Chapter 1024: Chapter 430: Blessing_2

Of course, Zeus did not need to go that far, as the Abyss Will wasn’t particularly concerned with the amount of the Thunder Origin. Even so, he had no wish to restore this place to an extent that would satisfy the Demon Gods in one go.

The vast Thunder Sea slightly stirred, following the road he had taken before, and the Divine King’s avatar leaped out.

Whoosh–

Emerging from the water’s surface, he lifted his head to look at the sky.

In the sky of zone [862-11], as the restoration of the Thunder Pool stopped midway, the Abyss Will that had initially descended hesitated for a while before ultimately withdrawing.

In the empty sky, only the Demon Prince, whose aura had undergone some changes, was left behind.

On its body, the enhancement from the Abyss Interface, which had already reached its limits, seemed to have its constraints lifted. Should it desire, it could continue to bring more layers of the Abyss under its control.

However, it was quite obvious that such a change was far from satisfying the appetite of the Demon Gods. As a result, the Demon Prince was far from elated at this very moment, filled instead with anger and resentment.

“Roar–!”

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

Shocked awake from his meditation, the Demon Prince’s face was full of astonishment and fury.

Just a moment ago, he was immersed in the rapid increase of his power’s upper limit, ready to conquer more layers and turn it into tangible strength in his grasp.

But in the next instant, the favor of the Abyss Will was mercilessly cut off. The whole process was like being stuck at the critical point of complete transformation, which was exceedingly frustrating for the Demon Gods.

And watching Zeus who had just emerged from the water, as if finding the main culprit, it reached out again, directly seizing the avatar of the Divine King in front of its eyes.

“Speak, God of the Mortal Realm!”

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

“As the first prince, I would be the only possible choice for the Abyss King!”

“No.”

“That’s merely your illusion.”

Again being rudely grasped in its hand, this time Zeus appeared completely unruffled.

He calmly looked at the furious Demon God, his demeanor showing not the slightest hint of panic.

“I am clearly aware, to charm the Abyss into bestowing you with sufficient favor, the power I would need to expend is far more than double what I’ve just done. What you think of as ‘just a little more’ is actually still a lot more.”

“As for the Abyss King… Forgive my frankness. Even if you were to refine me entirely into the Thunder Pool, the favor you would receive would still not achieve that.”

“In fact, I highly doubt if the current Abyss has the ability to shape the so-called ‘Abyss King’.”

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

Because with the repair of the Thunder Pool, he had also glimpsed the true level of power of the current Tartarus.

If there were levels among Great Divine Powers, then the other party was probably already standing at the peak of this road, one step further from touching even more grand and lofty characteristics.

Such power did indeed exceed Zeus’s expectations, but despite this, the Divine King did not believe that the other party had the ability to shape a true ‘Master of the Abyss’.

“After all, be it Demon Gods or ‘Demon Princes’, or even the never-before-seen Mother of Demons, it’s probably the same for all of them.”

“They may receive the enhancement of the Abyss Interface Power, and the latter two could even hope to attain power comparable to Great Divine Power, but their essence is still borrowing from Tartarus itself.”

“But if a true master is to be born within the Abyss, one who could mobilize a part of the entire power of Tartarus, then that is probably not so simple.”

“Ultimately, unless it is an avatar of the world itself, the enhancement from Interface Power also has its limits.”

A proper Great Divine Power has limits on how much personified force it can maintain, and naturally, Interface Power enhancements would have their limits too, it’s just that their limits are related to the level of power of the one granting the enhancement.

And although the power of the Abyss is strong, compared to the current world, it is who knows how much weaker.

The position of God King of the Mortal Realm can be pursued, as the power it can carry has almost no limits.

If the will of the present world were willing to bestow enough favor, Zeus had no doubt that he could obtain strength even greater than the current Abyss, just like the First Generation Divine King did. The sound of rushing water…

…

The restoration of the Thunder Pool had been completed in part, and Zeus finally understood the ins and outs of this realm’s interface.

Pushing aside the Law Chains that were still emanating a yearning desire, he did not continue to infuse his Origin but chose to leave by flying away.

In his perception, to truly restore the Thunder Pool to a state of perfection would likely require the filling of his entire Origin.

After all, as the ‘placenta’ that the Abyss emulated from him, to fully fix it would be no different than creating another Thunder God whose Origin was almost indistinguishable from his own.

Of course, Zeus did not need to go that far. What the Abyss Will cared about was not the amount of Thunder Origin, but even so, he did not wish to entirely restore the place to a degree that would satisfy the Demon Gods in one go.

So the vast Thunder Sea stirred slightly, and following the same path he came by, the Divine King’s incarnation leaped out.

Whoosh—-

Breaking the water’s surface, he looked up at the sky.

In the sky of [862-11], with the suspension of the Thunder Pool’s restoration, the Abyss Will that had originally descended also lingered for a while before ultimately retreating.

In the empty sky, only the Demon Prince, whose aura had changed slightly, remained.

Upon its body, the limits of the Interface Power, which had already reached the extreme, seemed to have been lifted. Should it wish, it could continue to bring more layers of the Abyss under its control.

But obviously, this level of change was far from satisfying the Demon Gods’ appetite to the point that it was not slightly pleased but rather full of anger and unwillingness.

“Roar—-!”

“—-Damn it, what are you doing, Thunder God of the Mortal Realm!”

The Demon Prince awoke from its meditation with a start, its expression filled with shock and rage.

Just a moment ago, it was still immersed in the rapid increase of its power limit, ready to conquer more realms to turn them into tangible strength in its grasp.

But the next moment, the favor of the Abyss Will was unceremoniously cut off. The whole process seemed to be stuck at the threshold of complete transformation, making the Demon God uncomfortable like a bone stuck in its throat.

And seeing Zeus bursting through the water was like finding the culprit, as it reached out again to directly apprehend the incarnation of the Divine King before its eyes.

“Speak, God of the Mortal Realm!”

“Why did you stop, do you not realize! Just a bit more, just a bit more, and I could have become the most favored one in Tartarus, the Demon Prince who legitimately dominates the thirty-six layers of the Abyss!”

“And as the first Prince, I would have been the only possible choice for the Abyss King!”

“No.”

“That is merely your delusion.”

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

He looked at the angry Demon God indifferently, his expression unflustered.

“I’m quite clear on my senses, to obtain enough favor from the Abyss for you, the strength I would need to expend is far more than double what I did just now. What you think is ‘just a bit more’ is in fact still a lot more.”

“As for the Abyss King… I must say frankly. Even if you were to refine me entirely into the Thunder Pool, the favor you obtain would still not be enough to achieve that.”

“In fact, I have my doubts that the current Abyss has the ability to create the so-called ‘Abyss King’ at all.”

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

Because with the repair of the Thunder Pool, he had also glimpsed the actual strength level of Tartarus as of now.

If there were ranks among the Great Divine Powers, then the other side has probably already reached the pinnacle of their journey, one more step and they could touch upon a more magnificent and lofty essence.

Such strength indeed surpasses Zeus’s expectations. However, even so, the Divine King does not believe the other has the ability to create a true ‘Master of Abyss’.
