Ending Maker - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Tomorrow

So I made a mistake last episode. Only Jude became the guardian god of Pleiades, not Cordelia.

The halo of Solari rotated beautifully.

Her pink hair fluttered under the brilliant golden light radiated by the divinity of the sun, and her blue eyes resembling the sky stared at the world.

The Fairy Queen’s Dress was already in tatters.

It was torn everywhere and drenched in blood and sweat.

But no one noticed that.

The eight wide-open wings caught their attention.

The successor of Solari.

Another archangel was born in Pleiades.

She was not born perfectly.

Even if she inherited all the experiences of her past lives, it was impossible for a Seraph to be promoted to an Archangel at once.

But it was the reality.

And that only meant one thing.

“Solari.”

Cordelia fully inherited the power and will of Solari.

She inherited her divinity.

As a result, she was reborn as the new Archangel of the Sun.

Auriel realized this instinctively.

And because she did, she got angry again.

She perceived Cordelia’s succession as robbery.

“How far are you going to disgrace Solari?”

How much more are you going to steal from that child before you’re satisfied!

Her anger had become twisted.

But Auriel could not recognize that. The enraged archangel widely spread out her twelve light wings that let out an immense power.

It was really powerful.

A tremendous power that the newly born archangel, Cordelia, could not even compare to.

But Cordelia was not pushed back.

Although there was a significant difference just from the number of their wings, she was able to hold her ground even in front of Auriel’s wrath.

The one standing next to Cordelia.

The guardian god of Pleiades.

Jude released a black aura that received the wrath of Auriel at their front.

He did not allow her arrogant self-righteousness to harm Cordelia.

Ninth Heaven’s Nine Doors.

The nine worlds that represented all the worlds.

The purpose of Ninth Heaven’s Nine Doors was for those born as mortals to reach the limits of their species by opening the doors one by one, and to eventually overcome that limit and be reborn as a true transcendent.

As Landius pointed out in the past, it was a means for enlightenment rather than a martial art.

And that was why simply becoming stronger was not the key to opening the ninth door.

Even if he was born with Cheonmujiche, it was almost impossible for him to open the ninth door.

But Jude did it.

Just like Lucas who took one step at a time, he reached the horizon.

Just like the first Jude who never gave up despite the hardships.

“Will we ever meet again?”

“We will meet again.”

Said the second Jude and Cordelia.

The love between the two was not erased.

“I know. But even so, I…”

The third Jude accepted his end.

But he thought of the next Jude and Cordelia.

He dreamed of living with Cordelia someday and making her happy.

“It’s the same no matter how many times I’m born again. I’ll make sure that you-…”

The fourth Jude said.

The fifth Jude and Cordelia made a vow.

They did not give up and left only one wish, a wish for a single miracle.

“Till doomsday.”

Until doomsday.

They all pushed Jude’s back.

All of them led Jude to the front.

Beyond the horizon.

Beyond the limits.

To fulfill their one and only wish.

[My successor is a very persistent man.]

Valencia said.

Jude smiled and accepted her. He once again became one with the beautiful Elf Sword.

A sword was made from Jude’s fingertips.

The core of Sword Origin.

If he had to give it a name, it would be the Elven Sword Valencia.

The most beautiful swordsmanship in the world.

“I will not allow it anymore.”

You all disturb Pleiades as you like.

You all ravage Pleiades for your convenience.

The Golden Dragon King’s crest shined on the back of Jude’s hand.

He who protected the wild lands from afar was sending his strength.

“Archangel Auriel.”

The one who repeatedly destroyed Pleiades.

A being who was aware of that fact yet wanted to bring about the destruction of Pleiades again.

It was not a regression.

Her sins did not go away.

It was deeply engraved on the world called Pleiades.

“Worthless bugs!”

Auriel roared in anger.

She could only see the beings of Pleiades as such.

It was impossible for her to have the same view as Solari.

“I will judge you!”

Auriel raised the Judgment Sword. She caused a huge golden ripple and charged towards Jude.

Jude ran to face Auriel.

He cut the ripple with Elven Sword Valencia and summoned black dragons in the air. Nine black dragons flew towards Auriel.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Auriel cut down the black dragons.

Her twelve wings of light shook the place, and the Judgment Sword that was swung seemed to tear apart the world itself.

Jude saw it.

The moment the nine black dragons were destroyed, he lightly kicked the ground.

Thirty-Six World Steps.

He understood the direction.

Twenty-Four Gale Steps.

He understood the distance.

Twelve Thunderbolt Steps.

After erasing the direction and the distance, he realized in the end that the only things left were the starting point and the ending point.

And one last step.

Nine Celestial Steps.

He understood the world.

Jude disappeared.

He appeared behind Auriel.

It was a space leap that even transcended the spell.

It was as if the Fairy Steps was used without any restrictions.

Auriel quickly turned and swung the Judgment Sword.

Like the sword of a being who was born and lived in the horizon, her swordsmanship was excellent.

But Jude could tell.

Because he looked beyond the horizon, he was able to fully understand even the sword of a being standing on the horizon.

If he would dare name it, it would be the Absolute Truth of the Sword.

Elven Sword Valencia drew a beautiful trajectory.

That alone turned Auriel’s attack into nothing.

It was only one move, but Auriel could understand at that moment.

Defeating Jude was impossible with swordsmanship.

She had to use a different method.

Unlike Auriel herself, Jude was an amateur god who had just been born, so he was inexperienced in all fields except for swordsmanship.

So she had to fight with something other than swordsmanship.

She had to defeat the guardian god of Pleiades with that significant difference!

Babababababababang-!

Auriel’s wings of light shined again. It released an immense amount of divine power and pushed Jude away as the twelve wings of light emitted different powers at the same time.

Jude saw it. He summoned black dragons from all sides of Auriel and made them attack while he concentrated.

Every time Auriel’s divine powers attacked him, he used the Nine Celestial Steps.

It broke, crushed, and destroyed.

It collapsed matter.

It annihilated space.

It brought the divine punishment of lightning and insulated space.

Every time a divine power of hers manifested, the world shook.

Pleiades itself seemed to scream.

Cordelia saw all of that.

But instead of charging with a storm of light towards Auriel’s back, she used the divinity of the sun.

It was the first time she truly used that divine power, but Cordelia was Cordelia. She manipulated her power with her instinct and senses to achieve what she wanted.

The elixir given to Jude by Count Chase.

It could heal any wounds and injuries at least once.

She used it as a catalyst.

The light of the sun radiated by the eight wings of light that she widely spread contained the power of the elixir. She brought to life again those who were on the verge of death.

“Cough!”

Scarlet threw up blood.

And she continued to breathe. She spit out curses as she pulled out the Judgment Sword in her sword, but she did not die.

Having also received Cordelia’s light, Kajsa held back her groan and stood up.

Adelaide raised her head.

Red Wind sobbed as she watched Sun Song begin to breathe again.

The sun’s light reached far.

Those who still had the energy of life, even those with a little, were raised up again.

“You trash!”

Auriel felt the energy of life that began to fill the capital again, and covered the place with her feathers of light.

She summoned the angels and tried to take their lives again.

The angels who had already been summoned gathered around Auriel.

Cordelia saw it too.

And she did not allow it this time.

“Is that love!”

Isn’t this just revenge?

It’s the world that Solari loved.

These are the people whom Solari wanted to protect.

You are trying to destroy all of them now.

You’re trampling on what Solari had accomplished when she sacrificed her own life!

That’s not love.

That’s obsession.

You’re judging Solari with your self-righteousness and dogmatism, denying all the things she had done.

You’re forcing your own justice by disparaging it, saying it is worthless.

Solari does not want this.

She…

She loved everyone…

“What do you know!”

Auriel angrily shouted.

Out of all the archangels that had been born since Heaven began, the outburst of anger of the one who had lived the longest was truly immense.

A part of the place was twisted and destroyed by her anger alone.

The world itself, and not the sky and earth, seemed to scream.

“Why… Why did that child!”

I wish that she hadn’t paid attention to such a world.

I wish that she wasn’t sympathetic to whether these trash were dying or not.

Why?

Why?

That child!

“Because that was Solari’s choice!”

Cordelia spread her wings. She rotated Solari’s halo and glared at Auriel. Instead of having a meaningless argument, she likewise released her anger.

“What do you think of people?”

The thousands of beings living in Pleiades.

Each of them had countless stories that were as many as the stars in the sky.

You trampled all of them many times.

You denied everyone from living many times.

I cannot allow it anymore.

I cannot tolerate anymore all that you have done.

“Hit! Hit! Hit it!”

There was a storm of light.

144,000 magic spheres covered the sky, swirling and swallowing up the angels and Auriel.

And Cordelia did not stop there.

She ordered as an archangel.

As a contractor, she demanded the implementation of the contract.

“Spirit King Punch!”

The sky split.

The blood-red sky was split, and the Spirit King of Storms and Lightning appeared.

Accompanied by lightning and thunder, the golden giant burst into laughter.

He sent his huge, gigantic fist towards the middle of the storm of light.

Boooooooooooom!

Light covered the world.

The noise filled the place.

Massive explosions and collisions shook the entire imperial capital.

“EUAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Auriel screamed.

The angels who numbered in the hundreds and almost reached a thousand were all annihilated by the storm of light and explosions.

The archangel who stood with the Judgment Sword fell to her knees for the first time.

But she did not surrender.

Even though Auriel exhausted a lot of power in her movement between worlds, she was the strongest of the archangels in Heaven.

She was a goddess from Heaven who had lived for the longest time.

She raised her Judgment Sword, glaring at the Spirit King of Storms and Lightning.

She summoned a huge Judgment Sword from beyond the blood-red sky.

Boooom!

A huge sword of light shot downwards to the Spirit King.

The Spirit King fiercely smiled and received the sword of light. He exploded himself, destroying the Judgment Sword that Auriel had summoned from the sky.

Boobooboobooboom!

There were several huge explosions in the sky of the imperial capital.

The Judgment Sword shattered into hundreds of pieces and fell like a meteor shower.

Seeing that, Auriel madly laughed.

The crazy goddess from Heaven took a deep breath and stood up.

Her cause had long disappeared from her mind.

To bring history back to its normal course.

To punish the young goddess Atalia who played around with the fate of Heaven.

To create a battlefield for fighting the demons of Hell.

She had stopped thinking.

She was already broken.

The being here now was not the Archangel of Judgment.

She was a goddess of destruction that only revealed her blind hatred.

Jude once again used the Nine Celestial Steps.

For a moment, he thought while pushing Auriel with the Absolute Truth of the Sword.

He needed time.

Auriel had been cultivating her divinity far longer than Jude and Cordelia.

In a simple war of attrition, his side would lose first.

So he needed time.

Time to prepare a single move to defeat Auriel.

But who in the world could stop a mad goddess?

Could anyone intervene in this battle that had already become a fierce fight between gods?

“A steel mind, an indomitable will, and an invincible body.”

He heard a gallant voice.

There was a man with a mortal body who dared to enter the fight between gods.

He wildly smiled.

He raised the sword of the sun goddess as he watched the enemies of the world.

The Solar Blade.

A proof that Solari loved this world.

A symbol of her wanting to protect everyone in Pleiades to the very end.

“UOOOOOOO!”

Landius released the power of the Supreme Sun Divine Art.

He attacked Auriel with the Trailblazer Sword.

“You trash!”

Auriel could not ignore the existence of Landius.

The power of the sun contained in the Trailblazer Sword could not be taken lightly.

Baaang!

The Trailblazer Sword and Judgment Sword collided.

In the aftermath of the clash alone, the place was turned upside down and the body of Landius as he held the Solar Blade was hurt.

But Landius did not back down. Rather, he even pushed Auriel for some time.

And there were those who stood up together.

Claíomh Solais shone from Lucas’ hand.

Kamael unfolded the Fifth Snow Flower of the Twelve Snowflake Sword Art.

Fran sang with his voice to boost everyone’s strength while Velkian interrupted Auriel with his Death magic.

And Lena stretched out her hand. She supported Landius’ back. She strengthened his broken body.

Auriel could not understand the current situation.

She was bewildered by the appearance of an invincible mortal.

She looked at Landius over the Judgment Sword, and unconsciously widened her eyes.

The sun was rising.

Behind Landius, the rising sun was driving away the blood-red sky and lighting up the world.

It was Cordelia.

She exuded the divinity of the sun.

All despair and darkness were finally removed when the sun was summoned to this world.

Jude held Cordelia’s hand.

And he understood.

The reason why his own sun was pitch black.

The reason why he was able to fully master Kamael’s Twelve Snowflake Sword Art despite being able to use the power of the sun.

Extreme Yin energy.

That was the power that Jude himself was born with.

Therefore, Jude prepared everything as the guardian god of Pleiades.

Instead of forcibly using the power of the Black Sun, he awakened his true power.

The Black Moon.

Jude’s own power was paired with Cordelia who held a Golden Sun with extreme Yang power.

The power of the sun and moon became one through their interlocked fingers.

The extreme Yang energy and extreme Yin energy became one, creating an endless power.

Auriel felt that power.

With all her might, she pushed Landius away. After spreading out her wings of light and blowing away all mortals around her, she saw Jude and Cordelia.

The sun and moon.

Just before it was completed at the fingertips of the two, the Judgment Sword was swung towards it!

Rattle!

But she could not do it.

In that instant, a chain wrapped around Auriel’s arm. Someone dared to hinder a goddess from moving.

Kajsa and Scarlet were holding the chain together. Red Wind wrapped the chain with the power of the Phoenix, allowing the archangel to be held back for a while.

“Shoot!”

Lucas shouted and unfolded the Holy King’s Cross Sword. He cut off the power of Auriel flowing along the chain and exploded it at the same time.

And right after that.

Right after that moment.

Auriel looked ahead of her.

She saw Jude and Cordelia.

From the tightly clasped fingers of the two, she witnessed the two extreme energies becoming one and being reborn as the Power of Annihilation.

Auriel belatedly sent her ripples.

The Power of Annihilation was too great. Even Jude and Cordelia who were powering it were also struggling hard.

So she could twist it.

She could cause them to mess up and self-destruct.

The ripples hit Jude and Cordelia.

But Jude and Cordelia did not fall. They relied on each other and endured the Power of Annihilation.

No, it was not just the two of them.

The first Jude smiled.

The second Jude and Cordelia happily laughed.

Everyone in their past lives supported Jude and Cordelia’s backs.

Crack!

The Fairy King’s necklaces hanging around their necks broke at the same time.

Having received the ripples and the Power of Annihilation in their stead, it broke and scattered. But there were ripples heading towards them again.

Jude and Cordelia did not stop.

The Power of Annihilation created from the fingertips of the two became a giant sphere of light and rushed forward!

“UOOOOOOOO!”

All the moments that led to the two being together now.

The miracle they could create because they never gave up!

“Go!”

Landius exclaimed.

Everyone including Landius prayed together.

Babababababang-!

The light of the Power of Annihilation destroyed the ripples. It went wild and devoured Auriel’s bright wings that spread out as she desperately struggled.

To prevent destruction.

To obtain a tomorrow that is different from yesterday.

The light of the Power of Annihilation engulfed Auriel.

It led to a new future.
