Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 736 Ruling Rights

Chapter 736 Ruling Rights

Thanks for your guidance, Eternal Darkness!" The dozen pseudo-Ancient Gods shouted in unison.
They bowed their head deep down in front of Nial and didn't lift their head for the next few minutes.
'The hell?'
After defeating the dozen pseudo-Ancient Gods, the fights ended. The small portion of Nial's Army of Devils, and both Infernal Ancients and Asura Mecyrs stopped their fight.
They understood that the battle had to end now, otherwise, someone would be harmed.
The attitude of the two Overlord races of the four Gigalorian Galaxies changed drastically after he defeated the dozen pseudo-Ancient Gods easily.
It didn't take him more than a minute to finish his job, thus showing that he was far stronger and more experienced than them.
Nial was led to the planet that was the closest to them and it didn't take much longer before the wild bunch of pseudo-Ancient Gods regained their consciousness.
Nial was still confused with the change of attitude of the people from the Gigalorian Galaxies, but it was certainly a good thing.
"You wanted to test me, didn't you?" He asked the strongest of the Asura Mecyrs. His lifeless eyes stared unfocused in the man's direction, while he visualized the Asura.
They were taller than humans and there was something special about their eyes. But most importantly, they didn't cultivate in the same way as others. Neither the Asura nor the Infernal Ancients were in possession of a Mana Sea.
They were neither Originals nor Ascenders.
No matter what cultivation method they used, they were extremely powerful. That was a fact.
At first, it looked like the Infernal Devils had been at an advantage, but that quickly changed. Once the Asura and Infernal Ancients grew more accustomed to the abilities and powers of the Devils the tide of the battle changed completely.
It was only thanks to Nial that the Devils were able to avoid getting humiliated, very badly at that.
"We waited for you, way longer than you might think, Eternal Darkness," The strongest Asura said, his hoarse voice filled with nostalgia.
"Our strength increased drastically compared to the Dark Era, but we couldn't - and we still can't - allow just anyone to become our new ruler."
"Fighting against a dozen opponents with roughly the same cultivation progress was merely a small basic test. You could consider it a preliminary round to see if you're combat power is high enough to even consider you as the Eternal Darkness. We wanted to see your usage of his power!"
Nial could tell that Asura was talking about the Late God of Darkness when talking about 'his power'. He wasn't bothered that the Overlords of the four Gigalorian Galaxies wanted to test him.
In fact, it was much better that they tested him rather than blindly following him. This made him feel like they weren't fanatics who would do everything just to please their master.
Nial felt a lot more reassured than he expected.
'Am I getting old?' He wondered, smiling faintly at his thought.
"I see no problem in testing my capabilities and everything else you're curious about. After all, I came here to ask the residents of the four Gigalorian Galaxies to follow me in the fight against the Universe.
I actually want to avoid fighting the Universe but I am pretty sure that the last Advocate of the Pryard lives in their midst. The Advocate is probably connected to every corner of the Universe, which means that I have to fight through the ranks of the Universe to find and kill the last Advocate…" Nial said seemingly lightly, only for his heavy expression to expose his true feelings.
"...but I cannot do that alone."
Nial had the Army of Devils. They were powerful and certainly strong enough to fight hundreds of races at the same time. Nial was pretty sure that the Army of Devils could fight against most Ancients and those below without too many issues.
However, there were also the Divine Gods, beings as strong as the Divine Gods, and the Primordials.
He was in need of more fighting power, and only the Gigalorian Galaxies could provide this power easily.
'Even the Asura and Infernal Ancients were a little rusty in their first clash against the Infernal Devils. All of them are a little rusty, but that can be solved…and once that is actually solved, they're the strongest…'
"Our savior, the God of Darkness, couldn't fight the Universe on his own either. He was in need of support and we gladly supported him. We were - and still are - in his debt. Even though the God of Darkness died a long time ago we never forgot the debt we have to repay.
However, instead of blindly agreeing to follow you, we will have to come to an understanding." The strongest Asura said, pulling Nial out of his train of thought.
Nial tilted his head lightly before he understood what the Asura was talking about.
"You want to test me a little bit more, probably using some means to understand my strength and personality, isn't that right?" He pointed out rather easily.
He figured that the Overlords of the Gigalorian Galaxies had to figure out whether it was too dangerous to follow Nial, if it was better to wait a little longer and become stronger, or if Nial was the type of person that should never accumulate enough strength and forces to possibly rule, or even destroy the Universe.
Many things had to be figured out and it looked like the Overlords would only make their decision afterward.
"If you want our support in the final fight against the Advocate, you will have to overcome the Nightmare Trial, the Trial of Truth, and the Trial of Power, that's correct. Only by passing all three trials will we acknowledge you. This is unrelated to your inheritance of the God of Darkness' Power, and something we would do one way or another. I hope you don't hate us for being careful."
"It's fine. I would probably do the same. The trials may actually help me to find out more about myself, and I really need your help," Nial said quite calmly.
However, deep down, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the first trial.
Nightmare Trials.
Nial felt that this would become quite troublesome.
"Seems like you're eager to start the trials right of the bat. In that case, let's not waste too much of our precious time!" The strongest Asura exclaimed, patting Nial's shoulder before he pushed him into a particular direction.
Nial sighed inwardly but he followed the Asura. There was nothing else he could do. Running away was not an option, not if he wanted the support of the four Gigalorian Galaxies.
Trying to distract himself a little from the upcoming Nightmare trial, Nial changed the topic all of a sudden.
"The Gods of the Gigalorian Galaxies are a little rusty when it comes to fighting Devils, and beings with similar powers, right?" He asked, causing the other ASuras and Infernal Ancients to look at him.
How was his question related to the Trials? Was he trying to mock them before the trials started?
They were not sure what Nial planned, and couldn't fathom that Nial was just a tad worried about the Nightmare Trial.
"In that case, how about you let the Devils beat you up a little?"
"HUH?!"
"..."
