaos, and the more I can absorb, the more it will surpass what I have now.” “Even if the Abyss itself becomes much larger, and the probability of its fall increases by 100%, achieving the full divine status of Chaos will not be difficult, but rather easier.” Tartarus had not absorbed and merged with the chaotic black sphere completely before reaching the peak of divine power; rather, he had broken through halfway.
Therefore, he continued to absorb and merge with the others, which further increased the completeness of the divine status of the God of Chaos.
At the same time, the Devouring Avatar had absorbed not only the Black Sphere of the Chaotic Source but also part of the origin and divine power of the Sky God.
Over the past decade, it had not only merged all the chaotic sources but also other sources, as well as the divine power.
The completeness of the descriptions of divine attributes on the other pages of the Book of Creation had also improved.

“The full percentage reserve of the God of Elements has three points, one of which is that consuming the corresponding element can increase this percentage.
In the future, the ocean will be born from water, the weather from wind, the earth from soil, and the sun from fire.” “Let a new god be born soon, or I will not be able to absorb the elements quickly.” — “Brother Tartarus, I sense that you have awakened.
I want to see you.
May I enter the Abyss?” From above the abyss, the voice of a beautiful girl sounded.
“Nyx?
Enter the Abyss?” Tartarus asked in confusion.
In the abyss appeared the goddess of night, Nyx, clad in the veil of night.
She looked down into the abyss, anticipation in her eyes.
“I have awakened.
Welcome, Nyx,” Tartarus replied, and in the once dense abyss, a deep chasm appeared, leading straight into its depths.
“Whoosh!” The body of the goddess of night, Nyx, vanished…
