Chapter 1678: 457 Golden Ship and Divine Weapon_3

“But the key point lies elsewhere,”

“Humans, or rather intelligent life forms, have never been the best recipients of ether.”

“The demons of Abyss Purgatory, the star beasts of the astral world, they are the ideal destinations for the overflowing ether.”

“More and more demons will appear in this world over time.”

“They will create more chaos to attract even more overflowing ether.”

“Ether and chaos will enter a cycle of infinite expansion, which will eventually trigger the Multiverse’s purging mechanisms, and more powerful creatures will be nurtured within the Cosmic Womb.”

“By then, it will be the time when the giant beasts truly descend.”

“You asked me earlier if Aindor would shatter.”

“My answer is, absolutely not before the descent of the giant beasts; after that, it’s an inevitability.”

At that point,

She suddenly gave Matthew a deep look.

“And the only way to stop or delay that day from coming is to establish order and reduce chaos,”

She said.

Matthew mused,

“Do you mean to put a stop to the slaughter?”

Isabelle shook her head, her eyes shimmering with a strange light:

“No.”

“I mean to slaughter faster than they can be born.”

“To exterminate all the demons and enemies that create chaos in the shortest possible time.”

“That’s the best way to establish order!”

…

Long after leaving Crucible House,

Matthew was still contemplating the deeper meaning of Isabelle’s words.

If it was just about stopping chaos with killing,

Why didn’t she do it herself?

Even if she was not convenient, Ronan, Edmond, Soria, Link…

Which of these high-ranking Alliance members wasn’t a bloodthirsty god with countless souls on their hands?

Isabelle’s words

Seemed to be goading Matthew to do just that.

It inevitably made him overthink.

“Teacher mentioned before that the integration of the Secondary Planes into the material plane is the universe’s way of saving itself, so establishing order should also align with the Will of the Universe.”

“If I proceed in that direction, as long as the methods are sharp and decisive, it seems there really is no significant downside, just that it requires enough power and courage…”

Walking on the small path through the cemetery,

Matthew quietly pondered.

All things considered,

His meeting with Isabelle had been very fruitful.

Most importantly,

“She doesn’t seem to have discovered the existence of Lost Paradise.”

“Truly the Gift of Nature from the Calamity Mage, even the top-ranking Heavenly Mages were deceived.”

Matthew felt a mix of relief and awe.

Now it seemed,

The Calamity Mage must have foreseen that shot and thus preemptively gave them five a little present–

That was the Life Spark preserved within Lost Paradise.

Even if Lost Paradise were destroyed,

They could still recover in the mysterious regions of high-energy, high-dimensional space.

In other words,

Even if Matthew hadn’t left Lost Paradise at the last moment,

The five of them would have been resurrected consecutively in Lost Paradise, truly becoming ancient gods wielding the Power of Law.

But if Matthew had to choose again,

He would leave without hesitation.

Being blasted to smithereens would certainly not be pleasant.

“The news should still be classified.”

“The Subordinate Gods originally chosen did not truly enter Lost Paradise in their physical bodies, what they entered was but a projection carrying spiritual imprints, and with the destruction of Lost Paradise, the connection between the Subordinate Gods and the Main God also dissipated.”

“These once hopeful candidates for Ascension have instead become the clear evidence of Lost Paradise’s demise.

“But they are probably grateful they dodged a bullet…”

Matthew had already cross-verified with Lorraine,

Most of the Subordinate Gods held the same opinion as everyone else, believing that Lost Paradise had been completely destroyed.

Only a very few stubbornly believed that their Main God had not perished.

But these people have been keeping themselves well hidden after the event.

Especially after the spellcasters arrived,

They became even more elusive.

Thus, after the whole incident of Lost Paradise, Matthew became one of the few survivors.

What he proclaimed to the outside was that Lost Paradise was utterly destroyed.

Given his last-moment departure,

Everyone believed his statement.

Not long ago,

Even such rumors started circulating–

“The reason Matthew left Lost Paradise at the most critical moment was because he foresaw the upcoming calamity;

And the reason why the point cannon accurately hit Lost Paradise was also thanks to Matthew’s doing.

He is the inside man the Seven Saint Alliance and Storluk Industries planted in the God-making Team!”

Upon hearing that message,

Matthew wished he could find the perpetrator of that rumor and reward them handsomely with cash!

“Now that I have returned to the Alliance in the open, I can once again corroborate the truth of that rumor.”

“With that, the nature of the Lost Paradise incident should be firmly established.”

“Aside from those few fanatics, no one should care about my old home anymore…”

Amidst these thoughts,

Matthew arrived at his most familiar small dark room.

He pushed the door open,

Activated the Hidden Barrier,

And after checking thoroughly,

He finally whispered in his heart–

“Return, Lost Paradise!”

…
