Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality
Chapter 706 - 250: Stealing the Name

"Huh——"

"Finally..."

Letting out a long breath, Anran sat upright on the Great Sun Orb.

At this moment, although only two lonely subordinates remained by La's side, the expression beneath his mask had softened considerably.

Previously, as the game progressed, although La was not completely certain of the final outcome, the power continuously pouring in from the world was his confidence.

However, the lack of critical progress in the Mortal Realm had ultimately concerned him, for from start to finish, the pace of the Outer God and the Alien Realm remained unchanged.

As the Pillar Gods fell one by one, the World Power surging from the Alien Realm never ceased. In such a situation, a lack of change was the worst change of all.

Fortunately, that was before, and now, finally, something different had happened... La's gaze lifted slightly since he discovered that the mortal was able to wield power in the Mortal Realm that increasingly approached that of a deity, he never counted on using a natural disaster to end the match.

While the All Gods were in The Sky, that mortal was on Earth, one layer separated them. Even if he summoned disasters that could destroy the Hebrews, Messe would definitely survive alone.

So he ultimately chose to personally kill that mortal, who both the Alien Realm and Outer God were particularly concerned about. In this way, it didn't matter whether he was special or not, as the Mortal Realm would no longer have this largest variable.

In the end, if the situation ultimately required him to take action to save it... what awaited him next?

His belief flickered, but before he could make a guess, the vast and endless Sea of Origin suddenly shuddered in La's perception.

The intertwining black gold surface of the Sea abruptly sank, and the 'water', clearly demarcated, seemed to lose its vitality on the black side. What was once active and erosive quieted down.

Across from it, sensing the change in its adversary, the golden 'water,' which had been barely resisting, also became calm.

In the Void, a sharp sense of rejection came forth, and the chessboard before La rapidly dimmed as well.

All these rapid changes occurred in an instant. As everything entered La's perception and the changes announced their end, the impact they brought was far more than a simple shift.

"Is this... the World Power of the Alien Realm starting to recede?"

Above the Sea of Origin, looking down at the still churning 'waves' below his feet, La's surprise was hardly containable.

There was a clear change in the collision of powers between worlds, but to say they were receding wasn't quite accurate. To be precise, they were no longer as rampant and reckless as before.

The clash between the two realms had become more moderate and even though, up to this day, with the continuous fall of the Pillar Gods and the emerging gaps, Hemenu was still in serious trouble. This was still enough to astonish La.

The 'water' of the Sea of Origin is not water, and it originally had no color. The former Nine Pillars Spirit were very clear that the so-called 'black' and 'gold' were actually only an illusion of perception.

Being a deity of Hemenu, the power of the Alien Realm appeared as 'black', and gold was the color representing allies.

The colors truly represented stance, and the current change between black and gold couldn't be clearer in reflecting the power shift between the two worlds.

Because of a mortal, the Alien Realm's Law was actually retreating!

"Could it really be like this... As the power of the Otherworld wanes, even the restrictive force of this chessboard has decreased as well."

"The Sea of Origin's restrictions on All Gods have also relaxed, so I... can do even more!"

He took a step, and for the first time since arriving, La stepped down from the Great Sun Orb.

Tremendous Divine Power overflowed from his body, and the Sun rose from behind his head. Above the Void, the power from the Outer God descended from an infinite height, and La knew that the other party had also made a decision at this moment.

It did not change and still decided to strike against God, rather than protect those mortals!

"Hahaha——good!"

"Come, I am waiting for you in the Mortal Realm!"

La laughed aloud. The last time he felt such boiling excitement was during his battle with Atum.

Although he wasn't as powerful back then as he later became, he knew it was do or die, so he wasn't afraid of death.

And now, once again, he 'wasn't afraid of dying'

Without a glance at the remaining two Pillar Gods, the Great Sun Orb struck down, opening the barrier between the Sea of Origin and the Mortal Realm.

The illusory Sun and the real Sun of the Mortal Realm unified into one, and immediately following, an indescribable power struck La.

He paid a price for forcibly breaching the covenant and even leaving the Sea of Origin, yet with the departure of the Alien Realm's World Power, Hemenu regained some advantages on its home ground, and the damage that should have nearly caused La's fall didn't seem so terrible anymore.

Although the Origin was still injured, La did not care at all.

Looking up at the Void, he was well aware that solely with the Divine Authority of the Sun, he probably wouldn't stand a chance against the Outer God, even if he had not been injured; and now, having been hurt again, he was almost certain to be defeated.

"But what of it, if death can bring about final victory.

"I'm waiting to receive the Power of the World, to become the 'Savior' of His choosing. What about you, what are you waiting for?"

A twinge of guilt flashed through his heart, then was erased.

La knew he could have brought Nephthys and Thoth with him. Although the event occurred in just an instant, he still had the strength to do so, yet in the end, he did not.

Because he understood that only the complete destruction of the Nine Pillar Gods would bring as powerful a force as possible to his celestial self.

Though this Alien Realm god would definitely not compare to the greatness of The Eight Primordial Spirits, missing by an inch as the saying goes is missing by a mile; La would never give up any possibility that might slightly increase his chances of Victory.

Moreover... every bit of power gained now might become his support later on.

"I did not even spare myself, it's time you accepted this too."

"With the world on the brink of Destruction, this is a necessary Sacrifice."

Above the Primordial Water, Amon-Ra stood silent. But the power swelling behind the layered Space championed his cause.

The power of The Eight Primordial Spirits fundamentally comes from the World, they have a disadvantage against the Alien Realm; could they really also fall short against a god from the Alien Realm?

In the comparison of World Power, you had the upper hand, but in the comparison of Divine Power... it's my turn now.

In the limitless Void, the world of Hemenu, wrapped by four layers of barriers, continued to shine brightly.

But His life had already entered a countdown.

············

Crack—

In the Mortal Realm, a peel of thunder exploded, yet the sky was cloudless.

Outside the city of Heliopolis, Isis's perfect smile twitched slightly.

This wasn't the first time she had sensed such a fluctuation; it had been the ninth time, except this one was particularly intense.

The Son of God from an Alien Realm, the Prophet endowed with strength by the Outer God, had met his tenth death in Hemenu.

Ten rebirths, ten deaths. Would he live again, or had the Outer God's purpose been fulfilled…

Isis did not know, but she had witnessed with her own eyes, after Messe accepted the Divine Revelation, that the gods of Egypt were forced to withdraw from the Mortal Realm.

The onslaught from the Alien Realm surged in an instant, nearly a pyrrhic victory, almost destroying the enemy at the expense of three times their number. Would such an assault continue if Messe were dead?

Isis didn't know, but she knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for had also arrived.

"Isis, what are you thinking about?"

Thoth's brow furrowed as he seemed to notice Isis's wandering mind. But when the frown was placed on his ibis-like head, it seemed somewhat comical.

"Nothing much. What about you, have you made up your mind?"

"What's the rush? Such matters, let me think about it further... Hmm?!!"

Once more brushing it off, for Thoth, it would have been wonderful if the god La could secure the final victory.

He knew the content of the ritual, but it lacked the assistance of Life Divine Power. Yet if La were to achieve victory, on the one hand, he could take ample time to reanalyze and understand this ritual with the power of Wisdom and Magic. On the other hand, he could try to ask god La for Life Force.

Compared to Isis, he trusted himself a little more. However, at this moment, all of Thoth's previous plans were overturned.

At this unexpected juncture, the Sea of Origin in Hemenu suddenly trembled. Before Thoth had time to react, god La forcibly burst through the gateway between the Sea of Origin and the Mortal Realm, leaving a place as if a graveyard of the gods.

In an instant, Thoth, previously occupied with inconspicuous actions, was openly exposed in front of the Outer God. The threat of death struck his face, and he didn't even have time to react.

"—However, Isis, I've made up my mind. If there are no problems, let's start now."

The tone shifted, and the usual calm and wisdom were thrown aside. At that moment, Thoth only hoped that Isis had not noticed his current predicament to avoid any delays at this critical juncture.

And perhaps prayers had an effect, as Isis seemed unbothered by the change in Thoth's attitude.

"Alright…since you have finally made up your mind, let's start now."

"You perform the ritual yourself, you probably wouldn't trust me, right? I'll just be in charge of providing the Life Force, which is key to gaining a whole soul."

The smile was still there, her white fingers lightly tapped.

In front of Isis, the verdant Life Divine Power surfaced around her. Across her, seeing her agreement, Thoth did not dare delay.

At this moment, he truly owed thanks to the space-time flow speed changes caused by the world's turmoil. The flow of the entire world had slowed down, and above the Sea of Origin was even slower than in the Mortal Realm.

Without the time discrepancy, he probably couldn't have waited to complete the ritual.

His right hand lifted slightly, the Divine Artifact Book opened, and the previously recorded ritual emerged from it.

Lastly, Thoth, with the authority of Wisdom, verified the ritual—harmless, no loopholes, no possibility of being controlled or backstabbed halfway through the process.

The only purpose of the entire ritual is to use his incarnation Bai as the foundation, complete the remaining parts of the soul, and sever the connection with other parts. At that point, he would be a new life, an entity completely unrelated to the past Thoth, just like Isis—even fate would be stripped away.

"Sigh—Let's start."

Taking a long breath, Thoth's palm pressed against the book.

Complex Runes and Ritual Tracks fell from it, one by one, line by line, instantly covering the space around him.

At the same time, a protective barrier was also opened, with the Divine Artifact as its core. It was clear whom he was guarding against.

Finally, as the main body of the ritual was about to be constructed, Thoth's ibis head turned towards Isis, or rather, her Life Divine Power.

"Inject it now, you know, I can't guarantee you won't stop halfway through."

"And once the ritual is complete, you don't need to worry about me turning against you. After all, at that point, we will be in the same boat."

"Hmm…alright."

She seemed to hesitate for a moment but was persuaded. Isis finally released her loosely clenched hand.

In the surrounding space, the encircling Life Divine Power, now unrestrained, surged toward Thoth's position.

And as Life Divine Power was injected, the ritual seemed to complete the final link, immediately shining brightly, flickering with a mystical force.

"There's nothing wrong with the ritual."

"Isis might have some schemes, but they surely don't involve me."

Still somewhat uncertain, Thoth replayed the previous events in his head, but he couldn't find any issues.

In normal times, he would never be so reckless, but he had no choice, he was running out of time.

"Come…begin!"

With a low shout, the ritual began to operate.

Thoth's figure, too, was submerged within the Ritual Tracks.
