The Garden of Eden was a great melting pot.
They turned humans into demons and gods into monsters.
Abraham stared at the sky with tension and fear, his body so weak from the shock that he could barely stand. He had no choice but to revert to human form and carefully locate Elizabeth. The two hid and spied on the Crown Prince's rage in the sky.
"This is bad."
We shouldn't have pressured His Majesty so much!
In the past, we only judged Your Majesty's actions from our own perspective, but these days, as I have placed my viewpoint on Your Majesty's behalf, I have come to realize Your Majesty's greatness!
Abraham looked worriedly at the gloomy sky, feeling that he had messed everything up.
Just as he said, from the perspective of humanity and himself, Norton is simply a Norton, there's no denying that. The only thing that doesn't make him a beast is that none of his actions are despicable; he doesn't abuse or kill his slaves like a slave owner, nor does he take pleasure in humiliation like a powerful and wealthy person.
Although their actions caused numerous cases of cholera, they never engaged in any despicable behavior.
"If we were placed in Your Majesty's position, perhaps we would not have performed as well as Your Majesty."
No, the mere proliferation of desires already places me far below Your Majesty's stature!
Abraham was very self-aware; he knew how strong his desires were, but the more he knew this, the more convinced he became of Norton.
If he were in Norton's position, he might have already turned Garden of Eden into a complete mess.
Norton, on the other hand, has only revealed his true colors now.
Unfortunately, his lamentations now come too late.
The sun's decline is inevitable, and everyone can feel it.
Norton, too, had fallen into a final frenzy before the arrival of a formidable enemy!
Even if Jonah were to rise from the sun, he still would be powerless against His Majesty...
Abraham's long-dormant heart began to beat again, a thrilling surge of excitement rising within him, yet it was also filled with an undeniable hesitation.
If Jonah still cannot defeat His Majesty, can His Majesty's unique soul—the method of destroying its special properties by merging with the soul of Garden of Eden —truly become Garden of Eden's last hope for survival?
Abraham was filled with anxiety and could not make a decision.
Even if this conjecture was entirely his own deduction, and even if Norton had fallen into a state of depression and erratic madness nearly a century ago, he, who had been portrayed by Norton many times back in the Old Papal State era, was really not sure about his own inner conjecture.
What if his current conjecture about Abraham is still being deliberately misled by His Majesty?
The mere Silver Sword True Injury has been concealed by His Majesty since the Old Papal State era. If it weren't for Abraham stealing the Holy Water and evolving into the Blood Progenitor, His Majesty would probably still believe that the Blood Progenitor feared the Silver Sword. Moreover, His Majesty had already foreseen this outcome!
Putting everything else aside, Your Majesty possesses such immense power that if he hadn't been forced to this point, he wouldn't have revealed it at all!
This act of keeping everything completely hidden truly filled Abraham with apprehension and suspicion.
When the moment came, Abraham's once firm belief wavered again due to the immense pressure.
But time was running out, and Norton of Biyang had already gone completely mad under the dimming sun.
"Ha!!!"
A hoarse roar, like the murmur of a god, echoed high in the sky, resounding throughout the entire Southern Continent.
Norton's slender, tall body hovered high in the sky, his mouth wide open, from which a crimson laser beam shot out, instantly reaching the horizon, piercing through tall buildings, and shooting into the farthest reaches of the atmosphere.
"All living beings shall be annihilated!"
The divine murmurs, imbued with an overwhelming Pressure of life, were almost unbearable to the ears. The supreme mysteries of life contained within them caused the remaining inhabitants of the Southern Continent to wail in agony. Among the survivors closer to the imperial city, some suffered head wounds that split open, sprouting viscous tentacles resembling oversized snails. Others had their eyeballs split open, with two or three eyeballs crammed together in one eye socket. Still others went mad on the spot, their fingers splitting open and multiplying, with the fingers on one arm growing like antlers and tree branches—a truly gruesome sight.
However, the next moment, Norton, who was suspended high in the sky, slowly began to rotate his body.
The crimson laser that shot out from its gaping maw was like a searchlight, instantly cutting through everything in its path and melting away all obstacles in its way.
Those survivors who had just begun to undergo mutations melted into nothingness and vanished into the world before they could complete their life's advancement.
If you looked down at Garden of Eden from space, you could clearly see a thin beam of light flickering within the enormous blue sphere of Garden of Eden, even cutting through space itself.
Everything that was swept by this light, whether it was a planet, a vacuum, or even the sun that was constantly undergoing nuclear fusion, was swept past and instantly penetrated by this scorching light.
It's said that Norton is hiding his military strength.
In reality, he wasn't really hiding his fighting strength.
The Existence Level in the Garden of Eden determines everything. The Existence Level of Kuba in the past and Norton in the present is superior to that of all other beings and matter created by God. In other words, Norton's Existence Level is actually higher than reality, and not merely manifested above all beings.
This is the foundation of his immortality, and also the reason why he can now easily destroy any planet or even the universe.
In other words, Kuba doesn't use lasers, otherwise he wouldn't be able to demonstrate the same powerful performance as Norton.
And with the destruction of life and Garden of Eden by the Pale God Norton, the preparations of the Eternal Life Society finally entered their final stage!
In a field hospital located in the rear of the Southern Continent, familiar poison gas poured into the hospital's ventilation ducts, causing the wounded soldiers who were recuperating to cough violently.
Some people wailed and vomited blood before dying. Others lay in bed, unaware that they had already lost their lives. Still others seemed to sense something, struggling to breathe and trying to escape the hospital, but as they stepped out the door, gunshots rang out from outside.
The people living in the occupied cities of the Southern Continent were also suffering.
Even though it was a city in the rear, planes from the front lines suddenly roared past, and then a dark object slowly descended by parachute.
The entire Southern Continent has been chosen as a place for sacrificial rites, and now this pale, Pale God seems to better echo the arrival of the gods!
The sun in the sky grew increasingly dim, and the sky was now almost like night. If one could see through the clouds, one could clearly see that the once scorching, enormous sun in space was now like a dying old man, constantly fading and turning to ashes.
Its overall appearance was gloomy.
Countless transparent, ethereal shapes, resembling the rising steam from a summer asphalt road, are evaporating in wisps and large areas from the Garden of Eden, extremely far from the sun. If one could observe their path, it would be clear that they are evaporating in the direction of the enormous, annihilating sun.
Norton was also fully aware of the decline of the Sun Star.
