Dead - 582

Ye Li deeply looked at Yhwh. Was he prepared, even willing to die with Yhwh?

The answer was yes. Otherwise, he would have never been able to demonstrate this level of power during the fight.

However, he wasn't willing to die with Yhwh like this.

He could die, but he could not lose this fight. This was his full effort and determination, even willing to die to win. If he lost, he would rather never have been born at all.

This was never a fair fight. Yhwh was at the Peak while Ye Li was only at the Great Dao realm.

In addition, Yhwh's current power was not just his own, but the power of a nearly infinite amount of beings put together and enhanced by Yhwh's own power.

Meanwhile, Ye Li had fought alone. The God of Death, his temporary ally, was not even involved in the fight.

Even if he was, he would die instantly.

Despite all of this, Ye Li did not have anger that it was an unfair fight. It only fueled his arrogance and belief that he was unmatched.

In his mind, they were at the same level because he was simply better. Losing would be far too shameful, even in death.

Ye Li gritted his teeth as he looked at Yhwh. He had only been a step too short. If he had comprehended a way to kill Yhwh before Yhwh had comprehended this method, he would have won.

He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. He had lost. 

Ye Li stopped looking at Yhwh. He put his head down unwillingly.

Then… he ran.

The Karmic Slave transformation ended as Ye Li hid his Karma and ran away.

However, the current Yhwh was not someone that he could hide from, especially after such a long battle. Yhwh had considered this from the start.

Ye Li disappeared instantly. Even Zhou Fan could not find him.

However, Yhwh turned his head and looked at a certain spot in the Universe.

Ye Li's eyes widened. Impossible.

"Give it up. I planted a thread in you. Unless you were to break that thread, I can find you no matter where you hide."

Yhwh explained everything clearly, because Ye Li did not have the ability to break the thread right now. A single moment of distraction would let Yhwh kill him.

After ending the Karmic Slave technique, Ye Li's injuries had surfaced. He was in no position to fight. He was simply hoping that the 50% chance would be on his side. He had never even considered being found.

Meanwhile, Yhwh was still at his strongest.

Yhwh's technique that would sacrifice his life and his believers' lives dissipated. It was unnecessary.

Ye Li stood up. No matter what, he had to try and survive. 

He moved a step when a flash of light passed him.

Ye Li paused. Yhwh stood behind him, looking directly at him.

"You truly were the most talented. But with someone like you, I suppose this is Karma. That is your power, right? Guessing the name was impossible, but during the battle, I had already fully understood it. A version of Cause and Effect, what you named Karma. By the way, you should try not to mumble while fighting." Yhwh spoke.

But Ye Li was destined not to hear that he had been seen through in his last moment. Ye Li's body fell, severed.

Yhwh sighed.

He took a step forward as his transformation ended.

The battle between Yoha, the Buddha, and the God of Death ended in the God of Death's escape. They would deal with that later.

Yhwh appeared at the top of the Universe, below Zhou Fans unseeable Mansion.

The entire Universe, whether Path Creator or mortal, saw him.

He spoke, his voice reaching the entire Universe. "Good always wins. It is the law of the Universe. I understand it now, this is Karma."

He looked around at the destruction of Universal Sector 6.

Countless beings, whether believers or not, saw him and felt warmth from him. His believers increased crazily, even Sages included. 

His words made them feel safe in the Universe.

Yhwh sighed as he ignored his increasing power. 

"This destruction cannot be undone, and neither can the lives of those lost. Even I may end up dying from this fight. I can barely move right now."

He looked into the distant stars.

"But at least we can rest. Finally. Ye Li…"

"Is Dead? Right?"

A spiral silenced the Universe. All beating hearts seemed to skip at this moment, no matter who or how powerful, even Zhou Fan.

Yhwh collapsed. 

Standing above his corpse, a disheveled Ye Li.

"You didn't truly think that you could win, did you." Ye Li laughed loudly. He laughed arrogantly.

No calmness nor humbleness mattered anymore.

Ye Li laughed loud enough for the Universe to shake. No being laughed with him. Dread filled the air.

What Scheming? What Planning? None of it was necessary anymore.

He was fully healed. He had devoured Yhwh's Karma. Everything was his. The Karma of the most powerful Path Creator to ever fight had become a part of him.

There was no need to strip the Karma of Universal Sector 6. A hundred Universal Sector 6's could not match one Yhwh. 

Because all of the beings in Universal Sector 6 also lost a part of themselves in Yhwh dying.

After a long time laughing, Ye Li stopped. He had reached the Peak. There was no need for any other Path Creator to exist anymore.

Glancing past the Buddha, Yoha, and the God of Death, he looked upward. Nobody else was worthy of his attention now. Only one being was truly supreme. 

No, it was two now.

Zhou Fan sighed as he stepped forward. 

For a moment, Ye Li had truly controlled the omnipresent natural Karma of the Universe. Nothing else mattered in front of this power.

When used, it was unmatched.

Zhou Fan came into Ye Li's sight.

"You want to fight." Zhou Fan said.

Ye Li did not need to answer.

Zhou Fan spoke openly and plainly. "If I lose, I will destroy this Universe before I die."
