Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 44 The God of Laws' Shamelessness
That is, once they find themselves at a disadvantage, unable to defeat their opponent, and want to escape, it is extremely difficult to be completely captured.

If all else fails, as long as the gods can relinquish their divine bodies in time and allow their spirituality to return to the laws they represent, then no one can truly destroy them.

Because the divine body is merely a vessel for the laws, as long as the laws do not perish, a new divine body can always be recreated; it just takes time.

In the battles of the gods, the most terrifying and thorough solution is the law of devouring.

However, the conditions for achieving this are extremely demanding.

Even if it has a divine body, it is relatively easy to be devoured. The devoured party must completely lose the ability to resist and be at an absolute disadvantage.

Secondly, the spirit of the devoured must be firmly locked within the divine body, unable to escape from it.

Only in this way can there be a "breakthrough" in the law of devouring.

After successfully devouring, the devourer still needs to use divine power to paralyze and imprison the other party's spirituality, and then rely on a long and arduous process to gradually understand all the mysteries of the other party's laws.

Only in this way can one truly digest it and thoroughly integrate it into oneself.

This is why Cronus chose to devour his own offspring.

It is precisely because meeting the stringent conditions of the Devouring Law is extremely difficult, almost impossible.

However, it is much easier to devour one's own offspring, because they are newly born, weak, and have the weakest ability to resist, and they are of the same origin.

They were under His control from the moment they were born. He was the one who created the laws, and He understood them best, making it easier for Him to meet the conditions for devouring them.

Even so, the spirituality of the gods devoured by Cronus was never completely extinguished; it was merely imprisoned and suppressed, which is enough to prove the difficulty of the law of devouring.

Without completely devouring the laws, it is impossible to destroy, or even harm, the divine nature of the laws hidden within them.

Therefore, it is relatively simple for the gods of law to determine a winner, but to truly determine life and death and completely annihilate the other is an indescribable difficulty and an almost impossible task.

After all, not every god-king is a spiritual ruler.

If a god without a divine body wants to erode and devour the other, the only way is to find a way to create a new law that is closely related to the other's laws.

Then, they slowly carry out a substitution, gradually eroding the other party's fundamental laws through this subtle and gradual process.

Once the essence of the other party's laws is completely devoured, the spirituality that resides within it will naturally perish.

Unless this spirit can find and escape to another "place" and acquire a new attachment before it completely perishes.

However, this move has a very important prerequisite: its own spirituality and divine power must have an absolutely overwhelming advantage over the one being devoured.

If there is no absolute suppression of spirituality and divine power, then who devours whom is another matter entirely.
Even if they are equal, it won't work. If you're not careful, you'll merge with them, and then you won't be yourself anymore. It's no different from complete annihilation.

This move is rare and unimaginable.

Putting aside everything else, just being able to generate laws closely related to it is already almost impossible; it requires an extremely profound understanding and complete control over the laws of the universe.

This approach might be slightly possible for minor, side-line laws, but it's practically impossible for many fundamental laws of the universe.

The possibility of defying the fundamental laws is pitifully small.

Furthermore, the more fundamental the law deity, the stronger their spirituality and divine power as the foundation of the universe. It is almost impossible for any being to possess a stronger spirituality than themselves, and unless the other party willingly allows themselves to be devoured, it is virtually impossible to eliminate them in this way. Therefore, the greatest deterrent in battles between law deities is often the destruction of the opponent's divine body.

This forces the other party to exist only in the form of pure laws, preventing them from enjoying the beauty of the material world or experiencing the myriad flavors of life.

For the gods who crave existence and sensory pleasure, this is the cruelest punishment.

If someone becomes the opponent of the laws, and still refuses to admit defeat, wanting to influence the world and delay the gods from enjoying the universe.

This would easily provoke the wrath of the gods, but if the gods joined forces, they would have a way to completely eliminate this restless law.

At worst, we can completely destroy this law and then regenerate it!
However, this is the most extreme approach, and it requires the concerted efforts of the vast majority of gods.

Moreover, it will have an impact on the development of the world, which has not yet happened.

Therefore, in the final battle among the gods, it will most likely come down to the outcome of the battle between the divine bodies.

Once a battle between divine beings results in a winner and loser, it usually signifies the defeat and compromise of one side.

If one's divine body is completely destroyed, and one cannot gain the understanding of the victors, one can only become a pure law. Those days of having eternal consciousness but being unable to perceive the world would be truly unbearable.

For the eternal gods, only endless loneliness and solitude are the most terrible torments.

Their vibrant, boundless divinity, yearning for existence, will experience the most terrible and profound torment in infinite solitude, until they ultimately succumb to madness or vanish.

For all highly intelligent beings that possess a self, having a self is a blessing.

But being self-absorbed is an immense torment.

In fact, the best way to deal with the immortal god, which was also the cruelest way, was the most creative punishment by the god father Uranus.

Invade Tartarus!
This approach not only solves the problem and completely seals off the opponent, but also inflicts the most terrible torment on them—a torment worse than death—without affecting the world whatsoever.

Absolutely perfect! He truly deserves to be called the first God-King!

That's great!
However, this is also an extremely difficult thing.

Because as soon as a deity of law discovers that it may be in danger of being banished to Tartarus, it will immediately abandon its divine body and allow its spirit to return to its original form of law!
I would rather endure temporary loneliness and emptiness than allow myself to fall into that place of eternal damnation!

Therefore, the victors generally do not pursue the enemy to the bitter end.

On the one hand, it is too difficult to completely eliminate or imprison the gods of law; on the other hand, it is because of this inescapable nature.

Even if the opponent's body is destroyed, unless the victor monitors every corner of the universe at all times, the opponent will eventually be able to quietly recover.

If a truly irreconcilable feud is formed, then neither of them will have any peace.

Unless the other party disrupts the normal functioning of the world, the gods are unlikely to unite for the sake of one god and try to completely eliminate the other party.
