Chapter 357: Star, the Planet Celestial (7)







The sudden white night phenomenon turned the world upside down. The second sun could be seen not only from a Mongolian plain but everywhere on Earth. The second sun was even observed to be larger than the actual sun in some parts of the world.

―Banya: Have you seen it?

―D00385: What the hell is that? Is that a sign from heaven not to leave work and just keep working today?

└I thought I was going to get PTSD when I looked at it.

└Wow... is it a new lighthouse or something?

└From what I heard, since the United State’s timezone is opposite from us, everyone woke up in the middle of the night because they thought a missile had struck them. Hahahahaha.

└Do you seriously think this is a laughing matter? I would have also jumped out of my skin.

―T.T.T.T: That second sun is basically a huge ball of light that can be seen from everywhere in the world, so how can it not be hot?

└That is why it’s called a god’s miracle.

└Look. This is the difference in levels between you and a god.[1]

―Knowit: The White Tiger Clan seems to be telling the truth. My acquaintances who changed their Guardian to ‘Divine Twilight’ are detecting the same divine power from the second sun. The Terrible might take over Earth at this rate.

└Again with that weird conspiracy theory?

└But maybe it’s not really a conspiracy theory anymore. Everyone on Earth already knows the Terrible.

└He’s an actual god now, you know.

―LoveSLRhiatus: People are already building several churches of him in my neighborhood. The White Tiger Clan is apparently sending their people to those churches to make sure they don’t turn into cults.

―WantTDTRhiatus: I heard that the Divine Bell Overlord is also helping the White Tiger Clan! Gosh! First the Illuminati in Europe, and now the Triad in China. I’m getting high on patriotism again.

Since Chang-Sun’s subordinates had been traveling around Earth to swiftly close the remaining unclosed Dungeons, the Divine Name of ‘Divine Twilight’ naturally spread everywhere. Even tribal people and those living near war zones learned of his Divine Name despite not knowing about his nicknames like Tyrant or Terrible. Some of the tribes even equated ‘Divine Twilight’ to the supreme god of their original religion.

Since changing their identity to the of ‘Divine Twilight,’ the Clan continued to expand remarkably quickly. Meanwhile, the that resisted him quickly crumbled down.

Now, a new sun had appeared in the sky. The people thought it was obviously a miracle made by a god, especially since looking at it made them feel as if all their stress from modern society was disappearing. Looking at it long enough made them feel peace and gave them the spiritual satisfaction of becoming one with a god.

Even though the main principle of their civilization of science was rationality, they were still vulnerable to psychologically satisfying miracles.

“Dear Lord.”

“Dear Lord, please save us.”

“Please look over the children of the Twilight.”

It wasn’t part of Chang-Sun’s plan, but it made the Earth stabilization process proceed way more smoothly than expected.

[The Celestial ‘Divine Twilight' is acquiring an astronomical amount of Faith!]

[Current progress: 63%]

The people of Earth weren’t the only ones who were showing such a heated response.

* * *

[The jaw of the Celestial ‘A Good Season to Hunt’ drops as she wonders what in the world is that!]

[The Celestial ‘World-Encircling Serpent’ asks why the Celestial ‘A Good Season to Hunt’ can’t tell something so obvious. He explains that the sphere is made of a high concentration of divine power that has an attribute.]

[The Celestial ‘A Good Season to Hunt’ becomes angry at the sarcastic remark of the Celestial ‘World-Encircling Serpent,’ saying that she knows what it is.]

[The Celestial ‘A Good Season to Hunt’ adds in annoyance that she simply has not seen a divine power sphere like that before.]

Léraðr was another name for Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Naming his fourth class after it was a clear indication that he had reached a high level of gnosis.

‘Light also symbolizes wisdom and knowledge,’ Chang-Sun thought, finally feeling that he had become a . ‘I still can’t feel anything from the , though.’

Becoming someone’s subordinate or avatar usually spiritually connected them to their superior, like a Channeling. However, Chang-Sun couldn’t feel any link at all. It was as if he was drawing power from ‘somewhere’ without any conditions.

‘Well, I don’t see any downsides to this for me.’

Considering he was concerned that the would put a restriction on him in exchange for lending him power, this was a very satisfying result for him. The could demand a full price for indiscriminately borrowing his power later, but Chang-Sun thought he could afford to worry about that later.

‘So that is supreme sacred light... Can I mix with it?’ Chang-Sun wondered as he looked at the sphere of light, which had gradually grown larger. It was now covering almost the entire sky.

[The Celestial 'World-Encircling Serpent’ flinches in surprise upon seeing you smiling wickedly!]

[The Celestial ‘World-Encircling Serpent’ stumbles backward and says that a big incident occurs whenever you smile like that!]

[The Celestial ‘Abyss-Chasing Great Devil’ nervously looks at you!]

Thinking it was worth a try, Chang-Sun moved all his supreme sacred light to his right hand. Fortunately, controlling it wasn’t difficult even though it was his first time using it.

[The Skill ‘Stigma’ has been activated, making up the difference between the two Divinities!]

Paaah...!

‘And in my left hand... .’

Swish, swoosh, swish.

The shadow-like energy rose from the back of and enveloped Chang-Sun’s hand like a haze. The contrast between the golden light in his right hand and the black in his right created a very overpowering sight.

[The Celestial ‘Twilight-Piercing Owl’ sweats in surprise!]

[The eyes of the Celestial ‘War-Loving Fighting Deity’ sparkle.]

[The eyes of the Celestial ‘Madness Infuser’ sparkle.]

[The eyes of the Celestial ‘A Blacksmith in a Volcano’ sparkle.]

...

[The Celestial ‘Abyss-Chasing Great Devil’ narrows his eyes as he gets an ominous feeling!]

「H-hey, Twilight? Isn’t that a bit dangerous?」

「I agree. Why not stop conjuring your powers...?」

Kali and his subordinates looked nervous as they watched Chang-Sun as well.

―... I was just going to watch, but are you seriously going to mix those two?

Even Odin sounded very concerned.

“Why? Is there a problem?” Chang-Sun asked in return. He infused into the sphere of light before Odin could answer.

―You luna—!

[The Celestial ‘Abyss-Chasing Great Devil’ yells at you to sto—!]

Both Odin’s shocked scream and Mephistopheles’ frantic message were cut short. They no longer made any sounds—no, all noises they made were muffled.

The moment a part of the golden light sphere was tinged with black, the two Divinities reacted against each other. Chang-Sun could force them to harmonize using his [Stigma], but he couldn’t do that now that he had lost control over them.

The and had always been so different from each other that they were categorized as two opposite sources, and the two fighting over the laws of nature only further heightened the reaction.

The combination of the two created an explosion so powerful it was reminiscent of the Big Bang, which gave birth to the universe. Within seconds, the grand-scale destruction devoured Earth, erased the entire solar system, and even took out two other galaxies.
