Chapter 759 Greatest Destiny

\'I don\'t want to look down on your strength, but a soon-to-be Half-step Divine Being is far stronger enough to interfere in a battle between Peak Rank 6 Divine Beings. You\'ll die without an intact corpse before you can do anything to shift the tides of battle in my favor.\'

\'As such, I fail to understand where your source of confidence comes from,\' Hecate raised her doubt.

However, Vaan wasn\'t in a hurry to enlighten her.

\'Lady Hecate, you mentioned that an all-out battle between you and Abaddon would end in mutual destruction,\' Vaan mentioned before asking, \'However, this is under the assumption that you are both in peak states, correct?\'

\'That\'s right!\' Hecate acknowledged.

\'Then what about an Abaddon with an injured divine soul? How confident would you be in killing him and surviving then?\' Vaan inquired further.

\'Around fifty percent,\' Hecate frowned.

\'Still only fifty percent, huh? Then what if Abaddon suffers a sudden, strong spiritual attack during your battle? How confident would you be in killing him during that moment?\' Vaan asked.

\'Then, it would be a hundred percent,\' Hecate answered confidently before saying, \'However, there\'s no point in asking these hypothetical situations. Abaddon\'s divine soul wouldn\'t just be magically harmed to our advantage.\'

\'Or, are you implying that you can hurt his divine soul to such a degree?\' Hecate asked with doubt.

\'Indeed, that is exactly what I was implying. However, I will also need something from you in order to make it work, Lady Hecate,\' Vaan said, arousing Hecate\'s curiosity.

\'Oh? And what would that be?\' Hecate asked.

\'Didn\'t you previously mention you obtained Abaddon\'s left arm and 10,000 drops of his divine blood, Lady Hecate? What do you think would happen to Abaddon if I destroyed all the traces of divine will in these 10,000 drops of divine blood with my Nihility Law?\' Vaan asked with interest.

Even he wanted to know the extent of its effect.

After all, the Fifth Progenitor and Eighth Progenitor each only possessed ten drops of divine blood\'s worth of Abaddon\'s divine will.

However, 10,000 drops of divine blood was a thousandfold of that!

If Abaddon suddenly lost such a huge amount of divine will at once, wouldn\'t it be comparable to a powerful soul attack?

Furthermore, in a battle between experts, a momentary lapse in focus could ultimately cost one\'s life!

Nevertheless, Hecate\'s reaction was one that Vaan did not expect.

\'Nihility Law? You know the Nihility Law? How much of the Law of Nothingness have you comprehended?\' Hecate quickly asked with shock.

\'Up to the Peak Demigod rank for now…\' Vaan answered after a moment of contemplation before fishing for information, \'You seem quite surprised about it, Lady Hecate.\'

\'Surprise is an understatement. I\'m shocked, Sir Vaan,\' Hecate replied.

\'You have repeatedly amazed me despite our short exchange. With the Nihility Law, I am certain Abaddon won\'t be able to escape his death if we work together. However, you should refrain from showing off your Nihility Law in the future, especially in Chaos.\'

\'That\'s if you don\'t want to bring disaster upon yourself,\' Hecate warned.

\'You seem to know something that I don\'t. Do you mind elaborating on the Nihility Law, Lady Hecate? What does comprehending the Nihility Law entail?\' Vaan sincerely asked.

For some reason, Hecate found it hard to reject his request, even though she knew she could use her knowledge to acquire additional benefits from him.

She could only attribute it to Vaan\'s soul being pleasing to her eye.

\'The Nihility Law isn\'t a law that just anyone can comprehend— those who do, possess the supreme destiny of an Origin Creator and stand above the heavens. However, don\'t look at this as a good thing. Not everyone can fulfill their destinies, let alone one as grand and envious as the Nihility Law entails.\'

\'More often than not, beings would perish before fulfilling their destinies; the greater the destiny, the higher the risk of failing. Your destiny to become an Origin Creator could be said to be the greatest destiny of all. You\'ll undoubtedly attract heaven\'s envy and tribulations.\'

\'The Nihility Law will attract countless powerful beings to end you or exploit you—should they learn of it,\' Hecate solemnly said.

Vaan took a moment before he realized the severity of the matter.

Due to his heaven-defying talents, there was nothing he couldn\'t understand and learn. He didn\'t expect the Nihility Law to be far rarer than he had initially imagined.

\'Comprehending the Nihility Law is taboo in almost all of Chaos due to its bad history with Nihility Law users. After all, the Nihility Law has the heaven-defying power to decompose everything into its most basic, purest, or primal form of energy and essence.\'

\'Nihility Law users have devoured entire stars and planets for their cultivation. They are the Destroyers of celestial bodies,\' Hecate added.

As Hecate explained the dangers of Nihility Law users, Ophelia felt she had learned something she shouldn\'t have. She couldn\'t help but feel a sense of danger.

She wouldn\'t be silenced to keep the secret, would she?

Surprisingly, the sense of danger didn\'t come from Vaan but from Hecate. As such, Ophelia found it hard to believe, considering their relationship was quite amicable and friendly.

She would never expect Hecate to pick Vaan over her.

\'So about my previous offer…\' Vaan mentioned after confirming that Hecate didn\'t bear him ill despite learning some of his secrets.

Undoubtedly, his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura must have influenced her Dark Fairy Demon Bloodline to some extent.

Nevertheless, he still had some doubts regarding Hecate\'s origins.

Given her deep knowledge and high talent, he could not help but suspect her background was not as simple as it appeared.

\'I accept, of course,\' Hecate stated before continuing, \'I will help you deal with Abaddon if you promise me all that—and agree to one condition of mine: You have to visit my Dreamdust Territory at least once after everything is settled.\'

\'Sure,\' Vaan saw no reason to refuse.

He also wished to learn more about Hecate, Gehenna, and Chaos. Given Hecate\'s vast knowledge, she was naturally the best person to seek.

Rumble…!

Suddenly, the black pillar sealing the crimson light domain shook several dozen times stronger than the previous times. Without a doubt, it must have been an attack from Abaddon.

Although the black pillar remained stable for the time being, Vaan doubted it would stay that way if it continued to receive such powerful impacts.

As such, his expression immediately turned somber.

\'Lady Hecate, how long will it take you to reach the Evernight Territory?\'

\'Are you in a hurry?\'

\'It seems Abaddon suddenly decided to descend on this side. I\'m afraid the seal obstructing his entry will not last long under his repeated assault.\'

\'What!? I will leave at once! Whatever you do, you must do your best to survive until I arrive!\'

\'Alright.\'

Vaan softly sighed.

By the looks of it, Hecate would take some time to arrive—but not before Abaddon descended upon their world. Even though he had acquired Hecate\'s cooperation, he still had to face Abaddon.

There was no escaping his tribulation.
