Because the plan had already been arranged, there was no need for Kronos to send any signals; the plan proceeded smoothly step by step.

Amanises was the first to make a move.

Suddenly, the aura around her surged, and the power of darkness, death, and Twilight appeared around her, forming a circle and merging together.

Logically speaking, Amanises has only mastered three Pathway at this point, because she has not yet obtained her own unique Sefirah — the River of Eternal Darkness. Therefore, she cannot combine the three powers to reach the level of the Great Old One.

But just before this Outer Deity invasion, Klein helped her obtain some water from the River of Eternal Darkness.

The river water wasn't even enough for her to take another half step forward, but it still had a certain effect: it temporarily granted her the power to combine the three Pathway.

As this power grew stronger, that Eternity darkness began to unfold.

The Pathway through which Amanises resides will eventually merge with the River of Eternal Darkness, becoming "Eternal Darkness, the Singularity of All, and the Space-Time-in-One."

At the end of the universe, one can still occupy the Pathway of the Demoness and the Red Priest, encompassing the City of Calamity, thus becoming a hidden Fourth Pillar.

Therefore, in essence, the Pathway that Amanises belongs to is also Pathway with a high deterrent effect.

As the darkness encroached upon the Supernova Dominator, the Supernova Dominator was caught somewhat off guard.

I don't know what happened? How did they end up risking their lives like that?

Bright Starlight instantly emanated from the Supernova Dominator, using it to resist the power of darkness.

But since Amanises was going all out, ordinary methods were unlikely to be effective.

The darkness's advance was not halted; instead, it continued its march towards the Supernova Dominator.

This means that at this moment, the Supernova Dominator was truly somewhat afraid.

No matter the situation, a person who doesn't want to fight will naturally be afraid when they encounter someone who really wants to fight.

Therefore, the Supernova Dominator directly abandoned their original plan, suddenly retreated, and even considered turning around and running away.

This is the Outer Deity, who are fundamentally not very united.

They shared a common goal: to invade Earth.

However, they were unwilling to pay too high a price for this goal, especially regarding their own safety.

As for the safety of their accomplices, that was not within their consideration.

Just as the Supernova Dominator was rapidly retreating, Amanises's attack was deflected almost simultaneously.

In an instant, this pure darkness Descent upon the vicinity of the Corpse Cathedral, sweeping towards the Outer Deity who was attacking the Church.

Amanises chose the Uncertain Mist as his target, a choice made for him by Kronos.

At this moment, Adam was facing Uncertain Mist and Inextinguishable Ravings.

Because it was based on the Visionary Pathway, the Inextinguishable Ravings have a significant impact on him.

Therefore, as long as Amanises keeps the Uncertain Mist occupied, Adam will instantly have an opening.

Uncertain Mist is not particularly strong, since its other part is currently in the magic lamp making wishes for people.

This was the best option for Amanises, who was facing his enemies directly without relying on the Divine Kingdom.

Even if the Supernova Dominator suddenly reacted and attacked Amanises again, she wouldn't be defeated instantly when facing two opponents at the same time.

Just after the Eternity darkness swallowed the Uncertain Mist, Adam also revealed his most powerful strength.

Although he has completely merged with the True Creator and possesses the power to mobilize the Chaos Sea.

However, the power of the Sun, the White Tower, and the Tyrant was ultimately just a figment of his Imagination, so he could only maintain half of the Great Old One's status for a short time.

However, this was enough for Kronos's plan.

The power of the Chaos Sea suddenly surged, drawing the attention of several Outer Deity to him.

The reason they invaded Earth was simply for the Sefirah.

If one could obtain a suitable Sefirah at this time, wouldn't one avoid fighting to the death?

Therefore, two Outer Deity actually abandoned their original plan and pounced on Adam.

Just before they approached, a black Divine Kingdom suddenly rose up around the Corpse Cathedral.

Amanises has not yet used his Divine Kingdom, firstly because the battle with the Supernova Dominator is too intense, and there is no time for his Divine Kingdom to Descent.

Secondly, she wanted to use this last resort at a crucial moment.

Clearly, this is a crucial moment.

Adam will be facing three opponents at the same time, and even with his great strength, this will definitely not be an easy task.

Therefore, having an additional Divine Kingdom also provided Adam with another guarantee of safety.

Because someone's adversary abandoned them and went to Adam, True God naturally had no opportunity to act.

Lilith originally faced two adversaries, one of whom was the Mother Goddess of Depravity, so she was under a lot of pressure.

Now that she suddenly had one less opponent, she felt a great sense of relief.

The other team that had freed up its resources was Aucuses.

Although he had some free time, he did not rest or leave, but instead took his Divine Kingdom to help Leodero.

Leodero was not weak, so even facing a Monarch of Decay did not put him under much pressure.

However, Kronos's next plan requires Leodero's powerful attack, so Aucuses needs to keep the Monarch of Decay occupied so that Leodero can be freed up.

If it were any other Outer Deity, Aucuses might not have agreed so readily, but since it was the Monarch of Decay, Aucuses had no intention of refusing at all.

There wasn't any deep-seated hatred between them, but the power of Purification could indeed counteract the negative effects of decay.

Therefore, Aucuses, in a certain sense, restrained the Monarch of Decay.

Throughout these years of confrontation and friction, the Monarch of Decay deliberately avoided Aucuses, simply because they did not want to experience the feeling of being restrained.

Now that Aucuses has seized the opportunity, he really doesn't want to let it go.

With the Purification power of Aucuses joining the battlefield, the Monarch of Decay truly began to be hampered.

The power he releases can be dispelled or Purification, which is a very uncomfortable feeling.

Aucuses, however, became increasingly excited.

After confronting the Outer Deity for so many years, this is the first time I've felt so comfortable.

Therefore, he said to Leodero, "You don't need to worry about this; I'll take care of everything."

Aucuses's confidence was evident, so Leodero chose to withdraw from the battlefield.

Without Leodero's help, Aucuses was under much more pressure, but it was still within a manageable range.

Seeing that Aucuses was alright, Leodero stopped paying attention to that side and instead flew towards Kronos with his Divine Kingdom.

At this moment, the Circle of Inevitability sensed that something was amiss.

With such drastic changes on the battlefield, how could the predetermined fate remain unchanged?

There are only two possibilities: either Fate will intervene to correct the current changes, or he has been deceived and the destiny he saw is false.

Regarding the first point, the Circle of Inevitability rejected it without even considering it.

As someone who manipulates Fate, Fate rarely favors him; in this realm, those who believe in Fate and Pathway the Circle of Fate have the upper hand.

And coincidentally, the person standing opposite him possessed the power of that Pathway.

Kronos had already set up this scheme long ago, which naturally included a plan on how to conceal the Circle of Inevitability.

If we can't deceive him, he'll be the first to know if fate changes.

For this reason, Kronos, still not very skilled at wielding the Authority of Fate, busied himself for quite some time.

In the end, Fate was on his side, allowing him to deceive the eyes of the Circle of Inevitability with a crude deception.

The Circle of Inevitability has now sensed that something is amiss.

Although Fate did not give him any guidance, he inexplicably felt that this time it was aimed at him.

Just like the Supernova Dominator, the first thought that came to his mind the moment he sensed danger was to run away.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Circle of Inevitability ended its standoff with Kronos and turned to run.

Kronos had prepared for this moment for so long, how could he let him escape so easily?

Suddenly, a torrent of knowledge appeared out of nowhere, directly binding the Circle of Inevitability.

Meanwhile, Kronos was also using all his power of Fate to try to suppress all the reactions of the Circle of Inevitability.

The Circle of Inevitability resisted with all its might, but the difference between them was really not that great, so the effect was indeed very little.

Just then, Leodero arrived beside them.

He simply stepped out of his Divine Kingdom, then gently took out a revolver and aimed it at the Circle of Inevitability.

True God rarely use Beyonder Item anymore, mainly because the difference in strength is too great. It's difficult for them to provide any auxiliary effect to themselves or inflict significant damage on their opponents; they might even be less effective than a casual strike from themselves.

Therefore, Leodero never used Beyonder Item.

This revolver, the Judgment Revolver, was given to Leodero by Kronos when he returned to that time.

This is probably the only thing Kronos did that changed history: he put his revolver on Leodero.

Although it is Sequence One Beyonder Item, it is not easy to produce a fatal effect on the Circle of Inevitability.

However, this gun has one useful ability: if the target is correctly identified, the Bullet will strike a vital point directly, which can indeed help Leodero lock onto his vital points.

Leodero pulled the trigger of his revolver, and a Bullet was fired directly at the Circle of Inevitability.

Meanwhile, Leodero said, "The restrictions here manipulate Fate."

The judgment was triggered instantly, and the Bullet, as if it could turn a corner, was fired towards another location.

Leodero was also waiting for this opportunity. A powerful Lightning struck out instantly, following the Bullet and piercing directly into the vital part of the Circle of Inevitability.

Under normal circumstances, the Circle of Inevitability would never have surrendered so easily.

Even without relying on the power of fate to dodge, he wouldn't have stood there quietly to take the blow.

But Kronos was no pushover; both the Knowledge Torrent and the power of Fate relentlessly suppressed him.

Therefore, the Lightning pierced through without any hindrance.

Leodero did not possess the power to kill with a single blow, but he was able to render the Circle of Inevitability powerless to resist.

Subsequently, the Knowledge Torrent completely swallowed up the Circle of Inevitability.

When he reappeared, he was barely alive, being carried in Kronos's arms.

No one could have imagined that what was originally just an ordinary attempt and friction, which has lasted for thousands of years, would result in casualties today.

All the Outer Deity chose to stop immediately and focus their attention on Kronos, wanting to see what he planned to do.

Kronos glanced at the Outer Deity surrounding him, then at the Circle of Inevitability in his hand, and a sudden surge of ruthlessness rose within him.

These Outer Deity didn't really care about their companion, so it was better to just kill him to avoid future trouble from the Circle of Inevitability.

Therefore, all the Outer Deity and True God watched as Kronos raised his hand and slapped it towards the Circle of Inevitability.

At that moment, time and space seemed to suddenly stop, and both the True God on Earth and the Great Old One outside were frozen in place.

Suddenly feeling isolated from the surrounding space and time, Kronos was immediately terrified.

Does such a thing even exist in this world?

Just as Kronos was trying to find this powerful being, a crack appeared in the space in front of him, and a vaguely human-like outline emerged from the crack, but it had a head with many tentacles like Cuttlefish, and a body that looked like Monster covered in scales.

The Monster chuckled softly, "A smuggler like you? I could let you play around here, but you actually dared to attack the Circle of Inevitability! How am I supposed to write the second part of this?"

"Since you're so Rules, then just disappear."

As the sound faded, Kronos vanished from the spot, leaving no trace of his existence in the entire world. The story was once again restored to its original plot.

At the same moment Kronos dissipated, in another timeline, in a simple rented room, a poor, handsome man slammed his fist on his keyboard.

"This is outrageous! All I did was try to infiltrate, and they just kicked me out! These struggling authors have no rights whatsoever!"

"Alright, alright, I can't afford to mess with Cuttlefish, so I'll try my luck in another world and see if infiltrating the comic book world is really that difficult!"
