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

Although it wasn't obvious, the God of War, with his divine status, still keenly sensed it—

This fantastical world, constructed by Charles's imagination, has indeed become somewhat illusory at this moment.

The gaps between the World Eggs are thinning and fading, and the connection between the God of War and the other projections of the Prime Material Plane is constantly strengthening—

All these signs indicate that the fantastical world created by Charles has reached its limit and is on the verge of collapse at any moment.

The God of War, in the posture of a victor, stepped onto the core of that star forged from steel, letting the remaining flames and high temperatures of the star core scorch His divine body.

Even at its most intense and peak stellar intensity, it remained completely unharmed.

Especially now, this dim star, aging and nearing the end of its life.

The God of War stared directly at Charles, about to say something.

But the next moment——

Amidst the ethereal and dreamlike sea of ​​stars.

Charles, whose face was somewhat pale and whose body seemed unsteady, suddenly smiled.

"so--"

"Not reading is a killer."

"Did you know that in the Western Continent, even goblins and slimes, the lowest-level monsters, go into a second-stage berserk state when they are about to die—"

"And what's more—"

"It is the greatest celestial body in the entire universe."

In Charles's eyes, the starlight that had dimmed shone brightly once more.

Behind him, the already blurred sea of ​​stars began to flow once more.

Then, in that gentle starlight that enveloped itself—

Charles closed his eyes slightly.

Followed by.

He completely loosened the restrictions he had been trying to maintain deep within the core of that scorching, bright, imaginary star in his own world of perception.

"Gravity Lock"

"Dismissed."

......

click-

The crisp sound of something breaking echoed slowly throughout the desolate, dreamlike universe.

The God of War looked down at the iron star core beneath his feet, which was no longer burning or fusing, and could not quite understand the meaning behind Sharl's words.

Suddenly He sensed that something was about to happen, and abruptly raised His head. His dim divine power surged forth, and He wanted to do something.

however--

All of this is already too late.

Deep within the star's core, the gravitational lock, forcibly altered and erased by the creator of this "imaginary star," the Charles, was now completely released from its restraint.

But after that, everything changed.

Inside the iron-rich star core, where the density of matter reached an unparalleled peak.

Gravity overcame the resistance of electron degeneracy and broke free from the constraints of electromagnetic force.

The Chandrasekhar limit was broken, and the electrons and protons that make up the atomic nucleus were squeezed together by an almost infinite force.

The most basic structure of the atomic nucleus has been broken through, distorted, and rewritten.

A brand new fusion reaction has begun.

No longer the main sequence stage, with its gentlest hydrogen and helium fusion chain—

Rather, beneath the iron, heavier atomic nuclei collide and coalesce, unleashing a burst of energy after being suppressed to the extreme.

The steel core of the star collapsed at an astonishing speed in an instant.

Then, amidst the burning of the core, it erupted once again.

The shockwave collided violently with the star's outer shell, generating an ultra-high temperature of one hundred billion Kelvin.

"So--"

"Then please bear witness."

That calm voice echoed in the ears of the god of war.

"The light of millions of suns shining simultaneously—"

"It is also the final swan song at the end of a star's life... the most dazzling fireworks in the entire multiverse."

"Imaginary Daylight: A Supernova Explosion"

Followed by.

That purest white light—

It will engulf everything that constitutes the image of the god of war.

......

A supernova explosion.

This is the most extreme explosion contained within all possibilities in the entire observable universe.

It is also the most dazzling bloom.

The brightness of this explosion is equivalent to 10 billion suns, and from a distance, it is even brighter than an entire galaxy.

After iron—

Whether it's gold, silver, or platinum and chromium.

All the heavy elements that constitute the world and form the foundation of civilization originate from the explosion of this supernova.

In that brightest and most astonishing burst in recorded history, the entire dark cosmic backdrop imagined by the Shire vanished.

The most dazzling brilliance that bursts forth at the end of a star's life.

The entire fantastical galaxy was illuminated as if it were daytime.

Even more than just that fantastical world overlaid with Charles's mental landscape.

In that pure burst of energy, the barriers of the World Egg were breached—

A dark void.

The golden elf, who was alone and silently waiting in the void with his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

That clear and pure radiance, piercing through the difference between fantasy and reality, thus reached the material plane.

Similarly, it also illuminated the golden elf's pale golden eyes, which appeared slightly weakened due to the heat of the secret fire burning her soul.

The golden elf slightly extended her fair right hand, as if to grasp that ray of clear light in her palm.

Charles's gentle words seemed to echo in her ears once again.

"Not in that windowless tower—"

"But——"

"Here, under the sunlight...?"

......

Western Continent, City of Summer Flowers, Dawn Cathedral.

It was already late at night.

The night, as soft as a black veil, silently enveloped the entire sky.

Renata, dressed in a jet-black tulle dress, sat gracefully in the secret chamber of the Cathedral of Dawn.

A book written in ancient script, bearing the marks of time, rested on her lap, and Renata read it quietly.

"Although Charles and I had warned each other beforehand, I really didn't expect this..."

"As a member of the Dark Tower and a genuine legendary mage, you are actually interested in the ancient books of the Church of Dawn."

An elegant voice rang in Renata's ears.

The newcomer was Sylvia, the Dawn Saintess. At this moment, she was not wearing the saintess crown that symbolized her status as the Dawn Saintess, but rather a light and casual dress.

If an outsider were unaware of the details, they might mistake the Dawn Saintess for an ordinary novice priest.

Sylvia walked gracefully to Renata's side and sat down beside her.

"What about Charles? How is he?"

Sylvia couldn't help but ask.

Previously, Shar had caused quite a stir in the Black Tower, to the point that even the Dawn Church, where Sylvia was located, had heard about it.

"His breakthrough is complete."
