In a cataclysmic moment, Eric Thaloria's *Astral Annihilation*, amplified by the ancient relic *Soul Chaser*, strikes its final blow.
The immense energy of the spell, empowered to the level of tier 13, utterly disintegrates Alistair Illyria's body in a flash of blinding light.
His once-mighty form, now reduced to nothingness, leaves no trace behind in the physical world.
But the spell's true power lies beyond mere physical destruction. With the *Soul Chaser*'s unique ability to directly target souls, the spell transcends the mortal plane and reaches beyond the boundaries of the *Grand Magus World*, seeking the very essence of *Cosmic Chimera*, the ancient and malevolent constellation controlling Alistair from afar.
Even as it resides outside the world, in the boundless expanse of the cosmos, *Cosmic Chimera* cannot escape the devastating force that tears through the astral plane, annihilating its soul.
As the final connection between *Cosmic Chimera* and the *Grand Magus World* is severed, a deafening shriek erupts across the heavens—a piercing, otherworldly wail that echoes across the entire world.
Every living being, from the mightiest of magicians to the humblest of peasants, hears the death cry of the constellation, a sound so primal and filled with anguish that it sends chills down the spine of all who witness it.
The sky itself seems to tremble as the once-mighty cosmic being is torn apart, its final moments filled with torment.
With the destruction of *Cosmic Chimera*, the very atmosphere of the world shifts.
The once-clear skies grow dark as red clouds gather, swirling ominously.
A torrential downpour begins, but this is no ordinary rain—it is *blood*, thick and crimson, cascading from the heavens in a deluge that sweeps over the entire *Grand Magus World*.
This blood rain marks the fall of the first constellation, a celestial event of unprecedented magnitude.
The rain, warm and heavy, soaks the land, staining everything it touches with the tragic remains of a fallen cosmic entity.
For the people of the *Grand Magus World*, this blood rain is a dire omen.
The sight of red raindrops falling from the heavens is unlike anything they have ever witnessed.
It signifies the end of an era, the death of a once-immortal power, and the unthinkable: the fall of a constellation.
The very balance of the cosmos seems shaken, as the *Cosmic Chimera*—a symbol of untouchable power—has been obliterated.
For days, the blood rain continues to fall, turning rivers red, soaking the earth, and leaving behind a heavy silence in the wake of the cosmic wailing.
The world is haunted by the memory of the shriek, as its echo lingers, a constant reminder of the battle between godlike forces and the terrible price that was paid.
The fall of *Cosmic Chimera* becomes a tale passed down in every corner of the world, forever marking the event as a turning point in the history of the *Grand Magus World*.
Third POV
Just after the final blow disintegrated Alistair Illyria and annihilated the *Cosmic Chimera*, Eric Thaloria's mind buzzed with a familiar sound. A system notification flashed before his eyes:
[Task Completed: Eliminate Cosmic Chimera]
Reward: True God Potion (Tier 13 Advancement)
A wave of satisfaction washed over him as the notification faded. The *True God Potion* materialized in his hand—a crystal vial filled with a shimmering liquid, swirling with immense power.
This potion was legendary, capable of elevating his strength from a Tier 12 High God to a Tier 13 True God, a realm only spoken of in myths.
The opportunity to ascend beyond the limits of mortality was finally within his grasp.
As Eric contemplated where to safely make his breakthrough, the scene around him began to shift.
The ruined battlefield and the debris of the castle faded into a blur. In the blink of an eye, he found himself standing in a vast, tranquil forest.
The air here was thick with mana, more potent than anything he'd ever felt. The trees around him pulsed with life, their leaves glowing faintly, and the ground beneath him thrummed with magical energy.
It was a sanctuary, a place brimming with untapped potential, far removed from the dangers and distractions of the outside world.
Before Eric could wonder how he'd arrived, another message appeared in his mind—this one not from the system, but from the *Prophet*, the mysterious figure who had guided him throughout many of his past missions.
"You are safe here, Eric. This forest is a sacred place, abundant with mana, where you can make your breakthrough without any interference. I've ensured that no external forces will disturb you. It is time to ascend."
A sense of relief washed over him. The *Prophet* had never steered him wrong before, and this secluded forest felt like the perfect environment for his breakthrough. The weight of his previous battles and the lingering corruption from the *Cosmic Chimera* seemed to melt away in the presence of such natural magic.
Eric nodded silently, thanking the *Prophet* for the guidance.
The opportunity for uninterrupted cultivation in such a powerful place was invaluable.
Eric sat down cross-legged on the soft, mana-rich ground, holding the *True God Potion* in his hand.
He could feel the potion's immense power calling to him, the promise of Tier 13 True Godhood tantalizingly close.
Taking a deep breath, he uncorked the vial and drank the shimmering liquid in one smooth motion.
The potion's effects were immediate. A surge of raw, divine energy coursed through his veins, filling every corner of his being with unimaginable power.
His body, mind, and soul began to transform, evolving to withstand the sheer might of the Tier 13 realm.
He felt his core expand, his connection to mana deepening as the lines between mortal and divine blurred.
The mana in the forest seemed to respond, swirling around him in a vortex, feeding his growing strength.
Eric closed his eyes, focusing on guiding the power through his body, pushing him toward his ascension. This was the final step—one that would elevate him to a true god.
