Edward looked at half of his body that sliced into two a frown on his face. In his current Mechanized Mind State, his emotions and things along the line of pain did not affect him much.
He quickly calculated what happened before coming to a conclusion.
"Causality Spell."
This attack used the Laws of Karma or Causality to ignore all his defenses and go straight for him. If he did not use a Soul Shield at the last minute to defend himself, then his soul would have been annihilated and be gone from the world.
This is the first time in his magical path that he came so close to death; well, at least, not even since he was young and defenseless. If he was not in an emotionless state, he would have liked to ponder the ramification that his death would have on the people close to him and other people.
But now was not the time to do so.
'Morgana used the Karmic Artifact we have and create a defensive measure against such spell.'
"Immediately, sir.'
'You want to play causality, two can play at this game.'
Edward did not have a deep understanding of Causality Magic, however, there is one thing that he was a master of that involved causality: curses. As long as a magic-user had something that belongs to another person, they can use it as a medium to cast curses.
Although that was a very low-level application of causality, it was more than enough in his hand.
Then, two things appeared in front of him: A very small drop of blood along with a golden sphere. The drop of blood was taken from the Spear of Destiny that stabbed and killed Destiny.
If the Christian bible is correct, Jesus is either Yahweh's son or another part of him. Either way, it can be used as a curse medium. As for the golden orb, it was the power of Faith of all the billion Christians that worshipped him.
This was another medium that Edward was going to use, and this one was a very powerful one as well. Yahweh's facial expression immediately changed after seeing the things in front of Edward.
So, he quickly attacked again, using the same causality spell.
This time, Morgana was able to block the attack, but not all of it. As such, both of Edward's legs were destroyed. However, he did not care as he already cast his spell and his Phoenix Flame activate to heal his injuries.
Arcane Rune Spell: Energy Absorption Curse.
A black tattoo suddenly appeared on Yahweh's blue skin, then, he felt a powerful suction that was rapidly draining his divine energy. So, he immediately cast a Curse Removal Spell to remove the curse, but Edward prevented him from succeeding.
He increased the power of this spell to keep it on. So, Yahweh used the power of Causality to remove the connection he had with the mediums that Edward was using.
And he did succeed, albeit only a little. He did sever the connection between Jesus' blood and him, however, this spell was not as effective when it came to the faith of the Christians.
'Damn this power of faith,' thought Yahweh. All the Gods from different pantheons knew the danger of faith, hence the reason that they did not rely on it too much.
As Innate God born from [Authority] and energy from the birth of the universe, their powers come not from faith, but through countless years of studying, training, and developing the Authority they were born with.
The more talented and hard-working ones–like Odin, Zeus, Brahma, Vishnu, Olorun, and so on– grew rapidly and surpass the others. Unfortunately, studying and understanding [Authority] which is the fundamental concept or laws of the universe is not only difficult but also takes time.
Many of them have spent billions of years moving from one tier to another. Some could not withstand the loneliness and stopped moving forward, indulging in the vices of the world.
Yahweh remembered how life was in the Heavenly Realm before faith was discovered; although there was competition and conflicts, things were generally peaceful.
However, when the gods discover that by spreading their names, doctrines, and ideas to mortals and gathering faith, and said faith can help them in their understanding of their [Authority] and in turn increase their power, war broke out.
Different factions were formed based on their origins in the Heavenly Realm, hence the concept of the Pantheon was born. Finally, all the gods fought and competed for the faith of mortals.
They were lucky not to be completely polluted by faith because for some reason, they were forbidden to expand their battle and conquest to the rest of the universe. Nevertheless, faith changed everything.
Yahweh knew that it could not remove that curse that used faith as a medium unless he was willing to completely sever his ties or connection to humans. Additionally, as the gods with the largest amount of followers and faith, doing so would result in a harsh Karmic backlash.
So, for now, he was satisfied with weakening the curse. Now, all he had to do was to weaken it to the point of making it relatively useless.
Divine Spell: Angel Summons.
A large army of angels appeared in the sky. They form a hierarchy based on their position in the sky and the number of wings on their backs. One Tier 9 Angel who had 16 wings stood at the top, a hundred Tier 8 angels with 14 wings stood beneath him, followed by Tier 7 angels with 12 wings, and so on.
After seeing this situation, Edward quickly took action.
'Severus, leave the potion making to a golem, then use this faith orb to continue casting dark magic and weakened him.'
As soon as he said this, a massive amount of energy from the Aether Core entered Snape's body, boosting his strength to barely Tier 9.
'Hermione, you're in charge of the army. Lily, you're in charge of both the city and our defense.'
The other two were also connected to the core; this act greatly alleviated the pressure that Edward has to control such a massive amount of energy. However…
"Master, the energy from the Aether Core is depleting at a faster rate."
"Keep watch on and make sure we have enough energy to run away. Once it reaches that threshold, initiate the Void Jump immediately and get us out of here."
"Alright."
"Found them," suddenly said, Hermione. Then, countless magic circles suddenly appeared in the space. And from them appeared a large army. This army was composed of fallen angels that had black wings, normal angels with white wings, devil-looking creatures that looked like something that came out of nightmare movies, humanoid creatures, and many of them that looked like they were from mythology.
However, one thing that they all had in common was that their bodies looked pale gray like corpses, and many of them had limbs missing, still had weapons impaled in their bodies, and had part of their bodies that were burned or chopped off.
"Undead," muttered the Tier 9 Archangel. She could tell that these people were fallen warriors from that war in the Heavens. She even recognized some of them as they were her enemies, personal slain by her, and some of her comrades.
Immediately, anger appeared on this angel's beautiful face; she hated how these Internal Sorcerers desecrated the bodies of these warriors–especially her former comrades.
Using the processing power of Morgana and her drastically increase senses, Hermione was able to locate many dimensions where these creatures were located.
However, she discovered that the majority if not all of them were dead. So, she controlled the massive negative energy created by the death of all these once-powerful individuals to reanimate their bodies and turned them into undead.
Then used her talent to summon them. She encountered some resistance from the people or angels who once fought on Yahweh's side, however, the others were more than happy to come back as undead for another chance at revenge.
"Has the war continued again?" asked one of the fallen angels summoned by Hermione. This one also had 16 wings.
"Lucifer?" asked Michael, the Tier 9 angel. "No, you're not him."
"You're right, my beloved sister. I am nothing but the resentment left on my flesh after you personally destroy my soul. Nevertheless, I am still glad to see you again," said Lucifer as he laughed maniacally.
"Hello, father," he continued as he looked at Yahweh with resentment. "Not looking too good are we?"

Yahweh looked at his favorite yet most disobedient son and was momentarily lost in his memory. In the early stage of the war, the confrontation between all the different pantheons was mildly compared to the later stages.
However, later, Yahweh wanted to end this war so he came up with the idea of becoming the main villain and forcing all the other pantheons to work together and unite.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the corrosion of faith. In his doctrine, he proclaimed himself as the only Almighty God, he claimed to be the one and only Supreme God, the one that all others have to bow with.
His original intention was to tell the other gods of his intention and made him the villain.
Unfortunately, as his believers spread this idea and believe in them, as Christianity became more powerful, the faith he absorbed began to twist his mind.
It made him believe that was what he truly wanted, what he truly desired: it forced him to play the role he portrayed in his doctrine.
And by the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late; his personality, ideas, and views of the world had changed. He attacked the other gods for his own selfish reason.
He absorbed their Divinity/Authority to become more powerful; he wanted to become omnipotent and omniscient, just like the individual portrayed in his doctrine.
And when the Novad King entered the war, opening the door to the multiverse, his ambitions simply could no longer be stopped.
At some point in the war, he came up with the plan to have his son "fake" a rebellion in his camp, so that he could implant a mole in the side of the other pantheons.
Unfortunately, the way he went about executing such a plan was not ideal; he never told Lucifer and the others that this was supposed to be a fake rebellion.
He planned that after secretly manipulating his favorite and most powerful son to rebel, he would tell him the truth and reconcile. Unfortunately, once the deed was done, Lucifer was more furious after hearing that even his so-called rebellion to regain his free will was nothing but his father's plan.
He refused to reconcile with him and joined the other side for good.
While the father and son were having a reunion, Edward and Hermione had already prepared for their next attack.
Hermione had her undead attacked without reservation; without fear of death or any pains and even suppressed emotions, these guys were the greatest fighting machines.
Lucifer faced his sister head-on: anger, rage, disappointment, and longing deep in his eyes.
Shining lights filled the starry skies as countless spells exploded at the same time. Powerful divine items bloom with power as the two sides confronted each other. Unfortunately, the angels' light attacks were their nemesis. So, despite the advantage in army sizes, the battle was not in their favor.
Realizing that the situation was not in her favor, Hermione rapidly formulated a counter-measure. Just like Edward, she was connected to Morgana and gained access to her all her processing power.
She connected to the Golem Factory inside the floating city. There are machines designed to mass-produce different levels of golems; as long as there are enough resources and energy, these golems can essentially be mass-produced.
Edward designed the Floating City to be a one-man army; a one-man civilization. With one, arcanists should be able to conquer worlds, planes, and planets.
After gaining access to the factory, Hermione modified the setting to manufacture exo-suits instead of golems. Then, she rapidly created Anti-Light magic enchantments to be placed on these suits.
This was a basic enchantment that focused on keeping positive energy from entering the armor, so it was not that difficult to design.
Immediately afterward, many suits or armors were created and she sent them to the undead army, providing them with protection against the light magic of the angels; this way, not only did she level up the field but also granted her side the advantage.
'My queen, your actions have accelerated the rate that the Aether Core is drained,' said Morgana, making Hermione frown for a brief moment. Then, she used her spell to have her consciousness exit the mirror dimensions and enter the real world.
In an instant, she scanned most of the milky way galaxy and located numerous stars. With a wave of her hand, a large quantity of these stars disappeared before reappearing at the energy core of the Floating City.
Then, she activated the Energy Conversion Enchantments that the Weasley Twins created to convert the heat radiated from these stars into mana; that way, the energy problem was slightly alleviated by converting more than a hundred stars per minute.
Then, she focused on the battle once more. She realized that after the death of any of the angels, a strange power appeared on their bodies to prevent them from turning into undead and joined her sides.
Nevertheless, Hermione still tried her best to steal a few higher angels' bodies; these were valuable research subjects of the Empire. Meanwhile, Snape was focusing on casting curses on Yahweh to weaken him,
This included Energy Draining Curse, Blood Draining Curse, Great Weakening Curse, Soul Weakening Curses, and so on. Which curses he knew, he used them–even if many of them were useless because of Yahweh's high immunity.
His job was to both weakened his opponent and to also distract him.
As for Edward, he used the spell Sectemsempura.
An enormous invisible blade rushed to cut Yahweh apart. A semi-spherical appeared in front of the latter to protect him, however, this blad sliced it off into two. Yahweh felt that this blade could sever any dimensions into two parts.
Then, a white shield appeared to surround him and block off the attack.
"Mortal, you should be proud to make this god take you seriously," said Yahweh for the first time since this fight began. His words sounded like praise but also very condescending.
To him, this was the highest compliment he could give a mortal. Forcing him to use the [Guardian Divinity] to block that last attack, showed that the Internal Sorcerer in front of him was truly capable.
"Now, you can die in peace," continued Yahweh, his voice echoing in all the corners of the mirror dimension.
Time Divinity: Time Stop.
Suddenly, the deep black starry sky turned into white before everybody stopped moving: whether it was the Angel Legion, the Undead Legion, or the four of the Floating City, all of them stopped moving.
With a cold and indifferent look on his face, Yahweh's blue hand descended on the Floating City. The sheer size of that hand is enough to destroy the city more than a hundred times over.
Fortunately, right before his hand landed, a massive gray magic circle appeared on top of the Floating City. A strange wave came from the circle, and immediately afterward, Edward and the other three were no longer affected by the Time Stop.
As soon, as they regained their freedom, Lily erected a High Physical Damage Barrier to the city and protected everyone.
Meanwhile, the others were also breathing slightly out loud. After discovering time magic, Edward has always been worried about people who could stop time as this was one of the most overpowered abilities.
So, he developed anti-Time Stop Enchantments and placed them on the Floating City. Well, not just the city. Even the robes he wore had an anti-Time Stop enchantment, along with an anti-Instant Death Spell similar to Death Touch and so on.
He studied the Time and Death Authority deeply to develop these enchantments, and each time his understanding of these magic increased, he would optimize them.
Edward looked at Yahweh with a deep look on his face. He realized that the reason that the gods were so much more powerful than other magical users or species was because of the power of [Authority].
Based on his recent calculation, he realized that a spell would require at least 100 times or more mana as an energy source to equal any of the weakest attacks used with [Authority].
After all, this power came from the fundamental or natural laws of the universe; fighting against is similar to individual fighting against the entire universe. Or man fighting against nature.
'Morgana, secretly charge the Void Cannon. Then, bring out the Death Staff and the Time Staff.'
