Chapter 960: Chaos, Over and Above Common Sense (Part 2)

Sui Xiong wielded his palm and lashed out at that lump of sticky, gooey mud before him, causing it to retreat. Then without stopping, he hurriedly whipped behind him and drew another lump of sticky, gooey mud to one side.

The battle with Chaos, on the whole, was very disgusting. This fellow not only looked like mud, but the way it behaved was no different from mud as well. It seemed to have long forgotten how to fight. It merely surged over slowly, wanting to envelop Sui Xiong with its body so that it could digest and absorb it.

Just like Slime that belonged to the lowest ranks of demons.

But it might be the world’s most powerful and also, most dangerous Slime. At least Sui Xiong had never thought that there was actually a Slime that could take a full hit from him without showing any trace of shock. It merely took a few steps back.

If this thing were to be put in a game, it would probably be that kind of hidden demon with infinite life. If there was no deliberate attempt to find it, after the final battle with the great demon of the game, there might be a chance the player would not have encountered this hidden demon at all.

It was so ridiculously strong. So strong that it made no sense at all.

Sui Xiong was secretly complaining in his heart, but there was not a single moment where he stopped moving. He constantly attacked in all directions as he continued to beat back all of Chaos’ attacks.

Even so, he was close to being surrounded.

The other great Divine Powers did think of rendering support to Sui Xiong. But after charging up, all Chaos had to do was to hit them with a ball of mud and they would go dizzy from the erosion by the power of chaos. If it had not been for their comrades who dragged them back, coupled with the timely rescue by the Dragon of Chaos, they might simply have died within a few minutes. That was how vulnerable they were.

After a few rounds of such rescuing, the great Divine Powers finally came to terms with reality—this battle was between the Void Mask and Chaos. They were, at best, some form of supplementary help by the side. Therefore, they were quick to change their battle tactics. They launched a fight that focused on retreating when hit. Then they constantly threw their most powerful hits at Chaos, viciously smashing it with their attacks. And from time to time, they would give Sui Xiong additional help. To a certain extent, this was still considered quite helpful.

Unfortunately, even the most powerful Dragon of Chaos was completely restrained by Chaos. The dragon could only serve as a remedy whilst hiding far away, not even daring to get near.

Since his comrades were not very reliable, then of course, Sui Xiong could only rely on himself. He continuously increased his strength and attacked in all directions. Over and over again, he retaliated Chaos’ attacks. However, no matter how many times he fought back, Chaos’s power still showed no visible signs of declining. This fellow seemed to lack complete knowledge of what it meant to be “exhausted.” It only knew how to attack with all its might, making Sui Xiong wonder if it really had no intelligence at all, just like the Tibetan Mastiffs that dared to roar and challenge a tiger because they were plain foolish.

However, the Tibetan Mastiffs were not that powerful. If they had been even a billion times as powerful as Chaos, more than half of Earth would have become dog sh*t.

The body of Chaos was enshrouded by strange forces. Even attacks by the great Divine Powers found it very difficult to break through this thing that seemed to be a kind of shield. The moment an attack that was violent enough to destroy an entire world bombarded into Chaos’ body, it would be greatly weakened. The remaining force would have become so weak to the extent where anyone could tell that it was completely harmless just with a single glance. The effect of such an attack on Chaos’ body would only be seen as a few ripples through “mud.” There would not be any other visible effects.

For anyone who truly wanted to do some effective damage to Chaos’ body, they would need to wrap a layer of power of order or goodness around the outside of their attack. This layer of power had to first cancel out the power of the shield, then the attack that was wrapped within the layer of power would be less weakened and thus be able to achieve some effect. If there were two layers wrapped around their attack at the same time, their attacks would not be weakened and could achieve the best effects.

It took the gods hundreds of attacks before they found the most effective way to attack. However, even if one hundred percent of the force of their powers were to land on Chaos, the damage that they could cause it was, in truth, not much. It would be nothing more than a slight explosion of “mud” and some splashing of dirty “muddy water.” That fellow might not even have any bit of a reaction. It seemed as though Chaos could not feel anything at all. No pain, no nothing.

Even a fool could tell that such an attack would be of little use.

But the great Divine Powers did not have any other better ways either. Compared to the ordinary gods, their powers were already much stronger. But in the face of Chaos, they could only feel their own sense of powerlessness.

What solution could they possibly come up with when their enemy was something that they could not hit and could not defeat, but yet the mere touch of it could seriously injure them?

If it had not been for Sui Xiong taking the front, and the help of the Dragon of Chaos in remedying the damage caused by the erosion of the power of chaos, they might find themselves in a mess of wounds and deaths. There might even be a possibility of them being completely defeated.

It was gradually becoming apparent to all the great Divine Powers present that the gap between them and Chaos was not due to their differences in power. It was something more crucial and essential... perhaps they could call it the difference in the “center of life.”

This was something that could not be helped. Just as how nothing could stand against the gods, when the gods had to face Chaos, their abilities fell short of their wishes, and they were unable to do what they very much wanted to do. Even if they were willing to work with all they were worth, there was simply no place for them to start.

A battle at the level of gods would generally require them to find the other’s vital point to strike a fatal blow. If the opponent’s true vital point could not be found, at least an effective means of attacking the other party should be found before they could be said to be fighting a battle. But regardless of how they had done their best by thunderously launching hundreds of attacks, the great Divine Powers themselves were not certain if there would be any effect—from Chaos’ nonchalant look, most likely their attacks were not working.

Upon comparison, Sui Xiong, who had charged up to the front, was able to exchange blows with Chaos. And their battle went on even though no one could find any meaning in fighting such a battle.

It was the same for Sui Xiong, who also could grasp no understanding of the situation, much less the great Divine Powers.

Chaos seemed to want to wrap Sui Xiong up and digest him, like what Slime did. But now, Sui Xiong was wholly enveloped by the power of “goodness.” Even if Chaos could attack till Sui Xiong was worn out, how could the “chaotic and evil” Chaos eat the “good” Sui Xiong?

Would it not suffer from an upset stomach?

Moreover, Chaos was a product of the fall of the God of Evil, a greater Divine Power. How could its means of attack be so singular? There was not a tinge of the majestic stance that a greater Divine Power should possess to be seen at all.

From the start of the war to the present, other than demonstrating an extraordinary ability to resist and fight back, as well as an extremely thick “chaotic attribute,” which seemed similar to highly toxic poison, Chaos had not shown any other skills. From its size, it should be obvious that possessing strength would be a matter of course. There was nothing special about it.

With just this bit of capability, could it really have been a greater Divine Power back in the day?

Sui Xiong was a little skeptical.

During the exchange of blows between the Master of Order and the God of Light, even time and space were distorted. And all that the great Divine Powers who were watching the battle in the vicinity could see were these distorted scenes. This was how the strength of their powers could be emphasized and how their sophisticated auras could be further enhanced.

The ability that Chaos was now demonstrating was truly... Well, fame had fallen short of the truth!

With such a thought in mind, Sui Xiong’s hands could not help slackening a little in strength.

And at that moment where he slacked off, a major change happened!
