Chapter 44: The Law God’s Shamelessness
That is, once they find themselves at a disadvantage, unable to defeat the opponent and wanting to escape, it is extremely difficult to be completely held back.
If it really doesn’t work, as long as the gods can promptly abandon their divine body and let their spirituality return to the laws they represent, no one can truly eliminate them.
Because the divine body is ultimately just a carrier of the laws, as long as the laws do not perish, a new divine body can always be created again, it just takes time.
In the battles among the gods, the most terrifying and most thorough solution is devouring laws.
However, to achieve this, the conditions are extremely harsh.
Even with a divine body, which is relatively easy to devour, the devoured side must completely lose the ability to resist and be in an absolute disadvantage.
Secondly, the spirituality of the devoured must be firmly locked within the divine body, unable to detach from the divine body and escape.
Only then can there be a “breakthrough” for devouring laws.
After successfully devouring, the devourer still needs to use divine power to paralyze and lock the opponent’s spirituality, then through long and grinding efforts, little by little, thoroughly comprehend all the mysteries of the opponent’s laws.
Only then can they truly digest it and completely integrate it into themselves.
This is also why Cronus chose to devour his own offspring whom he had gestated.
It is because fulfilling the harsh conditions for devouring laws is really not easy, almost impossible.
But devouring one’s own gestated offspring is much simpler, because they have just been born, their power is weak, their ability to resist is the weakest, and they share the same origin.
They are under his control from the moment of birth, as laws he created, he understands them the most and can more easily meet the conditions for devouring.
But even so, the spirituality of the gods devoured by Cronus has never been completely worn away, merely imprisoned and suppressed, which is enough to prove the difficulty of devouring laws.
Without thoroughly devouring the laws, it is impossible to eliminate, or even harm, the law deities’ spirituality hidden within them.
Therefore, for law deities to determine victory or defeat is relatively simple, but to truly decide life and death, making the opponent completely perish, that is indescribably difficult, almost an impossible task.
After all, not every god king is the ruler of spirituality.
If a god without a divine body wants to erode and devour the opponent, they can only find a method to gestate new laws closely associated with the opponent’s laws.
Then slowly carry out a “tit-for-tat” style replacement, gradually devouring the opponent’s law essence through this subtle method.
Once the opponent’s law essence is completely devoured, the spirituality residing within it will naturally perish.
Unless this spirituality can find and escape to another “place” before complete perishing, gaining a new attachment.
But this method has a very important prerequisite, that is, its own spirituality and divine power must have an absolute overwhelming advantage over the devoured.
If the spirituality and divine power do not have absolute suppression, then who devours whom is another matter.
Even if equal, it won’t work, because one mistake could lead to fusion, and then one is no longer oneself, no different from complete perishing.
This method is also unimaginably rare.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to gestate laws closely associated with it is already almost impossible, requiring extremely profound understanding and complete mastery of cosmic laws.
For minor derivative laws, this approach might have a slight possibility, but for many basic cosmic laws, it is basically impossible.
To challenge and surpass foundational laws, the possibility is pitifully small.
Moreover, the more foundational the law deities are, as the foundation of the universe, their spirituality and divine power are stronger, almost impossible to have an existence with stronger spirituality than themselves, unless the opponent willingly allows devouring, otherwise it is basically impossible to eliminate through this method.
Therefore, in battles between law deities, the greatest deterrent is often destroying the opponent’s divine body.
Forcing the opponent to exist only in pure law form, unable to enjoy the wonders of the material world, unable to feel the myriad flavors of the world.
For the gods who pursue existence and senses, this is the cruelest punishment.
If the opponent, having become a law existence, still disobeys and wants to influence the world, delaying the gods from enjoying the universe.
Then it is easy to provoke the wrath of the gods, and once the gods unite, there are methods to thoroughly deal with this restless law existence.
At worst, completely destroy this law, then gestate it anew!
But this is the most extreme approach, and requires the united effort of the vast majority of gods.
Moreover, it would impact the world’s development, and such a situation has not occurred yet.
So in the battles of the gods, in the end, it is most likely determined by the victory or defeat of the divine bodies.
Once a victor emerges in the battle of divine bodies, it usually means one side’s failure and compromise.
If the divine body is truly completely destroyed and no forgiveness is obtained from the victor, becoming a pure law existence, then having eternal consciousness yet unable to perceive the world is truly unbearable.
For the gods with eternity, only endless loneliness and solitude is the most terrifying torment.
Their vigorous, vast, and desire-filled divinity, in infinite solitude, will endure the most terrifying and profound torment, until final madness or dispersal.
For all higher sentient beings with self, having a self is happiness.
But having only a self is the greatest torment.
In fact, the best way to deal with an immortal god, which is also the most cruel handling method, is truly the most creative punishment by Heavenly Father Uranus.
Cast into Tartarus!
This method both solves the problem by completely sealing the opponent and inflicts the most terrifying torment on them, a torment worse than death, without any impact on the world.
Simply perfect, worthy of the first-generation god king!
Too ingenious!
However, this is also an extremely difficult thing.
Because as soon as law deities sense the danger of being cast into Tartarus, they will immediately abandon their divine body and let their spirituality return to the law body!
Preferring to endure temporary solitude and void, rather than falling into that eternally irredeemable prison!
Therefore, victors generally do not exterminate completely.
On one hand, because completely eliminating or imprisoning law deities is too difficult, on the other hand, because of this unpredictable nature.
Even if the opponent’s body is destroyed, unless the victor monitors every corner of the entire universe at all times, the opponent will sooner or later quietly recover.
If a true vendetta of endless enmity is formed, no one can live in peace.
As long as the opponent does not affect the normal operation of the world, the gods cannot unite just for one god to find a method to thoroughly eliminate the opponent.
