At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Hmph." Odin's face darkened, and without saying a word, he stood up and left his seat without looking back.

[Therefore, I hereby announce that Ragnarok, the second match of the duel between gods and men, ends in a draw!!!]

After the results were announced, the Valhalla Arena quickly cooled down, and all the spectators left one after another. The mentality of gods and humans was completely different at this moment, and some of the weaker gods even looked at humans with a trace of fear.

Humans, on the other hand, held their heads high and no longer felt any fear of the power of the gods.

"Hahahaha!!! I never thought that after I perished together with Zeus, I would not only not lose face, but would become even more heroic." Gilgamesh was laughing triumphantly.

"You almost crashed, that was so dangerous!" Enkidu said, rubbing his forehead.

"Foolish! How could I possibly fail? It was all part of my plan." Gilgamesh's chin was practically higher than his nostrils.

"Come on, Gilgamesh, you're making a draw sound so noble. You're just barely avoiding embarrassment." Ishtar scoffed. "What's the point of a mutual destruction? To put it bluntly, we still didn't win, humph."

"I even boasted about it before the show started, how awful."

"Oh dear, this commentary is exhausting," Wendy said with a smile.

The gods were still enjoying themselves and were discussing the duel among themselves.

Just then, a flustered figure appeared on the throne.

"Oh my god! If I hadn't run fast, I would have been dead! It scared the hell out of me! Holy crap!!"

"What happened, Ms. He Xi? Why are you so flustered?" Mavica asked, puzzled.

"Oh, don't even mention it, I almost died just now." He Xi patted her chest, her face still full of terror: "The universe I went to had a great horror, and I attracted that great horror not long after I arrived."

She has already been promoted to the Great Power God King and is thinking of going to the One-Punch Man universe to see what's going on, since the humans on that Earth are living in dire straits.

Not long after she entered, while gazing at the cosmic microwave background radiation, she saw a strange figure staring at her, its gaze almost tangible.

Just as the other party realized that He could see Him, He made His move. A hand that could cover galaxies reached out from another higher dimension and grasped at her. If she had been a little slower, she would have been pinched like a mosquito.

The law is absolutely real. The One-Punch Man universe was created by that law, and it has been watching over every little detail of the universe.

This was beyond her control, so she could only run back to the Pantheon.

After calming down, He Xi recounted her experience, shocking the gods. This was an encounter with the existence of the law.

[Hahaha—that's interesting! How lucky Aha is to hear such joyful news so soon after arriving at the Pantheon!]

Chapter 349 That damned Aha, he's up to something big again.

"Who is it? What an awful laugh!" He Xi crossed her legs and frowned as she looked towards the source of the sound, but couldn't find it anywhere.

"Huh...that, that's...no way!" Wendy suddenly looked towards the front row, facing the gods.

The throne of Heavenly Principle is at the highest point, and the three seats below it are the seat of Law. However, there are now ten more seats below the seat of Law, and the first seat is illuminated with the holy emblem that belongs exclusively to that deity.

"Has someone already ascended to the position of the Ruler before all of us?" Wendy exclaimed, covering her face with her hands. "Who! Who is it! There are only so many High Authority God-Kings! Who is so powerful and so fast to become the Ruler! What did they do?!"

Even if you save a universe, it's unlikely to become a legal principle, since legal principles themselves can create universes.

It's no longer realistic to think that becoming a legal ideal requires great achievements. While great achievements may be a panacea before legal principles, becoming a legal ideal can only be achieved through one's own core strengths, such as the construction of a worldview, the understanding and comprehension of the basic laws of the universe, or the mastery of certain concepts that transcend the universe.

"Hmm... this aura doesn't seem to belong to those others." Zhongli frowned slightly. "Unfamiliar, very unfamiliar. Even the power is strange. It's the power of law, but it doesn't seem to be based on a cosmological view. It seems to follow a different path... wait..."

Zhongli closed his eyes and sensed the 'Stairway to Godhood'.

Since the end of the 'Stairway to Godhood' is a great being capable of creating the universe, the 'Stairway to Godhood' has not changed for a long time.

At this point, a second path appeared at the end of the 'Great Power God King'. This path was slightly narrower than the 'Law and Principle'. It abandoned the construction of a complete worldview and instead turned to the sublimation of 'philosophy', making philosophy concrete as the 'Lord of Philosophy', or it could be called the 'Lord of Destiny' or 'Star God'.

"So that's how it is. A completely new path has emerged. Even if you don't have the talent to construct a cosmology, you can still specialize in one direction and become a 'legal-level' being." Goetia was filled with excitement. Rather than becoming a legal principle to create a new universe, he preferred to become a 'philosophy' to influence and rewrite the existing infinite universe.

At that time, countless companions throughout the universe will walk with him on an ideal path.

The law is to gather great power into one, and one is the universe itself. Philosophy is to spread great power throughout the universe and share it with all beings, and all beings will then endlessly practice this path.

"What?! Why?!" Ishtar exclaimed as if she had swallowed a lemon the size of the Milky Way: "They've worked so hard, and they're finally about to become high-ranking god-kings!"

"I have no objection to the promotions of those guys who are better than me, so why should an outsider be parachuted in?!"

"Waaaaah... It seems I'm not popular at all, waaaaah, I thought everyone would welcome me." The man in the tuxedo wearing a clown crying mask appeared on the throne and cried sadly: "Since no one welcomes me, then I'd better leave."

"..." The four administrators of the Pantheon of Life and Death Time and Space looked at the pretentious Aha with expressionless faces, their fists clenching involuntarily.

The four of them are quite envious now. They are now high-ranking divine kings, and if not strong contenders for the next legal authority, they are certainly aiming for second or third place.

The four of them were originally one, and their life, death, time and space combined formed a complete cosmological prototype. Therefore, the four of them had long been prepared to unite together to share a cosmological view and then share a throne of law and reason.

This kind of gameplay is only possible for those who share the same origin as Phanes; even twins from the same source couldn't pull it off.

For them, only by becoming a legal entity could they get their masters to pay more attention to them. An outsider suddenly appeared above them, and they immediately felt jealous and their mouths went dry.

"Although you exist in the law, if you want to leave, then hurry up and leave." Istaru waved her hand dismissively.

“That’s right, if you want to leave, then leave quickly,” Asmodeus said coldly.

“Agreed,” Jonawa echoed.

“Yes,” Naberius agreed.

"Waaah—Aha, so pitiful!" Aha cried out, "They want to kick me out as soon as I arrive, how heartless! But Aha won't leave, hee hee hee." In the blink of an eye, Aha's crying mask turned into a funny mask.

Then he stood on the throne, bowed to all the gods, and introduced himself like an old gentleman.

"Haha, nice to meet you. My name is Aha. I come from another universe and have now gained the recognition of the great principles of heaven and the great will of the universe. I have been given a destiny of joy in this universe, and I, Aha, am the Lord of Joy, the Star God of Joy. I will bring infinite joy and blessings to finite lives."

"There's no need for introductions, everyone. I already know every single one of you gods. If you want to introduce yourselves, I won't stop you. If you want to learn about pleasure, I can share my power as a messenger with you for free."

Ah, don't forget about the high-ranking gods and kings. In His universe, these people would undoubtedly be candidates for star gods. It's practically a certainty that they will become beings like Him in the future.

"The God of Joy..." Funina said with interest, arms crossed, "So, the god who brings joy? How did that become a legal-level being?"

“Yes, even pleasure can be classified as a legal principle. It seems we need to study this concept of destiny more thoroughly.” Wendy’s eyes shone brightly.

He has already entered the realm of a high-ranking, powerful god-king, and is currently troubled by the construction of a cosmology. He truly has no clue what to do about constructing a cosmology. Now, another philosophical path has appeared, and it seems to be extremely compatible with him.

Hope for the Star God, hope for destiny, it seems quite promising.

“Oh dear, Lady Wendy, if you want to understand your destiny, consult Aha. Aha thinks our personalities are very compatible.” Aha had appeared beside Wendy without her noticing, startling her.

"Uh...hehe." Wendy scratched his head awkwardly: "Lord Aha, I think our personalities are quite different."

Although I've only just come into contact with the concepts of destiny and pleasure, I have a general understanding of what they mean.

Wendy didn't feel happy at all, and did he seem like a comedian? Not at all.

“There are more and more strange gods in the Pantheon.” Artoria looked at Aha with a strange expression. “Let’s eat first, it’s lunchtime.”

As he spoke, a lunchbox larger than a washbasin appeared in his hand, and he began to enjoy it with a satisfied expression.

"Oh dear, oh dear, what a pity! The other divine beings of the Pantheon aren't here, otherwise I could have learned more about what kind of beings they are," Aha said dejectedly, but then his face lit up with a smile. "But Aha isn't sad at all."

"My dear friends, you were just talking about another universe, weren't you?"

“I’m really interested in this Aha. If you have any problems, just ask Aha. Aha will definitely help everyone. Aha is such a helpful star god.” Aha said, patting his chest, but with that comical mask, the credibility was close to zero.

"Really? It seems so unreliable, and the aura of these people is practically permeating the entire Pantheon." He Xi's lips twitched.

She already felt that there were too many gods in the Pantheon, and normal gods were a minority. Now that a god of fun with a legal and rational level has appeared, wouldn't the Pantheon be ruined?

Hmm... probably not, Lord Tenri isn't just for show.

"Ms. He Xi, I'm so sad that you're saying that. I really am good at helping others." Aha appeared in front of He Xi with a mournful face and sobbed. But the next moment, the mask turned into a smiling face with narrow eyes.

"For example, the hand that Aha just heard about, the one that was as big as another galaxy in another universe, was suspected to be the creator of the universe, and you were almost cruelly hurt!" As Aha spoke, he transformed into a giant hand and slapped himself to the ground, turning himself into a painting.

Then the painting floated up: "You must really want revenge, right? You must really want to call for help, right? Call Aha, that's the one! Aha loves helping his friends get revenge."

"By the way, Lord Aha, this seems to be your first time visiting the Pantheon and meeting the gods. When did you become friends?" He Xi said with a smile.

She was also a god of fun. She originally thought that fun was just a part of her personality, but she never expected that the concept of fun could become a philosophical concept god.

It's true, the multiverse is so vast that all sorts of strange things can happen.

"Oh dear, don't say that. Ever since Aha came to this universe, I've believed that Aha will become good friends with all the gods." Aha's mask turned into a shy clown, and his voice became full of thieving: "How about this, Your Excellency He Xi, as a scientist, and also an envoy of the Lord of Heavenly Principles."

"Would you like to secretly experience the power of the Star God?"

"Oh ho~ This thing can be experienced by others?" He Xi was surprised when she heard this, then her expression became somewhat amused: "Lord Aha, you're not just making fun of me, are you?"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood Aha. Aha is the one who's having fun, after all, Aha is the god of fun." Aha looked timid and frightened. "But you're different. You look like you're destined to be a candidate for star god."

"Ahem." Aha coughed, looking at all the gods: "I forgot to mention."

"Although Aha is a star god and the master of destiny, destiny is not bound to Aha, but can be inherited."

"In other words, Aha is just the chairman of the board of directors of the Joyful Destiny. If I don't want to be the chairman anymore, I can designate a successor at any time."

"Maybe Aha will soon want to step down as chairman, and everyone will have a chance to become the next Pleasure Star God."

“Oh~ Is that how destiny works? And you can designate an heir?” Bai Yuekui adjusted his glasses, his eyes full of curiosity and rationality: “But according to the information from the ‘Ladder to Godhood,’ destiny is the ultimate manifestation of philosophy, and the power that can be gained on the path of destiny is strongly correlated with practicing the philosophy itself.”

"Even the Star Gods couldn't possibly designate the next Star God to be someone completely unrelated to the path of pleasure."

“Too small, Your Excellency Bai Yuekui. Your vision is too narrow. Joy resides in everyone’s heart. Becoming the God of Joy might only take a moment,” Aha said.

None of the gods took Aha's words seriously. After all, in the realm of joy, anyone with a comprehension level would know that Aha was the embodiment of fun, the god of fun. They couldn't possibly believe the words of a god of fun.

"Ahem, although what Lord Aha said is very intriguing, in the spirit of scientific exploration, I still want to discuss it with Lord Aha." He Xi coughed.

"Oh~ which part needs Aha's help?" Aha rubbed his hands together like a shrewd waiter.

"How about experiencing the power of the Star God? I won't need it for long, how about a day?" He Xi stretched out her index finger. For a scholar, the opportunity to experience the power of the Law-based level was no less than "hearing the Way in the morning." Of course, there was no "dying in the evening is acceptable." Death was impossible for her; she wanted to use her infinite life to serve the infinite cause of truth.

“…This has stumped Aha.” Aha scratched his head in distress: “Your Excellency Hexi, you can only withstand my full power for a maximum of three minutes.”

"If it exceeds three minutes, I can't guarantee that I won't explode and die."

Now He is a good star god who abides by the order of the universe, and He can't just go around having fun (like how He once gave all His power to an insect for fun, making that insect a star god for a while, and then it exploded).

"Three minutes it is, three minutes is enough." He Xi's smile was as bright as the sun. Ah Ha is such a good god, he is actually willing to share his power.

"No, it's really sharing?" Wendy's eyes lit up, and she quickly raised her hand: "Me, me, me! I want to experience it too! I can't be excluded from such a good thing!"

"Hehehe, no problem, no problem, Aha is always ready to grant your request." Aha laughed, sharing his power with others to be a Star God for a minute. Watching others use that Star God power for a minute to do strange things was a huge deal for him.
