Reborn with Infinity Skill Points, I Enslaved All Universes Chapter 646 -646-The Mind God of Knowledge

"Why are you here?"

Daniel’s gaze was frigid, his voice lacking even a hint of relaxation as he addressed the newcomer.

The Mind God of Knowledge came to a halt several paces away. He was a stark contrast to the other Gods of Knowledge—those entities ruled by icy logic and a zealot's rationality. His face betrayed emotions far more complex.

There was caution.

There was restraint.

And there was a palpable, distinctly human terror.

"I have no desire to become a fool," he articulated slowly, "nor a sacrificial pawn whose only purpose is to prepare the wedding gown for another."

"Therefore," he went on, his eyes locked onto Daniel's, "I have decided to struggle."

Without further delay, he posed the question that carried the weight of the world.

"Are you willing to cooperate?"

Daniel didn't offer an immediate reply.

Instead, he observed the god in silence before shifting his attention toward the horizon—toward that other presence whose aura had already ascended beyond human comprehension.

Knowledge Daniel.

That monstrous entity whose Cultivation and power now exceeded all established boundaries.

"Cooperate?" Daniel finally spoke, his words sharp and devoid of mercy.

"Do you truly believe you still possess the standing to negotiate cooperation?"

"I certainly do."

The Mind God of Knowledge answered firmly, his voice never wavering.

"Because I am aware that you wish to emerge victorious."

"And I," he added in a low tone, "possess a secret that will grant you the means to do exactly that."

Once more, Daniel remained silent.

However, this time, his response manifested through his actions.

Behind him, the colossal army of millions of gods began to shift.

Divine power swelled and converged, creating terrifying constellations of authority and destruction.

At a single word, this uninvited guest could be wiped from existence—his body, soul, and very concept erased forever.

Facing this threat, the Mind God of Knowledge didn't falter.

Instead, he calmly revealed his final bargaining chip.

"The God Rank Skill Compendium," he declared.

"The skill ranked number one."

"Does it not pique your curiosity?"

"It is hidden within the Infinite Divine Temple. If you think I lie, you are welcome to confirm it yourself."

Daniel’s spiritual fluctuations flickered for a mere heartbeat.

In truth, out of all the divine legacies, that first-ranked God Rank Skill had always been his primary focus.

Yet, no matter how much he searched or how many deductions he performed, he had never found even a whisper of its location.

Despite his skepticism—and his confusion over how a God of Knowledge could know this—Daniel chose to investigate.

He turned his perception inward.

Within the Infinite Divine Temple, he initiated another search.

Moments later, his pupils narrowed.

He had found the truth.

The formula—the total blueprint for the ultimate God Rank Skill—had been concealed there the entire time.

It was hidden inside his very own throne.

The Mind God of Knowledge had told the truth.

Furthermore, Daniel immediately triggered Mental Deduction, forcefully analyzing and simulating the other party’s true motives.

The final result left him startled.

His only goal... was simply to earn Daniel's trust.

Daniel’s eyes grew sharp.

"What is it you want?"

The Mind God of Knowledge didn't dodge the inquiry.

"It is quite simple."

"I refuse to be fused."

"I refuse to become a mere fragment of him."

"And I refuse to lose my identity."

He exhaled deeply.

"When the final moment comes, I want to remain an independent soul."

"That is my only request."

Daniel fell into thought.

On the surface, the demand wasn't unreasonable.

In fact, it was almost humble.

But the issue was clear.

Why should he place any trust in a God of Knowledge?

Sensing Daniel’s doubt, the Mind God of Knowledge made a move that even Daniel hadn't foreseen.

He reached into his own chest.

Then, right before Daniel’s eyes, he violently tore away a piece of his own origin core.

A glowing, vibrating fragment of his essence drifted forward, coming to a stop in front of Daniel.

"This," he stated calmly, "is my Core of Existence."

"I entrust it to you."

"With but a single thought, you can destroy me utterly."

He bowed his head low.

"Let this be the down payment... for my loyalty."

Then, to Daniel’s amazement, the god dropped to one knee.

His posture was more subservient than anyone could have imagined for a God of Knowledge.

To survive, he had cast aside all pride, all dignity, and all divine hubris.

Daniel gazed at the origin core floating in the air.

He could sense it.

There was no trickery here.

Once he took possession of it, the life and death of this God of Knowledge would be entirely in his hands.

"I accept your loyalty."

Daniel reached out and gripped the core in his hand.

The contract was finished.

Meanwhile—

On the far side of the battlefield.

Knowledge Daniel had reached the conclusion of his fusion.

With the exception of the Mind God of Knowledge who had fled, every God of Knowledge across every timeline had been absorbed into him.

Their power, their authority, and their very being flowed into one vessel.

It was a strength that surpassed the Inner God realm.

It was beyond any known Cultivation level or classification.

A terrifying, unheard-of pressure blasted outward from his frame, distorting the fabric of reality.

Kartora.

Aurelia.

The other newly risen Inner Gods found it nearly impossible to stay upright against this force.

Just staying conscious required every ounce of their strength.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Knowledge Daniel roared with laughter, intoxicated by the tidal wave of power coursing through him.

He scanned the battlefield, his eyes finally locking onto Daniel.

He had seen the brief interaction between Daniel and the Mind God of Knowledge.

But at this stage—

He simply didn't care.

"The betrayal of a weakling," he remarked with disdain, "alters nothing."

"The strongest Daniel... you have my thanks."

"If you hadn't cornered humanity like this—if you hadn't made me play my final card—I wouldn't have reached this level so soon."

He threw his arms wide.

"Now, the game has reached its end."

"You—and those pathetic, laughable gods standing behind you—will be the final stones on my path to becoming the one true ruler."

"Every one of you will be annihilated."

Daniel looked up.

Even under a pressure that threatened to shatter his soul, his face remained calm.

There was no terror in his gaze.

Only grim determination.

"I wouldn't be so certain," he replied coldly.

"I am not as fragile as you believe."

He turned his back on Knowledge Daniel.

Instead, he looked upon the vast sea of light at his back.

Millions upon millions of gods.

He looked at Alice.

At Charlotte.

At Faer.

At every face, both new and old.

These were his kin.

The future of the human race.

Daniel took a deep breath.

Then, acting as the Human Emperor, he delivered his final decree.

[Human Emperor Command]

"All my human brothers and sisters!"

"Do you believe in me?"

"We believe in you!"

"Our trust in Lord Crossbridge is eternal!"

"We offer you our everything!"

Millions of gods roared back as one.

It was a tide of absolute devotion—a surge of willpower so massive that it momentarily pierced the suffocating pressure coming from Knowledge Daniel.

Daniel smiled.

Slowly, he lifted his hand.

He triggered a divine authority he had never expected to use.

[Divine Authority III — God Core]

"In the name of the Human Emperor, I command!"

"All human gods who answer my call—"

"Your souls shall serve as the core to forge the ultimate weapon!"

"Sacrifice all that you are for the sake of our future!"

"I command you—become my strength!"

As Daniel’s final word echoed—

A haunting silence fell over the battlefield.

The grin on Knowledge Daniel’s face vanished.

And then—

A fear unlike anything he had ever known gripped his heart.

Alice and Charlotte, standing right behind Daniel, were the first to shine.

Their forms began to radiate a brilliant golden light.

They looked at Daniel’s back, their faces showing no fear or regret.

There was only warmth.

And a resolve that could not be shaken.

"Lord Daniel," Alice whispered.

"To serve as your power... is our greatest honor."

Their voices drifted away.

Their bodies turned into two pillars of pure golden light, flying toward Daniel of their own free will.

Then Faer burst into laughter.

As did the other awakeners who had fought by Daniel's side.

"Hahaha! So this is the end—on the very day we became gods!"

"But still... to be part of the final stand?"

"It's worth it."

"For humanity!"

One after another, countless human gods answered without a second thought.

They cast aside their divine forms.

They threw away the immortality they had just earned.

They transformed their souls—

Their entire existence—

Into the purest God Cores.

The final weapon was beginning to manifest.
