The Sun - Lord of Mysteries (fanfiction)

Chapter 151: Singularity

Fear engulfed the hearts of Alitsa and Solomon, as their eyes filled with haze and their minds flashed with the memories of past humiliation.

"Pathetic!" A mad voice roared in their minds, filled with an aura of degeneration. It shattered the fear, freeing their minds from the aura of Aucuses. "It is just the tyrannical aura of Aucuses! Yet you both nearly succumbed to it. Why don't you already go and kneel in front of him?"

Solomon's face twisted in anger and shame, while Alitsa kept his indifference. However, his tightening grip on his sword, which almost made his knuckles white, told a completely different story.

They didn't dare direct the volcanic anger at that voice, turning towards Aucuses, who was smiling, his eyebrows fluttering amusedly.

"Well. Well." Aucuses jested, his spear pointed at the Black Emperor. "Look at the sight. The virtuous emperor has sided with his traitor, who backstabbed him for the world to see. It seems, Solomon, from the beginning, you were all talk."

The Black Emperor's eyes filled with rage, raising a twisted inverse scale in his hand that gleamed in his black chaotic darkness. "I shall not have my honour questioned by anyone, especially you, the fallen angel of the creator!"

Aucuses laughed, his hand covering his face and shaking his head with sheer amusement.

"I am not questioning your honour, Solomon."

"I am denying its existence."

His voice thundered throughout the astral world within the barrier, bringing silence with it. Alitsa Tudor's indifferent countenance finally collapsed, while Solomon's figure quivered, emanating infinite streaks of chaotic darkness.

Crack! Crack!

The reality around Solomon began to crack with a thunder. It spread from the battlefield, instantly spanning most of the space between Earth and Venus, like a broken mirror.

Aucuses raised his hand. A blot of white lightning zapped into existence, pulsating with sheer power to destroy an entire star system.

Alitsa unsheathed his blazing sword, assuming his combat stance, his eyes darting across the cracked battlefield for Earth Mother.

"Aucuses!" Solomon roared, his scale raised high in the cracking reality. The authority of disorder was unleashed upon reality without resistance. "Face my judgement!"

Surprisingly, the cracked reality didn't collapse into chaos. But, something emerged from deep within, a dreadful aura erupting. It was first a black dot. Even in the darkness of space, it was clearly visible, standing out. The black dot began to 'twist' on itself, the very cracked fabric of reality also distorted with it, as if resonating with it.

Aucuses' face went solemn, the blot of the white lightning emitting a blinding light, as he began to pour more of his power into the blot. The blinding light illuminated the entire solar system, even beyond, in an instant.

Meanwhile, time and space began to twist in the black dot. Matter was crushed into infinite density, and the pull of gravity became infinitely strong, tearing apart all the material laws in reality. Finally, it began to expand, like a dark beast of judgement, engulfing and tearing everything in its path.

"You can't stop it!" The Black Emperor bellowed. "The Creator called it a singularity. Space. Reality. They, too, are powerless against its fangs. Compared to that, what is Light? Sun? Lightning? Nothing."

"This is the graveyard of the universe. It is now also your graveyard. Fall into eternal chaos, Aucuses!"

He waved his hand down. The black hole moved, surging towards Aucuses. Everything was torn apart in its path. The solar system has already plunged into absolute chaos; reality within the barrier has been torn asunder, unveiling the starless void. Pandemonium consumed it all. Only the authority of Artisan and Herabergan protected the planets from getting affected by the war.

Despite facing the singularity, Aucuses spread his hands back, his eyes calm. The blot on the hand cracked into volatile power. The black hole was heading closer and closer, yet he still didn't attack. His figure became blurry.

Aucuses suddenly gave a nod. In that instant, Lilith emerged from the concealment, descending on the side of him, her palms pointing at the heralding black hole.

At the same moment, Alitsa, who had been waiting, appeared right behind Lilith, his blazing crimson sword stabbing, aiming at her undefended back.

But, something appeared in his path with a burst of twilight: a colossal giant in silver armour, holding a gargantuan orange sword.

The sunset giant dragged his sword with his long hand and clashed with his crimson sword. A burst of waning light and dreary fire erupted as they were hurdled away from the main battlefield, leaving Lilith and Aucuses alone.

At this moment, Lilith pointed her palms at the black hole heading for her love. Her palm glowed green, as her authority over life was exerted.

Suddenly, the black hole stopped in the path, completely breaking free from the control of the Black Emperor, making him grunt in pain.

With a roar, numerous black tentacles extended out of the singularity, as the infinite pull of gravity was exerted on reality unrestrainedly.

Lilith, Earth Mother, granted life to the black hole, allowing it to escape the control of the Black Emperor. However, it also completely unleashed the singularity upon the astral world. If not stopped, it will begin to infinitely expand, consuming everything.

Seeing this, Aucuses hurdled the blot of golden lightning high up. It branched and forked above him, unveiling a golden, luminescent tree.

It was the Golden Order!

But a weakened golden order cannot deal with the black hole at all, unless

A bronze beam of light cascaded before the Golden Order. Out of it came Trunsoest, the night emperor, dressed in his majestic royal robes, holding an inverse scale in his hand.

The Night Emperor raised his scales high. His authority of order erupted, combining with the golden order.

Suddenly, a huge inverted cross rose near Aucuses and Trunsoest, dwarfing everything. There was a hanged man nailed to it. His closed eye opened, revealing a deep black pupil.

Immediately, a boundless black ocean erupted from him, filled with filth and mire, emitting a terrifying aura of degeneration. The ocean surged with massive waves, rolling towards Aucuses and Trunsoest.

A cluster of wheat sprouted up around the boundary between Aucuses and Turnoest. Flowers, mushrooms, and trees were also among them. They intertwined with each other, layer by layer, forming a natural barrier to protect them.

Immediately following that, an illusory white tower appeared. Every level was made up of thick books. Each book had a brass eye on it. The higher one went, the darker it got. It was filled with the aura of insanity, destruction, inauspiciousness, and disaster.

It extended into the starless void, encompassing the hanged man and the black ocean, temporarily sealing them within it.

Inside the natural barrier, Trunsoest and Aucuses exchanged glances and began combining their authorities. Their hands pointed at the ever-expanding Black Hole.

The luminescent tree shimmered as golden circles of light formed before it, which intersected with each other, forming a symbol of a gigantic ring that encompassed the entire golden tree within it.

Click!

A sound was heard. It was something that fell right into place, combining something with another. It was the Orders of Aucuses and Trunsoest. The principles and composition of both orders were perfectly compatible with each other. There was no rejection at all. For a moment, it looked as if they were originally meant to be one rather than two, and now they have combined to attain their true form.

Meanwhile, Solomon was in absolute panic, feeling the volatile power of the order. Chaos sprung from him, trashing against the natural barrier in an attempt to completely destroy it. He even twisted the concept of life to make the barrier wither away.

But it was useless; the plants and trees kept sprouting and growing infinitely, replacing all the fallen ones under the assault of chaos. The natural barrier still stood mightily, protecting Aucuses.

He looked to the sides: Alitsa and Badhiel were still battling each other, while Herabergan sealed Sasrir temporarily, and the singularity was still expanding.

"Salinger!" Solomon roared, his eyes desperately looking for the last hope. However, only the cold darkness of the Astral World greeted him; there was no hope.

Boom!

Suddenly, the natural barrier collapsed with a burst of golden light, illuminating the solar system and nearby star systems in a fraction of a second.

Out of it came Trunsoest, pointing at the expanding black hole, snapping his fingers. The terrifying authority of order erupted, shrouding the ethereal river of time. Under the will of Trunsoest, the order of flow was altered to flow backwards.

The ever-expanding black hole froze as the might of time and order shrouded it. The singularity was completely suppressed under their combined power.

The river of time began to flow backwards. The singularity shrank back to a dot in a second.

Then it was gone, lost in the ethereal flow of time.
