Night is Still Young

A/N : Okay guys, I have started uploading on Scribble hub. However, uploading all of the chapters from the webnovel will take some time. But, I will try to finish it by the weekend.

The eternal sun in the sky, illuminating a divine kingdom in an golden glow, assenting to otherworldly ethereality.

This was a place where a few ragged sounds could suggest a symphony. A place where chaos presents patterns, idle fantasy turns into fornication, and memories feign meaning.

This was a paradise. This was a utopia.

This was Avalon.

A castle perched on a lush mountain with a backdrop of white clouds splattered with gold pallets.

Inside the dreamy castle, Aucuses rose from the streaming bathtub, taking the towels and wrapping one around his naked and chiselled body while using another to dry himself off.

He walked out of his bathroom, his golden eyes shining brightly and brimming with energy, stroking his wet head with the towel.

He walked into his bedroom, making his way to a white table near the bed, where a cup of steaming coffee was already nearby the bolt of lightning.

He took the coffee in his right hand, finally putting an end to his head-wrestling, and threw the towel on the bed.

Aucuses finally took a sip of coffee, taking in all the light breath and hot steam from the coffee.

His shoulders sagged, his eyes filled with relief, and he sighed contentedly.

He succeeded.

Despite his nervousness and doubts, his plans all worked out for the best in the end.

He can finally unwind and enjoy the brief respite.

His thoughts wandered to the past as he sipped his coffee with relish.

Amanises was the cornerstone of his plan. He confronted her soon after Edward was given the blessing and proposed a deal.

He told her about the situation at the River of Eternal Darkness and Lilith's concealment, though he suspected she already knew. Nonetheless, he put forward the information, purposefully emphasising Salinger's goal, which was to take complete control of the tributary of the ethereal river, and he was most likely on his way to accomplishing that.

Then he prospered an alliance between them. He'd help her deal with Salinger, and she'd help him deal with Leodero. He also asked her for a way to get around Lilith's concealment.

It was a win-win arrangement.

He wasn't sure whether Amanises would agree to any of this in the end. After all, whatever he could give her, Leodero and Herabergan could match.

Nevertheless, she accepted it after staring at his figure for a few seconds. That was unexpectedly quick. It almost made him wonder if she had any ulterior motives. But now, remembering the complex look she gave him before he left, he just laughed at previous thoughts.

Then he told her about the majority of his plan, the most important part being Edward's concealment. His plan was far from simple, considering he had to deceive all the other gods, including Herabergan, the omniscient one.

The Authority of Concealment held by Amanises won't be just enough to achieve this.

He, on the other hand, had a scheme. If you want to fool the gods, you should first fool reality. He needed to change reality in order for the world and history to believe Edward died. This was not easy to accomplish without the knowledge of other gods, and the authority required was far too great.

He had thought about this problem for a long time. The Golden Order was his solution.

When Adam and Amon assisted him in seizing full control of the golden order, he used it not only to deal with the city of calamity, but he also altered reality to fabricate the authenticity of Edward's death. And, even if Amon and Adam did not assist him with the Golden Order, he had already devised another method of gaining temporary control.

Returning now, his golden order has altered reality. Then he and Amanises waited for the right moment to stage that play for all of the gods to see.

'Herabergan….' While sipping his coffee, Aucuses reflected. 'He still wasn't completely deceived. As expected of him.'

His plan worked. Whether allies or enemies, the gods believed in his woven tales. Herabergan was still cautious to the end, not taking such a valuable risk.

He kind of expected it. Omniscience is deeply concerning. But, his choice didn't matter much because his main goal in the war had always been Leodero.

The gods' war broke out. Despite his faith in Amanises, he devised some contingency plans in case he needed to flee the battlefield right away.

He ultimately triumphed....

Aucuses placed the empty cup on the table and took the lightning blot – uniqueness of the Tyrant Pathway.

He must become a dual-pathway god before the war of four emperors resumes, with four emperors now on stage and seven gods exiting the curtains, to deal with Salinger and Herabergan.

Aucuses finally put his uniqueness aside and rose from his bed, walking towards his wardrobe with enthusiastic eyes.

He can't keep Lilith waiting any longer…..

Trier.

Aucuses appeared in the deserted city square, littered with debris and rumble. His figure was illuminated by the gentle silvery glow of the endless stars in the black heavens.

He cast a glance over at the city of the sun, which had been heavily damaged by the war. The air was thick with sorrow and sadness.

Ignoring all of this, he made his way to the centre of the square, where a small ramen stall stood, completely out of place in this ruined city.

Lilith stood inside the stall, dressed in a tight black gown. She was gently blowing on the broth while finishing the ramen.

She smiled brightly as she noticed him. Then she took the finished bowl of ramen and placed it in front of the counter, saying softy.

"Congratulations, my love…"

Aucuses took his seat, and without saying anything, he began devouring his love's ramen. Lilith just sat there with him, arms crossed on the counter, smiling.

He ate it quickly, as if he was too eager to be done with it.

"Calm down..." Lilith chuckled. "I am not going to run away..."

"No…" In-between bites, Aucuses said. "I'd waited long enough. It's nearly a century..."

He was done in a flash, putting the bowl away and looking at her.

"Let's go to my kingdom..." He spoke silently.

"Aucuses…" Lilith's figure began to change. Her blonde hair turned white, and her skin became abnormally pale, all while a white crown adorned her head and a phantom of a crimson moon formed above her.

She was no longer Earth Mother, but Sanguine Ancestor Lilith, the ancient god described as the most beautiful of all, with another equally disgusting and ferocious side.

Finally, she fully revealed herself in front of her love.

Lilith looked at him, her crimson eyes shining and her voice quivering.

"Do you still love me like this?"

Aucuses smiled as he grabbed her hips and pulled her close to him. "I will always love you, Lilith, no matter what."

Lilith smiled, a smile that spoke volumes about her happiness and relief.

"I love you too, Aucuses."

Under the blanket of stars, Aucuses kissed her on the lips vehemently.

He looked at her as if she were the only star in his eternal night. He kissed her as if she were the air in her lungs.

"Let's go..." Lilith said as she moved away from him. "You know, it's not just you who have been waiting."

Aucuses immediately wrapped her in a princess hug and grinned.

"I'm going to make you scream tonight."

Lilith rested her head on his chest, listening to his racing heart.

"I expect nothing less." She said passionately.

Their embracing figures faded into glittering light particles.

The night is still young.
