It's obviously the same person, but it's just a moment, but it gives the ocean god diametrically opposite feelings.

When the words of the black-robed god in front of him fell, Okeanos suddenly felt a sense of depression from the heart. The surface of the great river that envelops the present world has dropped by three points invisibly, and it seems that it has been subjected to an unbearable weight.

This is the fourth time that the ocean god has felt this way. He once faced the Heavenly Father in the distant First Age, when he faced 'Kronos' a hundred years ago, and the dark shadow of the suspected primordial god not long ago. But on those three occasions, he was not alone in facing this kind of pressure.

But now, no one can stand in his way.

"What are you going to do, are you going to be my enemy here?"

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Okeanos didn't know what had happened to the god in front of him. The power of God is innate, and he will not be like Kronos, and he will inexplicably break through the innate boundary.

The divine power was mobilized, and the water turned into a spear in his hand, and the ocean god said threateningly. However, in front of him, Ryan had no intention of stopping.

On his right hand, the black ring grew deeper and deeper. Since the Well of Reincarnation was built, this sublimated Death has been a part of it, and Ryan has never tried its power alone.

Now, it has been temporarily extracted, leaving only a small part to maintain the stability of samsara. It is certainly impossible to kill the gods with it, but what kind of effect it can produce really makes Ryan look forward to it.

"It's too much to be your enemy."

Said calmly, and before the Ocean God Lord on the opposite side could breathe a sigh of relief, the power of [Death] turned into a long sword, which was held by Ryan in his hand.

He really didn't intend to be the enemy of the other party, after all-

"After all, you are not worthy of being my enemy."

Zheng –

The black sword was raised high, slashing through the void, and the next moment, everything in its path suddenly fell silent. Airstreams, water, light, and even space, they were killed in an instant by the Death blessed by the power of the Great, losing all traces of their existence in the world.

And the ocean god who faced this sword no longer paid attention to Ryan's previous words, he only felt a sense of fear born in his heart, and his intuition told him that he must not let this sword fall on him.

"Ryan, this is my domain!"

Fear turned to anger, anger inspired power, and when the instincts of the Titan gods were aroused, Okeanos shouted angrily, and the waters of the river reversed.

The river infected by divine power poured towards the black sword, and the ocean god could recognize that this sword was not an artifact, but just a temporary manifestation of some kind of power, no different from the spear condensed in his hand.

Without the blessing of the artifact, how dare the other party confront him on the river of the world?!

"Your field?"

"Now, it's mine."

With a slight force, in front of Ryan, the river of the world was surging along with the spear of the Titan God, but he just held the hilt of the sword and slowly pressed down.

In the next moment, whether it was the spear or the river in front of him, they all 'died' inch by inch as the black sword approached. On the other side of Ryan, Okeanos was horrified to find that his connection to this part of the 'river' seemed to have been temporarily erased.

"Ahh

A roar of rage also contains a bit of pain, and the water of the long river riots. But this instinctive counterattack was obviously useless, and in front of the blade of the black sword, the huge wave was cut open, and the wave was crushed, until finally, it slashed directly into the 'river' that seemed to be condensed into the void.

Boom –

The long river shook, and the symbol of the divine power of the ocean god was directly hit, which brought him no less pain than the sun once was. But Lane's sword-gripping hand had finally hit an obstacle, and it seemed that with the power in front of him, it was not enough to cause further damage.

After all, the course of the river around the world is not ordinary, it actually exists as a barrier to the edge of the world. It is not an entity, but a conceptual existence that makes it difficult to touch, let alone destroy.

"No, the power of [death], even if it is not perfect, is much more than that."

His eyes narrowed slightly, maybe it was the bad luck of the ocean god, Ryan's original understanding of [death] was actually not profound, but the kind of ruin he felt from the other party before gave him some inspiration.

Holding the 'hilt of the sword' with both hands, Ryan tried to reproduce that feeling with spiritual divine power and bless the blade of the sword.

The feeling of dim silence seemed to be very compatible with the divine power of death, so much so that Ryan could clearly feel that the black sword in his hand was like magic being constructed into witchcraft, and its power rose by three points.

Smile with satisfaction, then press down hard.

"Open-"

With a soft shout, in the end, under the unbelievable gaze of the Ocean God, with a loud sound that shook the source sea, the sword blade finally continued to sink.

The river was cut open, and the power of decay and end spread along the cut to the upper and lower sides of the river. Ryan could feel that because of the erosion of death, the river around the world was no longer 'complete', and even this force was still extending along the present time and space to the past and the future, wanting to completely and eternally cut off this long river.

But unfortunately, whether it is [life] or [death], their spiritual parts are only achieved after merging and sublimating, so that their unified creation becomes the [Creation Artifact]. Moreover, its users at the moment cannot be said to be complete with great divine power.

Although the power of separation is also very strong, it is obviously far from having this kind of absoluteness that cuts through the ages, not to mention that this is only a temporary power drawn from the [Well of Reincarnation] after all, not a heavenly artifact that is truly forged by the power of death, so Ryan can feel that this erosion of the past and future will soon be powerless and forced to stop.

But roughly calculated, the damage caused by this sword has affected at least three hundred years.

"Ryan?! How are you here, what have you done! ”

With an exclamation, when Ryan's sword fell, the source sea was undulating and boiling, and in the distance of the present world, a blue light was also approaching here.

It was the goddess of the original water, Tessis, who was in charge of the ocean god system when the ocean god stayed in the shrine at the edge of the world. She was originally discussing things with her children, after all, in recent decades, the god king had turned part of the eastern part of the continent into a forbidden area, prohibiting the river gods and lake gods of the ocean god system from approaching there, but after feeling her husband's sudden mobilization of divine power, the goddess rushed over as soon as possible.

Tessis hurried over, she thought that the Ocean God had encountered some accident 'there', or had another conflict with the Lord of Darkness who had arrived before, but what she didn't expect was that there was only Ryan stepping on the sky above the long river in front of her, and the black sword that slowly dispersed in his hand.

In front of him, a rift that exuded a dead silence cut across the river, and there was no longer the slightest sense of Okeanos.

The 'truncation' of the long river is not in the physical sense, because the river can still flow there. But this stretch of river, which is nearly 100 miles long, feels ominous because it is so quiet.

The water of the river is still rushing, even because of the pain of the owner, but as long as the water flows through this section of the river, it is silently calm.

The waves are calmed and the waves are dissipated, as if the river dies once it crosses an invisible 'line', and it does not come to life until it flows out of the 'line' at the other end. Even the goddess of raw water could feel that the authority of her [water] was still there, but she didn't have the slightest sense of the severed river in front of her.

It seemed that the two sides were cut off, and with her current strength, it was far from enough to break through this barrier. If you want to restore everything to its original state, you can only spend hundreds of years to kill it.

"[Death] is indeed one of the most destructive forces in the world."

A little amazed, Ryan, as the initiator of all this, was shocked by the scene in front of him.

He didn't expect that in terms of pure destructive power, this divine power would have such a terrifying performance. That is, there is still an insurmountable gap between [Death] and the Great Realm, otherwise he even suspects that the [Death] authority standing at the pinnacle of greatness may even permanently kill a god's control of his power symbol, or turn it into something else.

For example, if the Sun is killed by Death, the Sun itself may not be destroyed, but it is likely to change from a body of light that brings life to all things into an existence that brings decay. At that time, it is unknown whether the original sun god will lose his divine power or be forced to change.

No wonder Kaos's [Death] is so weak by nature, this power to end all things is simply challenging the order of the world.

"But now, it's really become 'my domain.'"

Feeling the river channel temporarily transformed by the force of death beneath his feet, Ryan turned around, ignoring the goddess of raw water who had arrived, and instead looked at Okeanos.

There is also a black line spreading on the body of the ocean god at this moment, which is the damage that the symbol of divine power feeds back to the god's body. His divine power was surging towards the black line, and then it was consumed in an instant.

Like the river beneath Lane's feet, this wound will not heal for a hundred and fifty years, and will continue to cause pain to its owner.

Of course, with the help of his wife, this period may be shortened.

"So now are you willing to tell me, what is here, what have you encountered?"

With a calm face, Ryan asked.

"Whew—what kind of power is this, what have you done to me?"

Surprisingly, however, even though he was panting, Okeanos still didn't answer the question. It seems that even if he is stabbed, he still has scruples.

"Looks like I'm still too good at talking."

"Maybe only in the presence of a god like Ouranos will you understand what you have to do."

His face turned cold, and the long sword on Ryan's right hand condensed again.

This place can already be considered outside of this world, so whatever he does, nothing will theoretically happen. Unless he intends to completely tear down the entire river around the world, the rigid law will only turn a blind eye to it.

And he was very sure that once he could slash a hundred more swords in a river of only a few hundred miles, it would be harmless to the river itself.

After all, as a barrier to the edge of the world, in terms of stability alone, the river around the world is as good as the earth, so there is no need to worry about accidentally breaking it.

He raised his sword again, and Ryan was about to slash it, but a shout stopped him.

"Wait, I know what's there, and I know that the master of the Lightless Realm has gone that way."

"As a primordial god, he discovered there only a little later than Okeanos. It's just that he can't get in for the time being, but if you delay too long, it may be fine. ”

Arriving in a hurry, the Goddess of Raw Water couldn't think about why Ryan was so powerful. The reality is already here, although the other party gives her a sense of oppression that is worse than that of the dark lord, but the damage caused to the ocean god is the opposite.

The primordial god also drove out the 'ants' on the side when he arrived, but after receiving a blow from the other party, Okeanos quickly recovered. In contrast, this dead river is a real threat.

Erasing the authority of the gods, even if only temporarily, is terrible enough. After all, any 'temporary' with enough power and endless time can become 'permanent'.

"Erebos?"

The action paused, and Ryan's heart moved. When he heard the name of the Lord of Darkness, he was not surprised.

If the river is the edge of the earth and the sea, then the realm of the two primordial gods is the edge of the underworld, and Tartarus is directly below the concept of the world. It's not surprising that it was discovered so early that it was so close.

However, he had planned to invite Nexus to explore the place after a little temptation, but now he had to go first.

"So what's there?"

He spoke in a deep voice, but the black sword in Ryan's hand did not disperse. The ocean god seemed to want to say something to stop him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He had been warned by the Lord of Darkness before, so he kept it secret. But now he also realized that although the primordial god who casually knocked him back into the sea was terrifying, after experiencing Ryan's sword, he found that the other party was not necessarily far behind.

And one is in front of him, and the other is still far away, what to do, naturally there is no need to think about it, not to mention that he has already been stabbed.

"We don't really know about this, because when I rushed there, it was already blocked by the chain of Kaos's law."

Shaking his head slightly, Tessis said slowly:

"All I know is that it seems to be a large piece of broken pieces, some large, some small. They seem to have somehow stumbled into this place because of the turmoil in the East China Sea a hundred years ago, but"

"But what?"

Seeing this, Ryan asked.

"But their aura is strange, just like their broken appearance, exuding a sense of decay from the inside out, and some of them give me an inexplicable sense of threat. I don't know what exactly is there, because before the chain of laws of Kaos has decayed to the point where it can be entered, we were driven out by His Highness Erebos, who came later. ”

"That's all I know." Looking at Ryan, Tessis said sincerely, "So can you withdraw this power?" ”

The goddess of raw water refers to the power of death on the long river, and Ryan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he was unmoved.

He and the Ocean God were not friendly in the first place, but now under the coercion of his own force, the other party was willing to answer the question, and he would not laugh at it.

"This sword mark should be taken as a lesson, Okeanos, even Gaia has never claimed that no other gods are allowed to pass through the earth, and the god king has not refused me to walk in the world, let alone you."

"Just let it stay here, so that when I come back, at least from 'my realm'."

The black sword dispersed, and now that he knew the source of the change, Ryan no longer hesitated. He took one last look at the two Titan Gods, then turned into a silver light and brushed away.

Behind him, looking at his departing back, the two gods were silent. First of all, Kronos somehow broke through the boundary, and then it was the once not powerful Ryan who suddenly showed terrifying power, and in 'short' a hundred years, the originally familiar world of Kaos seemed a little strange.

At this moment, the ocean god spontaneously gave birth to a desire for further growth.

If it were any other god, the desire would be just the desire, but he was different, he had this opportunity.

As long as he can completely rule the sea, and then have a more intimate divine interaction with Tessis, then as the master of all the water in the world, he may be able to touch that step.

After all, the earth and water of Kaos are above the wind and fire, even if they are divided into three, they have created three gods who are extraordinary in the powerful divine power, and there are even dozens of true gods and countless regional gods, if they can be combined, the power may not be weaker than Gaia, who has been repeatedly hit.

"I remember you saying that Zeus drew a forbidden area in the eastern part of the continent?"

Silent for a moment, enduring the pain, the ocean god asked.

"Yes, it is forbidden for any god to come near there, and our children are no exception."

Nodding, the goddess responded.

"Whatever is there, when I recover from my injuries, I'll go there and see for myself. I had to know what he was doing to know if he would intervene when I did it to Poseidon. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you then.

The black marks on her husband's chest were stinging with the power contained in them.

The gods are still very new to death, especially such a powerful death. Their minds are still stuck on the simple death of mortal things, so this kind of power that seems to make all things die is really terrifying.

"Zeus, our adopted son, he will not interfere with the sea as a god-king, and this is the promise he made to me as the guardian of the oath, but he will never want to see the sea unified."

"In order to prevent the god of Olympus from 'proactively' helping Poseidon, we should indeed go and see what he is doing. If it is discovered, let's go to find Metis. ”

When it comes to their missing daughter, the two Titan gods don't seem to be worried or angry. In the original mythology, the Ocean God couple did not have a conflict with the God King because of Metis, and they actually have no intention of delving into it now.

The daughter, who had been blinded by Zeus's sweet words, was no longer considered by them to be their own. Now, the other party only deserves to exist as an excuse to help her parents accomplish their own goals.

······

After leaving the Rim River, Ryan set foot near beyond the world for the first time.

It is said to be out of this world, but in fact, it is a bit like the starry sky without celestial bodies. Walking in it, Ryan could barely see anything other than the river that was getting farther and smaller behind him.

Strictly speaking, this place is still in the realm of the world of Kaos, because it is 'there'. Outside the real world, whether it is 'chaos' or 'void', it is all 'nothing'.

Creating something out of nothing is the real driving force for the birth of a world, and it is also a miracle that violates the underlying logic of the world in which Ryan lived before and after.

And the real 'nothing' is something that the current Ryan and even the spirit world can't directly touch. Only a world as complete as Kaos can anchor itself in 'nothingness' and even draw strength from it.

And what Ryan is looking for on this trip seems to be the 'nothing' from outside the world, like his soul that came to Kaos, a creation that does not belong here.

"Nothing is created out of thin air, is the collision between the sun and the East China Sea really the source of this change?"

Thinking in my heart, maybe not so.

Ryan thought that maybe something else he had done was the trigger for all this.
