Chapter 784: Chapter 782-Time To Change Some Plans.
They say there cannot be love without hate, and there cannot be hate without love. If you love someone, you will be capable of hating them one day, and if you hate someone, then maybe you will fall for them someday. After all, history is riddled with stories of the love between the greatest enemies and the most ferocious lovers.
"And that's why much of it was lost for the gods."
The gods are indeed capable of many emotions, but they do not have the league of love or lust, the two main components that make life worth living, being removed as an option itself for the gods, making the most efficient functioning heaven possible. With no connections like that, there would be no love being born or any half-borns existing anymore.
My eyes narrowed as the information, perhaps only I and the highest ones, only know, an information of a past long forgotten even by these new gods, a time before even time was defined, a situation being corrected that led to the current situation, one where the gods just live by. They have all the entertainment they can ask for.
But they don't have the love they will be able to keep with them, and that is the saddest part of all within this. And here comes I, the one that can give all these gods the one thing missing in their life, and it's the bloom coming from my blooming, along with the vitality of my soul, my soul itself being the mark that lifts the restrictions on the fully divine.
"And now I can wield that ability even at a higher level."
As I thought of this, an ability corresponding to the gods appeared before me.
**Ability: The Paradox of Passion**
**Rank: ???**
**Description:**
"The Paradox of Passion embodies the intertwined nature of love and hate, illuminating the duality of emotions that bind and break even the strongest of beings. With this ability, you become a catalyst for emotional upheaval, igniting the passions that lay dormant within the hearts of gods and mortals alike.
When activated, this ability draws on the intimate understanding of the connection between love and hate, creating a surge of conflicting emotions that can be felt by those in your presence. You can invoke powerful waves of affection that are layered with tension, turning even the deepest bonds into an intricate dance of desire and conflict.
And then the next moment, they might even try to torture me for fun to see how much they will be able to push their emotions for me. The funny thing is the fact that even for the divine on the other side, the concept of love and lust cannot be put into place. Here, I have this level of protection from the supremes.
But that won't be the case there. There, I won't even be able to tell how the chaos would unfold in that place, walking in there right now without having the ability to be fully protective against the gods would be just foolish. There is also the fact that I am still not used to all of my powers. Sure, I have them, but I am not proficient yet in using all this power, which would only drag me down.
Thus, for now, I will have to bind my time here to this side. Though I would eventually venture into chaos, I now have the ability to do that, but it would be after I settle some things. Also, the moment I enter the region of chaos, in a sense, would be epic, one that will happen in front of everyone and one that will be of very much use to me.
A small evil chuckle left my mouth as my mind started to work in full drive, trying to create more plans in my mind, plans of manipulation that would make me into the true hero and one that would put those so-called protagonists into chaos. Before, I wasn't even widening my full approach; now, onwards, I will be going full out.
Plus, now having a faint glimpse idea of why I must target these protagonists, my hesitation that I am trying to hurt some good guys is being removed from my mind, the limiters that were on my body preventing me from taking some drastic actions being removed away as I thought of how to use everything I have.
My mind flashed towards that book, the very book I planned to use at the end to hold my harem together from falling apart or even trying to kill each other. A smile filled my face as I thought of the ways I would even be able to use the gods to my advantage.
A certain scene flashed within my mind, a scene of me ruling over the heavens. With what I
have, it won't even be hard to make all the gods of heaven, which are women, to be mine, ones that will go crazy to be with me, ones that will get addicted to the touch of love and lust that they won't be able to feel towards the other living beings.
It also paints the picture of why all the divine beasts are also alone too. With their position and power, they should have had millions of kids by now, yet not even one of them has a spouse or kid, which means with the fact that even if you are not a born divine, once you enter upon the divine, the two main things that make you live are ripped away from you.
My eyes flashed for a moment, the image of a beautiful phoenix filling my eyes, one of the
very last. Legends say that phoenixes are a very passionate race, especially when they start to
love.
"Looks like I will have to broaden my plans once again."
