Chapter 863: The God of Heavenly Wrath, the Nine-headed Chimera (II)
“So what if you’ve washed away its darkness element? It’s not based off darkness, but destruction! Do you understand its name, the God of Heavenly Wrath? It is the wrath of heaven, the destroyer of all realms. It exists for destruction and annihilation. According to the records of my race, Austin Griffin is the dark side of the creator god, or the creator god’s twin in other words. Once it truly awakens, there is basically nothing that can destroy it. It’s impossible for the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens to appear again. Ever since the array was destroyed, it became demon god pillars and is no longer complete. Moreover, a few of the demon god pillars have already been destroyed by Austin Griffin.”
“Long Haochen, if you really want to consider for humanity and this realm, there is only one choice you can make now, and that is to completely destroy Austin Griffin before he’s gained his final head. This is your only chance. Otherwise, once its head of destruction appears, it will turn back into the God of Heavenly Wrath and walk down the same path that Austin Griffin had once gone down in. The Shengmo Dalu will be completely destroyed. It won’t just be us demons and you humans. All the creatures, all the plants of this world, even all the stars visible to this world, will be destroyed by it in the end!”
“Haochen, don’t believe him.” Long Tianyin stood forward, “That’s just the demons trying to frighten you. It’s time for the age of darkness to end. What are you hesitating for?”
Long Haochen regained his focus from what Long Tianyin said. Although he was gradually believing Agares, he really hoped that it was all false.
The Moon Demon God Agares smiled bitterly, “I don’t plan on leaving here alive today after saying all that. Long Haochen, if you don’t believe me, you can kill all of us first, and then kill Austin Griffin. I just beg you that once I die, you can protect my organisation and my clansmen, so they can continue thriving in a place without the threat of the God of Heavenly Wrath.”
“It’s too late. It’s all too late.” The Demon God Emperor who had remained silent the entire time suddenly raised his head. In that short moment, he seemed to grow much older, while his eyes were dim as well. He drew the Devil Dragon Sword from the ground.
“Agares, can’t you tell that Austin Griffin’s already awakened? Otherwise, how was it able to break out of our Sealing Array of Sun, Moon and Star with just eight heads? That was the core array of the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens. If the God of Heavenly Wrath hadn’t awakened, we would have succeeded already. From the moment we fell down, the outcome was already decided. We can’t stop it anymore. Austin Griffin’s returned.”
Long Haochen could not help but become stunned from what the Demon God Emperor said. He subconsciously glanced at the eight-headed Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword in his hand.
With a gentle thrum from Long Haochen’s hand, the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword turned into a purplish golden streak of light, rushing into the air.
“Thank you for your welcoming speech, Demon God Emperor is it? You’re just the leader of the remaining ants from before. What a fascinating story! It really is touching. I avoided disturbing the mood the entire time, yet you just have to call me out. How bad is that? Why must you force me out so soon? I originally wanted to see how master would handle this situation.”
A cold voice appeared with a hint of wit and playfulness. The sky became filled with purplish golden light. In the next moment, the entire sky became a noble purple, but also a purple filled with an aura of destruction. A figure gradually emerged from where the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword had stopped in the air.
He had long, purple hair and wore a set of magnificent, purple robes. His slender figure was extremely beautiful, but he had a pair of grey eyes filled with a deathly stillness. What was even more shocking was that his appearance was exactly the same as Long Haochen’s.
With his hands behind his back, the purple-haired young man descended from the sky. He smiled gently, “Hello everyone. You don’t welcome me, but I’ve still come. My name is Austin Griffin. Of course, everyone is welcome to call me Haoyue as well. You all love stories so much, so why don’t I tell you one as well?”
Agares’ expression became ashen at the sight of this purple-haired young man, while the Demon God Emperor’s eyes flickered. He also seemed to have decided on something. In that moment, determination reappeared in his eyes.
Long Haochen stared at the young man who descended from the sky blankly. He murmured, “You’re Haoyue?”
Haoyue smiled. Even his smile was very similar to Long Haochen’s. His gaze towards Long Haochen was much more gentle, “Of course, my master, I am your Haoyue! Your appearance is so perfect, so I surprisingly feel very proud to look the same as you.”
Long Haochen suddenly experienced an extremely bad omen. Haoyue’s current attitude and tone was completely different from when he conversed with him in the past. It seemed like he was someone else altogether, as if his soul had been replaced. This had indirectly proven what Agares had said.
Haoyue did not care what the humans or demons were thinking. He smiled, “Don’t worry, master. No matter when, I will never harm you. Who let you become my master? You also saved my life. All of you listen to my story. From now onwards, none of you are allowed to speak, okay?”
Just as he finsihed speaking, it felt like the sky had collapsed. A terrifying pressure immediately filled everyone’s heart. Whether it was the humans or the demons, none of them were actually able to talk under this terrifying weight, just as it had said.
“I come from when the world was created. There seemed to be a huge explosion…” Haoyue recalled his memories. His voice was very similar to Long Haochen’s, except it was a little more floaty and less rooted.
“After the big band, my consciousness appeared. Similar to me, another consciousness appeared at the same time. He was much more powerful than I was. As soon as he appeared, he possessed unmatched power. He was called Creation. Back then, I was just too weak, so I could only attach myself to him and watch him create the entire world. The realms were silently split open by him one by one and he gradually granted life to these realms. There were plants and animals. The aura of life evolved and grew in each realm, allowing them to gain the aura of creation.”
“Creation told me that his proudest work was a species. The species was called humans. Although humans were not powerful, they were a race which Creation had granted a part of his power of creation, allowing these humans to create and learn. Creation said that one day, the humans would break free from the realms and bring the power of creation to places even further away.”
“But for some reason, I really hated his tone and his creation. Even though he was much more powerful than me, his powers were exhausted very quickly in order to create the realms, until he perished in the end. He left behind many things that possessed his aura and he had created countless other things as well. However, didn’t he still perish in the end? The most despicable part about him was that before he died, he actually set down a seal on my body, sealing my soul so I could never reach his level. He even said that my nature was destruction, a twin that accompanied him. He did not to destroy me, but he did not want me to destroy his creations either. How detestable. What a despicable person!”
“However, how was it possible for my powers to be completely sealed up by him? I used my own methods to turn into a creature he created, using the special characteristic of growth that the creature possessed to gradually nullify the seal on me. Finally, I succeeded in a realm. I regained the powers that belonged to me. I regained my original body. I am the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin.”
Reaching there, Haoyue’s eyes were filled with pride. However, his supreme awe made the hearts of the human powerhouses weigh heavier and heavier, when they were supposed to be celebrating over breaking out of the age of darkness. The Demon God Emperor was terrifying enough, but this God of Heavenly Wrath that claimed to have accompanied the creator god was even more terrifying! What power did they have to oppose him?
“When my ninth head awakened, I discovered the feeling of destruction again. Back then, I thought nothing could stop me. Creation was already dead. I was the ruler of the entire world. All the realms would have to grovel at my feet. Didn’t that bastard called Creation was to create? Good, then I’ll destroy all of his creations. I want to prove that I am stronger than him and more outstanding than him.”
“However, never did I think that the humans created by Creation would actually plot against me. Due to my carelessness and underestimate, I fell into the trap of those despicable humans. I was trapped by the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens. The array actually possessed a part of Creation’s power. No matter how I tried, I was unable to break free from the cage.”
“Who am I? I am the destroyer of all realms, the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin. How could I be trapped by some measly humans? Did they really think they could kill me just like this? They were dreaming. How could the God of Heavenly Wrath admit defeat to these measly humans with his pride? As a result, I used up all my power to break out of the cage. In the end, I succeeded. No matter how Creation’s power subdued me, it was just a sliver of his aura that he had left behind, not him in person. He was dead. He had died long ago. Is there anyone else that can truly stop me? So what if I died once? I could undergo rebirth and be born again. With my great powers of destruction, even if I died, I had enough power to destroy that realm, turning it into a world of destruction that had no life. And even if I was reborn into a world like that, I could still evolve again and reabsorb the power of destruction. Once my ninth head regrew, all of the powers of destruction would descend once again, and I would be able to continue my noble ambition of destroying everything Creation created.”
