Chapter 259: Struggle for Authority! The Feud Between Helrose and Mekanshut!

TL: YYang

Mekanshut nodded.

Although they were discussing very formal topics, their actions did not cease.

The Succubus Queen was clearly very pleased:

“The power of authority is the rules. Perhaps every object and event contains rules, but some can be commonly utilized, while others cannot be easily employed!

For instance, in high-level equipment and skills, these rules are embedded and can be directly used as long as conditions are met.

However, some cannot be directly utilized. Only deities can truly appreciate this, as the mastery of authority stems from all things in this boundless universe!”

Chen Bai was somewhat understanding.

Then, the Succubus Queen gave an example:

“Some authorities don’t need to be gathered or acquired but are innately possessed by certain beings. For instance, I, born alongside the Abyss, as the Succubus Queen, naturally have the authority of ‘Lust’! This is the power I have always primarily pursued!

Helrose, however, is not like this. Helrose was just an ordinary elf when the God and Devil Trial Grounds emerged countless millennia ago!

She initially had no authority but, through her limitless means, usurped the life authority of the ancient god of the elves, the ‘Ancient Tree of Life,’ and became a god. Later, in the divine war, she killed an equally ancient deity, the Spider Goddess, discarding the authority of the spider and absorbing the authorities of ‘Darkness’ and ‘Fertility.’

Afterward, through nurturing, especially by collecting faith from believers, she slowly devoured the blank authority power in the cosmos, which is why this wretch is now known as the Dark Mother Goddess! She is now a very powerful presence among the deities!”

Usurpation, innate, nurturing, faith consolidation.

These are all methods of acquiring authority.

“The divine essence of a god contains the purest authority power. Generally speaking, high-level equipment and skills, S-Rank and above, also contain some authority power! This is also why, in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, one needs to collect high-level equipment and skills corresponding to the authority they wish to use to advance to the Emperor level!”

Mekanshut explained to Chen Bai while making a sound like a cat.

“Therefore, gods who compete for authority naturally become enemies. Of course, in most cases of conflicting authorities, it is the same. As the legend goes, the ancient and powerful deity, the Creator of Light, has long been asleep. Otherwise, except within the Abyss, any deity involved with the authority of darkness would not fare well!”

Creator of Light.

The most ancient deity said to have been born alongside the universe, even older than the Underworld God. So, this ancient god is asleep?!

Chen Bai’s heart stirred, understanding dawned. “So, the struggle between Helrose and you is a struggle for authority?!”

Mekanshut nodded:

“Divine wars are mostly like this! Except for some simple-minded ones who launch divine wars recklessly! Acting without regard for consequences, without any benefit, making wedding clothes for others, but such gods cannot exist for long!

This fallen elf is very ambitious. She wants to fully master an authority and become the sole true god of that path. I suspect this vile elf seems to choose darkness and life on the surface, but in reality, it’s likely the authority of ‘Fertility,’ or rather, reproduction, birth!”

After a pause, Mekanshut continued:

“Authority also has strong and weak distinctions! Even a slight grasp of powerful authority can crush gods who hold numerous obscure rules!

Fertility is a process that countless civilized societies and races must undergo. Reproduction is one of the basic rule authorities of the universe! Even without being grasped and nurtured by a deity, it is extremely powerful!

However, the rule of reproduction is, in many cases—no, in all cases—linked to the authority of Lust! Across the myriad realms, in the boundless dimensions of the universe, I hold almost the majority of the authority of Lust, naturally becoming the main obstacle to her further expanding the ‘Reproduction’ authority!”

At this moment, Chen Bai finally understood the true source of the conflict between the Succubus Queen and the Dark Mother Goddess.

Chen Bai extended his hand, and dark red Hellfire—Desire—flared out, and he curiously asked: “Does this skill contain the authority power of Lust?”

Mekanshut nodded, then spoke: “His Excellency Satan once wielded the authority power of the ‘Seven Deadly Sins.’ At his peak, he was not much inferior to the Creator of Light, who had not yet fallen into slumber. Yet, even His Excellency Satan could not wrest much of the ‘Lust’ authority from my grasp, only able to nurture his own gains.”

Satan was this powerful?

Chen Bai, at this moment, gained a deeper understanding of this Lord of Hell who had once bowed before him, this so-called embodiment of evil, and the inheritor of the universe’s negative pole.

If Satan was so formidable, why did he die? And upon his death, what was his intention in leaving behind measures in the Abyss to usurp it and become the Abyssal Overlord?

At this moment, Chen Bai had a stronger suspicion, but he did not ask Satan.

While pondering, Mekanshut’s voice returned to normal, purring like a cat:

“Great Overlord, what are you doing? To help me further expand my authority power, you mustn’t stop your actions!”

Feeling Chen Bai’s renewed efforts, Mekanshut began to whisper again:

“One day, with the help of the Great Overlord, we should let that wretch Helrose experience the might of the Great Overlord, don’t you think?”

How so? Mekanshut didn’t need to hear from Chen Bai’s mouth, for Chen Bai’s actions already conveyed his excitement about this proposal!

“Although Helrose is despicable beyond limits, she still retains her purity, and I can be a hundred percent sure of that.

Because if she loses her purity, her power would be affected, and my authority power would greatly impact her. However, she wants to perfectly master the ‘Fertility’ authority, and one day, she will have to undergo this process!

Because, as I said, my authority power is closely linked with the ‘Fertility’ authority. Only by truly understanding it can one progress further. This is also why this bitch keeps causing trouble for me!

By then…”

This goal did not need much elaboration from Mekanshut, as it had always been Chen Bai’s primary objective since his rebirth!

Dark Mother Goddess: Helrose.

One day, she too would have to taste his might!

Thinking of this, Chen Bai’s actions intensified, as if this Succubus Queen, the nemesis of the Dark Mother Goddess, could express Chen Bai’s inner anticipation and joy.
