Chapter 596
But history as a whole has been in a smooth transition.
In the most virtuous and least harmful way that Deity could conceive, they relinquished the Seat of the Primates to their successors—humankind.
Everyone takes their own disappearance for granted.
Whoever it is, they will only leave behind an inheritance, taking it all for granted.
They give everything to the succeeding Deity without reservation, even forgetting their own existence.
What an extraordinary, selfless, and magnificent sacrifice!
Whether they are the Supreme Being gods with names and titles, or the Nameless great men who serve them, they all dedicate their entire lives to passing on their legacy to the next generation of humanity.
When Erice opened her eyes again, all the illusions before her had vanished.
She was left all alone, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a grand and real dream.
However, the vast torrent of knowledge in my mind proved that it was true.
[Poimandres Wisdom
"Ah..."
Indeed, Erice thought.
Indeed, until now, he has never truly used the abilities of "Poimandres" as "Wisdom".
She has always relied more on Great Lord of the East force than on her own thinking, and has never truly used her brain.
It is precisely because Erice has never used the Wisdom of the "Lord's Mind".
So no one knows the intensity of her actions when she gets serious.
No one knows what "the Lord's Mind" is.
Everyone misjudged where its existence ends and where its "Wisdom" reaches its peak.
And now, here.
Utsumi Erice unleashed her original power for the first time.
[Poimandres - Fully Unfolded]
An unusual event has occurred in the Inner Sea of Stars.
The "Universe" was born.
This is something that should not have been born on the inner side of the Planet.
A magnificent, beautiful, and infinitely possible... even malevolent "galaxy" surrounded Erice, shining as if blessing her.
A vast, dormant aura from various mythologies responded to Erice's plan.
"I am who I am, you are, all things are!"
Even if you can't hear it clearly at all, you can still tell it's a real name.
It is a Divinity phrase used to express special Authority.
The Sacred Phrase thundered past, and a torrent of silver and white energy burst forth from within Erice.
Therefore--
One of the pinnacles of Alchemical Theology, the Lord's Mind, Poimandres, began to imbue Chaos with Order, thus initiating the birth of mythology.
"The vortex of Chaos surges at this moment, the countdown to the End Times has come to a close! Miracles forged from mortal bodies, fearless will that traverses the sea of the Star Sea! Assemble, final blade piercing through Divine Authority!"
Deafening Crash deafening clang of mechanical gears Gears, along with the low-frequency thunder, gradually intensified in the Inner Sea of Stars where Erice.
The humming sound produced when space is distorted permeates the entire piece.
"Liberation! Maya Star, bearing hope! Liberation! Ancient Sea, tearing apart Order! Liberation! Drinking the final Fate of Wisdom! Liberation! Forging the divine scales of reincarnation!"
Corinth carved columns, bronze sculptures, Fenrir wolf head tapestry, gold Scarab, Sun calendar tapestry, Shimenawa curtain, hanging mistletoe balls...
All the legacy of mythology transformed into blazing white pillars of light, weaving together in the void to form an enormous Gears array, with purple Thunderbolt churning wildly across the sky above the array.
Erice raised her arm high.
"--You are the rebel against God! The ultimate Godslaying weapon, forged from the furnace of Primate and Deity, and blueprinted with the struggle against Fate!"
The atmosphere exploded, and the stars trembled.
This is an extremely orthodox power belonging to the "gods".
"Authority is here reforged into mechanical fangs, Heavens the stars are your arrows—descend! Cleanse the corrupt heavens with the thunder and fire of divine annihilation!"
He is clearly a god, yet he claims to want to Godslaying.
They are clearly one, yet they repel each other.
That's the contradiction.
It was precisely because of this contradiction that Erice instantly realized that the being about to be created, a machine similar to the all-god Zeus, actually had room for further integration.
However, because the speed at which knowledge was processed in her brain was so fast, Erice had no time to process this vast amount of thoughts.
The next second--
The Midrash space where Shekinah was located suddenly collapsed.
A colossal, entirely mechanical divine body tore apart the dimensions of concepts.
The instant those wings of light unfurled, the resulting thunderstorm engulfed every corner of the battlefield.
In stark contrast to Typhon, the Star of Calamity, which is entirely dark purple.
It uses pure silver and white as the main colors, paired with bright gold that symbolizes divinity, to create a streamlined mecha appearance full of Future technology.
The Limbs are heavily armed, with thick arms equipped with cannons and energy rings, and the hands seem to release lightning when clenched; the legs are shaped like sharp blades, equipped with light-emitting components, and support the massive fuselage.
Its overall image is filled with all the beautiful visions that humankind can imagine regarding "power" and "justice".
Its arrival stunned the entire audience.
"The spear of Godslaying across the realm is revealed! Humanity's greatest, final, and ultimate strike to annihilate Calamity! Roar, Supreme Being weapon that shatters the End Times!"
Its name is,
"--God-Slaying Weapon: Sky-Thunder Ship - Zeus!"
588: With a bloodless sacrifice, Shekinah declares victory (1w3k5)
Silver, white, and gold.
Three Divinity colors intertwine, fuse, and finally take shape.
Its form is similar to Shekinah's "Ultimate Great Satan" and Pradyumna's "Star of Calamity", all being giant structures in the hundreds of meters range. However, the "aura" emanating from its existence is completely different from the former two.
If the Ultimate Great Satan is the absolute, unique, and self-enclosed "divine majesty";
If Typhon, the Star of Calamity, is the embodiment of Revenge, encompassing all the concepts of Godslaying in mythology and specializing in hatred;
Therefore, the new mech named "Sky-Thunder Ship Zeus," born here at this moment, is a "human legacy" forged from countless legends, countless sacrifices, and countless wills.
Not Angel.
It is not Demon.
It is not Deity from any single mythological system.
This is a weapon.
It is the ultimate weapon of "humanity," constructed for the ultimate purpose of "Godslaying."
Unlike the Star of Calamity, which embodies the concept of Godslaying from mythology, the concept of Godslaying on the Sky-Thunder Ship is based on "humanity".
That's enough.
Because the "Midrash" that Shekinah relied on also became so powerful because of people's singing and Faith.
"Eep... never built this..."
Epsilon's deep blue eyes were filled with confusion and shock.
"But... it's amazing, so beautiful... even more beautiful than Typhon of Eep..."
Unable to find a suitable word.
It was a creation that transcended Epsilon's cognitive framework, giving her a sense of familiarity with its origins in "weapons," yet also inspiring an indescribable awe due to its immense size, completeness, and near-"Mothership" concept.
Those on both sides, located at the heart of the battlefield and directly facing this pressure, experience it more directly.
Wrath.
It swept over Shekinah's entire body once again.
This wasn't just yet another challenger appearing before her.
This is blasphemy.
This is the most Pride and unforgivable blasphemy against the new "divine" realm that Shekinah has reached, the ultimate pinnacle.
The "losers," long since obsolete and submerged by her "new Order," have actually pieced together their last, decaying remnants and handed them over to a mere "human being" to use against them?
What Pride!
How incredibly foolish!
How utterly unforgivable!
"A collection of Impostor..."
After a moment of anger, Shekinah's voice returned to calm.
"Even if you pile up garbage, it's still garbage."
The giant fist of Ultimate Great Satan, frozen in light, began to move slowly once more.
It lacks astonishing speed, yet carries a weighty sense of crushing reality.
An Authority field that redefines reality is wrapped around the fist.
This is the Authority of "Genesis".
It was God who said, "Let there be light," and thus light gained absolute authority.
Therefore, when God says, "Be nothing," the strange object before us should rightfully become nothingness.
I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.
Erice's voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
The sound did not come from an external loudspeaker, but rather, like the purest thought, resounded directly in the depths of the consciousness of every living being.
The silver-white Machine God moved.
Sky-Thunder Ship Zeus.
It ignored the attack that Shekinah considered ultimate, which contained the Authority "erasure," and simply slowly raised its right hand, its five fingers spread.
The movements are simple and straightforward.
Yet it seemed to have stirred up some similar, or even more ancient, Authority.
The Ultimate Great Satan's fist suddenly stopped less than ten meters away from Zeus.
A thin layer of golden light appeared silently in front of the palm.
Countless runes flowed across that luminous membrane, including Norse Rune, Egypt holy books, and Celtic Ogham... Countless long-lost Wisdom belonging to the Age of Gods now together formed an absolute and inviolable divine shield.
Shekinah's "erasure" Authority crashed hard against the shield constructed by countless "beings".
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
An energy storm with no opposing forces.
Just as a drop of water merges into the ocean, that Supreme Being Divine Authority, capable of defining life and death and rewriting reality, is calmly and naturally dismissed—
Absorb.
Neutralize.
It's resolved.
"--This is the Barrier of the Covenant."
