Chapter 473 The Secret Flame Was Stolen
Upon hearing Morgoth's telepathic message, Dui's pupils contracted, his expression instantly froze, and he stared intently at him.
Dui was not surprised that Morgoth had seen through his identity as a transmigrator, since Mandos had also immediately recognized him as a transmigrator when he created the Resurrection Stone to attract Mandos's self-light.
But what shocked Duy was that Morgoth said he knew the secret of his journey and how to get back.
Regardless of whether Morgoth was telling the truth or not, it certainly struck a chord with his deepest desires.
Even though he has now become a powerful Vera-level being, wielding the power of time and controlling the Sea of the Mind, he still feels a sense of belonging to his hometown from his previous life.
Even if he was just an unknown person in that world.
Morgoth seemed to have seen through Dui's thoughts, a smug smile appearing in their eyes as they met, and then he revealed another astonishing secret.
"Duir, you may doubt my words, but I can tell you definitively that if you want to leave this world and return to your own, you must break through your current power and reach the Creation level! Only then will you have a chance to escape this universe and find your world in the vast chaos."
"And if you want to reach the power of creation, you have no choice but the Secret Fire! Because whether it is you, me, or the other Valar, all the power we use comes from him, and the upper limit of our power was determined at the time of our birth."
To break the seal and change everything, we must obtain the Secret Fire and use it to reshape our origins. Only then can we possibly break free from His influence and regain our true freedom!
"So cooperate with me, Duir! With your power of time and my power of space combined, we can completely dominate this world. Even if the other Vera join forces, they are no match for us!"
"Once you help me obtain the Secret Flame, I will not only share it with you, but I will also do everything in my power to help you return to your original world!"
Morgoth, contrary to his usual behavior, extended a sincere invitation in words devoid of seduction.
Before Duy could answer, the other Valar gave Morgoth no further chance to speak.
"Everyone, give it your all and capture Melkor!" Manwë, the most loyal believer of Ilúvatar, was naturally not swayed by Morgoth's words. Instead, he was enraged by Morgoth's blasphemous words and ordered all the Valar to attack together.
Upon hearing Manwë's words, all the Valar no longer held back, unleashing their most powerful attacks as they besieged Morgoth.
Dui was silent for a moment, then joined in, unleashing a torrent of time and mental power that surged toward Morgoth like a tidal wave.
In an instant, the world changed color, and the peaceful and serene Valinor seemed as if the end of the world had arrived.
Under Manwë's control, the sky seemed to collapse, pressing down on Morgoth with a suffocating and heart-pounding pressure.
And accompanied by terrifying, world-destroying lightning, they all struck him wildly.
Ulmoth controlled the endless sea, transforming it into a world-destroying flood that surged toward Morgoth with overwhelming force.
Oromi, the god of the hunt, wields his divine bow and fires a devastating arrow that pierces through endless space, determined to kill his target.
The god of strength, Tokas, launched a close-range attack, unleashing the purest and most powerful destructive force of the laws of power, determined to destroy Morgoth's body.
The other Vera and Veri also unleashed their most powerful attacks.
In an instant, the four elements of air, water, fire, and earth erupted, and the natural laws of heaven and earth became chaotic and disordered.
The entire continent of Aman was shaken, the oceans were filled with towering waves, and even the world of Arda was affected, becoming dark and gloomy, with no light from the sun or moon and the stars flickering.
The elves of Valinor were terrified. The powerful elves and the Maiar watched in shock and dismay as the immense pressure and tremors emanated from the north, and could only do their utmost to protect the city from being affected.
On the battlefield of the Temple of Mandos in the north, facing the devastating attacks of the Valar, Morgoth showed no fear. Instead, at the last moment, he revealed a triumphant and wicked smile.
The Vera instinctively felt uneasy, but it was too late to withdraw their power.
The next second, the attacks from the Valar and Dui did not hit Morgoth; instead, they mysteriously disappeared around him.
Then, in the next second, they all bombarded the Gate of Mourning!
That was the terrifying power that combined the full force of the fourteen Valar, plus Dui's power of time, the impact of all the seas of mind in the warp, and Morgoth's additional spatial power.
Such terrifying power, enough to shatter the entire world of Arda, is now all gathered at the Gate of Mourning.
Amid Morgoth's triumphant elation and the Valar's horror, the Gate of Mourning, which had previously been used only by human souls, could no longer withstand the force. The invisible veil within the gate was violently torn open, revealing a dark and deep passage.
The next second, a powerful soul burst out of the passage, holding a pure white, holy flame that radiated seven-colored light.
The flame looked very ethereal, neither hot nor dazzling, but the moment it appeared, it made everyone present feel an instinctive desire and attraction.
It seems to be the origin of the world, the core of the soul of life, containing the highest, purest and most sacred power!
"Secret Fire!!!"
Everyone who sees it knows its name without exception.
"We can't let him take the Secret Flame!" Manwe shouted in shock and anger, burning his own power to fight with all his might to reclaim the Secret Flame. The other Vera were equally frantic, trying to stop him.
The Secret Fire is the unique creative power of Ilúvatar, the creator god, and is central to the world of Arda and even the entire subuniverse. They would never allow Morgoth to take it away.
But Morgoth clearly wouldn't give them a chance to stop him. He instantly recalled the soul clone, and the secret fire landed in his right hand.
He looked at the secret fire burning in his palm with greedy and ecstatic eyes, and let out a wild and unrestrained laugh.
"Hahaha————!" He clasped his palms together, and amidst the shocked and angry gazes of the other Veras, his figure vanished into space, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
"The Secret Fire cannot be lost! No matter where he escapes to, we must capture Melkor and retrieve the Secret Fire! Otherwise, we cannot answer to the One!" Manway's expression was extremely solemn and serious.
He looked at Ulmo, the ruler of the waters: "Ulmo, go and monitor all oceans and land waters, even underground rivers!"
Ulmo, who was usually silent, nodded solemnly, then transformed into water and merged into the sea. With his authority over the waters, he monitored all the waters of Arda to prevent Morgoth from hiding in them.
Manwe then looked at the God of Crafts: "Oli, go and monitor the cracks and caves deep within the earth. Don't give Melkor a chance to hide deep within the earth!"
Aoli nodded. Besides being the god of craftsmen, he was also the master of all mountains, rocks, and mineral veins, and had a certain degree of control over the depths of the earth.
