Chapter 116: Reality

Amidst the tide surging through the Reality, Spirit World, and Astral World, the Dream Angel reached out and pulled a long spear of strange design from the void.

This long spear was constructed entirely of Dream Phosphor, yet it had also undergone an unimaginable upheaval at the root of its materiality.

"This is the 'Reality' of Dream." Chumen named this Authority because of that prophecy.

After "Dream" is broken down, the final Authority is "Reality"!

One of its specific effects is as displayed now: true "Creation"!

Chumen reached out toward Sefirah Castle and the Starry Sky, stealing a wisp of Grey Fog and a wisp of Crimson Breath to embellish the long spear.

Today, the ones to kill the second-generation Creator will be the "Lord of the Mysteries", the "Mother Tree of Desire", and the "Supreme Dream".

Sss!

The Spear of Destiny pierced into the chest of the second-generation Creator, striking "God" Himself directly under the active guidance of the "Lord of the Mysteries" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the restraint of Sasriel.

At this final moment, Sasriel's right eye became indifferent and arrogant; that was the final residual will of "God".

He merely glanced at the mark on the Spear of Destiny and calmly accepted this outcome.

To Him, this was just a momentary gain or loss, not worth worrying about.

Crack!

Centered on that single wound, the body of the second-generation Creator was like a piece of exquisite porcelain about to shatter, covered in cracks.

Within the cracks, lightning bloomed; a dead Creator is naturally less attractive to those Characteristics than a quasi-"Tyrant" who has completed the ritual.

Under the influence of Sefirah Castle, Leodero's godhood ritual experienced a certain "Error" and was completed perfectly enough; the power of the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence was constantly tearing at Sasriel's broken body.

The same situation occurred with Herabogen and Osekus; the "Lord of the Mysteries" personally took action to amplify the power of the Characteristics within them to converge with related Characteristics.

"It should end." After finishing all this, the awakened will of the "Lord of the Mysteries" reached a certain limit and would once again head toward the outcome of slumbering with "God".

The Creator's body also reached its final moment, beginning its final evolution; His consciousness was blurring, and His vitality had completely dissipated.

Boom!

The Chaos Sea manifested above the ground collapsed with a roar, the dark, chaotic seawater collapsing toward the underground.

Hum!

Besides this, the greatest change was in the Astral World; having lost the maintenance of the "Lord of the Astral World", that Barrier returned to its normal appearance.

Even the Outer Gods could now further erode the Real World...

Most prominent among them were those indescribable, terrifying giant faces pressed against the World Barrier.

They were all watching the dead second-generation Creator.

And at this moment, the Creator seemed to have turned into a light and shadow, within which one could clearly see the surging Uniquenesses and Characteristics.

They were all about to collapse completely, each searching for a new host.

As for Chumen, he could not even spare the attention for the Outer Gods peeking through the World Barrier, but was instead quickly familiarizing himself with the newly mastered Authority.

"Sasriel!" Chumen suddenly gave a soft shout, his voice possessing substantial power.

Sasriel's true body, far away in the Giant King's Court, suddenly turned into a mass of Dream Bubbles; the next instant, these bubbles all shattered, dreamlike and illusory, and Sasriel's body disappeared completely.

In the palace of the Giant King's Court, only the final shadow remained, linked together with that first Blasphemy Slate.

"Come here!" Chumen's words carried a certain terrifying power; true Dream became Reality!

Sasriel's body appeared in the core battlefield.

"Converge!" A "Hanged Man" Uniqueness and an "Dark Angel" Characteristic flew out from the Creator's body; at the same time, Sasriel also awoke.

His self-awareness, under the protection of a certain power, managed to be preserved for the most part even after experiencing death.

He looked at Chumen in astonishment, then sensed that his own Characteristics were undergoing a qualitative change!

The Creator had completed the sacrifice; this was the key to the "Hanged Man" godhood ritual!

"Dream achieves Reality!"

This prophecy did not only apply to Chumen.

The aura on Sasriel's body successfully crossed a certain boundary to become a deity under the effect of the Creator's residual power and the Dream-Reality Authority.

The aura of Fallen and Shadow spread across the entire continent, announcing the birth of a True God.

The current Sasriel was no longer the Creator and had lost the "Omniscient and Omnipotent" Authority, but a certain tacit understanding with Chumen made Him understand something.

He activated the emergency contingency plan according to His own plan.

Boom!

The whole world was trembling, as if the sky had collapsed; the light and shadow belonging to the Creator collapsed, and all Characteristics scattered.

The most important ones among them, under the influence of the Law of Convergence, submerged into Leodero, Herabogen, Osekus, and Adam.

"A very interesting scene..." The will of the "Lord of the Mysteries" disappeared completely, and Sefirah Castle above the Spirit World gradually faded into the grey-white mist.

Its residual power shattered the Ancient One's Glove brought by Chumen's main body, turning it into a scroll of paintings.

Chumen even felt that the "Mother Tree of Desire" watching him from above the Starry Sky had also shifted her gaze away.

The giant faces of the Outer Gods pressed against the World Barrier also gradually faded away.

"God" and this second-generation Creator were both dead; they were even indulging Sasriel in resurrecting as the "Hanged Man".

Perhaps in their view, this could effectively prevent "God" from reviving again.

But at this moment, Chumen's gaze locked onto Adam; compared to usual, He was only slightly sad, with no other special expressions.

"No!" Adam's face revealed substantial sadness, as if unable to accept everything before him.

This was not much different from Amon's performance; this "God of Deception" also had out-of-control emotions, overwhelmed by immense sadness.

They were the Creator's children and should naturally have such a performance.

But the two were completely different in Chumen's eyes; even if Adam's word had been a second late, Chumen would have thrown the "Writer" Characteristic in his hand away.

—As far as the current situation is concerned, it also seems to fit the "Visionary" godhood ritual; after the awakening of Godhood, Adam is also equivalent to the Creator, and the Creator arranged His own death, which is also the trend of history.

But it was very clear that Adam refused.

Hum!

That collapsing and dispersing light and shadow finally, under the influence of the Creator's remaining will, gradually formed a stone tablet, and the content upon it appeared in this world without reservation.

"Tyrant"... "Hanged Man"... "Visionary"...

These are Potion Formulas!

Every Angel, King of Angels, and even True God on the battlefield felt their eyes tremble slightly as they quickly deciphered the content on the stone tablet.

Those True Gods and Kings of Angels with sufficiently high status felt their spirituality stirred, subconsciously looking at the new content on the stone tablet:

"God"... Chaos Sea + "Visionary" Unique + "Sun" Unique...

"Lord of the Mysteries"... "Sefirah Castle" + "Fool" Unique + "Error" Unique...

This is content regarding Above the Sequence.

This is also the Pathways and formulas for becoming the Oldest One that the Creator deduced after grasping the Authority of Omniscient and Omnipotent.

"From this moment on, there is a glimmer of dawn in the Doomsday."

Chumen did not stop all of this from happening; this was Sasriel's arrangement.
