nTheir group had gone to the nearest river after lunch. The quite deep and long clean river appeared before them. The rocks at the edge were smooth and safe to step on except for it being a bit slippers nothing else is a disadvantage. Moreover, they were welcomed by the scene of colorful round squishy looking monsters. They looked soft as they jiggle a bit as they bounce and bounce to change their directions.

nAfter cutting off his thoughts connected to Lucien and Adrienne, Eirwen Night's mood becomes visibly bad. During the hunt for slimes at the river after lunch, everyone witnessed Eirwen using a hand knife killing all slimes that came attacking him thanks to the power he sprinkled on him to attract weak monsters at a certain range.

nAt the riverside, only Eirwen is busy killing slimes like bugs converging over him. The rest were standing at the sideline quietly. They were pulled over by Zhi Yue who overheard the conversation he had with the Twin Gods, Lucien, and Adrienne. Their conversation was going well in the beginning, it was only after Lord Lucien had slipped something he shouldn't have said that everything changed.

nViktor murmured in surprise,

"Wow~ his skills are top class. Just based on him not moving a single step and moving only his hands and waist to eliminate anything that attacks him shows how much talent he has. He is even stronger than the Sword King in academia. This kind of strength, his swordsmanship, could even rival the Hero of this Empire, Luciel Li.

"

n

"My Lord's skill with a sword is indeed strong but...

" murmured Neige.

n

"His weapon had never been a sword,

" murmured Zhi Yue.

nViktor Hart was stunned that he exclaimed out of nowhere which is totally out of his character.

n

"His weapon is not a sword!? He is this amazing but his main weapon is not a sword! What is it then?

" asked the crown prince.

nZhi Yue said,

"It was said that a single swing from him could directly slice a world. Anyone who entered the world of crimson and snow could never be ever reborn for eternity.

"

nViktor Hart decided to shut up as he couldn't really get involved in things regarding otherworldly things like Gods and Deities. But he was speechless when he suddenly saw Eirwen glance at their side and smirked. Then he muttered voicelessly,

n

"Watch. I will show you a move that is the strongest sword god I know.

"

nIt wasn't only Viktor Hart who read the words from Eirwen's lips, when they saw this Zhi Yue had the largest reaction.

nZhi Yue exclaimed,

"Is this for real!? Haha~ what a great opportunity!? Viktor is sure not to blink. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can witness what the strongest sword god's technique could do!

"

n

"Are you really going to allow it!? My lord's current vessel is human right now!?

" said Neige.

nZhi Yue commented,

"His bad mood won't fade unless he unleashes his anger in another way. Even for a bit, it should be fine, once they learned about it they would come over anyway.

nUnless you want him to go crazy with anger when that happens then... Forget just this realm, even the nearby worlds would get destroyed.

"

nWith this fact, Neige finally shut his mouth even with his memories he could vaguely feel the strength of the man before him.

n

"His overall presence got weaker but... He feels stronger than before.

" murmured Neige.

nViktor Hart and Angela Evans couldn't understand their conversation and remained silent the whole time as if their existence had been forgotten.

nEveryone's eyes were focused on Eirwen, but he ignored their gaze as if he couldn't feel it at all. He was looking in a certain direction above the sky. The direction he is looking at is the place where the boundary of mortal and divine realms exists. There is a strong barrier made of divine energy which separates the mortal and divine realm. It is something, not even the sovereign twin gods would destroy as they were born to protect this boundary.

nEirwen murmured,

"This direction huh.

" then a white sword made in purest ice was formed within his hands. He held it with his backhand and lowered his center of gravity in a stance that person had shown him before.

n

"Viktor, don't blink, this technique has 12 forms and all slashes must be done within 3 seconds,

" said Eirwen.

nThe first motion of his first slash was so slow that it took two seconds to complete. Followed by that slow slash Eirwen used teleportation to appear in front of the space that binds the mortal and divine realm. In the last second, the rest of the 11 slashes were all done in the blink of an eye.

nCRACKS!

nThen everyone witnessed the sky break into countless mirror-like fragments revealing a hidden paradise beyond that boundary. Everyone witnessed another world hidden within the heavens and then the scenery that can only be found in myths was seen by their own eyes.

nDragons flying in the sky herds like birds. The lands are divided into main elemental islands and at the center is a humongous golden temple which itself emits holiness at the same time darkness.

nThe beings living in the mortal realm. The humans and all other races met eyes with the other people who emit divinity itself. At the burning island at the upper left, a woman is covered in a crimson robe and her long hair is made of lava itself. This is the Goddess of Fire, Adara.

nAnother is a man with light green hair and emerald eyes wearing slight modern yet noble-like clothes in a postmodern era. He is surrounded by the wind making him fly at this moment above an island at the upper right. This man is the God of the Wind, Avel.

nOn the lower left island, a huge female being whose lower half is covered in earth and only her head down to the collarbone can be seen. She is the Goddess of earth, Ertha.

nLastly, at the lower right island protected by waters and whirlpool, a male siren with long light blue hair and sapphire eyes. His upper half is human but his lower half is a huge fishtail. He looks like a mermaid at the same time not. The God of water, Mayim.

nBut in Eirwen Night's eyes, none of these four had been able to enter his line of sight. He is looking at the twin figures standing in front of the huge temple. They have a similar appearance. Both were handsome beyond human limits could imagine aside from their contrasting hair and eye colors their features were equally the same.

nOn the left is an attractive man emitting holiness with his long platinum blond hair length reaching the floor. The atmosphere around him is made of pure light which cannot be tainted by a mere dirty except for his pair of eyes that is dyed in pitch blackness. This is the God of Light, Lucien.

nThe man on the right side is different. Adrienne, the God of Darkness. His long hair is dyed with the color of the night, silky and smooth. His presence gives away the feeling of cruelty and madness. He shares the same features and exquisite appearance of the Light God but almost everything on him is black as if shrouded by darkness. Only his pair of irises is the contrast of his everything. Like a spark of light, only his eyes were shaded in aureate.

nAll gods were looking at the broken boundary in shock. They had never expected that impregnable barrier created by the world itself to be destroyed by someone. It is a common knowledge that the boundary between the mortal and divine realms is separated by a thin invisible film of unknown energy. This energy is what made the beings called deities become Gods. That energy is called Divine energy. It is the power of the world itself.

nIt is supposed to be impossible to destroy such a thing because being able to do so means that the one who destroys it would be someone beyond the realms of divinity. It can only be done by immortals. The existence of immortals was a myth even in the divine realm. Being an immortal means you would be able to transverse in the realm outside of the world itself.

nBut now someone like that has been able to do so. They were staring at Eirwen Night whose current appearance is shielded by a disguise. They saw the white ice sword in his hand crumble until it didn't exist anymore. Only an injured right hand, bleeding, was left behind.

nThe Gods in front of him were left bewildered especially for the ones who don't know who he is. His disguise faded like ripples until his original appearance was revealed.

nHis long hair was woven into a loose braid but every strand emits a silvery light making it look softer and smoother than an oriental silk. His hair was adorned by transparent snowflakes as if ice itself grew from within those every strand of silver.

nOn the top of his head is a crimson crown, it had the same shade of blood as to how cerise those lips are. Wearing a white-red robe, he looks like an immortal who is the ruler of both ice and blood. Only his eyes are gold at the same time silver. This Eirwen Night's God form. This is his real gorm after his first death in this world.

nAfter dying once and removing the holy element in his body, sealing it within his eyes, his vessel was repaired by divine energy from the world itself. Instead of using his own qi, Eirwen decided to use the energy of the world available for him to use. This is why it is supposed to be impossible for him to break the boundary in this state.

nWhich is why when he wielded his sword just now, he used his true qi, that's how he was able to destroy the barrier between the two realms. Even though it would repair in a few minutes, it is enough to reveal his strength in front of the Gods in this world.

nThe Gods' reactions were all over.

nGoddess of Fire, Adara flinched when her eyes met with those cold and aloof golden eyes. She had remembered feeling this kind of presence from before.

n'The presence he emits is like... Yes! Very similar to that man before he split into twin gods. As if nothing, even the world itself could enter his eyes. Do they know each other?' she murmurs in her heart.

nOnly when she turned around to look at the twin gods' reaction to the overly exquisite man with an otherworldly presence that Goddess Adara knew that what she had thought before might be true itself.

nAdara's thoughts, 'They already know each other. Sadly, after splitting the twin gods had no memories when they were still one person.'

nThe Goddess of Earth is like a mother-like figure and likes cute and beautiful things the most.

n

"Wow~ she looks so beautiful~ Is she a newly born Goddess? Can someone tell me her name!?

" said Ertha with a holy mother smile.

nThe one who gave her an answer is the God of Water, Mayim. He flicks his tail causing a small tsunami in the mortal realm which is instantly frozen by Neige before it reaches the human territories.

n

"She is a man. Don't call him as her, Ertha!

" said Mayim.

"I won't be saving you if you got turned into an ice mountain.

"

nNeige also removed his disguise and flew beside Eirwen. He stood a step lower than his lord and scolded Mayin, the Water God for causing a calamity unintentionally.

n

"Stop flicking your tail, Mayim! The boundaries aren't fully repaired yet!

" shouted Neige.

nThis time almost all Gods recognized Neige. He is a demigod of the element of ice. As someone closest to ascension, the gods were already acquainted with him.

nThe God of Wind, Avel waves his hands towards Neige.

n

"Cutey~ Did you come to see, Avel~?

"

nNeige responded coldly,

"Just die.

"

nThe God of Wind had always been Neige's admirer but who told Neige to be the Fallen God, Araysh's lover. Eirwen who was staying silent the whole time finally spoke.

n

"Noisy.

" He used his special skill: Kotodama. The power of words.

nIt was just a single word but it is enough for every living creature in the world to fall silent at the moment the word had been spoken. Regardless of whether you are human, monsters, beasts, or even Gods. No one was able to stop the effect of kotodama.

nThe chatterbox Wind God, Avel's face distorted in disbelief. Just now he wanted to scold the young god's arrogance for talking like that to his seniors. Who would have expected that everyone would be affected by a single word.

nThe God of Wind, Avel tried to speak but he could only feel his mouth opening and closing but no sound came out. He finally shuddered after realizing the difference of strength between him and the young god.

nThe Wind God. Avel's thoughts, 'He could affect even the Gods!?'

n
