Around the enormous Immortal Phoenix on the Throne of Corpses, wings composed of pale flames swirled, and within its bronze eyes, layers of light flickered, as if hiding one illusory Door after another.
This "Ancient Death" that only existed in the dream did not pay attention to Aaron and the others who had suddenly intruded into the dream. Amidst sharp, insane roars, a pale green light burst forth from its bronze eyes, rushing towards the top of the Throne of Corpses.
Standing there was a colossal light-shadow, bearing a radiant cross on its back, as if capable of supporting heaven and earth.
As the entire dream trembled, the pure, blazing radiance could not be blocked even with tightly closed eyes. Enduring the soul-scorching high temperature, Aaron felt an indescribable gaze fall upon him.
Before he could look up and meet the gaze of the Ancient Sun God, who only existed in memory, the already trembling dream world suddenly twisted, and Aaron's figure instantly became somewhat transparent.
He then appeared directly in the middle of a golden ocean. Pallez and Astolfo's figures emerged from the void a few seconds later.
"Was this the mark Adam left on me during our last transaction, so when the Ancient Sun God saw me, he directly twisted the rules and sent me to the core area?"
"Even if Gregrace has long been dead, that was still the final dream of an Ancient God. To be able to influence his dream to such an extent, merely with an imprint from memory, is truly worthy of being half a Pillar…"
With complex thoughts in his mind, Aaron looked at Astolfo, who had followed him out of the dream through the loophole in the rules, waiting for him to confirm the exact location of the last Abomination characteristic.
He did not deliberately call Adam's name again. The strange behavior of the Ancient Sun God's memory imprint indicated that this Angel of Imagination might have already arrived at the Sea of Ruins.
The core area of the Sea of Ruins was still a golden ocean, which had evolved from the divine blood of the Ancient Sun God after his fall. Even after his demise, his near-Pillar-level authority still suppressed all residual divine power.
These conflicting residual divine powers formed patches of sky, twisted by authority and symbolism, above the golden ocean, achieving a strange balance.
Astolfo directly activated his mythical creature form, and the surging black thorns were like continuously spreading tentacles. A mad and oppressive aura permeated the air, seemingly sensing something.
Suddenly, in his blood-red eyes, a mass of pitch-black, viscous liquid appeared at the edge, and roars capable of halting thought and separating spirit from flesh abruptly rang out.
Found it!
Aaron's eyes lit up as he looked at the viscous liquid, which was repelled and restrained by other residual divine powers and unable to escape. His spirituality quietly poured into the Night Mark and the Holy Emblem of Life, and the balance of power that had been maintained for thousands of years was suddenly broken.
The starlit night and the lush, vibrant sea of flowers, emitting a strong aura of life, simultaneously contracted, leaving a gap that allowed the Abomination characteristic to break free from its shackles.
That sky, twisted by authority and symbolism, similar to the Astral World, immediately began to riot. Undistinguishable whispers, one after another, raged like curses, and the already collapsing rules became completely chaotic at this moment.
With the scene of a doomsday reflected in his pupils, Aaron suddenly threw the Die of Probability to Pallez Zoroast, and in his empty hands, the "Justiciar" card and the "Balancer" potion, enveloped in dark-gold mist, appeared respectively.
The advancement ritual for Sequence 2 "Balancer" requires contact with the abstract concept of "order, rules" during the advancement process and being washed by endless chaotic order, thereby completely transforming into a complete mythical creature form, and constructing a certain degree of a divine kingdom prototype with one's own accumulated rules.
The divine kingdom prototype, constructed by one's own rules, must completely replace the collapsed order of a chaotic area once, establish a new balance, and form a corresponding imprint in the Spirit World.
Aaron, who had already mastered the Nation of Disorder, had experienced the complete mythical creature form within the Sefirah. Furthermore, absorbing the remnants of the Night Emperor's divine kingdom fragments had already pre-constructed his divine kingdom prototype.
The two most difficult steps for ordinary "Chaos Hunter" had already been completed by Aaron. He only needed to thoroughly unleash the chaos of the Sea of Ruins to complete the final step.
Essentially, the divine kingdom prototype, which reconstructs order, needs to undergo the baptism of chaotic power. Therefore, the higher the authority of the source of the chaotic power, the more solid and perfect the divine kingdom prototype will be after baptism, and the better the effect of the corresponding advancement ritual.
Not only could the advancement ritual be perfectly completed, but even a portion of the Sequence 2 "Balancer" potion could be smoothly digested, saving a large amount of time. This was also the reason why Aaron painstakingly chose the Sea of Ruins as his advancement location.
Pressing the Blasphemy Card to his glabella, Aaron no longer suppressed or concealed himself, completely erupting with all his aura, and abruptly gulped down the bottle of "Balancer" potion.
A cold sensation slid through his body, and Aaron's consciousness rapidly ascended, as if he saw a magnificent world, located in an unknown place, entirely constructed from dark-gold mist.
Cities rose from that world, one by one, carried by the wave-like dark-gold mist, rushing down along some connection!
Aaron's body instantly disintegrated into golden chains of order, and the chains, interwoven with numerous patterns, continued to disintegrate with tremors, completely transforming into masses of dark-gold mist.
The Night Mark and the Holy Emblem of Life, which had been imprinted on Aaron's arm, were also stripped away at this moment, as if they had gained life, and each flew towards the corresponding residual divine power in the chaotic sky.
Just as Astolfo was about to obtain the Abomination characteristic that had broken free from its shackles, and Aaron was at the most crucial moment of his advancement, one strange and defiled symbol after another silently emerged on the golden sea surface, instantly forming a still-wriggling Door of flesh and blood.
A colossal tree, doused in oil, crawled out of the Door of flesh and blood, its spreading branches sprouting numerous arms, and its many insane, wicked eyes rolled everywhere.
Accompanied by a roar that pierced the spirit, the long-dormant Abomination, Suah, manifested a bloody moon behind him, and a mummy wrapped in yellowed bandages, pierced by countless brownish-red branches, quietly reappeared.
The mummy's mouth opened and closed, screaming incessantly, like a deliberately imposed curse. Astolfo's body instantly stiffened in place, and the black thorns covering his body began to ooze black, viscous fluid.
At this moment, one faint, starlight-condensed orb after another emerged on Suah's forehead, like strange, bent insects, or like eyes peeking out at the outside world.
This light cluster didn't even look at Astolfo, who was stiff in place. It merged with a bloody tide carrying terrifying yin power that emerged from the blood moon, and directly rushed towards the location where Aaron's body had originally been.
The Mother Goddess of Depravity and the Mother Tree of Desire had, at some unknown point, formed a secret alliance, using the Abomination Suah as a medium, and with the help of Mr. Door's power, lay dormant in the Sea of Ruins, waiting for prey to come to their Door.
Watching the bloody tide, imbued with endless aura of depravity, surge towards him, Pallez manifested Groselle's Travels with its dark brown cover in his hand. Without any hesitation, he directly threw it towards the bloody tide.
Just as the two were about to make contact, a dusty gray stone slab appeared in the middle, its surface marked with numerous mottled traces, appearing quite ancient.
Engraved on it were characters that seemed to be the origin of all languages, writing down one Sequence name after another, and one potion formula after another.
The second "Blasphemy Slate" formed after the fall of the Ancient Sun God!
Adam, with exceptionally pure eyes, grasped the Groselle's Travels, which had suddenly begun to struggle, then looked at the bloody tide blocked by the Blasphemy Slate.
A blood-red object, emitting pure radiance, as if it wanted to give birth to a brand new red moon, quietly emerged, carrying undisguised malice. Strange insects crawled out, seemingly wanting to open a portal connecting to an unknown place.
The Groselle's Travels in Adam's hand quietly disappeared, while the silver cross that had always hung on his chest fell towards the golden ocean beneath his feet.
Like boiling water splashed into a hot oil pan, the golden ocean suddenly became illusory, replaced by blazing but illusory miniature Suns, pulled by an invisible force and surging towards Adam.
This scene was like a reverse of the Ancient Sun God's fall. Drop by drop of divine blood returned, and Adam's eyes suddenly became illusory. He abruptly grasped the second "Blasphemy Slate," and around him, a vast ocean, seemingly encompassing all colors and all possibilities, appeared.
Some of the powers that had been previously wandering in the core area of the Sea of Ruins, washing Aaron's divine kingdom prototype, were drawn and converged above Adam's head. Winds and waves intertwined and gathered, and a white Tower with numerous brass eyes quietly emerged.
With the return of the Ancient Sun God's divine blood and the blessing of the second "Blasphemy Slate," corresponding authorities and symbols filled Adam's imagination.
In the end, the ancient stone slab, encompassing all colors and all possibilities, swelled up, and after merging with Adam, it expanded into a colossal light-shadow, as if capable of supporting heaven and earth, and domineeringly enveloped the bloody tide.
The eternal night that had enveloped the outer area of the Sea of Ruins instantly shattered, and the dream world collapsed with it. Amon, wearing a pointed soft hat, also fell from the dream world.
The right side of his face, with a monocle, was playful and mocking, while the left side was gloomy, as if covered by a layer of shadow.
Standing on the now normal-colored azure sea, Amon gazed into the distant direction, a faint glint flashing across his monocle:
"I didn't expect that Blasphemy Slate to have such an ability. 'Visionary,' tsk, truly enviable."
"Even if the authority is incomplete and far from the level of Father back then, it is still comparable to Sequence 0."
"When Father's divine blood is exhausted and that fanatic falls into weakness, I might just steal that Blasphemy Slate to play with…"
Manic, mocking laughter echoed, with a second voice faintly mixed in. Without the rapid traversal of the dream world, Amon, being just a clone, could only rush towards the distant core area by deceiving distance.
-----------------
Watching with his own eyes as the radiant giant, transformed from Adam, swallowed the terrifying bloody tide, Pallez's eyelids twitched wildly, but Astolfo's condition did not allow him to think much.
From his body, twelve-section Worms of Time emerged, forming an ancient, mottled phantom of a clock, enveloping Astolfo, and the black-green hands spun rapidly.
The curse originally targeting Astolfo was stolen and grafted onto Suah, who was madly rushing towards the Abomination characteristic. Freed from his restraints, the blood-red in Astolfo's eyes surged wildly as he looked at the Chained God who had lost the cover of the Red Moon.
As a newborn vessel, Astolfo and the Chained God had a reciprocal medium. He could be cursed, but he could also in turn influence this body!
Astolfo completely opened his heart, and this thought was instantly stolen and known by Pallez. The already enormous clock phantom expanded again, encompassing Suah and the Door of flesh and blood behind him.
Seemingly sensing the provocation, the Chained God's roars became even more mournful, and the brownish-red branches piercing his body began to surge, attempting to extend out of the Door of flesh and blood.
Just then, the milky-white Die of Probability flew out from the clock phantom, directly thrown towards the Door of flesh and blood.
Upon sensing the aura of the Mother Tree of Desire, the Die of Probability began to tremble gently, like a frightened, extremely angry child, stopping without hesitation at the vivid and bright 1 point.
The soul-piercing roar abruptly ceased, and the countless brownish-red branches madly surging towards the Door of flesh and blood also froze in place, seemingly having forgotten what they were supposed to do.
Outside the Door of flesh and blood, the Abomination Suah, closer to the "Die of Probability," was more noticeably affected. The Abomination characteristic was clearly within reach, yet he dramatically lunged in another direction.
Having forcibly manipulated fate beyond its own limits, all the seals on the Die of Probability shattered instantly. This Uniqueness of the Fate Pathway was completely activated at this moment, but then fell into a state of paralysis due to the terrifying backlash of fate.
Seizing this opportunity created at the cost of the Die of Probability's complete activation, Astolfo, while attempting to close the Door of flesh and blood using his connection with the "Chained God," also successfully snatched the Abomination characteristic with Pallez's help.
But with the Die of Probability's paralysis, the manipulated fate returned to its original course. Suah became even more frenzied, and the Door of flesh and blood, which had been gradually closing, also stopped.
And at this moment, wisps of dark-gold mist seeped out from the void, preventing the countless brownish-red branches behind the Door of flesh and blood from moving forward another step. They then constructed Aaron's body.
His eyes seemed to be filled with golden chains, and behind him was a divine kingdom prototype composed of phantom cities.
With the assistance of the residual divine power of Evernight and Earth Mother, Aaron replaced the rules of this chaotic land with the divine kingdom prototype within the Nation of Disorder, and formed a corresponding imprint in the Spirit World.
Now, he had completely transcended the realm of humans and become a complete mythical creature!
