It had been confirmed that the chaotic source was dangerous to the gods, but Uranus, the god of the sky, still did not believe that Tartarus, the god of the abyss, was acting in his own interests and in Gaia’s.
Any unknown deity not under one’s control could pose a threat to his future.
He consistently maintained that something was wrong with the abyss.
Therefore, after his birth, he told Gaia about Tartarus.
He also consulted with Erebus, the god of darkness, about the Abyss.
He also spoke with Eros, the god of love and desire, about the abyss.
Through comprehensive research and study of the world and the deities themselves, Uranus was confident that, as the god of the sky and the embodiment of the sky, he possessed a powerful divine body surpassing that of most gods.
However, a person could possess only one divine body; he could not possess a second, and other deities could not possess a second divine body either.
He was certain that what he saw was not the deification of the god of the abyss, but the deification of the god of devouring divine power, possessing the ability to “devour.” After the deification of the abyss, he would have another divine body.
Such deification of divine authority through the subjugation of the abyss must be a unique ability of the god of the abyss.
At the same time, he knew that even before his birth, he had absorbed a significant portion of the origins and divine power of the Mother Goddess Gaia, as well as the origins and divine power of night and darkness.
The God of the Abyss was able to absorb the chaotic source.
The power of absorption already belonged to Tartarus, but similar divine abilities to absorb still existed, so he too had a chance.
Therefore, Uranus, the god of the sky, awaited the birth of the next god to test his ideas.
Now, such an opportunity had arisen.
Suddenly, a divine membrane of bright colors appeared in the sky, connecting to the ring-shaped continent, attempting to intercept the invisible source and divine power flying from outside the sky.
He wanted to seize the source and divine power that rightfully belonged to Pontus, the god of the sea!
Uranus’s current power was not much inferior to that of the Mother Goddess Gaia.
If he succeeded, he would equal or even surpass her in strength.
From then on, the sky would become the most powerful force in the world.
Whatever he did, who would dare to criticize him?
Who would dare to oppose him?
In this world, only the strongest force has a voice!
“The mad sky is stealing what belongs to his brother.
The gift of the Chaos realm is probably divine power—is he trying to seize it?” said Nyx, the goddess of night.
Although the new goddess had absorbed the essence and divine power of the night, it was only a small amount and had no effect on her.
However, if the Sky God succeeded, it might even prevent the birth of the new god.
The heavens were hindering the birth of new gods!
This was a terrible act.
“Yes, he is seizing the divine right to the seas,” said Tartarus.
Whether it was important or not, Tartarus said it deliberately.
Moreover, he was confident that the Sky God would fail.
He sensed that even if he absorbed the clone and rushed forward, using his powerful devouring divine energy, he could not absorb the origin and divine power bestowed upon him by Chaos from beyond the heavens.
Compared to Chaos, their current power was not a matter of strength versus weakness—rather, they were not even on the same level.
The image of Erebus, the god of darkness, dissolved into the darkness, leaving no trace of divine consciousness, and vanished completely.
Conflict was about to resume; this place was dangerous and not suitable for him.
“Nyx, Erebus, release the barrier of darkness and night.” After Tartarus finished speaking, hundreds of millions of massive stone pillars suddenly rose from the deepest abyss of the earth.
These stone pillars, arranged in a circle, rapidly grew taller and were the first to plunge into the darkness.
Almost immediately after Tartarus finished speaking, Nyx, the goddess of night, commanded the night to remove the barrier leading to the abyss, and Erebus, the god of darkness, did the same.
If darkness blocked the path, the abyss would have to expend too much energy to break through, and it might even turn into a war between the abyss and darkness.
But now that the darkness had dispersed, the massive stone pillars grew at a startling speed.
At that moment, an incredibly dense membrane of the sky surrounded the earth and the ring-shaped land.
Suddenly, countless mouths appeared on the sky membrane, their gaping maws radiating powerful suction, attempting to absorb the invisible source and divine energy penetrating the sky from outside.
At that moment, hundreds of millions of massive stone pillars pierced through the darkness and supported the underground layer of the ring-shaped land surrounding the Earth.
The god of the ocean was also quite powerful, while the Mother Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, was in the process of giving birth, so her divine body could not manifest.
However, she seemed to sense what was happening at the edge of the world.
As the stone pillar in the abyss grew taller and reached its target, a huge gaping hole hundreds of millions of feet wide automatically formed in the earth.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom…” It was a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight: hundreds of millions of stone pillars lying in the abyss, bursting forth from the chasm.
Then the stone pillar continued its journey, rising tens of millions of meters before crashing into the towering, dense membrane of the sky.
At that moment, the abyss itself and the sky itself collided!
It was also the first time the abyss and the sky had truly clashed!
Battle!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and caused the hearts of many deities to tremble slightly.
Half of the abyssal stone pillars crashed into the sky membrane and shattered, while the other half—tens of millions of abyssal stone pillars that had reached the sky—punctured tens of millions of huge holes in the ring-shaped sky membrane.
After the sky membrane stopped blocking it, the abyssal pillar struck the sky.
The deafening sound instantly spread across the entire earth.
Above the ring-shaped territory, the two deities, both at the early stage of peak divine power, unleashed immense and devastating might.
Erebus, the god of darkness, who had originally been far from the ends of the earth, moved rapidly through the darkness, quickly retreating from the battlefield.
Even Nyx, the goddess of night, merged with the night, taking on the devouring body of the god Tartarus.
The clash shook Uranus, the god of the sky.
The sky was much larger than the abyss, but he sensed that the power of the abyss was in no way inferior to his own.
At that moment, Uranus, the god of the sky, was momentarily stunned.
Because after the collision of the celestial body and the abyssal body, the invisible origin and divine power passed through the sky membrane in the ordinary way, not flowing through the hole created by the collision in the sky membrane, but rather, the sky membrane seemed to cease to exist for this invisible origin and divine power.
The invisible origin and divine power passed through the wall of the sky, through the area of collision between the two mighty divine forces, and naturally descended upon the ring-shaped land.
Uranus’s attempts had been completely futile; he had failed to capture a trace of the source or divine power.
The sky membrane dissipated, and Uranus no longer summoned divine power.
It was meaningless to continue; it would only become clearer later.
Similarly, the remaining stone pillars that had shot toward the sky crumbled into a pile of debris that rained down.
As the immaterial source and divine power continued to pour in, the ring-shaped land cracked and collapsed even more violently.
In a very short time, the newly formed ring of land, except for a few scattered outcrops, collapsed, forming a ring-shaped depression that surrounded the original territory.
This circular depression was incredibly deep.
Without interference and obstruction from darkness, Tartarus truly sensed that the depression was so deep it almost resembled an abyss.
At such close range, even in darkness, he could instantly pass through the darkness and enter the pit.
Around the Earth, a ring-shaped depression formed, within which divine light of blue and white appeared, floating and filling the entire depression.
Then each black-and-white point of light transformed into a sphere of transparent liquid, which was exactly what Tartarus recognized—sea water!
“It is about to be born—let’s go!” In the darkness, Tartarus looked at Nyx, the goddess of night, standing beside him.
