Chapter 127 – Tomorrow
Solari’s halo rotated beautifully.
Her pink hair swayed under the brilliant golden light emitted by the sun god, and her blue eyes, resembling the sky, stared straight into the world.
The Fairy Queen’s dress was already tattered.
It was dirty, covered in torn places and soaked in blood and sweat.
But no one could point it out.
The eight wide-open wings caught everyone’s attention.
Successor of Solari.
Another Archangel born in the Pleiades.
It wasn’t a proper birth.
Even if he had inherited all the experiences of his past life, it was impossible for a being who had been a seraph to instantly be promoted to an archangel.
But it was reality.
And this meant only one thing.
“Solari.”
Cordelia inherited the full power and will of Solari.
He inherited her divine power.
Because of this, he was able to be reborn as a new archangel of the sun.
Auriel instinctively realized this fact.
That’s why I got angry again.
Cordelia’s succession was accepted as usurpation.
“How far do you plan to defile Solari?”
How much more do I have to take from that child before I feel satisfied?
It was misplaced anger.
But Auriel could not perceive such a thing. Behind the furious archangel’s back, twelve wings of light opened wide, radiating tremendous power.
It was truly powerful.
It was a tremendous power that could not even be compared to that of Cordelia, the newly born Archangel.
But Cordelia was not pushed away.
The difference in class was already evident just from the length of his wings, but he was able to maintain his position even in the face of Auriel’s wrath.
The one standing by Cordelia’s side.
The patron deity of the Pleiades.
Uther radiated a pitch-black aura and took Auriel’s wrath head-on.
He did not allow his arrogant self-righteousness to harm Cordelia.
The nine heavens and the nine earths.
The nine worlds soon meant all the worlds.
The purpose of the Nine Heavens and Nine Gates was for those born as mortals to open the gates one by one, reach the limits of their species, and eventually surpass those limits to be reborn as true transcendent beings.
As Landius has pointed out in the past, it was more of a means of structuring than a martial art.
And that’s why you could never open the ninth door by simply becoming stronger.
Even if you were born with the ability to use the celestial body, opening the ninth door was virtually impossible.
But Uther made it happen.
As Lucas took each step forward, he reached the horizon.
Just like the first Yuder never gave up even in the face of harsh trials.
“Will we meet again?”
“We will meet again.”
The second one, Uther and Cordelia, spoke.
The affection between the two people was not erased.
“I know, but even if that were true, I······.”
The third Uther accepted his end.
But then I thought of Uther and Cordelia.
I dreamed of one day living with Cordelia and making her happy.
“No matter how many times I’m reborn, it’s the same. I’m sure you······.”
The fourth yud said.
The fifth one was made by Uther and Cordelia.
I never gave up hoping for a single miracle, leaving behind a single wish.
“Forever.”
Forever.
They all gave Yuder a push on the back.
They all led Yuder from the front.
Beyond the horizon,
Beyond that limit-
To fulfill my one and only wish –
[Hudai is a truly persistent man.]
Belencia said.
Uther smiled and accepted her, once again becoming one with the beautiful fairy sword.
A sword was created from Uther’s fingertips.
The essence of Sword Origin.
If I had to give it a name, it would be Fairy Sword Velencia.
The most beautiful sword in the world.
“I won’t allow it anymore.”
You guys are messing with the Pleiades as you please.
Trampling the Pleiades for your convenience.
The golden Dragon King’s emblem glowed on the back of Yuder’s hand.
From afar, the one who protects the wild lands was sending his strength.
“Archangel Auriel.”
The one who destroyed the Pleiades again and again.
Those who are aware of this fact and yet seek to bring about the destruction of the Pleiades once again.
It wasn’t a regression.
Her sins have not gone away.
It was deeply engraved in the world called Pleiades.
“It’s nothing!”
Auriel burst into rage.
She could only see the Pleiades beings that way.
It was impossible for her to have the same gaze as Solari.
“I will judge you!”
Auriel raised her Sword of Judgement. It sent a great ripple of gold through her body as she charged at Uther.
Uther ran out to meet Auriel.
She slashed the ripples with her fairy sword, Velencia, and summoned pitch-black dragons from the air. Nine black dragons charged towards Auriel.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Auriel slew the black dragons.
The world was shaken by the twelve chapters of light, and the sword of judgment was swung with the momentum of tearing the world itself apart.
Uther saw it.
The moment the nine black dragons were crushed, I lightly kicked the ground.
The 36 treasures of the world.
Understand the defense.
The twenty-four steps of the whirlwind.
Understand the distance.
Trust Twelve Steps
Erase the bearings, erase the distances, and realize that in the end, all that remains are the starting point and the ending point.
And one last step.
Cheondun-gu-bo.
Understand the world.
Uder is gone.
Appeared behind Auriel.
It was a space leap beyond even a blink.
It was like the fairy’s footsteps were unfolding without any restrictions.
Auriel quickly turned around and swung the Sword of Judgement.
As expected of someone born and raised on the horizon, his sword was sharp and sharp.
But Uther could tell.
Because I saw beyond the horizon, I could perfectly understand even the sword of the one standing on the horizon.
If I had to give it a name, it would be absolute inquisition.
The fairy sword Velencia drew a beautiful trajectory.
That alone rendered Auriel’s attack useless.
It was just one move, but in that moment, Auriel was able to realize.
It is impossible to defeat Uther with a sword.
I had to use a different number.
As a newly born, immature god, Uther was less skilled than Auriel in all aspects except swordsmanship.
So, the match is decided by something other than swordsmanship.
He crushes the Pleiades’ guardian deity with a significant difference in rank!
Kwagagagagagagagagaga-!
Auriel’s wings of light shone once more. They released tremendous divine power, pushing back Uther, and each of the twelve wings of light emitted a different power.
Uther saw it. He concentrated his consciousness while summoning black dragons from all sides of Auriel and charging at them.
Every moment Auriel’s powers engulfed him, he unleashed his Thousand-Two Swords.
Break, crush, and destroy.
Material decay.
Space disappearance.
Lightning and space insulation of divine punishment.
Every time one power was manifested, the world was shaken.
The Pleiades themselves seemed to scream.
Cordelia saw it all.
But instead of blasting a storm of light towards Auriel’s back, he unleashed the power of the sun.
It was her first time handling the power of a true god, but Cordelia was still Cordelia. She adjusted the power with her instinctive senses and achieved what she wanted.
An elixir that Count Chase gave to Uther.
That which can heal any wound or injury just once.
It was used as a catalyst.
The power of Elisa was contained in the sunlight that spread out through the eight wings of light. It breathed life into those who were on the verge of death once again.
“Cough!”
Scarlett vomited blood.
And she continued to breathe. She cursed in pain as she pulled out the sword of judgment embedded in her chest, but she did not lose her life.
Caesar, who had been bathed in Cordelia’s light, also stood up, swallowing a groan.
Adelaide looked up.
The red wind cried as it watched the sun song begin to breathe again.
The sun’s light reached far.
Those who still had some life left were raised up once again.
“You rascals!”
Auriel felt the life begin to fill the system again and filled her surroundings with feathers of light.
He summoned angels to try to take life again.
The angels who had already been born gathered around Auriel.
Cordelia saw it too.
And this time, it wasn’t tolerated.
“What is love!”
What the hell is revenge!
This is the world that Solari loved.
These are the people that Solari wanted to protect.
You are trying to destroy them all now.
Solari is trampling on the things he achieved by sacrificing his own life!
It’s not love.
It’s an obsession.
You are judging Solari with your dogmatism and self-righteousness and denying everything she has done.
You are forcing your own definition of justice by belittling it as worthless.
Solari doesn’t want this.
she is-
She who loved everyone-
“What do you know!”
Auriel burst into rage.
The anger of the one who had lived the longest among all the angels born since the opening of heaven was truly tremendous.
That anger alone twisted and shattered parts of the world.
Not the heavens and the earth, but the world itself screamed.
“Why, why that kid!”
I wish I hadn’t cared about this world.
I wish I hadn’t felt pity for the worms whether they died or not.
Why.
why.
That kid!
“Because that was Solari’s choice!”
Cordelia unfurled her wings, spinning Solari’s halo as she glared at Auriel. Instead of engaging in pointless arguments, she let out her anger as well.
“What on earth do you think people are!”
The countless people living in the Pleiades.
Their individual stories are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
How many times have I trampled them all?
How many times have I denied everyone’s life?
I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Now all that shit was unacceptable.
“Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!”
A storm of light arose.
144,000 spheres of light covered the sky, swirling around and swallowing up the angels and Auriel.
And Cordelia didn’t stop there.
He was ordained as an archangel.
As a contractor, I demanded performance of the contract.
“Spirit King Punch!”
The sky split open.
The blood-red sky tore open and the spirit king of lightning and storm appeared.
The golden giant, accompanied by thunder and lightning, burst into joyful laughter.
He swung his huge, massive fist into the middle of the storm of light.
Kwagagagagagagagagagagagang-!
Light covered the world.
A loud noise filled the world.
A tremendous explosion and crash shook the entire system.
“Ewwh …
Auriel screamed.
Angels numbering in the hundreds or even thousands were all annihilated by the storm of light and explosion.
The archangel who had been standing on the ground holding the sword of judgment was the first to kneel on the floor.
But I didn’t give in.
Although it took a lot of strength to travel between worlds, Auriel was the most powerful of the archangels in the heavens.
He was the celestial god who lived the longest.
He raised his sword of judgment, glaring at the spirit king of lightning and storm.
From beyond the bloody sky, he summoned a great sword of judgment.
Quagaga-!
A huge sword of light poured down towards the Spirit King.
The Spirit King burst into laughter and accepted the Sword of Light, exploding himself and destroying the Sword of Judgement that Auriel had called down from the heavens.
Kwagagagagang!
Several huge explosions occurred in the sky over the island.
The Sword of Judgement, broken into hundreds of pieces, rained down like a meteor shower.
Auriel burst into rage at the sight.
The maddened celestial god raised himself up, breathing heavily.
Any sense of cause had long since disappeared from her mind.
To put history back to its natural course.
To punish the young god Atalia who had arbitrarily trampled upon the fate of heaven.
To create a battlefield to fight the demons of hell.
I didn’t think about it.
She was already broken.
What was present here now was not some sort of archangel of judgment.
He was a god of destruction who only radiated blind hatred.
Yuder unfolded the Cheondungoobo again.
I thought for a moment as I pushed Auriel back with the Absolute Sword.
It took time.
It was Auriel who had been cultivating divinity for much longer than Uther himself and Cordelia.
In a simple war of attrition, this side would have fallen first.
So it took time.
Time to prepare one move to take down Auriel.
But who on earth can stop a mad god?
Can I interfere in this fight that has already become a fierce battle between the gods?
“A heart of steel, an unyielding will, a peerless physique.”
A curious voice was heard.
There was one who dared to intervene in the fight between the gods in a mortal body.
He laughed ferociously.
He raised the sword of the sun god, keeping an eye on the enemies of the world.
Solar Blade.
Proof that Solari loved this world.
A symbol of her desire to protect all of Pleiades until the end.
“Woooooooooooo!”
Landius unleashed the power of the Ultimate Sun God Art.
He attacked Auriel with the Sword of the Beginning.
“You idiot!”
Auriel could not ignore Landius’s existence.
The power of the sun contained in the Sword of Gaebyeok was by no means trivial.
Kwakang!
The Sword of Opening and the Sword of Judgement clashed.
The aftermath of that collision alone turned the world upside down, and Landius’s body, which was holding the Solar Blade, was shattered.
But Landius didn’t back down at all. Rather, he even pushed Auriel back for a moment.
And there were those who stood up together.
Clausolas glowed in Lucas’ hands.
Kamael unleashed the secret art of the Twelve Swords of Snow Flower.
Fran sang out loud, encouraging everyone’s strength, while Velkian distracted Auriel with his death magic.
And Lena reached out. She supported Landius’s back. She breathed new strength into his shattered body.
Auriel couldn’t understand the current situation.
I was bewildered by the sight of an unbreakable mortal.
I saw Landius through the Sword of Judgement, and my eyes widened without me realizing it.
The sun was rising.
The sun that rose behind Landius pushed away the blood-red sky and illuminated the world.
It was Cordelia.
She has manifested the power of the sun.
He summoned the sun to this land, which would finally drive away all despair and darkness.
Uther took Cordelia’s hand.
And I understood.
The reason why his own sun was pitch black.
The reason why he was able to fully master Kamael’s Twelve Swords despite clearly being powered by the sun.
limit.
That was the power that Uder himself was born with.
That is why Uther, as the patron deity of the Pleiades, took care of everything.
Instead of forcibly using the power of the Black Sun, he awakened his true power.
Black moon.
The essence of Uther himself, paired with Cordelia, the golden sun who holds extreme power.
The power of the sun and the moon became one between their interlocked hands.
The extremes of extremes and extremes have become one, creating infinite power.
Auriel felt the power.
I pushed Landius away with all my might. I scattered my light wings to blow away all the mortals around me, then looked at Uder and Cordelia.
The sun and the moon.
The sword of judgment was swung towards the thing that was just one step away from completion at the hands of the two people!
Clang!
But that couldn’t be done.
At that moment, chains wrapped around Auriel’s arms, daring to obstruct the god’s progress.
Kaisa and Scarlett held the chain together. The red wind wrapped around the chain with the power of Phoenix, briefly holding the archangel in place.
“Shoot!”
Lucas shouted and unfurled his Holy Cross Sword, cutting off Auriel’s power flowing back through the chains and causing it to explode.
And right after that.
At that very moment.
Auriel looked straight ahead.
I saw Uther and Cordelia.
I witnessed the two divine beings becoming one through the fingertips of the two people who held each other tightly, and thus being reborn with the power of divine destruction.
Auriel belatedly issued a statement.
The power of the god of destruction was so great that it was enough to inflict enormous damage even on Uther and Cordelia, who were generating power.
So you can twist it.
It can distort and self-destruct.
The ripples hit Uther and Cordelia.
But Uther and Cordelia did not break. They relied on each other and endured the power of destruction.
No, it wasn’t just the two of them.
The first Yuder smiled.
The second Uther and Cordelia laughed happily.
Everyone in the past supported Uther and Cordelia.
Quagaga-!
The Fairy King’s necklaces hanging around both of their necks broke at the same time.
That which had taken the brunt of the power of destruction scattered, and ripples rose again from the front.
Uther and Cordelia didn’t stop.
The power of destruction born from the fingertips of the two people rushed forward as a giant ball of light!
“Woooooooooo!”
All the moments that led to the two of us becoming who we are today.
The one and only miracle I was able to achieve because I never gave up!
“good!”
Landius shouted.
Everyone, including Lucas, prayed together.
Kwagagagagagagaga-!
The light of destruction broke the ripples. It advanced forward, slicing through Auriel’s wings that stretched out as if in a rage.
To prevent destruction.
To achieve a tomorrow different from yesterday.
The light of destruction engulfed Auriel.
Led to a new future.
