Although the demonic pillars in the Temple of Time had all gone out to search for the Jepha, his possessed body was still Solomon's remains. He possessed a Grand Spirit Origin and was himself the Beast I of the Principle of "Mercy." On his home turf, coupled with his own mass, he did not believe that the alien god could defeat him.
Having learned everything, the demon god sitting on the throne spoke at that moment.
Behind him, a golden halo rotated slightly, its terrifying energy distorting the space within the temple. In that imaginary space shrouded by this energy-distorted spacetime, Goetia, surrounded by a mysterious band of light representing the power of a demon god, stood with a cold expression and eyes that revealed disdain and scrutiny of all things. He spoke with an air of superiority, his voice carrying an undeniable authority:
"You, an alien being, actually dare to attempt to reshape this planet in your own way. What exactly is your purpose?"
"—"
The alien goddess did not answer directly. She was also observing Goetia before her, and asked:
"That's a question I should be asking you, Beast of Compassion. What exactly are you doing now? Why are you trying to stop me? To protect the history of humankind."
"I just wanted to verify some things."
Upon hearing this, Goetia spoke up: "In the past, I believed that the existence of human history was a mistake, which is why I disappointed the Almighty King. Therefore, what I planned was to return to the beginning of the planet's birth, become a new celestial body, and create a perfect world without death. This is also my compassion for this planet and all of humanity. On the contrary, why did you come to this planet that does not belong to you and interfere?"
Before the battle began, Goetia asked what he wanted to know.
He wanted to know the alien goddess's motives and what her purpose was in planting so many imaginary trees.
If the goal was simply to destroy humanity, there would be no need for such elaborate measures.
So he was very curious about what his purpose was in planting the Imaginary Tree.
At this moment, the alien goddess standing not far away did not flinch from the heat emanating from Goetia's burning body. She stood in the center of a strange field interwoven with light similar to that of the Imaginary Tree, and her body radiated a strange light. Her face was calm but carried an indifference that transcended the mortal world. She slightly raised her head, her gaze passing over Goetia, as if looking at the endless distance, and responded unhurriedly.
"Because I felt the call, I have come to correct the errors of this planet. My purpose is to ensure the survival of humanity, to eradicate all evil, to correct the planet, and to rule over humanity."
She calmly said, “Beast I, who embodies the principle of 'Compassion,' I know your story. Your so-called perfection is merely based on your shallow understanding. Although you claim to be omnipotent, you are still just a lowly being on this planet. In my observation, humanity's future has been corrupted and eroded. I bring a new order, allowing humanity to continue in another form. Your idea of returning to the past is nothing but an obsession to escape reality.”
"Shallow understanding, huh... You really dare to say that. You're just a stowaway who hid and fled when I burned humanity. Who gave you such confidence?"
Upon hearing the alien god's reply, Goetia frowned and slowly rose from his throne. He then crossed his arms, let out a cold snort, and the evil power of humanity surged around him, seemingly ready to erupt at any moment.
He clearly scoffed at the alien god's answer as well.
He then bluntly revealed the truth: "Hmph, the New Order? All you've done is turn humanity into a tool to achieve your goals. I once attempted to use the entirety of human history as fuel, just to witness the moment of celestial birth, to obtain that supreme power, to tear everything down and start anew, to return to the primordial state, to personally guide this planet, and to correct all its mistakes. And you, in the end, are nothing more than an outsider who tries to control everything. Does a mere outsider have the right to criticize this planet?"
"You really can't understand me."
The alien god gently shook his head, his body shimmering with light, his tone remaining calm and composed:
"Beast of Compassion, you cling to the power of the past, yet you cannot see the possibilities of the future. Your ultimate failure proves this point. I, on the other hand, come from a distant land, bringing with me the opportunity to break the existing rules. The human history you cherish is, in my eyes, merely a foundation that can be rebuilt. Now, the right future for this planet is to be corrected and guided by me."
"I see... How arrogant."
Unable to find common ground and bound by differing philosophies, Goetia, having obtained the answers he sought, sharpened his gaze, took a step forward, and his aura of light instantly surged:
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. After experiencing so much, I've now found the limitations and errors in my past beliefs, 'The Burning of Humanity,' and I've let go of them. Now let's see if your belief, 'Alien Arrival,' is the right answer."
As he finished speaking, the power fluctuations within the Temple of Time intensified, and a confrontation concerning the future of the world was about to erupt.
"A beast that cannot obtain what it desires."
The alien god naturally had nothing to fear about this.
Although she was not descending in her true form at this moment, the power she had quietly accumulated during the burning of humanity, as well as the integration with the body she was possessing, had long since reached an extremely terrifying level. She did not believe that a mere beast of mercy born on Earth could contend with her.
At this moment, there is absolutely nothing on this planet that can withstand her.
Moreover, she had just planted seven Imaginary Trees on the planet. Although most of them were destroyed by the Goetia's Humanity Burning Light Belt, she acted quickly enough to leave a few still falling. They should take root soon. At that time, the entire history of humankind will be wiped clean in an instant, and Lostbelts will appear on the Earth's surface.
Although there was another formidable magician outside who had reached the pinnacle of magic, the Imaginary Tree she had planted was not so easily withstood. She did not believe that no one could intercept such an offensive technique as Incineration in such a short time.
Perhaps the other party is already overwhelmed with dealing with the unrealistic fantasies from the outside world.
That being the case...
She also needed to hurry up and eliminate Goetia, her biggest unexpected enemy.
The alien gods once again set their sights on Goetia.
Originally, when she planted the Imaginary Tree, her only intended target was Luo Wei, who was below it.
Although she could guess from the way the Human Order Burning ended that the Beast of Mercy hadn't died, she never expected that Goetia would be completely unharmed, and even the accumulated energy was still in his hands.
And the other party actually changed their mind.
This led to a major misunderstanding in the intelligence.
The Beast of Mercy, which she feared most, not only did not die, but instead became the guardian of pan-human history.
This was almost like a joke, but it actually happened right in front of her.
This forced her to take it seriously.
Otherwise, judging from the power shown by Goetia, even if the Imaginary Tree and Lostbelt were planted, they wouldn't have a chance to grow and replace it before being destroyed by Goetia and another troublesome entity, since the difference in strength between them is simply too great.
Thinking of this, the alien goddess began to mobilize her energy. In an instant, thousands of streams of light from the universe began to flash on her body. The powerful magic and the golden light band around Goetia repelled each other, bursting into sparks.
Although the two fully-formed Beasts did not make a move, they simply stood there, releasing energy and power, their expressiveness enough to shatter space and tear apart the ground beneath their feet.
If the Temple of Time hadn't been there to sustain them, and the two had simply started fighting in Antarctica, the entire continent would probably be almost completely torn apart by now.
Then, in the blink of an eye...
The two attacked together.
Goetia's enormous fist, crackling with golden lightning and bands of light, radiated terrifying heat. The destructive power it contained made even the alien god take it seriously.
Instead of taking the punch head-on, she unleashed her magic, summoning a massive phantom of the Imaginary Tree within the Temple of Time. She then controlled the Imaginary Tree to extend countless tentacles, blocking Goetia's punch.
Boom—!!
A violent explosion rang out, and a huge crack was immediately torn open in the Temple of Time.
The first attempt has ended.
The golden lightning in Goetia's hand dissipated, and the Imaginary Tree lost many of its tendrils in the process of resisting.
Although they weren't going all out, after this first round of probing, both Goetia and the alien god realized just how terrifying the other's strength was.
The two men stared at each other, preparing for their next attack.
However, when the alien god saw Goetia, who had dragged him into his territory and still couldn't do anything about him, his expression turned somewhat mocking.
She mocked Goetia, saying that his reasoning was nothing more than that.
Moreover, despite being a collection of Demon God Pillars, he now has no Demon God Pillars by his side. He has failed miserably as a Demon God King and a Beast of Mercy. He should have more pity for himself than for humanity.
These words really hit Goetia where it hurt.
He didn't refute, but instead increased his output and continued his fierce battle with the alien god.
During this time, the Alien God continued to taunt and intensify his attacks in clash with Goetia. Clearly, both of them were gradually getting into a real fight.
"Useless beast of mercy! Whether it is you, your burning of humanity, or your current actions to protect humanity, it is all completely wrong! Only the method I have proposed is the truly feasible path."
The alien god continued, "Besides, you can't protect anything. The Imaginary Trees are about to fall to the ground, and then everything will end. You can't stop it. That magician outside alone can't stop all the Imaginary Trees!"
"……Yeah?"
Before Goetia could answer, another voice suddenly appeared in the Temple of Time.
"you are?"
The alien god's gaze was drawn to it the next moment.
"What are you here for?"
When Geitia saw the familiar figure appear, his expression was somewhat surprised.
"Oh, so you're the magician from Chaldea who possesses the divine domain?"
Sensing the magic emanating from Lovi, and considering the tragic state of the Hidden Ones not long ago, the Alien God quickly recognized Lovi's true identity.
This was precisely the hypothetical enemy he had previously imagined.
She just didn't expect that the other party would appear here at this time.
Shouldn't he be dealing with the Imaginary Tree?
Why are you here?
Although the alien goddess looked puzzled, she was still very happy to see Luo Wei there.
Since the other party has appeared here, it probably means that my goal has been achieved and the Imaginary Tree has successfully landed.
If that's the case, then you still win.
Lostbelts should have already appeared, and the entire planet has been reduced to a blank slate.
"It seems the Dream Tree has finally landed..."
The alien god said smugly, "Even with some preparation, you still couldn't defeat me. So you're nothing special after all."
"Beast of Mercy, you're still too green!"
"Don't get too cocky, you rascal."
Seeing the alien god's arrogant demeanor, Goetia raised his fist, ready to launch another attack.
Although he secretly believed that Luo Wei had failed to prevent the Imaginary Tree from falling to the ground, it was nothing to him to really care about.
Even if the Imaginary Tree falls to the ground and a Lostbelt appears, all we need to do is destroy it.
All he has to do now is tear this jerk's mouth apart.
However, just as the alien goddess was feeling incredibly smug about her victory, Luo Wei, who had already arrived, poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
"—No, the Imaginary Trees not only didn't land, but they were all eliminated."
"what?!"
The alien god was startled.
"nothing is impossible."
Luo Wei shook his head and said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you go and feel your trees and see where they are?"
"Impossible, you're lying. The connection between the Imaginary Tree and me still exists, how could it be broken?"
Upon hearing Luo Wei's words, the alien goddess was slightly taken aback, and the smile on her face completely disappeared in the next moment. She hurriedly closed her eyes to sense the situation of the Imaginary Tree.
"How is this possible?!"
Soon, her expression completely changed.
