Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

At the same time, that space was completely separated from the Grand Temple of Time and was enveloped by that being's laws.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Goetia's heart.

Everything was supposed to be nearing completion, with no more problems possible. He should have been invincible from the start, able to roam freely. Why, then, does he now feel a sense of dread, as if he'd just left the beginner's village and hadn't even had a chance to develop before being brutally attacked by a great demon at his doorstep?!

Chapter 125 Believers are forbidden from kissing gods on the lips; it is a heinous crime!

It has no real name, but it has clearly reached the level of true wisdom.

An existence that is yearned for for this purpose. An existence that takes humanity as food, embarks on a journey to the poles, and creates new stars.

The one who rules over seventy-two curses and burns all of history—that is, the Human Order Burning Style—is the Demon King, Goetia.

Then—the guardian deity of mankind appeared, leaving him utterly powerless!

He should have proclaimed in an incomparably domineering, aloof, and majestic voice, making all Heroic Spirits and the terror of Chaldea as infamous as the shadow of a demon king.

At this moment—Night: "Then, Solomon—no, you are not Solomon, let's call you the Demon King Goetia for now. Little Goetia—do you have any more tricks up your sleeve?"

But the divine power dissipated, as if everything just now was merely an illusion.

But even now, after returning to his normal posture, Ye was surrounded by a chilling and terrifying aura. Anyone could see that he had become stronger!

Using Goetia's attack as fuel, it has become even stronger and invincible!

The ominous premonition finally came true. Among the seventy-two Demon God Pillars, many recalled someone's suggestion: why not sneak out of this space?

good--!!!

Let's go now! There's no more fun to be had.

Even if they don't die, being killed all the time will still hurt! They've already gone crazy from being killed so many times.

They're not playing along with Goetia anymore! Given the power that being has displayed right now, even if he has the ability to kill them but not resurrect them, they'll still believe it.

Are you going to fight this to the death?! Isn't that just idiotic?

Driven by an immense will to survive, many Demon Pillars took advantage of Goetia drawing fire and the enemy's attention before reviving and immediately hiding away.

Only Goetia remained, facing the figure whose mere mention of his name filled him with oppression and reminded him of a demon king. He was the complete individual who turned his back on the universe and revealed a pure white world.

More than a rabbit encountering a predator, more than a wild beast encountering the world, a greater mental and physical pressure descended upon Goetia's consciousness...

Stunned and frozen in place, their bodies stiff, their hands and feet cold, they were speechless and remained silent.

No, I can't take it anymore—just looking in that direction is making me lose all my courage.

That imposing aura, that malevolent malice without malice, the fear that feeds on human history yet is also consumed by others, the true apex predator of the food chain, or perhaps—was he truly the Lord himself descended upon us?!

I shouldn't be the first beast, you should be!

Finally—Goetia spoke from his throne, gazing intently at the 'god': "In the past, there was an all-knowing and all-powerful king. A man endowed with power by the gods. He possessed eyes that could see the past and the future."

"Eyes that can know everything in the world. We became that man's shadow, gaining the same perspective as him."

"—No. It is because we, as the guardian spirits of that man, have no choice but to synchronize with him."

Ye raised an eyebrow: ...!

Synchro Alert!! Three stars plus four stars? Seventy-two Demon Pillars, how many times can they be synchronized? Will it accelerate the synchronization process?

If the Demon King wanted to play cards with him, that would be somewhat interesting. But this time it's just another game of playing cards.

So, if you can't win, you're resorting to verbal persuasion? That complicated look and tone—are you trying to portray me as the wise biblical god who bestowed wisdom upon Solomon?

Not only did Ye realize this, but the heroic spirits who were all very familiar with the legends of Solomon also realized it.

They were able to move again, and those biblical heroic spirits, who were not originally part of Night's army and even felt a little awkward when they were brought under its command, no longer felt awkward at all.

Instead, with a sense of self-awareness, it moved incredibly close and stood behind Ye, as if it were ready to rush out and act as a human shield for the god should there be any danger, even though the god's power didn't need it at all.

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, these heroic spirits would have already knelt down upon seeing Yoru's single glance and gesture of intimidation.

Joan of Arc: '...!!'

The main character seems quite good-looking; I hadn't paid much attention to him before.

Joan of Arc wasn't the kind of person who cared about appearances. Even if she could recognize the charm of the night at first glance, she hadn't really observed the hero closely. But now, with the added filter of identity, it was a completely different story. She frantically wanted to remember that face so that she would have a face model when she prayed devoutly in the future.

The result was that the more devoutly one tried to remember that face, the more one was drawn to its demonic charm. This was especially true in the night, when the powerful laws and mysterious aura of its status had just been released; the demonic charm was completely irresistible and only intensified...

Joan of Arc was shocked by her own infatuated thoughts, and instantly blushed—feeling incredibly guilty! She had actually been attracted to the Lord's appearance, and the more devoutly she tried to imitate it, the more uneasy she felt...

She felt a little panicked by the strange, racing feeling in her heart.

I always felt like I was blaspheming the gods.

If she were an angel, she would have fallen from heaven by now. It must be because I had too many distracting thoughts. To prove my sincerity, I should resolutely and directly confront this issue without running away.

Then—after taking another look, no…I’m about to get a nosebleed.

Why did she suddenly have this urge to tear open Ye's collar and kiss him?!

Even Joan of Arc, who didn't understand romantic relationships, knew what kind of thoughts those were.

Oh my god—!!! That was just too much! Ah, I'm so guilty!!

Joan of Arc was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, as flustered as a startled fawn.

Oh no! How could this happen?!

What Joan of Arc didn't notice wasn't just herself; the Iron Fist Saintess next door had already covered her flushed face with her hands. If she had the chance, she would rather kneel down now, so that she could bury her head in the ground and not let anyone notice her strange condition.

The more devout the believer, the more earnestly they appreciate the face of the night with a pilgrimage mentality, the more likely they are to do something wrong. They are too careless and have no vigilance at all. They want to give themselves away wholeheartedly, like a lamb that has been washed clean and willingly crawls into the pot. Only when it is almost cooked do they realize that something is wrong—too late!

On the other hand, men like St. George were better off. They didn't have the same intense curiosity as women. Instead, they valued the opportunity to fight alongside the Lord and were therefore constantly on guard against any potential enemies.

Even if the Lord does not need their strength, that is not a reason for them to slack off.

Goetia: ? ? I'm here passionately recounting the grave sins of that 'man' Solomon and the tragic vows of the seventy-two demon pillars, and I'm here to tattle on you, are you having an affair? Or is it with that person?

—It is a heinous sin for believers not to kiss the mouth of gods! Absolutely a heinous sin!

...That's incredibly audacious! (It's too much of a shock!)

Chapter 126 He not only denied Solomon but also denied God's conception of the world.

Goetia clenched his fists—! What ridiculous things did he say? What did those blushing female heroic spirits mean? Were they trying to suppress their laughter and mock him?

Let's hold back for now! After all, the difference in strength is too great right now, we can't win!

Goetia continued, "I have witnessed much sorrow. I have witnessed much betrayal. I have witnessed much plunder. I have witnessed many endings."

"That's enough—!" It seemed to be a roar directed at the blushing, infatuated saintesses, and also at Solomon.

Goetia couldn't understand the relationship between men and women yet, but in his eyes, those actions were all provocations.

"There's nothing left to see. On this planet, even gods don't have an ending other than annihilation. We have no interest in humanity or the future."

"What I seek is a complete environment capable of nurturing a sound intellectual being. But this planet is wrong. It is madness based on the premise of 'life that will end'."

"That is why we have such a desire. We will reach the extreme. Looking back 46 billion years, we will witness the moment when 'celestial bodies' appeared in this realm, and absorb all the energy—[to transform ourselves into celestial bodies and recreate this planet]."

At this moment, Goetia finally spoke their true purpose to the descending 'god' with equality—no, with an attitude of looking up to him.

They never bothered to explain anything to Chaldea, a member of human history destined for destruction.

Even though Goetia and his companions had such grand ambitions, they were not even driven by selfish motives.

Even the giants, the progenitors of the Norse world, did not voluntarily become part of the world at first. It was only after being attacked by Odin and his brothers that they realized their inevitable fate and stopped struggling.

Goetia, however, actively sought to detach himself from all things. Did he see himself as the sun? No, even the sun, which nurtures all life, cannot truly reshape a planet, yet Goetia aimed to do so.

The Heroic Spirits had already vaguely sensed something when they descended upon the Grand Temple of Time, but they still chose to support Chaldea.

But hearing Goetia tell the whole truth now is still quite shocking. And at this moment, Goetia's true identity is undoubtedly revealed in his words.

—The whole truth is revealed here.

O Beast of Mercy—possessing a vast ambition that would shock anyone, great ideals and aspirations, powerful endurance and execution, and terrifying determination!

Such a perfect enemy of human reason—indeed, what can kill human reason is never evil towards humanity, but love towards humanity; the essence of human evil is human love.

Like——

All the heroic spirits turned to look in the direction of the night, at the tall figure bathed in light. Their hearts trembled, and they all felt even more awe and reverence.

'Like throwing oneself into evil, willingly bearing everything, yet for the sake of the Lord who holds the future of humanity. All is Your mercy.' The biblical heroes, their eyes burning with fervor, all appeared in devout prayer.

Compared to the Lord, what Goetia did, though also for the good of mankind, gave mankind the opportunity to express themselves and demonstrate their potential, is insignificant.

The Lord will guide, but will not directly interfere with human choices.

The third day following absolute evil arrives only after the second day of humanity's failure.

If one day they truly reach the end of that timeline, it can only be said that as children and as human beings, they did not try hard enough and failed to meet that heavy expectation, which is truly shameful.

But Goetia—he doesn't care about human thoughts, nor does he ask whether human beings are willing to take that choice.

That is why, when Chaldea rebelled against Goetia, the Heroic Spirits stood up to respond.

Goetia didn't understand these things, and it was precisely because she couldn't understand them that she was even angrier.

Isn't he now questioning us? "We will rewrite Genesis and create a planet without the concept of 'death.' This is our great undertaking. We do not destroy humanity out of hatred. It is to obtain the energy to travel to the past, to witness the birth of celestial bodies, and to control the moment and infinite adjustments of all of this."

"A plan of this scale requires immense magical power. It requires all the magical power accumulated by the intellectual body that has flourished for xxxx years. If we convert all of human history from 1000 BC to xxxx AD into magical power, we can obtain the magical power to jump to the origin of this planet. The reason for destroying humanity—burning humanity—is only this."

"If one can understand the sacredness of our grand aspiration, one should understand that whether it is a heroic spirit or a god... if one truly cares for humanity, one should not hinder this grand goal."

Goetia didn't dare to directly point her finger at Night and accuse him of creating a flawed world.

Clearly, he no longer simply sees Ye as the hero and savior in mythology, nor as a pitiful compatriot in need of salvation and pity, but as a 'god' who inspires both fear and anger!

If there truly is a 'God' at the very top of the world, surpassing even King Solomon's true pinnacle, how many worlds could he witness?

That must be all of them!

But just like that hateful, pathetic, and despicable man, he merely sat on his throne, watching those tragedies unfold without feeling a thing, completely unmoved.

Despite possessing the power to change everything, they never attempt to rewrite tragedy.

To be honest, Goetia is like a shut-in who watches a lot of depressing anime every day. The seventy-two Demon God Pillars have accumulated a lot of negative emotions, and he wishes he could personally step in and crush those evil characters in the story, while Solomon has the ability but doesn't try to save the tragedy...

Even though many worlds have proven that simply killing to stop killing cannot save the tragedy, for the Demon Pillars who are almost single-celled organisms, who do not understand human nature and cannot think about too many complex things, indifference and not even trying are enough to drive them into a berserk state, regardless of whether things can be accomplished.

As a Demon Pillar full of love, the Chaldea route was created because Professor Lef witnessed the special existence of 'Mash' and the darkness of humanity, which caused him to go berserk.

In other timelines, Lef sacrificed the awakening of the Demon Pillars for the sake of the world.
