Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2091: 2091: Showdown
The epic conflict of the Third Era has finally dawned.
Fourteen formidable entities face off against one another, unleashing the bloodiest conflict in the Realm of the Heavens, one that will reshape the heavenly realm's future layout and dictate the course of the Fourth Era!
It's an age so short that it's hard to fathom.
In contrast to previous periods, the Third Era seems like a mere blink from the viewpoint of the first two eras, but it delivers a timeless, unbreakable splendor.
Even though these fourteen powerful figures haven't struck yet, the clash of their presences rumbles like thunder, vast beyond belief, igniting massive ruin and rebirth across the heavens.
Their abilities shatter the existing cosmos, only to forge a fresh universe in an instant.
“At last, their clash is on the verge of starting!”
The Alliance of Heavens, formed by uniting countless realms, observes the scene with utmost gravity.
Though their might falls short of the Divine Martial or Divine Alliance, it forms a formidable bloc capable of safeguarding itself.
“This fight of theirs has to be brutally intense. Our role is to band together. Ideally, both factions suffer massive losses, letting us grab advantages amid the turmoil!”
“You're right; alone, we can't rival them—siding with either could turn us into mere fodder. Unity gives us a shot; our combined force can't be dismissed!”
“We'll simply watch how their battle unfolds!”
The Alliance of Heavens stays vigilant.
Yet in truth,
Chu Yuan and the Divine Capital hold little esteem for the Alliance of Heavens.
“Baoyao, in the last Realm of the Heavens conflict, you stayed neutral, but now you're aligning with the Divine Martial Empire. Realize this: another Realm of the Heavens war is here, and the result won't shift. Heed the old warnings; the King of the Heavens serves as the perfect caution. Pull back, and neutrality remains an option for you.”
Evil spoke to Baoyao.
“The times are different now; we're in the Third Era. Previously, neutrality made sense since the King of the Heavens stood no chance. Yet today, I glimpse the rise of a fresh dawn. The coming age will be one of lasting oneness, rendering wild notions pointless. You might claim a single triumph, but repeating it is out of reach. The Emperor isn't like the King of the Heavens—he offers no openings!”
Baoyao spoke with firm conviction.
Escape was impossible for him.
Could neutrality hold?
Staying neutral spelled doom, as one faction would devour his forces entirely. Such stupidity wasn't his way.
“Evil, return to the right path. Surrender your fight and merge into the Empire, and the Emperor will embrace your strength, enabling a genuine eternal oneness!”
Baoyao declared.
In fact, he flipped the script to convince Evil.
And his words rang true.
Should these supreme deities drop their opposition, Chu Yuan truly wouldn't seek vengeance later; the Empire's vast might would swallow all and dominate everything.
Still, this outcome was utterly unattainable.
“Paths that diverge can't work together, nor can roads that split ever meet—mine is set.”
Evil responded.
Reincarnation, Baoyao, and Heart stand solidly with Chu Yuan, upholding his vision for an everlasting unified Fourth Era.
However, these ten supreme deities harbor their own schemes, refusing to follow others' trails, aiming instead to rise as titans through personal might and chase their unique destinies.
At its core, this is a clash of destinies.
“No further words then—only combat lies ahead.”
A matchless sacred artifact materialized in Baoyao's grasp.
“God has ascended to the Heaven-above-the-Heavens; you're the sole one who can clash with him head-on. Ages have gone by without a move, but strike first and overwhelm him utterly, opening a path for the rest of us.”
Magic urged.
Prime chimed in too, “Yes, he might outshine the King of the Heavens in tyranny, cruelty, and drive, yet he falls short of that peak, while you've evolved; your might can hold him down!”
“He wields the surging tide of the Third Era, yet we embody our eras just as fiercely.” Witch declared.
They aimed for God to take on the enigmatic and fearsome Divine Martial Emperor.
This push wasn't to make God bear the heaviest toll, but simply because he alone occupied the Heaven-above-the-Heavens realm, making him fit to battle the Divine Martial Emperor straight up.
Magic's defeat stood as evidence.
“Heaven-above-the-Heavens, Divine Martial Emperor.”
God advanced unhurriedly, his sacred glow radiating, birthing God's domain, with his sovereign presence expanding—utterly exalted.
The holy presence of the God-above-Gods proves utterly horrifying.
“Behold the might of God, transcending the skies, God-above-Gods!”
Every celestial gaze turned to God; the sheer scope of the God-above-Gods' influence even swayed the supreme deities, sensing God towered over them.
Such might could easily overpower the supreme deities.
“In the prior Realm of the Heavens clash, God attained the Heaven-above-the-Heavens realm, and over the ages, his mastery there has grown profound. Without a Divine Martial Emperor, none could stand against him one-on-one!”
The nine supreme deities bound to God mused inwardly.
Though allied, each nursed private agendas and motives, driven purely by self-interest at heart.
Back then, toppling the King of the Heavens without God was unthinkable.
“Should we vanquish the Divine Martial and usher in the Fourth Era, God could attain the King of the Heavens' level or beyond. Yet upon entering the Fourth Era, we too can claim Heaven-above-the-Heavens!”
For these supreme deities, all are competitors, with God looming as the biggest future foe.
Still, God's prowess hints at tomorrow; for now, Divine Martial poses the sharper danger, and his dream of endless oneness faces total scorn.
Once they reach Heaven-above-the-Heavens, another deadlock forms.
That said, this impasse differs entirely from the Second Era.
The Second Era's unique setting fostered varied development, spawning numerous lesser and mighty deities.
But in the Fourth Era, just a handful of dominant realms endure; minor deities linger only within their domains, with no room for others to rise.
Hence, the Fourth Era's deadlock starkly contrasts the Second Era's.
“Divine Martial Emperor, you pose a greater menace than the King of the Heavens.”
God launched his assault, unleashing pinnacle sacred might, as a beam from the Divine Realm swept forth to assail Chu Yuan.
“Excellent, God has made his play. His prowess can pin down the Divine Martial Emperor. Now it's time for us to move; let God handle the supreme Divine Martial Emperor by himself as we tackle Reincarnation, Baoyao, and Heart!”
The moment God struck, the remaining supreme deities released their ultimate forces.
“Reincarnation's ability is strange and adaptable; Heart has emerged from the Heart Demon phase, embodying both a pure essence and a dreadful Heart Demon. Hell, use your Rebirth Hell against Reincarnation, and Evil, with your expertise in soul depths, block the Heart God—meanwhile, we'll target Baoyao and smash him!”
