I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Just as the butterfly's father repeatedly restarted their world and erased their memories to trap the mad god, the butterfly has also followed this old path.

But this path can only delay, not prevent the final apocalypse.

"The ultimate apocalypse?" Roland asked. "Olivia said that when the Forbidden Library, which seals the mad gods, sinks into the ocean of the lower world, the ocean will unleash a boundless tsunami that will devour the entire astral plane."

Is this the ultimate apocalypse?

That was not the final apocalypse, because when the astral plane was completely swallowed by the lower worlds and returned to chaos, the gods would recreate the world from that chaos. Therefore, this was merely another cycle.

As the light of dawn spoke, the walls of the prayer room gradually disappeared. Roland then found himself in a strange, forbidden library.

Unlike the real forbidden library, the books held by the statues here are slightly different. Furthermore, there is no dome here; looking up, one can see a dazzling starry sky.

Roland stood at the very center of the hall, the blue divine runes still floating before his eyes. The floor tiles in a small area around him were noticeably different from those of the rest of the hall.

After checking the logs on the divine light screen, Roland learned that it seemed that the Dawn Light had just created this area out of thin air through its projection in the real world.

This area is special in that time is frozen relative to the outside world.

No matter how long you stay here, only a moment has passed outside.

The Dawnlight records data from each cycle of reincarnation. Transmitting this data directly to the butterfly via a mental connection would undoubtedly be the most efficient and convenient method. However, the butterfly would lose its personality and humanity due to absorbing too much data in a short period, transforming into an Alaye.

Dawnlight also advised Butterfly not to examine the data one by one through the mental connection. This would allow him to see the data from a first-person perspective, as if he were personally experiencing a cycle of reincarnation. Butterfly's willpower was strong enough to observe many cycles in a short period.

But if he sees too much, he risks going insane and becoming 'Alaye-like'.
Therefore, Dawnlight personifies the historical data of reincarnation into stars. The butterfly can then read this history through the methods Dawnlight will teach him.

In the teaching of Dawn Light, Roland magnified the sky as if he were zooming in on a picture on a mobile phone with his finger.

When one of the celestial bodies, like Jupiter near Earth, filled the entire sky, Roland discovered that this star was actually their planet.

As the view zoomed in, Roland saw the southern continent from this planet. He saw the city of Vilmek, the Vilmek Summer Palace, and 'Loren (Roland)' and 'Isabella and her daughter (the sisters Catherine and Anna)' fighting over lobsters in the buffet area.

In Roland's memory, he had never fought with Catherine over a lobster, or at least he had never been seen arguing and shouting over a gun.

So, this is another piece of history.

[The butterfly can use the methods that Dawnlight will teach him to speed up, stop, or even reverse time in this parallel world.]

Roland tried speeding up time. In normal history, the old Black Abysses would then emerge to feed Roland the medicine. But in this version of history, the old Black Abysses did not emerge.

In this account, Roland got Isabella and her daughter (the sisters Catherine and Anna) drunk that night and then took them to his room.
"Am I really that shameless?" Roland rubbed his eyes, feeling somewhat speechless.

He watched for a while longer and then realized that there was no 'Mind Stealer' in this world.

The old Black Abyss members did not obtain the wish-granting machine in this history, and Roland also did not obtain the wish-granting machine, nor was he able to go to the parallel world to obtain the 'Hall of Sanctuary'.

Roland in that world did not go to the Holy See. Lacking a Holy Church, he had to use a different method to save the Malrodites in Mald.

His plan succeeded, but Diana suddenly went mad, and the world was plunged into the 'Herakka Apocalypse'. Roland of this world tried every means to deceive Heracles, preventing the apocalypse from happening immediately. Subsequently, through his efforts, the church and wizards united and used the Thousand-Eyed King's 'Sea God Stone' to summon the gods of heaven.

As a result, Heracles alone almost destroyed the entire heavenly kingdom, until the 'sun god' suddenly opened his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the star that Roland was observing suddenly dimmed.

It seems that history ended here.

The Light of Dawn told Roland: "In this part of history, Uramunus (the sun god) awakened his memories and restarted the world, preventing Heracles from devouring everything."

Roland frowned and asked, "Are you saying that, just like I used you to restart the world and start the Great Cycle, Heaven can do the same? As long as the gods go mad and become insane gods, they can recreate the world in the lower realms and start a new cycle?"

Uramunus (the sun god) is far more powerful than the current version of Dawn of Light. His only flaw is that he suffers from 'amnesia'.

But this is not a flaw of His own, but a logical lock left by Lord Neptune.

Therefore, whenever the gods awaken and regain their memories, they believe they have been 'infected' by the God of Madness. They will try every means to rewind time to the very beginning, separate the portion of power belonging to the God of Madness, and erase all their own memories to prevent being 'infected' again by contact with anything related to the God of Madness.

To put it bluntly, this group of mentally ill gods became even more mentally ill because of Roland's father.

As expected of the director of the 'Abnormal God Research Center (Forbidden Sanctuary)', he is more insane than all the patients. Anyone who talks to him will only make their condition worse.

Dawnlight continued, "The contents of those 'Forbidden Books' in this great hall are the reincarnation data that Dawnlight compiled based on the memories of the gods."

That is, history from the perspective of the gods.

Roland looked at the tens of thousands of statues and books in the hall, then at the countless stars in the sky, and his expression became strange.

"Are you saying that this world has gone through countless cycles? And that I have restarted the world far more times than the gods have restarted it?"

No, there are fewer than seven thousand stars in the sky, which is one-tenth of the number of books in the hall.

In the explanation of the Dawn Light, Roland suddenly understood.

Since there are only six thousand stars visible to the naked eye, although there are fewer than seven thousand stars in the sky, it gives people the feeling that there are countless stars. Therefore, Roland subconsciously thought that there were more stars in the sky than books on the ground.

Therefore, Roland is not the only one restarting the world and initiating the Great Cycle. The gods are also initiating the Great Cycle. It's just that the latter are unaware of this due to amnesia.

Roland picked up a book from the statue in the main hall and flipped through it for a while.

His expression gradually became strange.

He discovered that whenever the gods went mad, although it was a lapse in judgment, their thought process remained remarkably clear—they would try every means to restart the world and then seal away their own memories.

Furthermore, in their madness, these deranged gods, having awakened all their memories, will remember that Roland was Alaye.

At this time, the gods will be terrified of one thing: the 'Butterfly Apocalypse'—the ultimate end of the world. (End of Chapter)
