Chapter 969, The Road to Godhood
In fact, as the master of a branch of the Wolf Pack, one of the large factions among the traitors, and the commander of an entire disaster fleet, Zakaria's status in the entire Chaos faction is actually quite high.
Otherwise, Bassol would not have chosen Zakaria as one of his most important collaborators.
However, even so, Zakaria actually didn't know what Bassol wanted to do with those "relics".
He didn't even know what the relic was.
It didn't really matter. He just needed to know that Bassol was going to become a god, and these 'relics' were the key to his godhood.
But Gu Hang is different.
When he got the information from Zakaria, the high-ranking prisoner, and combined it with the research results of the relic he seized, Gu Hang had a better understanding and speculation about Bassol's plan.
If the remains of this former Four Evil Gods-level being were pieced together and then collected together with immense magical power, it would surely be an extraordinary artifact.
For Bassol, an evil god of the warp who was only one step away from becoming one of the Four Gods, mastering this artifact might really help him take that crucial step.
It’s a pity that it’s impossible to know how far Bassol has progressed just from Zakaria’s mouth.
But Gu Hang felt that he had to prepare for the worst-case scenario for Bassol.
Now, with the help of the Chaos Traitor Army and the power of Chaos Warmaster Archathon, he is collecting fragments of the "legacy" throughout the universe. It can be said to be a grand event.
Even though Gu Hang just knew what he was going to do and where the key points of the "relics" he was going to collect were, the four evil gods, as the masters of the subspace, would surely know more.
Even the emperor should know it better than Gu Hang.
The main reason is that Gu Hang is too "young".
He had been in this universe for over a hundred years. By the standards of ordinary mortals, this was already an aspirational age, but for the powerful and powerful who could undergo life-extending surgery, anything under a hundred and fifty was considered young. Not to mention compared to the eternally enduring evil gods, Gu Hang was merely a newborn infant.
No matter how strong the 'baby' is, there are many things that he cannot know that require a long period of experience.
Would these powerful people be willing to see a new evil god appear in the subspace?
The bad relationships between the four gods and between the four gods and humans clearly reveal that they must be unwilling to see a new existence that is equal to themselves appear.
Bassol himself certainly understood this.
He now dares to brazenly push forward his plan. In Gu Hang's view, there are three possibilities:
Or, he had already made full preparations so that he didn't have to worry about the Four Gods or the Emperor intervening.
Or, he has no choice but to do it, and things have reached a point where they have to move forward rapidly.
Or, he is no longer surrounded by enemies, and he has strong support behind him, allowing him to come out without worry.
The three factors are not contradictory and it is entirely possible that they all exist at the same time.
This is also what Gu Hang is most worried about.
Imagine Bassol has already made every possible preparation for godhood, lacking only the relic. He might even have already collected a significant number of relic fragments, only missing the final batch, which he couldn't gather secretly, forcing him to resort to open robbery. Furthermore, he's negotiated some kind of exchange of interests with one or more other evil gods, forming a tacit understanding and even gaining their support... The thought is terrifying.
That means Bassall is going to be very difficult to stop.
In addition to the second point, Bassol has been forced to the point where he has no choice but to become a god and can no longer survive. This means that while he is difficult to stop, he will still be very aggressive and pose a huge threat.
However, no matter what, one thing is certain: Gu Hang must find a way to stop him.
The presence of four evil gods within the subspace was already a tremendous pressure. If there were another powerful evil god filled with malice towards humanity, the situation would inevitably be even worse.
The method to stop him is now quite clear - to prevent the complete collection of the inheritance.
But there are two problems.
The first and most troublesome thing is that after studying the fragment that Gu Hang had snatched from his hands, he believed that this fragment was a very small piece compared to the complete state of the relic.
This is not a necessary fragment for a complete relic.
If it were available, it would be great. It would save time and reduce the difficulty of integrating the fragments. But if it weren't available, with Gu Hang's ability, he could easily fill in the gaps of this tiny fragment, not to mention the more powerful Bassol in the creation process.
That means that Gu Hang cannot keep this thing in his hands and rest easy as long as he can prevent the other party from getting it.
What a shame. If fragments were necessary, Gu Hang could just sit back and wait for the opponent to attack. Playing at home would obviously be easier.
Without this advantage, Gu Hang would have to find at least one necessary fragment to block Bassol's path to promotion.
This immediately leads to the second question: How to find those relics?
Before Bassol began searching for the relics, no one had noticed anything special about these lost fragments hidden across worlds. If the evil god's minions hadn't activated them in the catacombs of Papalil, even if the Alliance knew they were in the cathedral catacombs, they would have needed a lengthy, thorough search to pinpoint the specific coffin containing the relic.
They couldn't even search a single tomb, and now it's almost an impossible task to expand the search to the entire universe.
Bassol must have some way of identifying and locating the relic fragments.
And Gu Hang also needs to have this method.
The next thing he had to do was to use the fragment in his hand and its connection with other fragments to create a means of positioning.
It is easy to say but difficult to do.
This relic fragment is different from the Como fragment of the Thousand-Faced God that Gu Hang once possessed.
The Thousand-Faced God is still alive, and it is relatively easy to echo him from one of his fragments.
However, the relics left behind by this unknown existence have been broken into pieces for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and it would be extremely difficult to reconcile them with other fragments.
The Bassolvay incident had been prepared for a long time, and he certainly had the means to do it.
Gu Hang didn't know if it was too late.
