Boom!
The oppressive force reached its peak.
God-King Poseidon couldn't bear it, and cracks appeared on his skin.
"At this point, there's no need for pretense anymore."
As he spoke, dragon horns, scales, tail, and wings grew out savagely from the God-King's body. In an instant, a silver dragon emerged, coiled within the God-King's hall, its majestic draconic might making the gods glance in awe.
A grand voice echoed from all directions.
Chaos, a formless top-tier existence, whose true body was the pervasive chaos filling the Celestial Realm, spoke.
"Foreign god, you have inflicted irreparable harm on the Olympus multiverse, causing the demise of the primordial gods Tartarus and Gaia."
"You will pay for this."
"Not only you, but I will also find your world and subject it to the same torment."
Under the immense pressure from Chaos, the silver dragon showed no fear. Instead, it grinned, its dragon horns proud and fierce. Having played the role of a tyrant god-king for too long, this avatar had absorbed some of that temperament.
"Haha, you think you can do that?"
The silver dragon glanced around, whispering, "Heavenly gods? Just a bunch of frogs in a well."
Buzz!
The boundless chaotic energy converged, forming a massive hand that sealed the space around the silver dragon, aiming to suppress it. The other gods, cooperating with Chaos, unleashed their divine power, creating a net-like barrier, leaving no chance for the faceless Garon to escape.
However, the faceless Garon had no intention of fleeing.
Athena was indeed clever, uncovering his identity as a foreign god and awakening one of the strongest primordial gods during his absence. However, it was too late.
Boom!
The river of time surged, creating massive waves.
From the tumultuous currents, another grand figure emerged, its wings sweeping aside the chaotic hand. The terrifying aura caused the gods to change color and feel an instinctive urge to flee. If not for the primordial god's support, they would have turned and run.
The river of time calmed.
In the gods' vision, another silver dragon appeared.
However, unlike the one disguised as Poseidon, this silver dragon had spiral patterns faintly visible on its silver-gray scales, enchanting and beautiful, evil yet sacred, covering its entire body, even the dragon horns.
Garon Aurelian, the main body, had arrived.
"Come."
He said.
The faceless avatar turned into a stream of light, merging into Garon's body.
The already vast aura grew even stronger.
The boundless chaotic energy roiled like boiling water, uncertain and wary.
"So, that was just an avatar. You are the main body."
"And what of it?"
The silver dragon's gaze was indifferent.
Click! Click! Purple patterns extended, forming a thick and menacing armor along the silver dragon's robust body.
Terrifying in form, supreme in power.
The abyssal plane armament, Infinite King Armor, united!
The terrifying aura, several times stronger than before, radiated outward, heightening the gods' fear to its peak.
Simultaneously, the Hero's Crown shone brilliantly.
The Astral Scepter appeared in the silver dragon's left claw, the Banner of Beasts unfurled from its back, fluttering like a cloak.
These plane armaments, though affected by being in a different multiverse, still provided some augmentation to Garon.
At the same time, the crystalline, exquisitely dangerous Time Annihilation Sword appeared in the silver dragon's right claw.
Without wasting words with the primordial god, the fully armed silver dragon attacked directly.
Winds and clouds surged as all the chaotic energy gathered, forming a colossal giant whose body reached the limits of the Celestial Realm.
The silver dragon's body expanded simultaneously, becoming a gigantic beast spanning the Celestial Realm.
Before the battle officially began, the overwhelming presence of these two top-tier beings had already shattered countless celestial buildings. What was once a serene and beautiful Celestial Realm was now ravaged by lightning, heavenly fire, and chaotic time sequences, resembling doomsday.
Many gods, struggling to stabilize their minds, joined Chaos in battling this terrifying foreign god.
They dared not approach, resorting to long-range interference.
The battle between Garon and Chaos erupted.
Boom!
The giant's fists, carrying the power to shatter planes, struck towards the silver dragon.
However, the silver dragon moved its right claw, and the Time Annihilation Sword slashed at the giant's fist.
Sensing the lethal danger of the sword, the giant dodged the strike.
With a wave of its hand, wind and fire birthed from chaos, forming a giant axe.
Crack!
The wind-fire axe clashed with the Time Annihilation Sword, shattering instantly.
The giant's pupils shrank.
Buzz!
Its body exploded, transforming into vast energy, losing its form and enveloping the silver dragon and the entire Celestial Realm.
"I am the source of the world, the primordial chaos!"
The grand voice resounded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chaos evolved, unleashing thousands of thunderbolts, each more ferocious than Zeus's full-force thunder spear, and this was just part of Chaos's assault. The most extreme fire, water, wind, earth, even time and space, moved to attack Garon.
Time-based attacks were directly nullified by Garon.
As for the others...
Various attacks struck the silver dragon, meeting the Infinite King Armor.
The robust and terrifying Infinite King Armor, which had troubled even the Nine-faced Dragon God and the Heavenly Emperor, became reliable when worn by Garon.
The purple glow shone brilliantly, blending with the dragon's silver-gray scales.
When Chaos's attacks finally broke through the Infinite King Armor, their power was reduced to less than one-tenth, failing to breach the dragon's temporal barrier. This barrier, surrounding Garon, was as strong as the temporal river of an entire medium-sized plane.
Meanwhile, the other gods' long-range attacks continued, trying to assist Chaos, but Garon ignored them.
Despite some effects from the attacks, Chaos intensified its efforts, causing chaos to boil, aiming to tear the Infinite King Armor apart in one go.
However, the armor's strong attraction absorbed energy while resisting the assault, continuously regenerating. The purple light flickered, providing energy support and strengthening the silver dragon.
"Huff..."
The silver dragon exhaled deeply.
"Do you think becoming a chaotic energy body means I can't kill you?"
As he spoke, the Time Annihilation Sword shattered into billions of small swords, flying in all directions, like a rainstorm, piercing through the endless chaotic energy.
Buzz!
The chaotic energy surged, seemingly in immense pain, then reformed into a whole.
Simultaneously, the rain of swords converged back into the Time Annihilation Sword.
The fully armed silver dragon, fierce and unmatched, wielded the Time Annihilation Sword and charged at the chaotic giant. The giant, now irreversibly injured, had lost much of its momentum but had no place to retreat, forced to face the silver dragon.
Trying to avoid the sword, the giant engaged in battle with the silver dragon.
However, its attacks were ineffective against Garon, who wore the Infinite King Armor. Though it could fight back, it quickly fell into a disadvantage, being overwhelmed.
In the distance, Athena, feeling bewildered, continued to launch divine attacks at the silver dragon, though to little effect.
"Did I make a mistake? Perhaps I shouldn't have awakened Chaos."
"I thought defeating the foreign god as the God-King would restore peace to Olympus, but it brought forth an even more terrifying, true foreign god."
"If I had pretended not to know, things could have remained the same, but now..."
The river of time flowed steadily.
Chaos was clearly no match for Garon.
In the Olympus multiverse, Chaos had reached its peak from birth, having no opponents, spending most of its time in slumber, lacking combat experience. Facing Garon, who had fought his way to the top and wasn't affected by the multiverse's suppression, Chaos was struggling.
The Olympus multiverse was smaller than the Great Ring.
Wars among its gods were minor skirmishes compared to the conflicts in the Great Ring. Not just Chaos, but Olympus gods, in general, were weaker than those in the Great Ring due to the overall difference between multiverses.
Inevitably, Chaos, covered in wounds, gradually lost its defensive energy against the silver dragon.
Clang!
The Time Annihilation Sword slashed, severing the chaotic giant's head.
As the silver dragon danced, the crystalline sword gleamed, cutting through the giant repeatedly, covering its body in sword marks.
"I curse you, and your world will also fall to foreign gods."
Chaos opened its mouth, speaking with hatred.
Boom!
The destructive intent ravaged, and Chaos's body shattered and dissipated, soon vanishing from this world.
The silver dragon exhaled, unmoved by Chaos's final curse.
Meanwhile, the memories of the Olympus gods became fragmented.
They were bewildered, looking at the majestic silver dragon, unsure of what to do.
The faceless Garon separated, reverting to the form of God-King Poseidon.
The silver dragon's deep gaze swept over the gods, speaking calmly, "The ruling class of the Olympus multiverse can remain the same, provided you act as if I was never here and continue to serve the God-King."
"What do you think of my proposal?"
Chaos was too powerful to control and had to be killed, but the other gods could be subdued to help rule Olympus. Garon knew these gods feared death.
The gods exchanged glances.
Swearing allegiance to a foreign god...
"Foreign god from another world, do you think you can rule Olympus? Dream on!"
"Even if the gods fall, we won't let you succeed!"
War God Ares initially wanted to say this, to denounce the violent and brutal foreign god with an unyielding stance.
However, the foreign god's gaze was terrifying, and its aura was overwhelmingly oppressive. Ares felt a chill in his heart as that gaze swept over him.
Thus, following his truest instincts, War God Ares shouted, "An evil god attempted to overthrow Olympus and was slain by the God-King. Once again, the God-King has protected Olympus. Long live the God-King!"
Most of the gods chose to submit.
A few still glared at Garon, unwilling to pledge their loyalty to this foreign god.
"Swearing allegiance to a foreign god is tantamount to betraying the Olympus multiverse. You are unworthy of being called Olympus gods."
"Foreign god, face your death!"
Athena and a few gods who refused to submit looked at their former companions with disappointment before charging fearlessly at the silver dragon.
Crunch! Before they could get close, their bodies froze in mid-air.
In an instant, without them noticing, Time Amber had sealed these gods, freezing their actions and thoughts.
The silver dragon, ignoring the trembling gods, left Olympus, returning to the Great Ring. The events in the Olympus Celestial Realm were sealed, and the God-King remained high above, with the hierarchy unchanged.
After Garon returned to the Great Ring, it wasn't long before he fully mastered the temporal river of the Abyss.
Then he visited the Nine Hells. With noble demeanor and a touch of violent persuasion—after a brief scuffle with the Lord of the Nine Hells—Garon took over the title of the plane's ruler, continuing to control its temporal river to strengthen himself.
The Hero's Domain, the Astral Plane, the Garden of Beasts, the Abyss, and the Nine Hells—completing his control over the entire Great Ring multiverse's temporal river was just a matter of time. Having ascended to the pinnacle of god-level twenty, Garon was in no rush, growing step by step.
Meanwhile, the Pantheon was also purging the lower planes.
The Night Goddess, hiding in the Whispering Abyss, was captured and imprisoned alongside the Lord of Terror.
Under the leadership of the Pantheon, the Great Ring multiverse thrived, gradually moving toward unity. Many lesser gods joined the Pantheon, becoming part of its collective.
In these peaceful days, within the microcosm reflecting the Great Ring's order, the Creator Annam's star-like eyes grew heavy with a gleam of light.
Annam had been residing quietly in the microcosm, silently guarding against foreign gods.
Even during the descent of the Demon King, Annam remained hidden, focusing on sealing the Great Ring multiverse's temporal coordinates to prevent the prying eyes of foreign gods.
Annam believed that the threat of foreign gods was greater than that of the Demon King.
The Demon King was an internal conflict for the Great Ring, but foreign gods threatened the entire Great Ring.
The infinite universe, if noticed by a multiverse far stronger than itself, would not bode well—a lesson learned from the Lady of Pain.
"More than one foreign god is descending."
"And there are top-tier beings among them... The Great Ring multiverse's temporal coordinates have been discovered and fully exposed."
"Is it the multiverse of the Deep Sea Old Gods? That ancient cosmos, perpendicular to the infinite multiverse."
Annam muttered.
Simultaneously, the dormant Creator God, whose aura had been growing, began to swell.
