Bai's sword stopped just an inch from his forehead. "Hm!" Bai scoffed. Bai twisted his sword pointing towards the Sword God "I won't fall for your trick, impostor."
The Sword God lifted an eyebrow, calming saying "So you had discovered it, eh?"
"Of course. Your sole existence negates divinity. It's impossible for me to attain godhood following you, I will defeat you and continue forward. You're not a true god! I " Bai stated squinting his eyes.
"Ho?" The Sword God smiled lightly, not an ounce of surprise as he observed Bai.
Bai squinted his eyes "I see you're too calm for the situation."
"It is not like it change anything. Also, you are not the first one to grasp ourself" The Sword God calmly answered "Could we know when you started you suspect us? For curiosity."
"Your form to communicate and your trial of the sword fragments were highly suspicious. However, it could be that you are a strange god." Bai explained "The first important clue was my time with Tao Yi. He had given all his life to the sword attaining the supreme peak, but even him was constrained. Then, the main clue was when I fused with Mayi. Instead of us becoming stronger, it caused a great weakening, Mayi totally unable to use her divinity. Finally, Renxue's reaction seeing me after she became a goddess made it clear that she learned about you, that I would be unable to become a god following you. Once I met Lingling, I was completely sure of it."
"It was since then, eh?" The Sword God though over "Normal that you did not want to sacrifice your mother for me, having so many doubts about me. With so many hints, of course, you will doubt us."
"It is all the fault of those gods, too many interactions with this lower world" the Sword God grumbled "Seeing the comparison, it is easy to sense that something is wrong. If you and we had been faster."
"What is your plan?" Bai squinted his eyes.
"Now that we are discovered, there is no need to hide it. We are the God Sword" the God Sword stated "Of course, we are not the god. We are the weapon formed by countless sword souls. We are a weapon able to absorb divinity, absorbing it from any sword user using our fragments. Like this, our fragments made it impossible for other people to ascend while our strength grows absorbing their comprehension and selves. The game of the fragments is only for this, a method to grow stronger."
"To keep up us becoming stronger from time to time we find a talented body, you in this case." The God Sword smirked "We make him or her collect the fragments and complete our true body. Once we are completed, we take control of his body. With our enormous strength and an apt body, we take control of the continent, showing the full might of the sword arts and making them popular again for the next generations. Then, we simply broke down in fragments and continue this cycle. Only for the sake of becoming stronger."
"You're mad" Bai said with contempt.
"We are a combination of countless swords souls, every soul that touched our fragments and died with them. Madness might be normal for us. Hehehe!" The God Sword's face twisted laughing.
"Even with all this time, we are not able to face true gods," the God Sword said "At most, we could be able to fight a 2nd rank god, but 1st class or god-kings are too strong from us. That is why our plan was to kill the inheritors before the could reach that state."
"Why? Why? Why?..." the God Sword trembled, bending his body in a madly way "Why so many gods are moving in this age?" He calmed down "We did not expect Gluttony, someone whose only interest is food to act, that let you doubt our existence. If it were not for him moving, you would have killed your own mother and we would have taken control of your body, killing all the other god's inheritors."
"Hahaha!" the God Sword started maniacally laughing "It is not like it would have been the first time. Gods hate us, but there is nothing that they could do, always limited by their stupid laws" He laughed loudlier "While we do not affect the overall equilibrium, causing the destruction of the world, they are unable to do anything".
His face twisted in anger, seemingly a demon that surged from hell as his body contorted "Why could you not be quicker? Kill! Kill! Kill all of them, showing our strength!"
Suddenly, his body fell, hanging like if he was dead. He slowly stood up, his face was impassive and cold, no emotion reflected in it "That is more or less the summary. Take it as a reward for you to obtain the Asure Sword making us stronger" He answered calmly.
"Do not think it would help you with anything. Once a fragment is located inside you, it is game over. You are ours. It does not matter how strong you become as the fragment would grow with you. Knowing our identity or not, fighting against us or running away. The result is the same, being part of us" The God Sword stated " You are unable to cultivate any divinity, making it unable to escape from us. It was your destiny since the day that the sword fragment fell into your hands."
"If it's so, I will change my destiny" Bai clenched tightly his sword "Gods might be unable to kill you, but I will do it. I will kill you from the interior and make you my own power!" A multicolored aura surged from Bai.
The God Sword's face became furious "Blasphemy!" "hehehehe!" He started laughing madly "You think that you are able to face us, what a joke!" His face turned cold "Face millions of years of sword arts"
"Brrrr!" The swords all over the space started shining brightly. Hundred of thousands of swords congregated forming two round blocks over 1 kilometer wide. One exploded with powerful raging flames while the other with calm and imperturbable water waves
The God Sword's face became hideous "Fire and Water. Die!" Both balls shot towards Bai, fusing each other in mid-air, their strength multiplicating.
"BOOOM!" A great explosion occurred, devasting over 10 kilometers.
"Swing!" A sword sliced over the explosion, revealing Bai with his sword at hand with Chaos intent all over him. Bai charged towards the God Sword, erratically swinging his sword and moving his body like if he was dancing, his eyes glinting with gray light. Before, he was completely unable to resist his own Chaos Intent. However, now this changed thanks to Hei Qi's eyes.
Hei Qi's Death Eyes could see Death all over, manifesting like lines and nodes showing the Death of anything. Once Bai absorbed them, they had evolved to Chaotic Eyes. He was able to perceive and adapt to the Chaos. While he was unable to perfectly control it, relying too much in them, he didn't need to worry much for auto injuring himself.
He could see how the world opened before him, being able to grasp its own foundation. Nothing could escape his eyes.
Bai kicked the ground dashing at great speed towards the God Sword. Countless swords were dancing all over him, trying to pierce his aura but they were unable.
Reaching the God Sword, Bai lifted his sword "Fall into madness!
"Ha!" the God Sword sighed, his face seemed old and tired, his gaze was like an old man looking at a child. Over his hand, a gray sword appeared. The God Sword swung it meeting Bai's attack.
Both swords clashed and Bai's attack was dispersed, Bai was even pushed away.
"There have been countless of genius. You're not the first one to comprehend Chaos, boy" The God Sword twisted his body, kicking at Bai's stomach. His leg opened, 4 swords surging from it. As he kicked Bai, the four swords pierced over Bai's body, even piercing his heart.
Bai was shot like a missile 2 kilometers away, crashing to the ground. Bai recuperated his equilibrium, quickly standing up. The holes over his body completely closed without a trace. However, a lingering pain ran over his head. Even if it was far more real, this continued being a mind space, wounds or death only momentary.
The God Sword lifted his index finger, pointing up, countless swords floating around. The God Sword's face twisted making a devilishly grin "Die!" Lowering his finger, all the swords shot towards Bai.
Bai kicked the ground "Boom!" "Boom!" Each sword exploded as it touched the ground. Bai jumping around trying to stop them, reflecting the ones that would hit him. Bai clenched his teeth as he continued avoiding them, keeping the distance from God Sword while trying to find an opening.
This was a battle of mental resistance. Bai against the countless soul swords. It didn't look good for Bai as he was forced defend.
