Chapter 162: Gods Be Killed, and They Die!

  Matthew g Tai Ji dismissively. He knew his absorption speed wasn’t fast enough, and the capacity of his soul was limited.

  It ractically impossible to absorb all that fate power in such a short time!

  If Tai Ji, exhausted and weakened as she was, mao absorb even a small portion, she could use her divirength and high status to recreate the se from earlier!

  So, Matthew had no iion of h all the fate power for himself.

  The brilliant blue fate power passed through Matthew’s soul and into the weakened Yaya via their life bond.

  Yaya, already frail and drained from the earlier battle, began to rapidly strengthen as she absorbed the fate power.

  Her previously weak soul was quickly reinforced!

  And to Matthew’s surprise, as Yaya’s soul power increased,

  The feedback he received further strengthened his own soul's resilience.

  His trol over the power of time also grew stronger.

  As his soul digested more of the fate power, he could transfer even more to Yaya!

  They were mutually reinf each other, tinuously growing stronger!

  This created a positive feedback loop.

  Just like when they first fed their life bond!

  Together, they devoured the dazzling fate power at an astonishing pace.

  Seeing this, Tai Ji felt an inexplicable panic.

  As the fate power dwindled, her curses and rradually weakened, eventually fading into cold silence.

  She stared ily at Matthew and Yaya!

  Finally, all the fate power was ed, being nourishment for the growth of Matthew and Yaya’s souls.

  Tai Ji, who had remained calm until now, suddenly went mad.

  She burst out from the depths of Matthew’s soul, g and snarling, trying to tear these two wretched souls apart!

  "This is impossible! How could two lowly souls possibly wield the power of fate?"

  "Give it back! Give it all bae!"

  "I will bring you the most miserable fate; I will make yret this for all eternity."

  In Tai Ji's mind, even though Matthew and Yaya’s souls had strengthened, she still believed that as a god, even reduced to a mere fragment, they could never resist her will.

  After all, she was a god!

  But things did not go as Tai Ji had expected.

  Matthew's soul opes eyes once more—there was no panio fear, no mockery, no pride.

  He simply looked calmly at the onrushing Tai Ji.

  At that moment, a small crack appeared on Matthew’s forehead, and a faint gray light silently fell upon Tai Ji's face!

  Tai Ji, with her grotesque expression, froze as the intangible power of time enveloped her pletely.

  She couldn’t move an inch!

  Matthew slowly desded, staring ily at the twisted and snarling remnant of a soul before him.

  Feeling his soul's energy rapidly depleting, he reached out as Tai Ji watched in disbelief.

  He grasped her in his hand.

  "Thank you for the gift of your memories, which taught me how to trol and absorb the power of fate."

  "And I must also thank you fuiding me on how to manipute fate, rather than being driven by it."

  From the moment Matthew began using "Fate's Choice," tless events and enters had been orchestrated and maniputed by Tai Ji.

  For a long time, Matthew even believed these were his own thoughts and pns!

  This was another of Tai Ji's powers:

  The power to dictate and arrahers' fates!

  Seemingly free individuals, uhis power, couldn't even muster the will to resist or struggle.

  Hearing Matthew’s calm words, Tai Ji, uo break free from the encirg time, was filled with fear.

  She had never expected that Matthew would find such crucial memories among the tless chaotic, fragmented recolles!

  Regret flooded Tai Ji's heart.

  If she hadn’t been so greedy, trying to devour Matthew all at ond indulging iwisted desire for revenge and torment, how could she have lost such vital memories?

  "How could he be so lucky? I am the Goddess of Fate!"

  Tai Ji roared in defiaruggling madly.

  Her already broken face became even more fragmented, but all she could do was create faint ripples in the barrier of time.

  However, what she didn’t know was that the wearied expression in Matthew’s eyes was not due to the luck she imagined!

  To accurately obtain the power to trol fate, he had painstakingly bed through nearly half of the Goddess of Fate’s chaotic memories.

  With the help of time, and at the risk of his willpower nearly colpsing, he had finally found these crucial memories!

  Of course, Matthew wasn’t about to share that with Tai Ji.

  He simply watched her calmly, letting her exhaust what little power she had left.

  Suddenly, Tai Ji stopped her frantic struggles.

  Even though her twisted face was now almost ethereal, she still mao sneer, speaking in a cold, triumphant tone:

  "You almost had me fooled! But so what if you have mastered the power of fate?"

  "With your abilities, you ’t hurt me in the slightest; you 't even scratch me!"

  "But our souls are one. As long as you tio wield the power of fate, my strength will gradually recover."

  "Your time power 't hold me forever!"

  "I wait!"

  "You have no choice but to maintain the power of time. You won’t grow any stronger, and I will wear you down!"

  "You're doomed!"

  Tai Ji’s face was filled with post-crisis triumph and arrogance.

  She couldn’t help but ugh, eager to see the terror on Matthew’s face, but all she saw was him nodding.

  Her heart skipped a beat—somethi wrong, but all she heard was Matthew’s calm reply:

  "I know."

  The unease in Tai Ji’s heart grew stronger and stronger. Uain of what Matthew’s move would be, she couldn’t help but taunt him:

  "You ’t keep the time barrier up forever, and you ’t stop the fate power from seeping in!"

  "Whether you kill or save, you’ll actively or passively gain fate power."

  "As soon as it appears, I seize trol of it pletely. I’ll grow stronger and stronger, while you’ll be stu pce!"

  "One day, your body will belong to me!"

  Matthew nodded in agreement, thely patted Tai Ji’s twisted face.

  He wasn’t m the loss of time power!

  He was relut to let the special knowledge in Tai Ji’s mind disappear.

  Yet he still sighed i, uttering words that filled Tai Ji with terror:

  "You're right; I ’t kill you."

  "Doing so would be the same as killing myself."

  "But I don’t o harm you. On the trary, I o thank you!"

  As Matthew spoke, the once radiant and brilliant soul dimmed siderably. The faint crack between his brows gushed out more time power!

  "Thank you for allowio experiehe power of fate. It was a valuable lesson."

  "Iurn, I’ll let you experiehe power of time!"

  "My mother once said that not even gods resist the erosion of time!"

  "She also said that gods be killed, and they die!"
