Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 975 - 455: The True Interpretation of the Prophecy (Additional - for ’Update But Not Kill’ Alliance Leader)
[You looked at the stele, its surface still a blur, only "Rona," who had succeeded in deciphering it, could see its contents...]
[You were so anxious that you scratched your ears and cheeks, wishing you could transplant your own eyes into Rona’s body right away.]
[Finally, "Rona" finished reading the text, but fell into a long stupor...]
[Deep despair etched upon her beautiful face, this Great Sage who was but a step away from the Gods, now seemed to have lost all faith, suddenly kneeling on the ground, murmuring...]
[There’s no hope, there’s no hope...]
[It turned out that you and she had both misunderstood completely; all this was the Abyss’s shocking conspiracy!]
[The despair "Rona" manifested penetrated to the bone, leaving you, who knew not the truth, feeling strangely mystified, with hairs on end and a chilling spine.]
[Rona gave a tragic smile, you rarely saw this calm and learned female Scholar display a smile, yet seeing such a smile now, you could not feel happy at all.]
[She looked up at the stele, calmly reciting the words on it, one by one...]
[...]
[The offspring of the Abyss shall master the Authority of Abyss and Stars in the darkness, kill the Almighty True Knowledge, and become the new "Abyss"!] 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
[When Almighty True Knowledge sleeps, it will fall under the reign of Chaos, its Servants of God unable to awaken their former master. And should they awaken him, it will be, not the Supreme God, but a terrifying Evil God set to destroy the world.]
[The only hope for the Servants of God is to use the Authority left behind by the True Knowledge Evil God time and again to suppress the remaining Star Gods and prevent the Stars from returning to their places, lest the Abyss rejuvenates.]
[But the Star Gods possess not only the Authority of "Fragmentation" from the Stars; the Abyss has also implanted its own Authority of "Synthesis" into the Star Gods.]
[As a Servant of God, a fragment of the Almighty True Knowledge, every time it suppresses a Star God and uses the Authority of the True Knowledge Evil God, the power of resolution brings upon it the "Fragmentation" of the Stars, separating it from its master.]
[Moreover, each time it suppresses a Star Deity, that same resolving power subjects it to the "Synthesis" of the Abyss, transforming it into a being akin to the Abyss, just like the ancient Stars.]
[When hardly any Star Gods remain and the degree of Synthesis surges to a critical point, the Servants of God will become the offspring of the Abyss...]
[At that time, there will be no Knowledge god servants in the world, only the fanatically devout offspring of the Abyss.]
[Synthesis and Fragmentation are silent, imperceptible processes. By the time the Knowledge god servant foresees the future and realizes this transformation, it will no longer be the Knowledge god servant, but the offspring of the Abyss.]
[The offspring of the Abyss will wield the Authority of Abyss and Stars and grant to Almighty True Knowledge... the most fatal blow!]
[Of course, the Abyss will not forget that most terrifying existence—Chaos!]
[Eventually, the once Abyss and Stars, even the Omniscience will cease to be, for Synthesis is bidirectional; as it assimilates the Knowledge god servant, the Abyss and Stars will also be assimilated by the disorder within the Omniscient Authority.]
[The bodies of the three Main Gods will serve as vessels absorbing Chaos until destruction...]
[And they will be reborn as new entities in bodies fully assimilated as offspring of the Abyss, bodies that have purged all Chaos, a trinity like never before.]
[To leave no trace of Chaos, the new Main Gods—one with the Abyss as the central figure, a new, unprecedented trinity of Main Gods—will cleanse and even obliterate the entire world.]
[A new species will replace the old, a new order will take over the old order, a New World will be established on the ruins of the Old World!]
[...]
[Rona lifted her head to look at you, her voice desperate, "You are not ’the offspring of the Abyss’; the Knowledge god servant is the offspring of the Abyss..."]
[The seal on the stele wasn’t set by the Abyss, for the Star Gods yet to be suppressed are few, and its conspiracy is in its final phase; it truly has no need to conceal this conspiracy anymore...]
[No, this isn’t even a conspiracy—it’s an inescapable, overt scheme. Even if the Knowledge god servant foresaw the plans of the Abyss, it could not change the outcome.]
[The Servants of God face three choices, yet all three lead to a checkmate!]
[It cannot awaken Almighty True Knowledge, now controlled by Chaos, and even if a way to awaken it existed, the fact that Omniscience has become an ’Evil God’ would only destroy the world prematurely.]
[If the Servant of God does nothing and fails to suppress the surviving Star Gods, the intact Abyss and Stars will return, and it will have to face two Main Gods in their prime. The outcome of the third divine war will surely be a disastrous defeat.]
[And if it suppresses the remaining Star Gods, the Servant of God will be assimilated by the ’Authority of the Abyss’ within the Star Gods... ultimately, the Knowledge god servant will be assimilated as the offspring of the Abyss and even become the new Abyss, a threefold Abyss.]
[It is a checkmate with no solution!]
[You and she, "Rona," were thoroughly mistaken; the familiar essence felt from the seal on the stele was because the one who set it wasn’t the Abyss, but the Knowledge god servant!]
[The Servant of God had once bestowed upon her a sliver of the Omniscient Authority, which is why her talent was so extraordinary. Now, encountering a seal set by the Omniscient Authority of the god servant, her own analysis comes as naturally as instinct.]
[The reason why the Servant of God concealed this secret is because it chose the last outcome...]
[Having suppressed too many Star Gods, it can no longer turn back. It is highly likely that it has already become the offspring of the Abyss, willing to become a part of the Abyss.]
