Chapter 1023: Chapter 430: Blessing

Splash…

…

A small portion of the Thunder Pool’s repair was completed, and Zeus had finally sorted out the ins and outs of this interface.

Pushing aside the Law Chains that still emanated a yearning desire, he chose not to continue imbuing the Origin, but to soar away instead.

In his perception, to truly restore the Thunder Pool to a state of perfection would likely require the filling of it with all the Origin he held in his hands.

After all, as a ‘placenta’ fabricated by the Abyss in imitation of Zeus, the difficulty of fully repairing it was no different than creating another Thunder God whose Thunder Origin would seem almost indistinguishable from his.

Of course, Zeus did not need to go to such lengths; what the Abyss Will originally cared about was not the quantity of the Thunder Origin. Yet, even so, he did not wish to restore the site in one breath to a degree that would satisfy the Demon Gods.

And so, the vast Thunder Sea roiled slightly, following the path he had taken before, the Divine King’s incarnation leapt forth.

Swift–

Breaking the surface, he looked up at the sky.

In the sky of [862-11], as the repair of the Thunder Pool was halted midway, the Abyss Will that originally descended also hovered for a few minutes before finally receding.

In the empty sky, only the Demon Prince was left, whose aura had undergone a subtle change.

On its body, the Interface Power that had already reached its limit seemed to have had its restrictions lifted, and if it so wished, it could continue to bring more layers of the Abyss under its control.

However, it was evident that such a degree of change was far from satisfying the appetite of the Demon Gods. So much so that the present being was filled not with any hint of joy, but with anger and discontent.

“Roar–!”

“–Damn it, what are you doing, Mortal Realm’s Thunder God!”

Awaking from his closed-eyed contemplation, the Demon Prince’s face was filled with shock and fury.

A moment ago he was immersed in the rapid elevation of his power’s upper limits, just waiting to conquer more planes and turn them into real power he could hold in his grasp.

But in the next moment, the favor of the Abyss Will was unceremoniously brought to an end. The whole process seemed stuck at the critical point of complete metamorphosis, leaving the Demon Gods with a fishbone in their throat.

And watching Zeus emerging from the water, he seemed to have found the culprit, reaching out again to directly apprehend the Divine King’s incarnation before him.

“Speak, Mortal Realm’s God!”

“Why did you stop? Do you not realize! Just a little more, just one more bit, and I could have become the most favored being in Tartarus, rightfully ruling over the thirty-six layers of the Abyss as the Demon Prince!”

“And as the First Prince, I would be the only possible choice for the Abyss King!”

“No.”

“This is nothing but your illusion.”

Once again being rudely seized in hand, this time Zeus appeared nonchalant.

He looked indifferently at the furious Demon God, with not a hint of panic on his face.

“I am very clear in my perception; to garner sufficient favor from the Abyss for you, the power I would need to expend is far beyond double that of just now. Your ‘a little more’ is actually much more.”

“As for the Abyss King… Excuse me for being blunt. Even if I melted myself entirely into the Thunder Pool, the favor gained would never be enough for that.”

“In fact, I highly doubt that the Abyss of today has the capability to create the so-called ‘Master of Abyss’.”

Probably not, at least that’s what Zeus believes.

For, with the repair of the Thunder Pool, he had also glimpsed the true strength of Tartarus as it is now.

If there are levels within the Great Divine Power, the other party would likely have already stood at the pinnacle of the path, ready to touch upon even grander and loftier characteristics.

This power truly exceeded Zeus’s expectation, yet even so, the Divine King did not believe that they had the ability to shape a real ‘Master of Abyss’.

“After all, whether it is Demon Gods or the ‘Demon Prince’, even that never-seen Mother of Demons is most likely the same.”

“They may receive the support of the Abyss Interface Power, with the latter two even having the prospect of obtaining power comparable to the Great Divine Power, but its essence is still derived from borrowing from Tartarus.”

“However, if the Abyss were to produce a true ruler, a Monarch capable of wielding a part of the entirety of Tartarus’s strength, then it would not be so simple.”

“At the end of the day, unless one is the incarnation of the world itself, the support of Interface Power too, has its limits.”

The existence of genuine Great Divine Power has a limit to the extent of maintaining personification, and naturally, the interface support also has a limit, which is related to the level of power of the provider.

Although the power of the Abyss is strong, it is incomparable to that of the present world.

The position of the God-King in the present world can be maintained, as it can bear almost limitless strength.

If the present world’s will were to bestow sufficient favor, Zeus has no doubt that like the First Generation God King, he could wholly acquire power even greater than the Abyss of today.
