I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

"Brother, Star Lord, Knight War, Dragon Fang, Magic King... these all seem to be me."

How did these world's smartest people arrive at this conclusion?

Claudia said with a smile, "This is also the result of my hard work."

Mingxian and Tianwuyao looked over at the same time.

Claudia said slowly, "I used 'Pandora' many times to observe, and finally found a way to make the whole world believe that Dragon Fang, Mingxian, and my brother are not the same person."

"In the eyes of the six major conglomerates, there are multiple parallel worlds."

"The older civilization wants to conquer this world, and the sentinels it sent out may be Dragon Fang."

"The All-Purpose Essence Crystal is a detector released from another parallel universe."

"The mastermind behind the Knights War is a 'Star Martial Festival' event that was randomly held in a parallel world."

"Among the participants in the battle, there were three people from out of town."

"Brother, the knight of civilization, Dragon Fang; the knight Odin who fled here; and you, who came here to kill Odin."

Upon hearing this, Tengogure nodded as if she understood and said, "So, if Master wants to continue playing pranks, she can use two identities at the same time."

Claudia said, "What does Xianxian want to do? I've already set up the stage."

"Don't talk about this yet."

Mingxian didn't care about that; what he cared more about was the world's scholars' definition of "cursed power."

"The idea that the power of the spell is a 'logic chain'—which sage proposed that? I need to go and see him."

Claudia: "..."

Tengu Haruka: "..."

The two girls exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

In this world, power, wealth, and beauty are not as attractive as an old man.

Claudia uttered the name: "Ladislev Barutosik."

……

Emerald Island is set like an emerald on the blue waves, and the moonlight shines on the tranquil sea, creating layers of silvery shimmer.

Barutosik gazed alone at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could pierce through the dust on the moon's surface and glimpse the secrets hidden within.

He carefully examined the intricate magic circle on the moon's surface.

Every single line.

Each node.

All of this seemed to resonate with the knowledge deep within Barutosik's heart, causing him to furrow his brow from time to time, lost in thought.

call--

Just then, an unexpected breeze brushed against his face, gently ruffling his gray hair, and seemingly carrying a subtle premonition.

Bartoshik slowly turned around, his gaze falling on an old wooden chair in the center of the courtyard.

There, an uninvited guest sat quietly, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if he had traveled from another time and space.

"I am Long Mingxian, and I would like to have a talk with you."

The clear, magnetic sound of the strings broke the silence of the night.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Bartošić's voice was steady and slightly hoarse, revealing a calmness that came with years of experience.

"Matter and consciousness, mystery and science."

“A very tempting offer, but the people here won’t allow it.” Barutosik’s words had barely faded when the alarm suddenly blared, shattering the tranquility like the sharp cry of a nightingale.

The island's surveillance system, with its dense and all-pervasive network of eyes, instantly locked onto Mingxian, its gaze flashing with a cold light.

Dudu!

At the same time, the island's guards responded quickly. Soldiers in bright silver armor, armed with energy weapons, advanced steadily toward the island. Their figures appeared particularly resolute and ruthless under the searchlights.

In the sky, aircraft streaked across the night like falling stars, forming a vast, inescapable net.

This small island was originally a prison where Barutošić was held captive, and every brick and tile was imbued with the intent to monitor and restrain him.

The appearance of the zither undoubtedly touched a nerve on the island.

Not only were the surrounding weapon systems fully activated, but even the orbital cannons in space turned their muzzles to aim at the two people on the ground, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.

In this tense atmosphere, their conversation seemed to be paused.

Mingxian simply extended a finger and gently placed it in front of her lips.

"Shh-"

A gentle breeze stirred, and a war drum suddenly flew out, hovering above the head of the zither player.

"In the presence of the king, one should put away one's sword."

The [Mysterious Maiden War Drum] was blown by a gust of spiritual wind, causing its eardrums to vibrate and produce a mysterious sound.

The sound traveled on the spiritual wind to all the targets.

Boom!Boom!

The sound of kneeling echoed continuously; all the soldiers surrounding the courtyard knelt down, unable to rise despite their best efforts.

All the weapons aimed at the firing pins became ineffective in an instant.

Wow!

The weapons deployed in space all seemed to fall over, plummeting towards the earth and leaving trails in the sky.

Mingxian calmly recited the incantation.

"O wind, bring the king's decree: In the king's name I command: for the sake of the king's conversation with the wise men, all ministers shall keep silent, lest they disturb my words at this moment!"

【Empty Breeze Chasing the Mist】blooms with a spiritual wind, combining with the power of 【Mystic Maiden's War Drum】to convey this command.

On a luxury passenger ship atop a crater lake in northern Kanto, thirty executives of the Integral Corporation conglomerate fell silent, unable to utter a single word.

In a European manor, a conglomerate director who was singing poetry suddenly shut his mouth, unable to utter another word.

At Jielong's headquarters, in the bureaucratic offices, the senior executives who were still talking loudly fell silent and stopped their chatter.

In the council of the Kingdom of Lezetania, the members who had been arguing earlier all fell silent. The entire hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be clearly heard.

In that instant, all of humanity on the planet heard a single sentence.

"For the sake of the king's conversation with the wise men, all ministers should keep their mouths shut, lest they disturb my words at this moment!"

As he said, the planet's "ministers" shut their mouths.

All the powerful and influential were silenced in that instant.

It took Isabella and the other clever people a little time to figure out what had happened. Then these thirty people decided to unify the development direction of the corporate conglomerate and control the operation of the world. After mental reformation, the absolutely rational people at this time actually felt a sense of absurdity.

The Unified Enterprise Group is the ruler of this world.

But before Mingxian, they were merely "ministers".

There is only one king.

This person announced it to the world in the most absurd way.

Who is the king of the world?

Mingxian and Bartoshik's conversation lasted for three hours.

During this time, everyone must remain silent and no one may disturb them.

Finally, Mingxian concluded the conversation with, "You are a precious talent. If you had been born in World 235, with some fortuitous circumstances, you could have become a transcendent."

Barutosik shook his head and said, "I'm very happy to receive your praise, but what can I do?"

"I believe that there have been many people in history who were smarter than me."

"But living in ancient times, they probably couldn't even comprehend geometry, let alone classical mechanics."

Mingxian nodded in deep agreement and said, "There are countless Buddhas, Lao Tzus, and Aristotles in parallel worlds, but most of them are just historical figures."

"Only a small number of people are lucky enough to possess the power to match their ideas."

"You're such a pity."

He admires Bartošić.

Despite having no experience with curse power or the mystical, he was able to make the astonishing conjecture that "the essence of curse power is a logical chain."

Mingxian sighed, "It's a pity that the power I obtained is not the power of Vereslana as a war god, otherwise I would definitely recruit you into my army."

"I'm old," Barutosik said with a wry smile. "Even with your favor, how many more years can I serve you?"

Mingxian said, "Aging and death are the most insignificant topics."

“That’s a real shame.” Bartoshik was also a little sad. “But being able to know some aspects of the multiverse, even if it’s just the blind men and the elephant, makes this life worthwhile.”

Mingxian thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Would you be interested in working for my brother?"

Bartoshik looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Although I am an orphan,” Mingxian explained, “as a god-slayer, I actually have a foster mother.”

“She is the ‘godmother’ of all of us god-slayers.”

"Therefore, in theory, all godkillers are brothers and sisters."

"I have an older brother who is passionate about knowledge and has recruited many employees to act as his brains in researching magical knowledge."

“If you’d like, I can introduce you to him.”

Bartoshik couldn't help but ponder for a long time. He looked at the [Mystic Maiden War Drum] floating in the sky above Mingxian's head, and then thought about his experience of being strictly imprisoned in this place for thirty years.

He had to consider that this might be the only opportunity he would ever have in his life.

Finally, Barutosik breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much for your introduction."

Mingxian nodded slightly and said, "I'm just making an introduction. I'm not sure if the Marquis is willing to recruit you."
