After the "Miracle" that allowed the intruder to change the destination of the teleportation failed, Zaratul already realized that a complete Sequence 1 Worm of Time had entered the mausoleum.
Although he was surprised that Pallez dared to expose his true form when Amon could appear at any moment, he clearly had no intention of reminiscing.
Amidst the ceaseless, dreamlike cawing of crows, a thin layer of shadow quietly emerged from the cracks of history, enveloping the entire underground mausoleum in shadow, as if covered by a giant curtain.
The Realm of Mysteries, a nascent Divine Kingdom belonging exclusively to Zaratul!
He used this to seal off the space, and with the isolation of the Blood Emperor's ruins themselves and the distorted order that came with the Black Emperor's advancement, even Amon's true form would find it difficult to break in within a short time.
A vortex then appeared in the deep black spire church, formed by countless transparent worms, extending transparent, slippery tentacles covered in mystical patterns in all directions, simultaneously entangling Pallez's "Spirit Body Threads."
The next second, the crows on the top of the church floated upside down towards the sky, including Zaratul, who had already returned to human form.
Relying on the authority of the Trojan Horse of Fate, Pallez re-grafted his short-term future onto Zaratul, making the manipulation of the Spirit Body Threads point to himself. At the same time, blessed by the Snake of Fate, he "luckily" stole the ability to "Summon Historical Void Images" before Zaratul could react.
Zaratul, floating upwards, silently dissipated. This was merely a past projection. As the surrounding Realm of Mysteries deepened, a new historical projection reappeared at the top of the deep black church.
In this nascent Divine Kingdom, the concept of stealing was altered. All of Pallez's attempts to steal from historical projections "miraculously" failed at this moment.
Having experienced the strangeness of the Attendant of Mysteries at the hands of Antigonus in the Fourth Epoch, Pallez was not surprised by this rogue-like fighting style. Cowardly Seers always liked to hide in the nooks and crannies of the historical fog.
His eyes deepened slightly, and in an instant, he transformed into the phantom of a huge, ancient, mottled stone clock. The second hand, constructed by the Worm of Time, spun counter-clockwise, and an indescribable, invisible torrent surged forth, replaying a scene etched in the past:
A simple silver cross fell into a boundless golden ocean, and miniature, blazing yet illusory Suns leaped out, carrying an old, mottled stone slab, forming another sea that seemed to encompass all colors and all possibilities, and then condensed into a giant light and shadow that seemed to support heaven and earth.
This was the Ancient Sun God, whom Adam had conjured and materialized in the Sea of Ruins, with the aid of divine blood and the second "Blasphemy Slate"!
Unlike the Mystical Reenactment of the Mystery Pryer Pathway and the historical projection of the Seer Pathway, the Sequence 1 Worm of Time relies on a weakened version of the authority of time, which originates from the Lord of the Mysteries, King of Space-Time, to display past events in the form of images.
Although limited by Pallez's own Beyonder characteristics, the power manifested was far less than it was then, but it was also not something a Sequence 1 level Realm of Mysteries could bear.
The Concealment inherent in the Realm of Mysteries vanished with the shattering of the nascent Divine Kingdom. Zaratul, with a gloomy expression, silently looked at the messy mausoleum, unhesitatingly abandoned all his marionettes, stopped maintaining this projection, and his true form, hidden in the historical fog, suddenly stood up and ran frantically towards the deeper parts.
There was no need for divination; his own intuition and premonition made Zaratul clearly realize that the Blasphemer had arrived!
Above the collapsed ruins of the mausoleum, Amon, wearing a classical black robe and a pointed soft hat, quietly appeared, playing with a Worm of Spirit on the verge of collapse, and clicked his tongue as he watched the historical fog rapidly dissipate in the depths of the Spirit World:
"He runs really fast..."
He then adjusted his crystal monocle and looked at Pallez, whose expression was quite calm, the curve of his lips becoming even more pronounced.
-----------------
The collapse of the first mausoleum was swifter than expected. Detecting a loophole in the distorted rules originating from the Black Emperor, Aaron completely unleashed the power of the Nation of Disorder, usurping and replacing the order that originally belonged to William Augustus I. This caused the Hand of Order, who could have barely held on with the home advantage, to lose his reliance and fall into a dead end.
Maintaining a complete suppression of Beyonder characteristics and authority, Aaron, who was about to complete the final harvest, suddenly felt a pang in his heart. His mind was instantly filled with complex information, and his body became uncontrollably rigid.
In the depths of the still-standing mausoleum, a heavy black stone door suddenly opened, revealing a strange, misty and indistinct space hidden behind it. A phantom light composed of complex information leaped out, transforming into a black shadow with countless distinct black and white eyes splitting open.
This was the Hidden Sage, who had bypassed true vision detection and order perception by relying on his own authority of concealment and the Black Emperor's distorted concepts!
Behind him, the Chained God, whose body was wrapped in bandages, thorns, and roses, emerged from his hidden place. His right hand transformed into a dark, viscous liquid containing an unspeakable curse and malice, and as it reached forward, it solidified into a deep brown branch, like it was cast from petroleum, directly piercing towards Aaron's glabella.
The order capable of binding Angels rapidly disintegrated before the two Kings of Angels. Roselle, within the Nation of Disorder, unhesitatingly raised the "curtain" again, grafting the complex information infused by the Hidden Sage onto the already half-crippled William Augustus I, allowing Aaron to escape from his mental stagnation.
Feeling the source of his heart palpitations was already close at hand, Aaron gritted his teeth and did not choose to directly leave the mausoleum and return to the Nation of Disorder. After all, the Hidden Sage and the Chained God, whose surprise attack had failed, would certainly take William Augustus I, which would almost certainly cut off his possibility of advancing to Justiciar.
As his thoughts raced, the nascent Divine Kingdom, already merged with the Nation of Disorder, descended. Aaron took out Groselle's Travels, whose cover was filled with a Unshadowed Crucifix, which Adam had given him in the Garden of Eden after hunting Arioch, and placed it in front of him to block the deep brown branch containing a portion of the Mother Tree of Desire's blessing.
As feelings of extreme evil and extreme madness permeated, as if sensing the Outer God's corruption contained within, a cold pupil, deep black and covered in dark blue cracks, faintly appeared in the half-open bronze door behind the Unshadowed Crucifix on the cover.
At the same time, in the sky of Backlund, which was already approaching noon, the crimson Moon suddenly became prominent, gradually appearing as if stained with blood. In addition, the Brown Star, Orange Star, Red Star, Gold Star, Earth, etc., all brightened simultaneously, emitting light of different textures.
They swept across the Northern and Southern Continents, finally shining on the invisible barrier within the Astral World, illuminating all the distorted concepts there, making it impossible for any deity located there to escape.
