Chapter 474 The Real World (The End)
The next day, early in the morning.

As dawn broke, the alarm on Itogami Island was finally lifted.

The residents and tourists, who had been panicked by the sudden turn of events, finally emerged from various corners, wandering the streets again and beginning to investigate what had happened.

Yes, they had no idea what was happening. All they knew was that they had just been preparing to participate in the eve of the Bolongin Festival when alarms began to sound inexplicably on the island. Then, starting with the Keystone Gate, all sorts of unnatural phenomena appeared on the island, causing the entire artificial island to shake and tremble countless times. The Keystone Gate and the surrounding area were even damaged and frozen, making them think they were going to die there.

After experiencing something like this, how could these local residents and tourists not seek justice?
Putting aside everything else, the emergency hotline, complaint hotline, and inquiry hotline of the artificial island management commune have been overwhelmed with calls, which shows how big this matter has become.

After a period of chaos, the Artificial Island Management Corporation, under the instruction of Nangong Nayue, finally released a statement to the public.

"The disturbance was caused by instability in the spacetime continuum. The instability has now been eliminated. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to residents and tourists."

As mentioned earlier, in ancient Celtic beliefs, people generally believed that at the beginning of winter, the passage between this world and the spirit world would open, allowing elves and witches to flood in.

To protect themselves from these monsters, people usually wear masks and light bonfires, which is the origin of Halloween.

In this world, the legend of Halloween is not without basis. It is true that the spacetime continuum becomes unstable during this period. As Yase Motoki has also said, there have been reports of people encountering visitors from different timelines and uninvited demons from other worlds in the past. Therefore, it is not impossible that some inexplicable things might happen in a demon-dominated area like Itogami Island during this period.

The artificial island management corporation decided to use this explanation to gloss over the incident, downplay its severity, and eventually make it disappear without a trace.

Unfortunately, this incident doesn't involve the LCO (Library) criminal organization, but rather the lords of the three great Night Empires, the three True Ancestors who dominate the dark side of the world, and Aize, who suddenly became the lord of Itogami Island.

This matter certainly cannot be publicized, so the artificial island management corporation had no choice but to use this excuse to cover it up and eliminate the negative impact.

And it's worth mentioning that, because of the Haruin Festival, the people on Itogami Island, whether local residents or tourists, are aware of the special circumstances that might occur during this period.

They were originally attracted by that legend, and now that the artificial island management company brought up this explanation, they were naturally quite receptive to it, and thus they were easily fobbed off.

Not to mention the ordinary people who came to participate in the celebration, even the Xiao siblings were fooled by this excuse.

"So all those strange things happened because the spacetime continuum became unstable?"

Xiao Gucheng suddenly realized.

He knew what had happened last night, but he didn't remember that Akatsuki Nagisa had disappeared.

After Yukina Himeragi brought Kojou Akatsuki and Yuma Sentoki to the Lion King Organization's office, Endou Endou personally used magic to erase some of Kojou Akatsuki's memories, making him mistakenly believe that he had been sleeping in his room all night.

Therefore, he had no idea what had happened, let alone what had been done to his sister last night.

"I heard that even the Keystone Gate was frozen into an iceberg. It's a pity that the Artificial Island Management Corporation sent people to deal with it. I didn't get to see that scene. It's such a shame."

When Akina Sakura woke up, she looked regretful, as she had no recollection of what had happened the night before.

Her memory also stopped before she went to sleep.

At that time, she had just finished chatting with Sentoki Yuma. She had no idea what happened afterward, let alone that she had fought with Aize. Even the spectacular sight of the Frozen Foundation Gate, which she was so regretful about, was caused by him.

Aize examined her briefly and found that she had not lost her memory, but rather that all the memories she had made during that time had been lost as Aurora's freeze mode was lifted, and she had fallen into a deep sleep along with Aurora.

If Azer really creates a new body for Aurora and separates Aurora from Akatsuki, then Akatsuki will probably remember everything, including everything she experienced with Aurora, and the time she unleashed the power of the Fourth Progenitor in front of Azer and fought against him.

When she recalls all of this, it will probably be the time when she and Aurora are saved and no longer in this dangerous state of coexistence.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what her expression will be then."

That’s what Aize thought.

It's worth mentioning that after waking up, Sentoki Yuma wasn't immediately sent to prison, but was taken away by Nangong Nayue.

She seemed to have something to say to Xian Du Mu A Ye's daughter, so she took her away without saying a word and didn't release her until the evening of the next day, which relieved the Xiao siblings who had been worried.

Aize noticed that Sentoki Yuma's expression had become much brighter, as if she had found a new path after being persuaded by Nangong Nayue.

Aize had a gut feeling that the girl probably wouldn't want to use Akatsuki Nagisa to find the prison barrier and rescue her mother anymore.

Anyway, thank you for stopping me.

When no one was looking, Sentoki Yuma quietly said this to Aize.

Aize knew that Sentoki Yuma was not thanking him for stopping her from saving her mother, but rather for stopping her from hurting Akatsuki Nagisa.

Unfortunately, the two had formed a grudge. After that, Sendou Yuma rarely spoke to him. Like an ordinary tourist visiting friends, she spent her days wandering around with Akatsuki Kojo and Akatsuki Nagisa, completely ignoring him.

Aize didn't mind at all; in fact, he was quite happy about it.

After all, his affairs started to increase from that day on.

Qi Yi and the other two seemed to keep their word. Upon returning, they immediately convened a meeting at the Whispering Garden. The three great Night Empires, together with many member states of the Holy Domain Treaty Organization, jointly requested the Prime Minister of Japan to cede Itogami Island, the Demon Realm Special Zone, to Aize.

They paid a price, so the matter was considered mutually agreeable and was quickly settled, allowing Itogami Island, a demon special zone with autonomy, to be quietly transferred to Aize's name and become his territory.

The artificial island management corporation did have objections, especially the prominent families and political figures on the island, including the Yase family, who vehemently opposed it.

But what can they do?

Itogami Island is nominally owned by Japan; they only have autonomy over it.

Therefore, when the Japanese were willing to cede Itogami Island, Aize becoming the lord of Itogami Island was already a foregone conclusion, unless these people directly rebelled.

But do they dare?
They had witnessed, through technological or magical means, the scene of Azer easily defeating the Third Progenitor, the Chaos Princess, and even the Fourth Progenitor, the Flamelight Nightbringer, at the Foundation Gate.

To rebel against someone who can defeat two True Ancestors combined?
Isn't that like living too long?
Furthermore, the three True Ancestors have publicly stated that they will support Aize in establishing his own country on Itogami Island. If necessary, they will provide not only resources, but also manpower, military strength, and even weapons free of charge. If Itogami Island does not want to be at odds with the entire Sanctuary Treaty Organization, it will have no choice but to compromise.

Thus, Aize suddenly became the lord of Itogami Island, but this was not known to the general public.

Aize himself didn't care about the lord's affairs. He just regarded it as compensation from someone else and planned to use it as a place for leisure and entertainment. If he got tired of playing in other worlds and wanted to rest, he could come back here to stroll around, travel, and play the game of life. It would be quite pleasant.

Therefore, when Nangong Nayue offered to take him to meet the high-ranking officials of the artificial island management commune, Aize refused without hesitation. Instead, after the Haruin Festival ended, he returned to the mainland and met the three saints of the Lion King Organization in the High God's Gate.

"From this day forward, you are no longer affiliated with the Lion King Organization."

"You are now officially independent. From now on, you no longer need to act as a spy."

"From now on, you will be the lord of Itogami Island, and we will treat you as the king of a country."

The Tristans' message was simple: Azer was no longer their subordinate, but rather someone they needed to respect and protect.

If Itogami Island and Japan establish friendly relations, they hope that the Lion King Organization can continue to be stationed on Itogami Island, have a place there, and maintain contact with Aize.

The Fourth Progenitor no longer needed to be monitored; her disposal was now internationally recognized as belonging to Aize, and only Aize had the right to do anything to her. Aize didn't say anything about this, only nodded in agreement, and then returned to Itogami Island, handing Qi Yi's USB drive to Nanami Nagatsuki, instructing her to find someone to research it, figure it out as soon as possible, and create a new body for Aurora.

"You're treating me like your subordinate?"

Nangong Nayue was very dissatisfied with this.

"Itogami Island is now mine, and you are the national demon-hunting officer under Itogami Island. If you become my subordinate, whose subordinate do you want to be?"

Aize's words shut her up, making Nangong Nayue grit her teeth in hatred.

Unfortunately, creating a new body for Aurora is not an easy task. Even with the research data provided by Zei, it will still take a considerable amount of time to complete this task.

Aize wasn't in a hurry, nor did he have any intention of getting involved in these matters. He even casually handed over the management of Itogami Island to those he liked, and he himself had no intention of managing the island.

Even with the Fantasy Library, Aize didn't rush back. Instead, he waited until after the Bolongin Festival and after sending the Aldeqia royal family back before preparing to set off.

Incidentally, Natsune Yase ultimately stayed on Itogami Island, continuing to live at Aizawa's house, and did not leave.

La Freya even secretly told Aze that she would come back to him after she returned home and finished dealing with her business.

Lucas flew into a rage and challenged Azer again, only to be frozen into an ice sculpture once more...

"If you have time, come and visit the Kingdom of Aldeqia."

Polyphnia made a pointed remark before embarking on her journey back home with her husband, who had turned into an ice sculpture, and her smiling daughter, bidding farewell to Itogami Island.

Aize felt that if he went to the Kingdom of Aldeqia, it would definitely turn into some interesting situations.

For example, becoming the prince consort of the Kingdom of Aldeqia...

"Hmm... Aldeqia, even a dog wouldn't go."

After making this decision, Aize left this world alone and returned to the Fantasy Library.

…………

"Om..."

When Azer returned to the Fantasy Library and emerged from the blank books, the Fantasy Library's consciousness descended.

However, this time, the will of the Fantasy Library did not come to settle his payment.

[The administrator has completed the crucial initial life experiences, fulfilling the conditions for making the current fantasy world a reality.]

[The fantasy world is beginning to become real...]

[Begin granting new permissions...]

As this thought descended, several books suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, flying out one by one and arriving in front of Aize.

"these are……"

Aize was stunned when he saw the covers of these books.

—Asterisk War.

—High School DxD.

—Bleach.

——"Camione the Godslayer".

—Strike the Blood.

These books are none other than all the fantasy worlds that Aize has experienced so far.

[Collecting fantasies, creating books, bringing the illusory world to life, and building countless diverse and wonderful universes and dimensions—this is the function of the Fantasy Library.]

To bring a fantasy world to life, it needs real-life experiences.

The life others imagine is ultimately unrealistic. Without real people experiencing it, fantasy will remain just fantasy and will never become reality.

And you, the librarian of the fantasy library, experienced those imagined lives and worlds, finally bringing them to life.

From that day on, these worlds were no longer fantasy worlds, but real worlds.

For this reason, the Fantasy Library granted Azer new access.

You can recruit people from these worlds to become your deputies.

You can experience new fantasy worlds together with them, or you can experience them separately, accelerating the realization of those fantasy worlds.

Please imagine what he/she looks like in your mind.

Upon receiving this message, Aize subconsciously pictured those people in his mind.

Some of his former companions from the Star Martial Festival...

He has teammates who travel the world with him, battling various mythological figures...

He had a bond formed during his college days, and his adjutant had been inseparable from him ever since...

Knights and witches swore allegiance to him and called him king...

Finally, there was his target of surveillance, his live-in partner...

"Zheng——"

Inside the library, a burst of light appeared, and figures emerged one after another.

Looking at these familiar figures, Aize smiled.

That smile was more genuine than ever before...

"Welcome to the Fantasy Library, my friends."

Here, he was no longer alone.
