The Sun - Lord of Mysteries (fanfiction) - Chapter 153: Eternal Death

In the astral world, Aucuses walked forward, his golden spear in hand, streaking with cataclysmic thunder.

“It is time to end your ridiculous story, Alitsa Tudor.” His indifferent voice boomed across the battlefield, as lightning cracked in the space. A tyrannical aura erupted from him, sweeping towards the Blood Emperor, Alitsa Tudor.

Alitsa Tudor grabbed his sword tightly, his eyes eroding in madness and resolution. He declared it without any fear or hesitation. “Even if I am going to die! I shall drag you all to the grave with me!”

Crimson streaks of fire exploded from him, forming an inferno large enough to incinerate planets in turns. The fabric of reality burned away in the embers of crimson.

Alitsa Tudor emerged from the inferno, his body drenched in crimson blood, his eyes ablaze in the red inferno of flame. His aura cataclysmic, shattering reality.

He pointed his blazing sword at the Aucuses, Lilith, and Badhiel, his lips raising to smile, a smile that spoke volumes of madness. For a moment, his cataclysmic aura even managed to dwarf the three of them.

He opened his mouth as if to declare more, but he suddenly froze, his infernal eyes widening.

He looked down. A dark brown wooden staff had pierced through his heart, creating a scene of deep autumn filled with withering flowers, trees, and mushrooms.

Alitsa slowly turned his head and looked at Earth Mother, who had a gentle expression. He asked in pain as the crimson fire in his eyes dimmed. “How?…”

In the realms beyond, Trunsoest and Solomon faced each other, their spectre and scale held high in the midst of the ever-changing realities. Disorder and order are still pitted against each other, with neither side appearing to gain an advantage.

Trunsoest, the Night Emperor, slightly waved his hands at reality. In between them, a gigantic luminescent tree emerged, dwarfing everything.

The Elden Tree.

At the sight of the tree, Solomon, the Black Emperor, grabbed his spectre so tight, his knuckles went white.

The Elden Tree emitted a shimmer of golden light, sweeping the ever-changing reality. The shimmer was woven with innumerable laws and rules of order, which annihilated all of the disorder in reality in an instant. The disorder tried to fight back; however, the attempts were completely futile after some resistance. The combined authorities of order in the Elden tree erased it from the fabric of reality. It was total suppression.

Absolute order was established. The ever-changing reality settled down.

The golden blazing sun gleamed brightly, brightly illuminating a magnificent and colossal city with structures that seemed to reach the sky and people that seemed ever content. It was a utopia, an orderly utopia.

In the midst of it all, Solomon and Trunsoest still faced each other, though Solomon’s figure was quivering, becoming illusory and ethereal by the moment.

Under the light of the golden sun, Trunsoest walked towards the fading Black Emperor, his footsteps resounding across the orderly utopia.

He finally stood before Solomon, whispering silently.

“You lost.”

“I never had the chance to begin with, am I?” Solomon laughed self-deprecatingly, peering down at his illusory figure.

Trunsoest was silent, his clothed eyes facing Solomon with an air of indifference and superiority shrouding him.

“This was all a delusion from the beginning…” Solomon muttered in a hoarse voice, his voice becoming lower with each word, almost a whisper.

After some silence, he finally looked at the blindfolded Trunsoest.

“I lost.” He admitted it, his head raised high.

Then, Solomon threw his spectre to the ground, causing it to shatter into countless resplendent fragments.

He finally said, his resolute gaze fixed on Trunsoest. “Kill me, Trunsoest.”

“Farewell, my emperor.” Trunsoest wishphered. The golden scale in his hand emitted a sheen of ethereal light, illuminating Solomon.

Solomon looked up at the bright sky and heaved a long sigh. His black eyes were dimming and his figure crumbled away in black shimmering particles.

He finally smiled and closed his eyes. Under the illumination of light, he faded away into the obscurity of time.

In the end, the proud and valiant Emperor died with Honour.

Trunsoest looked on in silence. The white blindfold fell from his head, revealing his heavy eyes. He walked ahead, crouching down and picking up the black crown from the ground with the three sequence-1 characteristics.

He stood up, his hand clasped tightly against the crown, while he put away the three characteristics into his kingdom.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the entire orderly utopia rumbled, collapsing and disintegrating. The elden tree dimmed visibly with branches and leaves withering away in eternal death.

Trunsoest turned immediately and was immediately engulfed by a tsunami of still darkness, emitting an aura of repose and tranquillity before he could even react.

Everything was sinking into darkness, eternal darkness.

A minute earlier.

“How?..” Alitsa grunted in pain, looking at the floating Earth Mother. Then, he saw that she was not only surrounded by the autumn but also waning darkness.

Earth Mother had never left the concealment!

He jerked his head towards them, only to witness the Earth Mother’s figure, which stood near Badhiel, fade in light particles. It was a projection made out of the authority of life, light, and order, allowing it to appear no different from the real body under the combined authorities. Thus successful fooling the Mad Alitsa Tudor, Blood Emperor.

Aucuses smirked, “As I just said, it is time to end your pathetic and ridiculous story, Alti…”

The Sun God’s smile suddenly froze, his eyes darting towards Lilith. Without any warning or hesitation, the Eternal Blazing Sun actually hurdled his spear at his love, stunning everyone on the battlefield.

The sun spear transformed into a blot of white lightning, surging with infinite power. In a fraction of a second, the tyrannical blot hit the still dazed Lilith, erupting in brilliance.

Divine blood spilled across the astral world blooming with life as wounded Lilith rolled towards Herabergan, far away from their battlefield.

Badhiel looked on in astonishment. However, his eyes immediately narrowed in alarm at the withering figure of Alitsa Tudor. In the place where Lilith stood, an ethereal darkness was now present. A bone hand extended out, shrouded in pale flames, stabbing into Alitsa, killing him in eternal death.

Badhiel felt a tinge in his eyes as he stared into the ethereal darkness. The suppressed primordial will within him surged immediately. A shiver ran down his spine as he began to resist the instinct of convergence with all his might.

The worst possible situation became a reality. It was a river of eternal darkness. Salinger is able to draw power from the Sefirot.

“Salinger!” The roar of Aucuses sounded, shattering the pressure on him. Aucuses who had always been calm and indifferent since he became a god, now radiated sheer and utter rage.

“Don’t let Salinger get his hands on the uniqueness of the Red priest!” Aucuses bellowed, his voice booming across the astral and material world.

Badhiel immediately remembered the connection between the eternal darkness and the calamity of destruction. Their pathways are actually interchangeable.

Does Salinger want to…?

His orange eyes darkened in the waning twilight.
