Chapter 2213: Somehow a Victory
Chapter 2213: Somehow a Victory
"What just happened?!" One of the developers asked as this was not in the story line that they have envisioned.
"You saw what happened. Even we are puzzled that a scenario like this is possible." One of the watchers replied as they did not expect this development as well.
The people at the headquarters are looking directly at Adrian or rather his transformed self as he ate the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi. They did not expect that a greater god would suddenly be an easy target to the point that he became lunch to a player. This is not
something within their scope as they even prepared to release patches when the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi won.
The development team actually predicted that Adrian and the others will not be able to defeat the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi. The Goddess Nuwa was not enough to help them as she was restricted by being the owner of the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains painting. The scenario that the developers envisioned is Adrian's group losing.
When Adrian's group loses, the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi will also be severely weakened that will be enough for the Goddess Nuwa to trap inside the painting for at least a year. The Goddess Nuwa would then be sealed in a sleep cycle as she would sacrifice her life force to seal the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi. This would in turn result in the faction of the Goddess Izanami to become greater in size and strength in the eastern continent.
The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi would then use the one year that he was trapped to devour the orb of Order and become a being that is an amalgamation of chaos and order. This would then lead to him trying to destroy the gods that belittled him and trapped him for eternity which are the faction of the Goddess Izanami. This scenario was even projected to be the thing that would happen at a 90% rate of happening.
With the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi being devoured completely by the entity that came out of Adrian, the predictions are now leading them to an unknown scenario. This event was supposed to have the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi become an independent god that will go against the Goddess Izanami. The power that the Goddess Izanami amassed in the eastern continent is now difficult for the Four Divine Beasts to contend.
"The Goddess Izanami suddenly collapsed!" One of the observers stated as they were also looking at the Goddess Izanami was doing.
"Why?! What happened?!" One of the head developers asked as she could see that the Goddess Izanami was not in battle nor poisoned.
"If you can see in this graph, her divine essence suddenly dipped." One of the observers stated as he presented the downward spiral of the divine essence that the Goddess Izanami gathered.
"The death of her shadow inadvertently affected her as well." The head developer stated as she managed to deduce what happened.
"What does this mean?" One of the developers asked as they were still in the dark of what could happen in the future.
"This means that the hidden faction of the Goddess Izanami would be incapacitated for months or a year at most. It also meant that the scenario could change and the other gods in the faction might make their moves. Still, the biggest player in that faction is suddenly out of commission which means that they will likely slow down the operations." The head developer stated as she suddenly held her head as she already knew where this is going.
"Please! No!" The other developers shouted as they know that they would need to craft scenarios and other possibilities now that their predicted scenario has vanished.
"He really is a demon! A demon that overworks us!" The developers shouted but they could not hate Adrian because they enjoyed his content the most.
"Will he not exceed the level limit and become the highest-level player? He basically killed a greater god on his own in technical terms." One of the observers asked as she could not be bothered with the image of the wailing developers.
"He did not kill him legitimately as that is not a form that even I know of. Was there someone that coded that? If it is not coded by us or known by us, then there would be no rewards given for defeating. The best he could get is a plentiful source of divine energy which is also disappearing now." The head developer stated as she looked at the charts for Adrian.
"Look at that!" One of the observers stated as Adrian suddenly stopped eating and looked at Paradox.

"Need more! Hungry!" Adrian stated but he already devoured all the parts of the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi.
"Inner master must return back. Your very essence has yet to stabilize and has yet to fully fuse with the main master." Paradox stated as Adrian suddenly looked at it as if he knew the floating ego weapon.
"Still hungry!" Adrian shouted as his form shifted for a split second to something that cannot be described as even humanoid.
"You have already had your fill, inner master. My reserves have all been devoured by you. If you return now, then you might be able to eat more of your delicacy." Paradox stated as if it is a robotic nanny or butler.
"Really!?" Adrian stated as if he suddenly became excited.
"Affirmative. Paradox does not lie." Paradox stated which made Adrian excited as he slowly shifted to his normal humanoid form.
Paradox seemed to know this entity inside of Adrian and even called it inner master. This means that the entity that came out of Adrian is him but just in another form. Adrian's main self suddenly opened his eyes as he recognized that he was now transported back to the real world. He still found it odd as he was busy fighting with shadow monsters inside his subconscious.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Adrian successfully exchanged with his inner self and the latter should now be enjoying a buffet inside the subconscious. Adrian looked around to see that his armor was slowly getting regenerated while his entire body became sore. Paradox swirled around him silently as it often only responds when he asks it a question.
"Where is the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi? And why does my mouth taste like I ate a rubber tire?" Adrian stated as he felt that he wanted to vomit.
"Master defeated the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi." Paradox replied to which shocked Adrian and made him check the logs.
[You have defeated the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi.]
[No experience will be earned because of the effects of Blessing of Valhalla and the unorthodox way of defeating the enemy.]
"The logs tell me that I defeated a greater god, but it did not mention how. How did I defeat the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi?" Adrian stated as he looked at Paradox for answers.
"The master devoured the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi." Paradox replied which made Adrian even look more puzzled.
"How can I even devour a greater god? If that was possible then I would have received a title like God Eater!" Adrian stated as he chuckled out of jest, but several notifications suddenly appeared before him.
[You have devoured the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi.]
[You have received the title God Eater.]
[The gods of Pandemonium are unaware that you have devoured a god as you are inside of a special dimension hidden from their eyes.]
==
Title: God Eater

Description: A title given to an ominous being that can devour a god entirely. Be careful not to suddenly blurt out that you have this title, or all of the gods would bring their pitch forks and
hunt you down, you animal.

"It is true!?" Adrian muttered as he shivered upon reading the description.
"Paradox does not lie, master." Paradox stated.
"How?! I do not even have the mouth to fit in a god! Do not tell me that it happened when I
blacked out?!" Adrian stated.
"Master devoured the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi entirely." Paradox stated.
"Show me footage of what happened." Adrian stated as he took a deep breath.
"All recording functionality has yet to become operational as the system overheated. No data
has been recorded for the past hour." Paradox replied.
"Then did I look different?" Adrian asked Paradox.
"Master is master." Paradox replied.
"I mean did my physical form change?" Adrian asked but he suddenly remembered that
Paradox does not recognize the physical form of others but their energy signatures which
meant that it is useless asking it.
"There have been no changes to the master except for a spike of combined aether and nether energy." Paradox stated which piqued Adrian's interest.
"Small demon child, are you alright?" The voice of Grand Mistress Nu Wa could be heard from
above.
