Chapter 155: Crown

Chapter 155: Crown

The War of the Gods ended. The Black Emperor and the Blood Emperor fell. Across the world, the crimson darkness emitting the authority of war and disorder was engulfed in pure brilliance.

The colossal statues of the Black Emperor and Blood Emperor collapsed across the Solomon Empire and Tudor Empire, declaring the demise of the Emperors for the world.

In the astral world, the pure brilliance that engulfed everything receded into obscurity, making the entire solar system plunge into darkness.

The sun disappeared with all of the fabric of reality within the astral world, leaving only the starless void. The three planets were unaffected by the aftermath of the battle of gods due to the protection of the God of Steam and Machinery. Though with the disappearance of the sun, the planets in their trajectory abruptly stopped.

Suddenly, there was a golden spark, then a fire, and then an inferno, roaring in the centre of the solar system. It rose high and high, morphing into a fluorescent orb, larger and larger, dwarfing everything.

With a thud, the eternal sun reappeared, shattering the darkness, sending out infinite light and warmth, illuminating it all in a golden ethereal glow. The collapsed reality began to heal visibly

The frozen plants in their trajectory resumed as the gravity of the sun shrouded them, making it all slowly return to normal.

The Eternal Blazing Sun emerged from the infinite brilliance of the sun, holding the crimson crown, symbolising victory for all gods.

Sasrir, the True Creator, looked at Aucuses silently before leaving the Astral World and returning to his kingdom in the forsaken land of the gods.

Herabergan, The God of Knowledge and Wisdom, closed his ominiscent book. His figure faded away from the astral world without staying for another moment.

Artisan, the God of Steam and Machinery, retrieved his scroll of civilization from Earth and returned to the floating continent.

Badhiel, the God of Combat, was near Lilith, checking in on her before turning and lightly nodding to Aucuses, his figure disappearing in the twilight.

The Night Emperor removed the black crown from his head, also nodding to the Eternal Blazing Sun, and returned to the Palace of Eternity.

Cheek, Primordial Demoness, looked on at the crimson crown held by the Eternal Blazing Sun with obvious reluctance, but she finally sighed, turning back and disappearing into the material world.

Amanises, the Evernight Goddess, exchanged glances with the Eternal Blazing Sun, fading away into the obscurity of darkness.

The astral world plunged into silence with the departure of the gods, leaving only the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Earth Mother.

Under the illumination of the sun, Aucuses appeared before Lilith, immediately embracing her. His arms were lightly quivering.

"I am sorry." He mumbled. "I am sorry." The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Oh.." Lilith got out of his embrace, her hands on his cheeks, making him look into her vibrant eyes. "It's okay. It's not your fault; don't blame yourself."

"Still.." Aucuses drawled, his arms around her tightening. "I almost lost you."

Lilith sighed. She seemed not that affected by all that happened, but her heavily quivering arms told a completely different story.

"Amanises still didn't slay Antigonus." Lilith asked, accurately inferring from his words.

"No." Aucuses shook his head. "She almost succeeded, but my call and the situation forced her to descend into the astral world."

He suddenly closed his eyes, brows furrowing. Immediately, he stood up from the seat and gulped down the hot coffee in one go.

"What happened?..." Lilith asked, standing up with him.

"There is a situation in Hornacis Mountain. I need to go. Amanises is already on the way." He extended his hand, shaking it in front of her, after noticing her actions. "You are not coming. It can be as dangerous as what happened a few hours ago."

"All the more reasons I should come." Lilith said, adamantly.

"Trust me on this, Lilith." Aucuses said deeply, holding her hand.

Lilith finally sighed before taking out pure black crystals from her gown and passing it to him.

"Here. Take this. These are my tears. It contains my authority as well as uses it to summon me. " She said, solemnly "Don't hesitate, Aucuses, if things get worse. I can take care of myself."

Aucuses nodded, receiving her tears. Then, he leaned in for a light kiss, his figure breaking away into light particles.

"Wait for me"

His voice lingered in the air as the particles faded away, leaving Lilith alone in the desolate city.

Hornacis Mountain.

The crimson brilliance seeped through the white clouds, illuminating the main peak of Hornacis Mountain.

The armies of the church of Eternal Blazing Sun and Evernight Goddess occupied the plains like an ocean, troop by troop, company by company, huddled together, marching towards the nation of night ruled by the Antigonus Family.

However, they suddenly stopped. The crimson brilliance of the moon burned away the darkness, revealing a gigantic demonic wolf perched on the top of the peak.

Its rage-filled laurel black eyes looked down on the armies.
