Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 447



The raw material of the explosion was Sui Xiong, a master who was almost a great Divine Power. What was more, he spared no effort in this, and his whole body had been completely detonated.

The explosion was unimaginably powerful. At first, the dazzling lights made the gods on the scene see nothing but a white flash. The light released a lot of heat, and things around it had been burned hot, and those not solid enough had been burned to ashes or even gas. Then, there followed a blast shock wave. It was like countless sharp knives fell down with a roar to cut everything into pieces; it was also like countless sledgehammers hitting everywhere while they were constantly colliding with each other. At last, there was a horribly loud sound. Hearing that, everyone was extremely scared, and at least half of the gods in the Pantheon temple that had been watching the war were stunned for a long time.

The explosion had an even bigger impact on those on the battlefield.

All the Oracles nearby were blasted to pieces, and the gods were in a complete mess. Even the two great Divine Powers, the God of War and the God of Justice, also suffered great damage.

However, there was something funny. The evil gods were standing between Sui Xiong and his friends when the explosion happened, so they acted as the explosion-proof wall for Sui Xiong’s friends and were tragically damaged by the blast. The evil gods of weak Divine Power were almost blasted away by the shock wave, and they didn’t need to be rescued at all; those low-level Divine Powers exploded into the sky, and some of them collapsed during that and died immediately. Those mid-level Divine Powers were not killed, but they were all badly injured. Only those great Divine Powers were safe from the explosion—not because they were extremely powerful, but because they noticed that the God of Justice suddenly shared his Divine Power to protect his allies. So they directly moved the Dragon Warship behind them to ward off the impact of the explosion.

However, the God of War was also blasted into the sky, or to put it more exactly, he was hit by the Dragon Warship into the sky. As for the most important divine weapon of the War God System, the Dragon Warship, it was directly blown up into pieces. Its solid body had broken into over thousands of pieces in different sizes, and only the most solid part, the ram of the warship, remained completely in shape. The ram had been engraved into the look of a dragon head, and the God of War was hit by the ram just now.

But thanks to the ram, it shielded the War God System from the explosion. Thus, the War God System suffered much less damage than the evil gods and the Fear God System. Although they were also badly injured, there were at least no casualties in the War God System.

Compared with that, the Alliance of Evil Gods almost came to an end, and the Fear God System was not much better than that. The explosion also had a bad impact on the gods in the Pantheon temple—starting from the God of Fear, over half of the gods in the Alliance of Evil Gods directly died, leaving dozens of seats empty in the Pantheon temple. Moreover, many gods were so badly hurt that they fell to a lower level of power, and among them, the most obvious one was the God of Fear.

At the moment of the explosion, the Message-Sending Clone of the God of Fear collapsed with a loud cry, and then countless cracks showed on its seat. With a flashing light, this clone fell several levels down to the mid-level Divine Power from the level of a great Divine Power.

The gods in the Pantheon temple were all shocked at that, and even the God of Light, who had been indifferent and always had no expression on his face, opened his eyes widely as if he had seen a ghost.

“What’s wrong with the Void Mask? Why did he suddenly detonate himself?”

“That was really powerful!”

“Was that the horrible strength of a great Divine Power?”

“The God of Fear is over this time...”

“He deserves it!”

“Well, since so many gods died this time, they left many clergies empty...”

“So are their God’s Kingdoms!”

At the mention of that, many gods had tricky smiles on their face. A lot of gods died this time, and almost every one of them left an unprotected God’s Kingdom for others to inherit. Even if the gods had to follow the rule to allow the Void Mask and his friends to choose first, they could also benefit a lot from it!

Last time, a lot of gods had gained plenty of Divine Power from the death of the God of Underground Caves and Sites, Cladema. This time, although the dead gods were not in high clergies, they were large in number. Thus, they could provide more Divine Power in total than Cladema!

However, before that, they had to confirm one thing—was the Void Mask still alive? If he was dead, how were his friends?

If his friends were also badly hurt, then they wouldn’t have the chance to choose first because the other gods might take advantage of their injury to attack them to get more benefits.

Unluckily for them, Sui Xiong’s friends were in good condition now.

Sui Xiong had warned them before his self-detonation, so they had defended themselves very well. With the protection of the “explosion-proof wall” provided by the evil gods and the rescue of the God of Justice, they looked embarrassing with their heads full of ashes, but they were not badly damaged.

Sui Xiong’s Sanctuary was the only place that had been safe under the impact of the explosion. The Sanctuary shared the same power as the explosion, thus, the blast shock wave did no harm to this God’s Kingdom. Instead, it helped strengthen the boundary of the God’s Kingdom, just like Sui Xiong did with his Divine Power.

The only influence on the Sanctuary was that it was pulled to move a long distance by the strong impact power of the explosion, and that was all.

“Fall back! Back! To the God’s Kingdom!” The God of Justice, Yorgaardman, didn’t wait for the results of the explosion. He was shouting while leading Sui Xiong’s friends to withdraw in a hurry to the God’s Kingdom.

That made the gods in the Pantheon temple very confused—Shouldn’t Sui Xiong’s friends chase after the God of Fear and the God of War, the invaders, and beat them heavily since Sui Xiong had won the fight?

If not now, then when? But they soon knew the reason.

The smoke gradually disappeared, and they could see that a flame was burning in the center of the explosion.

“I come from the shadows,” in the flame echoed a roaring voice like muffled thunder. “As a pacifist, I am keen on solving problems through negotiation. I think that as long as the cake is bigger, everyone can share the benefits, and that can solve all the problems. I thought that was a good idea, but it is meaningless.” That voice was silent for a moment, and then the flames swelled violently into the figure of a giant, whose eyes looked like erupting volcanoes. This giant was staring at the evil gods that were still in shock after the explosion.

The giant of the flames opened his palm, and in it was the God of Fear who was struggling to build a shield with his Divine Power. His face was pale, and he seemed to be near death.

“You’re looking for death!” After saying that, the body of the giant swelled again with a white light flashing on his chest. He shouted, “For a blue and clean world!”

There was an explosion, again.

This time, the Alliance of Evil Gods and the gods of the Fear God System couldn’t stand it anymore. Except for the God of Fear and several mid-level Divine Powers that managed to survive after being badly injured, all the others died immediately. The God of War was alert enough that when the giant started talking, he left those things that couldn’t be taken behind and ran away. Finally, he escaped from the explosion, alone.

After the explosion, there was nothing left in the space. It was as quiet as a graveyard.

“What was that?”

“Was that the Void Mask? Didn’t he just detonate himself? How can he do that again?”

“Does it mean that the giant is his real body?”

“But why did he do that again? He has already defeated his enemies...”

“Then is he really dead this time?”

“Who knows!”

After saying that, a lot of gods turned their eyes to the God of Justice, Yorgaardman.

They knew that if they wanted to know the condition of the Void Mask, Yorgaardman should be the best one to ask.

With so many eyes staring at him, the cheeky Yorgaardman didn’t feel panic at all. He laughed, cleared his throat and pretended to be confused. “Why are you looking at me?”

“Stop it!” Lefon sighed and asked. “How is the Void Mask? Is he really dead?”

“Of course not!” Yorgaardman laughed. “My brother has vast magic powers. In a human’s story, it is said that a cat can grow several more tails when it lives a long enough life, and every extra tail brings it one more life. My brother has so many tentacles, so how many lives do you think he has? This was just a piece of cake for him this time.”

The God of Light sneered. “What a boast!”

“I’m not boasting. I have evidence!” Yorgaardman jumped and shouted as if he had been mistaken by the others. “Although he hasn’t become a god, his followers are all here! Why don’t you go and ask them?”

The gods then remembered that the Void Mask had some followers and began to look for them in a hurry.

The God of Knowledge and Education, Wall, the God of Medicine, Arcaian Pasteur, and the God of Healing whose name was still unknown to others—these three gods were all in good condition and didn’t show any panic of losing their master god.

“His Majesty is really fine.” Wall was not as cheeky as Yorgaardman, so he stood up with a bitter smile and spoke. “He is just tired and needs to rest.”

The gods looked at each other and accepted his explanation silently. They thought that that might be a gentle way of describing Sui Xiong’s serious injuries.

It was inevitable for Sui Xiong to be injured in such a fierce fight. However, as long as he was alive and would recover in the future, he definitely would be s supreme master that even the great Divine Powers would have to treat him in a polite and equal way.

After all, Sui Xiong had proved his qualification with his power.

He had completely destroyed the Alliance of Evil Gods and almost the whole Fear God System by himself, and he killed almost 100 evil gods and beat the War God System away by the way.

That would be something impossible for even the great Divine Powers.

Moreover, the most horrible thing was his power and his determined attitude shown in the two consecutive self-detonations.

Nobody even knew how many times he could detonate himself!

“Bro, they were all scared.” Yorgaardman laughed loudly.

In the center of the Sanctuary, where the God of Healing had been nurtured before, there was one larger pool. In the bottom of the pool, the crystal that Leon had robbed from the palace of the God of Hunting and Holocaust and then given to Sui Xiong was lying there quietly.

There were lights flowing in the crystal; then a transparent figure showed up vaguely.

“I’m really exhausted this time.” Sui Xiong’s faint voice was transmitted out of the pool through the crystal and with Divine Power that had been turned into water. “But I think it’s worth it.”

“Of course!” Yorgaardman gave him a thumb-ups. “Good job!”

Yorgaardman’s eyes swept over the other gods, and he said with a smile, “What are you waiting for? Don’t you want to tell your churches and followers about such a great victory as soon as possible? It deserves a great celebration!”
