Chapter 19: Trap
Chapter 19: Trap
The moon lit up the entire sky as its crimson hue deepened, finally turning blood-red.
The world was awakened by the blood moon, which caused many to glance up at this strange phenomenon that was visible all over the globe.
A red sea flowed on the moon as it revolved around the earth. It was drowning everything, as though it was digesting this natural satellite.
The crimson sea that flowed in the moon stopped as various eyes appeared on its surface when Aucuses and others encountered 'it' in the projection of past created by authority of "knowledge" of sefirot.
'Its' gaze landed on the moses ascetic order more accurately, directly at the main room, as countless eyes glanced at the blue planet behind the barrier.
If one can look at the indescribable being without losing their minds, they will witness a reflection of Aucuses, Lilith, and Artisan encircled by a blood ocean in 'its' countless eyes.
On earth, as the massive giant's dusk receded to his own kingdom, the Evernight Goddess and God of Combat had long since ended their conflict.
Amanises, the Evernight Goddess, stood in the sky, lighted by crimson moonlight, silently staring at this.
Her dark gown fluttered as she turned to face the massive crimson moon that was obscuring her view.
She sensed the crimson moon's power seeping into reality, bypassing the barrier though an unknown anchor, a powerful authority beyond human comprehension, and exerting towards a location in the northern continent.
Amanises also sensed the vibrancy of life all throughout the earth, which seemed to be celebrating their mother's return.
The very earth trembled as endless filth and corruption in abyss moved in chaos, as though terrified by the moon's power. She can even hear Farubati's painful roar reverberating throughout the abyss and the oceans.
The clouds in the sky vanished as the entire sky turned crimson, the crimson moonlight falling on earth like a veil from the moon.
The degenerative darkness in the forbidden land of gods receded as the crimson moon lightened it up completely, she can see the crimson moonlight illuminating everything, for even the grey fog barrier was clearly visible to her.
Now, Amanises, holding the scythe, stood in the crimson sky, her figure highlighted by the crimson light.
Her tranquil eyes gazed at the blood moon, as a prophecy she read before her transmigration flashed across her mind.
"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the creator."
"Lilith..." whispered Amanises as she stared down the Moses Ascetic Order's location. Her serene gaze eventually expressed some worry.
After only a brief glance, she promptly turned back to face the red moon.
Amanines countenance became solemn behind the veil that draped over her face, as she could see numerous eyes on the moon peering through the barrier at the earth.
She didn't hesitate any longer and proclaimed solemnly in front of the entire world.
"Night."
The crimson moonlight that had illuminated the entire planet had dimmed noticeably, with darkness spreading over the sky throughout the world in an attempt to prevent the blood moon's power from affecting the earth.
An imaginary white tower and clouds filled with blue lightning arose in the sky shortly after, joining darkness in blocking off the blood moon's power.
The crimson moonlight also shone through the sea of ruins, lighting up the bone cathedral.
The creator's son gazed up to see the blood moon through the cathedral's large window.
As he gazed at the crimson sea in the moon, Adam's clear and limpid eyes finally changed.
"I really wasn't anticipating this..." Adam's calm voice echoed in the church, as even he didn't think something like this could happen.

Aucuses' emotions was incomprehensible at the moment, as he couldn't decide whether he felt regret for coming here or terror at the prospect of encountering once-pillar.
Even though he knew he would have to confront them one day, he didn't think it would be anytime soon.
How does it feel to be starred by a once - pillar?
He can see 'Her' authority subconsciously influencing everything around him, so it wasn't obviously good.
Space, reality, knowledge, time and many other concepts have been corrupted by 'Her,' and have entirely fallen under 'Her' control and whim.
Everything changed visibly as crimson eyes and tentacles appeared in the very space, and reality shifted to reveal a red world with flesh mountains and humanoids with no skin laying upon it, as well as a river of blood, where various twisted foetus and other abominations that seemed to be straight out of hell were floating upon.
They would have immediately corrupted under 'Her' presence if it hadn't been for their level of life, reaching the level of god and king of angels, for everything about them, whether fate, memories, life, and soul, would have been assimilated with 'Her' and become part of 'Her', while they would have ceased to exist, if not for that.
Aucuses also sensed the authority of a pillar that influenced reality; he couldn't quite define it at first, because it was enormous and unlike anything he'd ever experienced.
'She' appeared to be an aggregate of all the cosmos' negative powers, evil/yin. He was also struck by 'Her' boundless vitality, to the point where 'She' appeared to be the originator of life in the universe, or, to put it another way, the mother of all life in cosmos.
He felt pressure on his soul and body under her gaze, even as a True God, as a nigh-infinite spiritual force crushed against their figure.
Aucuses' figure trembled slightly as sweat beads formed on his forehead, but soon a sun symbol appeared on his forehead, brightening the surroundings and protecting him and others from 'Her' great spiritual strength.
Aucuses saw that the 'Her' eyes were entirely fixed on Lilith, who dropped to the ground with crimson blood pouring from her mouth, nose and eyes
'No..' Aucuses immediately realised what 'Her' actual objective was: to corrupt Lilith, a god from the mother pathway which originated from 'Her'.
'She knew this all along; it's fucking trap!'
He couldn't allow something like that to happen. Because everything will be destroyed at that moment.
Even though it seemed like an eternity, it has only been seconds since 'she' emerged.
But, before he could do anything, he felt 'Her' attention turn totally to him.
A distorted voice resonated, capable of driving even archangels insane.
It was in a language, which was unknown to anyone on the earth. However, he still clearly understood it.
"You are different..."
'She' spoke while looking at him, as the entire actual red world twisted and blurred, as if unable to endure 'Her' voice,
