Betrayal

"ROAR!" The Destruction Demon Wolf was once again wounded by the Greatsword of Twilight, and the "Evernight" characteristic within its body was constantly being drawn toward "Twilight" due to the convergence effect. The Ancestor of Phoenix also continuously interfered using the authorities of "Death" and "Door."

Because of the previous rejection of the Evernight authority during the Lord of the Mysteries' awakening, the Destruction Demon Wolf's control over the Evernight authority had fallen into stagnation.

Yet it had no choice but to use the Authority of Concealment to hide itself, then employ the authority of history to retreat into the Fog of History, buying time to stabilize itself.

But this time, it was interfered with. A Red Moon cast down moonlight, and within the Red Moon, which no one could peer into, a barely noticeable door opened.

This door was illusory and hazy, engraved with many mysterious symbols, and seemed to have some connection to the Spirit World.

It represented Sequence 3 of the Moon Pathway, "Summoning Master."

The door opened, revealing the bizarre and dazzling Spirit World within. An intangible aura spread out, connecting to some hidden corner.

The next moment, a silhouette formed from mist took shape within the door—it was the Goddess of Misfortune, Amanises.

The various schemes laid out in the Dream Council and the developments in the real world would inevitably have some discrepancies. For instance, the Dragon of Imagination sensed the shift in the tide of history, and the Lord of the Mysteries Will was awakening. Many unforeseen events could not be contained, but in the end, everything returned to the historical currents they had delineated.

So He came, summoned by Lilith.

He reached out, using His own mastery of the Authority of Concealment to cause a negligible disruption to the Destruction Demon Wolf, then released the characteristics within His body, using the convergence effect to destabilize it.

The Destruction Demon Wolf's control over the Authority of Concealment was already at a low point, and this further interference caused a very noticeable pause.

And that pause was seized upon by the Ancient Gods.

A barrage of various authorities rained down on the demon wolf during that pause, trapping it within the Fog of History.

The Goddess of Misfortune only cast a cold glance before immediately concealing herself and withdrawing from the battlefield.

Lilith, Almir, Soniathrym, and the King of Exotic Species charged first into the Fog of History, which had not yet fully dissipated.

The other Ancient Gods were not to be outdone, eager to "take their seats at the table" and "feast on the wolf."

The Fog of History churned, and fierce battles still erupted among the Ancient Gods within it, but this was more about the distribution of the meal before the feast.

The Destruction Demon Wolf had no chance of turning things around. Everything seemed to be coming to an end.

But at a certain moment, the Demon Monarch Fárbauti let out a furious roar, directly breaking free from the Fog of History and fleeing into the distance.

Next, a massive door slammed open, and the Ancestor of Phoenix fled with a shriek of alarm.

Similarly, the enormous dragon body of the Dragon of Imagination flickered and vanished from the battlefield.

Just as many were unable to comprehend this shift in the battle, an explosion surpassing everything, one that shook the world, occurred.

The world fell silent. A red light suddenly illuminated everything.

Only at the moment when the red light fully contracted did a piercing scream echo across the entire world: "You betrayed me!"

It belonged to the vampire progenitor, Lilith!

Boom!

The red light contracted to its extreme, then exploded within the Fog of History.

The fog completely evaporated, emitting a blazing radiance capable of illuminating even the Spirit World and the Astral World.

"ROAR!"

Many anguished howls came from the center of the explosion. Beyonder Creatures who heard these screams began to lose control!

"Ah!" The Giant King Almir plummeted, his giant body blasted into pieces. Of course, for an Ancient God, this was not a fatal wound. What was truly severe was the Twilight on His body that was about to dissipate!

A flash of Twilight light passed over the Giant King's body, and his flesh rapidly rotted away, completely dissolving into the air.

A bolt of lightning also splashed away, but it was far weaker than the Thunder that could have split the world before.

The Ancient Sun God had already walked out of His divine kingdom, overlooking the battlefield from the peak of the Astral World. He blocked the terrifying explosion that was rushing toward the outer reaches of the Astral World, ensuring that the barrier could not be breached by anyone.

"Gulp!" Many angels returned to normal, staring in shock at the center of the explosion.

The boundaries between the real world, the Spirit World, and the Astral World were blurred there. Space was completely shattered, rules were twisted, and all kinds of unimaginable phenomena occurred in that place.

All angels and subordinate gods sensed something, and no one dared to move. At this moment, even a madman could be certain that three Ancient Gods had not yet emerged from the storm's center.

They...

"Betrayal?" Was the betrayal Lilith spoke of referring to the allies Giant King Almir and Elf King Soniathrym?

Had one or even two of them disagreed during the process of devouring the demon wolf and directly attacked Lilith?

Only then would Lilith have been willing to self-destruct at all costs, dragging everyone down with her to be buried together?!

And the Demon Monarch and the others had sensed the terrifying explosion coming and fled for their lives?

No one would use their own life to deceive others!

The angels and subordinate gods trembled inwardly and lowered their heads. The struggles of the Ancient Gods surpassed their imagination; they could only wait for the outcome.

When the spatial storms and the anomalies in the Spirit World and Astral World briefly subsided, all angels and subordinate gods saw it.

The bodies of the three Ancient Gods were frozen within the storm woven from chaotic rules of all colors. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, turning into an oil painting, frozen in that instant.

Perhaps it could be called a "New Era"?

Chi!

Within the Reverse Concealment, the Goddess appeared on the battlefield once more. A glimmer of light seemed to flicker around Her, blocking the residual waves of the explosion.

Crack!

A black great scythe arced like a crescent moon and struck the demon wolf, severing in the deep darkness the last hope of revival through "miracles."

The Destruction Demon Wolf's massive body collapsed, the blood of an Ancient God drenching the Goddess of Misfortune, who also absorbed into Herself all the authority of the Evernight.

But this was not all the Destruction Demon Wolf possessed. His collapsing body transformed into a storm of Beyonder Characteristics, and the most crucial parts, drawn by the law of convergence, flew toward the wolf cub Antigonus.

Amanises' gaze turned in that direction. Antigonus' fur stood on end, his mind instantly shattered, and at that moment, he only wanted to flee—the farther the better!

He had never imagined that his ferocious yet powerful Father God would fall, much less that the final blow would come from the Goddess of Misfortune, with whom he had always gotten along!

All of this struck him, a poor natural Mythical Creature, with an unimaginable shock.

But one Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic and the Uniqueness of the Fool Pathway, drawn by convergence, flew directly into his hands.

At that moment, he even had the illusion that the butcher's blade of this Subordinate God of his father would fall upon him!

Yet the scene was too chaotic now. Not only the Destruction Demon Wolf, but also the King of Exotic Species and Lilith, the Ancestor of Vampires, had their bodies dissolve. Countless Characteristics scattered across the world, while some fell into the Spirit World or the Astral World, transforming into monsters.

The Goddess of Misfortune had no time to spare for this little wolf cub.

After obtaining the Characteristic and Uniqueness, Antigonus dared not linger a moment longer. He leaped directly into the Fog of History—this would likely become a shadow he could never forget.
