It seems I can finally say goodbye to the Crimson Moon.
Based on the principle of "Spirit Particle Fission and Fusion," Shiayar had conceived two sets of mechanical constructions a long time ago. For several years now, he and Su Lun had invested a great deal of effort, resources, and money into them. Ultimately, those grand concepts and blueprints have now, at this moment, materialized into reality.
[Rarity: Gold (Non-Upgradable)]
[Title Holder: Shiayar Egutt]
[It's not mere defiance, nor just a simple defeat.]
[You once, truly, killed the very concept of an ancient god in this world.]
[Title Attribute 1: When this title is equipped, you and your Pet Beast deal 500% bonus damage to enemies with Divinity.]
[Title Attribute 2: When this title is equipped, you will be regarded as the archenemy by the True Gods of the Abyss, Fabled Creatures, Parishioners' Leaders, and Zealots.]
[Note: In the history of the Western Continent, those who defeated incarnations of deities and defiled Deities, while rare, have existed.]
[But since the complete retreat of the Second Age of Gods and until the end of the Third Age of Gods, you are the only one who has slain Deities.]
[This is the supreme military honor amongst creatures of order, as well as a deep wound engraved on the stele of the Abyss—a hatred that will not fade with time, undying and unyielding.]
...
Finally, it is done.
Shiayar's gaze lingered on the brilliant gold Godslayer title and the words "500% Divinity special attack" in the attribute panel. As the output of the Core of the Furnace suddenly surged, the entire Black Knight Mecha, constructed from the invincible metal "Dragon Serpent Mercury," trembled slightly, eager to release the overflowing Magic Power.
Then, Shiayar slowly focused his spiritual power on that lofty Throne—more precisely, on the graceful figure holding the Sacred Sword upon it.
Only in this way do I finally have the right to stand before you, Your Highness.
Shiayar couldn't help but smile as he equipped the "Godslayer" title.
From the very beginning, whether it was the hints from Augutina, Silvia, and his Master, or Shiayar's own intuition, everything clearly pointed to one truth: compared to the cowardly ancient god, the Crimson Moon—who had been severely crippled at the end of the First Era, had not recovered since, and lacked any will to fight to the death—the Scarlet Queen before him was the far more formidable adversary, the one truly demanding his attention.
Having lingered in the world for nearly a thousand years, Isadella's strength and Rank could no longer be measured by a mere Throne. Not only does she wield the Sacred Sword, but as the master of the Imaginary Zone, she gains immense advantages with every passing moment she remains here. Within this Imaginary Zone, neither Augutina nor Silvia could stand against her; even merely stalling her would require their utmost effort.
Shiayar, piloting the first-generation Black Knight, might be able to contend with average Legendary beings. However, when facing a fully enraged and unfettered Isadella, he might not withstand even a single blow.
Only at this moment did Shiayar finally possess the qualifications to stand before the King of the Imaginary Zone. This was thanks to the 500% bonus from the "Godslayer" title and the Stars Chalice being turned into fuel, which increased the Mecha's output severalfold.
But that was all it was—mere qualification.
With the fall of the Crimson Moon, Shiayar had also lost his so-called undying body. Before an enraged Throne, any slight mistake could cost him his life.
Yet, even so, Shiayar's actions showed no hesitation.
He walked step by step towards the highest level of the damaged Royal Palace. The Mecha made resounding metallic noises as it stomped upon the still-hot molten metal covering the ground, creating massive depressions with each step.
Eventually, he stood outside the doors of the throne room.
Then, Shiayar simply canted the jet-black sword in the Mecha's hand, pointing it towards the silent girl before him.
