I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

'How is that possible? From the perspective of reincarnation, her power isn't nearly that terrifying!'

Suddenly, Roland realized that the world before him had changed.

The world was utterly desolate, covered in crimson spiderwebs. The light of dawn had vanished, the wizards had disappeared. Even the stars in the sky were covered by crimson spiderwebs, leaving only the celestial body symbolizing the sun god emitting a faint glow.

The world has become a wasteland.

This appears to be a true apocalyptic scene, as if all but a few gods, including the sun god, have been devoured by some unknown entity.

Suddenly, everything before Roland's eyes returned to normal.

The Corridor of Truth remains the same Corridor of Truth. The Milky Way stretches across the sky, where the gods, symbolizing the stars, contend against the vast black void. On earth, wizards float like fireflies in mid-air, awaiting Roland to unite their wills.

Everything seemed normal, as if what had just happened was just an illusion, but Roland tensed up. He suddenly realized that the goddess Heracles he had awakened from Olivia's body was not the present or past goddess, but the future goddess Heracles.

The one who had already taken over and devoured Roland, and then used Roland's power to devour the Dawn of Light, the Wizards, and even the entire Heavenly Kingdom, was 'Alaye Heraca'.

'Over the past fifty years, I've finally found a way to keep myself from going mad when I transform into Alaye. If I let her become the dominant will of Alaye, then all the preparations I've done over the years will have been for nothing!'

Roland was covered in sweat, trying to put the thing inside Olivia that was about to awaken back into slumber.

Although both Roland and Heraca, as the primary will, are ultimately Alaye, the latter possesses a significant element of instability—after consuming everything in her madness, she may not necessarily pull the world back from the Zero Realm as planned.

Therefore, if Heracles were to become the dominant will, no one knows what the future holds.

However, Roland was quite certain of one thing: Heracles was far more destructive than he was.

Roland is now quite certain that if he fails to control the situation, both wizards and gods will face a completely unknown future.

He knew very well how terrifying this Aleye Heraka was.

But the wizards, unaware of the situation, were still worried about whether her power was sufficient to complete the mission.

“Don’t worry!” Aurelia said to the crowd amidst the commotion, “Back then, she almost single-handedly flattened the Kingdom of Heaven—no god in the entire Kingdom of Heaven, except for Uncle Ulamonos, was her match.”

She failed last time, but this time we and my brother are here. With Alaye's special power, even if all the gods of dawn return to help Heaven, Heaven is doomed.

"Indeed, theoretically speaking, we should become stronger over time."

Catherine said solemnly, "According to the old scriptures, Alaya, the foolish god, is not the strongest mad god, but he is the most terrifying one."

The Butterfly Apocalypse was also the apocalypse that the gods feared most.

Because any god weaker than Alaya who comes into contact with Him will be devoured and transformed into His power.

Therefore, the more gods there are in heaven, the more terrifying the Butterfly Apocalypse will be.

The only way to stop this apocalypse is to seal Alaye away before he grows up.

According to the history of reincarnation recorded in the Book of Evil, every time Alaye awoke in the past, the goddess Heraca would seal him away immediately, but this time she would not.

Many wizards agreed.

Now that Heraca has been turned and so many Eastern Wizards have ignited the Mad Fire, this Doomsday Fire, named Alaye, will spread like wildfire from the very beginning.

The gods of heaven, even when combined, are incredibly powerful, but before this Alaya, they are nothing more than prey.

In the entire kingdom of heaven, only the Supreme God is unafraid of Him. Even the chief gods can be devoured if they are not careful.

Therefore, once Roland awakens Heracles and uses her power to instantly devour all the wizards, it will become a game of cat and mouse. In other words, aside from the Supreme God, all the gods who are caught will be eaten by Alayer like chicks.

As one power diminishes while the other grows stronger, Alaya will become increasingly terrifying. Once it has consumed enough gods, even the Supreme God will become Alaya's meal.

This is the most terrifying apocalypse; if Alaye isn't contained at the outset, no one can stop Him.

Therefore, the wizards' only concern was whether Roland would come to his senses when this initial step was over and when everything was finally finished.

"Roland, how much longer? They've already noticed us from above," Catherine asked solemnly, looking up at the distant sky.

As soon as she finished speaking, the female giant's body suddenly began to sway wildly again. And her body grew even larger.

It was only then that everyone realized that the female giant was not actually swaying her body randomly; she seemed to be dancing to a musical piece.

Watching this dance music, Catherine suddenly thought of a cult—the Holy Blood Cult.

Among the Holy Blood Wizards, there is an extreme dark wizarding organization that has been labeled a cult by the Eastern Territory, known as the 'Holy Blood Cult'.

This religion worships the goddess Heracles to an extreme degree and believes that the goddess's true nature was sealed by the despicable wizard Roland into the body of the angel Olivia.

When this cult holds rituals such as the "Scarlet Feast," they often perform a masked dance to please their gods.

This dance looks very elegant and normal, perfectly in line with the social dances of the Victorian era. The only difference is that the dancers cover their faces with their hands while dancing.

This incident caused quite a stir back then, even alarming Olivia. It was she who led the judges to eradicate this cult.

Catherine still remembers the look on Olivia's face when she returned from eradicating the cult.

She once said, "The divine runes sealed in the Book of Rest were almost broken by this summoning ritual."

Therefore, the 'Crimson Feast' can awaken the madness buried deep in Olivia's memory.

The giantess is now performing the same dance used to summon the mad Heracles during the Crimson Feast.

Looking at the giantess dancing gracefully before them, everyone looked at Roland with puzzled expressions.

“Roland, isn’t this going a bit too far?” Catherine reminded him with great concern. “Isn’t her mental state too unstable? You might not be able to control Heracles like this, and you might even be influenced by her and go crazy.”

Roland chuckled and said to Catherine, "Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak."

"???"

To everyone's astonishment, they suddenly realized that Roland and the giantess were not human at all, but two puppets made of silk threads.

These two cloth idols, like silk threads being pulled from a cocoon, released countless red threads from their bodies.

Caught off guard, the wizards were bound into cocoons by the overwhelming silk threads. These cocoons wriggled and struggled for a moment, then began to unravel and release even more silk threads.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Corridor of Truth transformed into a drawer crammed full of red threads. After wriggling for a moment in the 'narrow space' of the Corridor of Truth, these red threads surged like a flood towards the crowd below the Holy Mountain.

The wizards watching from below the mountain thought that Alaye's plan had begun, so they all opened their arms and opened their minds to welcome the red-silk true god.

As more and more people came into contact with the threads and became threads themselves, the red threads began to spread across the seven foundations of the Dawn of Light.

Gradually, the entire light of dawn transformed into a vast, red cocoon that blotted out the sky. It began to frantically spin silk threads, surging towards the heavens where the gods stood, amidst their horrified gazes. (End of Chapter)
