38 Gungnir

"You are stunning, Diana..." Lucas smiled as he danced around the room, holding her hands and hip.

"However, I can't say the same..." Diana mocked him, but her smile brightened as she kept up with Lucas perfectly.

"Oww." After hearing this, Lucas gave Diana a painful look that Diana thought was really phoney.

"You really are something, aren't you?" Diana whispered at his ear. "You aren't even trying to hide?"

Lucas became serious; he was somewhat determined to seize this opportunity.

But he was interrupted, and for a brief moment, Lucas didn't know how to fell; he had a strong suspicion that the goddess of doom was keeping an eye on him.

She came to a halt in the middle of the dance, causing him to come to a halt as well. As she looked over the edge of the banquet, her expression was frozen.

"What happened!?" Lucas inquired, clutching her shoulder, having noticed her fearful expression.

The music ceased. The guests turned to look at them, seeing the situation.

"It is 'Him.' 'He' is here, along with the lord." Diana's voice was slightly hoarse as horrible memories that she didn't want to recall flashed through her mind.

Before Lucas could ask any more questions, a terrifying divine aura swept the entire banquet hall unrestrainedly.

Everyone was frozen, some in complete terror and horror. While others couldn't take the repression and froze under the pressure. But they all had one thing in common: they all kept their heads down instinctively in their posture.

"Don't look, moron." Diana covered the eyes of Lucas, who could still move under this aura and was trying to see, as the divine aura didn't affect them that much.

Despite the fact that the divine aura had no effect on the surroundings, their lord's authority was no longer restrained. Looking at their lord now, anyone below the rank of king of angels will be instantly burned to ashes.

"Who exactly is 'He?'" Lucas finally asked with difficulty, under the divine aura.

"It's the angel of time, or, more accurately, 'Him,' the god of mischief." Diana's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

In the edge of banquet hall....

"I already have what I wanted, Amon." Aucuces spoke with a smirk while holding a brown book, which Blaise had obtained from Trunsoest. "Everything is already in motion; the tide of times will soon sweep the Solomon empire into history, ushering in a new era, under my plans."

Aucuces approached Amon, looking down and raising his right hand. He used the authority of "Knowledge," giving some of the "knowledge" he knew power, more importantly, it was the myths.

A golden spear appeared in his hand.

With just the appearance of a golden spear in his hand, a phantom of a tree with nine galaxies formed behind the golden spear.

Gungnir, the legendary spear!

The phantom of the tree, however, was invisible to all under Auceses' control, concealing the identity of the spear and myth from the prying eyes.

Amon was not in the mood to think about how the book ended up in the hands of the Aucuces because the spear screamed danger to him. He had a feeling that if he was targeted by the golden spear, he wouldn't be able to escape it all, no amount of deceit or even time would be enough save him.

"But, Amon, will you live to see the new era?" While golden pure light fell on Amon's figure, melting him, Aucuces asked with a smile. "Let's find out shall we?"

"It's truly..." Despite his circumstances, Amon still wanted to speak up.

"Even if it was known to your true body, it's pointless." Aucuces interrupted his attempts. "The timing couldn't be better. So, consider this a declaration...." He paused and looked at the direction of Solomon Empire, then he continued with a grin. "A declaration of war."

Aucuces threw the spear with all his might in the direction of the Solomon Empire. The spear immediately blazed in its path before disappearing from sight.

In the night sky above the northern continent, a blazing shooting star appeared, the terrifying light that erupted from it, left a trail of light that almost illuminated the sky in its paths.

The stars in the night sky were completely dimmed by the illumination of light, and the sky was completely brightened, as if the sun itself had descended on the world.

Gungnir descended from the sky with such force that it ripped apart everything in its path.

The very northern continent began to tremble under the mighty force that had not yet descended, as various earthquakes erupted around.

Gungnir finally made its way into the Solomon empire, rupturing the very reality in its path.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The distorted rules woven into the fabric of reality also broke with it.

Even though the legendary spear was extremely powerful, it only affected what was in its path under the control of Auceses, causing no collateral damage; otherwise, the entire northern continent would have been destroyed by its mere descent.

"Aucuces, you dare!"

A majestic voice rang out, echoing throughout the Solomon Empire.

Immediately, a twisted world descended around the spear, attempting to contain the mighty spear itself.

A majestic yet twisted city stood in the middle of the distorted world, where reality was completely black and white. Every building in the city was asymmetrical in design, and citizens wandered aimlessly through it.

The most important thing was that there was a black sun in the middle of the sky.

The golden spear trembled, as if enraged, and began emitting blazing light that immediately shone on the entire twisted world, dissolving all the distorted rules that were attempting to act on it.

The spear buzzed as its power surged, and before Solomon could do anything else, the entire reality of twisted world shattered like shards of mirror, seemingly unable to bear the power of the spear anymore.

The golden spear resumed its path to its target, seemly unstoppable by anything in the world.

Gungnir flew towards a range of mountains, where various gothic castles was present along the mountain range.

Amon stood on the mountain's edge, facing the golden spear that was coming for his life; his authority was completely useless against the spear.

He had not anticipated the situation becoming so dire that his life was in danger. He knew he had no chance against the spear; even fleeing wouldn't work because he felt the spear had locked him and would not let go until it took his life.

He finally sighed and shouted. "Adam!"

Immediately, a ring of pitch-black columns rose around him, forming an ancient cathedral that completely protected Amon within.

It didn't stop there; a phantom of being nailed in an inverted cross appeared above the bone cathedral, followed by a black, sticky, and depraved ocean that encircled the cathedral.

As the spear blazed towards the cathedral, the black ocean surged as waves filled with degeneration's authority rushed towards the spear in an attempt to corrupt it.

The spear buzzed again and continued unaffected through the black ocean.

Then it slammed into the bone cathedral with all its might!

Crack!

A sound was heard all over the world.

As various cracks appeared all over the bone cathedral, seemingly unable to withstand the power of the spear.

However, a powerful force from the hanged man's phantom descended onto the cathedral, causing the cracks to heal before the cathedral could collapse.

Then there was a stalemate between the spear and the hanged man, as to whose power triumphed over the other; the spear continued to exert his power on the cathedral, but it couldn't break it due to the hanged man. The power of the hanged man could not affect the spear; it could only keep the cathedral from collapsing.

The spear, on the other hand, trembled violently before emitting a scorching light, in hopes breaking the deadlock.

Boom!

The golden spear exploded in a mass of light, expanding and disintegrating everything in its path like a dazzling sun.

The surrounding mountain range instantly disintegrated as the light expanded.

However, the space was distorted visibly around the entire place, in order to separate it from reality, thus prevent further destruction from spreading.

The phantom of the hanged man also expanded and completely covered the bone cathedral within it.

A black ocean manifested from the authority of degeneration appeared before the dazzling sun and completely covered the sun within.

The sun brightened and melted the black ocean, but it also dimmed immediately afterwards, beneath the black ocean's waves.

The golden sun and the black ocean both disappeared after long fight, leaving only the ruins and bone cathedral.
