The Unity of All was cleaved in half by the Dragon of Eternity and Time.
No longer unified.
This scene brought tremors to the other two Outer Gods. Unlike Garon's teammates, who felt uplifted and encouraged, the Outer Gods trembled uncontrollably, fear tightening around their throats like an invisible hand, nearly suffocating them.
"Yog-Sothoth... is dead?"
"How is that possible? He is the strongest of the Pillar Gods. How could a body forged from billions of interconnected space-times face such an end?"
The two Outer Gods were horrified.
However, since they could still remember the name of the Unity of All, it was evident that he was not completely dead.
"Yog-Sothoth is actually dead..."
Nyarlathotep, under siege by the Nine-faced Dragon God and Anan, found it unbelievable. He had thought that being besieged by two equally powerful beings, he might be the first to fall. But to his surprise, the strongest among the three Pillar Gods, the Unity of All, had died first, before him and the Black Goat of the Woods.
Trapped in the microcosm by Garon and other powerful beings, Nyarlathotep and the Black Goat of the Woods had placed their hopes on the Unity of All, expecting this strongest Pillar God to quickly defeat the Dragon of Eternity and Time, break the microcosm's confinement, and take them back to the Old Multiverse to escape this crisis.
Nyarlathotep and the Black Goat of the Woods had immense trust in the Unity of All, believing in his abilities. However, the reality now was that the strongest among them, the most trusted Unity of All, was the first to die.
"In the domain of space-time, in his area of expertise, the Unity of All wasn't a match for this Dragon of Eternity and Time..."
Nyarlathotep and the Black Goat of the Woods murmured to themselves.
Their already heavy hearts sank further.
At the same time, the silver dragon raised the Sword of Temporal Destruction high, its light flashing back and forth mercilessly across the already bisected Unity of All, reducing him to countless fragments of space-time, which then quickly disintegrated.
In the end, nothing was left.
The Unity of All was completely annihilated.
"Yog... Who came here with us? It feels like we've lost a very important companion."
Nyarlathotep and the Black Goat of the Woods forgot him.
The silver dragon exhaled deeply.
Killing this Outer God was not easy for Garon; his temporal power was almost half depleted, and this was under the condition that the opponent was suppressed by the Great Ring Multiverse.
"If it were in the Old Multiverse, I might not have been able to kill the Unity of All. He was in a weakened state here in the Great Ring."
Garon was quite interested in this Outer God named the Unity of All and acknowledged his strength.
The head of the Old Three Pillar Gods was not an undeserved title.
Garon thought that if he could seal and suppress him as a trophy, it would be ideal.
However, dealing with an entity like the Unity of All, who also commanded space-time abilities, Garon wasn't entirely confident in securely sealing him. For such top-tier Outer Gods, it was best to kill them outright to prevent future troubles, even sealing might not be a good solution.
"I'll try to revive and then seal the Unity of All as a trophy when I have the confidence to suppress him completely."
Garon thought silently.
At the same time, the two remaining teammates of the Unity of All, the Black Goat of the Woods and Nyarlathotep, had their memories of him erased the moment he died. Their minds went blank; they knew they had a companion who came with them to the Great Ring Multiverse, but they couldn't remember who he was or his name.
This frightening change made the two Outer Gods even more terrified.
When their memories were erased, they instinctively resisted, but this power was irresistible, like a higher-level force, completely overwhelming the strength of mighty gods, a terrifying power from the river of time.
The silver dragon turned his gaze to the Black Goat of the Woods.
Surrounded by countless blood-flesh offspring, grotesque and terrifying, the Black Goat of the Woods constantly regenerated through these offspring. Under the fierce assault of the Purple Gold Dragon, although always in a precarious state, being destroyed repeatedly, it stubbornly survived, regenerating countless times in a short period.
This Outer God had an extremely tenacious life force, very hard to kill.
But Garon liked hitting such resilient targets the most.
Regeneration and recovery? In front of Garon, there was no such concept. Each strike caused irreparable damage.
With the strongest, the Unity of All, already dealt with, the situation had stabilized despite the presence of two Outer Gods. Therefore, while Garon was eyeing the Black Goat of the Woods, his thoughts were somewhat scattered.
"Now, the question is, due to different growth trajectories and environments, my counterparts in different timelines have different focuses in mastering temporal abilities."
"I remember Iron Garon had an aura of eternal indestructibility, focusing on the concept of eternal time, likely possessing impenetrable defense."
"My Sword of Temporal Destruction represents the relentless passage of time, capable of eroding everything."
"If my Temporal Destruction were to meet Iron Garon's Temporal Eternity, what would be the result of the strongest spear against the strongest shield?"
This question had no answer.
Unless he actually sought out Iron Garon for a little sparring.
Given Iron Garon's apparent belligerence at the time, he would probably be quite eager and welcoming.
Garon collected his thoughts, gripped the Sword of Temporal Destruction, and stared silently at the Black Goat of the Woods. His calm and deep eyes weren't sharp, but to the panicked Black Goat of the Woods, the silver dragon's gaze felt like a piercing sword, unsettling its heart.
At the same time, the Purple Gold Dragon stood tall.
He ceased his actions, but the pair of strange dragon horns on his head burst into brilliant light, forming the outline of the central heavens.
The luminous central heavens rotated.
The radiance spread, enveloping the target broadly.
Suddenly, the Black Goat of the Woods, along with its countless blood-flesh offspring, was moved towards Garon's location by a massive spatial force, forcibly compressed together, and the surrounding space became thick and resilient.
"No!"
The Black Goat of the Woods panicked, its grotesque body, covered in blood and mucus, sprouting horn-like appendages and flailing tendrils, trying to break free from the Purple Gold Dragon's control.
But it was inherently weaker than the Supreme God.
Its endurance so far was entirely due to its incredible regenerative abilities, hence it couldn't break free from the Supreme God's full spatial lock.
The Black Goat of the Woods was brought directly before Garon.
The silver dragon didn't hesitate, raising the Sword of Temporal Destruction and slashing down. The sword split into numerous smaller swords, each precisely targeting the endless blood-flesh offspring of the Black Goat of the Woods.
Shh-shh-shh...
The result was clear.
Like a hot knife through snow, the Black Goat of the Woods couldn't effectively resist the Sword of Temporal Destruction. Its main body was cut into pieces, and its countless blood-flesh offspring were also eradicated.
In the Old Multiverse, the Black Goat of the Woods had many offspring, but the barriers between multiverses weren't easily crossed. With its main body dead in the Great Ring Multiverse, it couldn't regenerate through its offspring in the Old Multiverse.
Phew!
The silver dragon exhaled, and the Black Goat of the Woods' main body, covered in sword marks, crumbled, its existence erased from the river of time.
Then.
Of the three Old Pillar Gods that invaded the Great Ring Multiverse, only Nyarlathotep remained, heavily injured and battered by the Nine-faced Dragon God and Anan.
Due to the death of the Black Goat of the Woods, Nyarlathotep had also forgotten about the Black Goat.
Now, in the darkened microcosm with extinguished stars.
Nyarlathotep faced four gods alone.
He was somewhat dazed, staring blankly at the four mighty gods surrounding him from all directions, feeling an inescapable sense of oppression and despair.
What happened next was unsurprising.
Besieged by the four Great Ring powerhouses, Nyarlathotep was captured and suppressed.
The four gods imposed various seals on him, ensuring security. Despite Nyarlathotep's myriad secretive abilities, he couldn't escape the clutches of four beings of equal or greater strength. He was now imprisoned in the depths of the microcosm, quietly observed by Garon and the others.
The first to arrive in the Great Ring Multiverse, Nyarlathotep, was lucky to be alive.
As for the Unity of All and the Black Goat of the Woods, who were summoned by his false information, they were not so fortunate, both dying in succession and being erased from existence, unable to be resurrected.
"Hello, let's get to know each other again."
The silver dragon looked at Nyarlathotep, imprisoned in the depths of the microcosm, bound by the combined forces of a black hole, rule imprints, emperor sword energy, and time amber, with a pleased smile.
"My name is Garon Aurelian, known as the Dragon of Eternity and Time."
"And the one who will soon obliterate the Old Gods."
Nyarlathotep, now a ball of chaotic light, flickered in silence.
"I know, above the Old Three Pillar Gods, there is a Blind Idiot God."
"The Blind Idiot God, the source of all things, the primordial chaos core, the chief of demon gods, named Azathoth."
This information came from the Lady of Pain.
However, the Lady of Pain only knew of such an Old God, who was also the most mysterious being in the Old Multiverse, and had no more details.
"Tell me what you know about Azathoth."
Upon hearing the silver dragon's words, Nyarlathotep chuckled darkly and asked, "You intend to counterattack the Old Multiverse?"
Garon was straightforward and nodded seriously, "You guessed right."
With two of the Old Three Pillar Gods dead and one sealed in the Great Ring Multiverse, the only remaining top figure in the Old Multiverse was the mysterious Azathoth. Garon and the others could storm the Old Multiverse to eliminate this potential last threat.
"Haha."
"Such ignorance and fearlessness."
Contrary to the gods' expectations, upon hearing Garon's plan to counterattack the Old Multiverse, Nyarlathotep didn't get angry or agitated. Instead, he laughed disdainfully.
"What, is Azathoth much stronger than you three?"
Nyarlathotep laughed derisively again but remained silent.
The Nine-faced Dragon God looked at Garon and said, "It seems he doesn't want to tell us about Azathoth. If he's useless, let's kill him."
Anan nodded and said, "Keeping him here is a waste of my microcosm's energy and a potential risk. Let's kill him."
Hearing this, Garon raised the Sword of Temporal Destruction and placed it against Nyarlathotep's light ball form.
"If you behave and cooperate, you might survive in captivity."
"But if you continue to be uncooperative, I'll have to kill you."
"You might think Azathoth could save you."
"Let me remind you, if you're killed by my Sword of Temporal Destruction, you'll lose any chance of resurrection and be forgotten by the entire world, including your supposed savior Azathoth."
Pausing, the silver dragon's voice was calm yet dangerous, like the brewing storm of the ocean.
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Eternal death or survival."
Nyarlathotep remained silent, his mental waves still emanating disdain.
Garon didn't waste any more words with him.
The Sword of Temporal Destruction fell, and Nyarlathotep died silently.
Thus, the three Old Pillar Gods were completely eradicated from the Great Ring Multiverse.
"Fortunately, we lured them into the Great Ring Multiverse."
"Otherwise, I don't know how we could have eliminated these three Outer Gods at once. None of them were weak, each strong in their own way."
Anan exhaled, his eyes sparkling like stars as he spoke.
With the three Pillar Gods killed by the Sword of Temporal Destruction, Anan had lost specific memories of them, but he could vaguely feel the afterglow of the previous great battle. The collapsing and extinguished stars of the microcosm were evidence.
The Cosmic Giant was right.
The three Old Pillar Gods were not to be underestimated. They had endured the oppression of the Great Ring Multiverse and fell into an ambush, outnumbered and outgunned, leading to their unwilling demise in the Great Ring Multiverse.
Even so, without Garon, it would have taken a great deal of effort to defeat the Three Pillar Gods.
Next, to facilitate communication, Garon filled the memory gaps of the Nine-faced Dragon God and the others regarding the Three Pillar Gods.
"Azathoth, to make Nyarlathotep, a top-tier being, display such an attitude, must not be an ordinary entity."
The Nine-faced Dragon God pondered.
"Indeed, Nyarlathotep's final attitude seemed confident, likely due to Azathoth."
"Could it be a being at the level of Class-20 divine rank capable of fighting multiple opponents at once?"
Anan looked thoughtful.
"No matter how strong Azathoth is, I don't believe he could stand against the four of us, even if we force our way into the Old Multiverse and face its suppression."
The higher the level of life, the harder it is to fight multiple enemies.
Especially at the level of Garon and the others, this was more evident.
Because those who could stand at the same level, at the pinnacle, were extraordinary beings, incomparable, like brilliant suns illuminating the multiverse, towering over countless beings. Among weaker life forms, such entities could typically sweep through their peers, crushing ordinary beings of the same level.
"Moreover, Garon is not oppressed by multiverse forces."
"Even in the Old Multiverse, Garon can exert his full power."
The Nine-faced Dragon God said.
Garon nodded slowly and said, "The multiverse's suppression doesn't affect me."
The silver dragon then looked at the other Great Ring Multiverse powerhouses and said, "Gentlemen, I intend to counterattack the Old Multiverse."
"Now that the Great Ring Multiverse is unified, it's time to reveal the truth of the infinite multiverse."
"The Old Multiverse can be our first target, also to eliminate future threats. What do you think?"
Upon hearing the silver dragon's words, the Nine-faced Dragon God and the others thought briefly and then decisively responded, "Good, it's time to show the Old Gods the power of the Great Ring."
"If they dare invade our Great Ring, they should be prepared for a counterattack!"
"Lead the gods, and counterattack the Old Multiverse!"
