The Sun - Lord of Mysteries (fanfiction)

Chapter 123: Trier

On July 29, 1110, the United Empire fell apart with the betrayal of Alitsa Tudor, one of the dual kings.

On July 30, 1110, the beast of chaos was unleashed on the lands in between, causing social order to come crashing down. Except for major metropolitan cities, the territories of empire have decentralised into anarchy.

On July 31, 1110, the Angels Families of Amon, Abraham, Antigonus, Jacob, and Tamara betrayed the Seven Gods and swore allegiance to Alitsa Tudor, who now goes by the honorific name of Blood Emperor.

On August 1, 1110, Chaos became the ladder for the ambitious and treacherous angels. Seven new nations emerged almost overnight, declaring sovereignty over parts of the northern continent.

With their declaration, the red gates of hell opened on the continent, and war and death engulfed the lands in between.

On August 2, 1110, Trunsoest, the Lord of Order, dispatched his royal legion of ten angels to quell the chaos and subjugate the insurgent nations.

At 2 p.m., however, a historic declaration was made in Backlund Square, which swept the continent like wildfire, causing many to shiver to their bones, terrified of the coming dark era.

The Churches of the Lord of Storms, God of Knowledge, and God of Steam announced their unprecedented alliance to the world, shattering the churches' long silence in a terrifying way.

They then declared all-out war on the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

The entire power of the churches was mobilised and marched towards Trier, located in the westernmost part of the northern continent.

An unprecedented army of over 80000 beyonders marched across the continent, trembling it and striking fear into the even hearts of the bravest.

In response, the Churches of the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Earth Mother also declared war, mobilising all of their troops and entering the war.

In about a week, the armies of both alliances are expected to clash in callide valley between the Hornacis Mountains, blasting off a symphony of calamity...

The light of stars adorned the dark heavens, illuminating the world with a silvery glow.

The divine mountains, the Andal Mountains, graced the residence of Eternal Blazing Sun. The golden mountains stood tall, visible from the farthest cities on the continent.

A luminescent door floated above the highest peak, emitting a divine and sacred aura.

Suddenly, a star in the sky shone brightly before descending from the dark heavens, leaving a trail of silvery light.

It landed and exploded into starry blue light on the highest peak of the divine mountains, right in front of the golden door.

The starry blue light converged and morphed into an illusory starlight door with images of swirling galaxies on it.

Creak!

The door swung open, a bloodthirsty aura erupting from within and engulfing the entire Andal Mountain. It almost materialised, collaging the very fabric of reality with a thick mass of blood.

Alitsa Tudor emerged from the twisting starlight door, dressed in red royal robes. His long red hair swayed in the hot breezes, and his iron-black eyes were filled with insanity as he stopped and looked at the floating luminescent door.

He walked forward, each step trembling the mountain to its foundation.

As he approached the colossal door of light, his crimson crown gleamed with an illusory light.

"I demand an audience with you, Aucuses." Alitsa spoke, his deep and dark voice reverberating through reality, twisting it to his will.

The illusory golden door emitted a bright beam of light that illuminated the Andal Mountains, making them appear as bright as day. It cleansed the bloody aura before cascading down to Alitsa Tudor.

Aucuses emerged from within the beam of light, dressed in his usual black and white attire, his indifferent eyes staring at the intruder.

"You didn't just break through the door?" Aucuses smiled as he approached the blood emperor. "I can't say I'm not disappointed."

"I am no fool to fall for your pretences." Alitsa sneered, his eyes narrowing at the sun god.

"Well" Aucuses chuckled, his brows raised. "It appears that the betrayer hasn't completely gone insane..."

"Madness is subjective." Alitsa smiled, his black eyes shining with madness. "Especially when it comes to divine. You should know more about this than I do, Aucuses."

"Indeed." Aucuses nodded, his indifferent eyes glinting. However, he continued with a shrug. "So, I'm here; speak, Alitsa."

"I seek sovereignty over the province of Trier." Alitsa states his demand unequivocally.

"What made you think I'd agree to that?" Aucuses spoke in a low and dangerous tone.

"You are being surrounded."

"From all sides," Alitsa replied patiently. "You're going to lose the war. It didn't matter if Ombella sent her entire church as aid."

"The alliance of three churches, with secret assistance from Amanises, will demolish your troops and pierce right into Trier, city of the sun."

"This will undoubtedly shake your anchors. They will see to it that it happens. Then, in your weakened and battered state, the war of gods will begin, and you may face two or even three gods at once. I don't think I need to elaborate on the end result of that."

He continued with a twisted smile after noticing the silence of the sun god.

"But it doesn't have to be that way. In exchange for Trier's sovereignty, I will allow the angel families under my command to fight alongside your church. In this way, not even other gods can point this out because I am only sending troops to defend my land. And your faith in my new empire will not diminish. It's not like I can shake it anyway."

He laughed, his eyes dangerously glinting.

"So, what do you think, Aucuses?" Alitsa finally asked, his handle reaching for the hand of his red sword.

"Fine." Aucuses nodded simply, his eyes indifferent.

"What?" Alitsa inquired again, his eyes widening slightly. It was as if he didn't expect the sun god to agree so easily.

"It's fine." Aucuses elaborated patiently. "Your terms are acceptable. You can rule over all of Trier."

He smiled. "As for my church, like you said, you can't shake it anyway."

Alitsa stepped forward, volcanic rage coursing through his veins. "Don't look at me like that, Aucuses!"

"Like what?" Aucuses chuckled, cocking his head obliviously.

They faced each other, their divine auras clashing and thundering.

"Like you always do. Your utter contempt for me is so palpable." Alitsa seethed. "I am no longer an angel crawling under your feet."

He yelled. "I am a God, just like you!"

His voice echoed through the air, burning the reality as hot as the surface of a star.

The world around him and Aucuses altered into an expanse of red fire and brilliant light.

The madness in his iron black eyes deepened as his heart thumbed heavily against his chest, like a beast rattling the chains in an attempt to break them,.

"Chain your madness, Alitsa Tudor." Aucuses spoke in a low, deep tone. The ocean of light pierced through the crimson flames, illuminating the entire illusory world.

The world faded away, revealing the unaffected Antal Mountains.

Alitsa heaved through his nose, like a wild beast freed from shackles. However, the madness in his surging eyes receded eventually.

"Why? Why do you choose Trunsoest over me?" he finally asked.

Aucuses unexpectedly answered. "You reminded me of my past self."

Alitsa was taken aback. Aucuses continued, shaking his head and looking at him indifferently.

"But even I knew when to stop. And you didn't."

Alitsa silently looked at the sun god before turning back and leaving the antal mountain.

However, he abruptly turned back, his hands clenched.

"This doesn't mean I'll be on your side in the coming war of gods, Aucuses."

"Okay." Aucuses stated, with a blank expression.

Alitsa Tudor immediately left. He didn't dare to stay here any longer, as he was about to lose it again when he heard Aucuses' utter disregard in his voice.

It was not the time to confront Aucuses. But it won't be long before the right opportunity presents itself.

At that time, he will extinguish the eternal sun in the high heavens and bring that sun bastard down from his fucking high horse!
