Patricia's pitiful screams echoed in every living creature's ears. The moon that was being devoured gave everyone the most direct and direct expression of despair.
"Damn it, the starlight network!"
The moon wasn't the Moon God's true body. Rather, it was the Concept of her existence. It was just like how the God of Holy Light would naturally cease to exist if the Concept of Holy Light was erased. As a former Order God, Patricia had the same weakness.
Along with her "existence", the starlight network that she had sacrificed most of her divine power to create was torn apart.
Any existences from the outside world that invaded the mortal plane would be marked by the omnipresent Starlight King. They would also be watched by the Moon God and the Fate God. This seemingly insignificant design had actually been used multiple times on the battlefield.
Dimensional invaders that were marked would become the local residents' prey. They would expose their location and information on the battlefield. No matter how powerful they were, they would still be the prey.
This powerful forbidden spell maintained by the two main Gods of the Hades would still be effective even without the Holy War's system.
Recently, no matter how the invaders from other dimensions entered this world, as long as they chose to enter the most fertile main plane, they would be instantly marked by the Net of Stars, and then countless hunters would be waiting for them.
This forbidden spell was split into two parts. One was controlled by the former Fate God, and the other was controlled by the Moon God Patricia. These two Gods had been weakened after casting the forbidden spell, so they hid in the Hades. However, the star-devouring Demon God seemed to have found a way to break through the forbidden spell.
"… Moon God, no, I definitely can't let her die here."
Anxiety was meaningless. She could only see the near future. If the moon was truly devoured by the mortal plane, then Patricia wouldn't just lose her "Concept of existence". She would also lose the source of her faith.
Since the moon was gone, what meaning would there be in being a Moon God?
And if the two main Gods of the Star Net died, the entire Star Net would instantly collapse. The Contract Heroes system and defense system built upon it would naturally become useless. Even if it wouldn't instantly return to the chaotic era where everyone was fighting for their lives, it would still require a large amount of time and human resources to make up for it.
But what if I stopped the star-devouring Demon God? I would have to find a wild, dead star fortress.
"… Patricia, remember this. You've long since ceased to be the Moon God. You're the Master of Starlight of the Hades Divine System. The Starlight Net is the Concept that you should have. The moon is only one of the many stars. You haven't lost your existence. You've simply improved your own existence."
Since there was no way to stop it, he could only think of a way to protect Patricia first.
Perhaps these words were just a game of words, but they provided a way of thinking. From the moment they entered the Hades, the Moon God was no longer the Moon God. If the Moon was viewed as a member of the stars, then the Moon God would become a lower Concept of the Lord of the Stars. If they only lost a lower Concept, although it would still be a heavy loss, at least they wouldn't die on the spot.
If this had been any other God or region, it would have been impossible to change the Concept. However, Patricia was the Goddess of Hades, and as the Creator of Hades and one of the Four Pillar Gods, she had the authority to change Divine Concepts. She had all the necessary "seals, documents, and procedures". Changing Divine Concepts was completely in accordance with the procedures. As long as they acted quickly enough, they should be able to protect Patricia.
"Patricia, in the name of the Four Pillar Gods of Hades, we promote you to be the Lord of the Stars …"
The voices of the Four Pillar Gods echoed in Patricia's ears. Patricia's screams finally stopped. Although she was still weakening, the Moon God was still an important part of her "existence". At the very least, she wouldn't be completely destroyed.
However, Aichy's Moon was gone. It was likely that she wouldn't be the only one who would suffer …
"As expected, the internet has been disconnected."
Although the Moon was still a member of the stars, Patricia had used the Moon as the core to create the Star Web. Now that the core was gone, even if the network was still there, it had lost its function.
In this strange world that couldn't be perceived by the naked eye, everything was losing its light. The originally bright silver Star Web was now withered and dying.
But as long as the core and the network were still there, rebuilding was only a matter of time … as long as the Moon God would give us time.
In everyone's eyes, the Moon had already been devoured by the Demon God. All that was left were pieces of wreckage floating in midair, neither going up nor down, like leftover biscuit pieces.
That planet-sized Demon God didn't seem to be full yet. He had already turned his attention to the ground.
He was moving at a speed that seemed slow but was actually incredibly fast. Judging from the direction he was moving, he was attempting to descend onto Aichy!
Following his descent were countless tiny black dots. But if one got close enough, they would discover that even the shortest of these foreign invaders was more than ten meters tall.
"… I absolutely can't let him descend onto Aichy!"
At this moment, I definitely wasn't the only one who was thinking this.
In the upper planes, Mountain Paradise's dimensional door opened wide, and countless angels flew out. Under the leadership of the Gods, they faced the Demon God who intended to destroy the world.
In the Chaos Abyss, an ancient Demon Lord and a powerful demon opened a dimensional door to the mortal plane. Demons and angels actually became allies.
In the Nature Faction and the Elemental Planes, powerful existences that had been forgotten by everyone else all jumped out one after another. They were fighting for themselves, as well as for the world itself.
Even if it was a futile attempt to stop a chariot, a mantis that was forced into a corner would still struggle one last time.
I shook my head and got up, preparing to take action. The entire Hades Faction started moving as well. Aillé and the other Four Pillar Gods' illusory figures were almost tangible.
But just as everyone was about to despair, countless rays of light appeared. A torrent of light engulfed the invaders in midair … along with them was hope.
"350 star hours ago, we received a dimensional request for assistance from an individual named Roland Ka. We learned that this plane is currently being invaded by other planes. According to the Guardian Oath of Friendship between all intelligent creatures in the universe, we have come to provide assistance."
Dimensional Doors opened one after another, and our allies of steel walked out from them.
