Chapter 999 - 50: Reflection of Mythological Collision

Chapter 999: Chapter 50: Reflection of Mythological Collision

The precise and destructive beams carried immense energy, possessing extremely high electromagnetic radiation frequencies, each even bearing the breath of Thunderous Authority.

Glorious splendor! Ultimate beauty! And also ultimate killing intent!

Beneath the dazzling façade lies the terrifying threat of stripping all life away! Momentary lightning descended from the sky, piercing through the air, twisting physical laws. Its destructive power was already enough to decompose matter and destroy energy, now forming a cluster strike, descending with endless orbital bombardment!

The "Angels" unfolded their pristine wings, surging towards the sky like a torrent, only to be precisely pierced without exception, as the violent particle ray flows penetrated the shield and defense, even breaking the molecular bonds between atoms of the target...

Almost in just an instant—

The interdimensional "Angels" army was easily wiped from this world by the clustered beams like a meteor shower!!

The atmosphere boiled, blurring everything.

Intense radiation, magnetic fields, and radiant heat exploded like a storm, destroying everything.

Like a massive meteor shower, thousands of falling meteors dragged burning trails across the firmament and sky, relentlessly turning everything on the earth into sieves!!

One by one, the "Angels" struggled to spread their wings, wielding the Holy Sword in hand, but all in vain, as each was pierced through the energy force field’s defenses, then their bodies were evaporated within less than a microsecond, as if shattered to pieces, leaving no remains!

Despite the countless "Angels" charging forward with reckless abandon, swarming in from the other side of the colossal Teleportation Gate, from that unknown domain belonging to another dimension, like a carp crossing the river, endlessly surging in waves.

However—

Beyond the skies, above the atmosphere, the response from the orbital Star Ring Great Wall was even more terrifying and brutal.

It’s a steel wall encompassing the entire planet, a ring-shaped orbital space station circling the planet, the Star Ring base spanning 131,424 miles. At this moment, in the sky right above the battlefield, that massive shadow suddenly began to glow, illuminating along the surface of the ring!

Like a giant fluorescent tube flickering, point by point lighting up!

As a Star Ring base built along the entire satellite orbit, it was a gigantic structure sufficient to suppress the entire planet by mere scale, yet it’s size in outer space beyond the atmosphere can still induce anxiety in those with fear of large objects.

Such a massive, astronomical unit...

How could it possibly lack defense and corresponding specialized functions?

The scale itself is intimidatingly vast, as a Great Wall in space capable of defending the entire star system, the internal pressure naturally needs no elaboration.

Not to mention merely these numbers of "Angels", even if their numbers increased tenfold or hundredfold, it would still ensure every target is precisely allocated with the full cluster strike of orbital bombardment, ensuring that simultaneously on the ring, dozens or hundreds of focused arrays lock onto the same target for saturated bombardment...

"Ah! This..."

In the grandiose clamor akin to an apocalyptic revelation, seemingly tearing the whole planet apart, Lady Aisha almost couldn’t help but close her eyes.

Excessive exposure made her eyes feel slightly uncomfortable, as in her vision, hardly anything could be seen clearly, only dazzling flashes dancing wildly, weaving destruction with electromagnetic waves and light quanta, unleashing a tide of annihilation, as if divine retribution upon the world, obliterating all equally!!

The massive Teleportation Gate also seemed to tremble, threatening to collapse, fracturing in the void.

But, in the next moment—

A gigantic tractor beam descended from above, precisely enveloping the surface of the Teleportation Gate, an invisible force forcibly froze all of spacetime, crudely fusing the fracturing void together, reinterpreting the meaning of rules and information.

The immense kingdom behind the gate began to tremble, as if resisting!

Vaguely, it seemed a great will was staring at this spectacle from the opposite side.

The gate, in resistance, burst forth with even stronger brilliance, the radiance overshadowing the cataclysmic flames in the sky, even above the destructive beams of orbital bombardment, casting a sacred light from heaven. Just like many movie depictions, when the gates of heaven open, the beams of light penetrating through the clouds fall upon a divine staircase ascending to the sky...

Holy!

Ethereal!

Endless radiance!!

It is the spiritual domain, the great sanctuary.

Like stage lights at the center, the gates of the Celestial Kingdom drew the attention of all survivors, and as they turned their gaze towards it, they all, without exception, felt this strange intuition, inexplicably giving birth to this recognition in their hearts, that what they understood was "paradise".

Countless winged "spirits" revolved and wandered in the kingdom behind the gate.

In the depths of that immense kingdom, the sacred light rolled and surged like an ocean, dazzling and majestic, accompanied by ethereal and vast prayers resounding... passing through mountains and seas, beyond the horizon and starry sky, with sacred intent grand and boundless, praising and glorifying the one true God.

"Eh eh eh?"

Lady Aisha was slightly taken aback, but then she seemed to have thought of something.

However, she didn’t have time to do anything, nor did she have a chance to react before the entire world fell into silence.

The endless orbital bombardment came to an abrupt halt, and the spiritual legions arriving cross-boundaries were crushed into ash one by one by the space-based energy weapons transformed by Thunderous Authority. Between heaven and earth, only the quiet burning of that gigantic tree remained, its splitting and rupturing echoing as earth-shattering explosions.

Yet it only served to accentuate the silence of the moment...

As if the wind and sound had died.

It was in this rare moment of respite that Lady Aisha had the leisure to carefully observe.

The reason for the illusion of heaven and earth being reversed, after all, was because that World Tree was growing from the sky, rooting in the heavens and extending downward, its branches and leaves flourish like a canopy... except now they were all ablaze, the flames spreading along the tree trunk like a red lotus.

So big, so vast...

Each leaf was so immense that when burning fiercely and feebly falling from the tree, it became a flaming meteor, dragged by its heavy weight, with countless tails of flames, smashing down toward the earth with a roar.

This was the truth behind the sky burning as calamity flames continually fell.

Everything was so terrifying.

"Is it Nordic Mythology or the Bible system..." Lady Aisha suddenly found herself a bit conflicted, unable to determine what kind of world she had come to.

As a Demon King who existed on the same level as the Gods, and with the particularity of her own Authority, Lady Aisha naturally understood that the world was not a single existence form. For example, outside her birthplace timeline, there existed countless Parallel Worlds with different histories.

Like a world where Jesus Christ was not crucified...

Like a world where aliens attacked during World War II...

Like a world where cosmic beings arriving in UFOs converted to Buddhism, turning Calcutta into a spaceport...

——It can truly be said that there are countless strange and bizarre world lines, infinite possibilities. There’s only what you can’t imagine, and nothing that does not exist.

Among them, naturally, there would be worlds dominated by mythological systems, like the world of Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism... and so on, all of which surely exist. But this collision between Nordic Mythology and the Bible system, bringing forth an apocalypse-like world line, was indeed the first time she had witnessed it.

Or perhaps, this represented a collision of mythology itself?

Lady Aisha vaguely had a hypothesis.

If culture changes, then mythology follows suit.

Sometimes that transformation causes the Gods to change even their names.

And Nordic Mythology? It was once a unique mythological system in the Scandinavia region, famous, yet unable to change its fate. When Christianity spread to Northern Europe, it ultimately overwhelmed the native faiths, and a series of powerful blows led most works recounting Nordic Mythology to be denounced as heresy and consigned to flames.

Cultural changes, faith changes—

Thus mythology changes accordingly.

So could this war reflect a collision between two mythological systems? The victor writes history, showcasing its Power by conquering the vanquished. This has always been an eternal theme in mythology, religion, and similar topics.

And what this world line presents might correspond to just such a history?

The Bible system defeating the Nordic system, writing a history of victory?

No matter how unreliable or irresponsible she might seem, having lived for over one hundred and fifty years, and with her unique identity, Lady Aisha indeed knew many secrets. In an instant, she zeroed in on this possibility, which to her seemed the most plausible.

Only—

A terrifying screech resounded, causing the atmosphere to tremble with a violent airquake. Technologically advanced landing capsules descended from the burning sky, teamed with warships piercing through the clouds, rising into the air, pressing towards the world behind the gates of the Celestial Kingdom with a posture of military oppression...

Witnessing this extraordinarily fantastical reality, even someone as nonchalant as Lady Aisha couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her eyes.

Once again, she looked up at the sky, her gaze penetrating the clouds, reaching beyond the atmosphere.

She could see more clearly the Star Ring Great Wall orbiting the planet, spanning the endless dark space, imposing its dominance over the orbital sky of the entire planet...

So, what on earth is this? Could it be another alien invasion?

Yet by all appearances, it seems to belong to the faction on the World Tree’s side. Could it be that Nordic Mythology follows the path of Mechanical Ascension?

Lady Aisha felt it wasn’t all that reliable, as everything seemed to become very chaotic.
