Thinking about it, one might be tempted, but that can only be true if he still retains his self.
All that power would mean nothing if he ended up being a being driven only by instinct and desire.
Anyway, the whole situation is confusing once Noir gets involved. Xavier did not want to deal with that woman.
But ignoring her is not an option.
"So, what are you guys planning?"
"You, Xavier, are our plan."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No, we are not. You also know that Noir is getting stronger the longer you exist. If we don't solve this situation this time round, we might have to go to war."
"…"
Indeed, Ophelia gets stronger loving him while Noir gets stronger hating him.
This kind of thing… how to solve it?
Noir can't die. Her powers only get stronger with destruction and destitution.
Her powers span too large a spectrum to contain them.
Not to mention that her existence is locked and anchored by Ophelia.
One would have to get rid of the other on first before going after the other.
And even then, you have to do it quick lest they revive, resetting everything.
Not to mention, this kind of death is almost impossible.
Noir can stand there and you still won't be able to harm her.
The other option is to go after Xavier and kill him, but that is even less of an option.
Ophelia would go nuts and you'd have two crazy women chasing you.
Not to mention, Xavier was even harder to kill than some gods.
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"We were thinking that maybe you should let Noir turn you?"
"WHAT?!! Are you crazy?
There is no way I'd agree to this kind of bullshit.
Hell, even if I did, would Ophelia allow it?"
"Well, it was her idea…"
"What? Impossible!!"
"Don't be so quick to refute. Do you know why Noir hates you so much?"
"Well, she's Ophelia's opposite. She hates me cause Ophelia loves me, right?"
"There is that, but the opposite of love is indifference not hate."
"…"
"She hates you, cause Ophelia loves you too much."
"…
Isn't that the same thing?"
"Not quite.
Before you appeared, those two sisters had lived for eons together without issue. Then you come along and they can't stop killing each other? Don't you think it is too illogical?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"I think Noir loves you as much as Ophelia does; it is just that her way of expressing it is a little out there."
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Do you know how many times I have had to kill myself because of her? Do you know how many times she's killed me? What kind of love is this?"
*whisper* "Ophelia has also killed you a few times…"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. I mean, this is what Ophelia said and if there is someone who knows Noir, it'd be her, no?"
"Even so…"
"Anyway, hear me out first, you can decide what to do at a later time."
"Oh, okay. You say…"
"Our plan is actually quite simple. We help you become as strong as Noir before the seal breaks, and you can have the capital to deal with her afterward.
If you decide to reseal her or marry her at that time, that'll be up to you."
"Are you insane? Noir is even stronger than Ophelia in a sense. How are you going to make me strong enough to face her?"
"We are going to make you a Transcendent God."
"IMPOSSIBLE!!?"
Transcendent God.
That is an existence that even Primordial Gods have to give face.
To become one, first, one must start from the very bottom. Cultivate from a mere human all the way to godhood.
This in itself is not so difficult. I mean, Xavier had done it a few hundred times.
What is truly difficult is that you cannot rely on the power of faith for divinity.
You have to cultivate your true strength to such a level.
In a world of dungeons, magic, and swords… do you know what that means?
It means leveling up in dungeons.
Where on earth will you find so many top-notch dungeons?
How many level 999 bosses must you kill to level up to godhood?
Not to mention, would other gods stand idly by and let him level up peacefully?
Once he manages to be a Transcendent God, that'll mean that he will shoot directly to the top.
Xavier did not believe that the gods would be willing to have someone above their heads.
You have to know that even Primordial Gods, there are quite a few and they check and balance each other.
But Transcendent Gods… that kind of existence is rare.
Even if the gods don't plan to harm him, it is not difficult to prevent him from becoming a Transcendent God.
All one had to do is help him ascend and he would automatically become an Ascendent God.
There is a huge difference between a transcendent god and an ascendent god.
It is even an insult to compare them like that.
After thinking so long, Xavier could still not figure out what these gods were thinking.
"So, that's why Ophelia sent you?"
"Yeah, others can't be trusted."
"Can you be trusted?"
"…"
"Oh, sorry. I forgot you fear Ophelia more than anyone else."
"…"
"So, what did she ask you to do?"
"She… she… she…"
"She, she what?"
"She asked me to give you this."
Xavier looked at the book handed over by Edarr with wide eyes.
I mean, who still uses bamboo strips? And the name is even more amazing.
The Ancestral Dragon Elephant World Bearing Turtle Chaos Emerald Immortal Phoenix Transformation Technique.
"What the hell is this?"
"…"
Xavier looked at the helpless look in Edarr's eyes and knew that he was just as confused.
The name alone is enough to speak volumes.
Not to mention, what would a Western god know of Eastern cultivation after watching a few animations and reading online novels?
"Don't tell me that your plan revolves around this thing?"
"*Sigh* …"
