Chapter 280 The Era Ends! The Connection Between Heaven and Earth is Severed! [End of Volume]

Oman God.

He is a very, very ancient deity with many aliases. Believers are of all kinds, from good to evil. The sun god is not necessarily a benevolent deity; he may also be a deity who, like the sun, brings grace to countless people.

The core divine functions of the Omani gods are bureaucracy, contracts, law, order, the sun, and dominion.

When He was the god of law, His presence was stronger than that of the sun god.

However, the laws of the Omani gods were not intended to serve the common people, but rather to maintain royal power and rule. The execution grounds and prosecutor's offices established by the Gold Coast kingdoms were symbols of harsh laws, often used to suppress the people's spirit of resistance against the ruling power.

His followers are mainly distributed among the upper and middle classes of society, especially those who have power and can interfere in the making of laws.

In an Eastern way, it means "the law does not apply to officials and scholars," meaning that all commoners are treated equally.

The god Aman is the cornerstone of the entire Gold Coast's rule, and it is He who brought the Golden Law, which is far beyond the present era and can be compared to the laws of post-Christian empires. It doesn't matter whether those who believe in Him are good or evil, as long as they are not in the chaotic camp. To be more precise, there are often more politicians and bureaucrats who are lawful evil or neutral evil.

During the Dark Ages, after Aman defeated and devoured Amun, the Egyptian gods, led by Horus, submitted to him because his laws and order were perfectly suited to Horus's royal divine authority.

Thus, the entire Gold Coast governance system gradually took shape.

boom.

After mysterious runes appeared on Odin's spear, the sun's light dimmed considerably. The raging gods were still wavering at this moment. Their inherent chaotic nature prevented them from truly uniting. Whether facing the gods of the Gold Coast or now the convergence of the three gods, the raging gods could not make any decision.

The goddess Sulis revealed the face of Athena as the goddess of war, and the incarnation of the god Aman showed the image of a ruthless judge in the face of two equally powerful opponents.

His church is ruthless, and from top to bottom, it consists of the Arbitrator, Senior Arbitrator, Arbitrator, Guardian of the Law, Guardian of Order, and Sun Servant.

The god of Oman employed the divine authority of 'law'.

"You are guilty!"

As a majestic and deep voice resounded, the god Aman judged all people equally. Standing on the highest point of order and law, the phantom of the Golden Law appeared in his palm, and countless flying words transformed into the true words of law. It was as if he held the law of heaven in his mouth, judging everything including Odin, Athena, Duncan, and the will of heaven.

If I say you're guilty, then you're guilty!
Because the final interpretation of the law rests with Him, and He also possesses the laws of order, there is no doubt that Duncan's Great Expedition brought about temporary chaos.

A series of laws and mantras formed shackles, and relying on the power of order, they judged all living beings present as if it were the primordial order!
Within dimensional space.

The human host on the golden throne was instantly locked in by a series of negative status effects, and the golden throne beneath him also emitted a dazzling spiritual light. Then, the multiple domains attached to it were activated, including war, killing, plunder, spoils, glory, courage, loyalty, and so on.

The Golden Throne was built with gold offered by ten thousand valiant warriors, and it contains so many concepts.

Even those who offered gold claimed to be members of the Golden Family.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"You have been cast into the chaotic camp!...and are being judged by the forces of order!..."

"The damage from the God of Aman has been greatly amplified!..."

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"The priesthood of the law has judged you as a sinner. The God of Aman has the power to judge you, and whatever He says to you is regarded as the law and truth!"

"Your alignment has been forcibly anchored as a sinner of chaos and evil!"

Duncan was so angry he laughed!

His human form sat on the golden throne, gazing at the distant phantom in the sky, and slowly said, "I am guilty?!"

Even monotheistic religions aren't as arrogant as you.

Does saying I'm guilty make me guilty?

Duncan slowly rose to his feet, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back. Cracks appeared in the surrounding space, and countless laws and mantras became shackles to suppress and imprison him, trying to make him kneel down and confess his sins. But Duncan remained as steady as Mount Tai, breaking through the laws and mantras bit by bit with pure brute force. Then, a furious roar resounded through the sky.

"No one can judge me!"

"I!"

"It is also the embodiment of law and order!"

Fuck you!

Go to the toilet!
How dare they use their divine authority of law and order to judge him!

This is simply unreasonable!

The first human host formed a link with the current human host. The sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds obscured the sun. Duncan's imposing figure broke free from the constraints of the Lawful Mantra and stepped down from the golden throne. At the same time, his figure seemed to overlap with something, causing Odin and Athena, who were fighting against the gods of Aman in the distance, to turn their heads. The will of the heavens was overjoyed.

I need to poop!

The real deal has arrived!

With the blessing of Odin's Valhalla laws, Duncan directly descended to Earth using his first human form as a vessel. His figure stepped into the sky step by step, as if there were invisible stairs, and his size became larger and larger, eventually resembling the ancient Greek gods on Mount Olympus.

This is the form of divine power.

"I!"

"He is the King of Kings!"

"Also in charge of law, order, and royal power!!!"

Duncan's figure gradually transformed into a giant tens of meters tall, partly due to the blessing of the will of the heavens. The wrath of the heavens and the wrath of Sparta were burning simultaneously. His current mark was 'God Descending to Earth'. As he reached out to grab the dark clouds, the whole world seemed to be torn apart into nothingness.

—“The Oathkeeper [Artifact]!”

Duncan, in his giant form, reached out and grabbed at the sky. Amidst the churning, boiling clouds, an ordinary forged steel longsword shattered the void, descending upon this world as a conceptual entity, condensed from order, law, and monarchy, and bearing the name 'Oathkeeper'.

Duncan drew the Oathkeeper's sword from the shattered void, and in the instant he swung it, all laws and mantras—whether kingship, law, or order—were shattered.

Golden Law?

ridiculous!

He was the one who truly changed the times.

The laws of the divine domains clashed continuously, and Duncan revealed the face of the Oathkeeper. The clash between orders directly erased the mark of the 'sinner'.

No one can judge Him!

Oman is even less qualified!

If you want to put Duncan on trial, go ahead, let heaven and earth and all living beings come, let everything in the world come!

Only the masses of humanity can judge His guilt!
One chant after another rose up.

As the face of Oathkeeper Duncan appeared, a series of holy chants resounded above the churning clouds, reflecting the outline of the 'City of Seven Hills'. In the void, there seemed to be projections of angels and holy spirits. The Oathkeeper descended, shattering the void, and the laws reflected behind him, besides royal authority, also contained some symbols of monotheism.

Initially, it was just an ordinary forged steel longsword in the hands of the Hermitage.

A reflection of Avalon appeared.

One by one, the guardian goddesses gazed intently at the sky. They didn't know where it was or which other world it was, but they all stood up at the same time, pouring their power into it and transferring it into the other world, becoming part of Duncan's vast pool of divine power.

—"The Sword of Excalibur [The Holy Sword]!"

—"Guardian of Avalon!"

A series of protective auras appeared on Duncan's body, whether he needed them or not, the guardian fairies had already applied all the protective effects.

Their fates are intertwined; they share both glory and loss.

Golden armor plates appeared on Duncan's body, eventually materializing into a suit of golden armor that resembled that of an emperor.

He has always lacked a true divine artifact-level armor. This golden armor is the embodiment of the power that protects the fairies, and is itself a conceptualized protective ability.

—"Imperial Codex [Holy Relic]!"

Duncan opened his palm, revealing the Imperial Code he had drafted. It was the first legal text to approach the modern sense and the cornerstone of future modern law. It established human rights and freedoms, clearly marked the equality and universality of the law, and even nominally abolished slavery.

The legal provisions, written as mantras, directly shattered the golden law of Aman, breaking all the shackles of the divine authority of law.

At this moment, even the furious waves on the distant sea were stunned!

“I knew he couldn’t be an ordinary person!…” Ms. Nutao murmured.

The raging gods were shaken.

Duncan's current display of control over law, order, and royal power is in no way inferior to that of the Oman god before him. This is the foundation of the King of Kings, the condensation of centuries of imperial destiny, and even some of the laws of the Egyptian gods have been suppressed.

After all, how could Duncan be called the King of Kings if he didn't conquer Egyptian civilization?
"What a laughable monarchy!"

"What a ridiculous law!"

"A king must have the responsibility and magnanimity of a king to lead people through hardships and usher in a new era."

"Instead of using laws and royal power to maintain rule and suppress people's resistance!"

The empire collapsed.

Instead, it brought Duncan true kingship, law and order. He clearly had the ability to force its continuation, but he chose to respect history and let the times move forward.

Because a true king must learn to delegate power; power is merely a tool, and a king is not a slave to power.

If he had learned from the Omani gods, the empire could have lasted for at least a thousand years.

Duncan pulled out the Oathkeeper.

Cut it off with one sword!
Click.

As if the void had shattered, the protective powers that enveloped the golden city, including those derived from law, order, and royalty, all crumbled. The once-shining golden city seemed to lose its brilliance in an instant, and cracks appeared on the golden law in the city's central square.

The wonder shattered. The Golden Law left behind by the god Aman collapsed with a deafening roar, and the concept of law in the entire world took another step forward, with a new legal realm taking shape.

The law does not exist to judge the lower classes.

One sword breaks all laws!

No matter how many laws and mantras the god of Oman possessed, no matter how many legal provisions the god of Oman promulgated, Duncan, as a sworn brother, shattered them all with a single sword.

Everything from the old era was shattered.

All the laws of the human world, all the manifested decrees, will be ground to dust, and the future laws of humanity will enter a new chapter.

He defines royal power.

He will be responsible for promulgating the legal code.

He grants the personal freedom that the God of Oman dared not grant, and he judges the monarchical rule that the God of Oman dared not judge. The meaning of the law is to protect the weak and restrict the strong.

Otherwise, what's the point of laws in this world?
In his pursuit of judicial reform, Duncan beheaded countless powerful figures, conservatives, and privileged individuals, and today all of that has translated into his control over the legal field.

In short, Duncan will take care of everything, whether Oman dares to or not.

Law is the cornerstone of empire.

Without a truly comprehensive legal code, how could an empire have maintained its rule for hundreds of years?

The code promulgated by Duncan even suppressed royal power.

Judicial reform must begin with a self-inflicted wound, because the king enjoys the greatest privileges.

Rumble!
All the divine gifts of the Golden City were erased; it lost its radiant glow and became an ordinary, fortified city.

Order and order.

Law and law.

Royal power and royal power.

Duncan raised the Oathkeeper and pointed it at the god of Aman before him, slowly saying, "You are guilty!!!"

—The King's Judgment!
Duncan, as the King of Kings and with the authority of an earthly emperor, judges the god of Oman before him.

His words are golden law, his pronouncements carry the weight of heavenly authority.

The laws of the world trembled, and under the utterly astonished gazes of the many gods, even the radiance surrounding the god Aman dimmed.

This is the fundamental law of the world that acknowledges Duncan's trial.

They believe that the Omani god is guilty!
However, no one, not even a god, had ever dared to say it before. But when Duncan, as the living God of War, judged the god of Oman in the name of order, law, and monarchy, the world immediately responded.

Rumble!
The phantom of the god Aman seemed to have fallen from its pedestal, and a blurry outline visible to the naked eye actually appeared.

The god of Aman, who ended the Dark Ages, became a conservative in this era.

The power of the mythical age is trembling.

Duncan's judgment of the god Aman, as the supreme being among humankind, also signifies the gradual passing of the age of gods and the impending end of the mythological era.

God has had his last fig leaf torn away.

—Sever the connection between heaven and earth!
Duncan swings his sword.

Shatter reality.

By severing mythology and ending an era through the Oath Keeper, he not only limited the gods' power to interfere in the real world, but also inflicted a blow on himself, severely damaging the War God status he had condensed and the living War God. This meant that once he became a god, he would be immediately rejected by the real world and forced to leave the material world.

Become a god in the flesh!
This battle is his ascension ceremony as the God of War. In the name of the God of War, he will sever the connection between heaven and earth, cut off the powerful interference of the gods in the real world, and return the entire material plane to mortals.

When Duncan gets ruthless, he'll cut himself first.

This knife goes down.

The age of mortals has truly arrived, and the age of mythology has become history. Although supernatural powers still exist, it is no longer so easy for the gods to issue divine pronouncements.

From this day forward, any god who wants to descend to the mortal realm and interfere with reality will have to get past him first.

Duncan's move struck at the heart of the mythical era.

An era in which humans and gods coexisted.

From this moment on, it became history.

Odin's phantom remained silent. When this emperor was enraged, he was still so domineering. With this strike, even if he had gained a foothold in this world, he would no longer be able to interfere with reality at will.

Athena's darkened appearance was calm; the realm she governed was more suited to the civilized era after the end of the mythological age.

This sword strike, with its supreme status among mortals, cleaved the boundary between humans and gods.

As the mighty army began its siege of the Golden City, the heavily wounded god of Aman revealed his true form as the sun god. Since law and order could not subdue Duncan, he could only rely on the power of the sun to crush these enemies.

—Horus (God of Kingship and Fury)!
On the walls of the Golden City, Prames' figure froze in place. Horus descended into reality using him as a vessel, but after the fusion, an instantaneous change occurred. Horus seemed to be corrupted, and his eyes turned into a bloodthirsty and brutal light.

Jie Jie.

Set's phantom appeared; He had finally waited for this moment. The pawn Horus left on earth had become a divine evil that would turn against Him.

However, before His avatar could even rejoice, it was pierced by a blood-red spear. As the Celtic runes lit up, the blood-red spear vanished on the spot and returned to the user's hand.

boom!
Duncan entered his human cannon mode, surrounded by Celtic runes, and his cursed spear shattered the city gate.

He tore down the entire city wall of the Golden City as if he were a god descending to earth.

This battle.

He will crush all enemies equally!
Just as Duncan withdrew the cursed spear, Odin's phantom drew a greatsword, the legendary greatsword of the giants. His face, along with that of the goddess Sulis, forced the god Aman into the sanctuary. Then, a spear pierced through the air and landed in Duncan's palm.

—Gungnir, the Spear of Odin!
Since Duncan was going to go this far, then He would do him a favor.

With this gun, I will pierce through destiny!

Duncan reached out and grasped Odin's Spear. He seemed to have seen this scene before, during the final moments of the Battle of Heaven, when Odin seemed to have done something similar.

Gungnir fell into his palm.

Duncan's aura surged wildly, shattering all the shackles of fate and piercing the laws of the gods. Ancient runes were engraved on the tip of his gun, and the shaft was forged from branches of the World Tree.

This weapon is far superior to any weapon Duncan possesses.

Rumble!
Blood-red lightning streaked across the sky. As the walls of the Golden City collapsed, divine avatars appeared behind Duncan. The phantom of the Feathered Serpent God swept through the air, while the White Horse God and the Eagle God battled the beast-headed, human-bodied gods. Duncan, like a god descending to earth, stormed into the Golden City.

The setting sun weeps blood.

This was a catastrophe for humanity, but also the beginning of a new era.

When the statue of the Omani god finally collapsed along with the temple pyramid, the laws of the entire world were thrown into turmoil, and the mythological era came to an end in Duncan's hands.

The world was isolated from each other.

Humans and gods dwell together.

After an unknown amount of time, on the dilapidated city wall, Hyjal, holding Prames's hideous head, stared at the setting sun in the sky, speechless for a long time.

He placed Prames' head on the ground.

Then, Hyjal picked up his wine jug and drank alone under the blood-red setting sun. The age of mythology ended, but the path to godhood was not severed. What was severed was the gods' powerful interference in the real world.

Duncan has overturned the entire chessboard of humanity, and now the gods can only seek a proxy.

After a long time.

Hyjal picked up his grandfather's broken battle axe and left without looking back, abandoning everything he once had.

The axe was ruined, and he wanted to find a dwarf to reforge it, preparing to use the fragments to forge a greatsword.

The barbarians watched Hyjal's departing figure.

Crete wanted to say something, but Ugal stopped him. He stared at Hyjal's retreating figure and slowly shook his head, saying, "Let him go."

"His glory is different from ours."

A few years later.

A new god has emerged, and Hyjal, carrying his grandfather's greatsword, begins his adventures wandering the world.

This time, no one could control his fate.

Even his nominal father, the God of Power - Kord, had his interference with the real world severed by that man.

That man used Gungnir to break through the gods' control over fate.

The age of God has come to an end.

The age of humanity has arrived.

The Golden Family roamed the grasslands, inscribing the names of the warriors who offered their gold, and thus becoming a part of future history as the Golden Family.

At this point, the gods' influence over the real world is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

Humanity has bid farewell to the era of 'asking about ghosts and gods instead of the common people'.
