In the distance as Ren was rampaging in the Xiang Clan, a group of people was watching his every move, this was the group of Demi-Gods that has been causing chaos all over the upper planes, some of them even went to the lower planes.
They have been stalking Ren from a distance that even he could not perceive, as long as they were careful even Ren wouldn't be able to spot them.
Despite slowly growing insane because of the ORIGIN's branches, the Demi-Gods, no, all of those that had the essence of deities had an instinctive fear of the Strongest Mortal Soul, and the level of fear varies on how strong the God is.
The stronger Gods would still feel that fear but to a lesser degree, in fact, New Gods feel like the fear will go away if they challenge the Strongest Mortal Soul. Old Gods, feel both fear and anger when fighting against the Strongest Mortal Soul, as for the Ancient Gods what they feel is a mix of emotions fear, hate, love, and respect, but the thing they feel most of all when confronted with any incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul is envy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Ancient Gods envy all the incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul as they are the only ones the ORIGIN truly looks at. Even though they were all connected to the ORIGIN it was only the Strongest Mortal Soul that was treated as a true child, and this made the Ancient Gods feel extreme jealousy and envy. This envy, this jealousy the Ancient Gods were feeling were two of the reasons why the ORIGIN was becoming crazier by the day.
So right now even though the Demi-Gods wanted to attack the fear they felt stopped them, so instead of attacking immediately they started to observe Ren's fighting style. Yet no matter how they look at it the Xiang Clan was too weak to make Ren use any powerful moves. Still, the Demi-Gods now understand a little bit of understanding on how strong Ren's body was.
Not only was Ren continuously accumulating Qi in his body, but his physical body alone without even using Qi was so strong. The hardness of Ren's body could not be described and his physical strength alone was at least at the level where Ren should be able to punch a star and destroy it.
It was only a brief moment but the Qi that burst out of Ren's body was so pure it felt like the Qi of the world was circulating within Ren himself.
Overall they found out nothing about Ren's weakness, and as time goes by the insanity in them grows and the fear was slowly disappearing, they wanted to attack Ren right now.
"What should we do?" One of the Demi-Gods asked the others.
"I can no longer take it, I want to fight him, I want to crush his soul, I want to devour him!!!"
Another Demi-God shouted his killing intent rising rapidly. In the beginning, these Demi-Gods were still able to fight with some form of strategy but as the days went by their reasoning was slipping away and their fighting style became even more brutal. Those with weaker willpower become like this only wanting to fight and destroy, and finally, they will lose all reason and dedicate their entire being to chaos and destruction not caring if they're attacking their allies or not.
Noticing that most of the Demi-Gods were getting angry, Erebos the strongest Demi-God knew that it was a matter of time before he could no longer control these people.
"Fine, if you want to attack then go attack him, no one is stopping you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the end, Erebos no longer cared and gave up. Since the end would be destruction, everyone should just do whatever they want. The only reason he decided to attack in groups is to cause as much destruction as possible before the people realize how serious the situation was. Now that their reasoning was barely there, they no longer needed to plan anything they just needed to obey their instincts and do whatever they want.
"Finally! Finally! Finally! Finally! Finally!!!" The Demi-Gods roared and they started to move, only Erebos and a few others were left behind. Erebos looked at the remaining Demi-Gods with a serious expression.
"Hm, why are you people still here, aren't you going out and rampage about?"
"I don't know about the other guys, but I'm not someone who would do the will of others. The ORIGIN might be able to corrupt pure Gods, but as a Demi-God resisting such corruption should be doable as for those guys they were simply weak."
"Oh does that mean you guys despite some semblance of reason still continued to destroy?"
"Why fight it? Even if we're able to resist the urges since we're not True Gods, in the end, even those powerful Ancient Gods will become corrupted so no matter how strong the current incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul is, he would not be able to defeat those monsters that control the very laws of the universe, and even if by some miracle he does win against the Ancient Gods, there is absolutely no way to defeat the ORIGIN. So if the end is destruction why not embrace it, but I don't want to do it in such a stupid barbaric way. I like your style Erebus, causing destruction in the most efficient way possible. I don't know about these guys, but I stayed because I want you to lead me. I want you to show me the greatest destruction, if the multiverse will end I want to end it with a big bang!"
After that one Demi-God was done speaking the other Demi-Gods nodded their heads approving of what the other said.
"So you all accepted destruction but you just don't want that simple-minded kind of destruction. I see... Heh, hehe, who knew... Even as our sanity is breaking there are still people who are like me. Alright then, if you want then you can follow me. Let us bear witness to the end of times and contribute as much as possible toward chaos. Let us plunge the entire multiverse into endless darkness!"
The Demi-Gods roared in excitement as their auras rose to an unimaginable level. This group of Demi-Gods separated from the others and moved in the shadows waiting for the right time to cause the most destruction.
