Odyssey of the Blind God

The red dice he held in his hand was one of the many experiments Nial did after he returned to the Origin.

Being a full-blown Saint Runicier with knowledge of forgotten runic constellations and thousands of hieroglyphs, he could create various miraculous runic armaments.

A replication of the huge box, which the Demihumans had used to distort the mana in the encompassed space, was no problem for him anymore.

In fact, Nial had further upgraded the huge box, turning it into a Forgotten Saintly Armament which distorted not only the mana in the surrounding area but also every Original and Ascender caught inside it.

Nial couldn't even access the space inside his Heart of Gluttony now that he had activated the Mana Void Prison. The Mana Void Prison was large enough to shroud the entire domain of the Divine God of Truth, and it restricted the usage of the Spectran's Supreme Spatial Affinity, as well.

In exchange for not being able to summon more Devils from the depth of his Heart of Gluttony, and being unable to feel anything with his dark energy, the Devils and Gods lost their control of the dark energy, Divine Energy, and Mana that coursed through their body.

Everyone was weakened equally, without anyone being given preferential treatment.

Physical strength and combat techniques were all that counted right now. Physical strength was something the Devils were filled to the brim with. They were disgustingly powerful in terms of physical strength even though their tactics and swordsmanship were not that refined.

However, that was not really necessary when it came to the current situation.

The devils were in a devastating numerical advantage, and most Gods didn't possess the same terrific strength as the Devils. Though their swordsmanship and tactical mind were much better, refined to the pinnacle of the Universe, it was not enough to win against the Devils.

The battle was slowly coming to an end two hours later. No matter how hard and desperate the Gods fought, they couldn't kill a single Devil.

Once one of the Devils had been injured severely, it retreated and allowed one of its brethren to take charge.

That way, none of the Devils faced any dangers once injured. However, it was humiliating enough that they had to watch their brethren gain glory and honor once they had officially won while the injured Devils could only stare at them. They wanted to be helpful to their master, and not hold him back!

Nial didn't retract the Mana Void Prison even after they won. Instead, he made sure that his Devils would hold the Gods down to the ground as he approached them.

"You monster! What are you doing?!"

"Don't even think about turning us into one of your Devils. We would rather kill ourselves than be forced to follow you!"

Nial had a faint smile on his lips as he listened to their insults and worthless attempts to stay 'honorable' and 'loyal' toward the Universe.

He bends down to the ground and put necklaces around their necks. Nial didn't say a word even after he finished what he started. His senses were still restricted, but he knew where the nine Gods were located. They shouted loud enough to attract his attention and expose their position.

"What is that?! Tell us! NOW!"

"You bastard. Face up openly, and you will see what we're going to do with you, you imbecile!"

Nial couldn't really take these Gods seriously anymore. The moment they lost, their mouths turned into their weapons. However, while their swords were extremely sharp, their tongues were as sharp as a bar of soap. Their insults didn't even reach him.

"I will remove the Mana Void Prison in the next ten seconds. There will be no problem with your Mana and Divine Energy. However, I wouldn't recommend using any of it right now. The necklaces I've put around you will react to the Mana and Divine Energy the moment you guys release it, and they will explode," Nial explained calmly.

He was not too sure how the others reacted because he couldn't see them. The only clue he had were the noises they made. He analyzed their unstable breathing, which caused him to smile lightly.

"Don't even think about erecting a protection wall around your head to survive the explosion. The necklaces are made out of compressed Chaos and my Cursed Divinity. Your energy will be devoured and Chaos of superior quality will hit you afterward. If you guys have no idea how powerful Superior Chaos is…it's the same type of Chaos the Veils release to create the bridges between this Universe and their Universe."

Even Gods were not able to do something against the Superior Chaos of the Veils. They couldn't even touch the Veils because the Superior Chaos would spread to their body and corrode it slowly. This was not something one should take lightly.

The Gods saw the Superior Chaos that manifested in Nial's hand the moment he removed the Mana Void Prison, and their eyes widened.

None of them thought about using their powers, not even the Spectran, who was confident that he could transport the necklace to a different place before it would explode.

Despite his confidence, the Spectran didn't act. First of all, his confidence might betray him. He couldn't be 100% certain that his plan would work out. After all, the Spectran had never seen a necklace like this.

The Mana Void Prison was also something entirely new to the Spectran. However, even if he were to be able to remove the necklace from his neck, what was he supposed to do? Flee on his own and abandon his comrades? Fight Nial and his Devils, and die miserably?

It was better to wait a bit and figure out what the successor of the Darkness God planned to do.

"Are you planning to Devilize us?" He thus asked, not entirely sure what to expect from the Darkness God's successor.

He didn't kill them even though he mercilessly massacred the Divine God of Truth and everyone else in the Divine Palace? That didn't really make any sense!

"If you want to torture us to get some information, don't even think about it. We will never tell you our secrets!!"

Nial continue to smile as he nodded his head.

"I don't need your secrets. Just lend me your ears for a while, and you may actually be speaking on your own!"
