Chapter 406: Each with Their Own Schemes

Chapter 406: Each with Their Own Schemes

Tonight's great explosion, and the strange phenomenon of two suns, one large and one small, appearing in the night sky, kept all the residents of Trier awake throughout the night.

Many followers of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church began to kneel and worship, claiming it was a miracle and a divine gift.

The explosion occurred because an evil god was causing trouble, prompting the true god of the Eternal Blazing Sun to descend and suppress the evil god.

However, there was no consensus on who the evil god was or who was the embodiment of the sun, leading to a split into two factions that attacked each other.

This situation further exacerbated the internal divisions within the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, causing more significant chaos to spread.

The Pope, the backbone of the entire Eternal Blazing Sun Church, had yet to appear and had not issued any divine oracles.

This laissez-faire attitude plunged the Eternal Blazing Sun Church into a whirlpool of chaos, making it difficult to extricate itself.

As the two suns gradually ascended into the starry sky, their dazzling light faded, and the night once again enveloped the world.

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur patiently sat in his seat, watching the battle between the Supernova Dominator and the Eternal Blazing Sun.

The larger sun was the Supernova Dominator, and the smaller one was the Eternal Blazing Sun. This time, it seemed like the roles were reversed.

The Eternal Blazing Sun, which had gained the upper hand and successfully ambushed the Supernova Dominator, was now relentlessly pursuing the Supernova Dominator with a clear goal: to drive him to the initial barrier's breach and then join forces with other true gods to eliminate this incarnation of the Supernova Dominator.

The Supernova Dominator, having lost the initiative, knew that this incarnation could not be saved and sought an opportunity to break through the initial barrier.

Even if unsuccessful, he intended to use his remaining strength to widen the initial barrier's breach.

At this time, the Mother Tree of Desire and the true form of the Supernova Dominator were already hovering outside the starry sky.

If not for the initial barrier, the Supernova Dominator would have swooped down and directly shattered the Eternal Blazing Sun's divine kingdom.

As the two suns rose higher, the God of Steam and Machinery intervened.

He did not directly target the Supernova Dominator' incarnation but cooperated with the Eternal Blazing Sun to drag the Supernova Dominator' incarnation into the Eternal Blazing Sun's divine kingdom, intending to completely obliterate his existence.

Despite the Supernova Dominator' fierce resistance, he was ultimately drawn into the Eternal Blazing Sun's divine kingdom.

It seemed that the Eternal Blazing Sun had the absolute upper hand.

However, Hastur clearly sensed that the Supernova Dominator had deliberately entered the Eternal Blazing Sun's divine kingdom.

The Eternal Blazing Sun aimed to use his divine kingdom to completely obliterate the Supernova Dominator and uncover his secrets.

The Supernova Dominator, on the other hand, intended to pollute the Eternal Blazing Sun's divine kingdom and thereby replace the Eternal Blazing Sun.

These two cunning beings were about to engage in a new battle within the Eternal Blazing Sun's divine kingdom.

The Eternal Blazing Sun likely had other means, or else, given his status, attempting to devour the Supernova Dominator' incarnation could easily backfire and lead to his own downfall.

In this way, he might inadvertently hasten the Supernova Dominator' takeover of his authority.

With the God of Steam and Machinery helping to seal the divine kingdom's door, only the Eternal Blazing Sun remained shining in the night sky.

At this point, Hastur lost his view of the ongoing events.

He glanced at the Supernova Dominator outside the starry sky, who seemed in a foul mood, likely unable to tolerate being outmaneuvered by the Eternal Blazing Sun.

Although he had not yet lost, his reputation had suffered.

Hastur could already predict the merciless ridicule from the Lamp God at the next gathering, which he eagerly anticipated.

After watching this, Hastur glanced at Bernadette, who was chatting with an elderly man and seemed untroubled.

Judging from the faint aura emanating from him, he was likely the Pope of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church.

It was he who had helped the Eternal Blazing Sun set the trap, causing the Supernova Dominator to suffer a significant loss.

After just a few glances, Hastur turned his attention to the Primordial Hunger.

Chains of stars flew out from behind him, gently tapping the head of the planet that the Primordial Hunger had transformed into, extracting a wisp of its consciousness and bringing it back to the Hall of Stars.

As his power grew, Hastur's ability to use the chains of stars had significantly improved, allowing him to bring a wisp of the Primordial Hunger's consciousness to the Hall of Stars without its permission.

When the wisp of consciousness arrived at the Hall of Stars, it instantly transformed into a miniature planet.

The planet's surface was a mix of yellow and black, with a patch of white at the top, resembling an enlarged, intricate marble.

The Primordial Hunger was pretending to be dead, maintaining its planetary form with no intention of communicating.

This trick had been used by the Supernova Dominator before, so Hastur was well-versed in dealing with it.

With a slight thought, two chains of stars flew out, one on the left and one on the right.

Using the chain heads to push the planet's base, he gently tossed it, and the other chain caught it, repeating the process.

After playing for a while, the Primordial Hunger still did not react, so Hastur used the chains to spin it rapidly.

Since he had stopped whipping the Lamp God, it had been a long time since he had experienced such joy.

"Stars, I..."

The planet formed by the Primordial Hunger revealed a pair of eyes and a mouth on its surface, but before it could finish speaking, Hastur whipped it again, causing it to spin several more times.

"Stars..."

Smack! Another whip, and Hastur felt a bit of the old pleasure from whipping the Lamp God.

Realizing that Hastur was deliberately giving a light punishment, the Primordial Hunger retracted its eyes and mouth, remaining silent and allowing Hastur to spin it.

When Hastur finally stopped, the Primordial Hunger spoke again, "Stars, please forgive my initial rudeness."

"This is merely an invitation. If you are unwilling, you can choose to decline."

"I am willing to attend the Stars' meeting," the Primordial Hunger quickly replied.

In today's starry sky, the Stars' reputation was no less than that of the former Deceiver and the God.

All the ancient gods who wished to understand the world within the initial barrier longed for an invitation to the Stars' meeting.

It was a meeting so exclusive that even the Fallen Mother Goddess was barred from attending. One could imagine the kind of power this group would wield when the apocalypse arrived.

Although the ancient gods were independent and preferred solitude, it did not mean they lacked wisdom.

When some ancient gods began to form alliances, others would naturally band together as a form of self-protection.

Currently, the Fallen Mother Goddess was trying to unite the ancient gods who could not attend the Stars' meeting, but her reputation was poor, and she could only gather a limited number of followers.

Most ancient gods chose to observe from the sidelines, unwilling to get involved in the struggle between the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Stars.

The Primordial Hunger had no intention of getting involved either, but now that he had been chosen by the Stars, he had no choice but to temporarily join their camp and attend the so-called Stars' meeting.

"A wise choice," Hastur's words carried an imposing authority.

"What do I need to do?"

"Nothing."

"Is it the same for the Mother Tree of Desire and the others?"

"I am merely providing a place for you to communicate, not to enslave you."

After pondering for a moment, the Primordial Hunger said, "Your image is different from what the Fallen Mother Goddess portrays."

"Do you believe the words of the Fallen?" Hastur's tone carried a hint of contempt.

"She is, after all, the highest-ranking being outside the starry sky and still holds considerable influence."

Hastur listened and continued to converse with the Primordial Hunger about the current situation in the starry sky.

When he heard that the Ring of Fate seemed to be associated with the Fallen Mother Goddess, Hastur finally took notice.

He had always been wary of this ancient god, whose authority over fate allowed him to glimpse many things.

Not inviting him to the Stars' meeting had made him feel threatened, so he began to collaborate with the Fallen Mother Goddess.

It was a wise choice.

"The Ring of Fate is a very petty being. Be cautious of his authority and wisdom."

The Primordial Hunger seemed to have suffered at the hands of the Ring of Fate and deeply understood this.

Hastur smiled and moved on from the topic, chatting with the Primordial Hunger about various matters before letting him choose a seat.

After inquiring about the seating arrangements of the other ancient gods, the Primordial Hunger decisively chose to sit on the side of the Lamp God.

"My relationship with the Supernova Dominator is not good."

The Primordial Hunger explained, and seeing Hastur's interest, he recounted events from an unknown number of years ago.

Being naturally gluttonous, he had clashed with the Supernova Dominator and had been overpowered in terms of authority, suffering some losses.

After chatting for a while, Hastur sent the Primordial Hunger away and then glanced at the star where the Ring of Fate resided. The Ring of Fate remained calm, as if in deep sleep.

Hastur quickly withdrew his gaze to avoid being detected by the Ring of Fate.

After a customary sweep of the surroundings, he returned to the real world.

Tonight was the night of chaos in Intis, and his Chaos Mentor potion was almost fully digested.
