Chapter 1254  Decent Of Another Will Of The Divine Mysteries

Zera, however, seized the opportunity to introduce herself to each of them.

Ilse watched this happen but pretended she hadn't seen anything, swiftly vanishing and returning to the Golden Palace. This caused Zera to exhale in relief and feel more confident that these women were her only opportunity to learn more about Paradise and Orion.

After learning about her identity, which they all seemed to know, they welcomed her. Zera accompanied them back into the Golden Palace. ...

Outside Paradise's dimension, On the territory overrun with bizarre and monstrous entities formed from Vylkr energy and spectral beings, a radiant ray of light emerged from a ripple in the darkened sky above the Vylkr infested territory. Countless translucent shards, suspended high above the territory, reflected the light. A sphere emerged from the ray of light, and a humanoid entity began to form within it. The figure rapidly grew until it resembled an eleven-year-old human or Prismerion in size. The sphere broke apart and dissolved into countless flickers of light, disappearing into the thin air.

The humanoid entity was revealed, 'its' body radiating with an intense brilliance. The light was so dazzling that anyone without divine protection could not gaze directly upon it. Even powerful divines could suffer harm simply from staring at it unless the entity willed otherwise.

This being was none other than a Will of the Divine Mysteries!

As the 'Will' descended upon the monstrous-infested land, the translucent shards parted momentarily before returning to their previous positions after its descent. A massive Vylkr monstrosity, resembling a quadrupedal beast the size of four mountains, with immense wings spanning kilometres, was drawn to the life force radiating from the 'Will' and soared toward it, seeking to consume it. Several other from three to four stars Vylkr monstrosities, all varying in size, followed, hoping to devour the life force for themselves.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries raised its hand, and a brilliant glow emerged from its palm, transforming into a ray of light that shot forward. In an instant, the ray of light wiped out a vast portion of the Vylkr monstrosities at the centre of the infested territory. The landscape appeared as though it had been smoothed by the sheer force of the attack.

However, moments later, the Vylkr monstrosities began to reform rapidly from the land. The Will of the Divine Mysteries seemed unbothered by this and turned its attention elsewhere. Its focus shifted toward a particular direction near the edge of a gaping hole in the earth, where similar Vylkr monstrosities and spectral entities gathered.

The 'Will' vanished from its spot and reappeared before the anomaly. It extended 'its' hand, colliding against a ripple in space that emerged out of nowhere, blocking its path. The 'Will' pressed its hand harder against the ripple, causing the brilliance in its hand to intensify. The ripple vibrated violently as their collision caused the surrounding space to crack and collapse, only to swiftly reform. Despite the destruction around it, the ripple remained untouched.

Each descent of the Will of the Divine Mysteries into the material world served a specific purpose, and once that purpose was fulfilled, it would return to the Divine Mysteries. That included this 'Will.' However, with its task obstructed, the Will repeatedly sent rays of light toward the ripple, hoping to break through. Though the space rippled intensely, it remained unbroken. At the same time, the monstrous land around it bore the brunt of the 'Will's' attacks, breaking down and reforming as the destruction continued.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries was undeterred and placed its hand on the rippled space again; the brilliance on its right hand steadily intensified, causing greater destruction across the land.

Meanwhile, the luminescent shards suspended in the sky vibrated, isolating the destruction within the Vylkr infested territory and preventing it from spilling over into the surrounding areas. From outside the shard barrier, it appeared as though the space within was warped, flickering between light and darkness in rapid succession.

…....…

Within the void, a humanoid entity made entirely of light emerged, resembling the Will of the Divine Mysteries that could freely enter and exit Paradise's dimension to speak with Orion and the others. 'It' gazed through the void at the destruction caused by another Will of the Divine Mysteries attempting to break through the barrier protecting Paradise's realm from the outside realm.

Unfortunately, the efforts of the other 'Will' were in vain. The newly emerged Mysteries was no longer some weak entity that could only take over a pocket dimension; it was an entity that could create its own entire realm. It had also strengthened its barrier, protecting the entrance to an unfathomable degree and preventing any leakage between realms. This entrance, however, was the only bridge from which the residents of Paradise could emerge. Unless they had a way to protect themselves from the attacks of a Will of the Divine Mysteries, which was impossible unless the new Mysteries itself chose to intervene. However, such intervention would risk exposing the new Mysteries to an attack by the Divine Mysteries and eroding away its realm. This means that they were effectively trapped within their own realm.

"I warned them, but they failed to listen. Once they understand the kind of mess they're in and come calling for my help to search for an alternative, I'll strike another bargain that will yield even greater rewards in the future. Maybe I'll even acquire a few universes where I can relax from all of this," the Will of the Divine Mysteries said, chuckling softly.

It was fully aware of its own uniqueness. It knew that Orion and the others had likely figured out how different it was from the other Wills of the Divine Mysteries they had encountered. This would make them more inclined to continue doing business with it until they could unravel its mysteries. But that was impossible; not even another 'Will' or a newly emerged Mysteries could fathom its true intentions.

The Will of the Divine Mysteries turned its gaze toward another direction in the void. Myriads of information began to flow in from the near and distant corners of the world, as various beings, weak and mighty, approached this territory cautiously.

"I'll wait and see how long they last," the Will of the Divine Mysteries said with a chuckle before floating in a particular direction in the void and vanishing.

…....…

Within Paradise,

The news that the Supreme Leader had taken another wife, who immediately ascended to divinity after their engagement ceremony, spread across the entire dimension. Many began to revere Orion as a unique divine being among the divine, capable of raising divine beings at will. Others, who had hoped to join the Supreme Leader's household, became even more determined to do so. At the same time, they understood that catching the Supreme Leader's favour would require incredible luck. Even if they couldn't achieve this dream themselves, they would ensure their descendants had a chance by earning the favour of any of the Supreme Leader's many descendants.

In the Border Cities, betting resumed on who and when the women of Orion's household would bear children.

Several individuals had already grown wealthy from such bets, so it quickly garnered attention within Paradise, with even warriors participating to secure more Paradise credits once they were released.

Meanwhile, within the Golden Palace, the Centaur race celebrated one of their own, joining the Supreme Leader's household. Though they knew that Paradise valued only those who proved their worth, they were confident this event would grant their race a foothold within Paradise.

Those aware of Evaline's identity flocked to the Midnight Butcher Bar but were held back by the warriors stationed there the night before. Nevertheless, a grander celebration was held in the area, drawing attention and spreading more information about Evaline's previous identity, causing her reputation to soar.

Alongside the celebration of the newly ascended goddess, Paradise bustled with festivities and merriment.

In the blink of an eye, divine beings, who were once considered sacred and mere legends only mentioned in books, became common topics of conversation.

...

At the Midnight Butcher Bar,

"Can't you stay longer?" Karensa asked, gazing at her aunt with a pleading expression. Who wouldn't want to spend time with a literal goddess who also happened to be family?

Her eyes occasionally shifted to the man standing beside her, trying to discern what made him so special.

"I have some tasks to take care of. I'll visit you when I'm done. If I don't come, you can find me at the Golden Palace in the city," Evaline said with a smile.

Though Karensa wasn't sure what kind of tasks her aunt had to handle just after ascending to divinity, she knew it wasn't her place to ask.

Karensa nodded in response. "Alright, if you don't visit, then I'll come to the castle to see you," she said, her tone firm.

"Please, take care of my aunt, Supreme Leader," Karensa said, bowing her head in Orion's direction.

"She's in good care. You don't need to worry. As she said, you're welcome to visit the Golden Palace anytime if you miss her," Orion replied with a smile.

Karensa returned his smile, nodding in understanding.

In an instant, Orion and Evaline vanished into thin air, leaving her alone in the empty room.
