The Alien God

Within this boundary where Rovi is active, Anastasia also exists.

She was the daughter of the last Tsar, but she was caught in the flames during the world's upheaval and died as a result.

Although there are no boundaries, everyone's experiences will inevitably be different.

But at this moment, in the memories of "herself" about this world that Anastasia, who was absorbed into this world along with the "Lostbelt" that was devoured by Ivan the Terrible, can also feel the panic and fear of that "herself" here.

When Tsarist Russia collapsed, she, still a young girl, witnessed the empire's fall and her mother's death. The last Tsar was cruel and terrifying, but for the young girl, all she felt was her mother's strictness and love.

Anastasia was not innocent; she had realized this when she overheard her three older sisters' descriptions before the flames arrived.

Feudal emperors were always alienated from the people and oppressed them. Even if they never acted voluntarily, their luxurious lives as royalty were always the result of exploitation.

But knowing is one thing, understanding is another.

Even experiencing the fear of resistance from people, the oppression of facing death, is still terrifying.

Anastasia, the young girl from this world, felt fear.

And what about myself...?

The lives of the Lostbelt princesses are no better than those of the last princess.

Ivan the Terrible transformed everyone into demons and ruled over the snow-covered Beast Realm for countless years. The first Tsar was also the Tsar of the End. Anastasia, who should not have been born, was still born on the eve of the world's destruction.

She is the last human being in the Lostbelt, a descendant of the Tsar's clan, a 'seed' born in the snow and wind, the only one that can bloom in spring.

However, even though the first Tsar doted on her, Anastasia was born to see only eternal desolation.

Loneliness and solitude await her, and the Thunder Emperor will protect her. However, the Demonic Beast God will never speak to her. Thousands of beasts guard her, yet their roars never reveal their meaning.

There was no one to talk to, and no one to truly comfort me.

Eternal loneliness is eternal suffering.

She was born while awaiting her end.

Everything will perish.

Everything will collapse.

After the gluttonous Tsar devoured the world with his towering body, Anastasia fell into eternal slumber.

Even now.

At this moment...

Is this spring?

As the snow beneath her feet gradually melted, Anastasia looked up and was greeted by a blue sky and lush mountains and rivers she had never seen before.

She wore long, snow-white hair, embracing a doll formed from a snow fairy. Strands of hair fell across her forehead, obscuring her pretty and delicate face. A magnificent court dress clung to her lithe and exquisite figure, the open bosom revealing her fair and rounded breasts. Her slightly raised toes allowed her long, slender legs to peek out from beneath the swaying skirt. Her hips were gracefully arched, and her raised hands seemed to reach for the sunlight...

She caught this warmth she had never seen or felt before.

I got it.

But suddenly I felt lost.

This is also Russia, but it's already modern...

This was an era without Tsarist Russia, and even more so, without Ivan the Terrible.

Whether it's myself in this world or myself in the Lostbelt, here... it seems I have no home left.

Spring has arrived.

Where should the princess of the Winter Empire go next?

Looking out at the vast expanse of lush green land, Anastasia, after her initial joy, suddenly hesitated.

Should she step forward?

Should I fully integrate into this world?

But after she turned around, she no longer had a home.

Where should we go back to?

The bewildered princess paused on the ground, facing the sunlight, but suddenly her eyes widened.

In that sunlight, she saw a figure woven from endless radiance.

I saw 'the Lord'...

The Russian Tsar's family were all devout Catholics.

The Lord asks her here, "Are you longing for shelter?"

"Protection..." Anna couldn't deny it.

She was indeed yearning for refuge.

No matter how much pain she endured, no matter how much loneliness she experienced... Anastasia always had the protection of others along the way.

The daughter of the last Tsar only truly stepped out of the ivory tower on her deathbed.

The Lords under Ivan the Terrible's protection have never been able to stand alone.

But you will always be the Tsar's daughter.

"No one in this world can protect anyone forever; the only one who can truly protect you is yourself."

"Come here."

In a hazy state, Anastasia followed her own desires and took a step forward.

Then she widened her eyes slightly.

In a hazy, indistinct state...

She seemed to have returned to the past, to a long, long time ago.

She was still the last princess living during a time of global upheaval and change. She stood at the palace ball, dressed in magnificent attire, enjoying the envious, longing, and admiring gazes of countless people.

Everyone felt inferior in her presence.

But there was one person who seemed completely out of place at the ball who reached out his hand to her.

The man was wearing a gray-brown military uniform.

That person had neither the affectation of nobility nor the pretentious elegance of so-called upper-class people.

He did not come to invite the noble princess to dance.

Instead, she was invited...

Step out of this glittering ivory tower.

He was indeed not an aristocrat.

Instead, it was a Revolutionary Army that had infiltrated the palace.

Anna only found out about this later.

But she did not regret accepting his invitation, because leaving the palace allowed her to witness the true world, understand the suffering of the lower classes, and, as the last princess, participate in the revolution...

Instead of waiting for the flames to engulf them, they actively jumped into the sea of fire.

She has been on countless battlefields.

She remains exquisite and beautiful, the envy of all, yet the last princess has already taken up the sword.

She revolutionized her own life.

She was the first to tear down the ivory tower she had once inhabited.

Tsarist Russia collapsed completely.

What was subsequently established was a nation belonging to the people.

The Anastasia recorded in history is long dead, but a revolutionary named Anastasia was born amidst the flames of lava.

She ultimately carried the blood of the Tsar.

The blood of the Tsar was never one of glory, but rather one of sin.

Only you can cleanse yourself.

Even though the person who initially invited her out of the ivory tower had long since died in the war.

But in the end, she donned the crown once again in a new world.

That's not a crown.

Instead, it is a crown called 'Changemakers'.

Anastasia opened her eyes again; her magnificent court dress was still stunning, and the girl holding the doll was still beautiful.

However, the timeline has changed.

Beneath her delicate, girlish appearance lies a turbulent heart.

The vast starry sky.

Rovi drew the Sword of Gluttony.

Beside him, standing beneath the Afang Palace, the Ying Zheng stroked his chin and smiled, "What a fine story... a fusion and correction of history?"

"But it seems you've gotten yourself involved in another ill-fated relationship?"

"Is it me?" Rovi raised an eyebrow and smiled nonchalantly, "You can't just make things up without evidence."

"What a heartless person..."

"It's not that I'm heartless, but I'm just a guide. Most of the decisions are made by her, aren't they?"

Rovi withdrew his gaze from the inner world and responded in this way.

The Russian Lostbelt beneath my feet has completely disappeared and merged into the Otherworld.

Anastasia is the one who carries Ivan the Terrible's last hope, the seed that will carry the last spring of that Lostbelt. With her integration, changes in the world line are inevitable.

Moreover, since it was Rovi who introduced it into the world in the name of 'the Lord', the changing world line inevitably included Rovi's presence.

The revolutionary who led Princess Anastasia out of the palace...

Those are indeed all indifferent feelings.

The integration of the world is complete.

It's also because that was Anastasia's own choice in life, and the merging and correction of the world lines simply allowed her to make the choices she desired more within the same life experience.

The girl, born into royalty, naturally possessed a kind and considerate heart.

Her Tsarist bloodline gave her the courage to make decisions at crucial moments.

The Russian princess still appeared glamorous and delicate, yet she had found her place in the world.

And now—

Rovi raised his hand.

The Sword of Gluttony in his hand seemed to possess a greater sense of spirit at this moment.

The ' Sword of Gluttony ' enhancement is activated.

The reason I killed Surtr with 'Rage' before was... Only by killing the corresponding calamity with the corresponding sword can the power of that calamity be integrated into the world, allowing the world to grow and also fully activating the power of the sword.

The activation and enhancement between swords are common.

Using 'Rage' to kill Surtr and 'Gluttony' will also grant enhancements.

The same applies to the other five swords.

So what's next...?

"Is it 'the Emperor's' turn?" Wearing a crown and swaying beaded curtains, with black birds flying above his black robe, Ying Yi smiled freely and dashingly.

Like ribbons of light encircling the Great Wall on both sides of the ' Afang Palace ', the Great Wall trembled and shook as the words echoed.

He is also one of the disasters that will destroy the world.

One link in the sevenfold principle of world destruction originating from the Sea of Stars...

Ying Yi, the eternal emperor who ruled the earth for over two thousand years and judged people based on his personal justice.

This corresponds to the ' Principle of Pride '.

Rovi retracted the Sword of Gluttony into his body, but at the same time, he drew out a long and narrow ancient Chinese sword.

In fact, Rovi didn't need to fight anymore, given that Ying was the 'traitor'.

The moment the ancient sword was drawn, it met the power that Ying had actively released.

The power of the Lostbelt known as Eternal Great Qin merged into this world in an instant.

"If it weren't for helping you deal with Ivan the Terrible and Surtr, I would have done it long ago."

Ying Yi smiled and said, "I am the emperor, surpassing the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, the overlord."

"I hereby swear to protect this world for ten thousand years without decline—"

"And now, I will keep this promise."

"Now it's up to you!"

"My friend——"

"Leave it to me!"

Rovi gripped the Sword of Pride tightly, and the dragon coiled around the sword, along with the illusory image of the Ancestral Dragon, surged past.

The Great Wall encircling the planet vanished in an instant, and at the same time, the shadow of the Afang Palace appeared on the ground in China.

'Arrogance' is activated.

All the enemies that come will become nourishment for this world.

To make it stronger.

This makes it more robust.

In doing so, they will face even stronger enemies...

"I thought you could be a little more patient," Rovi said, withdrawing his arrogance and looking into the distance.

The Sea of Stars shone brightly, and Sevenfold Sword surrounded Rovi Wei, the phantoms swaying and undulating.

He faced the 'person' who appeared.

What came was not the unknown fourth calamity, Eternal Destruction God Arjuna, but a pale phantom, like a 'tree' whose roots were directly rooted in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, connecting to infinite worlds and time, drawing energy from that infinite spacetime to grow.

Without a doubt, this 'tree' is a living being.

He is a living being.

And even more so...

"The one who started this disaster, you came in such a hurry, are you worried that I've absorbed too much power?"

Rovi spoke up without any surprise, as this was something he had already guessed.

This disaster seemed to have been foreseen; it appears that this place was targeted long ago, starting with the Rovi God.

The arrival of the Horned God seemed perfectly reasonable, but the arrival of the other Lostbelt 'gods' was completely illogical—to say that they coveted the energy of this world with endless future possibilities was actually a stretch.

The future is the future, after all. At least for now, although the world Rovi lives in is special, it has not yet reached the point of completely surpassing other time and space.

Not to mention that among the beings that came, there was also the terrifying existence of ' Chaos ', whose full-fledged power was above the stellar level.

Only those of the same stellar class can attract stars.

This is not the world.

Rather, it's... what's right in front of you.

Rooted in the Sea of Stars, it engulfs the infinite planetary energy, compressing what should have been an infinite Sea of Stars into a finite existence.

"The fundamental reason for the world's scissors."

"A star god from another land!"

Almost the instant Rovi finished speaking, the pale tree swayed and shook, and an invisible 'eye' slowly opened. "When did you discover me?"

"Guess?" Rovi grinned, his smile particularly delightful.

When was it discovered?

He had this feeling for a while.

Upon setting foot in the Sea of Stars, he could sense something strange.

Theoretically speaking, the Sea of Stars, as the 'origin' of all Earths and linking all Earths in the flat worlds, should be infinite.

The infinite Earth should naturally possess infinite energy.

However, this conflicts with the ' Human Order scissoring mechanism'.

It is infinite.

How could we possibly need to define a so-called 'world without a future' just because of energy scarcity?

The only possibility is that this infinite energy has been 'stolen'.

Without a doubt, Rovi's intention to illuminate the Sea of Stars with the brilliance of this Sea of Stars and transforming this world into the 'main world' of the infinite Earth within the Sea of Stars, is a threat and a challenge to those who have stolen the energy of the Sea of Stars, compressing infinite energy into a finite existence!

They are rivals vying for the boundless energy within the Sea of Stars!

"It seems I underestimated you."

The shadows of the trees swayed, and eyes gleamed. "You weave the Human Order and the principles of the world into seven concentric rings, outlining them as a sword, using the sword as a mouth to devour the power of disaster..."

"After passing through the triple stage, one can unleash the power of a top-tier first-class star."

First-class Ying Star is the pinnacle of the Ying Star system... the ultimate power of the Star-making God.

It is a manifestation that is higher and stronger than Rovi.

If it were to devour the fourth level of calamity and absorb Arjuna, the Eternal Destruction God representing the principle of 'sloth,' it would officially complete its leap from a mere planet to the Star River system...

At that time, with the added layers of Moon Cell license, it might not be impossible to resist Chaos.

After all, Chaos only accounts for three percent.

Yes, the appearance of the 'tree' shadow immediately revealed the principle behind Rovi's actions.

He also saw through Rovi's true purpose at a glance. "You know, your purpose will not be achieved, because I will not let you achieve it."

"So, you're forcing me to show up—"

Reality is not a game; there are no inherent rules for progressing from weak to strong, or for one person to rise after another.

As the true instigator of this disaster, He could not possibly allow Rovi to devour the power of countless calamities and complete the world's advancement.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Rovi was not dealing with the sevenfold calamity, but rather forcing Him to emerge.

After all, if Rovi were allowed to develop unchecked, in the end, He might not be able to deal with this newly grown world, and might even be absorbed by it.

The Sword of the Eighth Sin, which is a combination of the seven Seven Deadly Sins sins.

'vanity'.

The seven rays of light merged into one, transforming into a hazy, chaotic light and shadow, which fell into Rovi's hands.

He grinned. "Even though it hasn't fully grown up, it's not a big deal."

"A peerless Alien God at his peak..."

"Although you possess stellar-level energy, I'm afraid your output is only at the level of a first-class star, right?"
