Chapter 12: Hope
update icon Updated at 2025/8/19 10:10:12

The super source emitted an unprecedented golden aurora, and its momentum instantly underwent a tremendous change. The intense light penetrated the eyelids, causing a slight stinging sensation in the eyes. After the momentum of the light gradually weakened, the scene in front of them left the three of them in astonishment.

The original chubby figure had long ceased to exist, replaced by a golden, muscular man. He was twice as tall as before, his body covered in a metallic golden layer, resembling a steel-constructed hunk. The distinct muscle lines were a stark contrast to his previous obese appearance.

Green frowned deeply, his eyes filled not only with astonishment but also with confusion. Yuzuriha instinctively opened her mouth, as if in awe. Elson's expression turned extremely serious because he understood what this meant--

"This guy has evolved again."

"Evolved?"

According to its literal meaning, it means this guy has become stronger. Green's perception also told him the same. The already mighty super source, now undergoing evolution, Green couldn't imagine how much stronger it would become.

However, there was no trace of fear in Green's eyes; instead, they were filled with steadfast conviction.

Green took firm steps towards the golden source, his golden eyes devoid of any emotion called "fear."

Now was not the time to retreat, nor could they retreat. They had no choice but to move forward.

Gathering the power of countless source agents and acquiring the evolved golden source, when facing Green, it swiftly unfolded its arms enveloped in translucent energy, forming gigantic energy arms, and ruthlessly swept towards Green.

Green leaned his body sideways, evading its sweep with minimal movement. Then, he gracefully leaped and dodged every attack from his opponent amidst the fierce assaults. Sometimes lowering his body, sometimes lightly leaping, sometimes making abrupt stops, sidestepping, shifting horizontally, he used his arms to deflect attacks, his legs to kick away assaults, or hurled golden source energy towards the opponent...

Behind him, the two individuals with divine power stared blankly at Green's movements. He appeared so casual and frivolous, but despite his seemingly unconventional actions, not a single flaw could be discerned. Even the top-tier martial artists would have to marvel at Green's movements.

Accumulated combat experience over a long period of time was not simply for show. While most of the time brute force was enough, when it came to combat skills, Green was uncompromising. Every move he made seemed so natural, as if his body had detached from his will and was operating on pure instinct.

However, in the face of absolute power--

"...any technique is useless."

Elson made a judgment based on the disparity in strength between the two. In his eyes, Green possessed formidable energy, but source agents were the executors of the world's will and possessed an unbeatable power. No matter how strong Green was, the aura emanating from him was ultimately that of a human and couldn't possibly surpass that of a source agent.

As Green continued to evade, the constant feeling of powerlessness that arose wearied the golden source. It increased the speed of its attacks, adding two more hands formed from golden energy, launching an even fiercer assault against Green.

Yet, Green remained as relaxed and at ease as before.

However, only Green could truly comprehend the pressure of fighting head-on against the golden source.

Green is not trying to show off his skills, but rather wants to win this battle in the safest and most secure way possible, otherwise it would not be worth it if he gets injured.

Now, Green has accumulated a large amount of source energy in his body, far exceeding the amount contained in the Heart of the Universe. Despite appearing to dodge on the surface, Green has already secretly mobilized the source energy in his body - the increasingly brilliant golden color and golden eyes are the most powerful proof.

While gracefully dodging attacks, Green is also getting closer and closer to the golden source wielder.

"...Eliminate, e...liminate."

The golden source wielder's words were unclear as it kept repeating the phrase.

Green couldn't discern its emotions. It was just an emotionless machine, everything it did was simply to fulfill the assigned commands, a pure tool of the will of the world - also a tool born in a different world from Green.

Now, there are two things about Green that belong to this world:

One is the power of the Demon King, and the other is the source energy.

The former, combined with the source energy, makes Green's source energy richer and more destructive. The latter's independence surpasses the first two, it can be used separately or mixed with source energy and the power of the Demon King.

But it is obvious that the power of the Demon King is not enough to eliminate the golden source wielder.

So the answer is obvious -

"...I will use the energy I collected from your comrade to eliminate you with one strike."

Green clenched his nose, his face showing a cold and stern expression, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes. At this moment, he emitted an overwhelming aura, forcefully suppressing the aura of the golden source wielder, toying with it in the palm of his hand.

The large hand formed by the golden energy disappeared into golden particles in an instant.

At this moment, Green, shining with a more radiant and dazzling golden light, had already reached the front of the golden source wielder.

Green could imagine the fate of the golden source wielder from the source energy erupting from his body. The golden source wielder could also see its own destiny from the golden light emanating from Green. One side relied on deduction, the other relied on intuition.

This is the intuition of the golden source wielder as an energy aggregator and the intuition of the source energy envoy.

Green placed his hand on the golden source wielder's chest and unexpectedly found that it felt good, soft yet hard. At the same moment, the golden source wielder saw its future clearly -

- It was heading towards extinction.

"...Farewell, golden source wielder."

The fierce golden energy, triggered by the contact between Green's palm and the chest of the golden source wielder, instantly enveloped its entire body and began a frenzy of devouring and tearing.

As an envoy of source energy, it couldn't feel pain, but it could feel its own existence gradually fading away.

Its own existence, its essence of source power, and the most fundamental extermination directive deep within, were gradually extinguished during the invasion of Green's controlled source energy, until they merged into one.

The dazzling golden light suddenly converged.

Yuzuriha and Elsen blinked their stinging eyelids and looked at Green, only to find that there was no longer a figure of the golden source wielder, but only a young man surrounded by golden energy and with golden eyes.

............

"What should we do now? Take the initiative or wait for them to come?"

"Taking the initiative is impossible. I can't think of any way to launch an attack on the world. Apart from quietly waiting for the arrival of the source energy envoys, we can't do anything else - unfortunately, that's the current situation."

After instructing Yuzuriha to protect Aloof, Green brought Elson to the Demon Realm to meet with the God of Light and the three Great Demon Kings. Elsa was also present.

Upon hearing the God of Light's despairing words, Elson, as one of the few remaining deities, expressed his own viewpoint.

"The strength of Lord Green is evident to all. He wields an enormous amount of Source Power and has defeated the evolved Golden Source Envoys. He undoubtedly possesses the power to battle the World Origin."

"But the problem lies in the fact that the power of the World Origin is intangible, and the Source Envoys are merely its incarnations. How can we fight back against such an enemy? There is no hope whatsoever."

"Regardless, we must not adopt a passive attitude of waiting for the enemy to come to us."

The two deities argued against each other's views, causing Green, who was observing from the side, to become somewhat annoyed. Just as Green was about to scold them in anger, Elson suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, as if he had thought of a way to break the deadlock.

"...Right, I remember that the Supreme God has a book in his possession, which contains a wealth of advanced knowledge about the world. Perhaps we can find some hope there."

"The Supreme God... The Supreme God has already fallen, and I'm afraid his world has been destroyed in the battle."

"Your pessimistic attitude is quite irritating."

Elson frowned and glared at the God of Light with a reproachful look. As the deity of the human realm, the guardian, ruler, and controller of the human realm, Elson's status was equal to that of the God of Light, and his power far surpassed the God of Light's. He felt a bit frustrated seeing the God of Light repeatedly displaying a negative attitude.

Green intended to say something to help the two adjust their mindset, but considering what the God of Light had experienced, the words got stuck in his throat.

The God of Light had exhausted all his strength and almost lost his life before escaping to the Demon Realm. The darkness and pressure he had endured were far greater than when he was rescued by Yuzuriha in their initial battle, followed by Elson displaying overwhelming power.

Suddenly, Green also thought of something, and his furrowed brow relaxed.

"God of Light, there is a 'gate' in your room that connects to other divine realms, right?"

"Yes, that's correct."

The God of Light nodded. Everyone remained silent.

When I went to Heaven to find you before, I also came to a floating podium through the gate. I saw that there were dozens of 'gates' connected there and went in to investigate one by one."

The God of Light looked puzzled, but Elson's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Green responded to this anticipation:

"I have explored those worlds, and the highest gate should lead to the realm of the Supreme God, right? I only saw dozens of Source Envoys at that time, but they suddenly disappeared. Although there were signs of a battle around, it was not severe overall—perhaps we can investigate inside the palace."

A glimmer of hope shone in Elson's eyes. That highest gate undoubtedly led to the realm of the Supreme God, and only the highest deity like the Supreme God could have such treatment.

As long as the realm of the Supreme God was intact, all the things the Supreme God had kept should also be intact.

The hope to break the current situation lies within it...
