The instinct for redemption

After a few seconds, the "Circle of Fate" finally broke free from the influence of the "dark" symbol by utilizing the fixed Fate Branch.

But neither He nor "Eternal Darkness" Amanises continued the fight, and instead looked toward the edge of this star field.

There, the illusory mirror shattered, revealing Lumian, a being with three heads, three bodies, and six arms, enveloped in rotting Yellowish Green flesh, Burning with deep, inky Pitch-Black Flames.

The enormous body, with rotting chunks of flesh, continued to collapse inwards towards a certain point, first the chest in the middle, then the right arm, and then the left abdomen, where a dark spot, so deep it seemed to contain the entire Universe, was faintly visible.

Each collapse amplified Amanises's Danger Premonition Eternal Darkness times over, making her quickly realize that things might not be developing as she had anticipated.

After Klein fully awoke and took in the "Sefirah Castle," he consulted only two High-Ranking Being to discuss the next steps and formulate plans based on different situations. One was Lumian, who had Chaos Whirlpool Face and the Masculine Aspect Feminine Aspect the "Mirror-World Primordial One Creator," and the other was Amanises, the "Goddess of Evernight," who held the "Concealment" Authority, in order to prevent the matter of his awakening and those plans from being leaked.

--"The Mercury Serpent" Will Aucetin only learned that Klein had awakened in the "Night Kingdom" and that he had been helped to accommodate Uniqueness, without knowing the specific details.

Therefore, "Eternal Darkness" Amanises knew all along how "Calamity of the Root" Lumian would deal with "Decaying Monarch" and what would happen in between. Now it seems that everything that needed to be done was done, but the result seems to have gone a bit wrong.

The expected outcome is that Lumian will create the power of the Fourth Pillar, causing the "Decaying Monarch" to be killed along with himself, and completely annihilating the Feminine Aspect and Masculine Aspect of the "Mirror-World Primordial One Creator," the consciousness of Cheek, the consciousness of Alista Tudor, and the consciousness of the "Sinful Dragon."

If Lumian survives longer during the devastating blow by relying on the fact that "The Calamity of the Root" and "The Doomsday Calamity" are part of the Fourth Pillar, then "Eternal Darkness" Amanises can extract the power she shared with him, making the terror belonging to the Fourth Pillar unsustainable. "Lord of Mysteries" Klein can then use methods such as recreating "Rebirth" and "Grafting" to allow Lumian to possibly survive. However, in doing so, the chaotic consciousness within Lumian's body will also be perpetuated, and whether he can maintain his fragile balance remains unknown.

This outcome is now being achieved, but something even more terrifying seems to be brewing.

In an instant, "Eternal Darkness" Amanises discovered a strange phenomenon around Lumian's rapidly collapsing body:

There is a vast Universe, devoid of all vitality, frozen solid; there is a Gloom that swallows everything, trying to compress it to the last point...

The symbol of "Termination," the symbol of "Termination" that is the opposite of the symbol of "Creation"... This Universe that should not have existed has not yet come to an end, Fourth Pillar could not have been born... The gaze of "Eternal Darkness" Amanises suddenly froze.

He considered a possibility:

Lumian possesses not only the powers that make up the Fourth Pillar, but also the symbols of the "Decaying Monarch" and the Feminine Aspect and Masculine Aspect of the "Mirror-World Primordial One Creator." When the power representing the "Termination" and the symbols belonging to the "Decaying Monarch" encounter the Feminine Aspect and Masculine Aspect aspects of the "Mirror-World Primordial One Creator," which finally have a chance to collide in this destruction, there may be a chance for the power of the "Termination" to be sublimated into the symbol of the "Termination"!

It is important to understand that the idea that "whatever is destined to go bad will go bad" is also contained within those symbols.

Once the symbol of "the Termination" appears, even if it is only for a very short time, it will be a terrifying thing. At best, all living beings in this galaxy, including the "Rulers of the Old One," will die completely and will never be able to Resurrection. At worst, the entire Universe will Reboot!

"Eternal Darkness" Amanises immediately withdrew the powers of "Death," "Eternal Silence," and "Twilight" that she had shared with Lumian, but Lumian's body, consciousness, and spirit, the "Calamity of the Root," continued to collapse without ceasing.

The arrival of the symbol of "the Termination" seems inevitable.

Just then, the "Circle of Fate" abandoned the Golden Buddha that represented the "Key of Light" and returned to Lumian's side through the Astral World.

Seeing this, Amanises, the "Eternal Darkness," remembered the "Genie's" warning and did not stop them. Instead, she followed the "Circle of Fate" back to the original battlefield to keep a close watch.

The "Higher-Dimensional Watcher" slowed its attacks on the Celestial Master and the illusory "Heavenly Emperor," preparing to ascend to a higher dimension and escape the galaxy instantly. However, this did not guarantee its safety.

The "Primordial Hunger" that was Devouring Grisha Adam also stopped, and He, who was mainly acting on instinct, had a tendency to run away.

The pale, Mercury-Colored body in the center of the "Circle of Fate" pointed towards the Astral World, instantly bringing the "Angel of Redemption," who was fighting at the edge of the Universe, back to Him. The Angel transformed into a silver-black light and returned to His embrace. The remaining "Sinners," not understanding what had happened, chose to leave the battlefield and return to the Divine Kingdom without the protection of the Sequence 1 Archangel.

Immediately afterwards, the Pitch-Black body on the left side of the "Circle of Fate" and the body on the right side composed of the light of Redemption simultaneously brought out the illusory River of Fate. The main stream was the Past that had already happened, and the tributaries were the Future that was about to become reality.

The Future was already Predestination; every tributary represented the same ending.

The two bodies formed a hand seal, and the "Circle of Fate Future Redemption Body" created a new tributary from the Mercury-Colored tributary that had no other possibilities or developments, a tributary that could prevent the appearance of the symbol of "Termination".

The "Past Sinners Body" causes the figures of "Decaying Monarch" from the Past within the River of Destiny to transform one after another into the "Circle of Fate" itself, while the original figures of the "Circle of Fate" transform one after another into "Decaying Monarch".

A symbol of "Replacement"!

This is the highest level of "Substitution".

Feeling his Past being rapidly "Replacement," the "Decaying Monarch" did not resist, but even hoped that the "Circle of Fate" would succeed.

He saw the light of Redemption.

As Lumian's body collapsed to its most partial extent, the "Present Sufferer Body" of the "Circle of Fate" separated into a Sequence 1 of itself, composed of the light of Redemption, and formed a hand seal towards Lumian.

Suddenly, the decaying body of the "Decaying Monarch" within Lumian miraculously swapped with the Sequence 1 body of the "Circle of Fate," one returning to the outside world and the other entering the inside, completing the "Replacement."

Now, Lumian no longer houses the "Decaying Monarch," but rather the Sequence 1 avatar of the "Circle of Fate."

As soon as the "Decaying Monarch" separated from Lumian's body, it was instantly enveloped in layers of golden armor, but multiple cracks appeared on its surface, piercing through the gold and rotting flesh, with Pitch-Black Flames Burning inside.

The "Decaying Monarch" did not linger, but entered the Astral World and fled far away.

Even with the healing of the "Fallen Mother Goddess," it would take Him sixty years to recover from His wounds. Without the corresponding help, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years. He certainly wouldn't dare to stay in this star field any longer, and wouldn't dare to return.

"Eternal Darkness" Amanises did not give chase, but instead monitored the "Circle of Fate" while assisting the phantoms of "Celestial Master" and "Heavenly Emperor".

After the loss of the symbols of the "Decaying Monarch," the collapse of Lumian's body and the appearance of the symbol of the "Termination" slowed down significantly, but it continued.

When the "Fallen Mother Goddess" remotely helped the "Goddess of Destiny" to "fix" her consciousness and spirit, preventing them from being Steal by the "Lord of Mysteries," Klein was not annoyed but rather pleased.

Above the Gray Fog at an infinite height, a Marionette that Klein had hidden in advance returned to this star field and appeared near the "Overlord of the Supernova" whose Destiny had been stripped away.

From the beginning, Klein's real target was the weakened state of "Overlord of the Supernova" after suffering the "Final Judgment," which rendered many symbols unusable. He dealt with "Goddess of Destiny" first in order to get the still-unrecovered "Fallen Mother Goddess" to fully help her Eldest Daughter. In this way, it would be difficult for "Fallen Mother Goddess" to be distracted and interfere with his subsequent actions against "Overlord of the Supernova." She was not "Lord of Mysteries," and everyone had their own strengths.

Under normal circumstances, one of Klein's Marionette would certainly not be a match for a complete "Rulers of the Old One," but the current "Overlord of the Supernova" has suffered the "Final Judgment" and has not yet recovered or returned.

Wearing Half-Top Hat and Black Trench Coat, Klein took out another Beyonder Characteristic "Abomination" covered in Viscous Black Liquid. With a flick of his right hand, which was inlaid with stardust, he transferred the massive Star Cluster, Staff was not yet connected to reality and whose heavy and Density nature symbolized its unusable state, from its repelled environment into a strange, tree-like and human-like object.

As Klein's extraordinary "Abomination" Beyonder Characteristic were about to burst, a phantom Light Gate stained with Blue-Black flew out from his body.

The projection of the Light Gate fell on the Beyonder Characteristic the "Abomination," immediately stabilizing it and causing it to rapidly Change, forming a transparent and dreamlike celestial Crystal.

Then, Klein threw the astrological Crystal into the Spirit World Spirit World continued to seal it off.

This is to prevent the "Fallen Mother Goddess" from helping the "Overlord of the Supernova" escape.

Of course, it is impossible to completely seal away an "Overlord of the Supernova Rulers of the Old One" that possesses consciousness, spirit, Sefirot, Uniqueness, and Beyonder Characteristic, and is not in Resurrection or awakened state, but is also very realistic.

In another two or three minutes, it will naturally burst the seal and emerge from the Beyonder Characteristic of the "Abomination". Even if the "Lord of Mysteries" Klein reinforces the seal afterward, it will not be able to delay for long.

However, two or three minutes of elimination is sufficient for the current situation.

If victory is achieved, "Lord of Mysteries" Klein will still have plenty of time to recover the Beyonder Characteristic "Abomination".

When Klein used all his power to seal the "Overlord of the Supernova," he relinquished his "Steal" of the "Goddess of Destiny's " consciousness and spirit, allowing her to take over the body.

This is also an opportunity.

Klein's trench coat billowed up as he seized the opportunity to use the symbol of "Foolishness" on the "Goddess of Destiny".

He had expected the "Fallen Mother Goddess" to interfere, but both he and she learned of what was happening on the other battlefield at the same time.

Without hesitation, Klein opened the "door" to the star field where Lumian and the others were located, leaving behind a frequently Flash figure. He "Deceit" the "Goddess of Destiny," who was under the influence of the "Foolishness" symbol, making her foolishly enter the Spirit World, which had temporarily loosened its seal, in order to go to the "Key of Light" from there.

A huge maze quickly appeared around the "Goddess of Destiny," and the Spirit World was sealed off again.

For the "Rulers of the Old One" of the "Destiny" realm, it is possible to escape the labyrinth of time and space purely by luck and use the River of Destiny to leave the Spirit World, but this will be something that happens tens of seconds later.
