Chapter 408 The Past of [Absolute Defense], told personally by the Son of the True God!
The small restaurant fell silent instantly. All the children of the righteous gods present sat up straight, their eyes fixed on [the scene].
Overpressure disintegration
Everyone's eyes revealed extreme interest, even a longing.
You should know that normally when people ask [Overpressure Collapse] to tell them about the past of [Absolute Defense], [Overpressure Collapse] is always unwilling. Today, He has actually decided to tell them, which is extremely rare.
Only [Necessary Fist] let out a low, cold snort, seemingly having seen through [Overpressure Collapse]'s trick and knowing that He wanted to use it to further win over Xiafa.
Even the "Necessary Fist" was actually very eager to hear about the past of the "Absolute Defense" that He most admired, so he actually refrained from interrupting.
That's right, although the father of [Necessary Fist] is [Paradox Joker], what He most admires is [Absolute Defense].
As for [Overpressure Collapse] himself, he naturally admires his father the most.
Interestingly, the "Playful Traveler," who is the "son" of the "Error Rules," actually idolizes the "Paradox Clown" the most. He used to often pester the "Paradox Clown" to ask him about various secret contract development techniques and tactical strategies.
However, that happened more than 10,000 years ago.
[Overpressure Collapse] seemed quite satisfied with everyone's reaction, especially with [Necessary Fist]'s awkward posture of wanting to stop but also wanting to listen. This gave it a unique sense of pleasure, so it tapped the table with its knuckles, making two "tap-tap" sounds, and slowly opened its mouth.
"I'm sure everyone has heard of my father's exploits. He once single-handedly wiped out more than 600 Gold Cleaners."
Having uttered his first sentence, He deliberately glanced at [Necessary Fist], then continued, "It's a pity that even we only recently found out about this, otherwise, hmph—"
[Overpressure Collapse] Although He didn’t finish speaking, all the children of God present understood the meaning behind His words.
More than ten thousand years ago, before the false nine true gods replaced the real nine true gods, and before the children of the true gods were urgently sealed away in that place by the [Nature Monarch], the greatest debate among the people was about [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Clown].
The question of who is stronger.
After all, the children of the true gods were born after the Great Old Ones were wiped out, and they did not witness the magnificent and extraordinary era that their fathers had lived through.
That is to say, they never actually witnessed their parents going all out.
Even the children of the true gods had never seen it, let alone the others at that time.
The battle involved the true gods and the Great Old Ones, and even the Celestial Venerable dared not stand by and watch.
However, in both the real world and the Protoss realm, there are always rumors that after the Great Old Ones were wiped out, Absolute Defense and Paradox Jester had a special battle that ended in a draw.
This has led to a debate surrounding which of their fathers was stronger since the creation of [Overpressure Collapse] and [Necessary Fist].
Not to mention that they themselves wanted to determine who was better on this issue, even if they didn't want to, the discussions of others forced them to pay attention.
Because of this debate, [Overpressure Collapse] and [Necessary Fist] also regarded each other as rivals. In the more than 10,000 years from their birth until they were urgently sealed by [Nature Monarch], either [Overpressure Collapse] was superior to [Necessary Fist], or [Necessary Fist] was superior to [Overpressure Collapse].
It was only recently, when they were first transferred from that place to that completely safe little world, and then, upon hearing of the shocking changes in the outside world, they voluntarily chose to re-enter the world, that they learned from the Ninth True God the secrets about the true and false gods and the Golden Cleanser from more than ten thousand years ago.
Therefore, the debate about whether [Absolute Defense] or [Paradox Joker] is stronger has come to an end—after all, [Paradox Joker] couldn't possibly deal with and annihilate more than six hundred Golden Cleaners at the same time.
However, [Overpressure Collapse] and [Necessary Fist] have a long-standing feud and neither is willing to concede to the other.
[Necessary Fist] naturally understood the meaning behind [Overpressure Collapse]'s words, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips, but unusually, he did not refute it.
There was no way around it; He was too eager to hear about Uncle Absolute Defense's past. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, He would have already refuted it, and might even have immediately engaged in a battle with Overpressure Collapse.
"I brought this up for no other reason than that," [Overpressure Collapse] smiled again at everyone, "It's mainly because it's related to my father's past, which I'm about to tell you about."
No one voiced any objection; they all gazed at Him intently.
"As everyone knows, my father is the strongest among the true gods, whether in the past or present, whether in the era of mutants, magicians, or superhumans. He is the strongest, and perhaps only the legendary Sun God King is slightly stronger than him."
"Then, even when Father was only a quasi-Celestial Venerable, he should have been able to deal with the Old Ones. So why did He wait until He became a true god before choosing to emerge and turn the tide?"
The children of the righteous gods have also pondered this question, especially after recently hearing about [Absolute Defense] from the Ninth Righteous God.
After learning about his true strength, he became even more puzzled.
Yes, when Uncle was an Outer God, he might not have been able to deal with the Great Old Ones, but he should be able to handle it now that he's a Quasi-Celestial.
In particular, there is a Celestial Venerable between Quasi-Celestial Venerable and True God. To exaggerate a bit, after Uncle Absolute Defense became a Celestial Venerable, he could slaughter the Old Ones like chickens, except for some who were really hard to track down.
But why did He wait until He became a true god before choosing to take action against the old rulers?
Is He afraid of something?
But what was there that he, as the Celestial Venerable at the time, would be wary of?
At this moment, seeing that the [Overpressure Collapse] was about to reveal this secret, even the children of the righteous gods became somewhat nervous.
[Overpressure Collapse] continued with a smile, "The reason is actually quite simple."
"Perhaps it's because I'm connected to my father by blood, after learning about the existence of the Golden Cleaners, I unintentionally activated a dream divination through my bloodline while I was sleeping."
"In that dream divination, I witnessed my father's experiences before he became a god."
The children of the gods are no strangers to the situation mentioned in [Overpressure Collapse]. They have occasionally experienced this themselves, and several of them even mastered their divine battle techniques unintentionally in this way. That's right, it happened when they dreamed of their fathers developing divine battle techniques.
Xia Fa became increasingly curious, and at the same time, he had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't know if these guesses were correct.
[Overpressure Collapse] At this moment, he sighed softly: "This actually happened just a few days ago. It was then that I learned that there were already Golden Cleaners 30,000 years ago."
"And my father, after becoming an Outer God, was constantly hunted down by a Golden Cleanser."
"I don't know how the Golden Cleanser targeted Him, but in any case, He deliberately fled towards the depths of the Protoss Realm to avoid implicating others."
"During this life of escape, when He became a Quasi-Celestial Being, the Golden Cleansers who were hunting Him numbered three."
"Even though He faced such pursuit every day and spent every day in life-or-death crisis, He still became a Celestial Venerable. Yet the number of Golden Cleansers who were hunting Him also increased to more than fifty."
More than fifty?
The children of the righteous god gasped in unison, never expecting that Uncle [Absolute Defense] would be so powerful!
Or perhaps they already knew He was incredibly powerful, but never imagined that He had such a legendary past before becoming a true god.
Starting from the Outer God, he was hunted down by a Golden Cleanser of the True God rank. He was hunted down all the way to Quasi-Celestial Venerable, then to Celestial Venerable, and then the number of Golden Cleansers hunting him increased to more than fifty.
The children of the true gods present asked themselves, if it were them, let alone being hunted down by more than fifty Golden Cleansers, even if just one came, they would die!
In this situation, Uncle [Absolute Defense] not only survived, but also attained the position of a true god.
It's important to understand that ascending from a Celestial Venerable to a True God is no simple matter. Not only is the probability of losing control and going insane extremely high, but one also needs to complete the True God ritual guided by spiritual intuition!
And Uncle Absolute Defense actually accomplished all of this while being chased by more than fifty Golden Cleaners—
They were truly forged and grew through blood and fire!
Xia Fa was deeply shocked as he listened.
He never expected that the Lord of Absolute Defense would have such a poignant and fierce past.
"In other words, during this relentless pursuit, Lord Absolute Defense was unable to break free, and seeing that humans, demi-humans, as well as the Nature Monarch and the Supreme Law, were about to be annihilated by the Great Old Ones, at this extremely critical moment, He finally broke through and became a true god—"
"That's right, and then Father immediately turned the tables and killed those fifty-odd Golden Cleansers, arrived at the last line of defense between humans and demi-humans, rescued [Nature Monarch] and Uncle [Supreme Law], and killed [Fallen Evil]."
[Overpressure Collapse] Speaking of this, I can't help but sigh: "There's a folk saying that a tiger father begets no dog son, but why am I not that fierce? Sigh, if I were that powerful, I would already be supporting Uncle [Paradox Clown]."
Xia Fa also discovered this problem. Among the nine righteous gods, [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker] may possess overwhelming power due to their shared origin.
However, their two sons, namely [Overpressure Collapse] and [Necessary Fist], are much like other children of the true gods.
Why is that?
"What if I have a son with Chestnut in the future, and he won't be able to inherit my vigorous spirit?"
Xia Fa thought about it with some worry, but he also knew that this matter was still far off.
After all, if a way to deal with those more than 10,000 gold cleaners cannot be found within a year, then all talk is just empty talk.
With a "click," the door opened, and graceful maids dressed in luxurious robes walked in, carrying trays of dishes from the old banquets.
The so-called Great Feast of the Old Ones is a top-notch delicacy made from various supernatural creatures and extraordinary fruits and vegetables cultivated using the remains of the Old Ones as nourishment.
This afternoon, when Xia Fa went to the banquet, the other gods who had adventured with him in the inverted pyramid pooled their money to treat him to this meal.
However, due to limited funds, only three dishes were served at the old banquet, and they were reluctant to eat them, so they let Xia Fa eat them instead.
Xia Fa didn't eat it all by himself; after some polite refusals, they shared it together.
Now, the old feast in my stomach has been mostly digested, and the main thing is that the burning feeling in my heart is starting to return, so I need to replenish a lot of extraordinary ingredients.
So now is the perfect time to have a big meal.
As the old feasts were served, some were quite gruesome, consisting of stewed octopus tentacles and pig eyeballs, while others looked like fragrant meat patties fried on both sides. Along with other various old delicacies, the table was filled with them.
Xia Fa counted at least thirty rounds, and couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of the children of the righteous gods.
Even if I were to use all my savings, except for the things I can't sell, I probably still wouldn't be able to afford such a grand feast from the past, while the children of the righteous gods probably eat it every day.
Immediately, he began to follow aristocratic etiquette, taking a knife and fork and eating.
After taking only a few bites, Xia Fa felt it wasn't enough, so he simply conjured up a pair of chopsticks. The children of the gods didn't find it strange, after all, the real world plus the Star Spirit Realm was just too vast, and dining customs varied from place to place, which was normal.
As they were eating, the [Playful Traveler] stood up first, holding a glass of wine in both hands, and turned to Xiafa.
"【Absolute Attack】Brother, come on, let me toast you. We're brothers, bottoms up! Hahaha!"
Xia Fa was somewhat surprised, but he still quickly stood up, held the wine glass in both hands, and clinked it against his sleeve.
To his surprise, when the [Playful Traveler] offered a toast, the rim of his glass was deliberately half a meter lower than his.
This was a sign of great respect for him, and no matter how indifferent Xia Fa was to worldly matters, he couldn't help but feel quite pleased.
Immediately afterwards, [Flame Princess], [Dismemberment Giant Axe], and [Gummy Fairy] also stood up to toast Xia Fa.
Previously, everyone was either discussing serious matters or listening to [Overpressure Collapse] recount Uncle [Absolute Defense]'s past, and there hadn't been a proper opportunity until now. Now that it's finally a suitable time, they naturally began to show goodwill towards Xia Fa.
Long before Xia Fa arrived, the children of the righteous gods had already heard of Xia Fa's incredible feat, that he had actually withstood a punch from [Overpressure Collapse] with his divine body.
Even though [Overpressure Collapse] restrained its own power and only exerted the strength of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, it was still incredibly incredible.
In particular, they, as children of the true God, understand even more what this means.
This means that Xia Fa possesses the same potential as [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker] in their youth, and has the potential to become the strongest true god!
You should know that even these children of the true gods do not possess the qualities of the strongest true gods; at most, they are lucky if they have the qualities of a true god.
Therefore, even though Xia Fa is currently only a god and does not even have the right to act with them, it does not prevent everyone from showing him goodwill and respect.
The children of the true gods were prepared to die when they decided to re-enter the world. Therefore, Xiafa was the seed for them to continue their extraordinary civilization.
Or perhaps, the partners who have fought side by side for the past few months will only remain until Shafa grows a bit more and becomes an Outer God.
Seeing that everyone had finished toasting, but only [Necessary Fist] hadn't made a move, [Overpressure Collapse]'s expression turned cold, and he was about to say something.
Just then, the [Observer of All Things], which had been hovering above the dining table, shuddered and slowly opened its eyes, with countless streams of information flashing through them in an instant.
