Together with the deity, the little rabbit traveled through countless worlds.
It saw trees that were taller than entire planets.
It witnessed creatures thriving in the harshest of environments.
What it felt, having a friend by its side, was no longer the loneliness of a desolate universe.
Instead, it was freedom.
An adventure that paid no heed to an endpoint.
Time passed unknowingly as it roamed across this vast universe.
The rabbit heard countless stories of the worlds the deity had visited.
And heard countless endings of those worlds.
With a deity, it's hard to determine their exact lifespan.
It's not measured in months, years, decades, centuries, or millennia.
All are too small.
The age of deities is counted by the number of times the universe is reset.
From the formation of the universe until its end.
It is known as the Cycle.
The deity the rabbit followed had gone through three Cycles.
Its age was not old compared to other deities. In a way, it was still young among them.
That deity taught the rabbit about other deities.
Each deity has a name.The name is one for people across countless worlds to believe in and worship.
After each Cycle, the deities are also reborn.
What they retain is their name.
The power of each deity is judged by their Divine Power.
And Divine Power is created by the worship of sentient beings.
The deity that Rabbit followed was called...
[@% t##@@!!@#@? @@$!!!!!!]
The Demon Emperor was enraged, roaring as he searched through the White Night to find the rabbit's shadow.
"You bitch! Do you think you've won already!?"
Wherever he went, it seemed as though destruction followed.
But in just a moment, the domain was restored again.
All of Demon Emperor George's struggles were in vain.
"I'm not your messenger!!!"
He understood what Rabbit was doing.
Every Demon King, Demon Emperor, is the hope of achieving the Heavenly Path of the Demons.
Each one that reaches that rank forms a connection with the world behind them.
When a Demon King or Demon Emperor dies, the last moments of their battle are transmitted to all beings of the Demons and Yaoguais.
It's the "Final Message" of the Demon King, Demon Emperor to their followers.
Because of this, all Demon Kings and Demon Emperors strive to maintain utmost dignity in their death. It's considered their final honor.What Rabbit was doing was humiliating him, humiliating both the Demons and Yaoguais.
Rabbit was using the "Final Message" to spread the faith for her god.
To make the Demons and Yaoguais aware of Rabbit's God.
It was a direct declaration that Rabbit intended to destroy him.
His incessant wrath reached the heavens.
Yet Rabbit's deep, calm voice rang out continuously.
She paid no mind to his curses.
The more silent she was, the angrier Demon Emperor George became.
But deep inside, he grew increasingly terrified.
Terrified by the despair being nurtured by the seed Rabbit had sown.
If he lost to her, it would not just mean death, but the dishonor of his name.
"No! I will not allow it!!!"
His furious roar echoed endlessly throughout the White Night.
A beast destroying everything in its path, only for the world to be restored once more.
.
.
.
That name, perhaps even now when spoken, remained unrecognizable to anyone.
It had been erased from this world, from this "cycle."
[@% t##@@!!@#@?]
At that moment in the endless universe, Rabbit and that God were still journeying across the galaxy.
Then a white light flashed.
The rabbit's once-red eyes turned completely white from that bizarre divine light.
By the time Rabbit realized what had just happened, that God, Rabbit's friend, had been pierced by the beam of light.
From the point of that light, his body began to slowly disintegrate.
"A...?"
He had not yet comprehended what was happening.
His body started to gradually vanish.
Everything unfolded right in front of the rabbit.
It couldn't believe its eyes.
A sound emitted from such a small creature compared to the gods, yet at that moment, it resonated throughout the entire universe.
So countless worlds could hear it.
The shock from that scream even destroyed numerous worlds.
It was utterly terrified by the scene unfolding.
Its friend was dying.
It frantically ran towards that God.
Using its tiny feet, it pressed against his body in a panic.
It didn't know what to do.
It only knew it wanted him to live.
"Too noisy."
Listening to that panicked sound, another God slowly approached them.The rabbit realized it was a god, by the divinity from him.
But the form of that God was incredibly bizarre, unlike the beauty of the God the rabbit followed.
Panicked, it ran to that God, babbling a few words like a newborn child, with a deeply sobbing sound.
"You...! Save...! Save...! Save Him...!"
The other God looked at the disintegrating body of his fellow kind. He merely smiled.
"Why would I save what I just destroyed?"
The rabbit's eyes widened.
Its pupils contracted.
It was terrified.
That God.
Had just killed him.
The body of the recently deceased God glowed, and beams of light streamed throughout the vast universe.
The entire galaxy was now a blinding white.
In his last moments, the God, with the last of his exhausted strength, spoke.
"Run... That is... a False God."
The rabbit was terrified.
False God.
He had once told the rabbit about them.He told it, if it encounters a False God, it must run immediately.
False Gods are those who have lost their Divine Power and are forgotten by all beings.
The death of a God is imminent for them. If no one believes in that God anymore, the God will die when a new cycle begins.
They want to continue living, so they decide to take away from others.
Thus, they roam the universe to find and kill Gods who possess abundant Divine Power.
To seize their place.
To claim the "Name" of that God.
At that moment.
The False God ignored the Rabbit.
In his eyes, there was only one thing on his mind.
To take the Divine Power.
So the Divine Power continued to pour into the bizarre formless body of the False God.
But when the moment of the name being nearly taken approached.
The God didn't want to die without some resistance.
"Little Rabbit."
Snap.
A light flared up and enveloped the Rabbit.
Granting it Divinity.
"From now on. My name will be your name."
"I will continue living under the guise of the rabbit running across this distant galaxy."
"You are."
[@% t##@@!!@#@?]
"No !!!"
"No !!!"
The rage of the False God shattered the planets surrounding them.
The Divine Power he seized from that God was destroying everything.
The universe, once pitch-black, transformed into pure white.
The body of that God had disintegrated to its final point.
Yet, he still gently smiled at it.
"Run away, Little Rabbit."
Tentacles sprouted from the body of the False God.
Rushed forward intending to capture it.
Whoosh.
The tentacle as long as a galaxy couldn't grasp it.
The Rabbit ran.
With each leap, it escaped the white light of the Divine.
Thus, the White Night was created.
Engulfing the entire world in a blinding white.
The False God chased the little rabbit to the ends of the earth.
He possessed the Divine Power, becoming a Divine Being.
But still lacked a "Name" of his own.
He absolutely must catch that rabbit.
To seize the "Name" of the God who had perished.
Otherwise, when this cycle ends.That False God, he will die if his old name is forgotten and worshiped by no one.
The Rabbit closed its eyes.
"And he did not succeed in catching the rabbit that ran through the White Night."
"Everyone only referred to him by a title, for he failed to seize the name of the deity."
"The Apocalypse God."
