章節 257: Yahweh
A colossal blue hand suddenly came out from the Pacific Ocean and began to tear apart the magic circles that surrounded Earth. Then, from that hand, also came a colossal blue head and upper torso.
Meanwhile, Edward had a shocked look on his face. He thought that Yahweh was hiding in a dimension of his own, hence the reason he placed the magic protection on Earth, to prevent or at least, but him enough time so that he could plunder the population.
But he never thought that the latter was hiding deep under the sea. This was an oversight on his part. Truth be told, it was not totally his fault; it was mainly because he was scarred from the first time he tried to explore the deep sea.
Edward knew that there were as many resources under there as in space. So, in the early days of the Empire, he sent exploring teams deep into the ocean to explore its mystery, find natural resources, and discover what kind of life forms could survive down there.
Unfortunately, he truly regretted his decision. He discovered some very terrifying Eldritch-like monsters underneath there. Just gazing at that creature almost drove someone like him with a special soul insane. In the end, he had to erase his memories and labeled this information as the highest secret of the Empire.
All exploration of the ocean was stopped until further notice, even to this day. He also installed emergency protocols to evacuate from the planet at a moment's notice in case that thing suddenly emerged.
With his paranoia, it was Merlin's words that these creatures were here for a reason and guaranteed him that they would not leave the ocean or attack Earth. However, he also warned him that if he wanted to understand them and their origin, he had to rely on himself.
Back then, Edward was nothing but a Tier 3 Wizard, however, after his journey to the Full Metal Alchemist World and becoming Tier 5, he tried again to watch those memories once more, and the result was the same–albeit he could last a little longer.
Because of this fact, the ocean in general has become a little taboo for him.
Edward reigned in his thought as he quickly ordered Morgana to hurry up. Then, under his control, the magic circles began to surround the giant blue man that floated from the ocean.
'Who dare interfere with my plan for humans?' thought Yahweh as he manifested himself. He already planned to wait a few thousand years and guide humanity to develop parallel dimension technology to help reach a higher level in his God path.
Or at the very least, help him find alien species that have already developed that technology.
Yahweh looked at Edward and roared: "Internal Sorcerer? I thought I already eliminated your kind." After saying these words, a powerful aura emanated from his body.
Immediately afterward, Edward felt it was very difficult to breathe, the blood coursing through his veins seemed to have slowed down, and it became difficult for him to think, move, or do anything for that matter.
Luckily for him, this was not the first time he encountered this situation so he was prepared. A gray shield appeared to protect him and grant him back his mobility.
'Is this the suppression of higher life forms?' Gods and mortals are two different species, two different levels of life. So, just their presence can overwhelm mortals, weakened them, and make them unable to resist.
However, this was not the main reason for Edward's suppression; the reason was because of the vast difference in their Tier.
The moment Yahweh appeared, his Cosmic Awareness activated, and learned something about his opponent:
"Yahweh, Divine Species, Injured Tier 10 Universal God: can only use Tier 9 strength."
After seeing this information, Edward also realized another thing that he overlooked. In the path of Godhood, a lot of faith is required to reach higher Tiers. For example, to become a Tier 9 God, an entire galaxy has to be conquered, and 95% of the individual of that entire galaxy has to worship that God. And that is only if the general population of that galaxy is enough to support the god.
However, the Gods of Earth are very powerful with even a minor God as Dolus being Tier 6 in his prime. As such, the faith of a little planet like Earth should not be enough to breed so many powerful Gods.
There must be a secret behind this.
Morgana suddenly appeared next to Edward, removing him from his thought; "Master, all the people of Earth have been teleported to the city. Are we running away now?"
"No, prepare the city and the others for battle."
"Huh?" responded Morgana before regaining her bearing and nodded. If it was the previous Edward, he would not hesitate to run away especially since he already got what he wanted. However, from what he learned from Solomon, he had to prepare for what to face in the future.
Plus, he also wanted to test the limit of the Floating City. Based on previous data gathered and analysis, he knew that it was a Tier 9 weapon, however, it has not been properly tested in battle against another Tier 9 opponent, and now was the perfect opportunity.
Edward disappeared and when he reappeared, a giant city was floating in the air, facing the enormous Yahweh. He finally had a good look at him.
In terms of size, he was at least 5000 kilometers tall, his blue skin radiated nobility, while his gold robe made him even more divine. He had a jewel on his forehead that looked like a third eye.
With a serious look on his face, Edward looked at his opponent. Then, he talked to Morgana through their Soul Link. "Is everything prepared?"
"Yes, boss."
Immediately afterward, Edward felt a massive surge of mana traveling through his veins. He grunted for a while as it was a little too much for him to bear.
Nevertheless, a look of fascination flash across his eyes; he felt powerful. No, he felt unstoppable. With this amount of mana, Edward felt that there was nothing he could not do, nothing he could not destroy or create.
He immediately cast the Mechanized Mind Spell to remove these distracting thoughts. He knew that they were simply the result of a drastic increase in strength.
If he believed in his thought and became overconfident, then, he would die in this battle.
Meanwhile, Yahweh also had a serious look on his face after seeing the Floating City. He could feel an intense amount of pure mana. Additionally, he had felt a great feeling of danger coming from something in that city.
So, he became vigilant. He did not underestimate his opponent because he was weaker than him. As wise as he was, he would not make such a mistake. Plus, over the years, he also watched how humans have developed weapons that could kill some lesser gods.
Yahweh raised his hand and cast a spell.
Divine Spell: Judgement.
A powerful light enveloped the city, trying to forcibly destroy its protective shield. Not even a few seconds after the attack hit, cracks appeared on it and Edward became even more somber.
The shield of the Floating City is made of Void Energy, so he was very reassured of it. However, he now realized that he might have overestimated its capability. After all, his understanding and use of Void Energy are very primitive.
With enough brute force, it is possible to overcome.
Meanwhile, Yahweh was truly surprised. This attack of his reached Tier 10 and could destroy an entire universe. Adding to the fact that it was concentrated and focused entirely on the city, it should have not only destroyed the shield but all the people and things inside.
'Things have become complicated,' he thought. In his injured state, the amount of Tier 10 attacks he can use is limited.

As Edward realized the crack on the Void Shield, he analyzed the severity of the situation. The crack of the shield cannot be repaired unless it could absorb a large quantity of Void Energy. However, the current situation did not allow this.
Additionally, he also understood that the shield can protect from Tier 10 attacks, however, there is a limit to the number of attacks, so, he cannot waste them.
'Morgana, can you analyze the energy level of an attack and determine its Tier?'
'No problem.'
'In that case, be on the watch. If he uses a Tier 10 attack, deploy the Void Shield, otherwise, use other shields.'
Immediately following his order, the void shield was replaced by one created by mana. Although Edward's tactic seemed unwise to weaken his defense, however, that's because he has to take the long run into account.
It's best to preserve the Void Shield when he needs to run away or in case the enemy decides to use another Tier 10 attack. Based on his estimation, Yahweh should not be able to use a lot of these attacks because of his injury.
While Edward was rapidly communicating with Morgana through their soul, he felt the environment suddenly change. He was still in space and he could see Earth and the solar system. However, his surroundings seemed bleak.
'Danm it,' cursed Edward internally as he realized another difference in level with high Tier individuals. Their speed of thinking and reacting is on a different level from him; he could not even react and did not know what Yahweh did.
"Morgana, bless me with all your processing power. Plus, quickly review what just happened."
"Master, your soul cannot bear such massive processing power."
"Prepare all the Soul Healing Potions we have on board. Have Severus make more in the process, and if things get out of control, use the Pool of Eternal Life to heal me.
"It's about time that I see what my limits are."
Morgana nodded and immediately acted. Edward his mind could calculate everything in the universe in a matter of seconds. Although this was an exaggeration, this was how he felt.
He knew that Morgana's main server–the Brain Room–had a very extraordinary origin and is related to a great secret of the universe. If any of the Gods were to know of its existence, they would not hesitate to massacre everyone in the Empire.
Truth be told, all the rooms that were once located underneath the Ministry of Magic were of similar origins, and they were all equally valuable. Edward has long noticed that the Earth was not a simple little planet.
Whether it is how malleable and odd the frequency of wizard's mana is, all the Main Rooms and their origins, Herpo's strange way of becoming a God, Bermuda's Triangle, Atlantis, and even the unnamed creatures underneath the sea: all proved that this planet was not simple.
And those are probably only the tip of the iceberg.
While all these thoughts rapidly flashed across Edward's mind, he also reviewed and analyzed what spell Yahweh used.
"Mirror Dimension?" he muttered. This Christian God teleported them to a dimension similar to the Mirror Dimension from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As such, although everything looks the same, it is only a reflection of the real universe.
He guessed that the latter wanted to avoid causing large-scale destruction during their battle. After all, with the Floating City, Edward's energy level reached Tier 9, which is enough to destroy a few Galaxies. And the same goes for Yahweh.
However, under this enormous processing power, Edward was able to deduce that Yahweh did not do this out of the kindness of his heart. Most Gods are callous and only care about their believers.
All other people or things are nothing but heathens, sinners, godless, and so on. He would not care how many other lives he would kill in the process of a fight.
Unless there were consequences for doing so. Most likely, there are rules which restrict such a powerful god as him from doing so. And who could restrict such a powerful individual?
Two possible explanations: the Universe's Will or a more powerful individual. Edward favors the latter as a better explanation as this Universe's Will was very dormant or inactive.
Although all of these thoughts flashed through Edward's mind, not more than a second passed by since he arrived in this mirror dimension. So, after coming to a conclusion, he focused on this battle.
With a glance, he analyzed that ordinary Arcane Rune Spells would not work on his opponent. So, he decided to use high-class ones. A three dimensional model of runes and magic circles instantly appeared inside his Soul Space before casting a spell:
Star Armageddon.
Although the spell was 3D inside his mind, it still appeared in the form of magic circles on the outside. More than a hundred thousand magic circles appeared around Yahweh, and from each of them manifested a fireball the size of a star.
The sheer size and gravity generated by these Fireballs bend space-time like any stars in the universe, making the space in the surrounding area very chaotic and difficult to teleport.
Then, all of them exploded at the same time. A heatwave powerful enough to destroy countless solar systems if not galaxies headed straight for Yahweh.
However, the Christian God just opened his mouth and blew, and instantly, the scorching heat of these Star Fireballs was extinguished. Nevertheless, this was not the end of this attack.
Seeming to predict this outcome, Edward used another spell to direct the force generated by the explosion to attack Yahweh. This attack was similar to if someone was punched with the force of more than a hundred thousand stars exploding.
Yahweh's body suddenly lit up for a moment and once the attack reached him, he was only forced to take a few dozen steps back.
'Physical Attack Immunity?' thought Edward as he immediately began his next offensive; he did not want his enemy to have any room to breathe.
Arcane Rune Spell: Cosmic Meteor.
This was a summoning spell, and what did it summon? Everything in Edward's surroundings: planets, asteroids, stars, nebulae. Then, an acceleration spell is applied to them before launching it at the opponent.
As Yahweh watched all these planets and stars falling on him at the speed of light like meteors, he was still calm.
Divine Spell: Death Burst.
A black circular energy wave came from his body and traveled in all directions. And everything that it touched turned into dust; they decayed, they died.
Edward could immediately sense the power of [Death Authority] since he had studied it deeply from Herpo and from the one he stole from Truth. So, he immediately reacted and a black shield surrounded the city to protect it from this attack.
The Floating City was also pushed back after blocking this attack. However, Edward did not immediately attack again. Not because he did not want to but he couldn't.
By now, he was breathing heavily and sweat was dripping from his body. With how strong his body was with [Aura], capable of blasting a hole through a planet with a punch, this showed how bad of a shape he was.
The reason for that was simple: The massive amount of mana flushing through his veins from the Aether Core that powered up the Floating City was the reason he could use such powerful spells.
However, it started to take a toll on his body. Adding to that Morgana's processing power that was weighing on his soul, his situation was not ideal currently.
So, he began to use his Gate of Truth to help alleviate the pressure, and also help him better control the energy from the Aether Core. Unfortunately, he also knew that this measure only allowed him to fight a little longer.
But it was enough.
While Edward was doing all this, a sword made of light suddenly appeared in front of him, ignoring both the City's defense and his personal one, and impaled him.
He had little time to react nor understand what happened to him.
