Chapter 2600 - 1133: Severed Hand Becoming a God (Part 1)
The Goddess of Wealth, Woken, turned her anger to laughter and said, "This is the Hands of Slaughter I know, failure is not frightening, we just find another path."
"Don’t mention the Hands of Slaughter, the reason for the failure of this teleportation lies here, it was pulled back by it." Gaven looked at his left hand with a complex expression.
A blessing from Xiao He, yet also a curse from Xiao He.
This hand was his greatest aid in developing in the Bottomless Abyss, but now has become his greatest constraint.
The incarnation of Record Keeper Yego appeared silently before Gaven, expressionlessly saying, "I warned you, the power of the Bottomless Abyss must stay within the Bottomless Abyss!"
His amber gaze flowed, as if he understood what had just happened to Gaven.
The same words can hold different meaning in different contexts.
Gaven pondered and said, "Did you prophesy what would happen to me?"
The Record Keeper remained silent, whether acknowledging or unwilling to answer was unknown.
Gaven humbly asked, "It’s not that I don’t want to leave the power of the Bottomless Abyss here, but I don’t know how to do it, do you have any good methods to tell me?"
"Are you willing?" The Record Keeper countered instead of answering.
"I’m willing!" Gaven raised his left hand without hesitation, "To gain, one must sacrifice, it has become an obstacle for me rather than an aid."
"Since you’re willing, why ask me?" The Record Keeper’s answer remained cryptic.
"The problem is how to let go?" Gaven said helplessly, "Right when I entered the Bottomless Abyss, I tried every way, unable to expel it from my body, compressing it into my left arm was the best I could do.
Developing to this extent now, it is supported by the Undead Slaughter Territory, its divine power far exceeds my own, becoming uncontrollable."
"If the tail is too big, then cut the tail." The Record Keeper’s gaze fell on Gaven’s left hand.
"Cut the tail? Cut the arm?" Gaven raised an eyebrow and said, "I tried that method when I first entered the Bottomless Abyss, cutting the arm didn’t solve anything."
"You could sever the tentacle of the demon prince Demogorgon’s incarnation, why can’t you do the same for your own?" The Record Keeper countered once more.
"Destroy Evil?"
The Record Keeper’s counter opened up a new perspective for Gaven.
Yet refining others is one matter, refining oneself is another altogether.
"No other way?" Gaven asked, unwillingly.
The Record Keeper again uttered two words: "Willingness."
To converse with this guardian of fatalism, takes so much effort.
Unwilling to argue further, Gaven turned to discuss with the Goddess of Wealth, Woken: "Ma’am, do you have a better way?"
The Goddess of Wealth, Woken, was far more straightforward than the Record Keeper, analyzing layer by layer: "Paths and Slaughter are two completely opposing forces, it’s hard for you to merge them together, you have to choose one."
Your Path Divine Power is only a demigod level, but the Undying Slaughter Divine Power has already broken through to the minor divine power stage."
Part of you already belongs to the True Gods, naturally unable to leave the Bottomless Abyss, let alone enter the Material Plane."
Your situation like this is unprecedented."
For now, I have no better idea."
As it stands, what the Record Keeper said, sacrificing a part seems like the only feasible solution."
"Let me think some more." This time Gaven lost his past resoluteness.
It’s not that he can’t let go of the Undying Slaughter Divine Power, but it involves too many experimental elements."
One wrong step could lead to his downfall."
If it truly becomes necessary to reach that point, then full preparedness is needed."
In the following days, Gaven absorbed himself within the Skeleton Flame Mountain, researching methods to completely separate the Slaughter Divine Power from his body."
But unfortunately, the results were poor."
This problem has ceased to be just a matter of being uncontrollable, now it has taken root and grown within the Bottomless Abyss."
Especially as news of Azegrat’s battle spread, the name Hands of Slaughter became widely known."
No inquiries were needed for the aftermath of the battle, news naturally trickled to Gaven’s ears."
Prince Grazte of the Ubar ultimately held geographical advantage, and without the restraint of Lord of War, Tempus, he fully unleashed himself in the battle against demon prince Demogorgon."
That battle is said to have been earth-shattering, drowning the sun and moon."
The entire Azegrat trembled before them, countless demons reduced to mere sideshows and cannon fodder."
With the help of Baron Blood and the Voice of Grazte, Prince Grazte of the Ubar finally achieved victory, repelling demon prince Demogorgon."
But the cost was significant, with his capital largely destroyed and territories outside the Triple Territory fully fallen."
Baron Blood’s decisive action in relocating the residence of his God Kingdom from the Beast Nest of plane 478 to Azegrat saved him from the fate of falling."
The invading demon army in the Queen of the Succubi’s territory was catastrophically defeated, especially with the help of a high godhood incarnation sent by the demon prince.
The demon prince’s strategies are not to be underestimated; despite the suddenness of the situation, it didn’t hinder his counterattack plan, the thorough attack on Azegrat was merely a feint, his true goal was to use this opportunity to clip Prince Grazte of the Ubar’s wings.
Coupled with the release of the news of his self-imprisonment for a hundred years, Prince Grazte’s reputation in the Bottomless Abyss cannot be said to plummet, but in the short term, the respect held by the demon lords for him will decrease substantially.
Many fence-sitters from his war with the demon prince will side entirely with Demogorgon.
