"Isn't this … a little too exaggerated?"
Huai Shi stood below the tower and looked up, staring at the chaotic scene. He subconsciously widened his eyes, and then felt a burning pain in his eyeballs.
It echoed in his soul.
Huai Shi's senses were filled with miraculous changes that were too large and complex. It was as if countless incomprehensible yet bizarre and impossible to ignore data were endlessly drilling into his brain.
It was burning his CPU.
Before he was incinerated by the leaking heat, his soul was wounded by everything he saw before his eyes.
The casting furnace was humming, and countless tiny components and parts were trembling.
Everything was like dust under the miraculous changes of such a high level.
Even if the other party was just motionless and did not notice his existence, Huai Shi still felt the fear of being crushed by the aftermath.
The symbol of the gods' position was falling.
It was being pulled down to the mortal realm by the power of the grandmaster!
This was the end of all struggles, the final stage of the mystic instrument of creation.
The consequences of fate.
He was late.
In that instant, Huai Shi suddenly realized that it was not like that. It was not that he was late, but rather, it was just right!
Everything was part of fate.
Reconstructing the existence of the gods did not only require power, but also countless prerequisites and harsh requirements, just like the cultivators in novels who had transcended tribulation and ascended.
The right time, the right place, and the right people were indispensable.
Publius had waited for such a long time, and finally grasped the right time, and the right place was guaranteed by Helios. But in the end, fate, which represented the 'right people', was not to unite the wills of the people into an impregnable fortress, or to form a precise union …
Instead, it was to start a struggle!
Whether it was the natives of Helios or the alchemists who had ascended to Helios, everyone who was pushed to set foot on this land by their own needs, wishes, or fate was part of the ritual.
It began with a struggle, and ended with a struggle.
In short, it was the process of eliminating and eliminating all irrelevant 'external causes' and 'variables'.
Even the 'showdown before the gods' that Tongi had modified was just a part of the ritual, and it bought Huai Shi crucial time to develop.
But the ritual itself had never changed.
When the struggle came to an end, the results of the ceremony would also be revealed.
From the moment Garland failed, there was no longer anyone in Helios who could stand in Publius' way.
Not even Huai Shi could do it.
No matter who won the battle between him and Hercules, he would eventually help Pubrus complete the last step of the ritual.
When all the changes were over, Publius's fate was finally cleared of all the dust.
It turned into a flawless and transparent container.
To contain this … immortal cornerstone!
Now, right in front of Huai Shi's eyes, the tower made of shadows cracked open with a rumble, like the open mouth of a vicious beast. Under the pull of blood, the sun wheel was completely swallowed into its belly!
Thus, all darkness and light annihilated each other.
A glorious silhouette slowly emerged from within.
It was just like the 'David' sculpted by the grandmaster Michelangelo himself.
The perfect posture of a human body emerged from the collapsed ruins. The posture that contained the beauty of divinity was undoubtedly the manifestation of the image of a god.
When Publius looked forward again, his indifferent gaze shrouded Huai Shi, who was struggling to stand in front of him.
There was no need to move, speak, or even think.
The moment Huai Shi was covered by the gaze from above, an invisible pressure had already descended on his body and soul.
It had nothing to do with the magnitude or insignificance of power, the lack or abundance of divinity, it was purely a difference in quality. The Stigmata was a product created by imitating the authority of a god, and it could not be compared to a real god.
Just like the double-slit experiment in the laboratory, under the gaze of the strong observer, the probability cloud began to collapse. Huai Shi's soul trembled violently, and he felt the invisible gaze like a torrent, almost destroying him.
His consciousness was evaporating!
"You're in the way —"
The moment Publius furrowed his brows, an invisible repulsive force suddenly burst forth!
The disdain and resistance from the god caused Huai Shi to fly backward and roll on the ground in a sorry state. He was suppressed by the invisible pressure, and after smashing through several walls, he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
But Publius' gaze did not linger on him for even a second.
It would be better to say that Huai Shi was standing in front of him.
When he raised his head and looked at the place where Huai Shi had originally been, his gaze penetrated the long distance and countless insignificant dust particles.
It crossed millions of miles.
He looked at the location of the 'present'!
Therefore, at that moment, there was a glow of excitement in his eyes.
He finally felt that indescribable attraction!
"It's … calling me …"
That world was calling out to him.
It was calling out to the return of the god!
This was the proof of his status as a god, the symbol of Publius' success!
At that moment, accompanied by Publius' laughter, Helios burst forth with a loud rumble, and the broken sun chariot was forcibly awakened, draped in a resplendent halo of light.
Finally, it broke free from Jupiter's enormous gravitational force and began to patrol once more.
Towards home!
"Has it finally begun?"
Hades raised his head and looked at the countless twinkling stars. He had already foreseen what was about to happen — the Return of the Sun.
Publius was responding to the call of the heavens, and he began to return to his original position.
He was returning to the present!
Source substance, spirit essence, and transformation. These were the three major axes of the present.
Just like the myriad of things born from the Pillar of Transformation and the silver ocean born from the Pillar of Source substance, the gods originated from the crystallization of the Pillar of Spirit essence!
They were created by the heavens, but at the same time, they were also bound by the heavens. From the moment they were born, they were tightly bound together.
It could be said that they themselves were an extension of the Pillar of Spirit essence, a part of the present!
No matter how the world changed, no matter how different the forms of the gods were, the gravitational force between them would never change!
And this power, which came from the same source, would never be rejected by the present.
It was just like when he received an appointment and went to take it.
Publius would set off under the call, following the resonance of this gravitational force, and set off toward the present.
He would return to the world waiting for him to govern.
At that time, he would gradually obtain the heavenly fate and authority that he deserved. He would no longer be an empty vessel that only had a noble body, but would become a genuine god in the human world!
There would be no obstructions along the way, and even the Three Great Seals would be useless!
This was because the Sun God himself was a part of the present, and now he was merely responding to the call and returning to the present!
But … for the people of the present, this might not be the gospel of salvation.
At this moment, as the sun chariot, under the control of the Sun God, Helios was no different from a brand-new 'God-made Sun.' Not to mention the influence of the gods themselves and the terrifying high temperature surrounding their corona.
Just its pure mass alone, once it fell into the present, would cause irreversible damage to the atmosphere, and then the impact would cause an uproar in the crust that would not be inferior to a magnitude 12 earthquake!
Not to mention, the Sun God himself was a huge threat to the Three Great Seals.
At this moment, for the present, Helios would become a 'major threat flying in from outside the earth, a terrorist attack weapon that was enough to cause heavy damage to the present ecosystem.'
After meeting this standard, then soon, the existence of Helios would fulfill the prophecy from the Silent One's stone tablet, and he would be officially given another layer of symbolism …
[Destruction of Su Apophis]!
.
At this moment, on the moon.
The ring of the heavy mass cannon lit up with dazzling electric light. In the crust of the moon, dozens of nuclear power plants hidden deep under the ground began to overload, continuously providing enough energy for the giant cannon to store power …
Every minute and every second, enough power to completely vaporize an entire city from the surface gathered here, waiting. Under the shroud of the huge magnetic field, the giant alloy ingot with the mass of a mountain was also suspended in the vacuum of the universe, trembling violently, waiting for the command to fire.
"Probe data collection completed —"
In the command room at the deepest part of the earth's crust, an observer turned back and reported loudly, "An unknown signal has appeared from Helios. It has been confirmed to be a compound characteristic of Beta II and Delta. It is speculated to be the divine transformation of the alchemists!"
In the command room above, the silent middle-aged man asked, "What's the progress?"
"It's almost complete."
The observer reported, "The coordinates of Helios have begun to move!"
A short silence came. The old lady on the right, the representative from the Stoneware Society, was stunned for a moment, and then could not help but ask, "Grand Master, what about Grand Master Garland's signal?"
"After the last appearance two minutes ago, he fell into silence and lost his response."
"…"
She was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
At the end of the long table, the head of the Moon Branch of the Command Bureau stared at the data before him, slowly tapping the table, and suddenly asked, "What about the preparation of the heavy mass cannon?"
"It's done, ready to fire at any time."
"Keep it warm, and wait for orders."
The branch head nodded and looked at the other end of the long table, at the projection that appeared above the empty seat, waiting for orders. "Would you like to give the order to fire, Secretary-General Yegor?"
In the projection, the silent middle-aged man did not speak.
He just silently stared at the screen in front of him, carefully observing the solar wheel that was slowly approaching the scene.
Finally, he looked at the list on the table.
From top to bottom, he counted every member who boarded Helios, and finally stopped for a moment on a certain insignificant name.
"Wait."
Yegor said calmly, "Wait a little longer."
