Chapter 290 More Schemes
"The fifth problem was the opponent of the Mad Dog, likewise, an element I thought would appear sometime into the future. But it seems that there is no more a future, and everything is jumbled up."
The Lord of Darkness spoke with a weary sigh, and the Sword Lord once again inquired. "What do you mean there is no future? And who fought the Mad Dog?"
"It\'s understandable that not even someone at your, or my level could see through this. I was only lucky to come across a certain Rogue Ancient Goddess that is still in denial of everything. She showed me a glimpse of the coming Era." The Lord of Darkness responded.
"And for your latter question, it is someone who was predicted to arrive, alongside fifteen more Gods in the near future, on the Tablet of Truths written by the Ancient Goddess of Truths."
"The Master of Fate, and likewise, the being that is part of the Olden Era before the birth of Existence, when only Ancient Gods walked through the vast endless Nothingness."
"It was written that, with them, were also other Beings known as "The Rescinded Pillars of Nothingness", and likewise the parents and masters of all Seventy Ancient Gods."
"...."
"...."
This was common knowledge to Supreme Divinities and above, maybe even the God Lords included. But nonetheless, hearing about it everyday still brought shock and wonder to them.
Especially the Sword Lord, he was truly curious what taught the Sword God his Swordsmanship. And if there was a Rescinded Pillar of Swords or something out there.
"Not only them, but there is also the Master of Space-Time and Master of Gravitational Force, within the God Realm. Multiple elements are arriving at the same time."
"Worst of all, none of them are at their full capabilities, as their uses are not even worth those of our current pawns... not like I would dare use them as pawns in the first place."
The Lord of Darkness concluded at that, before moving back to the main topic. "Now, as we have mentioned all five problems, let us think of ways to use them, in order to achieve our goals."
"Indeed, we have already fallen to this level, why not go a bit deeper while we are at it?" The Lord of Balance spoke for the second time throughout the conversation.
Her tone was slightly a bit mocking, as if she was mocking the actions of the Lord of Darkness, while at the same time, as if she was agreeing to his words.
"...."
They of course did not bicker with her, no did they take offense to her mockery. At this point, they should be immune to this Lord\'s provocations.
"Firstly, how do you all propose we use the sudden disappearance of the Goddess of Abomination and Discord to sow more Chaos?" They instead inquired, while facing the other two Lords.
"I don\'t think we can use her, either than as a Scapegoat. Her small Karma with the world, was also erased, thus making it hard to even pinpoint her location." The Lord of Balance spoke, and the Lord of Darkness nodded.
"True. Now for the second problem..." The conversations were just beginning, as there was also the Mortal Worlds Calamity they had to talk about... and much, much more.
p、A,nd , A-n、o、ve,1 Luckily, Time was not of the essence.
"How can we use the participation of the Ancient War God to our favor?" The Lord of Darkness continued with his inquiry, their gaze on the Lord of Balance.
"Aside from being the Ancient War God, he is also the Primal Ragnarok. His appearance has already sown a seed of Absolute Death for all beings within the God Realm." She replied, then added to her response.
"Unless said being was a Primal, or of Primal Bloodline and above, they could forget about coming out of this one alive. Of course, even having the blessing of a Primal can give one a chance of survival."
"But the seeds are sown, and Chaos is just a matter of time. This will also be the opportune moment to Nurture a Child of Chaos, and I just so happen to know a perfect target, who will birth such child for us." She said, a hidden smile under her hood.
"As for people like us, there is no need to worry, either than having Primal Bloodlines, Primal Blessings and the likes, we can easily play around with this Ragnarok."
The Lord of Balance casually added, as she then concluded by affirming that the likes of beings like them, would not be unaffected by the coming Ragnarok. Completely, unaffected.
Even if they weren\'t Creators themselves, they still had 100% assurance of escaping the passive effects of the Descent of an Ancient God. And not just an Ancient God, but possibly the strongest out of all Seventy-Two Ancients.
"That is that. I also believe that we should take this chance to make more Chaos. And this time, let us attack from both fronts, inside-out." The Lord of Darkness proposed.
"I agree." The Lord of Balance affirmed. This time, it was the poor Sword Lord who was left out of the conversation, but he did not seem to mind it much.
"Sword Lord, are your Sword Fiends still ready for yet another joint attack? This time, we are targeting even Greater Divinities, can your people handle it?" She turned towards his direction as she inquired.
"Yeah, they are ready to go at anytime. Plus, we only used those below Greater Divinities. It\'s about time we show them what a Supreme Born race is capable of." The Sword Lord responded as such, feeling Prideful about his words.
"I see. In that case, the external attackers are more than ready. What about the betrayers, Lord of Darkness?" As if she was the one in charge, the Lord of Balance carried the conversation forward.
And the Lord of Darkness did not seem to mind much about it. They responded casually at her commander-like inquiry, "There is an Anomaly within one of the many forests of the God Realm."
"It was so grand it attracted the attentions of almost all Gods of the God Realm. Apparently, the birth of two Transcendent Laws have appeared."
"The Monster Pantheon, Light Pantheon and the Dark Pantheon have shown interest towards it, with at most a single Transcendental God from each headed towards said place." He responded, then added after a brief moment of thought.
"If possible, I\'d use all the Betrayers we have collected in each Pantheon, to fan the flames towards this anomality. With everyone\'s attention there, the process of invasion would be easier."
"Wait, y\'all going to attack when two Supreme Gods are actually watching over the Realm?" The Sword Lord inquired with confusion and intrigue mixed along his tone.
"That\'s where you come in." The Lord of Balance said, then further explained her words, "With you standing gaurd outside the World, it would be more than enough assurance that the two would not make a move."
"More so for the Abyssal Monarch and the Prosecutor. All you have to do is watch, and if one of the two, between the Radiant King and Heavenly Lord, makes a move...." She paused, then continued with a cold tone void of emotions.
"Lay waste to all living beings within that Realm. That should be possible for someone like you, isn\'t it, Fiend?" She inquired, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Of course." The Sword Lord scoffed at her words, and folded his hands in discontence. Nobody likes being looked down upon.
"This time around, we have every right to attack, as we are working in accordance to Ragnarok. Even the Abyssal Monarch and the Prosecutor know that, this is a trial for all Gods."
"And Fiends, are one of the best possibly choices to choose as the opponents of the Gods. If they so dared to try and intervene, which is unlikely, the World Will will punish them." The Lord of Darkness added, and she continued.
"Thus, there is no need for you to fear them, nor for you to be secretive when you attack. Do everything as you see fit, but do not attack before they do."
"We are beings multiple degrees beyond the Laws and Influence of Verses. Thus such a Ragnarok at its initial phase, cannot be defiled by us... Unless the Rules of CHAOS would have to intervene."
"Is that clear, Sword Lord?" The Lord of Balance further explained herself, in case the reckless Sword Lord did something stupid. It would not be the first time, either.
"Yes yes, I heard you loud and clear." The Sword Lord clicked his tongue in annoyance as he responded. He really, really disliked being treated like a mad man.
"We now have Plan A, now for Plan A.2. How do we use the appearance of the two Nature sisters to our favor? Though they are both beyond the God Realm, we can at least still use them... is that not so?" The Lord of Darkness inquired.
"It is so." The Lord of Balance then affirmed his words, but did not explain herself. Instead, she skipped over both Ancient Goddesses, and moved on to the next problem.
"How do you say we use the fouth problem to our favor? The arrival of Ancient Gods?" She threw a question back at them, not minding their opinion.
"I believe we can conjur up some rumors that would rile up the hearts of the Gods." The Lord of Darkness said withoit hesitation, ignoring the fact that the Lord of Balance skipped over a possible Plan.
"...."
Meanwhile, the Sword Lord could not help but look down on these two fools, who were too smart and cautious to understand the joys of life. \'Yall bitter as fuck.\' He thought.
"That could work. After all, the appearance of a single Ancient Goddess brought no problem, but for all of them to appear, at the same time... is too suspicious to anyone. The rumors must be a bit deadly though..." She added her own opinion, after affirming that the plan was feasible.
"Indeed. Such as, the appearance of all Ancient Gods might lead to the evolution of the whole of Terra... or perhaps that their appearance, might lead to a Calamity that affects the whole of Terra. Far more dreadful than the Divine Calamity."
The Lord of Darkness entertained her thoughts, and even added his own opinions as well. The Lord of Balance nodded, and decided that such a plan was perfect.
There was no need to go that deeply. After all, the attack of the Sword Fiends, would be evidence. As well as the death of multiple Gods... a Calamity that judges even Gods. A Calamity that makes even Supremes helpless.
A Ragnarok.
Puzzles would only be fitting in together, and nobody would believe that everything was planned from the get go. Which was more time for them to relax and continue planning.
"Since that is decided, what about the Master of Fate? Or any of the other possible Rescinded Pillars?" The Lord of Darkness moved on with the conversation.
"I dont know. You already know that the anomalies of the two Transcendent Laws is probably due to his presence, right? And yet, you dared to scheme at him. They might have prowess capable of speed blitzing all your pawns you know."
"Why still bother including him? Unless you are not sure of yourself, and desire to send in a Cosmological Gods, or possibly even a Supreme God?" The Lord of Balance mocked with a light, carefree tone.
"Yes. I am unsure if my preparations are perfect, which is why I would be more than happy if a Cosmological God, or more Transcendental Gods were gathered."
"Just the Ancient Gods could fight Supremes even with a cultivation base of Transcendentals... we do not know what level the Rescinded Pillar of Fate is at, but they should be more terrifying, is that not common?"
"They transcend Ancient Gods after all. So even if it is them transcending themselves and becoming Transcendentals, their power should be more terrifying than that."
