That's it.
The whole world stood still.
The collapsing sky froze.
The land, which was being rebuilt, came to a halt.
The distorted laws of space seemed to have been paused, freezing in place.
The "Paradise Lost" formation, capable of devouring everything, abruptly stopped at the very last moment before its completion.
Uriel's ecstatic expression froze.
The pity on Gabriel's face turned into incomprehensible astonishment.
How can it be?
Zhou Ye looked at them and finally smiled.
It was a smile that showed he had seen through all the tricks and found them utterly boring.
"Use my power to seal me? Have you forgotten how I just sealed off Heaven?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in every corner.
“You know nothing about the concept of power.”
The words fell.
Zhou Ye raised his right hand and gently clenched it towards this frozen world, which was about to turn into a cage.
Click.
It was a crisp sound, like the sound of glass shattering.
Centered on him, dark cracks appeared out of thin air.
Snap! Snap, snap!
The cracks spread wildly at an exponential rate, instantly covering the entire "Paradise Lost" array!
The ultimate seal, constructed by the sacrifice of the entire Heavenly Dimension, crumbled like a mirror struck by a giant hammer under Zhou Ye's casual grasp.
Shattered!
"puff--!"
Uriel and Gabriel were struck head-on by an invisible hammer.
Both of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of golden divine blood, their bodies collapsing to the ground like puppets with broken strings, completely losing consciousness.
The so-called last resort is nothing but a joke in the face of absolute power.
Heaven was completely silent.
All resistance was reduced to nothingness.
Nami and Saeko Busujima walked up behind Zhou Ye, their faces showing no joy of victory, only a sense of entitlement and calm.
Zhou Ye looked down at the devastated ruins below, and at the three Seraphim prostrate on the ground. He was about to speak and announce the new ownership of this land.
at this time.
Hum——!
An unprecedented, vast and ancient hum resounded from the very core of the highest heavens, echoing throughout the entire dimension.
That was the voice emitted by the SacredSystem itself.
Followed by.
A gentle, ancient, weary yet imbued with supreme divine power feminine will slowly awakens from the system.
Her will resonated directly in everyone's minds.
"Please...stop."
"My child, you have done your best."
The God of the Bible.
He's awake.
Chapter 219 The Awakening of God, The Belonging of Heaven
That ancient and weary female will echoed above the ruins.
Throughout the entire Heavenly Dimension, all the remaining consciousness heard that request at that moment.
"My children, you have done your best."
The words fell.
From the very core of the highest heaven, from the sacred system that sustains the entire heaven, a gentle ray of light, like the dawn of creation, slowly rises.
This ray of light is neither dazzling nor scorching.
It dispelled the purplish-black and deathly silence brought by the Honkai energy, soothed the hideous wounds of the torn space, and allowed this ravaged land to be bathed in a warm and compassionate atmosphere once again.
Light converges.
Not far in front of Zhou Ye, it coalesced into a concrete image.
That's a woman.
She stood barefoot in the void, wearing a pure white dress that fluttered even without wind.
Her eyes were closed, her face was exquisitely beautiful, yet without any seductive charm, only a maternal radiance that encompassed all things.
She is not the majestic father god of legend, but a goddess.
The moment I saw her appear.
Uriel collapsed to the ground, his body trembling violently. With his last ounce of strength, he struggled to kneel, but could only weakly extend his hand. Two streams of golden tears rolled down his pale face.
Michael, whose body had been severed and was being eroded by the Honkai energy, had his remaining consciousness awakened from the abyss of pain. He struggled to raise his head and looked at that figure. The holy flames that had long been extinguished turned into silent sobs.
Gabriel, standing in the distance, was sobbing uncontrollably.
"My lord!"
"You...you"
At this moment, the three seraphim abandoned all dignity and pride, like three children who had suffered injustice and were finally seeing their parents.
"After beating the young one, the old one comes."
Zhou Ye stood there, hands in his pockets, and muttered a sarcastic remark without any emotional reaction.
"This routine really hasn't changed in ages."
Nami and Saeko Busujima stood guard on either side of him, their expressions wary.
They could sense that the power contained within this woman was on a completely different level from that of the three seraphim from before.
The goddess in the white dress slowly opened her eyes.
What kind of eyes were those?
Ancient, compassionate, and filled with the weariness of having seen through eternity.
Her gaze didn't linger on her three weeping children, but instead fell directly on Zhou Ye. Her appearance reminded Zhou Ye of his king, Artoria Pendragon; the world's holy god actually had a Takeuchi-like face.
"A powerful outsider."
She spoke, without questioning, without anger, only with a calm statement of facts.
"You are strong."
"But you may not know that what you just did was more of a salvation than a destruction."
Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow but didn't reply, waiting for her to continue.
The goddess continued, "Everyone outside believes that I perished in the ancient war. But in reality, I am merely suffering irreversible damage and am on the verge of death."
"In order to prevent Heaven from collapsing, and to provide a place for my children to live, I merged my last essence with the entire divine system and fell into an endless slumber."
When she revealed this shocking secret, both Uriel and Gabriel were stunned.
"However, during my long slumber, a transcendent being who did not belong here—Indra—tampered with the foundation of the system. Like an ineradicable virus, it constantly eroded my origin, wanting to completely devour me and turn the entire Heaven into its breeding ground."
"I can feel it, but I can't wake up. I can only watch helplessly as everything decays in an endless nightmare."
A complex, almost self-deprecating, bitter smile appeared on the goddess's face.
"Until you show up."
"Your power called Honkai is domineering, pure, and full of destructive will. Its fierce impact on Heaven is like a potent medicine to me, fighting poison with poison."
"It was your attack that shattered the layers of shackles laid down by Indra, along with my stagnant foundation."
"It was you who woke me from that eternal nightmare."
She nodded slightly to Zhou Ye to express her gratitude.
After listening, Zhou Ye finally understood.
After all that, I ended up unintentionally cleaning up someone else's house?
"So?" Zhou Ye asked, "Now that you're awake, are you planning to continue fighting and avenge your children?"
"revenge?"
The God of the Bible gently shook his head.
She glanced at her three children, who had completely lost their fighting ability, then at Zhou Ye, and the two women behind him whose auras were equally unfathomable.
She knows better than anyone.
The old era has ended.
With only her remnant soul recovering from severe injuries and these innocent children, she was no match for the "Transcendent One" lurking in the shadows.
Not to mention, the man before us is capable of tearing heaven apart with his bare hands and ushering in a new era.
"Do not."
