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.

________

Space-Time Authority, Creation Authority, Guardian Authority: Infinite Dimension.

Yahweh mobilized all his most powerful [Authority] that could help him survive this attack. And once he did this, cracks like a mirror breaking could be seen appearing in the path of the dark gray energy cannon which was the Void Cannon fired by the Floating City.

All the mirror-breaking cracks that appeared on its path are actually dimensions the size of universes being erased from existence. To block this attack, Yahweh created countless universes and placed them on the path of the cannon.

It only takes less than a second for the dense and concentrated void energy to destroy these universes, however, right after that, another one will appear in his place.

Meanwhile, blood was dripping from Yahweh's eyes, noses, and ears. It is not simple for him to mobilize the power of so many [Authorities] at once and control them so perfectly. Not to mention the vast amount of divine energy required to power up such a spell.

He could foresee that his injury will further be aggravated after this fight, and only if he survived. Yahweh could feel that his Divine Kingdom was crumbling because of the massive amount of divine energy he was siphoning from it.

As a result, many of the mortals in Heaven died because of this, their souls forever destroy. However, he did have time to care about these things now. As long as he was alive, he could find ways to gather more believers, and not long afterward, there will be plenty more mortals in Heaven.

So, Yahweh focused on creating countless dimensions to block this attack. He was truly horrified by how destructive this energy that he has never seen before was.

It seems to contain both time and space, and could erase them at the same time; it was like it could return everything to a form of nothingness, and create things from the same nothingness.

Yahweh focused to remove these thoughts from his mind; he wanted to move out of the way of this energy beam, unfortunately, he realized that this was more difficult than expected.

A slight error and he might be hit and be erased.

Meanwhile, Edward was looking at everything with calm eyes. His tactic was to use the cosmic energy to create an illusion of the Floating City, move behind the enemy and kill him with the Void Cannon.

Everything went smoothly except for the fact that his opponent had some keen intuition about danger and acted in time.

"Master, our energy has reached the point that we need to run away."

Edward nodded. Although he wanted to be the final victor in this battle, he understood that it was very difficult to kill a being of that Tier with his current method--especially one who controlled countless [Authorities].

Forget about killing Yahweh, he probably could not prevent the other from running away. And in the current shape of him, the team, and the Floating City, they could not battle any longer.

They had reached their limits.

Nevertheless, he still had one last attempt.

Yahweh kept gathering divine energy as reserved while using some to keep defending. After gathering the necessary amount that he felt was right, he instantly created a thousand universal-size dimensions to place in the path of the cannon, then, he moved out of the way.

Unfortunately for him, the moment he moved, Edward acted.

Obscurius Sword.

Bellatrix has long developed ways to create Artificial Obscurus, and they are considered one of the most powerful weapons of the Empire. Before the Void Cannon was created, this was the weapon that Edward had prepared against the Gods since it was one of the few things that could work on the gods' [Authority].

Although now the Void Cannon existed, it still was not as flexible in terms of use compared to the Obscurius.

The moment Yahweh evaded the cannon, a gigantic black sword made of Obscurius descended on him with unparalleled speed. He only managed to move his body slightly to the left, however, the sword still hit his right arm, and instantly sever it.

The moment the sword touched his shoulder, he felt something eating up his essence. And the moment, his arm was severed, a great chunk of his Divine Essence was also removed with it.

Yahweh knew that healing that arm would not be something as simple as regrowing it; he had to make up for the loss of essence.

Edward sighed after seeing this.

"I guessed an arm is more than enough compensation." With this one arm, he could study many things and do a lot of things. After all, this was the body part of a divine being; one of the highest Tiers.

"Alright, Morgana, let's go."

Under the little elf's control, the Floating City left the Mirror Dimension and traveled to another parallel dimension. The reason that Edward did not leave this world was that the Void Shield was broken, and without it, a great deal of the Floating Cities would be destroyed in the voyage.

So, he had to take some time to rebuild it before returning home.

Meanwhile, Yahweh looked at his missing arm for a moment before placing his attention on his Divine Kingdom. Under his will, the kingdom stopped cracking and returned to normal; at least, it appeared so.

Then, he modified the memories of the surviving souls in the kingdom before leaving the Mirror Dimension. He gazed at the now completely empty Earth and muttered:

"This may be an opportunity for me."

He waved his hand and all the technological advancement of the modern world disappeared, turning the planet into a period similar to the Jurassic era. All the continents instantly fit together into a whole and a brand new race of humans was created by him.

Finally, two souls appeared in front of Yahweh and he used his power to create a new body for them. These two souls were in fact his angels, however, now, they were only Tier 5 angels.

"Go to these new humans to preach my name and help them develop technology as rapidly as possible."

Yahweh did not lose his goal of reaching higher realms, and his next development was in the multiverse. He raised his eyes to look at something deep in the universe and a slight fear flashed across his eyes.

Finally, he entered deep under the ocean to continue his sleep and recovery.

Meanwhile, two old men were watching this entire battle. However, they seemed to exist in a realm of existence that belonged only to them. One of them had a blue magical robe on him, while the other had a white robe similar to Roman's Toga.

"So, what do you think of my apprentice?" asked the old man in blue.

"Sir Merlin, you have accepted a fine apprentice."

"Come on, Yahweh, you can speak freely. As the God closest to becoming an Aspect, there is no need to be reserved."

Yahweh smiled wryly but did not take these words to heart. He was still two tiers from becoming an Aspect, so he did not dare accept such compliment. Although he was considered the god with the utmost talent, unfortunately, the path he chose to become an Aspect made him enemies of all the other gods. And he even blocked the ascension path of the majority of them.

"To be honest, sir, in terms of current strength and talent your apprentice can only be classified in the upper-middle level of the Aspect's Apprentices."

Merlin nodded his head in agreement.

"However, in terms of potential, he might be on par with these guys."

Yahweh knew the current most powerful Aspect's Apprentices were very scary individuals, breaking through the Tier 12 level at a very high speed. However, all these guys have terrifying cheat-like abilities that were either granted to them by Primordial Earth, or they were born with them.

However, there is a group of them called the Golden Generation. These apprentices grew up relying solely on their effort, hard work, and countless trial and tribulations to reach high tiers.

Their master ensured that they did not rely on any Golden Finger or Cheat-like Abilities to grow. The member of the Golden Generations were all referred to as Potential Aspects.

Yahweh could tell that Merlin wanted to train his apprentice to that level, however…

"If you want to say anything, do it," said Merlin.

"Honestly, sir, your disciple seemed too soft. His life has been too smooth and he hardly faced any true difficulties so far in his magical path."

Merlin did not say anything as he understood the reason for Yahweh saying these words. All the members of the Golden Generation have gone through hell. Their master ensured that during their rise.

However, Merlin did not like this method as he saw the downside of it. All the members of that generation are cold, ruthless, and will do anything for the sake of victory, for power; they have no bottom line.

In the current situation of the war, this is indeed a good mentality to have. However, being too ruthless is not necessarily a good thing. For example, abandoning their companions when they showed the slightest weakness is a common thing that the member of the Golden Generation often does.

Additionally, all of them are very individualistic and refused to work together. Everyone under them is a pawn to achieve a goal, sometimes even their friends and families

Merlin did not want his apprentice to become like them. He did not mind him being ruthless and indifferent, but there needs to be some measure. This is the reason that he did not train Edward like his other peers.

He wanted him to have the right amount of coldness, and the right amount of compassion. And maybe, one day, he can influence the others and show them a better way.

________

Based on the poll, the final winner is Harem. So, Lily will be married to the two of them; this should be an interesting dynamic.
