Black Book

Chapter 485 [Fate]

"Boundary Lord?"

Zhu Haomiao frowned as he chewed on this word that he seemed to have heard somewhere before. Two giant snake heads as big as mountains suddenly rushed out from the dark sea of ​​clouds under his feet and swallowed Amaterasu's Nomos and Thor in one gulp.

Bang bang bang~
As if chewing on some hard shell, the upper and lower jaws of the two dark snakes squirmed ferociously, and dazzling golden-red flames and blue-green thunder shot out from between their teeth.

Standing in the pitch-black void, two pairs of long and majestic horns grew out of Zhu Haomiao's head again.

[Greed]: LV.7 → LV.9
[Anger]: LV.7→LV.9
[Gluttony]: LV.8 → LV.9
[Arrogance]: LV.7 → LV.9
At this point, the seven deadly sins have all been promoted to the limit of this plane. Pure black light that devours all colors emerges from Zhu Haomiao's body, like a black sun blooming in the sky, radiating endless spiritual light.

boom!
Dull and distant thunder came from outside the nine heavens, as if hitting the barrier of the enchantment, shaking the entire gray world violently.

At the same time, as if some mysterious switch was triggered, the dark energy that permeated the sky and the earth collapsed and gathered uncontrollably, and quickly returned to Zhu Haomiao's body.

Immediately, endless energy surged up crazily, gathered at the top of the head, and injected into seven pairs of winding and hideous horns.

hum~
The mysterious golden patterns on the horns burst into brilliant divine light, and a huge torrent of energy spread from the root to the top of the horn, and finally flowed into the golden crown that was suspended in the void and burning with blazing flames.

Boom!

Sharp thunder came from above the dome, and the violently shaking barrier was ultimately unable to withstand the power of heaven and earth. It burst like a bubble, revealing the colorful and real real world.

boom!
The Onmyoji, which served as the core support node of the barrier, was instantly blown into the sky by the backlash of the earth veins. Brick and stone fragments erupted like a volcano. Abe Waka held the bleeding Yazaki Yu and dodged, finally escaping the explosion range, looking up at the sky with complicated eyes.

In her sight, a young man in black with twelve dark wings on his back and seven pairs of majestic horns on his head stood on the dome. He looked evil yet sacred, terrifying yet desirable.

But the bond between the two seemed to be separated by some thick barrier. She couldn't be sure whether it was her [Servant] or some unspeakable evil monster.

"what is that?"

Not only Abe Waka, but residents of nearly half of Tokyo saw the godly figure, and discussions quickly spread throughout the city.

However, he didn't pay any attention to the discussions of the natives. Zhu Haomiao raised his head and looked at the golden crown that was gradually falling off from him. With dark eyes, he felt the seven pairs of horns on his head slowly melting, and then condensed into seven gems of different colors and embedded in the crown.

Most of the infinite power was drained away, and the golden crown seemed to have accumulated enough strength. It gradually deformed and squirmed, turning into a gorgeous holy grail that seemed familiar.

hum~
From a concept to a reality, the golden holy grail was suspended in the sky, and the whole world was filled with an unsettling buzz, as if some drastic changes were quietly taking place.

"what happened?"

The Onmyojis protecting Abe Waka trembled violently involuntarily. They could feel that at a level that mortals could not understand, the underlying laws that made up the world were brewing indescribable changes.

"Don't be afraid, we are opening the door to the [Root]."

"【source】??!"

Suddenly, a quiet and gentle whisper came to their ears. Abe Waka and others were startled and turned their heads abruptly to look beside them.

From a short distance away, a kind and wise white old man in a linen hooded robe smiled gently at them, then looked up at the sky and murmured in a chanting tone.

"The Origin is the destination of all magi, and is believed to exist outside the world as the beginning and end of all things, the throne of God that records everything in this world, and creates everything in this world." "But... isn't that an unprovable hypothesis?"

Abe Waka retorted subconsciously, but the kind old man beside him laughed and shook his head.

"No, it's not a hypothesis. If we inject the souls and essence of all the dead Heroic Spirits into the Holy Grail, and use the power of them returning to the Seat of Heroes outside the world to pierce the world, and use the huge amount of magic power accumulated in the Holy Grail to fix the hole, we can create a door to the outside world."

After a pause, the old man looked at Abe Waka and smiled meaningfully.

“With the Holy Grail War as the stage and the gods as the protagonists, I will compose the poem of fate and finally complete the ascension of myself and the world!”

"I call this secret ritual 'fate', isn't it appropriate?"

hum~
At this moment, the magnificent holy grail suspended in the sky emitted a ray of colorful light as thin as a hair, which penetrated into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

The old man looked up at the sky again and chuckled expectantly.

"Are you ready? I will lead you to the real world..."

boom!
Ripples that cannot be described in words spread out from the sky, the barrier between reality and illusion was broken, and a roar bloomed from the depths of the soul, as if to burst the bubble-like illusory world.

Zhu Haomiao looked up stiffly and slowly, and the familiar scene was played out again.

In the center of the boundless sky, it was as if a glass mirror was pierced, and an imperceptible crack spread in all directions like a spider web, spreading to an area of ​​dozens of miles in an instant.

Click!

Immediately, the sky exploded like a glass mirror, revealing an indescribable chaotic void.

At this moment, the space took on a shape visible to the naked eye, falling upward into the void like a broken crystal, and then annihilated and dissipated.

And in the center of the distorted black hole that enveloped the entire sky of Tokyo, a tiny ray of light quickly magnified and instantly connected with this world, revealing a wonderful upside-down mirror space.

It was an equally prosperous and vast city, even the names of both sides were the same.

Tokyo!

The laws of the two worlds began to erode each other. Zhu Haomiao felt the strange pull of gravity and his body "fell" towards the mirror world in the sky.

In a trance, his five senses became disordered, and Zhu Haomiao could not tell whether he was falling or ascending. He just watched the mirror city in the black hole quickly enlarge in his field of vision.

Faintly, he could even see the shocked expressions of countless citizens looking up at the sky and talking about the incident.

"What was that? A mirage?"

Woooooooooo~
The shrill sound of alarms resounded throughout the city. Only then did people realize the danger and began to panic looking for shelter.

In the dizzying feeling of weightlessness, it seemed like he had been falling for ten thousand years, but also like it was only a moment. Zhu Haomiao felt like he had passed through some invisible barrier, as if he had suddenly woken up from a chaotic and hazy dream, and the whole world became vivid and real.
