War and Disorder
Divine punishment descended. And for a little moment, the world flashed white before receding, revealing a perfectly unscathed God-Slaying legion.
The legion's surroundings were engulfed in crimson-darkness. In the embers of chaos and blood, the whole fabric of existence was warping. It was the authority of War and Disorder.
"Haha!" The Blood Emperor bellowed fearlessly, his crazy eyes locked on the brilliant sky. "Do you think I'm a moron?"
He then cast a sidelong glance towards Amon.
Amon looked down at the horrified troops. The tranquil darkness gleamed in his monocle. The warriors slumped on the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
However, the link with the Blood Emperor remains. Through this link, Alitsa summoned all of their power into him, becoming stronger exponentially.
A deep, chaotic darkness descended near the Blood Emperor. A middle-aged man dressed in black regal attire emerged from it. His head was adorned with a black crown.
Black Emperor!
The two emperors stood at the mountain's summit, looking at the sky with fierce eyes filled with a striking identical hatred.
In the skies, Earth Mother used her earthy authority to aim her hand at the two emperors and raise her hand high towards the astral world.
The two emperors did not fight back. Their figures teleported from Earth to the Astral World, accompanied by the Eternal Blazing Sun and Earth Mother.
At least temporarily, peace reigned in the Andes Mountains. Antigonus breathed a sigh of relief as the unsettling muttering in his ears faded with the decreasing heavenly pressure of the Eternal Blazing Sun.
He turned to face Amon and opened his mouth to discuss their strategy.
Suddenly, he saw a blurry figure.
This person was dressed in a long, tiered black gown. Her beautiful and gentle face was covered in thin black gauze. Her eyes stood out the most, as if they were compressing the entire starry night sky. It made one feel both peace and uncontrollable fear.
Evernight Goddess!
Antigonus' eyes were filled with terror at the sight of the woman, and his mind flashed back to the horrible recollections of the past. His heart plummeted into the pits of sorrow, leaving him vulnerable to an enemy strike for a brief moment.
And for the Evernight Goddess, this was more than enough. Antigonus was instantly erased with an eraser, as if he were merely a sketch.
The Evernight Goddess then looked down at the sleeping legion, softly waiving her hand. The god-slaying legion was engulfed in darkness as it erupted. She also kept this area concealed.
After a few moments, the darkness broke through the war and disorder authorities and enveloped the legion, causing them to disappear forever in the darkness, serving their connection with Blood Emperor.
The Evernight Goddess eventually turned to face the Angel of Time, who bowed lightly with his distinctive smile on his lips.
"Evernight."
She just spared him a glance before looking ahead for a moment and fading away into darkness.
Amon sighed as he adjusted his monocle. He began heading toward the other end of the summit, where there was an oddly placed wooden bench.
Adam sat on that wooden bench with a simple white cloak and a silver cross around his neck, just like any other average priest.
He was holding an empty book and was writing on the first page.
Amon sat with the priest, his legs crossed, his brows raised at the book.
"What is the title?"
"Intis Empire." Adam smiled gently.

Palace of Eternity, Backlund.
Trunsoest and Auernia strolled out onto the balcony of the majestic palace, their hands tightly together. Their eyes were fixated on the sky.
"The time has come." Trunsoest said, her clear eyes fixed on his love. "I must confront him and put an end to this once and for all. Only one thing will prevail by the sunset: disorder or order."
"You will triumph." Auernia whispered softly while kissing his lips.
"You are always so positive." Trunsoest chuckled and shook his head. "You know, there's a chance I might di..."
A finger was placed on his lips, preventing him from speaking. Auernia said again, her voice becoming firmer with each iteration.
"You shall triumph, my love." Her hand trailed to his, and she could feel his heart throbbing viscerally against his chest. "Believe in yourself. At the end of the day, order equals chaos. While, disorder is only a small part of chaos."
"It's a mere reflection."
"In the end, order will always win."
"How do you know what to say all the time? Do you practise your speeches?" Trunsoest asked, his eyes narrowing with joy.
"Just for you." Auernia huffs a soft laugh, patting his chest after she felt his thumping heart calm.
Trunsoest put his arms around her waist and drew her in closer, their faces inches apart, hot breath flooding their lungs.
"I will win." Trunsoest declared firmly at the end.
"Go, my love." Auernia beamingly smiled. "And slay the Black Emperor."
Trunsoest kissed her fervently and nodded, before his figure vanished into brass particles, leaving Auernia alone, her stare lingering on Trunsoest's fading figure, before running towards the edge of the balcony, her eyes set on the sky, which had already been ablaze with fire and light.

The Floating Continent, Astral World.
The God of Steam and Machinery gazed out the window of the topmost silver tower into the limitless astral universe.
"Milord." Evelyn finally broke the silence by asking. "The War of Gods."
"No." The Steam God shook his head. "There's no point in going up against him again."
He turned to face his angel. "How is the project going?"
"It's almost done, Milord." Evelyn nodded, her gaze sombre as ever. "All that is required for it to become total is your authority."
"I'll come after the gods' war is over." After some thought, the God of Steam said. Evelyn nodded and walked out from the tower, leaving the deity alone in his thoughts.
The God of Steam and Machinery shifted his gaze to the astral world, where the god battle had already begun. His authority engulfed the entire continent, shielding it from the powerful waves unleashed by the fight.
The project was part of a larger plan he devised just for Diana Knight. He will strike her death kneel when she starts her ascension. Even Aucuses wouldn't be able to save her at the moment....
______________
Unknown location, Northern Continent.
Diana Knight approached the bronze tower's window, staring out into the astral realm.
The gods' war is about to commence. According to her probing, the probabilities of the god falling in this fight are far too high.
But she was unconcerned about her lord. Her lord's power increased exponentially after ascending to become the symbol of power. In terms of raw power, her lord should be unrivalled in the sequence-0 category.
Diana finally turned aside and headed towards the globe projection.
The deadline is approaching. Her preparations are nearly finished.
She knew, though, that Artisan would not stand by and witness her ascension. He is bound to do something.
She needs to speak with the Lord about this....
Diana clutched her purple book firmly. Her figure crumbles into information, surging towards and blending with the envisioned world.
Everything within went white instantly.
The "Truth" has been revealed.

In the infinite space between Earth and Venus, Astral World.
Alitsa and Solomon descended, solemnly facing forward, their hands holding their weapons.
A golden chariot was dragged along the infinite starry sky by four majestic horses, emitting an infinite amount of pure light.
Aucuses grasped the reins in one hand and the golden spear in the other.
"Ombella is not there." Solomon grumbled, his eyes narrowing on the traitor. It was a disgrace. He loathed this alliance with his soul.
But he bore the hatred only to deal with the bigger threat, Aucuses. And the white angel will fall today. They will make certain of it.
"She is in concealment." Alitsa answered flatly, his gaze fixated on the Aucuses in the chariot. "waiting for the right opportunity."
The magnificent horses neighed. Aucuses let the reins fall and vaulted high from his chariot. The sun chariot instantly disintegrated into light particles.
Aucuses descended before them, his stride shattering the fabric of reality. He spun his spear in his palm, a wide grin on his lips.
From him erupted a vast divine aura, exuding infinite power and terror. The reality around him was torn asunder by the mighty aura, revealing the starless void. His steps reverberated in the astral world like the most destructive thunder in the cosmos.
The mighty aura pressed down on Alitsa and Solomon's shoulders, quivering their figures. Fear, which they thought they had conquered, returned, spreading its claws and piercing their hearts, flooding them with doubts and questions, freezing them.
