The light and darkness engulfed everything. The eruption destroyed everything within its area. It was completely silent as the sound didn't even make out of the area. The particles were obliterated. The only thing that was left was the traces of energy in the atmosphere.

Souta was breathing heavily and his body was covered in his own blood. The parasite started to work as it slowly repaired the damage to his body. It was slow as the queen parasite was reaching its limit.

In front of him was a huge pit. A part of the mountain was destroyed in the blink of an eye. It was emitting red smoke and sparks were flying everywhere. An area within a diameter of ten kilometers was turned into a desolate land. The space and time were distorted but it quickly healed in no time. The Imperium right now was nothing compared to before.

Also, the Mountain of Demise started healing the damage it received from the attack.

'Souta, are you okay?' Saya asked worriedly.

"I'm fine..." Souta said before he fell down on his knees.

The [Yin-Yang Bracelet] had three equipment skills. The first one was the [Yin-Yang Twin Spirits]. The second one was the [Yin-Yang Unification] and the third one was the [Grand Demolition Space].

The skill he used right now was the [Grand Demolition Space]. It was the ultimate skill of [Yin-Yang Bracelet]. It obliterated its target into nothingness including space and time. It was a Tier 4 spell of the legend, a forbidden spell.

The only problem was the requirement to use it. Souta had to sacrifice the twin spirits for its usage and he wouldn't be able to use the two spirits for an entire month. Also, the skill consumed a lot of his energy, health, and stamina. It was a one-hit skill and he needed five seconds before he could prepare it.

That's why he set up the fight that way. He needed Saya to buy him some time to prepare the skill and also lower Draymond's guard by indirectly showing everything that he has got.

In the game, Souta could easily use it since he had various defensive skills to protect him, and skills to recover his lost mana, health, and stamina. The repercussions he received could be easily dealt with with his skill set. He also had artifacts to directly bring out four magic circles of the forbidden spell.

Cough! Cough!

Souta coughed a mouthful of blood. He felt tired but he could still go another round. He still had energy left in his [Nebula Heart]. It was good that he had two energy cores in him.

As for Draymond, there was nothing left of him. Not even ashes remain after he took a direct hit from [Grand Demolition Space]. He also confirmed his death by looking at the system notification.

"It's not over..."

Souta forced himself to stand. He walked toward the top of the mountain. Draymond said that the ritual was already completed and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

'Be careful, I have a bad feeling about this.' Saya warned him.

When Souta arrived at the peak, he saw a huge altar. There were several corpses around the altar. All of them were wearing white robes that had an insignia of the Hall of Power. This place was also close to the crimson net that was covering the entire Hall Plains, no, the crimson net was coming from this place.

Souta looked up and stretched his hand. The crimson net was just several feet above him. At the center of the altar, there was some sort of passage that led to outer space. A vast amount of energy was coming from it and it seems that it was connected to the ritual.

'Souta, I think that the guy before is right. The ritual is in motion and the passage here is connected to a sub-world. The vessel is probably right there.' Saya said to him.

"Vessel... Don't tell me it's..." Souta narrowed his eyes.

'It's probably her...' Saya said in a low voice.

Souta grew silent as he stared at the passage above his head. He didn't know what lies on the other side of this passage except that it was an unknown sub-world.

He took a deep breath before jumped toward it. His body was sucked and the mysterious force of the passage guided him to the other side in the blink of an eye. He traveled from Imperium to an unknown place.

Bang!

Souta landed on the ground with a bang and noticed the changes in the mana density. It was too thin and he felt that he could easily destroy this place if he wanted.

But that's not the issue right now, the problem was the other side of the passage was a devastated land. A sea of fire was everywhere and dark smoke was rising through the sky. The whole star system was covered in the crimson net.

'This is the place...' Saya muttered.

Souta stood up and looked around. He could see and hear hundreds of souls in the surroundings. It means that they just died as souls couldn't stay in this realm for a long time. They would be forced into the soul realm to cleanse their souls and undergo reincarnation.

'This sub-world is the sacrifice...' Saya added.

"Am I too late?" Souta spoke in a low voice while observing the surroundings.

Footsteps sounded behind and he quickly turned his head. Souta widened his eyes and he saw the one behind him.

"You!!"

Outside of Hall Plains...

Esquin, the Ruler of Gluttony, was floating in midair with a smile on his face. Behind him was the crimson net that covered the entire Hall Plains.

He was facing the gods from other factions. Hercules, Hermes, Njord, Vidar, and some of the gods from Large Countries.

"It's too late! You guys are too scared to offend the God's Will. That's why you didn't notice anything happening in this land. Is it because you didn't want another problem to come with you while you all are dealing with the demons?"

Esquin laughed as he stared at them one by one. He shrugged his shoulders and laughed at the gods.

"Well, you also want him to fall so you didn't do anything and let the God's Will destroy this land a thousand years ago. Everyone is scared of the No God Emperor."

Esquin wasn't scared of facing several gods from different factions at the same time. He was confident in his abilities and power.

"You have no idea about what truly happened there. You haven't even been born at that time. So don't talk like you know the truth of the No God Emperor." Njord said coldly.

"Oh, yeah, but that makes me curious about why the No God Emperor scared most of the faction in the Imperium," Esquin said with a faint smile. He then shrugged his shoulder and turned his back at the group of gods. "You came here for nothing. The ritual is completed. The No God Emperor found the perfect vessel and is in the process of freeing his body. If I only knew this, I would have sent some of my men here to investigate the truth."

Njord, Hermes, and the other gods had gloomy looked on their faces. They knew that Esquin was telling the truth. They couldn't even touch the crimson net as once they destroyed it, it would fall apart alongside the Heaven's Sealing Mountain. They would only speed up the process of No God Emperor breaking free.

Esquin snorted at the group of gods. He flew up and followed the trail of the crimson net that was heading to outer space. It was connected to a sub-world.

"Some of our warriors are inside the Hall Plains. Trust them and they will prevent the awakening of the No God Emperor. They are all warriors at heart." Hercules said to Hermes.

Hermes nodded. He then said, "For now, we should fortify space around this so that no one will try to break the crimson net."

"What about the Ruler of Gluttony?" One of the gods asked.

"It's not the time to fight him. If we start the fight it will affect the crimson net and you know what will happen once that happens." Vidar said.

"Also, that guy will not try to free the No God Emperor," Njord said.

"Some of the Deadly Sins partake in that event. They turned a blind eye as the two lords of the Hall Plains sought help from the other gods. The two lords asked for a helping hand from every faction in Imperium including those who are lurking in the shadows. But everyone turned a blind eye as five of the Ten Commandments demolished this place a thousand years ago." Hermes said.

"But that the Ruler of Gluttony now is different from the one a thousand years ago." One of the gods said.

"Let's just prepare for the worst," Hercules said. He wasn't a god at that time so he didn't know what really happened.

...

Esquin traveled billions of light years away from Imperium. He easily broke the space with his speed and arrived at a star system covered in the crimson net.

"No God Emperor... I will decide if you are essential to my plan or not. If not, then you can rot here in eternity. If you are useful then I don't mind offending all the factions in God's Continent and the God's Will since I'm already planning to let loose."

He just floated while staring at the star system. The space around him was distorted because of his presence. It was crumbling into tiny pieces, creating several wormholes out of nothing.

The space outside Imperium couldn't handle the existence of gods. It was too fragile for a powerful god like him.
