In the world beyond, within the Realm of Time and Space,

"Splash!"

An illusory tide surged outward as Apollo emerged from the flowing current, his face pale and strained. The collapse of the Sky Authority had come at a steep cost, especially for him. He had not only witnessed its disintegration but had personally triggered it. That burden now rebounded with full force onto his body and soul.

But soon, glowing strands of Law Energy began weaving together, surrounding him in a warm solar radiance. The power of the sun, ancient and restorative, slowly wrapped around his form, calming the turbulence within him.

"Did it work?" He murmured quietly, eyes drifting toward the depths of the endless void.

A hint of unease flickered in his expression as no one knew Zeus's strength better than Apollo. Even with his sister's meticulous planning, even after every countermeasure had been accounted for, nothing in battle was absolute.

One misstep, and the consequences would spiral into catastrophe.

But as that thought passed through his mind,

"Boom! RUMBLE!"

The far-off void collapsed in on itself. The entire Realm of Time and Space trembled violently. Apollo's pupils dilated as his eyes locked onto a figure crashing through layers of distorted reality, tearing open the cosmic boundary as he was flung across dimensions.

At the same time, the laws of the realm began to fracture and shatter mid-air.

A numbing, bone-deep power surged out in all directions.

"That's... the Power of Omega!" Apollo muttered, eyes wide, as he turned his gaze toward the epicenter. From the swirling chaos, a figure slowly stepped forward, emerging from the void like a celestial titan reborn. A sacred brilliance radiated from his body.

All around him, shattered laws and broken divine rules swirled in disarray.

In the midst of the climactic battle between Athena, Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus, Jiang Chen had already finished his own war, and at the very moment the Power of Omega had merged with him, his strength had surged, elevating him far beyond the reach of even the gods.

The true terror of Omega had finally manifested. Under its influence, the Gods were no longer immortal… no longer indestructible. Once struck by his Omega-infused attacks, their laws and divine cores collapsed entirely.

Out of more than twenty Gods, over seven had been annihilated in an instant. The rest had been critically wounded, this included even the three first-tier gods.

"So this is the Power of Omega…" Jiang Chen whispered to himself, his expression solemn.

At last, he understood what the Power of Omega truly was. He finally grasped why this power had always been treated as a divine taboo.

In this current era, Gods were considered near-eternal beings. They could only die under very specific conditions, like having their laws and divinity devoured by another god, a process that didn't always result in true death.

Even then, the devoured could continue to exist as an attendant deity, a lesser god bound to the victor's will.

But the Power of Omega was something entirely different.

If a god's divine law was erased by the Power of Omega, then even the soul's framework, the essence of their law, would be destroyed. Their existence would be devoured entirely.

There would be no rebirth. No fusion. No servitude.

Just complete and utter erasure and not even a trace of them would be left to be enslaved.

Such an outcome was unbearable for the gods and from their perspective, it was blasphemy.

But from Jiang Chen's perspective…

He understood. He now realized why the gods would go to any length to destroy anyone possessing the Power of Omega.

And perhaps… He should, too.

Of course, he wasn't one of the gods, not yet.

Right now, he was still human, a mortal wielding the Power of Omega, and that alone made all the difference. As the broken fragments of laws and the Power of Law dissolved into the void, Jiang Chen could feel them being absorbed into his body, merging with his soul, reinforcing his inner cosmos.

His eyes gleamed with realization, and at this moment, it was as if he had found a shortcut on the divine path. As long as he could eliminate more Gods and claim enough of their laws and divine force, then his cosmic domain, his personal universe, could evolve rapidly.

And at the same time, his Omega power would grow stronger.

His gaze instinctively swept over the shattered forms of the fleeing gods, some bleeding, others on the brink of collapse, and a spark of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Come at me again." He spoke lightly, almost casually, and in the next instant, his body blurred and streaked down like a divine spear.

The dozen or so remaining Gods were gripped by panic and dread but it was too late.

Even if they wanted to escape, there was no way out.

"Splash!"

The illusory tide surged forth once more and in an instant, a vast, terrifying cosmic domain enveloped the battlefield like a celestial trap. Before the gods could even react, they were pulled into Jiang Chen's inner universe, an infinite world where he made the rules.

"BOOM! RUMBLE!"

And once again, battle erupted.

The heavens shook as different auras clashed against each other like meteors colliding.

"Damn you!"

"You wretched mortal!"

"This is blasphemy!"

"Spare me!"

"Master, help!"

The voices of the gods filled the air, rage, fear, despair, and madness, all twisted into one chaotic chorus. But it was all meaningless.

What awaited them… was annihilation.

The moment Jiang Chen realized that devouring the laws of the gods could refine and strengthen his own universe, he no longer held back.

He understood that from the instant he acted, he could no longer pretend neutrality. Not even Athena could shield him from the consequences of this path and so, there was no point in hesitation.

If he could use this battlefield to evolve his cosmos into a Great Universe, then he would truly begin to wield the Power of Omega, not as a borrowed force, but as something uniquely his.

"BOOM! RUMBLE!"

Time and space fractured further under the roar of battle and Gods bled.

Some of them glared with bloodshot eyes, struggling to comprehend their defeat but it was futile.

Jiang Chen had become a living storm, a divine harvester no god could stop.

"PFFFT!"

In a flash of brilliance, a first-tier god staggered with wide eyes and glanced down to see a gaping hole pierced clean through his chest.

It pulsed with searing, destructive light, Omega's mark.

"AAAAAHHH!"

A shrill cry erupted from his throat as his divine body cracked apart like glass. The Power of Omega exploded inside him, utterly dismantling his laws, his soul, and every thread of his divine essence.

Within moments, he was no more.

Only two of the three first-tier gods remained. The other gods were now gripped by deeper fear than ever before. Even those remaining two top-tier gods hesitated as dread creepedd into their divine cores.

"He... he's stronger than before." One of them muttered in a low and trembling voice.

The other nodded slightly, unable to speak but the fear in their eyes spoke louder than any words.

But Jiang Chen didn't pause. He had no reason to.

"BOOM!"

His aura exploded like a collapsing star and with the Power of Omega flowing through him, he was divine and demonic all at once, unstoppable.

Unyielding.

"Retreat!" Sensing an overwhelming threat, a voice laced with fear and panic echoed across the battlefield as the god instinctively attempted to fall back.

But in the very next breath, darkness swallowed him whole.

"What is this…?" His voice trembled with confusion. Before he could react, his figure had already plunged into a pitch-black void, endless and suffocating.

--Meanwhile, in the outer world, his presence vanished in an instant.

Another first-tier god, witnessing this, was struck by terror far deeper than before. With eyes wide and divine energy trembling, he tried to escape, fleeing at full speed.

But it was already too late as a fist surged forward, rapidly expanding in his vision like a collapsing star.

"BOOM!"

The blow exploded with devastating force, and the god didn't even manage a scream before his divine body shattered completely.
