Chapter 599

Lilith contaminated her conceptually.

Erice and Pradyumna then physically destroyed her.

This double blow caused a noticeable crack to appear in the absolute "One God" for the first time.

Boom--!!!

The Claws of the Star of Calamity finally seized a gap in the Ultimate Great Satan's defenses and pierced its right side.

The dark purple poison of Godslaying was injected frantically. This time, the holy prayers failed to completely purify it immediately due to the wavering of their master's will.

The Ultimate Great Satan's movements was delayed by a fraction of a second.

However, it was this one ten-thousandth of a second of delay that led Shekinah to make the final decision.

"Since that's the case."

Her voice suddenly became unusually calm.

"Since the 'Perfection world' I created is repeatedly defiled by you 'Perfection' beings..."

Since 'creation' itself can produce 'errors'...

"Since the end of 'Order' is still 'Chaos'..."

Ultimate Great Satan slowly, very slowly, ceased all attacks.

He allowed Lilith's materialistic monsters to tear at his body.

He allowed Zeus's beam of light to pierce through his limbs.

At its core, the miniature Universe composed of billions of stars began to collapse inward in an incredible, reverse manner.

"--Then, 'creation' becomes meaningless."

"--Then, this 'world' has no reason to exist."

"Not good!"

In Erice's mind, a constant alarm bell rang.

"She's going to... self-destruct!"

Shekinah wants to give up her identity as the "creator".

Whether it was what she herself desired, or Lilith imposed upon her.

She wants to become a "Un- Un-Creator".

Let everything return to the 'nothingness' before creation.

"In the eternal, equal, and absolute nothingness, I will attain final, undisturbed 'union' with my love!"

Rumble rumble rumble--!!!!

The entire Midrash World began to shake and collapse violently from its very foundation.

The sky shattered, the earth crumbled, and the laws vanished.

Everything began to be frantically sucked into the collapsing core of the Ultimate Great Satan.

This is not an attack.

This is a Death of the Universe " that affects everyone without discrimination.

Shekinah intends to drag all her enemies, along with the world she herself created, back to its most primal, Chaos, and meaningless state—

The End Times.

However, the Chaotic Big Bang that was expected to bring everything back to square one did not occur.

Instead, it has "disappeared".

The entire world of "Midrash" resembles a poorly painted oil painting, which is being "scraped away" by its own artist.

The sky was not shattered, but rather like a rolled-up canvas, revealing the pure, profound, absolute void beneath, devoid of any light or matter.

The earth did not collapse, but was gently wiped away like sand, returning to its most primordial state of "nothingness".

Laws, energy, light, darkness... all the elements that constitute this reality are silently and irreversibly flowing back towards the Ultimate Great Satan.

"... the concept is disappearing."

Inside the Cockpit of the Sky-Thunder Ship Zeus, Erice, as Poimandres, murmured.

The concept of the legacy from the gods that constitutes the Sky-Thunder Ship is rapidly becoming dim and blurred.

On the other side, Typhon, the Godslaying of Star of Calamity, also dissipated like the receding tide. Pradyumna could clearly feel that the "resentment" and "Godslaying power" of the ancient defeated beings residing within the machine were returning to the legends that should have been dormant, as this "story stage" disappeared.

The most dramatic change occurred in Lilith.

The Pride divinity that had just reigned supreme on the battlefield, belonging to the "Demiurge," evaporated rapidly, like a phantom exposed to the scorching sun.

The countless lion-headed, snake-bodied monsters created by her will behind her didn't even have time to utter a mournful cry before they were reduced to meaningless material remains and then swallowed by the void.

"This is?"

Lilith sensed that the Authority she had "borrowed" and that was driven by her own "Wrath," belonging to the "False God," was being taken over by the "author" of this world—

Shekinah, along with the entire world, was brutally "deleted".

Everyone is built upon this "stage," but now the stage itself is disappearing.

Finally, when the last ray of light and the last speck of dust were absorbed into the Ultimate Great Satan, the entire world returned to nothingness.

The three enormous Machine God, along with Lilith herself, floated silently in absolute darkness, devoid of any reference points.

Everything seems to be over.

However, in this desolate void, a "point" appeared.

That point is located at the core of the Ultimate Great Satan. It does not emit light; instead, it is like a black hole, devouring "nothingness" itself.

That was a "Dark Fire".

It has no temperature and no form.

The next moment, it began to expand.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Seven enormous concentric spheres, composed of semi-transparent Dark Matter crystals of different colors, rapidly took shape with the Dark Fire at their core. Nested within each other, they slowly rotated, forming a completely new, oppressive, and austere Universe model.

--Seven Heavens.

At the innermost part of the Seven Heavens, countless substances precipitated from nothingness, condensed, and took shape, transforming into stars, earth, mountains, and rivers...

A brand new, cold "Material World," like a meticulously crafted "cage," is imprisoned in the center of these seven celestial bodies.

The Secret Book of John records that Demiurge created the Seven Heavens and Material Prison using the Dark Fire.

At the very moment the new Universe took shape, the "Ultimate Great Satan" at its core shuddered violently.

Its Cockpit popped open on its own without any intervention.

A disheveled figure was violently "spit out" from the Cockpit by a huge, irresistible force.

"... Shekinah?"

Pradyumna exclaimed in disbelief.

Everyone present was bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

And it was at this moment.

The "Ultimate Great Satan" that had ejected Shekinah moved.

Its movements were so fluid, they were like those of a living, breathing person.

A voice resounded directly in everyone's minds.

The voice was neither male nor female, both grand and clear, devoid of any emotion.

[... a commendable incubation Ritual.]

The Ultimate Great Satan has spoken.

By its own will.

[My container.]

Its gaze fell upon Shekinah, who was floating in the void, looking lost and dejected.

Your unwavering devotion to "one," your fervent passion born of "love," provided the Perfection cradle for us. Your yearning to create a "divine kingdom" that belongs only to you, and this yearning, in turn, became the best nourishment for me to nurture my own "Universe."

Your mission is complete.

The Book of Sophia of Pistis recounts that Demiurge lured Sophia (Shekinah) with the promise, "By merging with me, you will gain the Authority of the Universe!" But after she fell into Chaos, he broke his vow.

As for you...

The head of the Ultimate Great Satan slowly turned towards Lilith.

Lilith's body involuntarily tensed under that gaze.

[... a small, imitator.]

For the first time, that voice carried a hint of amusement.

[A brilliant performance. Your understanding of the concept of the 'Demiurge,' and your precise portrayal of the 'False God,' even exceeded my expectations.]

[But...]

Ultimate Great Satan slowly raised an arm and gently pointed at Lilith with his enormous metal finger.

[... The reflection in the pond can never compare to the bright moon hanging in the sky.]

[You are merely 'playing' Demiurge.]

[And me--]

The voice of the Ultimate Great Satan filled the entire newborn Universe at that moment.

[--That is, the Demiurge.]

Shekinah's face turned deathly pale.

[This 'Midrash' was, from the very beginning, a nursery.]

The voice of Demiurge coldly explained to everyone.

[A flawed story served as the cradle for a Perfection 'reality.' Now that the story is finished, my Universe has been born, and therefore, that storybook is no longer necessary.]

[What you call 'conceptual power' is nothing more than a few lines of illustrations in that book. The book is closed, and the illustrations naturally disappear.]

This final verdict stripped Lilith, Erice, and Pradyumna of all "possibilities," bringing them back to the baseline of reality.

However, at this moment, everyone's gaze, including that of the three girls who had just been stripped of their powers, was focused on another being.

Shekinah.

Once the Queen of Heaven of Heaven, once the One God, once the mad mother who intended to take the whole world into her grasp.

All her divine radiance had faded, leaving only the Angel's pure white, yet tattered, robes.

She lost her love.

The world has lost her.

She lost her power.

She even lost her right to be considered an "enemy".

Everything she had was taken away.

Finally, a barely audible, broken sound escaped from her trembling lips.

"You..."

Shekinah slowly, as if using all her strength, raised her head and looked at the enormous thing she once thought was her most Perfection creation, an extension of her will.

"... What exactly is it?"

Demiurge, or rather, the existence of "Ultimate Great Satan" itself, slowly shifted its "gaze" away from Lilith and the others, returning it to the "mother" it had just abandoned.

[Who I am?]

The voice remained as calm as ever.
