?1148 Supression Of Gods.
Some roared again, "Just a little more. A little more."
This is a battle that they are losing and they know it. They are very angry and frustrated. But they are not disappointed even though their attacks are not having any visible effect on him. This is because he is spending divine energy.
His consumption of divine energy must be very high to resist all of them so well. He might be strong but they still have the advantage of numbers on their side. That's why they brought all the Origin gods in their alliance to fight him. His expenditure of divine energy is 99 times the amount he would have spent if he fought a single Origin god.
They have to use the thought that they are depleting his divine energy as encouragement because the other choice is not good. This fight won't end unless one of them dies and gives up. Those are the options because they can't escape. He has blocked his border to deny entry or exit.
They are stuck here with him until he is done with them or until he can't keep them here anymore. So they have to remain encouraged or give up and allow him to do whatever he wants with them.
The tree father snickered at them. "This is why you should not attack a god in his domain."
Gods can be ridiculed. They can be insulted for their weakness. They can be killed even. But unless you are an Origin god with a supreme law or a demon, it is a very bad idea, foolish even, to fight a god in his domain.
There is no difference between 1 and 100 enemies on the path of perfection to a god in his domain. No matter the amount of attackers, they will be suppressed just the same. This is not a complete domain since it is not his divine kingdom. He can't suppress them completely but he can still bully them.
As it is, only one death star of the hundreds of death stars is real. The rest were created with his Authority and divine power. He can create more at the cost of divine energy. As long as a god is superior in divine power and has divine energy to wield that divine power, they will remain invincible.
"I don't have angels. But I have death stars."
He replicated one death star into many to fight a hundred origin gods. He would be able to do the same to a thousand weak Origin gods. It is just unfortunate that he doesn't have a host of angels to fight with him. Even demons will be wary of such an arrangement.
"It is time to get back my dividends on divine energy." He said with anticipation.
He has made an investment in divine energy and it is now time to reap the fruit of his labors. So he produced some small black spheres with golden runes etched on them. Then he directed the black spheres towards the origin gods to take advantage of their compromised situation.
The bombardment of his death stars didn't kill the Origin gods immediately. They are tougher than that. But it injured them severely. Each attack is a blow from his Authority after all. The black spheres then moved close to the Origin gods battling for their lives and jumped on them.
First, the black spheres attached themselves to the Origin gods. Next, they liquified and began to cover them up.
"What is this?" One of them asked as a thin layer of golden metallic fabric began to spread all over his arm.
He tried to shake off the strange thing. It wasn't harming him in any way but he doesn't have something unknown attached to him. That's just common sense, however, the strange object didn't let go of him. The origin god still didn't panic even when his entire arm was covered.
"Fiar, do you know what this is." He asked one of the gods of knowledge.
"No. I don't. I have never seen it before. But it is better to be safe. Get rid of it."
"I have tried that but it is not working."
Fiar decided to pay some attention to this origin god and the others that were affected by the strange object. His face changed immediately. He doesn't know what the objects are doing but he suspects what they are capable of based on how they are acting.
"Commit suicide immediately. I think it is a seal."
"A seal? But I don't feel any restriction in space or time."
"Just do it. Better safe than sorry."
Killing Origin gods obviously won't work to get rid of them. Alternate methods have been searched to effectivity neutralize them without killing them. Sealing is one of them. If the god-
king wants to get rid of their advantage of immortality then sealing would be a good idea hence is suspicion.
This object is not acting like a normal seal should but the god of knowledge cannot think of any other function for it. What other function could they possibly have when they are obviously not doing any damage? Besides, the god-king would not do something useless in a fight.
"Alright." The origin god said in reluctance.
He doesn't want to die even though they planned to die. Resurrecting is expensive and it doesn't seem worth it to die because of a threat that might be nothing at the end of the day. It might be that the god-king is trying to fool them.
This is highly likely since seals are very difficult to produce. It is is going to be more difficult for a god to acquire. But it is as the god of knowledge said. Better safe than sorry. Getting sealed is worse than dying. So he tried to commit suicide.
"What the fuck?" was all he managed to say before he exploded.
An origin god can kill themselves. They just have to make the energy within them explode out of their Origin into their existence without will and direction. The only thing that can stop it is the seal of a world god or an incredibly powerful seal.
