Apocalypse Forecast

Chapter 1172: Chapter 896: Embracing Rebirth

"Isn’t this... a bit exaggerated?"

Huai Shi stood beneath the tall tower, looking up and gazing at the chaotic sight. Instinctively, his eyes widened, and then he felt a burning pain on his eyeballs.

Resonating within his soul—

The massive and complex miracle transformations filled Huai Shi’s senses, like countless incomprehensible, yet bizarre and unignorable data continuously drilling into his brain.

It was about to burn his CPU.

Before being consumed by the leaked heat, his soul had already been traumatized by everything in sight.

The Casting Furnace was ringing, countless small components and parts trembling.

Under this high-level miracle transformation, everything seemed like dust.

Even though the opponent remained motionless and never noticed his existence, Huai Shi still felt a terrifying anxiety as if he were about to be crushed by the aftermath.

The symbol of the God’s seat was falling.

Pulled by the Great Grandmaster’s power, it plummeted towards the mortal realm!

This marked the end of all struggles, the final stage of the Ritual of God Making.

The consequence of fate.

He was too late.

In that instant, Huai Shi suddenly realized: it wasn’t like this; it wasn’t that he was too late. Instead, it should be said he was just in time!

Everything was a part of fate.

The existence of reshaping the God Spirit required not only power but also numerous prerequisites and stringent demands, much like a cultivator in a novel transcending calamities to ascend.

Time, place, and people were indispensable.

Publius had waited for such a long time and finally grasped the timing, while the location was guaranteed by Helios, but the final representation of ’people’s will,’ ’fate,’ wasn’t about rallying people and meticulous coordination...

Instead, it was to provoke conflict!

Whether Helios’s natives or the Alchemists who landed on Helios, everyone propelled by their needs, desires, or fate setting foot on this land was a part of the ritual.

Starting with conflict, ending with conflict.

Simply put, it’s the process of negating and obliterating all unrelated ’external influences’ and ’variables.’

Even Tong Ji’s altered ’Divine Confrontation’ was just a part of the ritual’s transformation, granting Huai Shi crucial development time.

But the ritual itself never changed.

When the conflict reaches its end, the ritual’s result will be revealed.

From the moment Garland failed, there was no one left on Helios to hinder Publius.

Not even Huai Shi.

No matter who wins the battle between him and Hercules, ultimately it will help Publius complete the final step of the ritual.

At the moment when all transformations conclude, Publius’s fate finally fully clears away all the dust.

Transforming into a flawless and transparent vessel.

Accommodating this... immortal cornerstone!

Now, right before Huai Shi’s eyes, the tall tower cast by shadows roared and cracked open, like the lips of a beast opening wide. In a blood-red pull, it completely swallowed the sun wheel into its belly!

Then, all darkness and light annihilated each other.

A brilliant outline slowly emerged from it.

Like the ’David’ personally sculpted by the former Great Grandmaster Michelangelo.

The perfect human posture emerged from the collapsing ruins. That pose contained the beauty of divine nature, undoubtedly the revelation of the God Spirit’s image.

When Publius once again looked forward, his indifferent gaze enveloped Huai Shi, who was struggling to hold on ahead.

No need for actions, no need for words, not even thoughts.

In the instant covered by the gaze that looked down from high above, the invisible pressure already descended on Huai Shi’s body and soul.

Regardless of the vastness or insignificance of power, the lack or fullness of divine nature, this is purely a difference in quality—Stigma, the product created imitating divine authority, cannot compare to a true God Spirit.

Like a double-slit experiment in a laboratory, under the gaze of the ’Strong Observer,’ the ’probability cloud’ began to collapse. Huai Shi’s soul trembled violently, only feeling the invisible gaze almost tearing him apart like a torrent.

Consciousness was evaporating!

"In the way—"

When Publius frowned, invisible repulsion suddenly erupted!

The disdain and resistance from a God Spirit caused Huai Shi to be directly thrown and roll on the ground embarrassingly, pressed by invisible pressure, crashing through several walls, and falling to the ground, unable to rise.

Yet Publius’s gaze did not linger on him even for a second.

Instead, Huai Shi was the one obstructing his view.

When he raised his head, looking towards where Huai Shi originally was, his vision pierced through the long distance and countless trivial dust.

Across billions of miles.

To look towards the ’Current Circumstances’!

Then, at that moment, in His eyes, an excited glow lit up.

Finally feeling that indescribable attraction!

"It is... calling me..."

That world is calling him.

—Calling for the return of the god!

This is the testament of being a ’god’, the symbol of Publius’ great achievement!

At this moment, accompanied by Publius’ laughter, Helios erupted in a tremendous shock, the shattered sun chariot forcefully awakened, draped in a dazzling corona light.

Finally, breaking free from Jupiter’s enormous gravity, it began its next journey.

Toward the homeland!

"Is it finally beginning?"

He Di lifted his head, gazing at the flashing stars, already foreseeing the upcoming event—[Return of the Sun].

Publius, in response to the call of destiny, began to return to his original place.

Return to the current circumstances!

Source substance, god core, and transformation, these are the three axes of the current circumstances.

Just as the myriad things and images spawned from the Pillar of Transformation, and the Sea of ​​Silver born from the Pillar of Source, gods are the crystallization derived from the Central Pillar of God Marrow!

They are achieved by destiny and simultaneously bound by destiny. From the moment of their birth, they are tightly connected together.

It can be said that they themselves are the ’extension’ of the Central Pillar of God Marrow, a part of the current circumstances!

No matter how the world changes, no matter what form the gods may take, this mutual gravitational force will never change!

And this force originating from the same source will never be rejected by the current circumstances.

It’s like being appointed and then proceeding to the appointment.

Publius will embark on a journey under the call, following the resonance of this gravitational force, heading towards the current circumstances.

Returning to the world awaiting his jurisdiction.

By then, he will gradually receive his rightful destiny and authority, no longer only a noble shell but a genuine god of the mortal world!

This journey will encounter no obstacles, not even the [Three Great Locks] will be effective!

Because the Sun God himself is already a part of the current circumstances, and now it is merely a return to the current circumstances itself by following the call!

However... for the people of the current circumstances, this may not be a gospel of salvation.

Currently, Helios, as the sun chariot, driven by the Sun God, is akin to a whole new ’god-created sun’—let alone the influence of the god itself and the terrifying high temperature surrounding its corona.

Just the pure mass alone, once plunged into the current circumstances, will cause irreversible damage to the atmosphere, followed by shock waves triggering an upheaval in the earth’s crust comparable to a level twelve earthquake!

Not to mention, the Sun God himself poses a huge threat to the Three Great Locks.

At this moment, for the current circumstances, Helios becomes a ’significant external threat capable of causing severe damage to the existing ecosystem—a weapon of terror attack.’

After meeting this standard, very soon, the existence of Helios will fulfill the prophecy from the Silent Ones Stone Stele, officially endowed with another layer of symbolism...

—[Destruction Element·Apophis]!

.

Currently on the moon.

The ring of the heavy mass cannon flashes with dazzling electrical light; within the lunar crust, dozens of nuclear power plants hidden beneath the surface begin to operate at overload capacity, continuously providing sufficient energy for the cannon to charge...

Every minute and every second, power capable of vaporizing an entire city from the surface is gathering here, waiting. Under that enormous magnetic field’s cover, an alloy ingot of mountain mass also floats in the vacuum of space, vibrating intensely, awaiting the firing command.

"Probe mirror data collection complete—"

In the deepest command room beneath the crust, the observer turns back, reporting loudly: "Unknown signal appeared on Helios, confirmed as βII type and Δ type composite features, presumed as alchemy transformation of the god by the alchemist!"

In the command room above, a silent middle-aged man speaks: "What’s the progress?"

"It’s almost complete."

The observer reports: "Helios’ coordinates have begun to move!"

A brief silence descends; the elderly lady on the right, the representative from Stone Pot Society, is momentarily stunned, and then she can’t help but overstep her bounds asking: "Grandmaster, what about Grandmaster Garland’s signal?"

"Since its last appearance two minutes ago, it fell silent and lost response."

"..."

She stands dazed, speechless for a long time.

At the end of the long table, the moon division head from the Jurisdiction Bureau stares at the data before him, gently tapping the table, suddenly asking: "What’s the progress of the heavy mass cannon preparation?"

"Completed, ready to fire at any time."

"Maintain preheat, standby for command."

The division head nods, looks to the other end of the long table, at the projection on the empty seat, awaiting orders: "Shall we issue the firing command, Secretary General Yegor?"

In the projection, the silent middle-aged man says nothing.

He merely silently stares at the screen before him, scrutinizing the solar wheel slowly nearing the current circumstances.

Finally, he looks at the list on the table.

Counting through every member aboard Helios from top to bottom, he stops briefly at a certain name.

"Wait."

Yegor calmly says: "Wait a bit longer."
