Gaia felt such panic for the first time, a feeling she hadn't even experienced when Set and Chthon sparked the Primordial War of the Gods.
Because at that time, she knew she had the Creator God behind her, giving her a sense of security.
But this time was different; after that war of the gods ended, she could no longer establish any contact with the Creator God!
She couldn't even trace back her origins, attempting to rely on the divine power link to forcefully sense if the Creator God still existed in this Multiverse.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die!"
"Set's first target will definitely be me; billions of years of resentment will surely make him even crazier!"
Gaia knew deep down that when Set returned this time, his first target for revenge would definitely be her.
Because if it weren't for her, perhaps the outcome of that ancient war of the gods would have been different.
"Oshtur and Chthon, as the only remaining ancient Chaos Gods, Set will not spare them either. We must unite."
After realizing this, Gaia no longer hesitated. Her consciousness split into two, heading separately to the Chaos Dimension where Chthon resided and the Supreme Dimension where Vishanti resided.
However, convincing Chthon and Vishanti to unite was almost impossible.
Because Oshtur, as the source of White Magic, and Chthon, as the source of Chaos Magic, these two ancient deities had already become irreconcilable opposites when they each became a source of magic. As long as one of them fell first...
Then the other would integrate the entire source of magic, and at that time, they would ascend to a super-Universe, becoming an ultimate deity, surpassing the Multiverse in one step.
This was also why Chthon yearned to deepen his control over Chaos Magic, and similarly, it was why Oshtur united with Hoggoth and her son Agamotto to form the Vishanti trinity.
They were each increasing their power, precisely to have a chance to eliminate each other and become the ultimate sole one.
Now, with Set's imminent return, their alliance was even more impossible!
Because they were all anticipating how, after Set dealt with Gaia, they could scheme against Set and then eliminate the other among themselves. If either Black or White vanished, the remaining one would gain the power to contend with Set.
Even if they couldn't win, at least they wouldn't be killed.
"Gaia, my dear sister, we haven't seen each other in billions of years. I never thought you would abandon your divine body and become like this. As your brother, I truly feel heartbroken!"
Upon seeing Chthon, before Gaia could state her purpose, he put on a show of sibling affection.
However, his words were full of mockery.
Gaia, who understood Chthon's nature very well, didn't mind. All she wanted to do now was figure out how to escape from Set's grasp.
She knew perfectly well that if she fell into Set's hands, he would absolutely not devour her easily; she would undoubtedly suffer endless torment.
"Chthon, I won't waste words. Set is about to return, and we, these Chaos Gods, will undoubtedly be the first targets. We must unite now to have a glimmer of hope."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Gaia, instead of trying to persuade me, why don't you join forces with me to eliminate Oshtur? As long as I seize her White Magic authority, I can naturally gain the power to contend with Set. Coupled with the Chaos Magic I control, we might even be able to get rid of Set once and for all."
"At that time, you will have no more worries!"
Hearing this, Gaia fell silent!
"My dear sister, this opportunity is only right in front of you, this one time."
It must be said that Chthon's words indeed sparked some different thoughts in Gaia's mind.
However, upon remembering that the person speaking these words was Chthon, she instantly sobered up.
She hadn't forgotten that this guy was also the instigator of the ancient war of the gods, and this guy was even more sinister than Set.
Many things were manipulated by him from behind the scenes, while Set was used as a weapon to charge into battle.
Therefore, Gaia immediately extinguished the thought of cooperation in her heart.
Knowing that cooperation was impossible, Gaia no longer intended to waste time there. Without any hesitation, Gaia's consciousness body immediately tried to disperse into endless light particles.
However, just as she tried to leave, she found a giant dark red cage completely enveloping her.
When those light particles couldn't break through the dark red barrier, they instantly re-condensed into Gaia's consciousness body.
This was, of course, a cage specially crafted for Gaia by Chthon using Chaos Magic.
"Chthon, what is the meaning of this?"
Gaia demanded, somewhat shocked and angry.
"Hehe! My dear sister, after billions of years, has your mind also been discarded along with your divine body?"
"Isn't the situation perfectly clear now? I was wondering how to find you, but I never thought you would deliver yourself to me. This is something I personally prepared for you."
As Chthon spoke, the cage slowly shrank, eventually transforming into a polygonal prism resembling a red crystal.
Gaia's consciousness was tightly sealed within it.
"With this, I will have a bit of leverage when facing Set. With that fool Set's intelligence, as long as I offer half of Gaia's consciousness as a gift to him, then Oshtur will definitely become his first target to hunt."
"Gaia, my dear sister, you truly came to me willingly, just as I expected!"
Casually playing with the crystal in his hand, Chthon's gaze pierced through endless dimensions, landing on the human chosen by Chaos Magic.
If this plan succeeded, he could not only break through the stubborn barrier and ascend to the super-Universe level, but he also had a very high probability of completely controlling Chaos Magic.
At that time, he might even have a chance to glimpse the legendary omnipotent realm.
Thinking of this, even Chthon's composure, honed over billions of years, couldn't suppress the tremor in his heart.
At this moment, Gaia's other consciousness clone was in the Supreme Dimension.
Suddenly, she shivered, having lost contact with her other clone. Immediately, she knew something terrible had happened.
Seeing this, Oshtur anxiously asked, "Gaia, what happened!"
"Chthon refused to cooperate, and even my clone was imprisoned by him."
Oshtur was somewhat vexed: "I knew that sinister guy would do this. Now everything is troublesome!"
"Set, who has already ascended to the super-Universe level, is simply beyond our ability to resist."
"How about we seek help from Eternity and the other four Creator Gods! Given Set's nature, his return this time will undoubtedly unleash boundless disaster."
"There's also a powerful existence that might be worth trying!"
"Are you talking about the Sun God from before? His strength is indeed ridiculously strong, but he might not be willing to be an enemy of someone like Set, right!"
"Regardless, we must try. Ancient One in a certain Universe previously had a good relationship with him. I also used Ancient One's hand to give him a portion of the White Magic authority, which can be considered as forging a friendship!"
After making up their minds, Vishanti and Gaia began to act separately.
