Two staffs floated in front of him: one darker than the abyss, while the other was grey. A gloomy, depressing, and death-like aura emanated from the black one, while a dreamy and ethereal vibe came from the gray one.
The Death Staff and the Time Staff, Edward used the [Death and Time Authority] he stole from Truth to make these staffs. These two staffs are considered two of the most powerful magical items in the Empire after their creation.
Truth be told, Edward made two Death Staffs; for the second one, he combined the Deathly Hallows into one staff, however, he left that one back in the Empire as a safety measure.
He brought the other two because he wanted the difference in [Authortity] between different universes. One thing he noticed was that the strength of these authorities drastically decrease once they arrived in another universe.
So, after research, Edward modified them so that they can fit the [Death Authority] of the Harry Potter Universe, and when he came to this world, he also had to study and modify them to fit this world.
The gray staff floating in front of Edward shone brightly as he used a spell: Time Erasure. An enormous clock suddenly appeared on top of Yahweh's head, then, the vivid cloak slowly became illusory.
As it did so, Yahweh discovered that his body was also fading. He knew that once that clock disappeared, his existence would be forcibly erased from this current timeline; it would be as if he never existed.
The more than a billion years that he has lived would be erased. All the people he met, all the things he accomplished and all the impact he had on the entire universe would be erased as if they never happened.
'What a brilliant spell,' he thought before pointing his finger at the clock above.
Time Nullification.
Cracks appeared on the clock before it disappeared and canceling the spelling. Then, Yahweh cast a spell of his own.
Time Clones.
Then, nine other blue giants that looked exactly like Yahweh appeared. They raised their hands and a white sphere appeared in their hands.
"Light Judgement," they all said in unison.
Edward became serious as he could hear cracking noises coming from the mirror dimension. This is a sign that this attack has reached a level that the dimension cannot bear and it showed signs of breaking.
That also meant that this attack reached Tier 10 in scope,
Immediately, he cast another spell, and it was the same spell as Yahweh. He understood that the Time Clones is essentially Yahweh calling different versions of himself at different moments in time.
For example, the Yahweh five minutes from now or the one five minutes in the past. And each of these versions appeared in the present and served as temporary clones.
A very complex magic circle that seemed alive and moving instantly appeared in Edward's Soul Dimension. Then, a few other Floating City appeared next to him. However, unlike his opponent, he only created 3 clones for a total of 4 cities counting the original one.
Then, the Void Shield of the four Floating Cities expanded and fused. And the exact moment, they did this, a pillar of light was so enormous and bright that it could be seen throughout the entire universe.
If this was not the Mirror Dimension, all the species, races, or civilizations of the universe would be able to see that pillar of light, no matter how many trillions of light-years away they were.
Once the light faded, more cracks appeared on the shield of the Floating City. However, soon afterward, all the clones–including Yahweh's– disappeared.
Meanwhile, Edward was breathing heavily with sweat dripping on his forehead. A floating chair suddenly appeared behind him and he sat on it. In his current shape, he could barely stand up.
He waved his hand and the two staff floating in front of him.
Death Authority Spell: Summons of the Dead.
However, this was not an ordinary summon. Edward used the Time Staff to summon all people who have died throughout history. Any creatures, from past, present, and future, as long as they died at some point were summons.
These creatures included humans, animals, and humanoid species. Alien species–both magical and non-magical. Unfortunately, after the number of people summoned reached a certain number, Edward realized that the spell was forcibly stopped.
Then, these creatures fused; Hermione even controlled her summons to participate in this fusion.
The Abomination of Death.
That's the name of that spell. Edward watched an all-black creature with one red eye, countless tentacles appeared in front of him. In terms of size, it was even bigger than Yahweh.
The moment this creature, everything in thousands of galaxies died: matter, dark matter, energy, and even many concepts of order. All of them just died.
All the angels summoned by Yahweh instantly decayed and died just by looking at this creature; their souls completely destroyed. Luckily for some of them, Yahweh managed to protect their souls and put them away, however, their bodies were gone.
When the creature appeared, for a brief moment, Edward felt that he was about to lose control of it. He used a great deal of his willpower to forcibly control this spell, then rapidly ordered the creature to attack.
An infinite amount of tentacles seemed to come from its eyes as it attacked Yahweh, who immediately created a shield around him to block, however, no matter which type of shield he used, they would turn black before disappearing.
Essentially, the shields died after coming into contact with this abomination of a creature, which was the manifestation of the horror of death itself. And it was not just the shields, any divine spells used by Yahweh suffered the same fate.
They all died.
Then, the creature attacked Yahweh directly. The blue giant had a very powerful physique and was also a mighty warrior. So, he threw countless punches to block the tentacles.
Although they were many and nonstop, not a single one managed to bypass Yahweh's defense. However, he suddenly teleported a great distance from the creature.
He realized that each of these attacks was corroding his Divine Essence, rapidly bringing him closer to death. As a Tier 10 God, he can live as long as the universe itself.
As such, his essence is Immortal, so he does not have to worry about his lifespan. However, this creature can corrode his Immortal Essence and take his lifespan away. Each time that his fist touched one of the tentacles, he lost millions of years of his life.
Normally, this would be nothing to him, but this time, he could not recuperate the time he lost, meaning that if spent more time fighting, he would eventually die of old age.
Yahweh looked at the creature and used another spell:
Death Authority: Soul Control.
He wanted to take control of Death Abomination and turned it against his creator. In terms of understanding and controlling of Death Authority, he was leagues ahead of Edward.
Yahweh's Divine Will entered the creature's Soul Dimension and in just a few seconds, he took 30% of the creature's control from Edward. However, the creature suddenly opened his mouth a spewed out a green gas.
The green gas ignored the distance between the two and enveloped Yahweh.
'Poison? How could any poison work on me?'
Normal poison would of course not work as most gods are immune to most poisons. However, this was a unique poison created with the effort of Hermione and Snape.
While Edward was summoning the dead across the space-time continuum, Hermione was doing the same thing with magical herbs and poison under the guidance of Snape, who used his talent to quickly analyze the essence of these herbs and create a poison strong enough to work on a Tier 9 God.
Green veins could be seen appearing on Yahweh's blue body, and a slight groan came from his mouth, showing his pain. The poison was directly affecting his divine energy, making it impossible to use a large part of it.
Adding on the Energy Draining Curse that was still on his body, he knew that it would only be a matter of time before he ran out of energy. At that time, he would only be able to use Soul Related Spell, and their strength would be drastically decreased.
'It's time to end this,' thought Yahweh.
Destruction Authority: Ultimate Destruction.
A small, dark sphere the size of a basketball appeared on his enormous hand. Time and space seemed to freeze once the sphere appeared, then, it instantly appeared above the Floating City before exploding.
"LILY," screamed Edward once he saw what happened.

As soon as Edward saw this attack, he knew that in the current state of the Void Shield, it would not be able to stop it. He even guessed that this was one of Yahweh's most powerful attacks; the most powerful attack of a Tier 10 God capable of wiping out an entire universe.
How terrifying is that?
The Milky Way Galaxy is 100,000 light-years in diameter, while this universe is 193 billion light-years, making it larger than Primordial Earth's universe as it was only recorded to be 93 billion light-years in diameter.
Although the size of this world is nothing compared to Edward's homeworld, this did not change the fact that Yahweh's attack–which was capable of instantly destroying everything in a 193 billion light-years diameter–was terrifying.
The overall size of a universe determined how strong the Tier 10 individuals are. For example, there is a vast difference between a Tier 10 God that can destroy or create a universe of 90 billion light-years and one that can do the same for 500 billion-light years.
Nevertheless, as a Tier 6 Arcanist that has to rely on his Floating City to reach Tier 9, this attack was truly beyond Edward's capability. Luckily, he also planned for the worse.
The Void Shield managed to buy the group a little time; to be precise, buy Lily some time.
A crystal appeared on her hand and she injected mana into it. Then, an illusory image of Harry Potter appeared in front of her. She closed her eyes as she used a spell:
Ancient Magic: Love Protection.
Her love protection magic is most powerful when Harry is next to her. However, she could not bring him to such dangerous adventures, at least not yet. However, Lily created this crystal with Harry's imprints to take his place, essentially hypnotizing herself and her magic that her son was next to her.
An enormous white illusory shadow suddenly appeared behind her; the shadow was beautiful, ethereal, even divine. Anyone who sees would think that a Goddess had descended on the mortal plane.
Her appearance vaguely resembled Lily's, yet, they were still different; it was as if she was a higher self or version of Lily.
The illusory shadow embraced the Floating City like a mother embracing her child, protecting it from the winds and rain of life.
After the dark sphere, everything in the mirror dimension was gone, leaving only a maelstrom of chaotic energy. The Death Abomination was also instantly annihilated on an atomic level.
In the end, there probably was no matter left in that area–except for the Floating City and Yahweh–that would not be affected by his own spell.
The giant illusory shadow slowly dissipated after protecting the city. Meanwhile, Lily suddenly rapidly began to age. In just a few seconds, she turned into an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles all over her body.
A chair appeared behind her as well, making her the last person in the group to seat down. A tube was implanted into her spin from the chair injecting something into her body. Then, she returned to a middle-aged look.
However, the process only lasted a few seconds before she once again aged. After going back and forth from old age to middle-age for almost a minute, she finally stopped in her middle-aged looked.
A closer look would reveal that she was regaining her youth, however, the process appeared to be very slow. At this point, everyone in this battle had basically reached their limits.
And Edward knew that this was the best opportunity to take down his opponent–especially since he must be running low on divine energy. Compared to him, he should still have some mana since Morgana has not warned him that they reached a critical level.
Unfortunately for him, Yahweh felt the same way as him and acted much quicker. Something appeared behind him; it was the projection of a large world with countless people dressed in white drinking, laughing, and talking with one another.
Joy, happiness, and contentedness radiated from these people. Everything they do seems genuine.
"Divine Kingdom Projection," said Edward with difficulty. The Gods in his world have their own Divine Kingdom and inside said kingdom, they are considered the most powerful.
Their powers are amplified by countless times, the use of [Authortiy]. becomes easier, and they can easily replenish their divine energy. However, the Divine Kingdom exists only in the Outer Realm and cannot appear in the mortal plane.
However, a projection of it can be manifested, thus drastically increasing the strength of the gods. So, Edward knew that he was in trouble once Yahweh manifested something similar.
And he was right.
A massive amount of reserved divine energy entered Yahweh's body to make up for his loss. Then, he immediately acted. By now, he had observed and analyzed his opponent and discovered his weakness: the soul.
The essence of Tier 10 Universal individuals is leagues above Tier 6 ones. So, although Edward can use a massive amount of energy to make up the gap in combat power, he cannot make up the essence of the soul.
Darkness Authority: Gaze of God.
Then, Edward saw two giant eyes directly appear in his Soul Dimension, looking straight at his soul. Immediately afterward, cracks suddenly appeared in the dimension, and his soul was rapidly becoming more transparent.
Two shields suddenly appeared to protect his soul, one cast by him while the other was created by Lily. Unfortunately, these things only delayed the speed at which his soul was fading away. On top of that, more cracks kept appearing in the place.
Edward finally understood the saying, "Mortals should not look at God." The essence of mortals and Gods was too vast, so directly looking at a higher being will lead to death.
Although Edward was not a mortal and was considered a transcendent being, it did not change the fact that there were more than 4 tiers between him and Yahweh. As such, the essence of his existence, the essence of his soul had a huge difference
Nevertheless, despite his dangerous situation, he still could think rationally. He controlled the Gate of Truth to emit a strange energy surge that stabilized the Soul Dimension and prevent more cracks to appear and eventually destroy it.
Then, he roared: "Morgana."
"On it, master."
The little elf knew what he meant by that roar. Her main server was essentially the remains of a very powerful creature and that creature had a very high Divine Essence.
So, she linked it to Edward's Soul to block that powerful spell. Edward felt a strange power nourishing his soul, but he did not absorb it but used it to prevent himself from dying instead.
With that strange power, he was able to stop the attack and sighed in relief.
"Master, we are not out of danger yet. The Divine Kingdom Projection has created a magic unfriendly zone in the surroundings."
"What does that mean exactly?"
"Well, many of the enchantments of the city have stopped working, and casting spells become almost impossible."
'Is this the power of the Divine Kingdom? No wonder the gods ruled my universe.'
Edward has gathered much data on the gods of this world and created simulated battles with them. However, he has never actually fought a real god before so there are many things that he does not know.
"You said that it was almost impossible to cast spells, not impossible. So, what method do you have?"
"I have analyzed that the power of the Divine Kingdom has a weak effect against Cosmic Energy. So…"
Edward understood her meaning. Although cosmic energy is only in the preliminary stage of study in the Empire, it can still be used to do some basic things.
"Alright. I know what to do."
While Edward was having this conversation with Morgana inside his mind and planning his next move, Yahweh was slightly surprised as he thought that this attack would be the end of his opponent.
Since this attack did not work, he would use another one. However, the moment he was prepared to take action, Yahweh suddenly felt a terrible premonition of death coming from being him.
He turned around to see the Floating City appearing behind him and firing a dark gray energy cannon.
'How did they appear behind me? I blocked the space to prevent teleportation.'
However, Yahweh knew that this was not the time to think about these things, because he knew that if that attack hit, he would be dead for sure.
