I'm trying to read "Dies Irae" and stucked with this part
「笑う水銀の超越と」 in the following sentence - 笑う水銀の超越と、遥か天の方陣から、黄金の破壊も愉悦の相を隠さない。. 水銀 as far as I can understand is the name of a character. Specifically I cannot grasp the meaning of particle と and の超越 part, my translation would sond something like this - "Trancendency of laughing Mercury", still the usage of particle と is not reflected here.
