Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 668 Giving It A Try

After the Gods saw Nial and the Oracle alone in the office with two small mountains of corpses and the recently killed Divine God of Truth, they concluded that Nial had been the murderer.

They didn't even question him and attacked relentlessly. That was how they ended up in the current situation, tied up and a necklace, which would explode the moment the Gods would use their Mana or Divine Energy, put around their neck.

The Gods had gotten up from the ground and the Devils moved next to Nial to make some space for him as he stepped forward.

He visualized the Gods precisely for the first time and figured that the Spectran was the only Primordial in the small group of nine.

Damian had never encountered the other Gods, which made things a little bit easier, or so he thought.

"I know that it will be hard to believe me and that you guys will probably disregard my words, either way, but someone else was here before me. I couldn't clearly perceive that person because the armaments used by that person could restrict a visualization of the being beneath the black robe and the mask it wore.

This person killed all those Gods, including the Divine God of Truth before I could ask the Divine God of Truth to vouch for me. After all, I had an announcement to make and wanted to make sure that everyone would believe my words.

With the Divine God of Truth's help, this would have been much easier, don't you guys agree?"

Nial's words resounded through the main office to be heard by everyone. The Oracle felt like adding a few things, but she noticed that the Gods were quiet and that they were deep in thought.

Most of them were silent because they didn't have much to say. Just like Nial had said earlier, they didn't believe what he said. There was no need for Nial to waste his breath and brain cells to come up with such a detailed plan to make it seem as if he was a nice person.

The Gods could tell that Nial was sly by looking at his face. It was the most scheming face they had ever seen. That was something the Gods were sure of, most of them at least.

Nial figured that they wouldn't trust him because they had already determined that he was the successor of the Darkness God. The Darkness God was a frightening, deadly, sly, and merciless person. He destroyed the balance of life and death in the Universe by eradicating too many precious lives in a matter of years.

Clearly recalling the past, and how they felt during the Great War, the Gods could never forget themselves for being too weak to change the tides of war, let alone protect those they cared deeply about.

It was necessary for some things to change, and the Gods figured that they had to be will-strong this time around. If they would crumble after a few words said by the Darkness God's Successor, they would not only betray their own races but also the trust of the Universe.

"It's fine even if you don't want to speak with me. I will be the one speaking. Listen to me, and decide whether you believe my words, or not afterward. There is no need to rush anything."

As he spoke, Nial was trying to come up with the best possible way to start the story he initially wanted to tell the Divine God of Truth. The nine Gods were comparable to the Divine God of Truth, but there was not actually much he could do to save the current situation.

As long as he could plant some seeds of doubt, he could already consider today as a success, if one excluded the death of the Divine God of Truth, and that he had actually been present when the Divine God of Truth died.

"To explain the current situation in simple terms, I am in possession of Damian's memories. That is also why I recall you, Jgdras," Nial said while his head turned to the Spectran. The Spectran flinched looking at the milky-white, lifeless eyes.

Nial ignored the shuddering Spectran and continued.

"I can also tell you that Damian never wanted to destroy the Universe. He planned to kill specific Primordials, Ancients, and other Gods, who fell into the hands of the Pryard. Their greed overwhelmed them and they turned into the Advocate of the Pryard. Most of you should know the Pryard, but if you don't know them yet, they're the higher existences of the Veilures and other existences with supreme control of Void and Chaos.

Hoer, the devourer of universes, is also a Pryard, and it is said that he will make his way to this Universe, though that might take a few eons.

Jgdras, if you think carefully about it, who were the targets of the Darkness God, and what did he do after the targets were eliminated? Did Damian continue to attack these parts of the Universe, or did he retreat?" Nial asked, his question directed at the Spectran.

The Divine God stared blankly at Nial, and he didn't say a word. He didn't utter a single word, but that was not because he turned mute all of a sudden. On the contrary, he was not exactly sure what to say, in the first place.

At the end of the day, the Great War happened a long time ago. Recalling everything clearly was not impossible, but certain memory fragments might be a little different than he knew.

The Spectran could actually recall the names of the beings Damian had wanted to kill. He could also remember that Damian had been pushed back after killing one of the strongest Spectran in history. Whether it was coincidence or not, the strongest Spectran in the history of the Universe had also been one of Damian's targets.

Nobody thought much about this at that time. In fact, everyone presumed that Damian targeted the strongest Divine Gods in the history of the Universe in order to become the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.

But was that really the case?

Was that really Damian's plan?

Nobody could tell for sure.
