Chapter 258 - Chapter 257: The Descent of the Shining King: The Final Showdown

These so-called gods are not simply life forms that have reached a higher level of evolution.

Strong physical builds, various supernatural abilities, and longevity are merely the most superficial manifestations of divine power , not the true essence of a god.

For a god, true power must lie in its very essence, derived from rules and laws.

Only rules can embody the greatness of a god, and only a god who can manipulate rules is a great god.

Therefore, to truly be called a god, one must possess a genuine name, written with rules and divine attributes.

This is a perfect mastery of a god's divine power and, furthermore, a god's perfect integration with the rules .

There is a world of difference between a god who has a real name and a god who has not yet acquired a name .

To be more precise, it is essentially a kind of exaltation, almost equivalent to a huge leap in every respect.

This huge difference can, at times, be enough to completely reverse the entire situation, just as it is right now.

When Zhou Yi grasped this true mystery, which belonged to a god, his entire being instantly began to undergo earth-shattering transformations.

This was a change that came from the depths of his soul .

An endless fire instantly erupted from every part of his body.

Its ascent continued relentlessly, engulfing almost the entire sky.

This immense fire pushed even the Red Sea completely aside, instantly swallowing the lightning and the Holy Light in the sky .

The moment it appeared, this rising fire, with its terrifying power, astonished everyone present.

Lilith watched this sudden change in astonishment, while Jehovah was filled with anger and shock.

He couldn't believe Zhou Yi still possessed such power, nor could he believe that the authority of Karma had once again lost its effect .

Deep down, he was reluctant, but more importantly, there was an inexplicable fear.

This situation prompted him to once again use his strongest strength against Zhou Yi.

"Infidel! I command you in the name of God, retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

These three clear and unambiguous statements truly expressed Jehovah's most sincere thoughts at that moment.

Unlike previous, roundabout and circumstantial prayers that encompassed various possibilities, Jehovah this time exercised his authority in a remarkably direct manner.

In the past, when Jehovah used his authority over Karma to alter reality , he never dared to speak too definitively, for fear of the backlash that might come from his power to correct the rules .

He often used euphemisms to try and interfere with the changes in karma .

Because in this way, changes in reality can often leave many possibilities, and these possibilities can be filled with countless details, thus helping to influence changes in reality.

Words, especially for Jehovah , can never be too precise .

When the statements became too definitive, it would almost be a disaster for him.

However, it was clear that he wasn't in a position to worry about so many things at the moment.

The dramatic change Zhou Yi was undergoing made him increasingly uneasy.

He had to use very powerful methods to eliminate this new god, who already posed a threat to him .

Thereupon, leaving no room for maneuver, he shouted these three words.

Three spells, recited in quick succession, transformed the distorted Karma into almost invisible shackles, chaining them to the ever-rising Fire.

This situation instantly halted the rapid spread of the fire, after which it inevitably subsided.

Just then, Zhou Yi's voice suddenly came from within the fire.

"I am the embodiment of the Sun !"

Like the first sound that suddenly erupts in a vast, empty world , this sound possessed a magic that shook hearts and made the world tremble .

No sooner had Zhou Yi uttered these words than the Eternal Flame suddenly broke through all limitations, piercing the clouds and connecting the boundless sky with the earth.

Flames engulfed everything as far as the eye could see.

From amidst the flames, a pair of enormous hands slowly began to reach out.

These were the enormous hands of a giant.

Just by looking at these hands, you can imagine how immense the owner of these hands, capable of touching the clouds drifting in the air and the raging waves, truly was.

But when its true form was fully revealed, everyone present was shocked.

The clouds only reached up to her waist, and the mountains lay beneath her feet.

Even looking from his feet up to his head, the giant's true face was not visible.

It was very long.

If the flames engulfing his entire body hadn't taken on a human form, those who saw him wouldn't have even thought he was a giant; they would have simply believed him to be a divine mountain connecting heaven and earth.

Utterly majestic and magnificent, just like the ancient gods in the oldest legends who could hold the Sun and Moon in their hands and caress the stars.

When Jehovah saw this sight, he remembered the crushing defeat he had suffered a long time ago.

Even back then, he was a colossal god.

"Go back, disappear, vanish!"

Again, three magic words representing Karma , but even more ineffective than the previous ones.

This time, the result obtained by distorting the truth was no different than acting as if nothing had happened.

The giant was still a giant, and the fire on him was still burning fiercely.

Even high up in the sky, his face began to become clearer.

Amidst the flames, Zhou Yi's words echoed through the sky and the earth.

A series of sentences came from inside, each causing the giant to undergo unimaginable changes.

"I am the lord of the fire of the sky ."

The fire rose again, and the flames on the giant's head and face began to recede; only the golden, blazing Divine Fire remained, swirling freely around his head like hair tossed in the wind.

"I am the ruler of the light of the sky."

Golden rays, like ribbons hammered from pure gold, penetrated deeply into the muscles of the giant's body.

His body was adorned with golden patterns like sunlight , causing him to emanate an endless light of fire.

"I am the ruler of all the heavens; I am the God of the Sun , the king of light !"

Behind the giant statue, a bright, corona- like circle of light appeared.

The enormous wheel of light was filled with a golden gleam, as if it had been cast from the most dazzling gold.

"I bestow grace upon all things; all things are born from my light and grace."

As patterns resembling plants and flowers spread and grew on the golden wheel of light, the golden wheel of light simultaneously began to radiate golden light into the sky, painting the entire sky in the same color.

" I control the wheel of time . "

"Day and night change, the four seasons rotate, all according to my whim."

A slightly blurry disk appeared within the circle of light.

The disc had two separate hemispheres, one black and one white, and beyond the hemispheres were interconnected solid stone discs resembling jade.

They were placed inside the wheel of light and, as if guided by a magical force, began to spin on their own.

And each turn seemed to carry a sense of immense vastness and order, as if it were the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, an immutable decree.

"I am the Lord of the Void Realm , the King of power and glory."

A dark golden armor began to appear on Devin's body.

First, a skirt-like armor resembling rolling clouds, then protective wristbands, and finally, combat boots on her feet.

Although the shimmer of the deep gold color was somewhat faded, it evoked an unimaginable sense of dignity in the eyes.

Therefore, even though he didn't wear much armor, not even enough to cover his entire body, this armor already made him look as majestic and powerful as a god of war.

"Available everywhere, encompassing everything."

I am the sole and absolute ruler of the heavens.

I am the Shining King.

No enemy can stand against me.

" Life or death, Jehovah , you choose!"

The moment Zhou Yi uttered the last sentence, the giant engulfed in flames immediately clapped his fists together, simultaneously releasing a roar that shook the entire alternate world .

The column of fire that pierced the sky had shrunk, but the eternal divine flame still swirled around the giant's body.

Zhou Yi's form had vanished, or rather, transformed into this colossal entity that transcended the heavens and the earth.

Therefore, at that moment, the giant looked and felt exactly like Zhou Yi.

His eyes gleamed like fire, and a proud smile, just like Zhou Yi's, adorned his lips.

Even the expression in his eyes as he stood above countless clouds, gazing at Jehovah, was exactly the same as Zhou Yi's.

Zhou Yi had transformed into the colossal Bright King, and Lilith had naturally revealed her other form.

It transformed into a snake, an incredibly large snake.

Larger than any living creature, so immense that it surpasses even the imagination of a snake.

However, compared to the Bright King that Zhou Yi had transformed into, he was still very small; so small that he could only bite the Bright King's earlobe and wrap his body around him.

This is what made it resemble an earring.

The issue wasn't that Lilith wanted to appear that way , but that the Bright King was so enormous, so immense that he would have astonished any god.

His divine power was unimaginable, and Lilith still couldn't figure out why Zhou Yi , a new god , possessed such vast, boundless, almost infinite divine power .

But right now, whether he understands it or not is no longer important.

The key point here was that Jehovah God could no longer prevail over the manifested Bright King.

In Lilith's view , the Bright King, concealing his true name, absolutely possessed the power to wage war against God at that very moment.

After the war, the real question was who would win and who would lose.

Putting aside Lilith's presence and petty thoughts , Jehovah's consciousness was entirely focused on the presence, gaze, and words of the Bright King.

God's glory had been defiled, and this sin could only be appeased with the most severe wrath and an almost devastating price.

Thus the sky parted, and a new world appeared above this interwoven world .

Endless white clouds and sacred light came together, and countless angels were lined up in orderly rows above the clouds.

The incessant, overlapping sounds of hymns.

Like a galaxy connecting the sky, waves of light rushed down frantically.

In God's wrath, the heavens had fallen to earth.

Jehovah had used all his cards; his anger toward Zhou Yi had reached its peak in his heart.

He could no longer tolerate the existence of this god, so he made his decision at that moment.

They have to defeat this arrogant New God , no matter the cost .

For his greatness and also for his future existence as a god.

The rise of a new god often coincides with the fall of an old one.

Because he didn't want to be the old god, he had to suppress the New God in its initial stages.

"I am the Lord of the heavens, I am the king of the heavenly kingdom."

I am the Father of heaven, the Most High God.

"I judge you, you wicked, evil god; you will surely fail before me!"
