The Mercury Serpent is now in its lowered state, and it no longer possesses the immortality that disregarded the timeline it had when it was seated.
If this were to fight Reinhardt, it would surely drag Mercury Serpent down with it.
"So this god is a good friend of the fourth heavenly ruler... No matter how you look at it, the relationships between gods are so complicated."
Haimura Moroha found it hard to accept the premise that they were destined to be enemies, and also close friends and lovers. He felt very uncomfortable no matter how he imagined the situation.
Looking at the statue in front of me, it's hard to imagine what the friendship between the statue and the Fourth Lord of the Seats is like.
"It's best to keep things to yourself and not say them out loud. The first three generations are alright, after all, this god is still alive."
Tsuchimikado Ryusui glanced at Haimura Moroha and said something that made everyone present break out in a cold sweat: this god was not dead yet.
Just by looking at his reasoning, you can tell he's a god you shouldn't mess with. Maybe just mentioning his name will make him feel something.
"Let's move on to the next level. I don't want to stay in this simulated war graveyard anymore."
Shana didn't care whether she spoke ill of the god or not. She didn't like this god with an inhuman personality to begin with, so she naturally wouldn't give him any face, after all, they were enemies in their previous lives.
After Tsuchimikado Ryusui and Shana set off, everyone, having learned the truth about this space, also disliked its atmosphere.
Apart from the heroic spirits, everyone present was alive, so naturally they didn't really like the war god who led the dead in a dance.
For warriors, the Asura Realm is a paradise, but for ordinary people, it's no different from hell.
Not wanting to linger, the group headed to the seventh level of the temple space. Although they were curious about what the next god would look like and what his reason would be, they hoped even more that he would be a little more normal, like the fifth god, and not come up with any more domineering reasoning that seemed to forcefully dominate the entire world.
Aside from the reincarnation of the Goddess of Twilight on the fifth day, the people who went to the next level felt that the domineering gods were all beings with extreme thoughts and inhuman nature.
The only gentle and normal goddess of dusk in their eyes seemed strangely out of place among this group of extremists.
Tsuchimikado Ryusui and Shana were also speculating about who the next statue would be. Although they were curious, they were certain that the next statues would all be of familiar faces.
With various thoughts in mind, the group passed through the darkness and arrived at the seventh level of the temple space.
The atmosphere in this space is also strange, and there is some discomfort, but it doesn't feel like the feeling of being plundered and invaded that you get in the previous Asura Path Supreme Heaven.
Instead, I felt a strong sense of constraint that prevented me from moving, as well as a very strong sense of security, as if I would not be harmed as long as I was here.
The spatial structure that comes into view is similar to the space of the Fourth God statue, with the colors being blue... no... to be precise, a pure and bright blue-white.
This place shares the same stagnant atmosphere as the Fourth Heavenly Statue Space, so enclosed that one cannot sense any exit, leaving one with nowhere to escape or go.
However, unlike other places, the feeling of stagnation here is not suffocating, but rather a somewhat contradictory feeling.
First came a pure, spring-like feeling, then a frozen atmosphere.
It's like two sides of the same coin, with both good and bad aspects.
The surrounding murals and pillars are carved with beautiful lotus flowers, which gives people a special sense of beauty, but the use of some blood-red pigment also makes people feel a chilling sense of ruthlessness.
Contemplating this strange and contradictory feeling, everyone looked toward the center of the temple room, where a female deity statue was placed.
Upon closer inspection, the statue bears a striking resemblance to the Lord of the Fourth Heavenly Throne, seated serenely on a pedestal, with a six-winged scythe-like maiden emerging from her back.
Tsuchimikado Ryusui and Shana looked at the face of the statue, frowned and thought for a moment, and finally remembered who it was.
After all, they hadn't met many times in their previous lives, and Shana had only fought with him, so she didn't know him well.
Furthermore, given that the other party had been growing up under Skadi's protection throughout the early stages, it's simply unrealistic to expect them to understand the other party's character.
Unexpectedly, the other party also became a domineering god. The first impression of the other party was not so unlikable, but the resemblance of the Fourth Heavenly Lord in appearance was a downside.
The other party must also have a close relationship with the Mercury Serpent, just like the Golden Beast. This is a guess that Tsuchimikado Ryūsui and Shana came up with based on their memories of their past lives, combined with the other party's appearance.
However, speculation is one thing, but to truly understand someone, one should read the inscriptions on their tombstone and combine the perspective of the religious order with one's own memories to gain insight into their character.
Thinking this, Shana became very interested in this being she had fought in her previous life. She stepped forward to look at the inscription carved on the base of the platform, then softly deciphered it, saying:
"[This person relinquished his throne as a god and voluntarily became a cornerstone of the goddess of the fifth day, Ragnarok. Therefore, he has a deep connection with the current ruler of the fifth day and is recorded here by our order.]"
"[This person is the sole and legitimate successor of the Fourth Heavenly Lord. Their essence is a divine creation, a relic and embodiment of the Lord's will. Created from the jewelry bestowed upon the goddess in order to allow the Fourth Heavenly Lord to properly contact the goddess who executes decapitated beings, this person also bears the responsibility of guarding the guillotine goddess's scabbard.]"
"[In the horror drama of the fourth day, this person serves as the guardian of the immature goddess of dusk, guiding her to exude dominance. Due to a deep connection with the master, this person is also the master's touchpoint in the human world. Similarly, due to a close connection with the master, this person can clearly sense the anomalies of the fourth world, but instead of feeling rejection or reaction, they enjoy and indulge in the tranquil, mechanical life.]"
Hearing this, not only were the people present puzzled and surprised, but even Shana and Tsuchimikado Ryusui couldn't figure out where the strangeness they had sensed in Fujii Ren came from.
This person does not dislike or resist the endless cycle of the world, and even genuinely enjoys this mechanical and mundane life that keeps repeating itself.
While others couldn't stand it, hated and loathed the world that had returned to the Fourth Day of Eternal Calamity, Fujii Ren did what he was supposed to do, just like the native inhabitants of the Fourth Day, and didn't dislike the monotonous sense of familiarity at all.
His origins were abnormal, yet he did normal things, which made him seem very abnormal to other beings like Reinhardt and Skadi.
Just as Yuza Shirou said, he has never seen anyone else besides you, Fujii Ren, who can enjoy this detestable sense of déjà vu.
The others present, besides being surprised that this person could not resist the infinite cycle of reincarnation, were actually the creation of the Fourth Heavenly Lord.
The other party is the embodiment of the Lord's relic, an extension of his will, and was created specifically to make contact with the goddess who would be beheaded if touched.
It is the guardian of the goddess of dusk, serving as her scabbard.
If that's the case, then this is where the goddess of dusk was able to make normal contact with others, right?
"[However, those who are inherently extraordinary are destined not to enjoy the life of normal people; they are at the very center of the master's horror drama, unable to escape, and unable to go anywhere.]"
"[This woman showed anger towards others who perceived the world's anomalies and went mad, taking action to intrude into her life. She hated anyone who disrupted the peace, and the inability to understand each other was destined to lead to conflict.]"
"[However, this was exactly what the Fourth Lord had planned. The woman, who considered herself an ordinary person, was naturally drawn into the struggle between the heterogeneous individuals. For those who disrupted her peaceful life, the woman raised the butcher's knife set up by the Lord, executing and beheading the madmen in the horror drama.]"
"【Gripping the Goddess's Blade tightly, determined to protect the Goddess and everything I cherish in peace, the horror drama of tonight officially begins.】"
"[In the later part of the story, this person completely severed ties with the master and parted ways with him, existing as an independent life form that does not rely on anyone, and stealing the love of the Twilight Goddess, whom the Fourth Master longed for day and night.]"
Everyone present understood that this person was the hero designated by the Lord of the Fourth Throne, who offered the jewelry to his beloved goddess.
But in the end, it seems things went too far, and he ended up being sexually assaulted by a woman. Just thinking about that... made everyone present want to laugh, to burst out laughing.
However, they managed to hold back because of Tsuchimikado Ryūsui's earlier reminder.
This god... has no ambition or desire. If there is any desire, it is simply to continue enjoying his peaceful life.
Therefore, people couldn't understand what kind of mentality this god had in enjoying a peaceful life.
Even though you can clearly sense that everything you do feels like something you've done a million times before, you can still enjoy it. Anyone else would say they couldn't do that.
However, precisely because of this, this person is destined to be unable to understand other heterogeneous individuals and will inevitably have conflicts with them, which is exactly what the Lord of the Seat wants to see.
This deity must have a very important role on the fourth day, after all, he played the role of the goddess's protector and guided her to exude a domineering aura.
No matter how you look at it, this person is the one most easily manipulated by the Lord of the Fourth Throne.
Because of their mutual incomprehension, anyone who entered her peaceful life was destined to become her enemy unless they could accept her tranquility and continued to cause trouble in her sight.
Tsuchimikado Ryūsui felt this deeply, as did Shana, who continued to interpret the inscription:
"[This person cherishes every moment and values instants, thus desiring to 'preserve the joy of fleeting moments, to freeze the beauty of a fleeting scene in its most beautiful form.' The principle they desire to achieve is to fully embody eternity, to freeze all things, to solidify the world into eternity, to make everything unchanging, thus completely stopping the flow of time.]"
"[Once this principle is activated, no one can act except for those who wish to spend time with it. Because time stops, one can also achieve immortality. Beautiful moments and beloved people can be with one forever, truly an eternal and unchanging dream.]"
"[If the Lord of Reason were to reign supreme, all time in the infinite parallel worlds would cease, leaving only himself and those who wish to spend time with him to share the moment. Furthermore, the defenses he develops from his desire to 'protect his beloved' would become an unbreakable fortress, ensuring that he would never lose anyone he cares about.]"
"[What appears to be a beautiful paradise is, in essence, a manifestation of the Avici Hell.]"
"[Once the principle takes its seat, except for a few cherished individuals, all things become solidified, and there is no possibility of new life being born. The probability of a domineering godhead emerging to replace it is infinitely close to zero. Therefore, the universe and the world no longer possess any meaning, and everything will desperately await an impossible death in eternal stillness.]"
Well, it seems like a wonderful desire, but in essence it is the Avici Hell, which is no worse than the previous Asura Path.
Everyone's lips twitched involuntarily. This logic only benefits those who care about it, but it is extremely harmful and useless to everyone else, the masses.
After all, time would stand still forever, and everything would be frozen.
Unable to move, unable to think, unable to resist—this sounds no different from the afterlife, so calling it the Avici Hell is justified.
What was clearly a beautiful and normal desire has been transformed into an extreme and evil principle when it is used as a domineering one. This result truly makes one sigh at the cruel twists of fate.
Moreover, once the other party's reasoning has spread to all things, it means that everything has stopped, and new life will never be born.
Therefore, not to mention the birth of new gods, the throne of gods will never be replaced again.
Based on the points above, this deity, like the golden beast on the previous level, is simply not suitable for taking a seat.
However, the subsequent interpretation of the inscription made everyone present realize that this deity was not extreme.
"[He himself was well aware of his own principles, realizing that they were extremely harmful and useless to the world. Therefore, he honorably relinquished this throne to the goddess of twilight, abandoning the throne that controlled all things, and willingly transformed into the goddess's executioner's blade to live.]"
"[As for the nature of her desire, this desire lacks aggression, because it is essentially defensive. From the perspective of ordinary people and enemies, it is a hell of freezing and annihilating the enemy, but for this person herself, and for the world she sees, it is not like that. The desire is not to lose the beautiful moment, so she stops, so time stands still, for the sake of the domineering protection.]"
"[Daily life, friends, sunshine, love... Time, stand still—for of all things in the world, you are the most beautiful! With this vow, I pledge to protect the love of the goddess, to cherish every precious moment of love.]"
"[This is the tale of the hero who fought for the Goddess of Twilight on the fourth day, a hero who dedicated himself to the goddess's new world, the complete truth this god bore.]"
"【The name of the deity is Eternal Moment.】"
"【Gods Created Heaven and Earth - The Great Crimson Lotus Hell of Avici Hell】"
That concludes the explanation. After understanding the true nature of this deity, everyone offered their respects.
Eternal moments, endless purgatory—these sound incredibly ferocious, and in essence, they are indeed so.
The name "Infernal Red Lotus Hell" truly reflects Fang Li's vicious nature.
Everyone understood what the god's wishes and principles were.
His theory is to freeze time in an instant, to stop the operation of everything in the universe in that instant.
This moment in human life is stretched infinitely, becoming eternity.
Whether it is perfect bliss or painful struggle, this moment together becomes eternal.
The other person's desire is neither ugly nor particularly noble, but it makes one feel the strength of this person in protecting others and the love that cherishes every fleeting moment of beauty.
I am self-aware and know that my own path has no future, that it is the deepest hell, so I will not sit on it.
He relinquished his status as God, allowing the goddess of twilight whom he protected to ascend to the throne, transforming himself into the foundation of her, and living as her executioner's blade.
Seeing the wonderful world we live in today, we can deeply feel the other person's awareness and the firm strength that comes from that awareness.
Eternal Moment—that is the name of this god, truly a domineering god whose personality matches his name.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Divine Idols and Names - Crimson, God Creates Heaven and Earth - The Garden of Eden
Eternal Moment is a god that is most familiar to countless viewers.
Although the other party's "reason" is inherently too vicious, it is merely a product of an overly idealistic desire to the extreme.
