Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Beams criss-crossed, plasma splashed... The earth trembled incessantly, and the hot wind howled, turning into a hurricane.

Even the "sky" in the underground space was gradually boiling, heated by artillery fire, lasers, and plasma, making one almost suspect that the metal dome above might collapse.

The adventurers gaped in shock, already numb, unable to remember how many rounds the artillery positions within the [Witchcraft Garden] had fired.

They only knew that at this moment, within a range of tens of kilometers on the other side, the primary targets like the Magic Element Light River, mountains and hills, glowing plants, and various sizes of "Energy-devouring Beasts" had mostly turned to dust under the concentrated fire of the [Starry Sky].

The craters before them were already a hundred times denser than the lunar surface's craters!

"Hmm, the effect of the first actual combat is not bad."

Quite satisfied with the initial battle results of the [Starry Sky], Aiven brushed away the smoky scent around him and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snap—!

The endless rumble began to gradually subside.

Even though their armory could achieve a full supply chain self-sufficiency, with raw materials fully supplied by their duchy's territory.

The logistic consumption in this battle alone was enough to wage a high-intensity localized war between countries.

However, Aiven gently patted the longsword at his waist and chuckled.

No matter how expensive it was, it was far cheaper than wielding the [Libra Balance Holy Sword] again.

As they say, hmm, there's no middleman making a profit!

As the dust in their vision gradually cleared.

The "Moon God" was locked in the "National Domain" of [Eye of Profound Wisdom] and [Forbidden Curse], with no chance to initiate [Mind Transmission], and remained at the very center of the artillery strike range.

However, this "Moon God" still bore the title of "God". Despite the entire body being tattered, it hadn't died yet.

Crackle...

Sparks from psychic abilities flickered on its body. It wobbled back into the air, once again linking the surviving "Energy-devouring Beasts" hiding in corners into a whole.

Yet.

The grayish-white tumor on its neck had already collapsed halfway, with red light material continuously seeping out, making it hard to say how much combat power remained.

It first turned away from Aiven's group, only to react after a while, shaking its head to slowly face the correct direction.

This old relic, lagging 1.5 million years behind the times in a closed space, was clearly stunned by the [Starry Sky].

However...

At the very moment it turned around.

Whoosh—!

A golden spear of unparalleled power pierced through the sky, flashing over.

The profound hunger instantly dissipated, and fear from deep within the biology's bloodline quickly dominated the heart of this "God".

That is... the [Golden Holy Spear · Lance]!

In the [Talent Magic: Perfect Angel] form, Angie could weaponize herself, becoming not just a targeted supernatural power but also a solid holy spear akin to a divine soldier.

It can counteract all materials and abilities produced by life itself, regarded as the strongest weapon against barriers, mental barriers, witchcraft shields, and living flesh.

Additionally, collecting the "Golden Chains" from the "Thousand-Faced Moon" greatly enhanced the completion degree of [Lance], making its power incomparable to before.

At this moment.

Backed by Aiven's [Divinity] power, it launched its final killing blow!

Squish!

The [Mental Barrier], reconstructed after endless artillery baptisms, was like paper before the [Lance].

Immediately, the gigantic tumor-like head of the "Moon God" was pierced by a golden line, with red light material spraying out as if it didn't cost money.

Clefts began to swiftly spread from the wound.

It was then.

The consciousness belonging to that "Pioneer" momentarily regained clarity after crossing millions of years.

Turning towards Herag Star, it let out one last cry before descending into madness:

"Catrio's Wheel! A dead end! Catri..."

Crack!

Before the sound finished, it shattered like a mirror.

Everyone silently watched the fragments of the "Moon God" scatter.

To be honest, this wasn't a hated enemy, just a pitiful person who didn't want to die yet couldn't live.

Also... a dead end?

A word stored in the soul for a million years—what kind of resentment and unwillingness is that?

Aiven sighed deeply, gestured with his hand, and the [Golden Holy Spear] dispersed into golden vapors before returning to his hand.

And Angie reverted to her form with three pairs of white wings.

"Teacher, here you go."

The girl blinked her silver eyes and presented a glorious golden light point in her palm to Aiven, like showing off a treasure—it was the [Divinity] belonging to the "Moon God".

Though like Aiven, it possessed just two complete units, by standard, it didn't reach the demigod's three points, and this "Pseudo-God" didn't even have a "Mythical Form".

"Well done, Angie!"

After praising, Aiven carefully stored away the two points of "Moon God" [Divinity] in his hand.

Generally speaking,

[Divinity] is like the organs of other creatures; obtaining it may not guarantee successful fusion, and even if it is fused, there may still be rejection reactions.

The most common application of such immortal matter is just to forge [Titled Sacred Artifact].

However, Aiven thought of someone who might be very compatible with this chaotic and numerous chaotic rules contained [Divinity]...

Perhaps they could truly fuse it, becoming an immortal [Divine Creature]!

"Speaking of which, it seems like there's nothing that can be called a 'Wheel' here."

After clearing the way of ferocious tigers, the group looked around, and there was no [Catrio's Wheel] or even any artificial traces to be found.

And with the "Moon God" and Its [Dream Realm] no longer obstructing, Aiven's power could also extend outward.

While no other anomalies were present, he discovered that the deep seams throughout this underground space continued downward, seemingly leading to the deeper parts of the planet.

"Do we really have to delve deeper into this planet? But I feel underfoot..."

After listening to Aiven's description, Milan was about to take out the Crystal Ball for divination again.

"No, we've actually found it."

Always keeping the [Eye of Profound Wisdom] active, Aiven stopped Milan's actions, and suddenly looked up at the silver-white alloy dome above.

"Just because we are in this mountain!"

Prompted by his reminder, the others' eyes widened abruptly.

"You mean..."

...

Whoosh!

A shimmering light point streaked through the pitch-black space, darting toward that beautiful blue planet.

The expressions of everyone on the bridge were far from pleasant.

Simply because Milan's previous prophecy of the [Righteous Moon] had once again come true, bafflement, confusion, and unease, and the answers from the Moon weren't what they desired indeed.

What was called [Catrio's Wheel], in fact, was the ring-shaped dome inside the Moon that encompassed the whole planet, a relic of the super ancient "Primordial Civilization."

Walking along the path, they weren't surprised by the numerous signs of advanced civilizations left on the Moon; only such powerful civilizations would have the right to leave what's called "Vitality."

[Civilization Relic: Catrio's Wheel]

Effect: Time, space, matter, and energy are led and transformed by it.

In straightforward terms, it provides energy and matter, and [Catrio's Wheel] can send you to any corner of the universe, but the destination is entirely random.

The so-called "Vitality" is:

As long as humanity spreads among the stars, connecting different regions of the boundless world "Spirit Realm" through a "Collective Unconscious Ocean," they can withstand impacts unharmed during the "Spirit Realm" tide.

The "Ark Plan" of the Muriyan Civilization apparently had such considerations.

"Interstellar migration of civilizations?"

Aiven couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

No wonder the "Moon God" would say it's a dead-end because it's indeed too difficult.

Even for Aiven, who has the ability of interstellar navigation, there is only the [Gem River] space battleship, when can it possibly proliferate into an interstellar colonization fleet?

No wonder the gods of various previous eras did not take this path.

Because it is a road prepared for mortals, meant to endure calamities through collective means, perhaps in some future era, when human civilization has already advanced into space, it will be truly activated.

For human civilization now, it's somewhat too early.

However.

Regardless, the Moon counts as a resource-rich and auspicious place, perhaps allowing the [Gem River] to nurture the first "child battleship" at the fastest pace.

Boom!

Just as the [Gem River] was re-entering the atmosphere.

"Hmm, a reply?"

Aiven suddenly received a Spirit Realm Communication.

Previously, Bach and his niece Clémentine Bach had brought back the tenth Golden Compass for Aiven, along with news of demons from the lower realm of Atlant.

Especially the demon tainted by a Great Knight was indeed unusual,

Aiven had also written to his friend Bertram Solomon asking for reasons.

The higher the level, the more one understands the levels of the Wizards, and Aiven had long confirmed from the Goddess that the ancestors of the Tyrone Kingdom's Solomon Clan, the world's first Solomon, had indeed successfully advanced to [Truth Embodiment] (Chapter 258)

Completed the school's ultimate knowledge [Summoning Demon Pillar], able to leverage the power of many Upper Demon Gods by paying some cost.

Regarding the research of lower-level demons and those Demon Gods, no one can match Solomon.

However, Aiven was surprised to find that the one replying to him wasn't Bertram, but his mysterious ancestor who was seen occasionally like a miraculous dragon.

The reply was only a short sentence:

"Your Majesty Galliot, the Era Catastrophe is not only confined to the Material World, prepare... to welcome chaos!"
