Chapter 185: Emperor Falls, Empire Crumbles

"Living Being"……

Trensost did not attempt to imprison the Order Shadow with more Rules, but instead held his ground, pinning down the majority of the "Black Emperor's" power.

Hum!

At the same time, the entire Solomon Empire was shrouded under the pressure of two other True Gods.

"Evernight Goddess", "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

Among them, the "Mother Goddess of Earth" was intercepted by the newly ascended "Craftsman God" and did not arrive here.

But a full three True Gods were already an irresistible force.

Solomon watched with indifferent eyes the starry night that had already enveloped half the empire and the Kingdom of Knowledge that had appeared in the Astral World.

With two types of Authority descending upon His empire, He had already lost at this moment; cities belonging to the Solomon Empire were constantly having their Rules forcibly distorted and annexed into the Trensost Empire.

In just an instant, those citizens had already forgotten Him, their Emperor, in their hearts, and began to reject the asymmetrical style from within, integrating into the laws of the Trensost Empire.

The two True Gods occupied too much of Solomon's energy; He had already lost the power to protect His citizens.

"You have already lost!" Trensost, wearing luxurious robes, a Night Crown on his head, and holding a Brass Book, even invaded the capital of the Solomon Empire directly.

"This is my empire." Solomon still sat high on the Emperor's throne, looking down at Trensost, just as He had hundreds of years ago.

"A true Emperor never abandons His empire and His citizens."

Solomon's words were filled with determination, causing Trensost to be slightly stunned.

"……Then you shall perish with your empire." All expression vanished from Trensost's face, returning to the indifference of a True God.

At this moment, the "Evernight Goddess" and the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" both intensified their erosion of the entire Solomon Empire, nearly completely suppressing the "Black Emperor's" "Distortion" Authority.

"This place's order forbids shadows……"

Trensost wrote the final Rule on the last page of the Brass Book.

"……Violators shall suffer……"

"【Judgment】!"

This was the "Judge's" strongest power, the absolute authority possessed after establishing Rules.

This was the "Judge's" special characteristic; His "Judgment" authority could only be exercised after the Rules were sufficiently perfected.

But once the Rules were established according to the "Judge's" will, this final "Judgment" was absolutely terrifying and impossible to resist.

Hum!

A certain power surged, and Solomon's body directly became a shadow.

He seemed to be composed of chaotic, jumbled lines; He was a Loophole in the Rules, an "Shadow" beneath order.

At this moment, Solomon transformed into a pure shadow, naturally intending to fight to the death!

"Distortion!"

Under the pressure and imprisonment of the two great True Gods, Solomon could only use His final strength to unleash His most powerful ability.

He distorted the Rules of the place where He was, increasing the rationality of the shadow's existence, thereby countering the Rules established by Trensost and the "Judgment" attached to those Rules.

He did not choose to directly distort this Rule because He was already powerless to cope with it.

After the Rules gradually became rigorous and complete, the power of the Order Shadow was restricted, and with the presence of two other True Gods, He was already facing His final death tribulation.

"【Judgment】 Shadow!" Trensost held the Brass Book, pressed his hand down, and carried out the "Judgment" to the end.

The shadow that Solomon had transformed into paused, as if it were about to be forced back out of this form.

At this moment, wounds continuously appeared on the black shadow; traces of punishments such as hanging, beheading, and burning appeared on the shadow.

This was part of the "Judgment".

Sss!

The final "Judgment" arrived.

It was like a "Purification" from the "Sun"; more accurately, this should be called the "Light of Order".

This light descended from the sky, pinning the writhing Order Shadow straight down.

Under the judgment of this "Light of Order", the Order Shadow was disintegrating.

Finally, under the gaze of the brass-colored eyes of the Kingdom of Knowledge and the starry Red Moon, this mass of Order Shadow completely shattered.

Rumble!

The entire capital of the Solomon Empire was trembling; it was the collapse of the Black Emperor's mausoleum beneath the capital.

As a "Judge", Trensost's understanding of the "Black Emperor" was second only to Solomon's, and he knew how to completely kill Him.

Destroying all the mausoleums, erasing all the Rules Solomon had established from the level of the Rules, and even directly accommodating the "Black Emperor" Characteristic……

These methods were sufficient to completely erase Solomon from this world.

An Emperor who ascended to godhood by founding an empire would inevitably have the entire empire buried with Him upon His death.

The statue of the supreme, majestic Emperor in the hearts of all the citizens of the Solomon Empire shattered with a boom.

"The Black Emperor has fallen?" All the empire's citizens fell into a state of confusion and helplessness.

At this moment of turmoil in the world, the fall of the Black Emperor absolutely pulled the spine out of the Solomon Empire.

Trensost looked at the mass of disintegrating shadow, was silent for a moment, and then, sensing a certain residual power, began to track down all of Solomon's remaining mausoleums.

The greatest sign of respect for an enemy is to kill Him completely.

……

The war between "Dream" and the "Underworld Emperor" in the Underworld had too great an impact, causing the imperial war to enter its final stage directly.

At the same time, Chumen's appearance also caused sudden changes in several other battlefields.

Fabuti, who was still going mad and trying to break out from the Abyss, stopped abruptly.

Such power reminded Him of that Third Epoch Creator who had once beaten Him severely and had made Him afraid to have any thoughts for the more than a thousand years that followed.

"Roar!" Fabuti roared madly, and then……

He retreated, returning to the deepest layer of the Abyss.

Sasriel and Adam both turned their heads to look at the Underworld rift manifesting outside, speechless with astonishment.

No one understood that version of themselves better than they did.

"Has he already reached this step?" Adam was silent for a moment, sighing softly.

Even he, who was left with only Godhood, was amazed by the status and power Chumen was currently displaying.

"There should still be some problems." Although Sasriel also sighed, there was a faint sense of worry.

"His state might not be very good." Sasriel intensified the stabilization of the Seal, reshaping the Seal previously laid down by the Ancient Sun God.

"For you." Sasriel threw the key item for fusing Godhood and humanity—the second Blasphemy Slate—directly to Adam.

The Shadow that covered the heavens and the earth also retracted completely at this moment, and Sasriel departed directly.

Adam regained control of the Blasphemy Slate and watched Sasriel leave.

"Is this what it is like when humanity is prominent?"

Because of a friend, he had returned the Blasphemy Slate without even hesitating.

If he were in Sasriel's position, he would likely have tried to obtain the greatest possible benefit before returning the Blasphemy Slate.

This is Godhood.
