“Boom!”
Giant arms extended from the palace with painful, desperate, and bewildered howling.
“What’s going on? What on earth has happened?” asked Louis.
The Master of the Night, Louis, crawled out from the palace where he had been deep in sleep and saw his divine kingdom crumbling and falling apart. Evil shadows of the abyss were searching for the origin and rushing toward him to erode his body. Louis’ body was slowly being devoured by the power of the abyss.
“No! No! What is this? Abyss? How could my believers become creatures of the abyss?” screamed Louis.
Evil shadows of the abyss merged together like a river and poured into Louis’ body. The entire divine kingdom collapsed and fragmented. The sleeping and praying believers fell and vanished together with the kingdom.
“Impossible! Who? Who on earth?” Louis roared.
The enormous divine body of the Master of the Night struggled out of the Star Kingdom. From the ground, one could see that a divine shadow thousands of miles long had escaped from the star and was looking down to the earth.
Louis immediately saw the giant entrance to the abyss on the ground, the Hollyma Kingdom haunted by darkness, and Adonis, who had become a part of the entrance to the abyss, staring at Louis with eyes full of greed.
“You! Who are you? Do you know what you are doing? Are you challenging a true god?” Louis demanded.
Louis realized he was being completely assimilated into the abyss. The power of abyss has reached his core, and his divine personality, divine duty, and divine power, which were all part of his core, were rejecting him and slowly breaking away from his divine body.
“My divine personality? My divine power? By the name of a true god, activate the world rules! By the name of the master of the night, summon…” roared Louis.
He realized that his howling could not activate any of the world rules. It seemed he had been transformed into a creature of the abyss and was being rejected by the world.
What was more terrible was that the entrance to the abyss below was sending out a strong eroding power towards him. At the same time, Louis’ body felt attracted to it, as if he yearned to entre the abyss and become a part of it.
“No, no! What have you done? What have you done? You filthy, puny insect!” Louis shouted.
Adonis raised his head and looked at the shadow of the true god with disgust, as if the divine noble being was insignificant in his presence. The true god was struggling with fear, rage and panic, almost like a clown to Adonis.
Adonis said, “Puny? Who are you to say such a thing? Who are you? Someone who could only rise when wizards were declining. With no perseverance in the pursuit of truth, no courage to challenge the world, and no extraordinary intelligence, how dare you call yourself a wizard? How sad. After the first- and second-generation wizards all died, the world turned out to be such a tedious place. How could a cowardly, scheming rat become a god? When the wizard system of the undead was created by me?”
“When I rule the kingdom of the dead, the world shall quiver beneath my feet. Then, you will only look at my name with reverence, and tremble and scream at my power.”
Louis stared at Adonis in shock. Louis recalled Adonis’ name from the old legends and writings.
“Adonis? Adonis? You? How did you escape? How could you escape from hell? Weren’t you trapped at the bottom of hell?” Louis asked.
Louis struggled to escape from the attraction of the abyss. He was still slowly dragged out of the Star Kingdom until he fell through the entrance to the abyss. Louis screamed with fear and tried to activate the power of a true god, but he sensed that his connection to the world had weakened.
Devilish flames roared across Adonis’ body. He laughed loudly and said, “I did not escape from hell. The Adonis trapped in hell has died, and the Adonis in the mortal world has been resurrected!”
Adonis looked up at the Master of the Night and said, “So, bad day for you. I, Adonis, present a sacrifice to the consciousness of abyss, the true god Louis Biketo, Master of the Night!”
The sound of Adonis’ laughter echoed in the sky of Biketo city. As Adonis said these words, dark shadowy tentacles reached out of the entrance of the abyss and grabbed Louis Biketo.

In the meantime, stars glimmered in the sky. Ten Star Kingdoms moved closer to the sky over the Hollyma Kingdom from the bitwall.
The other gods seemed to see what had happened. Every god except for the goddesses of Light, Sun, and Death were present, an assembled meeting of gods in the sky above Hollyma. They looked down at the Master of the Night, who was being dragged into the abyss, and Adonis, whose body had half become one with the entrance of abyss and could enter the abyss at any time.
“There is no hope for the Master of the Night! He has been taken by the abyss. Even the world has rejected and given up on him!” said the Goddess of Steam and Machinery, with the tone of sadness.
It chilled all the true gods that a fellow true god had fallen. Even the gods could die. If that was true, then, in this world, what was eternity?
“Blasphemers shall not be forgiven!” The Ruler of Storms was furious. However, he was still constrained by the world rules because he had broken the Agreement of the Gods.
“That’s right, blasphemers shall not be forgiven!”
At this moment, a god in the sky started the attack. It was Felix, the God of Earth and War.
A giant divine palm fell from the sky and smashed Biketo City. Just one palm could cover the entirety of Biketo City. Felix was going to crush the entrance to the abyss and strangle Adonis. The power of an awakened true god was apocalyptic.
Adonis finally noticed the stars in the sky. However, he was not fearful or nervous. He laughed and said, “Hah hah hah, everyone’s here! What a party!”
At this moment, a giant book opened in the sky and stopped the palm of the God of Earth and War.
“Edward? What are you doing?” asked Felix.
“Let him go! The Master of the Night has fallen. It’s better to let them both leave this world!” said Edward.
“It’s better to kill them both!”
“I will not allow that!”
“You think I don’t know? Adonis and you were both the students of Bohr, the second owner of the tower. You grew up with him!” said Felix.
The God of Earth and War, Felix, and the God of Truth and Knowledge, Edward Kelermo, were arguing intensely. Edward Kelermo insisted that the blasphemer, Adonis, should be let go and allowed to leave this world.
Lights beamed down from the two arguing gods in the sky, shining on the entire Hollyma Kingdom. Night turned into a bright day.
Most of the gods were still waiting and observing since the Master of the Night did not have many allies. At the same time, Adonis, the problem, was about to leave the world, along with the Master of the Night, creating an even bigger problem.
All were concerned about Adonis’ apocalyptical power over the undead. They all wished Adonis would just leave this world, since a mythical being, especially someone like the King of the Dead, could hardly be made to leave by force.
“Leave the divine personality!”
“Right, leave the divine personality of the Master of the Night!”
The Goddess of the Sea, Gina, who had been waiting, now made a move. The other gods suddenly understood the situation but were prevented to act by the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. As this was happening, the Master of the Night was dragged into the entrance to the abyss, became part of the consciousness of abyss, and turned into Adonis’ sacrifice.
As the entrance to the abyss was destroyed by the Goddess of Seas, the remaining power from the entrance to the abyss faded away because of the world’s rejection. As for the divine personality of the Master of the Night, it was lost.
—
Adonis stood before the consciousness of the abyss, the divine personality of the Master of the Night in his hand. He had presented the sacrifice, a true god, and he would be rewarded by the abyss.
As for the divine personality of the Master of the Night, it turned into a normal stone after leaving Maria’s World. The world would regenerate. Therefore, it was of no use to Adonis, and it would expire.
Just as they had agreed, when Alice called his true name, Adonis would give the name to her.
“I shall be the next King of the Undead! And I shall leave Maria’s World, a prison, a trap, and a game!” Adonis said.
The power of the abyss was an enormous, spinning black hole. Adonis was thrilled.
“At last, I am free! Here! Ah! I can smell the fragrance of freedom! I have finally escaped from this horrifying world and the shadow behind it!”
At that moment, a giant black sphere spinning inside the consciousness of the abyss formed. Silvery light emerged from its center and expanded continuously. A figure appeared.
The figure was wearing a mask with white sigils of the sun on it. The figure carried the power of the entire abyss. The consciousness of the abyss began to put pressure on Adonis. The flames of him giant devilish skeleton dimmed.
Adonis did not even notice that he had dropped the divine personality of the Master of the Night. He stared at the figure in front of him. The figure had emerged out of thin air and made Adonis tremble with fear. It now stood right before his very eyes.
“Oh? Where… do you think you’re going?”
The figure with the mask sized Adonis up. Coldness spread across Adonis’ body from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Never in his life had he felt such despair.
“Boom!”
Giant arms extended from the palace with painful, desperate, and bewildered howling.
“What’s going on? What on earth has happened?” asked Louis.
