Given this consensus, the information that Nemes had previously used to explore the Fate Mud naturally became the focus of attention.
All I can say is that Nemus was a born evil demon.
Without thinking at all, and without needing to think, he used thought sharing to set up a mental trap.
This influenced the Goddess of Discipline's thought process, and she herself used this to successfully steal the key piece of clay representing destiny.
The balance of power now seems to have tipped in Naim's favor.
Within the astral realm, various divine powers fluctuated and changed.
This change has also triggered an unprecedented upheaval.
There has never been such intense fluctuation of divine power in a thousand years. Even the world-destroying divine war between the Earth God and the Storm God a thousand years ago may have been more powerful in terms of its impact, but the quantity and variety of divine power surging in this time are far less than what we see now.
Countless gods unleash their divine power here.
Countless divine beings were drawn here by divine power.
Most of the divine abominations were destroyed by the aftershocks of the divine war almost as soon as they got close.
However, the divine monsters continued to surge towards this side in droves.
Divine abominations themselves do not possess reason; they are products of the chaos and deformity of the gods.
Even if some of the divine abominations were initially only somewhat chaotic and had the potential to develop into 'intelligent life', they would quickly lose their rationality and be assimilated by the divine abomination horde after being thrown into the astral plane by the gods to fend for themselves.
As a calamity theoretically on par with the Abyss and the Earth Calamity, the Divine Abominations were previously only considered to pose a significant threat to ordinary life.
Many of the golden race who explored the astral plane perished because of divine abominations.
However, when facing the gods, the divine wicked can be said to have absolutely no power.
Based on their current performance, the Divine Abominations have failed to live up to the name of the Three Great Calamities.
But things weren't calculated that way.
The reason why the Divine Abominations appear weak is entirely because the Divine Abominations are too strong.
The top-tier divine abominations can be considered the most advanced mythical species. Some weak divine powers, if their methods are not good enough, might be tricked by these divine abominations and have their divine bodies killed.
Because of their individual strength, the gods and abominations actually have significant problems with each other, making it impossible for them to truly unite.
Even if they devour each other, their power will be stuck at the boundary between mythical beings and gods.
Therefore, the Divine Abominations were stuck there. As a 'group' type of calamity, it neither possessed the ability to mobilize groups like the Will of the Abyss, nor was it like the Earth Calamity, which was inherently interconnected.
But it is different now.
The God of Storms became the breakthrough point.
He seemed to transform into a storm capable of destroying the world, and countless divine beings were drawn into the swirling wind, either willingly or unwillingly.
Then, just as the Goddess of Discipline was becoming suspicious due to her understanding, the God of Storms had already rammed into Nemus.
He no longer cared about other strategies, nor whether the Goddess of Discipline had any other strategies. The God of Storms chose the most furious divine strategy!
His violent divine power was unleashed wildly, and countless winds surrounded him, or rather, he was these countless winds.
With the surge of divine power, every inch of this area's 'space' output tens of millions, approaching hundreds of millions of values.
However, in order to maintain a storm of this size, the God of Storms expends hundreds of millions of divine power every moment.
This is an expenditure, unlike other deities who only suffer a maximum of 10% loss, with most of their divine power being quickly recovered and replenished by faith.
The Moon Goddess's divine power reserves are only a little over one billion.
There might be a few more Storm Gods, but not by much.
In this situation, it's almost certain that the God of Storms has started to use his trump cards.
Using hundreds of millions of years of divine power reserves, just to win this divine war that may only exist in a dozen or so thought processes.
The God of Storms has staked everything on this.
If he wins, he will become the God of Calamity. With the special nature of the God of Calamity, he might be able to have divine power that is no longer so scarce, just like Nemus.
If we lost, then we lost!
Chapter 915 Dead End
While Nemus was enriching the mindset of the Goddess of Discipline in every way, he was also quickly assessing the storm of the God of Storms.
The output of this storm is rapidly reaching the billion-level as a large number of divine abominations are drawn in.
And its scope is extremely wide.
In this situation, ordinary techniques are simply ineffective in breaking free from the opponent's attack.
The same numerical output can only resolve a small area of the storm, but the storm in other surrounding areas will quickly fill the gap.
This is the characteristic of the Fury pantheon in divine warfare: it doesn't focus on strategic planning or tactics, but only on ferocious damage output.
With its sheer volume and reach, it forces its opponents to frantically mobilize their resources to cope with the onslaught, thus disrupting their entire strategy.
Once the attacked deity's strategy is disrupted, it is forced into the familiar territory of the furious pantheon. Therefore, the normal deity can easily be defeated by the opponent's rich experience and mature berserker system.
It can only be said that there must be a reason why the Fury pantheon, despite its many flaws, was still able to establish a system.
"Even using time manipulation to maximize one's power can't defend against this endless attack..." Nemus made a general judgment in his mind.
The Storm God's all-out attack was not sophisticated; it only produced a lot of numerical values.
However, it is precisely because of this that this move is difficult to break.
With countless numerical values stacked up, conventional techniques and characteristics have no effect on it.
Before Nems could make any other move, a series of connections had already been established, and a series of precepts had been placed upon Nems.
Although the Goddess of Discipline is currently having her cognition constantly disrupted by Nemus, at this moment, she still displays the power and courage of a mighty god.
He directly used that piece of 'cause and effect' destiny clay, and then, in conjunction with his own precepts, forcibly restricted Nemus.
Stuck in thought, dulled in spirit, decaying in body, and confused in divinity...
Such negative attributes weighed down on Nemus and the Goddess of Discipline in an instant.
If the Storm God is an attack based on numerical values, then the Discipline Goddess is the ultimate strike based on special characteristics.
Under the guise of discipline, all related negative traits come together.
These characteristics reveal the essence of the Goddess of Discipline at this moment.
Every negative trait is essentially a change in discipline that leads to the acquisition of other rules.
Features are the manifested fragments of rules.
If we really look into it, the rule that "gods cannot descend into the material plane" is actually a characteristic that fate originally bestowed upon the material plane through the Destiny Tablet.
It's just that this feature is too perfect and too powerful.
The Goddess of Discipline is now doing just that, forcibly connecting things with cause and effect, using the concept of discipline to induce change from immutability, pulling together various rules, and then forming various negative characteristics, forcibly binding Nemus.
The goddess of discipline imposed her own negative traits on Nemus as a price, thus establishing her 'rules'.
Within these rules, Nemus's ability to resist was rapidly weakened.
One of the most important precepts directly points to Nemus's life-saving technique—hiding in the True Spirit.
"The limitation on the number of divine attributes!" Under this commandment, Nemus cannot transfer his own number, especially the number of divine attributes, which has an extremely large 'weight'.
Even though Nemus is an ancient god, divinity is no longer the most important thing.
But that doesn't mean that losing Nemus's divine status is without consequences.
The Goddess of Discipline examined Nemus's cognitive memories and confirmed that the ancient gods could indeed relinquish their divinity without losing their divine power and divinity.
But that requires a long period of preparation. Only by completely abdicating and separating the divine number from oneself can one avoid damaging one's own status due to the excessively close combination of numbers.
In the current situation, if Nemus loses his divine status, although he won't become a god or saint, his situation won't be much better.
In such a fierce battle, such injuries would inevitably be fatal.
The dead end has arrived.
In response to this situation, the Sun God intervened from afar, attempting to completely seal Nemus's deadlock!
A sun rises in the astral plane, and under its intense sunlight, even the astral plane seems to possess 'spacetime' at this moment.
Time and space are given by sunlight.
At the same time, under the sunlight, all secrets seem to have nowhere to hide.
The divine power that Nemus mobilized, his actions as a creature of rules operating within the rules, and even the sparks of light hidden within his true spirit were all illuminated by the sunlight at this moment.
This means that whatever Nemus does or makes at this moment will be observed by all the surrounding gods.
Most importantly, the sun god still felt this was not enough.
The surging deflection force was activated at this moment.
Strands of light pierced into Nemus's divine body like nails.
As a being governed by the rules, Nems felt his range of movement instantly restricted.
It was at this moment that the trump card that the Sun God had always hidden beneath 'normal' was partially revealed by his own hands.
Within the surging rules of the 'Sun,' everything belonging to the Sun provides him with power.
That feeling was almost the same as Naim's.
The God of the Sun had actually become an ancient god long ago!
Unlike Nemus's ascension to the position of the Ancient God of Change, which made it known to almost everyone in the world who was aware of change.
The sun god ascended to the position of the ancient sun god with almost no extra movement.
Even until he himself took the initiative to uncover it, no one had ever thought of it in this way.
But upon closer reflection, it seems 'normal'.
As the most powerful god, the sun god possesses the greatest advantage in deflection force.
This advantage allows him to have some leeway in many situations.
Furthermore, the sun god is a being who pursues perfection. He wants to become the one and only god, the omniscient and omnipotent god who holds the power of creation and rules over everything.
Such beings, when they have spare capacity, cannot help but expand the boundaries of their power.
Therefore, exploring the path of the ancient gods and quietly traversing it is actually a very normal thing.
What's unusual is that he accomplished all of this quietly.
Because he had already become an ancient god, he was able to strike at Nemus's weak point at this moment.
As ancient gods, as beings governed by rules, they all have ways to circumvent conventional limitations.
Nems, who wields the rules of change, is perfectly capable of briefly retreating within those rules.
By using this curl-up, Nemus had previously circumvented the discipline of the Goddess of Discipline, and there was a high probability that he would gain full mobility.
But the sun god intervened and completely blocked this path!
Right now, we're in a real dead end!
Chapter 916 The Abyss Forces Make Their Debut!
The Storm God led the attack, the Discipline Goddess provided control, and the Sun God blocked the last escape route.
An unsolvable deadlock was established at this moment.
In the current situation, one or two forces are no longer effective.
The gale instantly traversed the distance of thought, destroying the very structure of the astral mind.
The divine protective barrier surrounding Nemus was destroyed in an instant.
The constructed defense system, due to the restrictions imposed by the Goddess of Discipline, was internally chaotic and unable to function effectively.
In this situation, almost the next instant, a thought would trigger Nems' death!
However, at that very moment, the aura of the ancient god emanating from Nemus changed.
A broken and twisted aura emerged from his body, and a strong aura of taboo, mixed with the sins of a curse of fate, manifested.
