I didn't dwell on the matter of Oceanus for too long. After all, in a sense, there was no point in paying attention to it now.

Without the original body, the artifact was also sealed in Asgard.

It would be difficult for Zeus to do anything with just this clone here.

Turning around and leaving, following the vague sensation he had before, the God King continued to move away from the border of Chaos' world.

Just as he moved, almost visibly, the incarnation of Zeus began to become thinner and transparent.

The divine power hovering around his body also decreased, like a dam that had opened its gates to release floodwaters, and the outpouring was unstoppable.

His brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.

The God King was not surprised by the current scene.

Given his status, once he is away from the influence of the power of Chaos' world, his strength will inevitably weaken at a speed far exceeding that of any other gods.

This is the particularity of royal power and the inevitability of the Divine King.

Since I am just an incarnation at the moment, there is no need to care too much about these things.

So Zeus ignored it and just kept moving forward.

Time passed slowly, and Chaos' presence became increasingly faint in the surrounding void.

The concept of 'existence' becomes increasingly rare, and the emptiness of 'nothingness' becomes more distinct.

Looking back, the world had become an imperceptible dot of light, and His presence was almost invisible.

Only the mysterious connection that still existed in the dark prevented him from getting lost in nothingness.

Fortunately, when he got here, Zeus once again noticed the special movement.

He was cheered up and subconsciously moved faster.

At a certain moment, when the existence of his incarnation was close to collapse, at the very edge of the radiation of Chaos' power, the God King finally saw a trace of color different from nothingness.

It was a tiny dot, but if you looked closely, its essence was actually a whole piece of broken space.

A moment later, when Zeus came to the vicinity of the fragment, he looked carefully at everything in front of him.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a piece of debris that fell from the edge of the world.

And compared to Asgard, its power is so weak.

If we say that the former Asgard domain fell into the world of Chaos, the remaining power of creation still struggled for a long time, and was on the verge of dissipating until Zeus broke in.

The broken fragments almost lost their resistance before entering the world, and began to assimilate into Chaos's order and rules.

Of course, 'almost' does not mean absolutely, so standing outside the fragments, with his incarnation in a state that looks like it will fall down with a single blow, the God King cannot get a glimpse of what is going on inside.

If he wanted to know what was inside, he had to go in and see for himself.

However, faced with this situation, Zeus couldn't help but hesitate.

A weak fragment of the world, it's nothing.

But where this fragment came from is what really scares him.

Looking into the distance at the deep nothingness, that is a place that Chaos' power has never reached.

Perhaps the creation-level power has already extended in another way, but at least He did not lower His attention to anchor the 'existence and non-existence' along the way.

"...Fragments of the world...Outer Gods...The prophetic dream...The Destroyer..."

"...Not long ago, Chaos's world power mysteriously disappeared...The Lord of the Spirit World...The power of the entire world has suddenly increased dramatically in the past few decades..."

"Even Tartarus has undergone such a terrible change under the help of this power, trying to peek into the realm above greatness."

“Even after his attempt failed, thanks to the boundless source power and Chaos’s ever-expanding origin.”

"I didn't feel that He was weak for too long. In such a short time, the Abyss was almost able to recover from its injuries..."

His eyes flickered, and at this moment, Zeus thought a lot.

It involves a world outside of Chaos, just like Asgard in the past.

This certainly means benefits, but there are also huge risks.

And for the God King, if he has now completed the unification of the world, then it is natural for him to spy on the outside world.

But since the internal situation has not been sorted out yet, it seems unwise to explore the outside world too early.

but……

"But this is the final loophole in my plan."

"The risks in this world are more or less under my control."

"Even if the power of the master of the spirit world is beyond my imagination, as long as he stands by my side in the present world, he will definitely be defeated in the end."

"So, in the end, isn't the biggest risk I need to face this outside world that is beyond my control?"

Speaking of outside the domain, the God King couldn't help but think of a small thing.

Just a while ago, his incarnation in the abyss seemed to have been wanting the main body to take him back and then create a new one to replace him.

Because according to him, he discovered an incredible and huge secret in the abyss, and the origin of the artifact [Mjolnir] and the alien god of thunder was also related to this.

It’s just that those who find it inconvenient to spread it in any way seem to have something terrible going on once the relevant information is recorded on a certain carrier.

Zeus's original body speculated that the discovery was likely related to Odin, whom he had met before.

After all, whether it's Mjolnir or the foreign god of thunder.

In the incomplete records of Asgard, Thor, the son of Odin, is a powerful foreign god of thunder and is the most likely god to inherit the throne of the God King.

Since this matter concerns the ruler of a foreign land and even the heir to the throne, the God King naturally attaches great importance to it.

However, after much consideration, he decided to let his avatar take the lead again instead of recalling it immediately.

Not for anything else, but mainly because on Mount Olympus, Zeus experimented with creating several incarnations.

But none of them can be like the one in the abyss, which not only remains calm in the face of the Demon Mother, but can even perfectly disguise its love for her so that no one can tell there is any problem with its true form.

With a common mindset, the performances of these incarnations are no different from their original selves, and they are not as powerful as imagined.

The God King was greatly shocked by this. He could only speculate that perhaps something had happened to his incarnation that caused it to possess a firm will that surpassed his original body.

This is certainly a good thing, but at the same time, it also means that in a short period of time, Zeus will not only be unable to take back his incarnation, but will also have to continue his efforts to win over the powerful demon who has fallen in love.

There is no other way. If you want to replace someone, you need to find the right person.

As for the news from the incarnation... I think it wouldn't hurt to delay it a little longer.

"No matter what, we have to go in."

"It involves secrets outside the domain. It is very likely that the original gods know about these taboos. I cannot fall behind them."

"But in order to prevent any accidents, I still need to make some backup plans..."

With a slight movement of his mind, Zeus did not mobilize the authority belonging to the King of Gods, but instead extracted a trace of evil power from his body, and then extracted a portion of chaotic power from the Demon God of the Abyss.

Since he wanted to explore the outside world, he had to be fully prepared even if it was just a tiny fragment.

The most basic thing is to prepare a vest.

"Who is Zeus?"

"I don't know, it's not me."

"Now, I am the Abyss Demon God controlled by the Mother of Flesh and Blood. I have nothing to do with the God King of this world."

"In order to explore the origin of this foreign fragment, I separated my incarnation and went to the dangerous place in person..."

Nodding silently in his heart, Zeus took a step forward, and pressed the mixed power into the fragments of the world.

The space shook slightly, as if it was rejecting the foreign object that was forced in.

But after a moment, it entered the fragments.

There's no way, maybe even Zeus himself doesn't know.

Among the fragments of this world, there are still some of his theoretical bloodline descendants.

Even if the bloodlines of these descendants have been alienated, even if they are barely perceptible, they still exist.

So when the will of the King of God sank into it along with his own power, under this mysterious pull, the first place he descended was next to the Hebrew settlement.

Here is a dying bonfire and a rough but complete statue.

……

wow...

wow...

boom--!

In a broken world, at the foot of an unknown barren mountain.

Dragging the heavy carcass of the prey, carefully bypassing the various traps near the settlement.

After repeatedly confirming that no one had discovered his trace, Judas returned to the cave where he lived.

The cave is not big, but compared to the outside world, it at least looks very clean.

He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the rough rock wall, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Another day...I have to hide my prey first."

Whispering in his mind, Judas silently made a plan.

In a world after a catastrophe, everything needs to be done with caution and planned.

Just like the traps near the gathering place, they are used to guard against wild beasts and also to provide a snack for the owner of the trap.

Most of the time, the object of this extra meal is a wild animal that strays in.

But there are very rare times when they turn into something else.

For example, some of our fellows were so hungry that they fell into a trap... Every time this happened, it would cause a small carnival in the settlement.

Because there is one less potential opponent, there is one more food at the moment.

However, Judas had never done such a thing, not because he was so kind, but because he instinctively felt that such behavior would likely lead to some disasters that ordinary people could not predict.

Cannibalism is something that any decent religion, gathering, or organization would prohibit.

Only in the most ignorant and primitive times will people regard it as normal.

Ask yourself, if God is really still watching them, and their current predicament is just a test from God, then doing such a thing at this time is tantamount to seeking death.

Of course, Judas can understand those who take this path.

After all, even among the Hebrews, he had been the tallest, strongest, and wisest.

He knows the words and the techniques.

With these, he was able to maintain his life and hunt for enough food to survive even in such an environment, but his fellow tribesmen were not so lucky.

"Perhaps this is the difference in bloodline."

"The Hebrews are all of noble blood, and this is the honor we are born with."

"But obviously, I am the most honored among them all."

Praying silently, Judas confided his realization to God.

And where he didn't notice, a silver crack appeared.

The next moment, in the shadow of the cave, a pair of blood-red eyes lit up, staring at his figure quietly.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Ten days later, Judas, who felt like he was living a miserable life, walked out of the cave again.

Even though I tried to save as much as possible, I still used the methods I had developed to reduce food consumption.

But after a limited amount of time, I will eventually have to return to the wilderness again.

As for settlements…so-called settlements have never been places for unity and cooperation.

Without the guidance of a great prophet and without clergy who can get a response from the gods, in such a world, they will only trust themselves first, rather than trusting in the help of others.

The only purpose of a settlement is to deal with troubles that individuals cannot handle.

For example, on certain days, the awakened skeletons and the undead wandered across the broken earth.

Perhaps influenced by the power of the Fallen Pillar God, they still instinctively hate the Hebrews.

So in order to resist them, the surviving humans had to gather together and drive away the corpses of the dead.

"...There's nothing here either..."

With a heavy heart, Judas walked past several traps in half a day.

But perhaps he was unlucky, he didn't find any prey in those places.

It would have been fine if it were just that, but he found signs of destruction at several of the traps, as well as a few reverse traps.

This was definitely not used to hunt animals, but to hunt people, and he was even the prey.

Taking a deep breath, some guesses emerged in Judas' mind.

"It's them, the surviving Egyptians!"

"Damn it! It was obviously their pharaoh and gods who were arrogant and ignorant, and ultimately brought disaster upon themselves."

"And instead of repenting, they tried to steal the Lord's favor?"

"Shameless!"

They were indignant at those inferior Gentiles…they had treated the Hebrews as slaves, so their descendants should atone for their sins by being slaves.

If the Lord’s chosen people were not here, how could He tolerate you until today…

With harsh words and firm conviction, Judas shouted in his heart.

But he himself didn't even notice that a trace of panic was rising in his heart.

The Hebrews should be the Lord's only family, right?

Judas didn't know, but regardless, he believed that this was the truth of it all.
