245: Star Eater - Ort (6k)
Looking ahead, the underworld Mictlan was shaking violently because of the water monster Hipparchus that was kicked in here.
Then the thick fog that had covered the entire underworld came to an end due to this shaking. After the fog dissipated, there was a vast ocean and the connected islands on the sea. At this moment, everything in the underworld was dyed with a layer of shining gold because of Favia's arrival, and it looked extremely dazzling.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, those guys, I must kill them all one by one!"
After being kicked into the underworld by Favia, Hipparchus could no longer contain his rage. For him, who stood at the top of the world in Central and South America, it was a great shame to be humiliated like this.
It naturally knew the reason why Favia wanted to use its left leg, which was because of the Smoke Mirror. It was because the Smoke Mirror sacrificed its left leg as a trap that gave the Four Original Sons the opportunity to kill it in one fell swoop. Therefore, Hipparchus, who could feel the authority of the God of Cunning from Favia, naturally understood that this was this human being taking revenge for the Smoke Mirror.
“Hahahahahahahahahaha, Hippolyte, I didn’t expect that this day would come to you!”
Smoke Mirror, who had lost his divine power and authority, laughed when he saw Shipaktri reduced to this state.
And then, looking at Favia carrying the huge mystery on his back, Smoke Mirror raised his head, divine light bursting from his eyes, and his magnificent voice resounded throughout Mictlan.
"Come on, Favia, you tell him what you should do when facing the incarnation of the rules of the old world, as the sun that cherishes life the most, as the god that commands all gods - the Fifth Sun!"
"Kill, destroy, and rebirth."
This is the only unquestionable answer.
"Totally kill Hippolyte, who represents everything in this world's past."
The answer is clear. Favia has to kill the incarnation of the ancient world at all costs to mark the birth of the new solar era.
Otherwise, there is no choice.
After all, the future of this cruel world will eventually be rewritten, even though the enemy is the most terrifying existence in this pantheon.
But Favia was determined that as the fifth sun, he must kill him and would never compromise.
Faced with such a situation, you can only believe in yourself and everything you are willing to believe in.
So the man saw everything that made up the 'Fifth Sun', everything that had been and was on this continent.
"I am the messenger of Quetzalcoatl, the Second Sun."
"There is no such thing as a timid mind."
The salute from the smoke mirror earlier rang out beside him, as if all the magic power provided and the authority obtained were shouting in the same way.
At the same time, the words given to everyone at the Great Temple at the beginning also rang out like this, as if it were a question and an answer.
"I am the one who will bring an end to the world of destruction, bloodlust and war."
"There is no will to bend."
Behind the man, a sound suddenly burst out, as if countless voices rang out, as if an incredible miracle emerged. Those were the souls that remained in the underworld in the past solar era. Then, endless souls seemed to be endowed with substance, turning into brilliance, converging together in a myriad of ways.
“I know who I am.”
“There is no voice that ignores suffering.”
The terrifying magical fluctuations resided in Favia's body, transforming into golden and green weapons, a beautiful atmosphere that made people want to fall asleep, and even a crystal clear crown. There were even endless phantoms that appeared faintly, and even the phantom of "Maya" that merged together...
The dream of all lives living in this cruel world, filled with longing for the infinite sky, the eternal sun, and the void.
"I will let you in the Aztec and Mayan world see--"
"Born in the lands beyond and beyond, you will destroy the resurrected evil in the eyes of all beings."
At this moment, the road in the underworld that was paved with blood and corpses disappeared completely and turned into various brightly colored flowers.
A miracle comparable to a disaster unfolded along with the outline of the sea of flowers. The colorful torrent swept towards the underworld representing death, engulfing everything and turning everything into life, which still turned into pillars to support the existence of the Sun Dream.
"Who will I be?"
"You are the Sun, you are the Sun of many."
The next second, Favia put all his strength into this next attack.
It gathers the prayers and hopes of all living beings on the entire continent. What would happen if this immeasurable power were gathered in one place?
What would happen if all the power of the world was gathered into one person?
The answer has now become a reality and appeared before the eyes of the water monster Hipparchus.
Before, Shipaktri was sure that he would win in the end, so he was not afraid at this moment. But at this moment, at the moment when his concentration reached the limit, Shipaktri felt a strange sense of disharmony, as if some decisive weirdness suddenly occurred.
This excessive sense of disharmony even made the water monster feel confused.
What on earth is this? What is so strange?
The source of this feeling of disharmony must exist somewhere. At this extreme point of concentration, time seemed to pass by like a revolving lantern, stretched dozens of times. During this time, Hipparchus was looking for something unusual, and then he finally noticed it.
The source of the disharmony was Favia, who was looking at him - the shadow of the sun around him.
The shadow of the sun, did not wave.
If it was a normal flame, or a normal flame authority transformed into the sun, it would never remain motionless.
But the shadow of the sun still remained where it was—
No, that's not right. It was moving, but it was just a poor imitation of Favia's movements, chasing after him.
Hipparchus immediately understood that it was the shadow of the sun that could not keep up with this human.
How could this happen?
Impossible, how could this be possible.
However, this impossible phenomenon was engraved in Shipaktri's mind.
Confused and terrified, the water monster infused this phenomenon and awe into a name, calling it:
"Maya."
The fifth sun that devoured the gods was born in the era when the Age of Gods disappeared, and was not recorded in the concept of "fate" called the Solar Calendar Stone.
The ultimate sun, 'Maya', transcends fate and seeks to break the rules of the world.
Therefore, the world itself will burn up in the flames, everything will turn to ashes, the flames will go out, night will fall again, and the land that has become a wasteland will suddenly be blown by strong winds. The strong winds will capture the remaining ashes, as if to negate everything and completely eliminate all traces of life.
And this attack will inevitably be accepted by the water monster Hipparchus.
He can really destroy himself completely in this era.
Shipaktree thought.
"I can't understand. Don't you want to be the sun? As the sun, shouldn't you maintain the order of the world? How about this? Let me go. There's no need for human sacrifice. If you need a soul to be eaten by me, I can also give it to you. I can help you. My role is far more than those so-called gods! Why do you have to kill me? We can discuss it!"
Hipparchus, who fell into the underworld, felt fear. He was afraid that all the mysteries of this land would be passed on to the man who destroyed the rules of the world without reservation. This scared him, who thought he was in a great advantage. He didn't want to die, not at all.
If possible, it even wanted to surrender on the spot, but now the Central and South American world is itself, and Favia came here to destroy this ancient world, so Hipparchus could only persuade again to avoid his own death.
In the stillness, the man who had come silently paused for a moment and looked at Shipaktri, as if he didn't understand why such a simple question was asked.
"why?"
He said, "Because someone is crying at the sacrifice, and I heard it, so I came to destroy it all and start everything new."
Silence, sudden.
In the underworld, the already terrified Hipparchus widened his eyes in shock.
I can't believe it, it's so simple, just for a mere human, a useless human...
In this silence, there was suddenly an unstoppable laughter, so unbridled, as if one had covered his stomach with laughter and could not stand up.
“Haha, hahahaha, hahahahaha, did you see it? Hipparchus, this is something much greater. Although the world has ended, it has not been destroyed… That’s right, things will revive after extinction. Even if a country or civilization perishes, there will still be things that survive, and no one can erase this fact!”
The first sun, which had already transformed into an illusion, laughed and announced:
"——The future will continue forever!"
At this moment, under the announcement of the smoke mirror, Favia, who was rushing towards Hipparchus' heart, turned red all over, just like the first ray of light in the morning, melting from the skin all the way through the heart.
At that moment, the sky and the earth were dark, and all things were submerged in darkness.
Then, light came from the universe, giving new life to this land, a system of alien bacteria from the meteorite - 'Maya'.
This is a replay of the original myth before any solar era was born, a replay of the source before Ometiotto gave birth to the Lord of Flayed, the Smoky Mirror, the Quetzalcoatl, and the Left-Blade Bird. Everything was in darkness until the arrival of 'Maya'.
This is the starting point of this world, which will completely end the endless darkness and bring the light of the true sun!
When it fell on the crumbling body, Hippolyte let out a scream, but now it was of no use even if he displayed his endless brutality and hideousness.
The afterglow of the Sun of Origin gushed out from Favia's body, and the terrifying burning wind tore Hipparchus apart, splitting him into horrible flesh and blood.
Eventually, Hipparchus, the water monster that symbolized the ancient world's past, died.
The rules of this cruel world are slowly changing in accordance with the sun that rules this new solar era.
This war, which the gods could not easily survive even in the Age of Gods, ended just like that. This might be the final elegy of this ancient world of Central and South America. From this moment on, perhaps the mystery remaining on the land will never be the same as it is today.
When everyone in Tenochtitlan saw the dimmed solar calendar stone light up again with four suns, they understood -
The dust has settled.
The water monster Hipparchus was killed again, and this time, it was not the Four Originals, but... Favia.
In the silence that seemed to be eternal, people saw miracles emerging from the solar calendar stone.
First Sun's Jaguar.
The second sun's gale.
The rainstorm of the third sun.
The Flood of the Fourth Sun.
The miracles represented by the four sun gods appeared spontaneously, and at the same time the shadow of the water monster Hipparchus also appeared.
The ground reflects the dazzling sunlight. The city built on the Moon Lake is actually very different from the Moon Lake which has the same spiritual veins as the Inner Sea of the Stars, but it is still very beautiful.
In the end, the four great wonders on the Solar Calendar Stone were possessed by one person, who successfully killed Hippolytus and ushered in a new and unique Solar Era.
That person radiated a gem-like radiance, and was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind. Although no one mentioned his life, I'm afraid everyone knew who he was talking about.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was just the right timing, when Favia returned from Mictlan, he saw this scene.
Favia looked up at the solar calendar stone floating in the air. The symbols of the four suns were falling, allowing the most magnificent and dazzling fifth sun to rise.
Even though the dazzling thing that appeared before my eyes was so sparkling and dazzling.
The man who founded the city below stands under the cover of the solar calendar stone, so he seems to blend into the shadow of the night and is reflected in the hearts of all people in Central and South America.
From high above, the difference seems so small, so insignificant.
But it also seems as clear as the past and the future.
After destroying the old world, the Aztec gods would inevitably create the next world.
The center of the world or the flourishing of the life of the world itself provides shelter - it is the sun.
First Sun Tezcatlipoca.
The Second Sun Quetzalcoatl.
Tlaloc, the Third Sun.
The fourth sun is Chalchiutriqui.
People who live here will witness the world of the sun, destruction and creation, death and birth.
There are five suns carved on the "Sun Stone" in the temple of Tenochtitlan at this moment, representing all of the past and present.
The world after the Age of Gods belongs to humans, and there is no need for a god named "Sun" to appear or be born.
Therefore, the Fifth Sun will disappear sooner or later.
Then, in the eyes of everyone, Favia, who was like the sun, seemed to have sensed something, touched the solar calendar stone, and then disappeared again.
.......
Under the ancient continent where the power of the Age of Gods finally emerged, everything that only existed in the Age of Gods briefly emerged.
The center of the world in Mayan mythology, the cosmic tree Gibe.
The thirteen heavens and nine underworlds of Aztec mythology.
Then, in a blue valley, the blue light was sparse and faint, flickering as if in a sign of the approaching end of the world.
It is an existence that will not wake up unless the planet calls out, but it begins to act because of the foreign object in its heart.
