Neither side possesses the characteristic of being "immortal," which means that they can kill each other.
Kill the opponent and you win!
Each power interacts with the others, and all sorts of inexplicable emotions are generated by the powers associated with them, then brutally crammed into their respective streams of consciousness.
At this moment, Matou Ike even witnessed the repeated deaths of "Ōki no Takami".
This is "fallen," belonging to the part of the demon who was a fallen angel.
"Why the constant resurrection? Why refuse to sleep even in death? You are already dead, you need to die..."
The filthy sound came from the depths of Matou Ike's heart, like an invisible force pulling him downwards.
His face began to twitch, yet it was tinged with a sense of peace.
“The Great Demon God is indeed dead, he certainly needed to die... but I am not Him, I am just a person who wants to live an ordinary life.”
Matouchi replied calmly.
Then——
Under the astonished expression of the still-unknown demon.
He directly relinquished all control over the present moment, including all the powers he could wield.
He cut off that part.
The Starry Realm, having lost its power, collapsed at this moment.
"God. Matouchi" has awakened.
But instead of going crazy as before, He calmly and steadily walked on the void to Matou Ike's side.
"Your plan is too complicated. The two of us can achieve the same goal by simply killing Him."
"That would be too risky, too unpredictable, and too uncontrollable."
Amidst the exchange of words, "God. Matouchi" also took the same action as Matouchi, severing all ties with authority.
Then, the demon looked at the two of them with some distress and scratched his head.
As if accepting their fate, they connect themselves to power in the same way.
The connection has been lost.
Chapter 395 Eating 4k
The demon was somewhat troubled; He had already figured out what the creature before Him was plotting.
In fact, the matter is already clear without much thought.
Inside the giant serpent, which serves as the "alchemy furnace," three consciousnesses fight each other within an ordered framework, while three powers merge together in a state of disorder.
These two seemingly disparate levels are inseparable because of the existence of God.
God’s consciousness and power are two sides of the same coin; they are both opposed and unified, both separate and closely connected.
Thus, even on the battlefield of consciousness, gods can mobilize their powers to fight—even if these powers are in the midst of a vortex of fusion.
To understand Matouchi's actions, one must first grasp a key concept:
Order and disorder are inherently mutually exclusive.
On the inside of the giant serpent, the act of exercising power is actually equivalent to using external force to reverse the natural repulsion between the two, forcibly bringing the two repulsive things together.
More importantly, this repulsive force is not simply the repulsion of like magnetic poles.
The repulsive force between the two will gradually accumulate and will continue to increase as the power is used for longer periods and to a greater extent.
This is why the demons and the God of Nightfall both considered "God. Matouchi" to be a madman.
It wasn't just the madness He outwardly displayed, but more so the way He recklessly used His power in the battle of consciousness.
He was completely oblivious to the growing repulsive force between Him and His own power.
According to the rules governing the inner workings of the giant snake at this moment.
In the battle of consciousness, there is absolutely no need to use powers to intervene.
It only requires a comparison of the scale of the divine personality or consciousness and each party's understanding of the divine personality.
The actions of "God. Matouchi" forcibly dragged the original God of Night Calamity and the demons into the abyss.
In order to resist "God. Matouchi", they also had to communicate with the powers that were in the process of merging.
In this way, the repulsive force between them and their own power began to gradually accumulate.
However, when the degree of repulsive force reaches a critical point...
"Bottoming out and rebounding"
The powers belonging to the gods will be directly freed from their control.
It's like the two ends of a compressed spring, one end being divinity or consciousness, and the other end being power.
This is something that cannot be changed or resisted.
Because the three deities who form the basis of the "Great Serpent" are now essentially part of the Great Serpent, they must also act within this pre-defined framework.
Moreover, when the situation evolves to this point, the inner state of the giant snake will develop from the intermediate state towards the two extremes of disorder and order, and its original balance will be disrupted.
Thus, we arrive at the state of "consciousness belongs to consciousness, and power belongs to power."
And at this moment, Elgo, who has already awakened a divine being within his body, is acting as a "reaction reagent" inside the giant serpent.
This will further tear open the cracks.
Right now, Matouchi and "God. Matouchi" are releasing their fingers that were pressing on the other side of the "spring".
The "repulsive force" that originally required three deities to resist was now entirely applied to the demon god.
So whether He continues to persist or whatever else He does.
They all cannot escape the fate of being separated from their own power.
He simply relinquished this power to ensure that his divine status would not suffer additional damage under the influence of the repulsive force.
"When exactly did you all conspire together?" the demon asked calmly, his tone devoid of any anger or resentment, as if he were merely curious about a fact that was destined to remain unchanged.
“Perhaps it was from the very beginning.” Matou Ike, who had transformed into the God of Night Calamity, smiled slightly. As he finished speaking, his figure began to change. His disguised shell dissipated like scales falling off, restoring him to his original appearance.
The demon's gaze lingered on him for a moment, then shifted slightly to look at another identical-looking "God. Matou Ike" beside him.
“I see.” He chuckled softly, his tone tinged with sarcasm and complex emotion. “That’s truly laughable—you, a mere human, have actually merged with that madman Baal (another name for Beelzebub), and you’re the one in control? A mere human?”
Matou Ike simply shrugged indifferently, neither denying nor saying anything more. At this moment, he knew that a verbal victory was meaningless; the situation had completely tilted, and the victor needed no further words.
In a contest of consciousness, the demon was utterly powerless against his combined forces with "God Matouchi".
There is no doubt about this; in fact, it could be said that the opponent was destined to fail from the very beginning.
Moreover, Matouike's bargaining chips are not limited to this.
He inherited a portion of the knowledge from Beelzebub, which was about the mysteries of the evil god Cthulhu, an heretical being with the terrifying power to "influence consciousness."
However, there are always some people or gods who are born with an inescapable habit of self-expression at crucial moments.
Waiting seemed to be a torment for them, and they had to fill the void with words, and demons clearly belonged to this category.
He seemed to possess an innate talent for provocation, and the target of this provocation was very clear—
The half of Matouchi's body, the part that is Beelzebub, is also known as "God Matouchi".
"How amusing." The demon's voice came from the void, echoing all around, carrying a sharp mockery and an indescribable contempt.
His tone was as if he were chewing on some ridiculous fact, and every word was chilling.
"Didn't you swear back then that you would launch a counterattack against Heaven, crush that old guy under your feet, and avenge Morning Star? How come you've been reduced to being an avatar of a mortal now?"
He didn't care at all what consequences his words would have, he just kept talking.
"Let me take a good look at you. The former master of heaven, king of demons, prime minister of hell, now you don't even have a body of your own. How did you manage to live like this? You're a disgrace to us demons."
Although the words were provocative, each sentence carried an undeniable instigating meaning, as if each word was a poisonous seed attempting to take root and sprout in people's hearts or in divinity.
That kind of demonic quality seems to be born to tempt, making one think of the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible... and that serpent.
That serpent led humanity to taste the forbidden fruit for the first time, tearing a rift in the immortal paradise and thus triggering the awakening of sin and knowledge.
So what is the true form of this demon...?
Perhaps then things will become clearer.
Samael.
An incarnation of a snake.
He has a dual identity as both an angel and a demon.
Wrath is one of the seven deadly sins.
It represents temptation, destruction, and death.
This also aligns with the abilities He has demonstrated so far.
Matou Ike silently closed her eyes, trying to avoid seeing or worrying about it.
Because he was waiting, waiting for the separated powers to merge completely.
At the same time, preparations are being made for the final outcome.
However, "God Matou Ike," who was facing the "foul mouth," could hardly tolerate the negative energy that this familiar guy was pouring out of his mouth.
But then He felt "relieved":
“Samael, you are exactly the same as you were in the past, almost unchanged, and I’m glad.”
He wore a look of satisfaction, as if reminiscing about the past.
The "fallen angel" Samael shut his mouth and stared intently at Him, as if assessing the truth of the words.
"Are you serious?"
His gaze fell elsewhere, his eyes dimming slightly.
"Of course... you're still as noisy and annoying as ever."
