Chapter 639 - 635: Destruction
Right before Chaos disappeared, he didn't forget to wish luck to the High Gods.
Most of the High Gods didn't mind those words except for one of them, who was frowning as he wondered why that guy would wish them luck.
Unfortunately, he soon realized the answer as he noticed a dark sphere appear where Chaos was standing before.
"Oh sh*t! It's the Dark Sphere! Seal it right now!" One of the High Gods yelled, noticing the dark sphere that was filled with immense energy.
Moreover, the sphere was only getting bigger and bigger with each passing moment.
Seeing the sphere appear, all the High Gods stepped up and raised their hands as they started using their powers to the fullest to create a barrier around the dark Sphere.
The Dark Sphere was made from Dark Energy that Chaos already possessed, but its creation was further boosted with the help of the Dark Fragment of the Bracelet that Chaos had collected.
Dark threads inside the sphere twisted and turned in itself, getting more and more unstable with each passing second.
A blue energy barrier appeared around the dark sphere, cast by one of the High Gods, but that's not where it ended. A red energy barrier appeared on top of it, closing the blue barrier. It was cast by another High God.
Soon, a third barrier appeared on top of the last two Barriers, enclosing the previous two. The third barrier seemed to be of green color.
The fourth barrier also appeared, which was yellow in color, even bigger.
The Dark Sphere inside the barriers was getting darker. It also kept expanding as it was finding it hard to contain all the energy inside it.
At the same time, the fifth barrier also appeared on top.
All the High Gods were focused on keeping the sphere in control since they knew what it could do.
"Don't lose focus! And brace yourself!" One of the High Gods said. "It is going to blow up soon! If the barriers break, the entire High God Palace will be destroyed! We can't let that happen."
"Yeah. But with five barriers, we should be able to stop him. I mean, we also did it before. Chaos should have known that he couldn't hurt us with that. Could it be that he's trying to delay us so he could get a lead?"
Even though the High Gods knew how serious this thing was, they also knew that this wasn't something that they couldn't stop with their combined powers.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned as the dark sphere kept getting bigger, soon breaking the first Barrier.
"What? How could it back that so easily?"
Seeing the first Barrier break so soon surprised the High Gods, but they soon sighed a breath of relief as they saw the dark energy sphere stop expanding.
"Is it finally stabilizing?"
"It's not! Brace yourself! It's going to blow up no-"
Boom~
The dark sphere blew up even before the High God could finish his sentence.
A massive wave of energy was released, which moved in all directions like a Tsunami.
...
Boom~
The sound of explosion filled the entire God Realm, making everyone look in the direction of the High Palace, which floated far away. Even though the High Palace was very far, the gods were able to see it.
They also knew that it was where the sound came from.
"What's that?"
"A cloud of fire? What happened to the Palace? Why is it covered in clouds of flames?"
"Is the palace attacked? It was certainly an explosion!"
"It seems that way, but who would dare to attack the High God Palace!" One of the Gods asked, stunned.
"I'm not sure. Maybe we're thinking wrong. Maybe no one attacked, and it's just the High Gods practicing their powers?"
Many people had many theories as they saw the destruction in the sky. The High Duke Palace had disappeared and all that was left in its place was a cloud of fire.
The pieces of the Palace started dropping to the ground, still caught in the fire.
At the same time, five specks of lights could be seen flying towards the South.
As the five specks of lights flew closer, the gods realized that they weren't dots, but they were High Gods who were using a healing spell on them.
All five high Gods dropped to the ground in the middle of Heavenly City.
The mighty High Gods that were once highly respected were now lying on the ground weakly. Their clothes were torn in places while their wounds were visible to the naked eye. Some of them were even bleeding, which was something never seen before.
Their wounds had started healing slowly, but as it was a wound caused by a powerful attack from another mighty God, the wounds were healing slowly.
"High Gods, are you alright?" A group of gods closed in on the High Gods, asking them if they needed help.
One of these Gods was the God of War, while the other was the Goddess of Water.
Soon, the Goddess of Destiny and the God of Flames also reached there.
"What happened?" The goddess of Destiny asked.
"Chaos... He approached us and attacked us before running away. That bastard even destroyed the High Palace!" One of the High Gods replied as he stood up.
"Cough! I can't understand why he's alive." Another High God said, coughing out a mouthful of blood.
"You don't look shocked to hear this," A third High God asked, noticing the expression of the other gods who didn't look surprised like he expected them to be.
"Don't tell me you knew about it?" The Fourth High God asked.
"W-we knew about it." The Goddess of Water replied before she started explaining about how they found out about this.
"You! You knew about his return, and you didn't think it was important enough to tell us! Preposterous!" The Fifth High God stood up, enraged.
"We were about to tell you, but we wanted to tell the other gods first since they were truly weak. Moreover, we didn't expect that Chaos would be brazen enough to attack the High God Palace with the five of you being there," The Goddess of Destiny explained.
"I don't understand. Why would he attack the High Duke Palace directly? We thought he was weak at the moment," the God of Flames asked. "But from what he did just now, it doesn't seem like he's weak at all."
"Weak? On the contrary.. I would say that he's even more powerful than the last time we met him!" The first High God explained.
