While the Guardians were crying, seeing one of their Gods up close. That God, Mitteus came down, ignored them, and prostrated before Ayensi.
Their reverend God looked as pale as a paper.
However, the Guardians couldn't see that. Their minds had to take a moment to buffer and process what just happened.
Before they could get back to their senses, other familiar Gods came down that they didn't notice materialized as well.
This made them more baffled.
'That's God Sapher, God of Elements.'
'God Elefen, God of Creation?'
'God Yemere, God of Peace...'
...
The memories of each God, coming down to anoint them as the new Guardian was carved into their heads.
The disparity between the two scenes - the Gods in their memories and the Gods in front of them - is just too far. The Guardians felt that they were living in a sinful dream.
However, what happened next didn't let them rest and think over it.
As if he saw nothing, Ayensi had his eyes locked onto the Immovable Shield while he walked, treating the prostrating Gods as if they were the ground.
When his feet stepped onto God Mitteus's head and continued from there, stepping the Gods who were in his path, the Guardian's no longer took any time to think as they have already lost their minds.
""AHHHH--!!"" they all went berserk. Even Peace's eyes were filled with bloodlust.
No matter what their side is. Whether they are the Guardian of Death or Guardian of Life, Guardian of Destruction or Guardian of Creation, they all went frenzied. All the Guardians rushed towards Ayensi without considering that it was a very dumb move.
By doing so, Ressuim turned into a chaotic mess. The normal being felt incredible pressure and only those who are strong enough could stand on their own feet.
The enormous trees withered in the background while small seeds grew at a fast rate. Ground becoming gooey while tides began to rise higher than the sky. Old people got stronger while the young got weaker. Floating lands began to fall, mountains sunk, clouds rose beyond space, blizzards quietened, storms vanished...
It was not the Gods who were the cause of this since they have taken their material form. It was the Guardians, losing control of themselves, that made the fragmented laws they held disordered.
Each Guardian's full speed was terrifying as they could reach Ayensi in just a matter of split seconds. However, in the middle of that split second, they felt a greater presence that deterred their movement.
They felt a ginormous weight on their shoulders. At once, their senses came back to them.
"... G-great Goddess Shiena...!!" Power trembled.
The other Guardians sipped in a cold breath as they all looked above and saw a sea of stars even though the sun was still hanging in the sky.
In the middle of the sea of stars was the moon and even though covered in white veils, anyone would sense who it is at first glance.
The Ruler of the Highest Realm... Goddess Shiena.
Her physical body was a giantess at the start but soon, it transformed smaller and smaller.
Shiena then prostrated in front of Ayensi just like the others.
Together with millions of Gods, they created a pure white land as all their foreheads touched the ground.
Their holiness radiated all over Ressuim. Even though there are countless strange phenomena happening all around the world, they felt safe. Their faith took over them.
"Godking, we apologize for not receiving you well." an angelic voice resounded.
Only Goddess Shiena had her head lifted to see Ayensi.
"It's fine. Step aside, I have to test something out." but Ayensi didn't even bat an eye at her.
Shiena let out a weird sound in response to hearing Ayensi's voice as she submissively made way.
"God... king?" Spirit muttered as the rest of the Guardians all looked at Ayensi with a dumbfounded face.
In just a few minutes, these surprises have shaken the core of their very souls. They could only stare, speechless. Their hostility was easily washed away.
Ayensi finally walked past them and finally arrived in front of the Immovable Shield.
None of the Gods moved as if they were mere statues. Only Goddess Shiena stood and walked over.
"Godking..." she muttered with a very feminine voice, "Are you interested in this shield?"
Ayensi nodded, "Yes, very much."
"Would you like to take it?"
"No, I want to destroy it."
"..."
"You don't think I can?" Ayensi smiled at Shiena.
"Umm... I think Godking can do anything. It's just that I'm curious as to how Godking will do it. When this shield first mysteriously appeared, we tried everything and didn't get to scratch it. Even when placing it at the edge of the universe where everything rips apart, it stayed the same. It only moves when its owner moves it."
"Hmm..." Ayensi responded as if he already knew this information.
Before Shiena could speak, Ayensi raised one arm.
The Goddess's eyes widened and she immediately waved her hand, teleporting the Guardians and the Gods to another dimension.
They are still there as if nothing happened but they can no longer interact with the world. At this point, all Gods stood up to see what Ayensi will do.
"Huh?" meanwhile, the Guardians felt like they have become souls. They cannot feel the air nor the ground, but they can still breathe and walk. They go wherever their mind tells them to.
The moment they all looked at Ayensi, the latter had already struck the shield.
Fu~*
At once, a bright light enveloped everything...
Power could feel his body shaking in this light.
"What happened?" he looked around to only see the light before his surroundings warped. That was when he could see his fellow Guardians floating in the dark empty space.
The Guardians all looked at each other, dumbfounded. But as they glance at each other, they saw a faint light at the edge of their eyes.
Noticing this, they all turned their heads to see what seemed to be a big ball floating in the dark space.
"Ressuim?" Lowes muttered as he had already seen their world from that perspective before.
Hearing this, all Guardians had their jaws trembled. Because, that ball right now which should be their world, was being pushed away by an expanding ring of light.
Ressuim seemed so frail. With just a "little" push, it broke while emitting a bright red color through the cracks and spreading a cloud of dust,
This ring of light was seemingly unstoppable as it expanded. It was as if it could somehow reach them.
Destruction felt so inferior in front of it.
"Unbelievable..." God Mittues gulped which the Guardians could hear.
"Godking had already reached a level where his single tap can create a force that can travel through space, time, and dimension."
