The Titan Altera sneered, "Is that all?"
In her hand, a radiant whip tens of thousands of meters long suddenly materialized, lashing toward the group.
It possessed the terrifying power to nullify all enemy defenses.
Against such a fearsome attack.
Mash’s Camelot walls could not hold firm.
Fissures spread across the fortress, shattering it completely.
Souma urgently shouted, "Mash, withdraw it now!"
[Divine Whip] specialized in countering defenses—it was impossible to resist it with defense alone.
If the fortress were shattered by that whip, Mash would suffer severe injuries, possibly even fatal ones!
"If I withdraw my defense, you’ll all be hurt!" Mash’s face paled, yet she showed no sign of relenting.
The most dreadful weapon of war, the Alien God’s Apostle, seized the opportunity.
Swinging the [Sword of Mars], it delivered another devastating slash.
Qin Shi Huang had to protect all of China.
Once the Camelot walls were destroyed, no one would remain to stand against it!
This strike would annihilate not only the shield-bearing girl but also the heroic spirits sheltered within.
In this critical moment.
Souma brandished [Excalibur], unleashing a brilliant radiance as he slashed toward the Alien God’s Apostle.
Countless spectators witnessing this scene erupted in excitement.
Back when the Alien God’s Apostle descended as Sefar, it had been slain by his sword in a single strike!
By unleashing the true power of the Sword of Promised Victory, he could instantly resolve this world-ending crisis.
Faced with the attack of the holy sword, the Titan Altera abruptly retreated.
As she stepped back, she chuckled, "Nameless, so you never received the blessing of the planet’s will, [Gaia]!"
This strike was merely an ordinary Noble Phantasm of a heroic spirit—it contained none of the planet’s primordial power!
That was her true natural enemy!
Meaning, this attack was nothing but a bluff, incapable of harming her.
After a brief moment of analysis...
The Giant God Atilla finally realized why she hadn’t sensed any repulsive force after descending to Earth.
It turned out that the so-called planetary consciousness had completely fallen into slumber, utterly failing to awaken!
The Giant God Atilla laughed: "So this is it. Your planet’s consciousness has long merged with the Evils of Humanity, making it impossible to favor humans at all!"
This single sentence instantly crushed the hopes of countless viewers watching—
-[Case solved! The truth behind Nameless restarting the world was actually that the Demon King Goetia became Gaia!]
-[This is too despairing. How could the Demon King actually succeed?]
-[So how did Nameless defeat him in that battle back then?]
-[The problem is, without the planetary origin provided by Gaia, there’s no way to counter the Umbral Star’s vanguard!]
Previously, countless people had speculated whether the Demon King Goetia had succeeded in becoming the planetary consciousness Gaia when he ignited humanity.
If he hadn’t succeeded, Nameless wouldn’t have needed to restart the world.
The words of the Umbral Star’s vanguard completely revealed the truth.
The Demon King Goetia had truly replaced the planetary consciousness [Gaia], becoming an invincible existence!
As long as humans lived on this Earth, there was no way to eliminate him!
Without [Gaia’s] assistance, the Star Holy Sword couldn’t counter the Umbral Star’s vanguard at all.
Those who had initially rejoiced at seeing the Star Holy Sword now fell into shock and despair.
So how could they possibly defeat their enemy?
Merlin, watching the live broadcast, murmured softly: "The Umbral Star’s vanguard grows stronger by devouring civilizations. This means that as long as the battle takes place on Earth, the enemy grows stronger every moment!"
"Uh, doesn’t that mean we’re doomed?" Tamamo-no-Mae said incredulously.
This enemy seemed even more terrifying than her, an Evil of Humanity.
As an Evil of Humanity, she grew stronger as human civilization advanced.
But this enemy directly devoured civilizations!
Let’s not forget that Sefar, the Umbral Star’s vanguard that nearly destroyed Earth before, was merely a creation of this being.
After ten thousand years of devouring and growing, it had easily defeated the gods of Uruk, Greece, and other pantheons!
Once it devoured all humans and gods, it could truly destroy the planet!
"It’s simple. Civilization originates from living beings. Therefore, fighting in a place without living beings would allow us to defeat it!" Merlin revealed a smile.
"You mean like in the previous [Absolute Demonic Front], dragging it into the underworld?"
Tamamo-no-Mae struggled to understand, "But the problem is, gods exist in the reverse side of the world and can’t connect to the surface world!"
Nameless, the King of Heroes, Ereshkigal and others had worked together to drag the Evil of Humanity Tiamat into the underworld. Discover more novels at novel•fire.net
Only with Grand Assassin King Hassan’s intervention was true death bestowed upon her.
This was the Age of Man—gods couldn’t manifest, let alone drag the enemy into the underworld.
Merlin wore a mysterious smile: "For example, opening a door."
Tamamo-no-Mae glared at him angrily.
This damn peeping tom, using his clairvoyance to spy across the entire planet, really did know countless secrets.
Despite knowing so much, he always spoke in riddles instead of explaining clearly.
She absolutely hated two types of people—
Those who only spoke half their thoughts!
This trashy incubus deserved to be drowned in feminizing potion by Nameless!
Riddlers get out of Fuyuki City!
"Just keep watching and you’ll understand."
Merlin shook his head, not intending to explain.
That bastard Nameless truly possessed far more charm than this fox.
Even the spokesperson of an evil god could be charmed—his abilities were absurdly overpowered!
Under Tamamo-no-Mae’s curious gaze.
Facing the taunts of the Star-Spangled Banner.
Souma calmly drew his sword and pointed it at his opponent. "Oh? So what?"
From the very beginning.
He had never intended to rely on Gaia’s favor.
Without expectations, there would be no despair.
Souma suddenly lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Enkidu, I’ll have to trouble you again."
With those words, the Chains of Heaven—Enkidu—appeared before everyone’s eyes.
His long green hair fluttered in the wind, his beautiful eyes filled with determination. "Leave everything to me!"
Behind him, golden chains surged forth wildly.
The terrifying Chains of Heaven, capable of binding the Evils of Humanity, unleashed their full power in this moment.
"Mother Goddess, grant me your strength!"
Countless chains manifested around Enkidu. "The wrath of the mother is now but a fleeting memory. What awakens now is the breath of the stars—"
[O’ humanity, bind the gods—Enuma Elish!!!]
In the previous Singularity.
Kingu had exhausted his life and soul to unleash the true power of the Chains of Heaven, successfully restraining the Primordial Mother Goddess.
The once-furious Mother Goddess had become their strongest ally.
With the vast magical energy bestowed by the Mother Goddess, Enkidu could unleash transcendent power beyond his limits without restraint.
Golden chains transformed into colossal golden dragons, coiling around the massive, kilometer-long body of the Star-Hunting Titan in layer upon layer.
"Release me!" the giant Atilla roared.
No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t tear them apart.
The Chains of Heaven—power surpassing all limits—even the Star-Hunting Titan couldn’t break free in an instant!
"Star-Hunting Titan Atilla, look! We stand right beside you, yet you cannot advance a single step!"
Gilgamesh burst into laughter. "Does it frustrate you? Good. My dearest friend once bound the Primordial Mother Goddess herself. A mere enemy of civilization like you is nothing in comparison!"
Back in the Singularity, he had twice watched his closest friend depart before his eyes.
Once, when Nameless and Enkidu severed the connection between man and god.
Once, during the battle against the Primordial Mother Goddess.
Fortunately, none of them had truly perished.
Now, descending once more into this radiant Age of Heroes, fighting side by side again,
he could mock his foe without restraint.
The audience watched with mixed emotions—
-[Who remembers the Hero King weeping alone in the rain earlier...]
-[Ahem, somehow this feels like a bully reveling in borrowed power.]
-[What nonsense! This is righteous teamwork—exactly how they should fight together!]
-[The Chains of Heaven imprisoning the Star-Hunting Titan, the Hero King’s taunts... Then and now, how eerily similar they seem?]
