Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2021: Chapter 2016: King Slayer Moon

Did the Dark Moon manifest within the Divine Domain of the Abandonment King?

Even though I don’t mind extending such an invitation myself, appearing so brazenly right now spans several dimensions.

”Hmm...”

Even the Witch seemed quite surprised.

Though incredibly faint, it would be almost impossible to detect without the Mythical Form, but in that moment, Fu Qian discerned a familiar trace of intent.

Far away in the World Within the Painting, Niel Glegorya the Dark Moon Cult Leader, she also seemed to take notice of this sudden commotion, and emotionally proved that this change was not led by her.

It’s getting more and more eerie... but thinking optimistically, being able to react so sharply, the Pope’s condition seems to have recovered quite well.

Raise a glass to the bright moon, forming a trio with Ying Cheng.

Towards the direction of the moon, Fu Qian raised the paper cup in his hand.

Although that dark moon emitted nothing but a chill, it didn’t bring a single extra ray of light, not even shadows.

At the same time, the moment Fu Qian raised the cup, his subtle connection with the Witch had already severed—because the moon had quickly disappeared again.

Not only that, all the light disappeared together, even any related concepts.

Ultimately forming a truly Dark Night above the transcendent Darkness.

What a familiar scene, for I personally triggered similar during my time in the Night Holy City.

The Deep Sleep of Time and Moon truly is the authority of the Dark Moon—yet it’s not the Witch.

Still able to feel the joy and fear beneath my feet, behind this deeply terrifying change, the Tyrant’s subjects remained unshaken.

Sss—

However, the moment the wine glass was set down, the body of the Abandonment King was forcibly pierced from behind.

...

Indeed, it’s not the Witch’s doing, but somehow the situation is becoming clearer.

The sudden attack flickered and vanished, as if fearing the Tyrant’s counterattack, although it was already very well hidden.

The cold Dark Realm is evidently more than just a special attack against the Prism of Radiant Transformation.

Earlier, it was not that the Abandonment King was being arrogant, the attack was detected almost instantly upon impact.

The extraordinary concealment effect provided by the Dark Night is miraculous, even within the realm belonging to the Tyrant...

While swiftly understanding the change, Fu Qian also seemingly obtained the answer to the question just now.

Why wasn’t there any ominous flame burning everywhere?

Why, even though the Tyrant has already died and was even skinned by myself, his devotees remained as calm and devout as ever?

The answer is, because at this moment the Tyrant isn’t dead yet.

What I’m experiencing now is the moment of his historical fall.

Using the key of Left and Right, indeed resonated with the Abandoned Prison, but it’s not the version ”seen” by the Jade Soul Master, rather the one from history.

The cause of this deviation is also not difficult to imagine, given that through the eyes of the Jade Soul Master I could know that within his ”zen” path, the dimension of time had already become blurred.

Meanwhile, earlier due to the still weak connection, mere resonance with Left and Right wasn’t enough, resulting in the final activation of the Abandonment King’s form.

In such a situation, the resonance was sufficient, but it’s unfortunate that the degree of resonance with the Abandonment King’s last moment in history was noticeably higher... Very well, now I’ve truly touched upon ancient secrets.

To become the Abandonment King just before his fall can be considered the most perilous scene imaginable, right?

Comparing with previous exchanges in the ”Doomsday” with the Mother of the Gospel, it’s likely not just entering to experience it, like a scene re-enactment.

The Tyrant met his demise, and if this mechanical remastered version were to fall here, it would likely face the same fate.

I need to win—even though the Tyrant himself lost the fight.

Which isn’t blameworthy, as this is clearly not a fair battle.

The Dark Moon swathing the field with effects as cover, and the horrifying strike from behind, are clearly not from the same entity.

The reasoning for judgment is simple, that’s not a regular wound.

The chaos and curse accompanying the trauma, even this Divine Body can’t be immune.

In layman’s terms, this assassin is even using a Poisoned Blade.

And while this curse is relatively unfamiliar, there is another that I’m familiar with—Dimensional Poison.

The legendary Dragon King’s unique mastery, capable of creating unhealable decay that Divine Beings wail over.

The same was also attached to that strike.

This blade in the darkness was undoubtedly meticulously schemed, even concerted in effort.

However, faced with all this this time, still is an incomplete counterfeit—

Decree Residue.

At that moment, Fu Qian neither fled nor pursued, but opened one of the four halos on the spot.

Though under the Dark Night, it couldn’t illuminate a shred of the surroundings.

...

The Abandonment King died amidst a meticulously plotted conspiracy, including involvements from both the Dark Moon and the Dragon King?

This is truly explosive news.

Don’t forget the reality where the Tyrant is as dead as his skin, even unpeeled by myself, and the Dragon King is so feeble that he can’t even control his tools.

It is clear they haven’t survived that Long Night.

So was this what happened on that night? Or even earlier?

More importantly, this is the first time traces of the Dark Moon’s activities in this world have been grasped.

Regardless of the form of power or the previous reaction of the Witch, all seem to prove that it indeed shares the same origin as her power.

The Witch’s ”Mother”?

She not only resided in this world, but even participated in such major affairs?

Additionally, what is her relationship with Annalise, the Progenitor of the Blood Clan?

The Red Moon distinctly informed me, ”Annalise did not wait for the Long Night.”

Although the purpose of waiting for the Long Night is still unknown, the credibility of this statement should remain, especially since the Bloodline Clan also mentioned that the Progenitor was already less responsive before the Long Night.

Could Annalise’s fall be related to the Dark Moon too?

Looking at it this way, the latter has indeed stirred quite a few matters.

The Progenitor of the Blood Clan, the Tyrant... not even sure how she managed to reach the other world, then set up a fake starry law barrier out there.

It’s unfortunate, the Witch seemingly knows little about this, yet even though witnessing firsthand now, the likelihood of them answering my doubts is approximately zero—especially after I did this.

By activating one halo per second, and again with four halos surrounding, Fu Qian relying on the essential link with the Abandoned Prison, finally locked onto something, and detonated the corresponding Eye of Calamity.

The darkness vibrated, yet stubbornly pulled each other without showing cracks, even shedding endless chill.

Sss—

Unfortunately in the dubbing done by the Abandonment King specifically for this, one moment ultimately ended in vain, tearing into fragments scattered all over.

Not particularly intense light reappeared, the crawling beneath remained, yet above this time there was no Dark Moon.

Instead, a body even larger unfolded slowly.

With a slender neck, unusual wings, each fragment perfectly geometrical, reminiscent of the Extraordinary Creature known as Soul Butterfly.
