Chapter 711: Chapter 253 Devouring the Sun

Like a middle line, dividing yin and yang.

Atop the Primordial Water, the world seemed bisected as if cleaved in twain, one half filled with boundless Light, igniting an undying golden blaze; the other half plummeted into Darkness, void of even a glimmer of light.

Day and night appeared to be born from the same sky; witnessing this scene, Amon-Ra felt truly astonished.

Without moving, he achieved this feat in a form akin to ‘word spirit’; if he hadn’t devoured the power of the Absolute Void, then he, solely as the God of the Sun, would likely be powerless against his opponent’s full force, just like the scene before him.

And were it not for the world’s favor that came with the successive fall of the Nine Pillar Gods, he, as Amon-Ra-Atum, would still struggle to contend with the other.

After all, it was only due to the grand invasion from the Alien Realm that Ra could fully master the masculine symbol of the Eight Primordial Spirits—’Amon’, thereby eroding the feminine symbol ‘Amaunet’.

Before that, a mere reincarnation was far from sufficient for him to replace the true Eight Primordial Spirits.

“Huh… but there are no ‘what ifs’ in reality…”

“The most important aspect of Godhood is ‘purity’. Atum did not understand this principle, which is why he perished. I understood it, which is why I only retained the Sun, and then ruled this world until this day.”

“Now, it’s time for my third decision.”

Having been silent for a long time, Amon-Ra took a step forward with a slight sigh.

The entire Void trembled with his breath; as the power from the Otherworld retreated, the Sun waged war within the Mortal Realm—the Divine King Hemenu seemed ready to unleash his full strength.

In an instant, Amon’s unique Divine Authority was revealed in this world for the first time—a Divine Authority never seen before, even in the Chaos World, and one of the keystones of existence.

The underlying Order of all things began to be erased layer by layer; even the ‘existence’ of the Divine Incarnations seemed unstable.

This is the Absolute Void, the ‘something’ born from the ‘nothing’ beyond the world, and the corresponding ‘nothing’ to all ‘something’ within the world. Anything not recognized by it is false and nonexistent; whatever it denies will lose its foundation for existence in this world.

In a moment, as if roles were inverted and strength exchanged, the seat of the Divine became obscured.

But soon, under Ra’s gaze, the obscurity ceased. A force of Eternal Recurrence spontaneously encircled the Outer God, warding off his assault.

“Heh… as expected.”

His expression changed slightly, as if shocked and angered by the enemy’s strength, yet in reality, there was no surprise in his heart.

He hadn’t truly used all his power; in fact, at this moment, Ra only wielded the strength he possessed at the beginning.

He hadn’t tapped into the world’s favor granted through the fall of the Nine Pillars Spirit. At this point, Ra no longer wished to prevent the Other God from destroying the Sun.

The Sun of Hemenu was the true pillar of the world, holding Divine Authority over ‘rebirth’, ‘light’, ‘fire’, ‘celestial body’, and ‘omniscience’—the result of their unification, and the single power beyond the scope of the Eight Primordial Spirits that ranked above the True God.

It was so vital, so powerful—that only with its Destruction would Hemenu truly reach the end of the road, pouring even more strength into Ra.

Reluctant to let it go? Somewhat.

After all, in terms of the versatility of Divine Authority, none among the Chaotic Gods could match Egypt’s ‘Sun’ in omnipotence.

But when the moment came to make a decision, Ra was resolute!

“Enough of this!”

Boom—

Thought did not impede action; heaven and earth cooperated. When Amon-Ra above the Primordial Water exerted force, the Sun shone forth once more.

Endless divine light pursued the Darkness, as if intent on expelling the Outer God’s presence from the Mortal Realm.

The earth seemed unable to bear such force, fissures emerging across its surface; the churning Nile River beat against its shores, its crimson waters portending ill omens.

Ra’s movements were ruthless, yet the disparity in strength made it hard to turn the tide.

His inner strength surged, yet his outward show of power remained unchanged. He didn’t want to stop the Outer God now, but he couldn’t not act.

To watch the other half of the Sun falter without reaction would be the greatest absurdity. So Ra could only perform the most standard response, striking at the Outer God ‘with fury’.

Boom—!

The position of the Sun began to shift, hurtling towards the region shrouded in Darkness.

And before its moving trajectory, all matter turned to dust.

“I’ve nearly grasped the extent of your power.”

“This is the Alien Realm… but caution is needed most when success is near. No fish should slip through the net before the final battle.”

With a glint in his eyes, Ra glanced downward.

He naturally wasn’t observing Isis; when all was over, he would personally end the life of the traitor, but at least for now, she had no qualification to affect the Great Divine Power.

He was watching the hidden Void at the world’s backside—the gradually breaking chains.

Apep, the Ancient Serpent, the embodiment of Destruction. It must be said that in most mythological tales, serpents often play some negative, terrifying role.

And in the world of Hemenu, Apep was such an existence. Perhaps it was the world’s inherent frailty that prevented Order from completely ruling; the Demon God born at the dawn of Creation was eternal, bringing endless troubles to two generations of Sun gods.
