Chapter 89 The Sun in Chaos
Hephaestus walks in chaos.

His movements are stealthy and efficient.

Often in the blink of an eye, he traveled through countless fallen worlds.

and this.

It is the true attitude of a god who stands on the peak and takes his own and universal path to the extreme.

Hephaestus didn't know what happened in this world, and he had no time to care about it.

Since gaining historical authority, he has traveled in countless fallen and broken worlds, recording and accumulating a huge amount of "history".

With the help of these "history", he has reached the limit of his own origin very early, and even surpassed it a lot.

But the limit is the limit. If you can't go beyond it, you can only be trapped by it, wandering around the line it draws, you can retreat, but you can't advance.

The redundant "history" was stored by Hephaestus in the history book that he shared with himself. Later, the history book was filled and stored in the streamer.

just now.

The streamer lights are similarly filled.

……

As the caster of the history book and streamer lamp, Hephaestus knows better than anyone—this is not the limit of the two artifacts, but his.

Time history books and streamers, they were born because of the authority of history, and they have no limit in carrying history.

Hephaestus knew that this embarrassing situation must be broken as soon as possible.

And the "history" stored in the streamer and the history books is what Hephaestus relies on.

He admits that he does not have the wisdom of his good friend Epimetheus, nor the experience of the previous god king Cronus, nor the luck of the god Uranus.

but.

He also has what the three do not have.

As the source of flames, his eternally burning and inexhaustible chaotic nature destined him to be the one with the most uncertain combat power among the gods.

And no matter who the opponent is or how powerful it is, the source of the flame will have a slight possibility to fight and win.

Therefore, wisdom has never been what Hephaestus is good at, but strength is.

If the road ahead cannot be found with his wisdom, skill or even luck, then use absolute and inexhaustible power to blast open its door.

And to attribute all external things to oneself, to be combined with itself, to become a source of fire that burns even itself, is the true meaning of the name Hephaestus since countless worlds in infinite time.

Also—the last and strongest stubborn gesture.

Just like Hephaestus himself, he traced the origin of countless broken worlds. He searched through the past history, and he could only find those few words left by him, and he could only see their brilliant or splendid life, but they were always so indifferent. Find less of their residual strength.

This was also Hephaestus' choice.

When the last moment comes, everything will be abandoned and burned.Whether it is an artifact or a source, if it cannot guarantee its own existence, it will be nothing more than a foreign object after all.

Until there is nothing to burn, until I turn myself into firewood.

So for the god bearing the name of Hephaestus, the road of wandering was the most difficult and impossible road from the beginning.

It's like you're looking for fuel in a pyromaniac's house, do you think, can you find it?

Impossible, it's all burned out.

For most "Hephaestus", this is the last and only means.

When the foreign matter is burned out, the "Hephaestus" who have integrated their own consciousness, divinity, divine power and even the source of authority will inevitably usher in the final swan song.Because this process is irreversible.

But not so for the earthly, present-day Hephaestus.

He is the most special "Hephaestus" in countless worlds of infinite time.

He has humanity...

Not only that, his humanity and divinity are indistinguishable from each other, they are both aspects of him...

Only the combination of the two is his true self.

Divinity and humanity, they together constitute the present "Hephaestus", a Vulcan in charge of history.

But they have always maintained a confrontational posture, and they have always been distinct.

When the two are in harmony, Hephaestus is a burning whole, able to use the last and strongest means of the name "Hephaestus".But when the two are separated, the process is forced to stop.

Whether it is opposition or harmony, it can only be regarded as one aspect of Hephaestus. He can feel that separation is the self, and he can also feel that harmony is the true self. Everything is just his own will.It was his observation and will that determined it all.

Therefore, burning everything is indeed the last and strongest method for Hephaestus today, but it is not the only method.

This posture can even become the norm when the "resources" and "resources" are sufficient.

In the vast chaos, Hephaestus looked behind him.

He has gone far enough, and he is sure that he will not affect the present world, nor will he be the one to be watched on stage.

By his will, the divinity and humanity within him were fused together.They are very close, seamless, and indistinguishable from each other.

Years of history books and streamers appeared on both sides of him, with the unique quaint luster of "history".

This shine fades away quickly.

Just because the history they stored flowed into the body of Hephaestus and became fuel for the combustion.

In an instant, infinite power filled Hephaestus' body, and they quickly broke through the shackles of the body and gushed out of the body, causing Hephaestus' body to crack like a lava field.

Then, they ignite Chaos.

Everything is being burned to ashes by the flames.

At this moment, the closer people are to Hephaestus, the more they will know his horror and feel the fiery and indescribable temperature on his body.

At this moment, he is—the sun!
The sun that should not and cannot exist in the chaos!

Countless broken and fallen worlds were illuminated, and the flames were blazing, and even a few faint rays of light penetrated through the barriers of chaos and spread to the present world.

This was also Hephaestus' choice.

If you can't feed back the roots in a gentle way, walk on the root path.

Then go beyond the limit of one's own existence, forcibly break the shackles, and use infinite power to make the source choose itself.

Anyway, he has already achieved the summed up feedback and purity. At this moment, he has infinite power to feed back, and at this moment, he is burning with his incomparable purity.

As for whether the source accepts it or not, that is its business.

It's best to accept.

If you don't accept it, Hephaestus will use the infinite power at the moment to open up the world in situ, and see what the so-called God of Creation looks like.

Even if he can only create a broken world, he can be regarded as trying a new path.

Anyway, the infinite life of a god is a process of trial and error, endless mistakes can always pile up a correct result.

It only needs to be successful once, and the future will be smooth.
