Chapter 1893: Dimension Collapse
"Defend against it!" The Gods of War shouted as they could feel the battle swaying over to the side of the Goddess of Light Luminaria if the spell hit all of the followers or soldiers.
The goddess fragment lost its current appearance as it transformed back to what it really is. The Goddess of Light Luminaria immediately hid this shard in fear that the other gods might know what it really is. The previous spell was empowered to the point that it has defense penetration which she loved even more.
"All the ones that dare to defy me will die in my holy light!" The Goddess of Light Luminaria shouted as her laughter echoed with the increasing explosion of light.
The Gods of Water immediately created curtains of water to try and contain the light explosion. The water made contact with the light explosion, but it immediately turned to steam. The gods did notice that the spell became weaker in comparison. The other gods tried using their own powers as well to at least make the light explosion weaker.
If the gods do not weaken the light explosion spell, then the only ones left in the battlefield will be none other than them. The gods of justice already sacrificed their collected divine essence and holy relic to make sure that all of the mortals will live but the sudden enhancement of the Goddess of Light Luminaria's spell was not something they have foreseen. Even the Goddess of Magic Hecate suddenly saw three different crossroads that are newly presented.
The first path in the crossroad that she saw is an end where only gods are left to combat the Goddess of Light Luminaria. They will be able to stall for more time, but they will ultimately fail in stopping the Goddess of Light Luminaria's conquest. This is not the one road that they would want to walk as that would weaken the standing of the Gods of Pandemonium. She could feel an even more terrible future in that crossroad.
The second path in the crossroad is that more gods sacrifice their divine energies and holy relics. This path would lead to the survival of most mortals, but they would then be slaughtered by the Goddess of Light Luminaria. In the end, all the mortals in the battlefield will be killed by the Goddess of Light Luminaria as she has fully transformed into a Mad Goddess.
The third path in the crossroad is not something that even the Goddess of Magic Hecate can predict. She could barely see this possibility which is incredibly unfamiliar to a goddess that could see the immediate result of each crossroad. She is a goddess that must only guide people towards their crossroads, but she was now the one that needs to choose for the first time.
"The third path is uncertain, but I can see some of it. It entails me sacrificing my current holy relic and divine energy that I used to empower the demon flying up above our heads. To think that the Goddess of Crossroads will now need to choose a path where mortals will live." The Goddess of Magic Hecate thought as she also started to laugh from the twist of fate.
"It seems that my sisters, the Fates, are also messing with me at this point in time but they are the ones that know the future more than me. I shall entrust the future to an uncertain path, but I feel is the best one. Demon with the power of the source... I shall entrust the future to you." The Goddess of Magic Hecate muttered as she looked towards Adrian.
The Goddess of Magic Hecate put all of her holy relics together as she told her followers to give them all their mana. The mages that heard the will of their goddess did not even blink as they willingly gave up all their mana or at least what they can give without being a detriment to them. All the mages suddenly felt weak in the knees as numerous amounts of mana left their bodies and flowed towards the Goddess of Magic Hecate.
"I thank my followers for the trust. This goddess has chosen the best path forward for your survival. I know that all of you will also do the same given the choice that I have." The Goddess of Magic Hecate stated as all her holy relics finally fused.
The torch, the dagger, and the keys all fused together to create a large flaming dagger key weapon. The Goddess of Magic Hecate also showed her true form for a few seconds which was three veiled goddesses with different age ranges. All three goddesses look different from each other but simultaneously the same as they are the same goddess in essence.
The Goddess of Magic Hecate then directed all of the magic that she acquired and gave it towards Adrian. The demon was suddenly surprised that he got a powerful buff from the Goddess of Magic Hecate as he knows that they have yet to interact. Even Adrian knew that the Goddess of Magic Hecate is not that pleased with demons because Origin Magic is not something even, she could easily use.
[The Goddess of Magic Hecate has given you, her blessing.]
[You are now in a state of Magic Perfection.]
[You can now use any magic spell without any restriction or mana cost.]
[If the spell that you chose is something that exceeds your level or is a spell that cannot be used by the current you, it will be sealed for six months after using it after the state of Magic Perfection.]
[You will not receive any adverse effects even in casting spells that are above you.]
"Champion Equinox, I have given you the ultimate blessing that I only give to my Envoy of Champion. Use it well as we only have one chance. That one chance will define the future that all of the mortals in the world."The Goddess of Magic Hecate stated as she vanished, and her holy relics disintegrated.
Adrian did not know why the Goddess of Magic Hecate would suddenly entrust him with such a large responsibility, but he would not argue with a goddess that powerful. The Goddess of Magic Hecate is a real High Goddess, but she can only descend as a Greater God due to the world restriction. Also, Adrian did have a spell that he could not use before because it was something that even Ascalor could not easily use.
"It was as if she could read my mind." Adrian thought as he looked at the spell that was previously grayed out. This was the spell that he knew could turn the tables and save all of the players that trusted him to save them.
"Since she made sure to trust me then I should reciprocate such trust from the Goddess of Magic. Dimension Collapse!" Adrian shouted as all of his mirrors suddenly spun around him in such a fast speed.
The light explosion that was spreading towards the entire battlefield suddenly is put to a halt. It was not just the light explosion but all the beings in the battlefield were frozen in time. Even the gods that were more powerful than Adrian was frozen in time when he uttered the spell. It was a feat only doable because he was in a state of Magic Perfection.
The state of Magic Perfection is a powerful state of magic overload where the mage could cast any spell without casting, spell chanting, or damage to the user's body. The mage will also have all their most powerful spells have a one second cooldown and all restrictions erased. This means that anyone in this state could fire off Mythical tier magic every second.
Usually, the Envoy of Magic or the Champion of Magic would be able to enter this state for ten seconds. Adrian was only temporarily gifted this state which is why he can only use it for one spell but that is all he needed. One spell is all he needed and that was the ultimate spell accessible to the Rift Walker.
[Please choose a dimension that will collapse and the intended concentration point.]
Adrian is suddenly given a choice between the mortal dimension or the mirror dimension. If he chooses mortal realm, he could damage even the other mortals. Due to the obvious reasons, Adrian chose the mirror dimension which is just a layer of the mortal realm. Choosing to collapse this dimension will not hinder or harm any of the mortals in the battlefield.
As soon as Adrian finished choosing the dimension and concentration point, the entire battlefield shook. The mirror dimension where Adrian was hiding is now fully seen by all the souls in the battlefield. The said dimension suddenly started to fold into itself as it was collapsing and in the center of the collapse is none other than the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
"What is happening!?" The Goddess of Light Luminaria shouted as she could see her light explosion suddenly condensing towards her instead of spreading out.
