In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl.

Chapter 588: It doesn't make sense, time is reversed!

Rumble! Rumble!!

This war among the gods involved hundreds of pantheons and countless deities. No corner of the heavens was spared, and its influence even extended to the mortal realm.

The lower realm, far less vast than the heavens, is far from the center, like a lucky one on the edge of a nuclear explosion. Dark, ominous clouds shroud the sky, with golden lightning flashing faintly in the depths of the clouds. The deafening roar, like the roar of a giant dragon, resounds throughout the entire world.

People in the lower realm looked up at the ever-changing, apocalyptic sky and felt a chill run down their spines. The crisis of the fallen gods and immortals had been temporarily resolved, so why was such a terrifying anomaly still happening?

Even the gods could not answer this question.

The gods of Orario, the Kingdom of Lachia, and the Magic Kingdom—all wore expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

"Such a dense and powerful clash of divine power—what exactly happened in the celestial realm?"

The fact that the gods can sense the divine power fluctuations coming from the distant celestial realm is not good news.

The celestial realm and the mortal realm are physically isolated in ways that are unimaginable. Even if thousands or tens of thousands of gods exert their power simultaneously, it would be difficult to transmit the fluctuations of divine power to this realm.

The fact that they were able to do this means that the number of people involved in the "Celestial Anomaly" far exceeded their expectations.

The gods of each region consulted their respective "leaders": Uranus for Orario, and Odin for the magical superpowers—at least god-level figures.

Zeus and Hera were also gazing curiously at the starry sky.

Uranus, seated on the prayer platform with his eyes closed, used his "divine power" to perceive the situation in the heavens. After a long while, he said, "The gods are fighting each other, and the heavens have become their battlefield."

"What kind of trouble are those guys up to now?"

Astraea, Hermes, Hestia, Demeter, and Takemikazuchi were puzzled.

"The heavens are crumbling—though not to the point of destruction, the terrain will undergo a dramatic transformation," Uranus said in a low voice.

Gods are born from the celestial realm. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot destroy the celestial realm, but they can completely transform it, which would be an indescribable disaster for the ecosystem.

The gods of Orario were horrified. Those guys were fighting so fiercely? Their temple must be destroyed too!

Hestia asked in surprise, "Why?"

"I have no idea."

Uranus shook his head; unable to use his divine power, he could not achieve a state of omniscience and omnipotence.

The gods in the heavens had no idea why they were fighting or why they were so frantic.

"Could it be?"

Astraea and Artemis exchanged a glance, seeing the worry in each other. Roy was still in the heavens, not the mortal realm. In the midst of the war of the gods, humanity might not even be able to withstand the aftershocks.

After Roy was taken to the Celestial Realm by Freya, they considered suicide and returning to the Celestial Realm.

After much deliberation, they decided to give up.

It wasn't that they didn't care about Roy; on the contrary, they longed to return to the heavens immediately and be by Roy's side. However, Astraea and Artemis were not Freya, and reason prevailed.

If they also run back to the heavens, what will happen to Ryu and Tione, who are still in the mortal realm?

Moreover, Astraea and Artemis believed that Roy, who had created countless miracles for them, would surely return to their side, and until then, they had to stabilize the rear for each other.

The best help is not to cause Roy any trouble!

Astraea and Artemis were worried and heartbroken; Roy had encountered too many dangers.

Uranus and Hermes could vaguely guess that the anomalies in the heavens were related to Roy.

This strange event happened not long after Roy was taken to the Celestial Realm by Freya, and no one would believe it was unrelated.

Upon realizing this, the gods of the lower realms were speechless.

Hermes smiled wryly. Roy was a real menace; wherever he went, he caused a huge disturbance, even in the heavens.

Of course, for the gods, encountering a prodigy like Roy is the most exciting thing; the mundane daily life is the weapon to torment the gods.

Hermes and the other gods of fun wished they could immediately commit suicide and return to heaven to join the battle.

But the thought that once they returned to the celestial realm, they would never be able to return to the mortal world again instantly calmed them down.

This is the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal.

The gods could still tell the difference, but looking at the sky, they were still itching with desire, as if countless ants were scratching at their chests. It wasn't just about "a full meal"; they might as well be stuffed to death!

The same reaction occurred throughout the Nether.

Although the gods in the lower realms were racking their brains to imagine the anomalies that had occurred in the heavens, the actual situation far exceeded their imagination.

The celestial realm is on the verge of collapse!

The island nation's pantheon boasts eight million gods, while the Indian pantheon has three hundred million—and other pantheons also have a considerable number of participating gods. Even the vast heavens, as expansive as the universe, have been ravaged into ruins by the gods.

Order and space are collapsing, and incomprehensible forces of law are flying everywhere.

The number of gods who died in battle was countless, and the corpses of immortals and spirits were too numerous to count. As far as the eye could see, they were piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and an atmosphere of sorrow and resentment filled the sky.

The strange phenomena at the top of the sky appeared in seconds.

The impact was so great that probably no one could have imagined it. It all started with Roy wanting to return to the lower realm and Freya wanting to pursue a genuine relationship.

Under the butterfly effect, any small thing can escalate into a catastrophe.

Not to mention Loki, the mastermind behind it all.

Loki, the one who started it all, was now incredibly anxious, muttering to himself, "Did I miscalculate?"

Loki was furious that Chaos had managed to lure Freya to her death and trigger a war among the gods. All of this was to force Chaos to appear, but even with the gods fighting to this extent, Chaos had not shown up. Loki was enraged that Chaos was so patient.

Roy and Loki's situation is also not optimistic!

The gods, realizing what was going on, gradually understood that Loki was behind it all. After all, he had a history of instigating conflict, stirring up hatred, and causing Ragnarok.

Having been outmaneuvered by Loki twice, even a clay figure would be furious, let alone the eternal gods.

Amid the chaos, some gods, unable to distinguish friend from foe, prepared to turn their guns on Loki, the treacherous and cunning culprit.

Fortunately, Freya's dying wish was still in effect, and the part of the gods responsible for protecting Roy did their duty faithfully, otherwise the ruins of the Sun God Palace would have become a battlefield.

Upon hearing Roy's words, Loki gritted his teeth and said, "My plan failed? What does that mean?"

Apollo and Ishtar also cast their gazes in that direction.

However, Roy did not answer Loki. As it turned out, Loki had underestimated the primordial god, who was secretly exerting his power.

In Roy's eyes, things are going backwards!

It's a literal reversal, like time flowing backward; the gods who walked past him go back, and destroyed objects are restored to their original state.

At first, the torrent of time surged forward like a rolling wheel, trying to resist that mysterious force. The scenery in Roy's eyes changed repeatedly between moving forward and backward, creating a bizarre and surreal scene.

So Roy was able to exchange a few words with Loki.

However, that mysterious force gradually gained the upper hand, and everything in the celestial realm began to regress rapidly.

Roy's body became uncontrollable, repeating the previous actions in reverse, with only his brain clearly recording all the scenes.

This violent visual impact had a mental effect a thousand times stronger than that of spatial teleportation. Even Roy felt his stomach churning and almost vomited, but he managed to suppress it with his strong willpower.

Time and space reverse, and the scene keeps rewinding.

Rewind to when he was talking to Loki, the gods deep in the heavens were still fighting a great battle, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split!

Rewind to when the gods first started their battle. The island gods were besieged, beaten black and blue, and suffered countless casualties!

The gods of the various pantheons descended, surrounding the island's gods. Tensions rose between the two sides, but the beautiful scenery of the heavens remained untouched.

Finally, we returned to that moment of despair!

Freya, whose heart had been pierced by the sniper Gungnir, lay dying in Roy's arms.

"Freya!"

Roy tried to reach out and grab Freya, but he couldn't control his body; more accurately, he couldn't resist the reversing flow of time.

The flow of time has not stopped.

Right in front of Roy, Gungnir detached from Freya's heart and flew back to the far north of the Celestial Realm along its original path.

Freya's wounds healed rapidly, and even the artifact of causality could not withstand the power of spacetime.

When exactly will we return to? Roy breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Freya come back to life, wondering where this mysterious power would take him.

Roy soon found out the answer.

Before the great war broke out, Freya had not yet fully activated her power of beauty, Izanagi and Izanami had not yet appeared, and Gungnir was not activated.

Roy marveled, "When in doubt, quantum mechanics can't explain it, so I'll try reversing time!"

This is Chaos's solution!

"Gentlemen, follow me and kill them all!"

As Freya chose to help Roy, the voice of the goddess Amaterasu resounded through the sky. The gods of the island nation were poised to unleash their power, which spread across the sky like a vast sea of ​​stars, and in the next second, it rained down like a storm.

"I will never let you hurt Roy!" Freya murmured, her eyes unwavering.

The story unfolds again in front of Roy.

In that instant, as the building crumbled, Roy regained his mobility. His pupils reflected Freya and the island gods about to act, Loki eager to try, and the other gods observing from the shadows—

It was as if a multiple-choice question was placed in front of Roy.

If left unchecked, everything will proceed as originally planned: Freya will unleash her full power of beauty to fight against the gods of the island nation, only to be shot and killed by the divine spear Gungnir, igniting the wrath of the gods—although Freya will die and the heavens will be transformed, at least he will survive!

Stopping Freya would lead to a future Roy couldn't foresee, or perhaps even worse, because without Freya's allure and the gods she summoned, the threat from the island's gods would be imminent!

boom! boom! boom!

Faced with this fateful choice, Roy's heart pounded faster, making a dull sound. He was standing at a crossroads in the world.

His choice will determine the fate of the heavens!

Others might hesitate, but for Roy, this choice was easy. With the option to undo his mistake right in front of him, how could he possibly give it up?

Are you underestimating me?

Roy muttered to himself, a crazy smile creeping onto his handsome lips. Returning here from the future had been a truly exhilarating adventure.

"stop!"

Just before the power of beauty was fully activated, Roy used his spatial imperial artifact to teleport to Freya and grasp her soft, boneless hand.

Freya, who possessed divine power, could have completely ignored Roy, but under the watchful eyes of countless gods, her movements actually stopped.

The gods were incredulous. What immense trust this was! Freya stopped with just a single sentence.

"Roy?"

Freya turned around, a hint of surprise appearing on her beautiful face. She actually caught a glimpse of relief, pity, and joy in Roy's eyes.

Roy took Freya's small hand and gently pulled her into his arms.

"What are you doing?!" Freya blushed like an innocent young girl, but she noticed the approaching island gods out of the corner of her eye and felt anxious.

"Trust me, everything will be alright!"

Roy said in a deep voice, his large hand slipping through Freya's slender waist and tightly embracing the goddess.

Hearing Roy's voice, Freya's previously panicked heart unexpectedly calmed down.

Loki's eyes widened. What was Roy doing? She was planning to use the island nation's gods to force Freya to her death, thus inciting a war among the gods!

Not only Loki, but many gods were utterly bewildered. Had Roy lost his mind? At this point, did they still have a way to contend with the island nation's gods? The only option was for Freya to use her charm to fight against thousands single-handedly!

"Go to hell!"

Susanoo poured all his divine power into the Kusanagi Sword, causing it to blaze with blue light, and was about to slash down fiercely at Roy and Freya, who were tightly embracing each other.

Suddenly, Susanoo stopped moving.

Not only Susanoo, but also tens of thousands of island gods came to an abrupt halt. Their dazzling divine power froze in mid-air, and an expression of astonishment and disbelief appeared on everyone's face.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

The next moment, the island gods, Loki, Apollo, and Ishtar, along with the Greek gods, Norse gods, and Hindu gods who were watching, all simultaneously erupted in heart-wrenching cries as memories from another timeline flooded into their minds.

Freya was the same; a look of pain appeared on her pretty face as she collapsed into Roy's arms.

"Will Freya be shot by Gungnir?"

"Are these island nations under siege?"

"The gods continue their battle, and the flames of war spread throughout the entire celestial realm. Will our celestial realm collapse?"

The gods sorted through the information in their minds, their expressions changed drastically, and exclamations of surprise rang out continuously.

Seeing this, Roy seemed to understand something. Unlike when he returned here in a gentle way during the reversal of time, the memories of the previous development were forcibly implanted into the minds of the gods.
