Chapter 431: Star, Taurus (6)
Star Palace, the central divine ground of <Horoscope>.
The Star Signs knew all too well that the sun and moon were the ones that brightened up the whole world, but they were starting to think that Tiamats eyes had replaced those two celestial beings.
Tiamat grinned as she arrogantly looked down at the Star Palace. Its funny. This is the first time Ive seen you people together since you would all always run whenever youre faced with a crisis. Twilight really hit you in the nerves, huh?
Even the Star Signs thought Tiamat, who was known to be as big as an Outer Celestial, was gigantic. She exuded a presence so powerful that they felt as if they were nothing for the first time since they became transcendental beings.
Anyway
Boom. Booom. Booooom.
The <Anti-Star> Alliance was still bombarding the entire Star Palace as they spoke.
I never thought I would meet another one of my dearest in a place like this.
Tiamats eyes narrowed as she scanned Nemea the Leo. Compared to his appearance earlier, he now looked very rugged. His silky cloak was scorched and in tatters, and half of his mask was destroyed, revealing a part of his face. He looked so similar to Chang-Sun that even Tiamat was surprised.
I dont think youre a crude clone or a homunculus
[Seeing the face of the Celestial Leo greatly shocks the Celestial A Good Season to Hunt!]
Ive only heard about this, but are you Twilight from another Worldline? Even if you two have the same potential, the chances of you both achieving <Transcendence> should have been quite low. This is remarkable!
[The Celestial World-Encircling Serpent expresses his curiosity, saying that he will be able to study the secret of Worldlines and the Great Universe!]The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
I knew I picked a fine man to be my dearest.
[The face of the Celestial Twilight-Piercing Owl darkens.]
Listening to Tiamat annoyed Nemea. Both his enemies and allies were starting to view him differently.
[The Celestial Sky and Earths Connecting Wing shouts!]
[The Celestial War-Loving Fighting Deity flexes his pectoral muscles, wishing to fight the Celestial Leo!]
[Having two Divine Twilights makes the Celestial Madness Infuser happy, thinking explosions would be twice as brilliant now!]
[The Celestial A Blacksmith in a Volcano raises his glass!]
[The Celestial Cancer looks at the Celestial Leo in bewilderment.]
[The Celestial Capricorn hesitates, unsure how to react.]
[The Celestial Libra declares that they should not worry about the betrayal of the Celestial Leo.]
This is why I didnt want to take off my mask! Nemea knew that he was the same being as Chang-Sun.
Ever since Bel-Marduk had appointed Nemea as Leo, he had always told him that it would be best not to take his mask off because it could lead to misunderstandings that would put him in danger.
Divine Twilight was a taboo even among the Zodiacs. They won the last war, but they sustained a great deal of damage in the process. They would certainly try to harm Nemea if they were to find out that he and Divine Twilight were the same.
Nemea was confident that he could take on any Star Sign. After all, there was a good reason he was leading <Horoscope> with Taurus. However, it would still be troublesome to deal with their challenges, especially in the middle of a crisis like this.
However, Tiamat was strong. She was so powerful that he couldnt even believe someone like her could exist outside the Original Worldline.
Nemeas eyes narrowed. Should I turn into my true form?
While mulling over his thoughts, a bright lightning bolt and a dark lightning bolt hit the ground on either side of him.
Rumble! Rummmble!
[The Celestial Sky-Resemble has descended!]
[The Celestial Malignity-Drinking Saturn has descended!]
The bright lightning bolt turned into Michael, his dozens of sets of white wings shining brilliantly. At the same time, the dark lightning bolt transformed into Satan. He was wearing darkness as if it were a cloak.
Sun Heaven and Transformation Heaven. We have three of the Nine Heavens present now.
Tiamat the Faraway Heaven, Michael the Sun Heaven, and Satan the Transformation heaven. The Nine Heavens were the symbols of Worldline #801. This many Nine Heavens had never been in the same place at the same time, not even in ancient times. The fact that they took quite a long time to take action during the <Myth War> as well only made this encounter all the more remarkable.
Satan and Michael naturally didnt care, though. Tiamat was just having fun, too.
Tiamat. This is your last warning. Stop this madness and return to your original Worldline, Michael solemnly said.
Sun Heaven referred to the southeastern sky, which was where sunlight shone down the most. The faint sacred light Michael exuded was as warm and beautiful as morning sunlight, but anyone who knew him would know about the destruction that would befall the world should his wrath blend into his sunlight.
Crassssh!
All the glass chambers in the room simultaneously exploded, sending glass shards flying up in the air. The Lee Chang-Suns in them died one after another, their limbs drooping.
In that moment, the world revolved around Odin. Not even Chang-Suns and Bel-Marduks divine grounds could affect him despite being right inside it. His every word and gesture performed miracles and created laws of nature and phenomena.
Odin was a Celestial of magic who could manipulate the world with sheer willpowerno, he was magic itself. Magic seemingly existed solely for him, a feat only a Celestial Kinga being at the zenith of a Worldlinewas capable of accomplishing.
Come! Odin yelled once more, still holding his staff in the air.
Pzzzzz
The Lee Chang-Sun corpses all over the floor were pulverized, and their particles flew toward Odin. They spun around him, creating a vortex, as he slowly moved forward.
Tap.
Odins first step looked very light, but its effect was by no means insignificant. When the vortex of particles trembled profusely, his faint sacred light grew brighter and filled up the room. Having absorbed the other Chang-Suns souls to make up for his unstable connection, he completely merged with his new body.
At that moment, Chang-Sun came to a realization.
Odin had resurrected.
Thud.
Now that he had completely restored his Divine Class, the Spiritual Pressure he emitted began to make the divine ground shake.
Tap, tap.Thud, thud.
Odin took his second and third steps, causing the tremors to grow stronger. Jin was holding his breath now, Odins presence overwhelming him so much that he felt as if he could no longer maintain his existence.
Thud, thud, thud
Odin smiled as he glanced at Jin, finding him adorable. By the time he walked past him, his footsteps were no longer just affecting Babylonia but also the Twilight-Setting Battlefield. No, it was affecting even the areas outside the divine grounds.
[The old Celestial Cane-Holding Father of Warriors has regained his Divine Class, speeding up his resurrection.]
[A past Celestial King is about to resurrect!]
Odin stopped in front of where the Nereid Stone used to be.
Unveil.
With a light wave of his hand, a spatial gap opened, revealing the Nereid Stone.
Jins jaw dropped to the floor. He had put the stone in the [Kings Treasury] earlier himself. He was sure of it. Unfortunately, Odin seemed to have no problem pulling it out.
Thud!
Keough! Jin fell to his knees when he tried to stop him, the pressure on his shoulders preventing him from taking even just a couple of steps. As if someone had nailed him in place, he couldnt even move an inch.
You worship me in awe as my follow. A true god never harms their follower, Odin said, smiling faintly at Jin. As he turned serious again, he reached out for the Nereid Stone.
Awaken.
As soon as Odin touched the Nereid Stone, a massive amount of light poured out and filled the area. A moment later, Chang-Sun could no longer see anything through Jins eyes.
Booooom!
However, he did notice Babylonia blowing up and crumbling down from the sky. Green fog spread out as fragments of Bel-Marduks pulverized divine ground fell.
[The Nereid Stones seal has been deactivated, allowing its toxin to fan out.]
[Gaias Curse is spreading!]
The green fog accumulated and began to move like a living creature. It soared into the sky of Babylonia and melted it down, opening up a wormhole. While most of the green fog went into the wormhole, some traveled downward, engulfing Bel-Marduks subordinates and soldiers with [Gaias Curse].
Arrrghhh!
Wh-what is this?!
D-Dear Lord, please savekeough!
Pandemonium broke out. Screams and laments echoed from all over the area as the fogs victims melted.
The Nereid Stone is the Mother Terra Celestials wrath, the <Myth>-dismantling [Gaias Curse] itself! Bel-Marduk exclaimed, criticizing Chang-Sun. How can you handle it so reck
I know.
Bel-Marduk froze. What?
I said I know. Chang-Sun smiled coldly, making Bel-Marduk finally realize that all of this was part of his plan.
