The Pantheon of Babylonian gods was filled with fear and fury, resisting frantically.
But each time a radiant life form was destroyed, more angels surged forth from the temple’s gates to fill the void.
They seemed endless, unafraid, unangered, executing their master’s commands with cold determination.
They longed for the fall of enemy deities! They yearned for the world’s rebirth!
—Attack the heathens, my God shall be king!
After a fierce battle, as the Babylonian gods saw fewer and fewer companions and more and more radiant life forms, they could no longer hold on:
"Damn things! Accursed fiends!"
With cries of fear and cursing, the Babylonian gods lost their final sliver of courage to resist and started scattering in all directions.
"Those who retreat, die!"
At this moment, the rain was fierce, the wind was wild!
Marduk returned to the battlefield, raising the giant axe in his hand and swinging it forward with a grim countenance.
Twelve hurricanes, along with giant waves and mud flows, swept forward, crushing the fleeing Babylonian deities and creations to dust.
Following that, the Great Authority of the Origin God continued to unfold.
Countless purple lightning serpents wove and danced, spiraling toward the ground and exploding in bursts.
Each thunderbolt that struck transformed a region into a crater devoid of life.
Pitch-black clouds veiled the sky, swallowing the last bit of starlight, as if to drag the battlefield and the entire world into eternal darkness.
as Ishtar, Utu, and Sin, the Three Pillar Gods of the stars, were suddenly heavily suppressed, retreating under the counterattack of the Three Pillar Gods.
Likewise, Tiamat, assaulted by storm and thunder, let out a muffled groan, finding it difficult to combat the Great Authority that transcended all things.
At that moment, a voice seemed to arise within the cold and silent dark, carrying warmth and heat:
"Let there be light..."
In an instant, brilliance like thunderbolts, like blazing suns, like flames burst forth from somewhere, dispelling the darkness, illuminating the world.
The sun and moon resumed their cycle, the stars once again shone bright.
And the storm and thunder that represented the rage of the gods seemed to meet their nemesis, collapsing and dissolving in an instant, with the formerly dark skies becoming clear again.
My Divine Authority is suppressed? How is this possible!
Marduk was full of disbelief, staring intensely at the man who had somehow appeared on the back of Goddess Tiamat
—a body like a gemstone, bathed in light!
Marduk’s eyelids twitched violently, instinctively sensing a hint of danger from opposite him.
After a brief hesitation, the King of Kings resolutely tightened his grip on the Heavenly Destiny Mud Tablet in his other hand, launching a full-scale assault on the enemy before him:
"On earth, let all spirits revere my name as holy, call my name king! If any brings harm, reward and punishment are mine!"
Surging divinity burst forth from within him, forming twelve incarnations of war, each raising a bronze giant axe engraved with cuneiform divine patterns, advancing in unique rhythm toward the figure surrounded at the center, aiming to lock space and time.
Facing the surrounding collapse and crush of time and space, Luo En stood immovable, calmly chanting:
"Let the wrongdoer continue in their wrong, let the vile remain vile. Reward and punishment need not be mine, but repaid to each as they have done..."
In an instant, countless golden characters appeared around, weaving into an indestructible Divine Law that not only blocked the formidable twelve slashes of Marduk but also reconciled the collapsing time and space around.
Despite being in his own realm, he couldn’t suppress this opponent before him.
For the sake of his Divine Business, this variable must not remain!
Marduk gritted his teeth fiercely, once again swinging the bronze giant axe, with the twelve incarnations of war slashing out twenty-four tracks of destruction.
"You started it first, so according to the rules, I won’t hold back either."
Luo En chuckled coldly, his expression shifting to icy:
"—An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
In an instant, the golden Divine Law surrounding him shattered, as thousands of radiant life forms descended along the steps of light. Their wings transformed into spears during the charge, shredding the twenty-four slashes of the bronze giant axe, dispersing the collapsing timespace, pinning Marduk’s twelve incarnations of war on towering pillars of light inscribed with Latin.
The next moment, a holy Golden Fire blazed fiercely, obliterating them in an instant.
Marduk, as if struck by lightning, spat a mouthful of Golden Blood.
The blood splattered onto the Heavenly Destiny Mud Tablet in his hand, reflecting a scene of ominous blood radiance and tragic spectacle.
The king shall lose? How can this be possible?!
Marduk, shaken and enraged, refused to accept the fate inscribed on the tablet. He immediately used his blood as ink and finger as a pen, forcibly altering the contents on it.
As the Divine Law was modified, myriad chaotic scenes erupted across the Babylonian Divine Era.
Rivers flowed backward, mountains collapsed, day and night were reversed...
Consequently, the powers of the Babylonian gods were also affected, taking a more desperate turn under the alliance’s onslaught.
Undeterred by anything but his desire to win, Marduk elevated his Authority to the maximum, summoning seven types of malevolent winds—whirlwinds, typhoons, tornadoes—wielding his mightiest Divine Artifact, Marduk’s Axe, and swung forward with all his might.
The frenzied storm and thunderbolt ploughed through time and space, the entire sky transforming into a seething metal ocean, swearing to bring the destruction of all things.
"The waters divide above and below, creation and annihilation each have their order!"
As a solemn chant accompanied the scene, the flood receded, revealing the land.
The fiery white Light Wings unfurled behind Luo En, covering the entire sky, with each feather transforming into a burning cherub angel. Grasping spinning Wheels of Judgment, they formed a defensive matrix, the scorching Fire of Light dispersing the tumultuous storm and thunderbolt, reinstating stability and completeness to the near-destroyed world.
Undeterred, Marduk hurled the Heavenly Destiny Mud Tablet in his hand, shouting loudly in anger:
The Heavenly Destiny Mud Tablet floated before him, with golden cuneiform runes appearing, automatically writing a victorious future for him.
Simultaneously, the epic of Babylonian gods’ past Glory, "Enuma Elish," was inscribed upon Marduk’s Axe.
Stubborn and unyielding!
Inwardly smirking coldly, Luo En slowly raised an empty hand. Thousands of angels combined into one, forming a cross giant sword in his palm.
"—The remaining enemies, be vanquished!"
With voices shouting passionately, the sword was set ablaze with a brilliant white calamity flame.
The two rulers who had stepped into the Origin exchanged a glance, launching simultaneously their strongest attacks.
The impact from the collision of the two forces tore web-like fractures in the structures of time and space, with ancient stardust spewing from dimensional rifts.
Marduk stiffened, looking down at the gaping hole melted through his chest by the blazing white flame, his face full of disbelief.
"Impossible, this..."
Before he could finish, the Divine Realm of Eshagira behind him collapsed, and the seven-layer Divine Tower representing the continuation of his Divine Authority shattered, dissolving into scattered starlight.
