Becoming a Shadow in the New World

Behind the door, the sky shimmered with white light, and white stone slabs laid on the ground formed a road. Rows of white houses lined the end of the road, and strange buildings stood on the clouds floating in the sky. Angels with pure white wings fluttered and flew about in the sky.

Is this... heaven?

Taking in this series of strange landscapes, Sid realized in just a few seconds that he had arrived in the first day of the seven days of Heaven (the celestial realm), a small world belonging to the biblical pantheon.

After briefly appreciating the beauty of the first day in the celestial realm, Sid continued to fly upwards following the ray of light from Asia's soul.

The second and third days were no different from the other days, except that the area was much larger. He didn't know exactly how large it was, and Sid wasn't interested in exploring it. As for the scenery... he could only say that it was rather ordinary compared to the other days.

The fourth day was like a large courtyard, with many flowers and plants growing on the ground, but there was nothing particularly beautiful about it. The only two things that caught the eye were two withered apple trees. After all, in such a vibrant courtyard, the area where these two trees stood was deathly still.

The fifth day felt like a real-life science park, with many buildings that were clearly for research purposes. The scenery was terrible, so I gave it a bad review.

After passing through five doors, Sid arrived at the sixth day.

The feeling one gets on the sixth day... is it all bark and no bite?

Gazing at the sacred and majestic temple, Sid gave this assessment with a sense of doubt.

Even though the golden halo behind the temple was constantly radiating holy energy capable of easily annihilating a former demon king of the underworld, Sid still felt that the temple was very weak.

Forget it, it's none of his business. Why should he think so much? If it weren't for the fact that this seventh gate was a bit special, he wouldn't have even stopped.

Putting aside thoughts of the temple, Sid turned back to continue studying the incantation on the seventh gate.

The spell on the surface of this gate is not difficult. Although he couldn't understand most of it, he could understand the core of it and roughly knew how to avoid it.

The question is... is it really that simple?

Although this so-called simple technique could already kill several of the world's top fifteen, just thinking about the thousands upon thousands of techniques he had seen in the world of life's common sense, the inscription on this gate seemed rather childish, giving the impression of being hastily made and shoddy.

Forget it, why is he thinking so much? Even if there really is a trap here, so what?

Putting aside the fact that he is just a projection here, capable of creating as many camera-like projections as he wants as long as his magic power is sufficient, what can be done to his real body?

Even if they manage to trace him, the Heavenly Realm doesn't have a single capable fighter; what can they do to him?

The reason why the thousands of techniques in the world of life's common sense can form a mutually exclusive relationship with him is because there is a biblical God within them, and angels?

What kind of bunch of idiots are they that he feels threatened?

Having made up his mind, Sid walked straight through the pure white gate before him, into the seventh day of the heavens.

It has to be said that the thickness of this door is truly exaggerated. Even though we have already moved forward at least two hundred meters, we still haven't passed through the door.

Fortunately, Sid could already sense the strong light element fluctuations ahead. If nothing unexpected happened, he would reach the seventh heaven of the celestial realm in no more than two hundred meters.

"jump!"

Okay, something unexpected happened.

Looking at the transparent thread broken in two behind him, Sid's lips twitched.

You mean the God of the Bible, who is obviously a master magician, actually used such a childish trap to detect the enemy, and what's even more outrageous is that he fell for it. I really don't know how to complain about this.

Along with the broken thread came a dangerous-looking magic circle that lit up the sky above the remaining distance.

Well, it was unexpected but also reasonable.

Reason told Sid that the best option now was to remove the magic from his right eye and let the projection dissipate. It wasn't worth turning the heavens upside down for Asia, not to mention that fighting halfway through might awaken the Bible God, who was sleeping in the common sense of life.

Sid's emotions told him that this was really cool.

Whether it's the iconic scene where the projected angels defeat him and declare them unworthy of his true form, or the scene where the real Queen of the Bible arrives to fight him and satisfy his fighting desires, it's a win-win situation. Moreover, if he wins, he might gain another shadow-level assistant. This fight is a must.

Having made up his mind, more magic flowed into his right eye, and the projection, which originally only served as a clairvoyant ability, began to appear as a phantom in reality, with a surging fighting spirit brewing within it.

The fight I missed last year finally got to be made up for today, so exciting!

After Sid's fighting spirit reached its peak, he quietly waited for the magic circle in front of him to launch its attack.

He waited, waited…

After about ten seconds...

Why hasn't it attacked yet?

Another ten seconds passed.

Sid's fighting spirit was almost gone.

After a moment of silence, Sid slowly walked forward and touched the magic circle that lit up in front of him.

The moment Sid touched them, all the magic circles emitted a ripple and disappeared upon contact with Sid.

Sid, who had been touched, fell completely silent.

Here's something really absurd: Sid received a message during that recent fluctuation that read, "Welcome back, God of the Bible."

To retract my previous statement, these magic circles are not dangerous at all. They are probably just old and broken, and anyone could mistake them for something else.

Happy to die.

While mentally complaining, Sid's foot speed was not slow at all. After learning that the magic arrays here had been in disrepair for a long time, Sid didn't even bother to dodge and just crashed into them head-on.

The thought that he, known as the "God of Magic," was actually hyped up by some old and dilapidated magic circles made him feel incredibly embarrassed.

If someone saw this, what would they say about him? They'd say that the mighty God of Magic couldn't even tell if a magic circle was broken. He's just lucky no one saw it, otherwise he would have lost all face.

He even prayed in his heart that one or two magic circles would work and allow him to wash away his embarrassing past.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with these spells. As soon as they encountered him, they had no effect except for sending out the message "Welcome back, God of the Bible," and they simply dissipated.

Even though he had touched every single magic circle along the way, none of them were without exception.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Anomaly

The Heavenly Realm, the seventh day, is the headquarters of the angelic faction of the biblical pantheon, the location of the system that governs divine artifacts and prayers, and the dwelling place of the biblical God.

Since God perished in the war between the three forces, this place has become a forbidden zone in the heavens. Even Michael, who is the celestial scribe, prime minister, and now performs the duties of God, would never easily set foot here unless there was a system problem or routine maintenance.

But now, in this forbidden area at the core of the heavens, with the highest defense mechanism and where outsiders are not allowed to enter, for the first time, "outsiders" other than the four archangels and the biblical God have stepped in.

White!

Very white!

Sacred pure white!

This was Sid's first impression of the place.

Endless holy light shone on the seventh day, and more and more holy light passed through the ground and went down to the six heavens below, illuminating this small world as a source of light.

As Sid stepped in, it was as if the light elements of the entire seventh day became active and brightened.

Of course, Sid knew this was an illusion. His true form would not exhibit this behavior unless he deliberately created it, so to think that simply creating a projection could activate the light element was somewhat presumptuous.

Following the golden light that connected to Asia's soul, one could see that the light ended at an instrument resembling an armillary sphere, with a large sphere of light at its center.

Both the golden light within Asia's soul and the light elements that permeated the entire seventh day emanated from this large sphere of light.

Every now and then, tiny golden streaks, resembling the golden light in Asia's soul, would merge into the large sphere of light. White light would also shoot out from the large sphere of light, and these rays would break out of this small world and fly to all parts of the world.

"interesting."

Sid's projection stood in front of the large sphere of light, his index finger and thumb rubbing his chin.

He could sense that the golden rays, which shared the same nature as the light in Aisia's soul, were filled with emotional fluctuations, combined with the prayer Aisia had mentioned earlier.

The large sphere of light in front of you should be the receiver for the believers' prayers. The golden light bars inside the sphere are the sounds of the believers' prayers, while the white light emitted by the sphere is a blessing given to the believers.

"So...the case is solved?"

The matter actually ended there. Asia wasn't lying, nor was she deceived. She genuinely prayed and received a response from the god she believed in.

However, Asia was a bit special. While everyone else had wireless networks, Asia was directly connected by a wired connection from the giant ball of light in front of her.

"No, not yet."

Sid shook his head slightly, giving a negative answer to himself.

Asia's innocence has been proven, but the large sphere of light in front of him has not. How could a mere creation of the biblical God be able to track his movements?

The main reason he was able to sense three auras that were no weaker than his was because the worlds were merging with each other, and all four of them were bumped into by their own worlds.

To use an analogy, the fusion of the worlds is like a hydraulic press for people living in three worlds, while most people living in the three worlds are like a tissue under the hydraulic press, and the four of them are like diamonds under the hydraulic press.

Of course, he can avoid being suppressed. As long as he fights back, the fusion of the world will naturally stop. After all, how can the world be fused if the world is gone?

The question is, what happens next?

Where will he live? Where will he achieve the status of a Shadow Warrior?

To escape to another world?

How long would it take to wander through the dimensional gaps and find other worlds?

I can only console myself that I gained inspiration from the fusion of the world to complete the magic forging method.

In short, the reason he could find the auras of other people was because they were all knocked out by the world together. It's a bit far-fetched for a rigid system, even if it's a creation of the Bible God, to claim that it can control his whereabouts.

In order to find out more, Sid decided that he would personally examine this biblical pantheistic prayer system.

Thinking about it is one thing, but actually trying to do it directly would be too stupid. Sid isn't that dumb; at the very least, he should take a look at the core spell formula before starting.

"Um!?
