With their disappearance, the show has, of course, ended, and the televisions outside were immediately shut down, disappointing the people who wanted to see more. Still, they have learned things.


    Seeing that the show was finished, the people should''ve already returned to their own businesses peacefully, but unfortunately..


    Doooom!


    Seven daunting pirs of light came down from the sky, surrounding the Empire. Everyone saw how majestic it was yet it still inspired fear upon them.


    Countless murmurs sounded from the people below as they wondered about what that light was.


    "What''s that?"


    "Where is thating from?"


    "What existence could that being from?" "Probably from your momma''s big fat d–"


    "Everyone, enter the house, quick."


    "Oh God, please have mercy upon your people and the Emperor."


    Looking at the huge pir of light that was extending from the heavens, everyone felt deep, soul-boggling fear in their hearts as their bodies shook in terror.


    Inside the Imperial Pce..


    Matthias stood in the balcony of the pce, looking at pirs surrounding his empire with a solemn gaze, "Here they are." As soon as he said that, his body merged with the ethereal wind.


    Outside, the light pirs suddenly sent a huge vibration, shaking the empire''snd so much that it could bepared to a magnitude eight earthquake. Fortunately for the empire''s people, the Emperor''s Will immediately expanded from the pce outwards, preventing any damage to the people and the infrastructures to happen.


    Everyone hoped that that was it, but deep down, they know it was just a prelude to a much bigger threat.


    And as they all expected, it came. Millions and billions of soldiers came in droves from all directions, waving different banners, serving different empires. The enemy soldiers looked at the walls of Divine Heaven with greed evident on their faces, seeing the Empire as free food for the taking.


    When the tower guards of Divine Heaven saw the vast territory that the soldiers upy due to their mass numbers, they couldn''t help but shudder with the thought of them rushing towards the walls of their Empire.


    They knew for themselves that the deploys men inside the walls would never match up to the enemy''s numbers. Still, as protectors of the Empire, knowing that their families are behind these walls they were standing on, they could never and would never back down.


    When they were at their lowest, his voice came. "Fret not, people of Divine Heaven."


    The guards turned to the voice''s direction, and saw golden particles flying from the capital and descending on the walls. "Your Majesty!" They knelt down and eximed, seeing their Emperor, d in his Golden Imperial Robe while looking down on the enemies past the walls.


    "The pristine walls of Divine Heaven will never fall under mymand, like how the Heavens would never copse against the mere efforts of mortal men!" He dered loudly and with pride. "The Empire shall remain glorious as glorious as the Heavens!"


    With their Emperor''s pridees the people''s confidence. The kneeling guards felt their blood boil and stood up, turning their gazes at the menacing army outside their walls, "The Empire shall remain glorious as glorious as the Heavens!" The guards chanted with power, deeming the army outside like ants trying to topple down the skies.


    Seeing the enthusiasm of their enemies, the generals of the seven armies started ridiculing their optimism. "How pitiful for them to not see their deaths approaching." One of the generalsughed.


    "They are in denial!"


    "Insects trying to defend against a dragon!"


    "We have a true god to support us! Your false god have no power against such being!"


    Looking at the haughty ants below, Matthias didn''t even try looking at them, seeing it as a worthless action. He looked at the sky, as if waiting for something.


    While the enemy wasughing at the guards, the pirs of light suddenly emitted a cracking sound, which startled the soldiers below. Secondster, the pirs erupted, with shards flying all around.


    And as expected, a bloody scene unfolded. Together with the flying shards, there was blood, ears, fingers, hands, brain matter, eyes, teeth, and many more.


    When the guards saw what happened below, theirplexions went pale, but they were still cheering with glee, seeing that the ocean of enemies were halved if not nearly annihted.


    When those who survived saw theirrades'' body parts flying, they were terror-stricken, and they couldn''t even move an inch from their positions. The enemy has fallen into despair.


    Far away, in the tall mountains of the north…


    An ethereal being who radiates the aura of infinite majesty was seated at the table, sipping his cup of tea peacefully.


    Suddenly, his eyebrows lifted as he looked to the south, "My pirs have been broken." He muttered, "That would mean that that god has made his move." After saying so, he slowly stood up from his seat, with the aura around him bing even more frightening and oppressing.


    Emotionlessly, he gazed at the direction of Divine Heaven and uttered, "It would be discourteous to not respond." He then vanished from his position, his form bing spiritual and transcendental.


    Above the skies of Divine Heaven, thunder rumbled as storm clouds spun rapidly, seemingly wrathful of what happened below.


    Matthias smirked as he gazed upon the storm clouds with ridicule. Gradually, the storm clouds revealed a face, gazing upon the lowly people with sneering contempt. "How foolish of you all for going against a god''s will." The face bellowed.


    "And how foolish of you to barge under thend I govern." The face suddenly rose its look and saw a humanoid of brilliant white light. The humanoid had its hands sped behind its back, with thousands ofyers of halos resting behind it. The humanoid stood still, with his body facing the storm clouds.


    "What''s the point of disguising as an Emperor if you can be its Godking yourself?" The face asked with his deep, genderless voice.


    "What''s the point of knowing the goal of a being whose power you cannot fathom?" The being of light, Matthias, sneered.


    "You''re too full of yourself, that is your mistake." The face, which was provoked, stated with boundless anger. "And your mistake is that you barged into the domain of another god whose strengths you do not even know." Matthias then waved his hand.


    Hundreds of shackles of golden light suddenly burst out from the ground, zooming towards the storm face god. "You!" The god growled in anger, with his storm cloud form dissipating, revealing an ethereally handsome teen whose eyes were ring at Matthias hatefully.
