Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Time became nebulous, as if an eon had passed. In one moment, the oppressive force finally receded like the tide. The voice of God rang out once more, only this time Messe no longer felt its warmth.

"If this is what you desire... then go back to your people. Share in their suffering, and do not return."

"You will forsake the future, eternal life, and all that you possess, enduring with your kin the calamities your own deities have brought upon you. Those who do not believe in me will die, and even the devout shall suffer misfortune.

"Of those in their prime, a third shall perish; of women and children, a half; of the old and infirm, two thirds... This world is not yours, so go to the place that is yours, leave this place, head to the ends of the sea... Even so, do you still stand by your opinion?"

"I stand by it, but God, what about them?" Messe asked, "Those beings who bring disasters upon us. Can they reside in splendid palaces, enjoying beauty and joy?"

"Certainly not."

"Those on Earth will receive Earth's punishment; those in the heavens, heaven's penalty. Whatever they have inflicted upon you, it shall be visited upon their gods; this is my promise to you, to you alone."

The voice of God remained serene, yet at this moment Messe felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. He did not know if he would regret his decision in the future, but he had indeed made it now.

"I am grateful for Your mercy, Almighty Creator."

He chanted softly, and then looked up again. This time, Messe saw the presence of God.

"I offer up all that I have to You, Almighty Lord, even though all comes from You."

Standing outside of time, watching it all, God seemed to smile.

"Very well, I accept it."

"Since all is settled... henceforth, Messe.

"I make a covenant with you."

Few knew what the existence of Messe truly meant. Even Isis, who had watched over him for so many years, only knew broadly.

In Hemenu, he was just Messe; but to Chaos, he was Pallas. And Pallas's fate had died, he should not have lived, for the Divine King had sacrificed the former Goddess of Wisdom to the world... If he were to continue living, his very existence would be a negation to the world.

Thus, his existence had greatly intensified the collisions between the two worlds over the last millennium.

Wounding the enemy a thousandfold and harming oneself eight-hundredfold, both worlds suffered even greater carnage in an attempt to erase this life that should not have been... but in reality, this was also because Messe's soul was not whole. Since his ten reincarnations had not come to an end, he was not yet the true rebirth of Pallas.

But at this moment, when he offered all of himself to God by his own will, God made him whole. And this act, going completely against the will of Chaos, caused a massive disturbance in both worlds instantly.

In The Sky, within the Sun.

Ra grasped the Scepter, preparing to unleash the full power of the Sun, to cleanse the world with flames, incinerating all mortals with blood from the Alien Realm.

He could do it and had the right to. Having merged with the strength of Amon, even Apep, the serpent that symbolizes Chaos, was no longer his match on the far side of the world. He could more easily disperse it, allowing it to slowly rebirth within Chaos.

However, just as he was about to act, a shockwave imperceptible to mortals suddenly arrived, causing Ra to almost lose his balance and fall from the throne.

"What has happened... Has that Otherworld gone mad?"

First befuddled, then his complexion drastically changed, Ra realized that the encroachment of the Alien Realm's power into Hemenu had suddenly skyrocketed by a factor of millions.
