Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2004 - 1072: Sky Opening, Earth Shattering (Part 3)

The probability of covertly alerting the three Quasi-Emperors to gather is quite slim.

Attempting such a feat would thrust Taichu into the heart of this peril, an endeavor far too hazardous.

One should never place their trust in the hollow promises of a Dark Quasi-Emperor.

This manifest lack of reliability is precisely why they were the first to advocate for retreat, gripped by a primal fear for their own survival.

Consequently, outside of Taichu, there must surely be a deeper layer to all of this.

"Your Highness, is this your doing?"

After addressing the Quasi-Emperor, Tao Yu pivoted to scrutinize the nebulous cluster of information that comprised the Explaner.

Constructed entirely from data, the Explaner possesses the unique ability to dwell within the subconscious of their believers. Even in the event of a defeat on the field, they can simply be reconstituted from those lingering memories. As far as self-preservation goes, they are peerless among the Divine Kings.

Much like fluid data that can be duplicated, stored, or rearranged, they remain the most resilient Divine King of all.

Beyond their capability to coordinate with Taichu to pinpoint locations, their proficiency in disseminating information is unrivaled.

Given the intricate nature of their existential form, even should the Current World collapse into fragmented ruins, like a leaking vessel, they would persist with ease.

"His Majesty 'Primordial' possesses truly sharp instincts. Here at the edge of the Abyss, the preservation of our eternal nature demands constant evolution. The path of the Divine King is currently fading, leaving us no choice but to fragment the world's authority and ascend once more; it is a task I cannot undertake alone. When the moment arrives, a collective effort will ensure we all reap the rewards..."

At this juncture, the Explaner abandoned all pretense. Their words, while calm, carried a seductive lure.

The Divine Kings operate beyond a simple binary of morality; there is no absolute perception of good or evil, merely individuals guided by their own complex agendas.

Even the perpetually overbearing Heavenly Pillar God King functions largely to compensate for their own perceived rigidities.

While many Divine Kings oppose the Devour of World Will, they all do so with specific strings attached.

The Explaner, by manipulating Taichu and the Dark Quasi-Emperor, orchestrated this scenario to entrap several Conceptual Gods, rendering the debilitating damage to the World Will absolute. In retrospect, the implications of these actions change the entire landscape.

They generated favorable conditions out of thin air, crafting an environment perfectly suited to their interests.

"Well put. Your nature and path provide a natural advantage in partitioning world authority; you stand to gain the lion's share of the spoils."

Taichu scoffed, their expression mirroring a profound displeasure.

"When I sought to eliminate Dawn earlier, it was your intervention that hindered me, was it not?"

"His Majesty Taichu, your methods are excessively brutal. The Dawn Main God and Galaxy Main God serve as vital tools; why must you be so extreme?"

Taichu remains the Divine King who sustains the Purification Holy Hall.

At the moment the Purification Holy Hall faced total destruction, it was Taichu who moved in the shadows to suppress the Main Gods of Dawn and Galaxy.

Yet, while executing this maneuver, they obscured their own essence, even as other Divine Kings moved to obstruct them.

Both factions utilized remote methods to mask their meddling, successfully preventing a larger catastrophe.

While the present outcome reluctantly aligns with Taichu’s goals, it is clear they feel manipulated like a common pawn.

To Taichu, the severe degradation of the World Will is not merely suboptimal; it is a deviation from the ideal path they had envisioned.

However, faced with the current reality, their hands are tied.

"You have outmaneuvered me."

"It seems we have arrived at the only possible conclusion."

The Demon Lord, who has proven fickle in the past, continued to yield to the pressure of the moment.

"Humph."

The Demon Emperor chafed at the result, though they lacked the capacity to alter the trajectory of events.

Bearing the marks of fur and horns, they remained sensitive to the cold, exclusionary stares of the other Divine Kings, even though the World Will treats all with an icy impartiality.

Not even the Demon Lord had suffered such isolation, though the newcomer 'Primordial' received more leniency due to their recent arrival.

Yet, lacking the strength to pivot, they accepted the necessity of dividing authority, effectively baiting Conceptual Gods into inflicting mortal wounds upon the World Will.

Should they refrain from participating, they risked being purged once the others secured their victory, leaving them with no sanctuary but exile to other realms.

Ultimately, they could only project a telepathic message to Tao Yu.

"'Primordial,' while we are frustrated, we must practice restraint. We cannot allow them to seize total control; we must fight to maintain some semblance of equilibrium."

Observing how Tao Yu inquired repeatedly, the Demon Emperor sensed that 'Primordial' shared their precarious position.

Tao Yu offered nothing more than a subtle nod.

Meanwhile, witnessing the reached consensus, the three Dark Quasi-Emperors grew impatient.

"Well? We have granted you ample time to deliberate; have you reached your decision?"

"That insolent worm must kneel and strike his head three thousand times in true contrition, and perhaps then I shall grant mercy."

The Emperor Slayer Divine Spear gripped by Emperor Yu erupted with malevolent power. Behind them, reality warped into a grotesque display as tumorous growths ruptured, sprouting eyes that roamed upon tendril-like wings.

These appendages burrowed deep into the Chaotic Void, greedily drinking in the corrupted energy of distortion.

The surrounding aura surged, thick with a nauseating, sticky blight of misfortune.

The very presence of this energy seemed sufficient to taint any Divine Spirit.

"'Primordial,' we are willing to include you, but you must first silence the grievances caused by your loose tongue."

Taichu sneered once more, holding Tao Yu's previously dignified persona in utter contempt, eager to witness their humiliation.
