DEVIANT

369 Problems

Without being told, Alex knew why this method was not efficient. These god beasts each represent a deity. Alex had come across religions like that during the early days of civilization which pictures of their gods were that of beasts but as time went up man began to evolve and slowly their gods began to evolve.

The so-called evolution Alex had always assumed happens turned out to be wrong. It’s not that religion evolved, it’s just that the Gods changed…

Xiu!

Alex’s vision blurred as he saw the young lady being carried on the traditional Chinese carriage climbing the stairs leading to what looked like a palace but instead it was named Xinxiu temple.

Bam!

The vision vanished and Alex regained consciousness. He frowned deeply and touched his nose only to realize he was bleeding.

“What the hell is this?” Alex was stunned and confused.

Ding!

[Host absorbed the divinity and soul of his victims which forces him to share moments of their life with you… this is the backlash attached to such a powerful divinity]

.....

Seeing this message Alex frowned and a pale look appeared on his face as he realized he was bleeding from his ear as well. Just consuming two abilities already.

It all began with the fluffy demon. When he absorbed its energy he realized he could take more and that’s what he tried to do with Xinxiu and it worked. For him to think that he would go free without a backlash.

“For every action, there will always be a reaction…. To think I would stop paying attention to this at this point.” Alex lampooned.

He had to be honest things weren’t going his way here. As a defect, he realized he would need far more energy to fix his problem than he needed to ascend. Right now he estimated he needed times a hundred or so of it.

Why?

Absorbing the universe at that time would only bring him up to the angel realm regardless just without a defect. The power of a universe is only enough to create a weak god and the God has to grow from there.

Now he has consumed Xinxiu and the fluffy demon who may lack grace and be in the final moments of their life but they were still Angel realm beings. Even now, he was sure for the shadow tiger God to be the black flame emperor familiar, it must have been far stronger than a mere archangel-level being.

Yet after staying for so long without the power of grace it had fallen to the archangel level and strangely, Alex felt like if they came a bit later, like a month from now

It would have dropped to the angel realm.

Regardless it still had the archangel-level worth of grace stored in it, which is far more than a universe can contain, yet even made a change on his body.

Even that couldn’t fix the defect, neither did it show any serious progress it was like dropping a drop of water in an ocean, almost negligible.

“How many do I have to kill” Alex muttered with a deep frown.

Can it even be fixed?

Alex couldn’t help but have his doubts. His eyes seemed calm but his mind and heart were in turmoil. Never has he been put in such a situation like this, it was even worse than when the world turned on him in the mortal realm.

This also meant that since he didn’t have followers who will pray to him as a god, he too is constantly losing divinity as well. He doesn’t only have to worry about his defect but also stops himself from vanishing.

He will be forced to keep fighting and consuming for the rest of his life

Or for how long he can last.

He hopes that he would be able to keep fighting with the defect. His high pain tolerance is the only reason he has lasted this long but everything has a limit to how much longer can he keep doing this or is it until he breaks?

Huff! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ (f)ir(e).net

Alex exhaled deeply as he looked towards the sunken part of the earth in the distance, located at the center of the forest. If he didn’t climb this mountain he wouldn’t have seen it.

Even a mere lower-tier territory contains so many powerful beasts around them.

But again, if these territories exist, doesn’t that mean these God beasts should have access to other sources of fate power?

But why are they still on the decline?

Unless…. Alex’s eyes chilled as he considered the possibility and killing intent surged in his eyes but for only a brief moment before he stopped.

He looked towards the distance and sighed. He already knew the answer as soon as he asked the question.

These territories have grown to the extent that they believe they don’t need Gods. Like before the God beasts have refused to do anything to force the inhabitants of these territories to pray to them. It was only a matter before history repeats itself.

If care is not taken, a new god will appear in that territory and the same thing will repeat itself. God will be forced to starve like them or just seize to exist and die off.

Knowing how selfish people can be, it’s very unlikely they would let themselves die. Even he wouldn’t want to fade away.

The line between good and evil is non-existent…. If I were to take control of that Territory, I will definitely try to force them to pray to me…. I may end up doing the same as the old gods here…. But then again I’m doing it to save those I love. There is no good or evil, it’s all about perspective.

Alex said in his mind.

He looked into the distance and soon noticed movements within the forest. It seemed like they were all heading toward this mountain.

“In the end, only strength matters,” Alex said with a cold look on his face.
