Chapter 457: Loom of Destiny
Guts was not alone in his quest to slay the gods.
On the contrary, over countless tens of thousands of years, many knowledgeable people have been secretly accumulating strength to resist those crazy gods.
Guts's appearance was just a trigger, a fuse.
In fact, the only things Guts is good at are killing and his almost indomitable will.
And those rebels who joined Guts' camp one after another became Guts' brains, pointing out the direction and possibilities for him to move forward.
Especially after Guts killed all the gods, how to rebuild a new order became the first and foremost problem.
"I will become a god in place of the gods!"
"If I also become one of those crazy gods, then point your swords at me!"
Holding high the giant sword that was already stained with divine blood, Guts chose to become a god without regret or hesitation.
"I will leave my heart in the mortal world. It will become my most fatal weakness!"
After saying this, Guts flew forward to the heaven without hesitation, leaving behind only a bright red beating heart.
The heaven is the source of power for the gods, and also the place where the indescribable shadow resides.
Perhaps it was because of Guts's strong will...
Or maybe it's because he's the first unofficial "chosen one" in so many years...
Guided by the "key", Guts went deeper into the core of the heavens than any other god before him.
It was not some indescribable thing or god that Guts imagined.
What has been silently influencing the world is actually a machine similar to a loom.
But what it weaves is not silk cloth, but the fate and cause and effect of this world.
It is also because of the existence of this [Loom of Destiny] that the world where gods have fallen and dimensions have collapsed can still maintain its general framework and operate normally.
Through the threads of this [Loom of Fate], Guts saw the destiny of all living beings.
It includes the fate of the gods and the reincarnation of mortals. Guts even saw the figure of a giant in it.
"God Slayer Guts" is the only individual so far who has escaped from this [loom of fate] and dominated his destiny with his own will.
Of course, this is not because the [Loom of Destiny] is not capable enough.
It was because this [Loom of Fate] had no controller, and some mistakes occurred during its billions of years of operation, which led to the birth of Guts.
From this perspective, Guts's appearance can be said to be an "inevitable" coincidence.
Even if there is no Guts today, there will be As and Kes tomorrow, who will eventually escape the control of the "Loom of Fate" and reach the deepest part of the heaven.
The biggest difference between Guts and them is that he never forgets the responsibilities he shoulders.
Not tempted at all by the ability to "control the fate of all things", Guts walked towards the [Loom of Fate] without forgetting his original intention, and then he gained insight into deeper secrets.
This [Loom of Destiny] did not appear in this world by chance; it was placed here intentionally by someone.
Or to be more precise, the existence of this [Loom of Fate] itself is to rewrite the fate of this world and turn it into a kind of "forbidden zone" where everything is prohibited.
Under the manipulation of the [Loom of Destiny], all supernatural powers in this world will be suppressed to the maximum extent.
Even for a deity who has unlocked the [Long Steps to Deification], his performance in the mortal world will not be much better than that of an ordinary person.
Only the "God's Choice" that occurs once in ten thousand years can allow those extraordinary people who hold the "key" to release their full potential and demonstrate abilities that match their own status.
And only the best among these extraordinary people are qualified to become gods of this world.
Even so, those gods are still controlled by the [Loom of Fate], and only in heaven can they display the power of true gods to a certain extent.
In other words, the gods of this world are inherently flawed and incomplete.
Guts was able to massacre the entire pantheon as a mere mortal, in large part because of the flaws of these gods themselves.
So here comes the question.
Why was this [Loom of Fate] originally set up to suppress the higher-dimensional forces of this world?
The answer is simple.
That is to imitate the environment of the [Sinking Zone] and attract the arrival of the [God of Chaos].
The existence of this [Loom of Fate] was arranged, and I don't know from which channel the news about the [God of Chaos] was learned.
Therefore, He deliberately imitated the environment of the [Sinking Zone] to create a world where all things are forbidden, hoping to attract the appearance of the [God of Chaos].
Let’s not discuss whether the principles and logic of this behavior are feasible.
Anyway, judging from the final result, the unknown entity's approach was not successful.
Until He finally abandoned this world and this [Loom of Fate], the [God of Chaos] never came.
However, just after the unknown existence disappeared, the [God of Chaos] appeared in this world by chance.
Looking back, it was even difficult for Li Hao to determine whether the [God of Chaos] appeared due to the [Loom of Fate].
Anyway, the coming of the [God of Chaos] did cause errors in the operation of the [Loom of Fate].
Therefore, Guts can be said to have picked up the right to use the [Loom of Fate] and the [God of Chaos] by chance, becoming the supreme being who can truly dominate the future of this world.
Afterwards, Guts, who knew everything, chose to reveal the existence of the God of Chaos to everyone, and delegated His authority to every intelligent creature.
To be honest, this is a way of using the [God of Chaos] that Li Hao had never thought of.
The [God of Chaos] possesses the ability to change into countless forms, which means that all living beings in this world can be regarded as incarnations of the [God of Chaos].
With the help of the power of the [God of Chaos], even the most ordinary individual can break free from the constraints of the rules and embark on the path of immortality by ascending to become a god.
Of course, in Li Hao's view, this is an act of forcing things to happen.
His cognition and morality have not evolved to the level of gods, but he has already possessed the power of gods.
This is like throwing a nuclear warhead button to a child who has not yet established his own values. The destruction of the world is just a matter of thought away.
If it weren't for the unimaginable power of the [Loom of Destiny], even recreating the world would not be impossible.
I am afraid that before the civilization of this world grows to a sufficient level, the world will be destroyed because of the selfish desires of some individuals.
Perhaps it is precisely because they are afraid of this situation happening.
While Guts guides the civilization of this world to continuously improve its own cultivation and moral cognition, he is also determined to cut off contact with the [God of Chaos] in other time and space.
