Chapter 979 Lunar Gap
From this day forward, there will be no more Takamagahara.
Standing at the edge of the Heavenly Court, Tayi Zhenren gazed down at the remnants of Takamagahara falling into the sea and couldn’t help but sigh.
“That divine realm had been corrupted for too long and was already completely decayed. Bringing it down to earth didn’t require much of the Heavenly Court’s power,” Guangcheng Zi slowly said.
“The Heavenly Court has just emerged and already brought down a divine realm. Should this deterrence be enough in the eyes of those outer gods in the mist?”
“It’s definitely enough,” Yuding Zhenren said with certainty.
“In this world, besides the monsters on the moon, only the Egyptian, Greek, Norse, and Indian pantheons are truly qualified to threaten Da Xia.
The Egyptian gods failed in their invasion of Da Xia and instead had their destiny severed, leaving the Sun City severely weakened. The Greek Olympus has been thrown into chaos due to the return of Nyx, the goddess of night, with two factions fighting endlessly.
Our bringing down of Takamagahara today serves as a huge deterrent to the remaining two pantheons. They believe Da Xia is now impregnable with the Heavenly Court gods stationed here, and will certainly be cautious, spending more time and energy preparing to join forces to deliver a fatal blow to our Da Xia…
Unfortunately, by the time they realize it, our surprise attack will already be over.”
“By the way, shouldn’t we do something about those monsters on the moon?” Tayi Zhenren asked worriedly, as if remembering something.
“The Heavenly Lord said we don’t need to deal with them for now,” Yuding Zhenren replied.
“Those monsters trying to break free from their cage will be handled by someone…”
…
The Moon.
Under the pitch-black deep space, the gray-white ground seemed endless, with scattered impact craters all around. Among the twinkling stars in the dead universe, a figure flew over from the blue planet.
In the center of an enormous crater, a figure stood like a statue, six huge white wings extending from its back, its entire body radiating golden light, incomparably divine!
Suddenly, this figure that had stood there for who knows how long, slightly trembled.
Those tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing furnace-like eyes that almost overshadowed the sun’s light behind them. Endless divine might emanated from its body, descending upon the ground.
It turned its head, looking toward the other end of the horizon.
Under the star-studded deep space, an old man in black slowly approached.
The moment he appeared, the dust floating above the broken ground instantly froze in the air. Light and shadow became fixed behind him, as if time had been paused.
Seeing that person, the furnaces burning in Michael’s eyes gradually extinguished. After a moment of silence, a voice of indeterminate gender resonated in the black-robed old man’s mind.
“You’re a year late.”
“Finding that thing took some time,” Chronos’s voice echoed in Michael’s mind.
The black-robed old man extended his hand, revealing a magatama with a broken corner lying quietly in his palm.
The divine artifact, Yasakani no Magatama.
He clenched his fist, the image of time’s river flickering in his eyes. Time rapidly reversed around him, and after a few seconds, when he opened his palm again, the magatama had been restored to its original state.
“I’m not like you. You have miracles protecting you from being corrupted by those things, while I can only rely on external objects to resist their whispers.”
The black-robed old man spoke while hanging the magatama around his neck, walking to the center of the crater and slowly coming to a stop.
Michael’s eyes moved away from the magatama and spoke flatly:
“Since this lunar seal has existed, I have been guarding it here. If not for the seal mysteriously breaking open slightly fifty years ago, I wouldn’t have sought your help… If you had come three years later, even I might have been affected by them, and by then, they would have truly broken free.”
“That’s why I’m here now, isn’t it?”
The black-robed old man stood before Michael’s towering figure and calmly said: “Show me the breach in the seal.”
Michael’s hands gripping the holy sword applied slight force, and the massive, sacred blade slowly pulled out from the crater. A flash of golden light, and the [Mortal Divine Domain] covering the moon’s surface receded like a tide.
The gray-white ground dispersed like an illusion, as if it had never existed. Large patches of scorched and broken soil were exposed before Chronos, covered with red lines interweaving with each other, seemingly forming some mysterious seal that firmly suppressed the writhing black earth.
Bizarre eyes opened one after another on the ground, their pale eyeballs simultaneously twisting to stare at Chronos standing on the scorched earth, filled with venom and malice.
This was the moon’s true face beneath the [Mortal Divine Domain].
“How disgusting.” Chronos’s gaze avoided these eyes, falling on a broken abyss nearby.
“Is that the breach in the seal?”
“Yes.” Michael slowly said, “This breach in the seal suddenly appeared from the outside fifty years ago, and the force that triggered its rupture came from Earth.”
“You mean someone on Earth is trying to break the lunar seal and release these monsters?” Chronos’s brows furrowed tightly, “But among all the pantheons, only a very few supreme gods should know the truth about the moon…”
As Chronos spoke, he walked to the edge of the abyss and looked down. Endless corruption mixed with bizarre whispers surged up from the abyss, rushing straight at his face.
At this moment, the Yasakani no Magatama on Chronos’s chest suddenly burst with dazzling light, helping him block the corrosion of this corruption.
But at the same time, fine cracks rapidly spread across the surface of the Yasakani no Magatama.
However, whenever these cracks were about to spread across the entire magatama, Chronos would reverse time, returning it to its complete state to continue resisting the invasion of corruption.
“You are the only one in this world who can repair this breach,” Michael’s voice resonated in Chronos’s mind.
“…I know.”
Chronos sighed, standing firm beside the abyss, unprecedented seriousness appearing on his aged face.
He reached out his hand and pressed down in the air toward the broken abyss before him.
In Chronos’s eyes, the slowly rotating river of time suddenly flowed in the opposite direction. The reversed river of time flowed out from within him, encircling his body.
Terrifying laws of time poured out from within him.
Time reversal.
As the river of time around Chronos flowed faster and faster, the abyss visibly reversed. Even though endless corruption and whispers hindered the reversal of time, under his powerful divine might, it was forcibly turned back.
As time flowed backward, the breach in the lunar seal was gradually being repaired.
