Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 714: Chapter 254: Casting the ‘Sword’_2

Sure, here is the translation for the text you provided:

In the All-Spirit Realm, the three Goddesses wielding the Reincarnation Scepter feared no enemy, even if a Divine King from the outside came in person, they would simply be suppressed by the entire Spirit Realm’s power and then easily subdued in front of the Well of Reincarnation.

Of course, Erinys didn’t think the current Divine King would be so foolish, secretly infiltrating the Spirit Realm instead.

Very soon, Erinys’s consciousness touched the reincarnation powers permeating the All-Spirit Realm, the very place where they were born.

Every contact with this vast, endless Great Divine Power made her utterly intoxicated, regardless of what change befallen upon the River of Oblivion, she could—

“—What’s going on? The reincarnation is ’empty’?”

Her expression changed, and Erinys found it hard to describe the situation she perceived.

The Well of Reincarnation was still there, continuing its duties, yet in Erinys’s perception, it appeared as an empty shell at the time.

Its power had long been drained away to some unknown place, and the River of Oblivion was no different. Its turbulence was due to its power being extracted, as it lacked the essence of Great Divine Power.

As a result, the countless souls within the river brought it ‘pressure,’ making it unable to maintain stability and tranquility.

“Hoo—”

Taking a deep breath, panic only lasted a moment before Erinys quickly reacted.

This was the Spirit Realm, and the Well of Reincarnation was a sacred artifact of Genesis Artifact level. Even if all the Great Divine Powers of the world combined, they couldn’t silently drain its power within the Spirit Realm.

Thus, the source behind this need not be in question; at the moment, she only needed to fulfill her duty.

“—Seal!”

With a light command, Erinys stepped onto the River of Oblivion.

The boiling waters were instantly suppressed by her, at least on the surface, everything seemed to return to calm.

Deep within the Spirit Realm’s core, no one noticed the change. Four Spirit Moons hung in the sky, illuminating the countless souls in the All-Spirit Realm.

Hemenun, Primordial Water.

The change in the Spirit Realm was distant, but Apep’s movements never ceased.

The bifurcated twin serpents showed no hesitation, pouncing upon each other at the moment of their split.

The aura of Destruction surrounded them, this being its innate mission.

Yet the next moment, in front of Apep, a drop of immensely pure liquid appeared out of thin air.

By instinct, the Great Serpent swallowed it without hesitation. It might have been a trap, but it neither had the intellect to recognize a trap nor the necessity to discern it.

As an undying Demon God, nothing in this world could truly harm it. So with jaws agape, Apep swallowed the liquid into its belly.

In an instant, influenced by some force, Apep seemed to forget where it was, or what it was about to do.

It suddenly calmed down, as if it posed no threat. The drop of liquid in its stomach began to rapidly diminish.

It wouldn’t be able to control Apep for long. It wouldn’t take much time before the undying Demon God awoke and then, with an even fiercer attitude, responded to this world.

But for the God, that was enough.

Extending a hand to grasp the separated twin serpents, reuniting them once more. Sacred fire ignited in Its palm, scorching the serpent’s distracted body.

The scales gradually took on a metallic sheen, with black aura seeping into the serpent’s spine. Hemenun world began to tremble, seemingly outraged at the Outer God’s action.

However, witnessing this scene, Ra was both shocked and somewhat puzzled. The other could indeed cause Apep to lose consciousness, which was astonishing, but what were They doing now?

Forging a Divine Artifact? That was somewhat laughable.

If such a simple method could annihilate Apep’s existence, would he have allowed it to exist until today?

Apep was undying; only by annihilating its will could it potentially be destroyed, otherwise any action was meaningless.

But to destroy its spirit, could such a simple method achieve that?

Regardless of the reason, Ra hesitated only for a moment before raising his hand.

The Sun emitted an intensely scorching light, though speckled with dark spots, its majesty was undiminished.

The Great Day was like a weapon, mercilessly hurled towards the Outer God’s direction.

The golden wheel traced the sky, its trajectory reflected on the water’s surface.

Ra-Atum melded with the Sun’s center, with the Benben Stone suspended above his head.

The Outer God was within reach, this alien visitor who never regarded him from beginning to end had already forged Apep’s snakehead into a “Sword Hilt,” and the serpent’s body into a Scabbard.

Yet Ra knew as long as Apep awoke, all this would be futile. Even if the Outer God could bind its form, it couldn’t restrict its will, making it serve his purpose.

“Take this—”

Clang—

With one strike, he cleaved into the Sun’s core.

Ra-Atum watched the Black Sword pierce through his chest with a calm face.

Admittedly, this artifact was quite powerful. The Outer God seemed to have incorporated forces of “Death” and “Destruction” from their world here, to serve as the core, commanding Apep’s power.

But Ra also noticed that the will within the sword was showing signs of awakening under this direct challenge to the Sun.

Was there a point? No point. If the Outer God did all this just for a method to deliver a fatal blow to the Sun, then Ra-Atum reckoned that could have played right into his hands.

Indeed, as the Sun’s adversary, Apep’s power inflicted special harm to the Sun. Suffering this equated to taking a joint attack from the Outer God and Apep, severely wounding him, but as for the result, is this not exactly what he desired?

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, Ra-Atum extended a hand and grasped the Black Sword piercing his chest.

His palm was easily sliced open; with the severe damage to the Sun, this Black Sword seemed to draw even more powerful Destruction forces from all things.

Yet facing all this, Ra-Atum merely took a step forward.

“Grievously wounded, it’ll be hard to contribute in the subsequent battles.”

“Therefore for the great Hemenun world, as the Sun of Egypt, I choose to perish together with the enemy!”

It seemed he was persuading himself, but perhaps more so speaking to the world.

Facing such a formidable foe, any price to win seemed justified.

So in a flash, molten streams spilled from the Sun, igniting into a blood-red flame, like the blood fire of the Sun God.

Ra-Atum himself was also ignited, the entire Sun like a powder keg about to explode. @@novelbin@@

Hemenun’s tremors intensified; without an external enemy, such self-destructive behavior by a God would never be permitted, yet now it seemed like it was bidding farewell to its offspring.

Meanwhile in the perception of Amon-Ra, an overwhelmingly powerful force than before surged toward him, while conversely, the constraints of the world’s Law on him diminished considerably.

If the Sun were destroyed, the world would only be left with the Eight Primordial Spirits sustaining all things, and some scattered Divine Authority, bringing him devastating impact.

Fortunately, he had previously slain the mortal, easing the Alien Realm’s assault. Otherwise, Amon-Ra even suspected that if the Alien Realm continued its prior fervent and powerful pace against Hemenun’s will, then when the Sun fell, the world with internal cycles severely damaged would never withstand the invasion of the Alien Realm.

At that moment, the world’s barrier would be penetrated, the main body dismembered. In the ‘very short’ time span at the world level, Hemenun would be swallowed by the other, leaving neither himself nor the Outer God ever able to seize back from the Alien Realm’s maw—

“Hmm?”

Suddenly realizing something within, Ra was startled.

Looking at it this way, killing that mortal seemed not only advantageous for himself…

So if the Outer God actually anticipated his anticipation, then did It know he could gain from the world’s destruction?

If it were unknown, let it be, but if known, why would It collaborate with his actions?

Abruptly raising his head, in Amon-Ra’s eyes, he saw the expanding Sun, the erupting Light, and also the Black Sword, whose power was similarly surging, cleaving the Sun entirely, corroding with Death and Apocalypse.

Apep’s will was thus stimulated, only a little time remained until its awakening. Once awake, it would grow even stronger.

His own strength was also nearing completeness, the power of the Absolute Void’s two sides began their final unification on him.

The full realm of Great Divine Power had opened before Amon-Ra, a strength even he previously couldn’t imagine lay within his grasp.

Even as one of the four aspects of the world, once the symbol of the Absolute Void reached perfection, Amon-Ra was certain he could obtain some even more remarkable benefits.

And Its side, what did It have to defeat me?

The shadow flickered in his heart, Amon-Ra could confirm that even as strong as the Outer God was, He still far from touched the pinnacle of Great Divine Power.

If It now led back the Alien Realm’s power, then at worst he would flee. Anyway, with the world’s rigid operating rules, Amon-Ra didn’t think he’d be pinned here.

Moreover, the Absolute Void itself was Hemenun’s outermost barrier, naturally advantaged in opposing the ‘Nothing’ outside the world, could grant him a longer existence post world departure.

Given this situation… holding the absolute advantage in power hierarchy, the presence of the world was insufficient to annihilate him, Amon-Ra couldn’t conceive how he could lose.

“Maybe… this is just the after effect of the Sun’s fall.”

In any case, Ra-Atum was once a part of him.

When the Sun perished, he was unavoidably affected, whether through the pain of facing death or the world’s inherent sorrow.

After all, it was not just him. From this moment onwards… humanity in Egypt forever lost the Light.
