Chapter 58: Historical projection

Chapter 58: Historical projection

Aucuses floated in the infinite space above the beautiful planet. His gaze travelled across the northern continent, witnessing chaos and war.

Under his command, the angels of the six churches began to invade the Solomon Empire and eliminate any resistance. The light and thunder blazed across the empire, wreaking havoc.

He saw the cities being engulfed in flame and lightning storms. The screams of pain echoed in his ears before being silenced forever.

Chaos. Destruction. War. Fear.

He saw it all in the continent beneath him. He was well aware that he was the source of all of this. His eyes reflected the burning people and destroyed lands.

Even so, he was indifferent. Seeing the devastation caused by his actions, his heart didn't even flutter with any emotions.

This was not because his divinity made him apathetic. He didn't try to deceive himself into believing that these were necessary sacrifices for a new and prosperous era to arrive; in fact, he couldn't care less.

Other than his own people, he was completely unconcerned about others. He didn't care what happened to them as long as those he cared about were safe and his goal was met.

He recognised his own selfishness. But that's just who he is. He wasn't going to change that for anyone or anything.....

"Did you find Solomon?" Amanises asked.

She was floating alongside him in the infinite space, turning to look at him.

"You know, there are times when I truly despise fate." Aucuses stated as he raised the purple book in his hands.

"I didn't expect him to distort my misfortune at the last minute." Amanises said, looking away.

"It isn't your fault. Your concealment couldn't last much longer." Aucuses said as the purple book in his hand began to shimmer with light. "In addition, Solomon gave up on attempting to stabilise his body and mind. He's still as daring and reckless as ever."

"Fate, on the other hand, does not favour him." Amanises added ethereally, "Even though your attack was unsuccessful and he managed to escape thanks to his luck." With a chuckle, she emphasised luck. "Ultimately, he was still affected by twilight."

"Come on." Aucuses spoke up suddenly, his eyes glowing purple. "I tracked him down. He is in his divine kingdom which in the sky of no-man's land. Despite his situation, he seemed have made every effort to cover his entire kingdom in many distorted rules in order to keep us from finding him. But, it's a shame he's facing me..." He said it with a smile.

"Is it because of information?" Amanises inquired ethereally, as she looked at the purple book.

"Let's go." Aucuses said nothing in response to her question. He did, in fact, track down Solomon's hiding place using the information he used to corrupt him. "He's mostly on the verge of losing control. Let's get rid of him once and for all."

"So, it's indeed information." Amanises concluded in ethereal tone, simply after hearing him.

Aucuses sighed, and turned to look at her. "There is not a lot of time..." He paused and looked down on northern continent, as his face become solemn.

"Adam.." Aucuses murmured as his gaze was drawn to Blaise, who was holding a book, and Adam, who was walking towards Blaise.

Adam appeared to have noticed his gaze and looked up, staring at him with a gentle smile. Before, averting his gaze and approaching Blaise.

Blaise was given the mission of Lucas to take the Grossele travels from Mobet Zoroast. Because of the chaos, Blaise completed the mission quickly. He had already left the Solomon Empire under his arrangements.

He is also now certain that the Grossele travels is a sequence-1 characteristic of the visionary pathway.

However, Adam intercepted Blaise. Quite "Coincidently", there were also present in no man's land.

Aucuses was getting a headache as he considered the possibilities.

And he can't descend personally because Solomon is still alive. But it does not come to a point where there is no other option. He had already told Blaise what he should do in this situation. He knew that there would be situations like this in the war of gods, so he devised a perfect counter-plan.

However, he is unsure whether he will succeed in the end, given that he is up against his formed lord.

As darkness and light collided, a twisted divine kingdom appeared in the sky above the vast expanse of light and darkness.

'Now!' When Blaise noticed the angel of imagination focusing elsewhere, he seized the opportunity.

'Knowledge.' As the purple charm in his pocket began to glow with light, he uttered in his mind.

Then, an endless torrent of information and knowledge poured down on Adam's mind.

Actually, Blaise knew that this attack would have no effect on the angel of imagination. But this was done to buy him some time.

Then, Blaise quickly stretched out his right hand to grab the air.

A figure appeared in front of him as he drew his arm back.

The man had neat blonde hair and golden eyes. He was dressed in white robes with a sun emblem. He had attractive features and exuded a gentle aura.

This was the historical projection of Lucas, Angel of light.

The historical projection of Lucas that he summoned, on the other hand, was somewhat special.

As he looked at Adam, the angel of light's dimmed eyes regained their brilliance, and divine aura erupted from him.

His figure emitted an endless stream of pure light, as though the sun itself had descended on the world.

The lord had descended into the world on occasion, using Lucas as a vessel. He summoned Lucas' historical projection from one of those specific times.

This projection was now equivalent to a portion of his Lord!

Adam cast a glance at Blaise. He didn't seem to be affected by Blaise's attack in the least. He just stood there and watched, not intervening.

His gaze was drawn to the figure emitting pure light.

"Adam..." Aucuses smiled. "It's been an a while."

An illusory divine kingdom floated in the sky, in an endless state of disorder and chaos.

A colossal sword slashed through a section of chaos, as rays of light and darkness shone into the kingdom, causing a portion of the area to return to day and night.

Aucuses emerged from the light, holding a massive sword that hung down naturally, causing the tip to touch the ground.

"Your bravery and boldness astounds me, Solomon." He laughed. "However, it's not going to change your predetermined fate any time soon."

Then, Aucuses walked forward, his sword being dragged across the chaos, causing the illusory ground to split apart, producing glimmers of pure sunlight.

Deep within the chaos, Solomon sat on his ruined throne. His figure had changed drastically from before.

His long black hair had turned white, and his face and body were wrinkled. His royal robes were ripped, and his black crown was shattered.

His eyes were tightly shut, and his expression was twisted as his body trembled. He appeared to be in endless pain and agony.

Solomon's closed eyes opened as he heard Aucuses' voice echo in his ears. He looked tremblingly at the Aucuses who had invaded his kingdom.

As the darkness thickened, Amanises appeared in the night, holding a massive scythe and a crimson moon.

She flitted towards Solomon as soon as she descended, following Aucuses.
