As they entered the city, Rein immediately noticed the gazes of the people around them. Some were looks of pity, while others had their eyes narrowed with suspicion.
Rein knows that this matter has already reached a grave level. As one of the first settlements sent out, Fretgorn is considered one of the most important human territories. The way that the vige was wiped out would remind the humans about the terror that is outside the walls and would cause them to feel the harrowing fear once again.
"Why are they alive while their entire vige was literally wiped out?"
"Fretgorn couldn''t have been wiped out that quick. Chief Nu had contracted a Silver Lion Spirit, and that itself serves as a strong protector against other spirits. Chief Nu must have been killed first before the entire vige was killed off."
"That''s impossible. We all know that Chief Nu doesn''t go out and always stays within his territory to prevent other spirits from advancing. That could only be possible if the enemy entered the vige quietly, without being impeded."
"Or it might have been because they trusted the enemy."
"Maybe they were the ones who annihted Fretgorn."
"That spirit still hasn''t formed a physical body, that means it''s just in the Newborn Realm. Chief Nu''s Silver Lion is already at the Formation Stage, they couldn''t possibly defeat him."
"Maybe they assassinated him."
"Shut up, everyone. The vige people seemed to have been killed all at the same time, that means what you''re saying is improbable."
Murmurs of everyone''s spection reached Rein''s ears as he contemted, "It seems that what the people of Requiem doesn''t entirely know what transpired within Fretgorn, that means we can still reason."
Soon, they reached arge building in the middle of the city. As soon as they entered, they saw an imposing man sitting at the table, looking at them with suspicion.
Without being able to speak, a huge ck hole suddenly formed in between of them, startling the soldiers and even Rein with it.
Boom!
Guin was perplexed, looking at the direction where Rein pointed out where the underground city existed. Suddenly, her eyes widened with fear as she rushed out of the realm.
''Why is the realm copsing?!''
She reached the realm portal and immediately chose to leave.
Having left the realm, Guin sighed with relief, but she wasn''t even given a minute to breathe as she felt the same thing happening outside the ravine. ''The entire is copsing?!''
At the same time, outside the world, the worlds that the siblings entered fluctuated. Dark devouring holes appeared within the world''s cores, scaring everyone, even the gods of Matheon who were within the other free worlds.
"What''s happening?!" Guin, reappearing outside, shouted with fear and anger.
"Calm down, Guin." Beside her, Alexander appeared and ced his hand on her back.
He looked at Denos in front and asked, "What''s happening?"
Denos'' body was shivering in terror as he murmured, staggering with fear, "Impossible.. The Eldritch are freely entering the universe!"
""WHAT?!""
"Brother!" While they were panicking, Mackenzie was rushing towards them and asked loudly, "I can''t sense Sister Yue''s and Brother Jue, Zhuang, and Ray''s aura anymore!"
"What?!" Alexander checked, and they were right. The auras of their three siblings were already gone. That could only mean..
"Ray!" Guin was grief-stricken. As a mother, no one would want their child gone.
"Everyone!" Alexander shouted with urgency, "Follow me to Divine Heaven!"
"But Ray!" Guin screeched with helplessness. "We don''t have time!" Alexander shouted with the same emotion, "If we do not seek refuge within Heaven, all of us would die!"
"Then go!" Unsurprisingly, Guin chose to stay, "I will look for my son!" After saying that, Guin darted towards the world where Ray entered. No one knows if they will survive.
Helpless, Alexander could only save Mackenzie and the other gods. With his authority, Alexander severed space, shortening the distance between Heaven and Matheon.
A rift appeared in front of them, but what they saw shocked them. Terrified them, even.
Within the rift, they saw Heaven, but in the distance, a soul-wrenching darkness had already started to crawl its way to the Divine Pce.
"Hurry!" Alexander screamed at the top of his lungs.
With his voice waking them up from their stupor, the gods hurriedly flew to the rift before Alexander entered and sealed the rift up.
In Divine Heaven, chaos had already enveloped its surrounding territories. First Heaven had already fallen whilst the Second Heaven was being prated by darkness within. Third Heaven was still standing against the barrages of Eldritch attacks with the help of the Malkim who specialized atbating Eldritch beings.
When the siblings and the gods entered the pce, they saw Matthias and the Ourani had already gathered to n against the invasion.
"Father!" Alexander eximed. Matthias had already detected them when they entered Divine Heaven as he nodded at them. "I have already asked for help from the Abyssal Emperor. They will arrive shortly."
"What is happening?" Alexander asked, trying to maintain his calm.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
"It seems that the barrier that was protecting our universe from True Nothingness vanished. All the worlds in this universe are being encroached upon by beings of nothingness. The Tribunals could also not be summoned, even when I summoned the Silhouette''s powers."
"Then, what should we do?"
"Fight to the very end." Matthias replied decisively. "Once the Abyssal Emperor arrives, we will begin our counterattack."
As if he noticed something, he looked past Alexander and the others and beckoned, "I wee you, Abyssal Emperor."
Space fluctuated, and out of the blue, A man cloaked in darkness emerged. He gazed at Matthias for a second before smiling, "I thank you for weing me, Divine Emperor."
"Everyone!" With the Abyssal Emperor finally here, Matthias stood up from his seat and dered, "Begin counterattack!"
All across Heaven, his shout was heard. Every Ourani, big and small, human and inhuman, powerful and weak, marched to the frontlines and began to fight harder, pushing the Eldritch back.
Portals of Abyss opened behind them, and there, countless abyssal creatures emerged and started fighting against the Eldritch.
The once evesting war between the Divine and the Abyss came into a halt as both sides fought side-by-side against the creeping Eldritch.
Monsters defended angels, angels protected monsters. All for the sake of destroying something that was foreign and corrupting.
Dukes of the Abyss guaranteed the safety of the Ourani while the Dukes of Heaven casted protection and strength to the creatures of the Abyss.
The Divine and Abyssal Emperor fought in the frontlines, wiping out hordes of Eldritch with their every move.
A cooperation that was never seen before came for the universe. But, all might be for naught.
From the depths of the opposing side, a huge ck figure emerged from the void, filled with the powers of Anti-creation.
Oddly, its features wereparable to Matthias'', except for its directly opposing energy.
"Matthias!" The Abyssal Emperor shouted.
"Let''s go, Gaius!" Matthias nodded before the two of them darted past the Eldritch Front and charged at the Final Boss.
A logic-defying battle ensued between them. Matter was deleted everywhere the Anti-Creation waved its hand. Matthias and Gaius saw this as they vehemently avoided its attacks.
Matthias waved his hand and sent the Anti-Creation flying back. A huge hole was inflicted upon Anti-Creation, and Gaius, the Abyssal Emperor, took advantage of it.
He zoomed towards Anti-Creation and made a gesture. A huge rune appeared on the Anti-Creation''s body and..
Boom!
Anti-Creation was sted apart, with its body parts spreading across the realm.
Matthias and Gaius wanted to rejoice, but not even a minuteter, the remains of the Anti-Creation began to corrupt everything itnded on, causing almost a quarter of the battlefield to turn Eldritch.
The remains coagted and formed Anti-Creations of different shapes and sizes, causing dread to wash over the face of the two Emperors. Not wasting any time, the two continued to fight what seemed to be a pointless battle.
Soon, more than half of the Divine-Abyss Forces were corrupted and wiped by the Eldritch Beings. Matthias and Gaius panted heavily, blood and severe wounds were all throughout their bodies.
Matthias looked around, and saw the entire universe that had almost already be Eldritch nutrients. His people, his descendants, his family, all that is rted to him had already died, sumbed to the depths of the Eldritch. Filled with despair, Matthias looked at Gaius and said, "Merge with me."
Gaius looked at him and saw his determined gaze. Although they have experienced lives differently, they are still of one existence. Knowing what his other half might do, Gaius nodded in response.
Gaius'' body became immaterial as it slowly merged with Matthias'' body. Soon, a strangely powerful energy coalesced within them. A power so heavy and outstanding that even the previous Supremes might have no power against him.
Looking at the universe thest time, he thought of all the things that had transpired in his lengthy life. He once created worlds, governed divine and hellish realms, annihted worlds, devoured stars, became rich, became a cultivator, became a husband and a father. He might have already done all that he wanted.
"Whether there might be a next life for me, I could only hope that it could be satisfying for me." He muttered.
Having already reached a consensus with himself, being at peace with what would happen, he raised his head and looked at the enemies surrounding him at all sides.
"Ultima Regnum!" He shouted with all his might.
A blinding light shined bright, spreading across the entire universe. When the light dialed down, Matthias reappeared, with balls and cores ofws, filled with immense power that no being in any universe had ever seen before.
Having overridden the universe''s core, Matthias was currently wielding the power of the entire universe, and all the subverses with it.
From other universes, gods gazed at the direction of a bright light and sighed, "Such a universe with great potential wasted."
Matthias, wielding such universally huge energy, then spoke his final words, "Begone from inexistence."
