It was even more abstract than the spirit world. In the astral world, which seemed to encompass all the authority and symbolism of the entire universe, everything appeared. And the light that illuminated this place wasn't evenly distributed. It was mainly concentrated in a few places, stacked on top of each other, interweaving into what looked like a thick prism.
There were a total of three such spots, and they sealed different illusory kingdoms.
Some of those kingdoms were filled with bright flowers, and the sky was always bright. Some seemed to be formed from books that were either opened or closed. Different figures shuttled back and forth between them, reading for pleasure. There was also a boundless sea that was enveloped in a violent storm, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling endlessly.
In the next second, a drastic change occurred in the three different countries at the same time.
Where the sky was always bright, all the flowers emitted light, as though they had become miniature, blazing Suns.
These countless miniature Suns intertwined and plunged into the abnormally blinding golden Sun that was rapidly rising from the depths of the kingdom, causing it to emit a scorching light that could illuminate the entire World and galaxy.
However, no matter how much energy this near-real Sun scattered or how many ultra-high-temperature flames it created, it was unable to break through the thick prism of light.
Every time it destroyed a layer, the other party would form a new layer. It wasn't any slower than it.
Elsewhere in the astral world, on the surface of the wondrous kingdom formed from all kinds of books, spots of faint brass light rapidly swam about on the same spot of light. They outlined one mysterious symbol after another, as though they were searching for a key structural point or an effective way to destroy the barrier in one strike.
During this process, the faint light formed a pair of illusory eyes that directly saw the weak spots and created eyes at the weak spots.
And inside the spot of light, there was also a similar faint light swimming about, reconstructing itself over and over again, changing the key structural points.
This made it seem like both parties were competing in terms of computational ability, and the victor couldn't be determined for a moment.
Deep in the boundless sea that was enveloped by lightning, gales, and torrential rain, a spot of light suddenly lit up.
It carried a portion of matter and approached the limits of its speed, creating a violent "wave" that could destroy a planet.
Such a "wave," along with the dot of light, constantly struck the thick prism-like spot of light, causing it to drop countless beams of light.
At some point in time, the spot of light rippled with an illusory sea that seemed to contain all colors and possibilities. This seemed to solidify the surrounding environment, causing the spot of light that carried the storm to slow down uncontrollably. Then, the spot of light sped up, slowed down, sped up, slowed down, and repeated, refusing to give up.
With the Chaos Sea as the source, and himself and the True Creator as the pillars, Adam, who had "Envisioned" the three Uniquenesses and incorporated them into this system, seemed to have exceeded the limits of the Sequences and become a Half-Great Old One. With his strength alone, he had forcefully suppressed Eternal Dark Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, trapping the three Sequence 0 true gods in their respective divine kingdoms!
At that moment, "He" seemed to have returned to "His" peak state, transforming back into the ancient Sun god who had killed one ancient god after another.
"He" used the two pathways of Visionary and The Hanging Man as the foundation for "His" resurrection. Apart from the uniqueness of their resurrection, it was also because "He" had researched them and had the highest chance of becoming God.
Using one of the two pathways of Visionary and The Hanging Man to become a true god, and after grasping the basics of Chaos Sea, one could take back the remaining Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. This was the relatively easiest and least risky path to advance to the Lord of the Astral World.
And in this aspect, the Visionary was slightly more special than The Hanged Man.
When a Visionary gained initial control of Chaos Sea and accommodated the second Uniqueness and the corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic to a certain extent, "He" could rely on "Imagination" to conjure the remaining false symbols and authorities, allowing "Himself" to temporarily obtain the level of a Sequence and possess the strength of half a Great Old One.
However, at the end of the Third Epoch, the ancient Sun god's plan was: After being "assassinated," "He" would immediately revive at Sasrir's place in the Giant King's Court. "He" would first take back the Uniqueness and three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of The Hanging Man and become a Sequence 0 true god again. Then, with the help of the first Blasphemy Slate placed beside him, "He" would gain initial control of Chaos Sea. With this foundation, "He" would then awaken the Angel of Imagination, Adam, and return to "His" main body to form support.
Once such a system was established, the ancient Sun god would use the "Grazing" powers of The Hanging Man and the means of a Visionary to separate his Virtual Persona to control the Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the three pathways of Sun, Reader, and Sailor, allowing "Himself" to be infinitely close to a Great Old One in terms of status and strength while maintaining a minimum level of stability.
"He" didn't directly accommodate Chaos Sea and the Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the other three pathways because "He" didn't want to advance to a Great Old One in that era and become a pillar. That would inevitably lead to the awakening of God, causing "Him" to lose "Himself."
"His" plan was to control the situation and the materials. When the apocalypse approached, "He" would complete the final few steps and become a pillar with self-awareness.
Back then, "He" didn't plan on using Visionary as a foundation because "He" didn't obtain the Pen of Alzuhod and lacked a main ingredient. After the Kings of Angels betrayed "Him," and the plan failed miserably, "He" revived in Adam's body. Only then did "He" decide to take the best path by taking the opportunity brought about by this calamity.
At that moment, Adam, who had transformed into a gigantic figure of light, stood on the surface of the chaotic black water, causing the astral world to be reflected in "His" eyes, making it difficult for the three true deities to break through the restrictions.
Around "Him," beams of light constantly fell from high above with flaming tails, illuminating the entire Forsaken Land of the Gods, causing the Northern and Southern Continents to be in the middle of noon.
In the remaining bell tower of Bayam, Amon, who was sitting on the railing, nudged "His" crystal monocle. "With" His "hands," He "suddenly leaped up and entered the astral world.
During this process, an ancient mottled stone slab appeared in "His" left hand at some point in time.
The first Blasphemy Slate!
Amon had once used it to seal the gap brought about by Mr. Door's return ritual, preventing the invasion of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
After the return ritual ended, the Door of Flesh and Blood completely collapsed, and there was no longer a passageway that could be maintained. "He" then retrieved the Blasphemy Slate.
At that moment, Amon casually threw the ancient mottled slate down from the astral world and landed somewhere in the Fog Sea.
It was a mountain that pierced through the endless black fog.
There was no end to its bottom. It was as though there was a continent around it.
After the first Blasphemy Slate landed, it accurately stabbed into the peak of the mountain, transforming into an illusory sea that contained all colors.
At the same time, Amon entered the astral world and saw the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range that had been "Grafted" here. He saw the ancient and dilapidated palace on the peak.
"His" body, which was wearing a pointed hat and a classic black robe, rapidly grew in size, instantly reaching the size of a mountain.
"His" mouth opened as though "He" was about to swallow the magnificent but dilapidated palace of Antigonus into "His" mouth.
Suddenly, "He" saw a blurry figure.
This figure was wearing a long black dress that was layered but not complicated, and it was dotted with countless starlight.
"He" was as huge as the present Amon. A pair of arms covered in dark black short hair grew out from "His" ribs and waist. However, "He" had a beautiful and gentle face that was covered with a thin black veil.
"His" eyes seemed to condense the night sky that hid the stars. It made one feel at peace, but it also made one feel uncontrollable fear.
Two of "His" hands were dragging a long scythe, and the other was holding a golden bird-shaped accessory. The remaining two were empty, as though "He" was holding something invisible.
Evernight Goddess!
In the next second, Amon, who was wearing a monocle on his right eye, was quickly erased like a sketch by an eraser.
The Evernight Goddess raised "Her" two empty arms and held up a blurry fog that was almost invisible.
On the surface of the fog, "Doors" of different shapes rapidly opened at different spots, but they were instantly blocked, preventing any loopholes from appearing.
The Evernight Goddess floated at the peak of the Hornacis mountain range in the astral world. She focused on controlling the Fog World in her hand, preventing Amon's true body from escaping.
As more and more "doors" appeared, they opened faster and faster. The goddess was no longer able to deal with them by herself. All she could do was raise her other two arms and raise the long scythe.
The dark black scythe quickly turned incorporeal, as though it had turned into a non-corporeal coffin formed from thick black fog.
The nearly invisible Fog World was stuffed into the coffin. All movement instantly came to a halt, as though "He" had died at the same time.
However, this silence only lasted for a second. On the surface of the thick black fog that formed the coffin, "Doors" formed and opened one after another.
As the Evernight Goddess sealed these "doors," "She" raised "Her" arm that held the golden bird-shaped accessory.
The orange-red light of dusk scattered down, giving the black coffin a sense of decay and death.
The formation and opening of the "doors" slowed down as both parties entered a tug-of-war.
At this moment, beneath the Evernight Goddess's feet, the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range collapsed.
It was as though the apocalypse had arrived ahead of time.
At the same time, black python-like tentacles extended over from a certain spot in the astral world.
At the tip of these tentacles was an eye that was either closed or open. Anything they saw would instantly turn into grayish-white stone. And anything that was directly touched by the tentacles would distort, extending their limbs and heads, turning into women of various sizes, all of them very good-looking.
As the grayish-white spread rapidly, these tentacles surged towards the ancient and dilapidated palace, surging towards Klein who was about to contain The Fool's Uniqueness.
Primordial Demoness, Cheek!
