After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

It came to an abrupt end before it even began.

"Leviathan..."

"It no longer exists?"

The twilight giant's soliloquy carried an air of disbelief and disbelief.

It was not simply destruction—

If it were merely a simple fall, then even if every piece of that colossus's flesh were shattered into its most basic constituent particles...

However, the Twilight Giants can still rely on the remaining information about Leviathan to completely resurrect it...

Just as even after the false gods have fallen, they can still return from the astral plane.

But, at this moment——

The Twilight Giants, however, could not detect the slightest information belonging to "Leviathan".

Occasionally, the Twilight Giant, through its connection as the creator of Leviathan, could even sense Leviathan's life force fluctuations...

However, whenever He tries to communicate through the connection between the Creator and His creations... He only receives the response of annihilation.

That colossal warrior seemed to be simultaneously in a superposition of death and life...

No matter how hard the god of war tried, he could not touch the truth that was obscured by illusion.

This was something the war god had never experienced in his almost endless lifespan...

Even with the insight of a deity, no reasonable explanation could be found for this phenomenon.

.......

"Who did it?"

The roar of the twilight giant echoed through the empty bronze palace.

The giant stepped down from the throne...

Then, step by step, He walked to the edge of the bronze palace, and with His eyes, which seemed to freeze the twilight, looked down at the mortal world below the void.

The loss of a mere colossus is... not a big deal to the God of War.

What He cared more about was the meaning behind this event.

This means that... in this plane that He was originally certain to have, and was determined to obtain,... there have been unexpected variables...

The God of War has been planning for the Silver World for a long time and has invested a great deal of resources; he will not allow any failure.

A dim, divine power surged from the giant's fingertips.

From the bronze palace, one after another, ferocious beastly auras carrying an ancient and primordial presence soared into the sky.

These are all "servants of the gods" who once conquered countless planes for the God of War...

What was previously deployed to the surface was merely a tiny fraction of the army possessed by the God of War.

Even after completely rousing its army from its slumber, the Twilight Giants did not cease their actions.

His gaze slowly fell upon the void beyond... among the indistinct palaces.

The dim, divine power shot towards the palaces.

If possible... then the God of War would naturally want to monopolize all the benefits of the entire Silver World.

However... now that unexpected variables have emerged.

So--

Even if you promise other gods some of the benefits of this world, you must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The war god had a premonition...

If only we could seize all the possibilities for the future of this world...

Then...he might be able to take that final step on the path to godhood.

To become truly omnipotent—

It exists perfectly.

For this supreme goal, everything is a bargaining chip that can be sacrificed.

.......

Inside the Silver Holy City, suspended in the sky.

In Ciel's eyes...

The previously surging lightning was gradually dissipating.

High above the Holy City...

The thick, dark clouds had begun to slowly dissipate, revealing the beautiful blue sky above them once more.

Within Xiaer's spiritual ocean... the surging lightning had slowly subsided.

Instead, there are lines of complex data streams...

That was feedback data collected by the mental energy used to observe when Charles released the forbidden spell "Ball Lightning".

Then, he devoted most of his mental energy to analyzing the feedback data streams.

That "lightning storm," which surpassed the specifications of ordinary forbidden spells, was merely a casual act by Ciel to demonstrate his power...

But the seemingly insignificant ball lightning that followed was what Xia Er was really focused on.

A moment later...

The surging data stream in Charles's eyes gradually subsided, and his preliminary analysis of the feedback data came to an end.

He allocated the spare computing power in his mental ocean to the subsequent arcane model deduction process, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since learning the truth about the path to godhood from Vimers, and the enemies the Western Continent is about to face...

Charles has been researching and preparing for this ever since...

The adversary is a deity whose very life essence has undergone a leap, capable of returning infinitely from the astral plane...

This means that forbidden spells designed solely for the pursuit of pure destructive power, such as the "Sword of Damocles" and "Nuclear Explosion Magic," are somewhat mismatched with their intended purpose.

Even if the projection is completely shattered, the false gods can still return... It's meaningless except for buying some time.

More than just destructive power...

At this moment, what Charles needs is actually a devastating blow to concepts and forms of existence...

Based on macro-electrons and quantum theory, the forbidden spell "Ball Lightning," created by Ciel, was one of Ciel's attempts—

So far, the results seem to be quite good.

"From a practical standpoint... the 'Ball Lightning' achieved its intended effect... successfully transforming the physical Colossus into a quantum state that cannot be revived."

"From now on, that colossus named Leviathan... can only exist in the form of a probability cloud, which will collapse once an observer appears."

"For the prime material plane, the transformation into a 'quantum ghost' in the form of a probability cloud is no different from its complete erasure."

"Of course, the targets annihilated by ball lightning... are, after all, only giants that have been granted authority and possess some pseudo-god characteristics. Their resurrection ability can be described as a complete knock-off."

If the ball lightning were to be used directly on the false gods, then only this projection would be quantized...

As long as other projections exist in other planes, they cannot truly harm the essence of their lives.

If the goal is to create a forbidden spell that can truly kill a false god... then simple "ball lightning" is far from enough...

However, Xia Er already had an idea in mind about the direction for further improvement.

What he needs to do now is to turn this idea into reality...

.......

The delicate scent of violets wafting from beside him interrupted Ciel's thoughts.

“You’re back, Renata.”

Charles refocused his attention and waved to those behind him.

The black-haired, golden-eyed twilight witch had appeared in the holy city without anyone noticing...

She walked quickly to Charles's side and held up the small notebook to him.

"I have completed the construction of the spatial passage... and the task of bringing Miss Akshia and Miss Augudia."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ciel nodded.

This journey to the Silver World is not a solo adventure for Ciel...

Rather, it was an action supported by the entire Western Continent...

From beginning to end, he was always supported by countless comrades...

Charles looked at Renata, who was looking at him with expectant eyes, and reached out to pat the girl's head.

Her jet-black hair carried a faint fragrance of violets, and it felt exceptionally smooth and had a wonderful texture.

The Twilight Witch, noticing Charles's actions, blinked her beautiful, pale golden eyes...
