Chapter 1036, Devouring the Gods
When King Lionheart, Leon Charles, personally led the team to eliminate the three great demons who were subordinate to Bassol, the demon command system that had been able to barely maintain was even more to the point of collapse.
The resistance of the Crucible of All Things quickly collapsed.
The battle in the entire evil god's kingdom quickly turned into humanity's unilateral destruction of demons and evil creations.
Although the remaining demon units and the defense systems in the kingdom of God are still there and there are still quite a few of them, their resistance is disorganized and there is little coordination between them. They only have numbers and scale, but they will shatter at the slightest touch and be destroyed at the slightest attack.
The exquisite command art of the human army made the entire process of destruction appear very efficient. It is hard to say whether the demons are better at war or humans are better at it.
Without Bassol's primary will, and with the chaotic energy at its core suppressed, flames raged everywhere. Living units were constantly annihilated, and the forging hubs of manufacturing units were constantly destroyed. The entire Kingdom of Blasphemy was like a massive machine that had been unplugged and suffered severe physical damage, its operation slowing down, and its flames dimming.
If they continue to fight like this, victory is inevitable, but the human side thinks it is not fast enough.
It was Martins' actions that dealt a fatal blow to the Vientiane Crucible.
The Phoenix's many sub-groups cleared out the remaining demon engine armies in the vast metal wasteland, ensuring the safety of the legion's flanks and clearing obstacles for the advancement of heavy equipment.
Martins led the Champion Guards he had assembled from many chapters, the entire Phoenix Chapter, and a large number of heavy armored assault troops, and plunged into the depths of the Furnace of All Things like a sharp knife.
His target was directly aimed at those huge flesh and blood engines and twisted mechanical temples that were still beating and providing the last energy to the kingdom of God!
This temple is where Bassol's true body resides all year round.
But he is not here now.
Blood Sharks, Evil Sharks, Ghost Sharks... These three regiments are actually from the same lineage and are extremely good at rapid assaults. Under the leadership of Ewing, the commander of the Blood Sharks, they played to their strengths and paved the way for the large force.
Guarding this core area within the Central Temple were the strongest troops within the Universal Crucible. Before Bassol left, he had instructed these troops, including his 24 Grand Demon-level mana mechas, led by two Divine Master mana mechas, to remain stationed and defend this area.
However, under the constant harassment of the Shark Regiment 3, a Divine Demonic Mecha, accompanied by a group of troops, could not help but take the initiative to attack.
In fact, he did not violate the Lord God's orders.
The order was to defend the central temple. In his opinion, taking the initiative to attack and eliminate the threat on the periphery was also a form of protection.
It can't be said that he was completely wrong, but... he was indeed wrong this time.
The demon army he led was entangled by the sharks. They failed to destroy or drive away the three groups, and when they tried to withdraw when the situation became bad, they were entangled again.
Then, when the main force led by Martins arrived, they destroyed them in one fell swoop.
A not-so-strong reinforcement force emerged from the Central Temple, but after being wiped out by the human troops responsible for besieging and attacking the reinforcements, no more help came.
Then, the human army launched a decisive attack on the Central Temple.
After two days of bloody fighting, with Martins personally taking to the front lines and many Phoenix regiments paying heavy sacrifices, the Central Temple was finally conquered and then blown up.
This was almost the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The gear vault was collapsing, and key nodes on the scrap metal land were destroyed, severely damaging the Universal Furnace. The collapse of the Central Temple finally brought the entire Universal Furnace's structure to a point where it could no longer support itself.
The most direct manifestation is that the authority of the "Creator" contained in the Kingdom of God begins to become unstable, like a candle that is about to go out.
Gu Hang knew that his time had come.
But "devouring" is not simply eating, absorbing, or forcibly merging the space of the Furnace of All Things into it.
That would only pollute the Kingdom of Storm God, and might even cause Gu Hang himself to be eroded by the distorted and chaotic power of the 'Creator'.
What Gu Hang wants is the core essence of the divine power law, he doesn't want anything else.
This requires stripping away the chaotic attributes of the Crucible of All Things and integrating it into the framework of one's own kingdom of God.
Gu Hang needs a tool.
And this tool is also ready-made - Bassol in his kingdom of God.
It was no longer enough to just restrain and suppress it. Gu Hang raised his hands high, gathered strength for a moment, and then pressed down suddenly.
Suddenly, thousands of thunderbolts, like a forest and falling rain, bombarded Bassol's body densely.
The evil god had no ability to resist, and his powerful body was blown apart.
Blood and engine oil mixed together and flowed out from the cracks in the body; carbonized flesh and blood and the collapsed steel mecha were dissociated together.
All the things that fell off from Bassol's body were collected by Gu Hang.
These things were decomposed, wrapped, and then analyzed in the lightning.
Bassol was trying his best to resist Gu Hang's thunder and didn't have time to pay attention at first. But when he noticed what Gu Hang was doing, he was terrified!
Gu Hang is analyzing the origin of the Universal Furnace!
And, success will come soon!
Gu Hang had no intention of hiding this fact.
The results of all his analysis formed a small point of light.
This is the tool Gu Hang wants.
This point of light continuously receives the "creative" ideas full of order, logic and practicality generated by countless engineers, scientists, artists and craftsmen in the real universe, within the human empire and alliance, in the process of creating inventions and building the world.
These ideas, combined with the energy of the Storm Kingdom, formed a highly ordered 'template'.
The core of the Storm Kingdom was temporarily transformed into a massive "Storm Furnace." This furnace was fueled by Gu Hang's divine power and the faith of trillions of humans. It used his own, usable "concept of creation" as a mold, and the remains of the Universal Furnace, which had been destroyed and disintegrated by the Legion of Reality, as its material...
The forging begins.
The Universal Furnace, which had been destroyed and disintegrated by the army of reality and had declined to the extreme, was forcibly absorbed by Gu Hang into his furnace of storms piece by piece, like ore thrown into a furnace.
Inside the furnace, divine thunder crazily struck, purified, and burned the debris.
The brand of evil, the frenzy of chaos, the desecration of flesh and blood, the rust of metal... all the contaminated marks belonging to Bassol were forcibly stripped off and burned in the thunder and fire!
The stripped-out, purest origin, under the guidance of Gu Hang, under the high pressure and shaping of the storm god's power, was given a new form according to his "creation" template!
This is the authority of "creation" based on the laws of real matter and serving the development of order and rationality!
The Kingdom of Storms did not devour the space of the Crucible of All Things in terms of physical volume, so it has little meaning in terms of the concept of subspace.
Gu Hang reconstructed the core divine origin.
And at the moment of his success, the concept of the divine kingdom, the Crucible of All Things, completely collapsed and was annihilated in the turbulence of the subspace.
…
Imprisoned in the Kingdom of Storm God, having lost contact with his original body and unable to do anything but watch his kingdom being devoured, Bassol's original body let out a final scream filled with endless resentment and despair.
"No--!!!"
Having lost the support of the origin of the kingdom of God, and with Gu Hang having completed the deprivation of the authority of creation, how can he continue to maintain his divine body?
The chaotic energy that constituted him lost the support of the internal laws. In the environment of the Storm God Kingdom, it quickly decomposed, dissipated, and annihilated like dewdrops in the sun.
The evil god, who had only been injured after countless bombardments and blows, and whose body's ability to withstand blows seemed extremely strong, suddenly disappeared at this moment, without leaving any trace.
The lesser evil god of the Warp, "the Creator" Bassol, has fallen completely!
After experiencing a great war and a baptism of "melting", the Storm God Kingdom appears to be even more brilliant and stable.
The territory of the Kingdom of God does not seem to have expanded, but its internal rules are more perfect, and the flow of energy is more sophisticated and efficient.
In particular, the authority of "creation" integrated into it is like injecting a new and vital source of power into the Kingdom of God.
Gu Hang stood on the top of the lightning, feeling the unprecedented power surging in his body.
He slowly raised his hand, and electric light danced on his fingertips.
"Creator..." Gu Hang whispered, his golden eyes shimmering with the glimmer of thunder and creation. He could clearly sense a deeper understanding of matter and energy, a sense of power emerging to shape and construct according to his will.
This is not the twisted, chaotic creation of Bassol, but the power of "creation" that serves his will.
However, with this powerful new authority came new perceptions.
And the burden.
He seemed to hear the whispers of countless creations in the real universe, to sense the rhythm of creation contained in the movement of stars, the clashing of machines, and the pulse of life. This vast stream of information threatened to overwhelm his consciousness. At the same time, the absolute rationality of "God" and his cold analysis of the structure of matter seemed clearer than ever.
The light of the Storm God Kingdom became even more dazzling, like a newborn star, shining firmly in the chaotic warp.
