Chapter 1197 - An Una-Void-Able Gamble

Added 2025-08-08 11:16:57 +0000 UTC

Divine Bargain? Jake felt it wouldn’t help jack shit. His Umbral Cloak? The Shadow Realm didn’t overlap with the void, making the cloak inactive. None of Jake’s skills would work in a situation like this, simply due to how weak he was compared to those who stood before him.

The formation covering them all blocked any and all contact, and as the skills Jake possessed were part of the system, they were naturally also affected by the barrier meant to seal them in. If something like Divine Bargain helped, he was confident that everyone else besides the King would also have been able to at least notify or send a proverbial flare into the multiverse to alert their divine supporters.

Even if they could send a weak signal toward their gods, chances were the formation would still be able to block them. It could block even Artemis and any attempts she made to reach the outside, meaning it had to be of an incredibly high level.

Taking everything into consideration, Jake saw only two potential solutions. The first one was to actually do as the god said. To surrender and buy time that way, with the assumption that Villy and other Primordial-level figures would be able to do something once out of the barrier.

However, even that seemed like a bad idea. These masked gods had to have taken precautions against exactly that. Perhaps they planned to seal Jake and the others within a hidden space, or maybe they wanted Jake to do whatever they wanted him to do immediately within the barrier. In all cases, they had to realize they were on a timer.

At some point, as long as Jake and the others were alive, the masked gods would be tracked down. Leaving them alive for too long was thus simply too risky an option. As Jake looked around the room, they all seemed to also realize this as Jake spoke.

“I have one gamble, but I have no idea if it will work, and it may end up just dooming us all here and now,” Jake said to the others in the room.

“Then at least this brief third chance at life would have ended at my own choice,” the Forest King said.

The Sword Saint just nodded, Dina looking nervous but ultimately also agreeing. Sylphie had been quiet for a while, but even she realized the gravity of the situation as she let out a low screech of approval.

Jake nodded and gave them a solemn smile. “I suspect this won’t end well for me no matter the scenario.”

With those words, Jake took out an item from his spatial storage, and without further hesitation, drew on his Primeval Origin Energy. Time was running out, as the vessel would soon be breached, giving Jake no further time to consider matters.

Holding the object in his hand tightly, a whisper of Primeval Origin Energy soon entered it. At first, Jake felt no chance at all, but as he kept channeling his energies, something seemed to stir within the item.

Jake kept clenching the small black bead tighter, hoping his gamble would pay off as he sought to awaken the Origin within. Right then, the vessel was about to be breached, and to buy just a moment’s more time, Jake made a drastic decision.

He had seen how the vessel could be opened from within, likely as an emergency function, and with the others looking on with bated breath, Jake went and unlocked the hatch to the vessel.

An opening appeared, and before Jake could even register any movement, the god appeared right in front of Jake. He saw a smile on her face beneath her mask as she spoke.

“I’m glad you finally saw sense.”

She didn’t sound quite smug, but more like this was indeed the only possible outcome of this situation. He also took note of the fact that she indeed hadn’t tried to break through the barrier still covering the inside of the vessel despite having an opportunity to.

It was likely she feared accidentally killing Jake in the process, as the moment he was exposed to the void, he would perish. So she would need to not only break in but shield Jake the moment the barrier was down. In the event that Jake resisted, it could quickly result in his death and them having wasted their efforts.

The god in question raised her hand toward the barrier, and she summoned a small magical shield herself to cover the entrance of the vessel. Her actions were very cautious, not out of fear for her life, but fear that everything wouldn’t go according to plan.

Perhaps she thought Jake was hesitating when he was actually deep in thought as she spoke again, this time at least trying to sound a little comforting.

“Just accept my hand, and I swear none will die this day.”

Jake was still infusing Primeval Origin Energy into the item hidden in the palm of his hand, and he needed more time, so he tried to buy at least a little.

“You said you wanted to speak with me... well, here I am,” Jake said, not having to infuse his voice with power as with the vessel open, all effects that stopped anything leaving the vessel had been deactivated.

“I also believe I’ve said all that needed to be said,” the god said, her words indication she was at least a little impatient. Jake, on the other hand, felt like he had a lot more time upon noticing the fighting between Artemis and the other gods pausing.

Jake considered his approach as he tried something bold that he hoped would work, in part because it wasn’t a good strategy for someone in his situation. “Let’s just put all the cards on the table. You clearly need me for something, and you need me to actively participate in helping you, so let’s reach an agreement where we both at least benefit from all this nonsense.”

The god tilted her head a little, her smile beneath the mask broadening. “I’m listening, Harbinger of Primeval Origins.”

“I want you to properly promise that everyone here will be kept alive, as I may still need them in the future,” Jake said in a slightly haughty tone. “Additionally, I’m not gonna help you totally for free. Seeing as I don’t know which faction you’re from, I guess details would have to be determined later, but I want something to help strengthen my Path. Powerful alchemical ingredients or artifacts for transmutation. Perhaps exclusive first rights to a few dungeons, as my Dungeon Pioneer title could need some work. Of course, preferably a bit of everything, as I know the ware I’m offering is invaluable.”

From what Jake knew from his recent dinner date with Artemis and interactions with many others, his reputation in the multiverse was indeed that of a young master with a sense of ego and arrogance only surpassed by his Patron.

Anyone not entirely up their own asses would realize that Jake wasn’t in a proper situation to negotiate. However, that didn’t mean the god wouldn’t entertain him. If Jake was correct, they never planned on having him survive long enough to cash in on any promises, so why would it matter what they agreed to? All that mattered was placating the delusion, arrogant Chosen, until he was done helping these gods.

“Bold of you to try to negotiate, but we’re not entirely unreasonable,” the goddess said, continuing to smile as she seemed to consider the matter. “While I’m not able to make all promises, I can agree to some of them. However, all payments will happen once you’re done assisting us. Got to make sure you’re not just trying to take advantage.”

“I could say the same thing,” Jake said smugly. “But fine, I’ll be magnanimous. Just know that if you need my help again in the future, I don’t do discounts for return customers, especially not to those making such rude introductions.”

“Apologies, but the circumstances demanded it,” the god said halfheartedly, still humoring the delusional Chosen. In her mind, she likely found it more funny than anything that Jake had tried to wrestle back some semblance of control over his life and situation, despite the fact that he truly had no cards to play outside of threatening to end his own life as an act of resistance.

“It can be forgiven if things are acceptable from here,” Jake said with a nod. He was starting to reach the end of his bullshittery as he tried to get on to more things to say... but that was when he felt it.

“All the details can be determined once we are out of here and in more comfortable surroundings,” the goddess spoke again, motioning with her hand once more for Jake to take it. “The sooner we leave, the better. For everyone involved.”

Jake slowly nodded and smiled. “You’re right.”

He took a step forward and reached out his hand, holding the pitch-black marble in his hand. At the same time, he also stepped backwards, his reality splitting in two as Eternal Shadow activated.

Instantly, the god noticed Jake was up to some trickery. Jake’s Eternal Shadow instantly froze the moment it exited the barrier... but its hand had gotten out, and as the entire cursed manifestation faded, the small marble was revealed.

A multi-layered barrier from the god immediately covered the marble, sealing it in entirely. There was no hesitation in the goddess’s actions at all, as if she had expected Jake to do something like this.

“I will admit, I would have been disappointed if you hadn’t tried to do anything,” the god chuckled as she floated the sealed marble closer. “What is this? Some hidden treasure? Whatever it is-“

The marble within the barrier had a small crack form on its surface, stopping the god from talking for a moment before she looked more curious than anything else.

“A treasure of the void? Whatever it is, I think it’s broken,” the god said, floating the marble off to the side as her smile faded, and her tone turned serious. “Now, enough playing around. There is a limit to my patience, and you have just about reached it.”

Jake kept looking at the marble, feeling his connection to it remain as he also detected the faint changes within. “Aren’t you curious about what that is?”

“Not really,” the god said dismissively. “Your attempt to buy time is utterly meaningless.”

“Vision of Oras,” Jake said in a calm tone.

The god frowned and looked over at the barrier... only to see the crack in the marble expand and open up, revealing a pupil staring back from within as a deafening voice echoed throughout the void.

“I SEE YOU.”

The smile on the god’s face faded in an instant as she looked at Jake, who was now smiling behind the barrier. She raised her hand, but before anything more could happen, the void shook.

Jake felt his sense of perception shift as the world distorted for a moment. The darkness of the void began staring back at him as countless eyes opened within the endless nothingness, making Jake’s eyes bleed and hurt as he nevertheless forced them to stay open.

More eyes filled Jake’s vision as he felt groans from within the vessel, as all the others experienced the coming of the Void God. A sea of eyes fell like a waterfall over them all, folding and expanding infinitely and filling everything within sight. Even the walls inside the vessel weren’t spared. The enchantments were capable of holding back even beings surpassing Godkings, yes, but in front of a Void God, they failed entirely to withstand such might.

As the influence of the Void God was felt, his aura soon arrived. It was utterly oppressing, and Jake saw the god standing in front of the vessel look upwards, eyes wide. Jake also looked slightly up and saw that the entire void above them was taken up by one massive eye of swirling darkness staring down at them.

Upon seeing it, Jake was forced to close his eyes as he stumbled back into the vessel, raising an arm in front of his eyes to shield them. An incredible headache rocked his head, and he felt like he needed to throw up as he knelt on the floor before he lost balance.

At the same time, a voice full of power echoed in all their heads.

“Vision cracked, sight gained. Interference, influence, expectations. Seekers of that which is not theirs.”

The voice of Oras sounded as if it echoed within Jake’s mind. Through his sphere, he saw that in front of the vessel, all six masked gods had gathered. The masked woman, who had tried breaking in earlier, seemed to gather her courage as she spoke to the Void God.

“Eminence of the Void, we seek no quarrel. Our actions are independent of you, and we apologize and wish to offer compensation if our presence has disturbed you.”

Countless eyes shifted, blinked, and all gazed upon the god. Jake saw her shiver merely from having them all observe her at once, but she tried not to let it show as Oras spoke again.

“Quarrel. Intent. Relevance, null,” the Void Dweller said, a sense of dismissal in his voice. “Promises made, futures seen, planned, predicted. He Who Hunts, compensations owed, all ordained as oaths are fulfilled.”

As with the last time Jake heard the overpowering voice of the Void God, he had a very hard time understanding what the Void Dweller was actually getting at, but at least it looked like the masked gods were also perplexed.

Still, the leading masked god gave one last attempt. “The honored Void God truly has no cause to interfere, and I hope that-“

“Denied.”

As one, all the eyes opened wide as each gave off a glow of energy. Millions upon millions of eyes filled the world as a loud sound of glass shattering echoed through the void. The moment it did, Jake felt the shift immediately. Oras had effortlessly dismantled the barrier that had trapped them, something the gods also noticed as the leading god yelled toward the sea of eyes.

“Oras! You do not even know who we are, who we represent, yet-“

“Immaterial.”

The swirling mass of eyes began to close in all around them, the many masked gods now being the ones finding themselves trapped. Jake could only watch through his sphere as the world seemed to close in all around the gods, escape an impossibility when faced with the power of a Void God operating within its domain.

Right then, Jake also felt signs of another aura closing in, one full of bloodlust and a presence that seemed to erode even the void itself. The masked gods saw that their time was truly up, and there was nothing more they could do.

Jake knew that his gamble had paid off, yet it didn’t feel like a complete victory for some reason. It didn’t get better when the female masked god stopped staring toward the sea of eyes, but turned her attention back to Jake.

Rather than rage, confusion, or any other kind of expected emotion, she instead showed what struck Jake as genuine admiration. “Well played. I see now more than ever why you’re wanted.”

The god took out an odd coin-shaped item from her spatial storage and held it in her hand as she spoke again. “I do want to clarify that there was never any intention of killing you. Not now and not in the future. Of course, for the sake of transparency, I cannot say the same was true for your little friends. Alas... take solace in your victory till our Paths cross once more.”

Jake wasn’t sure if he even wanted to say anything as the god just smiled and activated the coin-shaped artifact. Upon doing so, a sphere covered herself and the five other masked gods before promptly imploding, consuming everything as it did so, including the gods and even the void itself, as all six were erased from existence.

The void was silent as several more auras could be felt approaching. With the barrier gone, more than a couple of gods had pinpointed their location and were about to arrive imminently.

My wild guess is the Primordial Church is behind this because none of the primordials would do this to Villy. Or an unknown hidden group?

ABTelford

2025-10-25 13:15:13 +0000 UTC

My first guess is a faction in the Holy Church. My second guess is a faction with the Endless Empire or United Tribes. My third guess is the Empire of Blight. Really any group who thinks Jake's magic juice could help them, especially with lost bloodlines, and maybe doesn't have the best relationship with the Viper.

Whst is eveeyones guess for the faction responsible? I can see that part of the order of light thst didnt get the bloodline they wanted as unlikely but possible. Same is trhe of the other hivenqueens possible but unlikely since he is currently on good terms Maybe the beast man alliance? Eversmile?

Wow some real conflict that had impact on the gods and wasn't planned ahead of time by the Viper. I was literally jumping in my seat telling my wife that Jake was going to use the void marble.

I think we are about to see why the malefic viper has the reputation he does for the first time. I think Jake will be the one to calm him down. I don’t think he’s coming in with a level head to this. He’s lost everyone he loved and I genuinely believe he loves Jake as a friend. It’s his first true friend since his family and thinking he might lose Jake right now has to have him triggered af

Man that would be a tough call. Would you wait till the morning to read the chapter or break down and read it immediately? I mean the brightest part of my morning is reading the chapters with my cereal. When Zog has done this before I was weak and read it immediately, but my cereal didnt seem right before work.

Ty Cooper

2025-08-11 03:55:19 +0000 UTC

I thought this was the moment he was gonna go all out with everything he had and his bloodline was going to get pushed to evolve (so far it has in every other grade) thinking it would have to be under extreme circumstances. Although you could argue directly looking at Oris will he was going all out would probably count. Guess we’ll have to wait.

Daniel Hamilton

An argument could be made for chance. It would be a weird way to say it, sure. But an argument none the less.

I’m hoping there isn’t a misunderstanding at first when the Gods show up. I hope they don’t think it was Oras that did this and attack before they find out the facts.

He did not teleport away….That was villy ending his life and probably looting the research for himself.

2025-08-11 00:59:33 +0000 UTC

Wild thought. I was just rereading some of the old books. In book 9 Ch 56 at the end there was the old elf that gave Jake a ring and bracers. He records data of his arcane affinity, but as he is about to send that data up the chain of command he gets teleported away. And I don’t think it was his superiors because he sounded surprised. Could be this mystery faction, could be something else, could be nothing. Thoughts?

HoresKnight

2025-08-11 00:32:27 +0000 UTC

i'm like what somebody said earlier...I hope other primordials and gods start showing up just to see what's going on. I enjoyed the nevermore party.

First sage is future jakes projection after being homies with the viper in said future. The jake we are reading about is a reincarnated version making a play at the final wall. Maybe

Shifeng

2025-08-10 20:27:58 +0000 UTC

But what about his child hood? What about him being initiated into the system on Earth? That’s where my skepticism comes in to him being a Primodial grade god. He lived a life as a child on Earth, his mom and dad birthed him.

Ok…. So a thought…. What if the little void lollipop turned eyeball gains a little independence from Oras through the Jake juice? Like while it is connected to oras it is still its own person…. And now little lollipop eye wants to sit in Jake’s hair and follow him around like a good perception lollieye should……

The system is all powerfull it can do what ever it will. The system simpley let transcedent skills and bloodlines happen, i think to fostet competition.

Ivo Wißen

2025-08-10 05:30:36 +0000 UTC

Something that I've never been able to figure out, is how the System was able to award Jake with more Juice at Nevermore? A little vial topped him up. Makes me wonder if his Origin Energy isn't really... System Energy. Definition of Primal is: "relating to an early stage in evolutionary development." And the Latin root of primal is primus, which means first. So. The First Hunter. Someone here guessed that Jake was actually a god, maybe a primordial level, that was a victim of Eversmile's transcendence. And he used his Jake juice to reset his Path and initiate a redo. Some pretty amazing theories goin around! I love this story!!!

MarineDebris

2025-08-10 04:22:19 +0000 UTC

Typo “Holding the object in his hand tightly, a whisper of Primeval Origin Energy soon entered it. At first, Jake felt no chance at all, but…” the word “chance” should be “change”. I only point it out because I didn’t catch it my first read through either! Sneaky sneaky one letter difference

ABTelford

2025-08-10 03:34:11 +0000 UTC

Can Oras hear? I am imagining him so specialised that he just sees sound waves and processes them with Fourier transforms manually. Including actually seeing the sound waves in the void because they are what could have been in an alternative reality where there was air.

Jake’s list of targets for future hunts is getting bigger by the day I see 😂 also, this chapter had me gripping my phone so hard while reading it! So intense, so crazy and amazing in every way! It’s wild to me how in the last year or so I’ve re read the books 6-7 times and been following this patreon for months after finding out about it, yet I’m still not sick of it in ANY way! Even when I literally already know what everyone is going to say or do between books one and 12 now. I love this Zogarth! Thanks so much for such an engaging and inspiring story you’ve created.

Gabe Stankiewicz

2025-08-09 23:54:39 +0000 UTC

I remember when I was first reading this series on Patreon, and there would be like 150 comments and 200 likes on the newest chapter. Now, there are multiple threads of good conversations and theories. Oh, what it is to be alive in 2025 . . .

There can't not be. Jake is going to be around forever. The only question is now vs later.

Ernie Boyd

2025-08-09 22:39:14 +0000 UTC

I'm thinking very similarly to you, though instead of Jake being originally a god/primordial I think that Jake's records will "echo" throughout the past. We've seen it explained that Records from the System can echo through time and space, resulting in some things happening "in the past" that won't actually happen until later in the future. I think Jake's aura is the "original" aura, and that's why he can't be suppressed by any others. All auras people have originate from Jake's aura, as when he eventually becomes a god his Records will echo through the past. Oras knows what will happen, and since Records and the Void are wonky and weird and unstable, I think Oras owes Jake in the future for something and that's why he's helping out Jake now.

pretty sure the hairy cube is stronger than oras

Thenais

2025-08-09 21:25:29 +0000 UTC

Okay, so crazy theory here that I've been brewing for a while: Jake is a primordial, or some God very, very close to being one. I believe that Jake used his primordial energy on himself as a God, reset his progress, and started over from F-grade. Remember in the first chapters, how all the gods watching the tutorial predicted that the metal mage would kill everyone and beat the tutorial? Jake inserted himself into this universe, and reset his progress as a god to gain power, or for some other reason (maybe as a reaction to survive a karmic deletion by Eversmile?) This would explain a lot of things. His connection to Oras could be from when he was a primordial/ peak god and he made some kind of deal/promise with him back then that the karmic deletion / primal reversion couldn't take away since Oras is not a part of the actual multiverse. Jake isn't progressing through the grades for the first time. This is at least his second time, each time trying to get stronger ( to become a primordial, or some other grand goal - hunting the system itself?). This would also explain why he has never received an evolution quest - he's already been at that grade before. I wonder if this could also maybe reveal something with his connection to the First Sage? Lmk what you think!

Imagine being a God Queen driving a bus of mortals through the void, getting ambushed by a god-strike-team, and your new C-grade boyfriend latest trickery is throwing THE Apex Void God in the face of the carjacking-commando. Its like being able to call the president to deal with a corrupted power-tripin-cop raiding your house without warrant. Damn I want another Artemis pov chapter.

have you hit a wall? are you tired of being offered boring skills and classes? are your records stale and dusty? give yourself a boost with JAKE JUICE available at the golden emporium or at your local void tech kiosk Jake juice is manufactured and trademarked by Jake thane ent. bottled in the milky way. Jake juice is not a replacement for hard work and challenging yourself. consult your local auger to determine if Jake juice is right for you

Honestly the series started out mid, but after Vilas got his power level fixed at the top and Jake got his bloodline OP’d, it just kept getting better

I was wondering why Jake said this "won't go well" for him no matter what happens, but after reading a second time, I think I get it. His instincts have warned him of the terrible truth: He won't be getting his void lollipop back.

Get a dog, you'll find out at some point if you want to or not. Wait, is Jake like Oras' dog?

Corvid

It's truly impressive to me how we're 16 books in and this series hasn't at all become stale. Imo this series is only getting better? Kudos to you Zog, you've got a gift. Hope you write this for a long time to come.

Has there been any update on the cradle of souls kindling? It feels like he hasn't checked it in months/years.

Neal Cooper

2025-08-09 06:02:07 +0000 UTC

He probably wouldn’t it would be the most interesting thing that’s happened in years he seems like the academic type the one who what’s knowledge for the sake of it zog already said he’s the void god that reacts to the material world the most

frankie doerr

2025-08-09 05:42:58 +0000 UTC

tyftc. Going to interesting chapters ahead. Pissing off a plethora of Primal Gods, Possibly Minaga for attempted taking out his Bro, and Oras - everybody gotta cross the Void at some time and your on Oras list, it aint gonna be pretty. This is the most exciting episode yet. Villy's murder hobo aura locking in on Jakes position with utter destruction in his wake...gives me goose-bump shivers.

John Durrett

2025-08-09 05:25:56 +0000 UTC

Just the avatars.

John Durrett

2025-08-09 05:06:34 +0000 UTC

Big 💗 for this. Subconsciously I was thinking it’d be more of the same in this upcoming arc but the void and space mafia/cartel/m5 is appealing! Thanks for the chapter!

Xien

2025-08-09 05:01:00 +0000 UTC

I hope it does. He had a nice hiatus between The Yip and El Cheeto war. He went on vacation to see his girlfriend at the POL. Now he's been thrown back into another deadly scenario. The only way through requires Jake to grow stronger, faster.

Biggy smalls

2025-08-09 04:55:59 +0000 UTC

Yeah, sassy Oras is honestly a highlight of the series for me. "Relevance. Null." "Immaterial." "Denied." Small words, big energy

Corvid

2025-08-09 04:15:38 +0000 UTC

Sword Saint didn't even try to bargain either

Corvid

2025-08-09 04:00:30 +0000 UTC

Yeah, I like it. So far the fact that the 93rd has opened up has been hinted and teased, but there's not been a lot of "welcome to the multiverse" level of risk, I like the change of pace

Corvid

2025-08-09 03:59:42 +0000 UTC

"Right then, Jake also felt signs of another aura closing in, one full of bloodlust and a presence that seemed to erode even the void itself." 'Eroding the void itself' means it's definitely the Viper.

Alex

2025-08-09 02:01:45 +0000 UTC

so if you kill the avatar you kill the god? also any thoughts on who the aura filled with blood lust belonged to?

Oras looking at them like you would an ant terrarium

Absolutely. This is an event that inspiration require s the call. When he finishes painting it he wouldn't have purposefully have made it for oras to see, but he would not be surprised when he learnsnthat oras can.

Tom S

2025-08-08 20:37:20 +0000 UTC

I'm not sure that was a direct response to yesterday's comments - people were speculating that Jake might use divine bargain or the umbral cloak to get out of the situation because there were logical reasons why they might be useful: Diving bargain is directly connected to Villy, so Jake might have been able to use the skill to connect with Villy through the lockdown, or spoof Villy's aura to scare the gods off. The umbral cloak is connected to Umbra and the shadow realm, so Umbra might have been observing Jake via the cloak, which would let her intervene to gain a favor from Villy for saving his chosen. Zog would recognize those potentials just like his readers did, so he would have been able to address them before people pointed them out. Also, I'm not sure about Zog, but most writers like to have a few chapters worth of buffer in case something prevents them from writing, so he probably wrote this chapter well before reading yesterday's comments. He could totally have added that bit at the start as a response to yesterday's comments, but it's equally likely that it was written well before yesterday's chapter dropped.

Alex

2025-08-08 20:32:07 +0000 UTC

I legitimately appreciate that he took the time to individually demolish all of the theories about skills from the comments yesterday

Corvid

2025-08-08 20:17:57 +0000 UTC

Here I thought he just wanted a reason to have half a dozen primordial or near primordial gods get together again like nevermore because that shit was peak entertainment

A moment of silence for all of the lost perception stat points. Jake’s team has no idea how much he just gave up for them.

WaxDinosaur

2025-08-08 19:12:32 +0000 UTC

Yeah they absolutely were. Now they just pissed off at least 4 primordials by attacking everyone in that ship Not to mention Minaga because no way is he not gonna join the hunt when someone as entertaining as Jake was just threatened. Plus his unwilling little brother the King was there

bad news. I figured it all out. the power behind staging this confrontation. the evilest power in the multiverse.... zog staged this fight with the sole purpose being to have Artemis get injured and return to the pantheon forcing us to wait until after his hiatus to get the Artemis meets jake's ladies scenes. pure evil!!!!

Considering oras and Jake love perception, I’m thinking Jake might get some inspiration from this encounter

C449 You could have asked before making my Chosen a mule,” the Viper protested as he stared into the many eyes. “Yes… decision made in haste. Apologies, Keeper of Lost Knowledge. Compensation will be made,” the Void Dweller answered, “What do you offer me?” he asked. “To the Primordial? None shall be given. Compensation for He Who Hunts. An equal, is he not?

Chegs

2025-08-08 18:28:19 +0000 UTC

Curious, if this is going make Jake push himself harder, take more risk to get stronger faster and put himself through hell doing it. Thinking of the machine faction maybe behind this or a smaller collection of God’s allied together

I’m infinitely curious as to what villy will say to Oras and what Artemis will say to Jake.

The Ravenger

2025-08-08 17:57:31 +0000 UTC

The ones who killed Villy’s wife and kid are long dead. The Primordials had to end Villy’s rampage because he didn’t stop after he’d killed the people responsible, he was just going to keep destroying everything until there was nothing left, or someone stopped him.

Alex

2025-08-08 17:42:28 +0000 UTC

"Irrelevant"

Little Silly

2025-08-08 17:40:03 +0000 UTC

That was a one time event for initiates of the 93rd universe, and Jake getting a sim-Jake out of it was only possible because of the nature of his Bloodline.

Alex

2025-08-08 17:39:48 +0000 UTC

Even if they can't, if and when jake meets them out of disguise, he'll know who they are

2025-08-08 17:18:17 +0000 UTC

Jake and Artemis second date should be to the myriad choices thingy so she can get a sim-artemis to trap in her soul and develop a melee fighting style to incorporate her archery and traps.

I'm willing to bet he now has karmic debt to oras. Not to mention if jake with his insane presence resist was like that i cant imagine the others are doing fine. Also called it but damn it was even better then I thought

Death56

2025-08-08 16:41:56 +0000 UTC

On reflection I think that the foolish 5 will be discovered because Oras’ and the incoming primordials will be able to read their hidden manor signatures. 🧐

how many levels will Jake get from helping killing these gods ? it's not an uno reverse, but a 'summon Cthulhu' bingo card has to count for something

Honestly an arc like this is exciting. Felt like things have been going according to plan a bit too much recently. Jake needs more conflict to push him in a real life scenario.

Paul Reid

2025-08-08 16:19:23 +0000 UTC

To be fair, they did do an excelent job isolating and trapping them. They didnt do it out in the open but they thought they planned enough to hopefully negate any more trouble than their current group could handle. So it seems they did highly value security, but the risk would be worth the reward? It is kind of baffling though. But as they say, gods dont progress without risk Bit off a bit more than they could chew with this one though haha

Seen Death

2025-08-08 16:15:44 +0000 UTC

Plus levels and records. Jake is the Harbinger of Primeval Origins but he should also gain the title Avatar of Chaos

Silver Dawn

2025-08-08 16:13:12 +0000 UTC

My money is that these turd nuggets are the same ones who killed Villy’s wife and kid. From the earlier hints it doesn’t sound like Villy’s rampage was complete when the other primordials stopped him. I can’t imagine another faction would mess with the Villy and Jake. Especially after they stomped Yip and crew. In addition to being wife killers. I could also see them be some type of cult of the first sage. Hiding their existence via forbidden knowledge system fuckery.

Nick Remis

2025-08-08 16:10:59 +0000 UTC

Summoning Dormammu on your enemies is certainly a strategy

Thenais

2025-08-08 16:06:48 +0000 UTC

I really feel like Jake and Oras will be very good acquaintances once Jake reaches godhood. Two gods you cannot hide from just vibing it out

Oblivion

2025-08-08 15:57:51 +0000 UTC

I just keep wondering why having a bloodline that does something is so much different from having a special ability that does something. I declare them guilty either way.

brjenness

2025-08-08 15:56:48 +0000 UTC

lonestar is flying around in her space rv pissed off at Jake. she doesn't think her faction can get control of the new world wonder with Jake involved. so she has her gods going around encouraging former yappers to move against him.

brjenness

2025-08-08 15:54:18 +0000 UTC

I wonder if using the Jake juice on the marble was beneficial in anyway to Oras. We’ve seen him defy fate multiple times just in his Tutorial, will being granted a little of that mojo give Oras better insight into Jake’s bloodline or arcane affinity? Not to mention using his origin energy on a being of the Void might let it glimpse either the start of the system or the void itself giving it a grand boon in its own path of seeing all of everything.

Hello!

2025-08-08 15:52:04 +0000 UTC

In the void, nobody can hear you scream - except Oras.

Did everyone skip floor 42 in nevermore? They weren't trying to make the kid breed. They were trying to kidnap him to adopt him. Enslaving and kidnapping are absolutely against the bloodline accords.

SqrlyGrly

2025-08-08 15:48:22 +0000 UTC

Why would it no longer work to impart perception? The crack on it was just the eye opening to reveal the eye inside so Oris could see. Unless Jake evolved it beyond its current abilities.

Victory Holcomb

2025-08-08 15:47:41 +0000 UTC

Didn't Oras say he owed compensation when he first stopped Jake in the void so he could deliver Arnold the blvoid orb? He gave Jake the perception orb as a gift for coming out as chosen so the compensation owed wouldn't be used already

fala

2025-08-08 15:47:31 +0000 UTC

Y'all remember that when Yip of Yore died, Villy mentioned that Yip ascended super fast relative to other gods (ie, super genius) and wasn't the only god that desired to overthrow the establishment (ie, primordials) but was the first one to PUBLICLY give it a shot... I believe Villy mentioned that there could be other's out in the multiverse of similar talent but who smartly haven't intervened YET (ie, continuing to level up and grow in power to actually have a fighting shot at the Primordials)... I wonder if this could be the unnamed patron of these 6 gods?

Marc Todd

2025-08-08 15:45:46 +0000 UTC

I actually don’t understand that one, must mean that it’s predicts a specific future where he owes him (that’s crazy foreshadowing that’s been happening for a while now and it’s fucking unbelievable)

islandcastle11

2025-08-08 15:38:50 +0000 UTC

The promises Oras spoke about might be the promises between Arnold and Jake. Jake allows Arnold both freedom and opportunity that he couldn't almost anywhere else and requires very little. They just do favors for each other. Oras has to be taking in records from Arnold and his connection to Jake would increase that even more. Arnolds relationship with Jake allows Arnold to focus on his own path instead of pesky things like politics.

You know, If you were in a truck and you were to isekai someone... that counts as crossing paths, right?

NovaZero

2025-08-08 15:28:45 +0000 UTC

They were stupid enough to encourage stealing a hunter's quarry and that they could compensate him. I'm not so sure.

NovaZero

2025-08-08 15:27:03 +0000 UTC

That would make it public that Jakes Bloodline is the root of his origin powers, so it might be more beneficial for Villy to act as though he's only taking retribution for his Chosen being accosted, not for attempted abuse of a bloodline holder. If Villy treated it like a violation of the accords then the root of Jakes powers becomes obvious

GloinJr

MrBooniecap

I’m certain villy will want to rampage a bit. Jake is the reason he left hiding after the loss of his wife and daughter. He is going to be beyond angry.

MrBooniecap

DeamoniumDraco

2025-08-08 15:15:49 +0000 UTC

Nah!!! It sucks he lost the marble of perception (as i call it) but oras still owed Jake for taking Arnold the cube. Their squared, but I think Oras is gonna ask something of Jake.

Dang Villy still not getting any respect/fear after him coming back from his Devine realm after such a long absence

Gotta say, Oras is kinda weak if he can allow people to leave his domain like that.

granndfunk

2025-08-08 15:08:01 +0000 UTC

Help me understand something. When the god activated the coin-shaped artifact and winked out of existence. Did that mean they actually died; or, did they just teleport away in order to have their path's cross with Jake's in the future (as she said).

Victory Holcomb

2025-08-08 15:07:25 +0000 UTC

They didn’t go through official channels because that wouldn’t have worked. Jake has made it clear multiple times that he is not selling his services

Aaron Schwartz

2025-08-08 15:07:21 +0000 UTC

Oh I can’t wait for Jake to identify them to Villy at some random thing where he comes in contact with a bunch of gods. Can’t hide from the bloodline of the Primal Hunter!

Nathan Holliday

2025-08-08 15:05:49 +0000 UTC

Even if oras can't or won't share who those gods were Jake saw them and could share it with Villy. But whether that will help is anyone's guess since there's countless gods and goddesses by now

khielira

2025-08-08 15:05:03 +0000 UTC

I think Jake owes Oras now for summoning him. Maybe he can help Arnold, or maybe we get to see our first void base critter?

Kevin Watson

2025-08-08 14:58:32 +0000 UTC

The primordial church wouldn’t have tried to kill the sword saint, or Sylphie. Hell I don’t think they would’ve even tried to kill Dina.

Aaron Schwartz

2025-08-08 14:56:45 +0000 UTC

I don't think this counts since they didn't seemed to want Jake for his bloodline but for his Harbinger status instead. That ruling seems to be centered around forcing someone with a bloodline to make babies and that might allow them to kidnap Jake since they had other goals they wanted

khielira

2025-08-08 14:56:39 +0000 UTC

My only question is weather there are 3 Primordials coming to lay a beat down or if it is just Villy. Nature’s Attendant possibly as well. Do Stormild and Aeon care about Silfie and Sword Saint enough to show up or not. I want to see those four come to lay the wood on whomever tried to hurt their people!

Nathan Holliday

2025-08-08 14:56:34 +0000 UTC

You know, reading about the massive Eye of Oras in the sky along with the sheer oppressive nature that came with it. It truly reminds me of the massive Eye that appeared during that Demon Prince's ritual. Edit: I know it was Jake's Bloodline, but the similarities are there.

愚行

2025-08-08 14:55:21 +0000 UTC

It kinda sounds like Oras said, “Oh Jake? Yeah him and I go way back. And forward. At some point in time I’ll owe him a favor.”

Kevin Watson

2025-08-08 14:53:20 +0000 UTC

So gods who kill them selves without any reluctance. Only two pantheons I know who are that crazed and not an automation. The Holy Church and the Primordial Church.

Xarow

2025-08-08 14:46:28 +0000 UTC

Their killed their Avatars. I am convinced the attackers believe they cant be tracked or identified this way. If that is true we will find out on monday i believe.

Hornbach

oras gives lollypop back to Jake. later Jake notices he has two stalkers creeping on him. he pulls out the lollypop and an eyeball is staring at him. Jake shrugs. licks the eyeball and puts it away. in the void the silence is torn as a mighty voice shouts, "yuck." and millions of hands wipe furiously at millions of eyeballs.

After thinking about the chapter a bit, I come to 2 conclusions: 1. It must really fack up Villy and reopen old scars. Jake is the 1st Person he led close after "the incident" and he thought the Blondine accords would protect him. 2. As Jake stared directly at Oras - more than ever bevore - he should sprout some lovely tentacles. Looking forward to his new description. I only hope his hair will stay the same or Sylphie will be pissed

I'm throwing my lot in on these guys being some anti-establishment no primordials club supported by the Dao father in secret, or maybe some other unknown God at the level of Umbra or the Autarch. Absolutely stellar chapter can't wait to see Villy being pissed on Monday tyftc

Ben Cox

So many new questions. So many new outcomes. Great chapter. Have a good weekend everyone.

DirePants

2025-08-08 14:35:13 +0000 UTC

The chapter title is beautiful and made my day! I can’t wait till Monday to see Villy’s and all the other gods reaction to this. I hope we get to see a feral villy remind the multiverse why it’s a bad idea to piss him off

Erin Miller

2025-08-08 14:35:05 +0000 UTC

and if not by the Primordials, Oras definitely knows who they are.

Lemonsqueezy

2025-08-08 14:34:51 +0000 UTC

Pretty sure their identities were revealed once Oras destroyed the shield obscuring everything. At least one of those gods were identified by the Primordials.

Lemonsqueezy

2025-08-08 14:34:17 +0000 UTC

Are the gods dead or did they escape? The goddess implied she and Jake would meet again. Maybe how they escaped destroyed any karma they would have left behind?

They made a multiverse crime, coming after a bloodline patriarch against his will ...

Bjarne Hansen

2025-08-08 14:21:50 +0000 UTC

villy wipes out a few small factions. multiverse shrugs. villy slow cooks a plan that entices all who would be tempted to move against him and wipes them all out...multiverse shivers

brjenness

2025-08-08 14:19:33 +0000 UTC

They would know, Ora’s was the one who ripped down the barrier. It’s pretty easy to infer that much and Oras wouldn’t do something like this, his is on good terms with Villy and Jake anyway so there would be no need to.

Prospects

2025-08-08 14:18:12 +0000 UTC

I think it's more that Oras sees all. Past, present, and future. And owes something to Jake for what he will do, or wants him to do, in the future.

Stephen

2025-08-08 14:16:45 +0000 UTC

“Vision cracked, sight gained…” Could mean a few different things. I wonder if directly relating to the item does Jake come out better after infusing with Jake juice.

Bose

2025-08-08 14:15:36 +0000 UTC

Rereading oras's words, it sounds like even oras has (had?) Difficulty seeing stuff (around jake?) For someone who cares so much about observation jake must be a real treat? "Vision cracked"? Maybe it was a significant change. Maybe im completely misinterpreting lol. "Promises made... futures predicted..." did jake make promises? Was it someone elses promises? Was it promises/ oaths not yet made but he has seen? (I highly doubt the last part, if he could perfectly see the future, he would have known to show up without jake having to origin that void lolipop, but void gods are unfathomable for a reason haha) Hell yeah haha. Idk how close oras actually is to Villy, but they seemingly could be great friends: he who never forgets, and he who sees all. The speculation i could make about this is crazy lol. Well done Zog! Ill forgive you again for it being another friday haha

Seen Death

2025-08-08 14:14:44 +0000 UTC

Depending on how they frame this (and I could see Villy absolutely doing this), story is going to get out that newest power couple of the multiverse (a godqueen and a C-grade) were able to escape a surprise ambush against 6 other GODS while in the Void, all of whom had their avatars destroyed while Jake and company didn’t lose anyone.

Rich Varos

2025-08-08 14:07:56 +0000 UTC

chance that none of the rescue know oras was there to help

Feck. I need moar

Jeryd Greer

2025-08-08 14:03:54 +0000 UTC

Ngl, I thought he was going to eat the void lollipop while hitting them with the good old "how many lick does it take?" Then with the boost it would give him void eyes or something so that his normal senses offer something different than his bloodline

Joseph Jenkins

2025-08-08 14:02:59 +0000 UTC

These five silly gods could have approached in a far better manner that would not have led to the situation that they are now in. It’s going to be murder. I can see the whole pantheon getting destroyed due to their foolishness.

Rewdan

2025-08-08 14:01:48 +0000 UTC

I think that's very low. Didn't he get 5 for calling Villy a little b***h in front of the multiverse? He just drove off an avatar of an empyrean god, yes he had help but also he seems more comfortable in front of Oras than before, which I believe either implies or translates to strong records of heretic chosen. Guessing this is closer to 8 levels

Siethrobo

2025-08-08 14:01:11 +0000 UTC

You are absolutely correct. I never thought of that 👍

Walter Kimberly

2025-08-08 13:58:45 +0000 UTC

Honestly wouldn't oras be able to see who these gods were and has probably seen them before given he's literally called the all seeing. I imagine if they want to owe oras a favor they could get all the Intel they need to start tracking down who's responsible.

Cees Tollenaar

Distance as a concept doesn't really exist in the void so Oras doesn't need a skill like that

Cees Tollenaar

2025-08-08 13:56:33 +0000 UTC

Everyone is talking about how the Bloodline Accords were broken, and while I can see where people are coming from, the Origin power is not known to be linked to him bloodline. Would that actually be breaking them since the multiverse thinks its not apart of his bloodline?

Alex McCracken

2025-08-08 13:55:18 +0000 UTC

He started into the eye of the void for a reason lol those perception points about to sky rocket …. What if his orgins power is linked to the void

Keion

2025-08-08 13:51:54 +0000 UTC

His time will come, an act like this doesn't come without dire consequences

Cees Tollenaar

2025-08-08 13:51:09 +0000 UTC

I think I am more interested what these Gods wanted from Jake’s abilities. It’s weird that they wouldn’t just go through official channels which makes me think it’s something sketchy. However the Viper is fairly sketchy morally himself so it just seems odd that what they want is something the Viper would disapprove of.

Silver Dawn

2025-08-08 13:49:54 +0000 UTC

6 gods died just like that. How many eras did they need to get into godhood? But they all just went poof for testing jake.

Almer Reyhan

2025-08-08 13:48:31 +0000 UTC

Ikr! Danger has been adverted but shit isn't truly over and help is about to arrive to check in and have a good chat.

Only one or two were iirc

Cees Tollenaar

2025-08-08 13:45:59 +0000 UTC

What if they tracked Jake through his new cloak?

Dave

2025-08-08 13:40:16 +0000 UTC

It wouldn’t surprise me if gods could easily change their appearance enough to fool Jake. Not to mention you can’t exactly track someone by just their looks especially if they as I suspect not a public force. The only one who I think should be able to track them is Oras since he met them and maybe Eversmile if enough karma between them formed

Phil Ritter

2025-08-08 13:38:19 +0000 UTC

I just wanted to see Villy go off......maybe next week

Luke Cordell

2025-08-08 13:33:43 +0000 UTC

Thanks for the chapter! “[…] about to arrive imminently.” is redundant. Pick one or the other.

Arieh Sochaczevski

2025-08-08 13:31:29 +0000 UTC

Considering how big the multiverse is it would be strange if there weren’t very powerful underground forces with murky goals

Phil Ritter

2025-08-08 13:31:07 +0000 UTC

Jake really should to more favours to Oras. Having such a being on his side is invaluable. Oras probably has a similar skill to one step mile allowing it to teleport wherever he can see and considering he sees everything he can appear wherever in the void he wants. Everywhere in the existence if he is able to leave the void. Now that I think about it was she trying to threaten Oras with not knowing who they represent? That would mean their backing is quite strong or they were just bluffing. I don’t see them being backed by a primordial tho. All of them have a somewhat good relationship with Villy and most likely go through official channels first only resorting to something like this if they are rejected. Not to mention that they have too much to loose were they discovered. I don’t think any faction we know of is behind them but a third party who wouldn’t have a chance to meet and invite Jake through normal means or can’t afford to reveal their identity to public figures like Villy

Phil Ritter

2025-08-08 13:29:36 +0000 UTC

Wow absolutely incredible chapter! Thank you Zogarth! And I apologize in advance but damn you for the cliff hanger lol have a good weekend everyone

Walter Kimberly

2025-08-08 13:27:22 +0000 UTC

I think that is worth at least 1-3 levels in heretic chosen. Especially if they had to destroy an image. Also, need to track down the spy or source of intelligence that told them who was traveling when and where.

KenTX325

2025-08-08 13:14:33 +0000 UTC

I believe that the masked woman was stated to be an avatar and not the true body so it very well could've been a real implosion.

Luxio

2025-08-08 13:13:48 +0000 UTC

Im now 12 minutes late to walk into work but i couldnt inturupt this chapter haha tyfc!! I expected to see a void god a couple chapters ago but what a twist of events! Jake was in some serious shit lol

Seen Death

2025-08-08 13:13:32 +0000 UTC

The real question is, who is the traitor within the Pantheon of Life that gave up the travel route?

MarineDebris

2025-08-08 13:12:14 +0000 UTC

It should spawn a void octopus named Inkie

Tom S

2025-08-08 13:11:41 +0000 UTC

What kind of gamble would be worth spitting in the viper's face? Villy is not known for leniency and kipnapping and blackmailling his chosen is probably a good incentive for scorched earth policy. Would they have been mortal, Villy would probably just crack a beer and watch the show. Gods and Godkings? Throw the beer can at the dumbo

No way. The goddess admitted they were going to just kill Sword Saint and Sylphie, who are blessed by primordials.

Thanks for the chapter.

Joshua Little

2025-08-08 13:07:44 +0000 UTC

LOL. I think Villy would get a kick out of letting Jake just punch him in a one off to make the system give the title.

DeAndrea H

2025-08-08 13:07:19 +0000 UTC

Well gawd damn 😳 Also if void gods are generally stronger than normal gods and Ora's is Void God primordial, why would they ever care about whatever primordial these chuckleheads belong too? It's not like they have an actual faction to care about or others to really care about.

Evan Zablocki

2025-08-08 13:05:34 +0000 UTC

I'm going to guess that these gods were form the primordial church since they were willing to erase their existences to avoid being caught. That speaks to a level of fanaticism that goes even beyond the holy church.

2025-08-08 13:01:12 +0000 UTC

Fantastic chapter. I wonder if when she said “until our Paths meet once more” if she specifically meant that herself or more of a “we are Legion” kind of way. Bc I don’t think Oras would be tricked by a teleport that looks like an implosion. Hmmm… I’m looking forward to this arc! Monday, Villy shows up looking to kick ass and chew bubble gum!

DeAndrea H

2025-08-08 13:01:08 +0000 UTC

Can’t wait for villy’s perspective on this on Monday. It’s got to pick up villy’s pov from right before Oras broke the formation.

ThatGuy

I like knowing that there are godly threats out there that the pinnacle gods aren’t completely aware of.

Ryan Ulrich

Endless Empire, Pantheon of Life, The Order, The Void, and probably even The United Beast Tribes. That seems like a lot of people to piss off.

I’m thinking Lodestone Matreon

Lynderyn

2025-08-08 12:49:39 +0000 UTC

Hear me out here, the only major faction who has expressed desire for Jake’s power as the Harbinger and has not been received is that of the robot primordial, Regis or something like that, a few hundred chapters ago after the birth of Vesperia. I think that Regis or whatever her name is will be the ultimate villain and the primordial Jake will slay near the apex of his path

NerdyFellow

2025-08-08 12:49:21 +0000 UTC

A faction just made enemies with the void, the order, and the pantheon all at the same time. If they were not already enemies of the endless empire, they are now. If the idiot from the holy church is involved, it would be the idiots faction and not the entire church. Holy Mother may even kick idiot out as HM already ‘ordered’ Jacob to go against idiot once already

Lynderyn

2025-08-08 12:47:50 +0000 UTC

I was thinking it might be her too, or perhaps even higher up

ThatGuy

2025-08-08 12:45:03 +0000 UTC

While everyone's trying to figure out which faction the 6 god are from, all I can think about is if the void lollipop is ok. Did Jake make it stronger by dragging it towards its gods origin or did he break it?

Damascus

C Smith

2025-08-08 12:42:04 +0000 UTC

I have the a strange feeling that that these guys are after something that’s already there. It has been said that at least one of them is human and the guys on earth had a kind of supremacist mentality so what if they want to use Jake to bring about the next stage of humanity- wouldn’t that be ironic?

Jana

2025-08-08 12:41:39 +0000 UTC

Definitely not the lodestar matron, with Jacob’s interference there’s no way that she didn’t realize something was off. Prolly some group outside the factions we’ve been introduced to

Lewis Long

2025-08-08 12:41:28 +0000 UTC

Ugh 70% filler followed by cliff.... at least the peekaboo line was good. Who knew oras liked kids games, bet he kills at hide and seek too. Lol

C Smith

2025-08-08 12:41:09 +0000 UTC

The best part about all of this, is jake could very easily describe the looks of the gods, or infuse his memory of the looks of the gods allowing villy or other gods to recognize and learn more. However I doubt it will happen

This chapter held lots of fun content! A couple items need editing cleanup but I’ll trust you have an editor so I won’t point them out. One content item I will mention is the length of the explanation at the start of this chapter frustrated me - I was expecting instant action and got many paragraphs of exposition instead. The content was needed - but perhaps it could be shortened? Overall delicious chapter, thanks man!

RedFaux

2025-08-08 12:33:31 +0000 UTC

Lot to unpack on that one. Jake basically giving oras a taste of Jake juice to summon him, a likely entire pantheon of gods who are out to exploit Jake and his prime origin energy, the first steps to a multiversal war caused by the potential breaking of the bloodline pact with the attempted kidnapping of Jake, and a declaration that Jake's origin energy is so damn valuable that many gods wish to get him for themselves. Granted, having Jake basically pump out armies of primeval origin races would be very valuable to anyone, but having him for children, definitely top tier value. Not to mention he kinda already showed he could effect the enlightened when he did the demon ritual back at nevermore

Jack

2025-08-08 12:30:48 +0000 UTC

Guesses on the baddie faction? They seemed desperate for Jake’s help, but entirely unwilling to make a straightforward offer to pay for his help. If it’s the lode star matron (or whatever her name is), does she have some idea for an improved Holy Spirit that could still gain records and advance? Why did she need Jake to willingly take her hand — why not just teleport him back to her sanctuary the minute the pineapple was open?

Clint

2025-08-08 12:30:10 +0000 UTC

(Matron of Light -> Lodestar Matron in the chapters) serves under another Primordial and unless some weird behind the scenes stuff that she(HM) and Viper agreed would not be sanctioned. I also kind a want to see Villy go rampage mode as gods are involved and not just mortals and we see that famous blood lust of his.

2025-08-08 12:29:57 +0000 UTC

kinda insulting to compare him to LeNottheGoat

Good chapter! Looking forward to next week, new story arc yey! I'm confused why it's referring to Oras as 'a Void God', isn't he The Void God, the most powerful one, and there are many other lesser void gods and dweller, who presumably would be below godking level? What hapenned, did these gods all killed themselves? Then why 'till we meet again'? Or just escaped? Then why 'erased from existence'

Michael

2025-08-08 12:29:12 +0000 UTC

With Jake seeing their faces behind the masks, The Sword Saint should do some crime scene sketches to identify these clowns.

Scoutmaster2002

2025-08-08 12:28:02 +0000 UTC

Honestly, I wonder how Zogarth will carry on with this. 1, they pisssed 4 primordials plus X more factions who wanted to cultivate good relations with Jake. 2 what is the possibility that Viper, Oras, Som, Stormild etc do not know who they were or have no means to find out. Oras is "all seeing" Viper has skill for literal omniscience. 3, they seemed quite sure of themselves that their entire factions are not going to be wiped out. ... My guess is Loadstar matron faction of the holly church...

Jan Fúr

2025-08-08 12:27:38 +0000 UTC

I want zog to start a second story but without telling us he let's the comments decide what happens next. glorious mess.

brjenness

2025-08-08 12:27:19 +0000 UTC

The thing is, on the one hand, it would make sense to combine these antagonistic forces, on the other hand I don't really see a consistent goal yet. For example, the gods here seemed rather powerful, but the people on earth were not close to the top of C. And more importantly, I don't see how being a nuisance on earth is the same as kidnapping Jake. It had no effect on this attempt that I could see. Perhaps if the nuisance would have been enough to draw him away from the PoL?

Namorat

2025-08-08 12:26:11 +0000 UTC

Not just that. This could be a violation of the bloodline accords. Plus it's really bad form for gods to go after C grades. Much less C grade divine blessed of two primordials and the right hand and representative of a primordial. So whoever they are, they just offended 4 primordials and possibly Oras.

MrCynical

2025-08-08 12:25:59 +0000 UTC

Great new arc! I am looking forward to what is there to come! They dont seem stupid, so they must be either very desperate to have Jake help them, or they expect great gains from it that outweight the risks. Lets see what they will cook up next and who is behind it. I love reading all the speculations here

Well at least the cliffhanger is the talk with Oris and the other gods. Good chapter! Had me all excited for this morning's chapter and was not disappointed in the least. I am wondering if this is the same god making trouble on Earth, Probably or at least the same Pantheon. Think even Stormild is coming? Villy and Nature attendant are for sure on their way. I am curious if Clock is on his way. I am going to say he is till Monday at least. Power meeting in the Void. To bad Jake wasn't able to land a hit or something before they deleted themselves. Maybe he would have gotten the divine heretic title. (Or whatever the title is called) I know he will get the title at some point, it is just how early he will get the title. Again tftc. Yesterday's and today's chapters had me all excited while reading.

I think Villy is gonna be pissed, this is a slap in the face to him as well. There are gods out there that think they could kidnap his chosen and get away with it?

It’s just Villy…it states filled with bloodlust and a presence that seems to erode the void. The description for the same being.

LadyTempest

2025-08-08 12:14:36 +0000 UTC

I feel like politically they made quite the error, Making a direct enemy of 4 primordials, aeon clock, stormild (and pretty much all elementals), Yggdrasil (and natures attendant) with the pantheon of life faction, Villy with the order, as well as minaga the all god legion (he will be quite displeased cause these guys are too entertaining), not to mention the endless empire, and the most likely the demons(maybe just the fourth hell) , probably Valdemars faction as well cause he wants Jake to be a really challenge when he is older, umbra is invested in Jake as well, I imagine Jake is too enteresting with his boots to eversmile, the holy mother and blight father both like him, vampires like him( and atleast one god vampire like sword saint), wyrm god atleast likes him and pretty much all dragons want to kiss his butt so far, probably gonna end up being a war against the new gods from all these old behemoths. Kinda wonder if it was the remnants of yip of yore’s former group wanting to try and revive him. Or if it’s just the matron of light or whatever from the holy church side branch and it will lead to her group getting ousted from the andromeda galaxy in the milky ways new war to keep people growing,

Oh dear me, am I smelling a second divine war in this story? Jake's not even B tier :3

David Abellán Muñoz

2025-08-08 12:13:15 +0000 UTC

Nah. It's some faction that very much needs or wants that primal energy for something. Lodestar has no known need or desire for that. I'm personally unsure of what this faction could be. Nothing from my recent reread indicated a faction desperate for something returned to Origin.

2025-08-08 12:10:53 +0000 UTC

Whos the aura with the bloodlush and whos the one eroding the void. Im like 95% sure bloodlush is villy. But the other no idea

tom husband

2025-08-08 12:07:59 +0000 UTC

Not anymore. I think this was enough to pay Jake back for almost killing him earlier... That sounds a lot worse in our world than in story.

Kristoffer

2025-08-08 12:07:39 +0000 UTC

Man I cannot wait for Villy’s response. It seems that even with killing Yip of Yore people still don’t seem to recall who they are fucking with. He is the MALEFIC Viper, not the ‘sweet and kind’ viper, or the ‘only kill occasionally’ viper. Or even the ‘I fight wars all the time’ viper which would be warlike but understandable. Malefic shows a certain vindictiveness and a willingness to, well, be ‘evil’. In short, they have fucked around. With the chosen of a god who literally cannot forget anything. They will find out! Woooooop!

And now she never wants to again either😂

Cees Tollenaar

2025-08-08 12:05:15 +0000 UTC

Not sure about that. Oras very well might know the first sage and have made promises to him regarding Jake. And don't forget the other void god that visited with Oras and his designation and comment for Jake. "Human of Origins Lost. Beings of Paths Once Untraveled... seek thy meaning, realize and ascend." To me it seems like the void gods know much more about Jake and the creatures he's bringing about more than anything or anyone else. And they are for it.

MrCynical

Biggy smalls

2025-08-08 12:03:06 +0000 UTC

The Bloodline Accords were broken! Does this mean Villy is about to delete another section of the MV? Side note: Do y'all remember Eversmile doing a project when William became a heretic? Coincidence I think not!

Jordan

2025-08-08 11:59:11 +0000 UTC

I imagine after juicing Oras lollipop he’ll get another one? He effectively just gave Oras a snack? Then again Oras did just save all their asses… I think he’d still make Jake another one. They’re friends.

I’m guessing that’s a VERY expensive favor from Ora’s to Villy that Jake cashed in there.

Roland Haller

2025-08-08 11:58:28 +0000 UTC

He killed off his dragon form in the fight with YOY. I don't exactly remember why he did it, but it had to do with records I believe

Bale

2025-08-08 11:55:07 +0000 UTC

Quite sound smug? Feels more off than the current version imho. "Indicating" or "an indication" are both possible. Ware is correct. He is offering his singular ware of Jake Juice. His head is fine as is. "Headache" isn't the same as "his head"? One is an ailment, another an anatomical description.

What a magnificent Cliff. Will Oras be able to ID the baddies? Which gods will show up, and will they be able to ID the baddies? Will Justice ever be done? But most of all, will Jake still have a perception marble to lick when the void dust settles??

Clint

2025-08-08 11:53:45 +0000 UTC

Think they died the main female god was with her avatar so she might experience weakness for some time but they definitely died can’t have anything leading back to them and it’s unlikely they could have escaped Oras who’s the level of a primordial in his own territory without leaving clues

Guesses at the offending party of bloodline accord breakers? I am leaning towards the Lode Star Matron lady( whoever mentioned her yesterday in the comments had a great idea!) who was working behind the Holy Mothers back and there is a sweet execution ceremony in a few chapters with a buncha primordials looking on…..or some new god we haven’t met and the issue is long and drawn out!?!? The Viper turning her into some bling for Jake to wear as a necklace via alchemy would be nice punishment too🤣

Bryan Wilson

Hope he gets a replacement from Oras tho. It's one of the most powerful path-boosting items he has

Cees Tollenaar

2025-08-08 11:49:49 +0000 UTC

So does this mean Jake owes Oras?

Rewdan

2025-08-08 11:49:35 +0000 UTC

Unless they were avatars and not their true bodies

Narvendel

2025-08-08 11:49:34 +0000 UTC

I don't know, but based on Oras speech he said all paths predicted so the gift was for this moment. Jake might have gotten perception out of the marble but it was meant for this moment and him showing up and saving group has balanced the scales

Mike

2025-08-08 11:48:59 +0000 UTC

No fr, my fingers hurt from dangling off this cliff

Adam Taylor

2025-08-08 11:48:52 +0000 UTC

Considering Jake saw their real faces with his sphere, identifying them when so powerful should take minutes when the Primordials arrive

Rewdan

He also mentioned a future exchange and i wonder if the lollipop was also part payment for that. Which has now been cashed in early for a save

Ughhh I hate weekends, thanks for the chapter!! Rip void lollipop

Violet

2025-08-08 11:48:36 +0000 UTC

TFTC :) Even with the description I was thinking jake was using OE on the demonlord heart. Should have guessed Void Lollipop from the jump. Who are these shady bastards? Well at least Sylphie and friends are safe for the weekend :) Have fun all and catch you Monday. Suggested edits: "didn’t sound quite smug" should be "quite sound" "her words indication she was at" should be "indicating" "Dungeon Pioneer title could need some work." odd phrasing either just "needs" or "could do with " "as I know the ware I’m offering is" should be "wares" and "are" since ive never heard of ware being used in the singular in this context. Switch to "work" if youre sticking with "is" at the end. "placating the delusion, arrogant Chosen," should be "deluded" or "delusional" "An incredible headache rocked his head, " repetition. Change to "him" "location and were about to arrive imminently." unnecessary since "about to arrive" means the same thing. If you want the word "imminent" in tehre youd have to rephrase the whole last paragraph to something like "With the barrier gone and their location discovered, the void fell silent. Several auras could be felt approaching fast, heralding the imminent arrival of more than a couple of gods"

Xander

2025-08-08 11:48:35 +0000 UTC

Oras the all seeing, sees everything in or that passes through the void, I’m surprised he wasn’t there faster but with Jake corrupting the bead he had some benefits to gain and swung through

Eryn Warrick

2025-08-08 11:47:30 +0000 UTC

The real danger of offending a Void God is that for most gods their Divine Realm is located in the Void. "Good luck finding it" But this is Oras, good luck hiding from him.

Phallusar

2025-08-08 11:46:59 +0000 UTC

Didn't he do a favor for Oras by bringing a package to Arnold?

Raymond Lenihan

2025-08-08 11:46:40 +0000 UTC

To clarify the void lollipop was not a gift but payment for intercepting him for artys gift. I guess this is Oras saying payment is fulfilled

Chegs

2025-08-08 11:46:32 +0000 UTC

Yes that was close

Rewdan

2025-08-08 11:46:14 +0000 UTC

Clint

2025-08-08 11:45:41 +0000 UTC

My initial thought was she killed herself and the other 5 to prevent discovery of who they work for but then she said their paths would cross in the future, so that implosion was an escape treasure I’m going to assume and not a suicide “pill” so to speak.

Jordan Rogers

Well Jake’s services are priceless so giving some primeval origins energy to Oras is a good way to get the void to fix your problems!

Rick

2025-08-08 11:44:43 +0000 UTC

Jake Juice is a never before seen thing. It seems plausible she can't sense it. She wanted jake to walk out, just didn't expect there to be two of him (yeah.. a god of that level should have seen that). I may be wrong, but I think he's wearing his mask... no facial twitches to read. Idk, it may be just divine arrogance at play.

Kevin Hargett

2025-08-08 11:41:15 +0000 UTC

Doubtful: these people are breaking the Bloodline Accords, which are signed and enforced by Rigoria and the Automata Legion — I don’t think she’d be capable of doing this without experiencing consequences she wouldn’t wish to suffer.

Alex

2025-08-08 11:41:09 +0000 UTC

Caity O'Connell

How is the god this weak? I mean... her thoughts seem to be really slow. She's stronger than Artemis. But somehow she flinched noticeably when they saw through her disguise. She didn't notice Jake was infusing the marble and she was too slow to stop Jake from walking out the barrier? She should be able to think wayyyy faster than this. React way faster. Idk, read his brainwaves or minor facial twitches and be forwarned. Or simply see what he's doing and react quicker than Jake can perceive. But probably she was just too arrogant to consider she didn't have everything under full control. And thus let him do his plan, cause she never thought it would work in the first place. Maybe thought that he'd be more cooperative if it failed

Alex

2025-08-08 11:40:19 +0000 UTC

They were using avatars most likely

Jordan Rogers

2025-08-08 11:40:18 +0000 UTC

I guess this new divine faction is connected to the people who told William to warn Jake about elhakens planet

Luis

Well… Artemis was complaining about never having the chance of meeting a Void God.

Alejandro Piña

2025-08-08 11:39:55 +0000 UTC

Congrats to the people who predicted oras. Honestly didn't know how the void god worked so I didn't put out that theory myself. In hindsight, it would make sense invocation and pride wouldn't work considering the barrier they were working with. No mythical skill could overcome this.

Karim Saadi

2025-08-08 11:37:41 +0000 UTC

"He Who Hunts, compensations owed" Is compensation owed because Oras got some of his Perception back or was the marble not everything?

Fdrugc

2025-08-08 11:37:02 +0000 UTC

So what, they self deleted, minus the one using an avatar. Why would godkings/queens do that? Furthermore, who has enough power and influence to make them do so? Maybe the mecha people, I forget their name, but the enemy of the endless empire (insect).

Dalton Dawes

Well, he got out of the first battle, but this war does not seem like it's over. They want Jake for something, likely Origin Energy related, and are willing to go to drastic measures to get his help. That their first attempt was kidnapping does not bode well for the future. Still, gods getting involved means that Villy can also get involved. And they must be pretty up their own ass to think they can get one over on him.
