The Battle Situation

The Destruction Demon Wolf's sense of crisis was frantically throbbing, even threatening to swallow its last shred of rationality. Faced with the siege of multiple Ancient Gods, the Destruction Demon Wolf had completely lost its mind.

It released what it had been suppressing within its body.

It possessed at least the "Fool" uniqueness and a portion of "Attendant of Mysteries" characteristics.

A powerful will began to rise bit by bit, and above the unobservable Spirit World, a dense expanse of Grey Fog surged violently!

At this moment, all the Ancient Gods, the Ancient Sun God, Sasrir, Amanises, Truman, and even the other subordinate gods and angels all sensed the anomaly above the Spirit World.

Even beyond the World Barrier, a riot of endless starlight erupted, and those terrifying existences could no longer remain calm.

An indescribable aura caused every living being and monster within the entire Spirit World to tremble, not daring to look up.

In the real world, an earthquake shook the entire world—not severe, but unmistakable.

Above the Astral World, starlight flickered and died out, and even the Ancient Sun God's expression darkened.

"That's Sefirah Castle..." Amanises felt a tremor, but could not sense it any further.

"This is the Second Epoch, where the Lord of the Mysteries' will is unprecedentedly powerful," Truman murmured to himself. At this moment, he sensed an unimaginable will awakening, and the Book of Dreams even burst forth with specks of Dream Light.

Suddenly, Truman felt a dizziness in his head, as if he were about to fall into a state of eternal slumber.

This eternal slumber came without reason, catching Truman completely off guard!

"Sefirah Castle?! Or the Lord of the Mysteries?!" Truman suddenly realized something. He had experienced this feeling before when he truly tried to probe the Chaos Sea.

Sefirah Castle and the Lord of the Mysteries? There seemed to be little difference between the two, after all, the Lord of the Mysteries' awakening was inevitably accompanied by the descent of Sefirah Castle.

And the descent of Sefirah Castle also heralded the moment of the Lord of the Mysteries' awakening.

Relying on the Badge of Divinity to maintain his clarity, Truman knew he could not stay here long and directly roamed back to the Ancient Sun God's divine kingdom.

Here, the effect of "Eternal Day" was strongest, and Sefirah Castle's influence was weakest.

Truman's "retreat" caused no stir; only Sasrir glanced his way, while the other angels stared intently at the Fog of History manifesting above the Spirit World.

Some angels had heard of this thing before, while others were learning of its existence for the first time, their reactions varied.

As for the Ancient Gods and the Ancient Sun God, they all reacted in an instant.

Regardless of their faction or pathway, no Ancient God would allow an unknown existence to awaken!

But that will's awakening seemed irreversible, growing stronger bit by bit, making Sefirah Castle above the Spirit World increasingly clear.

Even without true resurrection, even without complete Fool Pathway Beyonder Characteristics, even with the "impurities" inside the Destruction Demon Wolf, that being could still control Sefirah Castle, leveraging its Sequence Status and drawing upon its power!

The Fog of History was unprecedentedly dense, interacting with the awakening of that will. The Night authority on the Destruction Demon Wolf was even repelled, becoming more unstable.

That will sought to expel the Pathway of Night characteristics, awakening purely through the Fool Pathway, and thereby mastering "Sefirah Castle."

The Destruction Demon Wolf itself was on the verge of falling from its Ancient God status, yet the aura it exuded was unprecedentedly eerie and powerful.

"The Lord of the Mysteries' resurrection this time has failed due to various reasons," a prophecy formed once again from the sea beneath the Ancient Sun God's feet, a sea that held all secrets.

As these words took shape, the Dragon of Imagination soothed the Destruction Demon Wolf's consciousness, ensuring a tug-of-war between the demon wolf's clarity and the will about to awaken.

The Phoenix's scales brought a drop of deep river water, piercing through countless spaces to land atop the Destruction Demon Wolf's head, silently burrowing in, sending the awakening will into eternal slumber.

Meanwhile, powerful attacks from Twilight, Thunder, and others fell upon the demon wolf, but their target was no longer the Destruction Demon Wolf itself—it was the suppressed awakening will.

The Ancient Sun God's prophecy was fulfilled once again.

The Lord of the Mysteries had not yet truly awakened, so naturally, it could not stop this prophecy from the Chaos Sea.

All the attacks struck the awakening will of the Lord of the Mysteries with precision, suppressing it.

The essence of this world was madness and chaos, and this will could never be eliminated, only suppressed.

At the same time, even the Night authority within the Destruction Demon Wolf's body was at work, strongly interfering with the awakening of that will.

These "impurities" were things that will needed to expel, incompatible with it, but likewise, these "impurities" instinctively rejected this will.

The aura of the Lord of the Mysteries' awakening was completely suppressed, and the "soothed" Destruction Demon Wolf naturally regained dominance.

It seemed to have succeeded—even if all the Ancient Gods joined forces, they could not kill it, and even needed to help stabilize its condition.

For an existence like this, fate remained strange; one moment trapped in a siege of Ancient Gods, the next, forcing all the Ancient Gods to work together to stabilize its state.

The Destruction Demon Wolf was mad enough, but not a fool. In the end, it gambled to gain a sliver of survival.

But which Ancient God was foolish?

In the next moment, the attacks came again, and the Ancient Gods tacitly moved to once again carve up the demon wolf.

The demon wolf barely suppressed the awakening will within, its condition roughly restored to before the divine war began, but the enemies before it were too terrifying.

In an instant, "soothing" turned into "Mental Riot," "eternal slumber" turned into "Eternal Silence," and the demon wolf's condition plummeted, even worse than before.

It fooled time, history, space, rules, and more, constantly shifting its location and jumping its state back to a moment ago, but this flawed authority proved feeble under sufficiently strong external force.

It also tried to fool its opponents, causing them to act with reduced intelligence—attacks slowing down or even hitting temporary allies—but there were too many gods opposing it, and it could not fool all the Ancient Gods at once.

The demon wolf desperately used the Night authority to evade the Ancient Gods' attacks, but in such a scene, the Night authority was also suppressed in various ways, unable to exert much effect.

Unlike the true "Fool," the Destruction Demon Wolf could not fully resurrect from the Fog of History, so it dared not die easily.

Otherwise, only the Fool Pathway characteristics would return to its body from the Fog of History, and the Night authority would be completely lost, seized by the other Ancient Gods.

At that point, it would only be a single-pathway King of Angels, which in such a battlefield would be no different from suicide.

This time, it had truly reached its end. After the previous experience, it no longer even had the chance to awaken that will.
