"Ping—"

"Dad, where are you touching?" Feng Zhan was embarrassed.

"Ah, my hand slipped." Nangong said calmly, "Don't worry, Miss Saint. Traditional kung fu emphasizes stopping when you've made a move. We have no grudge against each other, and I have no reason to harm you."

"Huh?" Kanzaki was stunned.

I've been healed? It's incredible that I'm still alive after releasing the Stigmata.

My ponytail has grown back.

Heal!

Nangong Xuan seized the Sage's knowledge, especially ten years of swordsmanship cultivation. He easily copied sword techniques such as the "Seven Flashes" and "Only Flash."

I lust after her body.

The Saint's physique is practically a "telekinetic projectile" on the magic side—very durable. Even with Nangong's first line of defense—reflection—and a second line woven with courage, who would complain about having too little health?

The knowledge of [Netherworld Soul Chaser] is insufficient to dissect a saint. Search for information on [Sacred Marks] within the [103,000 Books of Demonic Arts], and construct the same symbols upon yourself.

Just having this thought made Nangong Xuan feel like all the blood vessels in his body were about to burst.

"puff--"

Kanzaki asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

[Reply] The price of magic is so severe. It's heavier than my menstrual bleeding... Is this really okay?

"It's not a big problem."

Despite bleeding from all seven orifices, Nangong Xuan calmly wiped away the blood and used the [Recovery] spell on himself. This allowed him to use magic again, but it was only a temporary fix.

I want to manipulate magic like I would manipulate the God Mode of the AIM diffusion field!

Just do it.

With a thought, Nangong's face contorted into circuit-like patterns, which gradually evolved into magical circuits in Kanzaki's eyes. He was using magic from another world—from "The Healer"—to reconstruct the magical system of this plane, thereby bypassing the contradictions set up by Aleister.

AIM field no longer repels the unique magic of Restoration Warlocks.

Since Academy City is a beginner's village, it's quite normal for superpowers to turn into magic. The newly born Number Demon, empowered by the [A Certain Scientific Railgun], takes its first step towards invading the magical world.

Recreating the body of a sage.

Improved (Heal)!

Nangong Xuan's physique underwent a leap forward, and combined with the [Telekinetic Cannonball], he was at least a double saint. His unique magic and superpowers were completely compatible, much like a hybrid electric vehicle in the human world.

The brain of a superhuman, the body of a saint.

[God Splitter], obtained.

In acquiring divinity, he also obtained the technique to kill gods. Kanzaki Kaori can only unleash her Stigmata for a short time; her body, unable to withstand the power of a saint, will collapse, but she can [recover], ignoring any side effects.

"What a delightful battle!"

The [Holy Mark] on Nangong's face faded, and he reached out his hand towards Kanzaki. The latter was unaware of the changes that had occurred to him; he seemed to have become even stronger.

Return to being an ordinary person.

Kanzaki Kaori regained her senses; they were all unharmed after the battle. The world where only the moon was injured was complete.

She hesitated for a moment, but still took the man's hand.

"……Thank you."

He was practically my destined nemesis, a formidable opponent.

For Nangong, there is a need to develop a skill that can provide energy. Stealing Earth's rotational energy like Accelerator is too wasteful as it cannot be fully absorbed.

There are only 24 hours in a day. Losing even five minutes each day would be a disastrous change for Xiaomeng's biological clock; she'd use it all up without even realizing it.

Hawking's theory of black hole evaporation provides the possibility that black holes radiate energy. When Nangong performed the "stellar curse" on Alpha Centauri, he sensed the terrifying mass and energy contained in the accretion disk formed by the three-star system being sucked into the black hole.

In the original novel, Chunnuan Ximei can connect with black holes to provide energy. Nangong Xuan even wants to devour white holes, celestial bodies that have not yet been observed by humans and are actually the core of quasars.

It's still a long way off.

White Hole, a white tomorrow awaits us.

"boom!"

Although they couldn't hear anything, the two people on the moon witnessed a beam of light shooting out from Earth, as if something had been shot down.

The Dragon King's Sigh?

Nangong Xuan was surprised; the Earth's rotation had slowed down by five minutes, leaving even geostationary satellites behind. Just like that, even the designer of the tree diagram could be hit?

Wait, is my ceiling okay?

Kanzaki said anxiously, "Oh no! Midnight tonight is the last minute to erase Index's memories. Please, take me back quickly!"

"That's a lie the church told you. A human brain can't be overwhelmed by 103,000 grimoires. She won't die as long as the collar is removed," Nangong said bluntly. "So far, everything you've done has been aiding and abetting evil."

In outer space, I can only keep it brief. As we all know, in shonen manga, the real battle of wits begins after the victory; no villain willingly accepts being redeemed.

"Really?" Kanzaki couldn't believe her ears.

Nonsense, I already took the books. How can something a scholar does be considered stealing?

Nangong Xuan pointed to his head and said, "Actually, I also have [Complete Memories]. Let me introduce myself. I am the [Bank] of the science side, a mobile library that records 1,001 superpowers."

It's the symmetrical version of the "Index," but it's the opposite of what it should be.

At this moment, Nangong organized two folders in his mind: the "Bank" for superpowers and the "Index" for magic. He then activated the skill tree, perfectly inheriting two opposing power systems.

Kanzaki Kaori's breathing became rapid, and her face flushed. She was so breathless that even with her injuries and stamina restored, she still didn't have enough oxygen.

A tear slid down her cheek, splashing water onto the moonlit ground.

"Tick-tock-"

If what this man is saying is true, what have we done so far?

At this moment, I am 380,000 kilometers away from my companion. She is on Earth, and I am on the Moon.

"To lend a helping hand to those who cannot be redeemed"—what a ridiculous name for a magic spell. Kanzaki Kaori, a born saint who became the High Priestess, was lucky throughout her life, yet she couldn't protect anyone.

Having lost his companions from the Amakusa-style Cross Cult, lost Index, and even lost the sword in his hand...

We are neither angels nor gods. Saints are just insignificant human beings who couldn't even save a weak little girl.

"If you possess 'divine power,' you surely can do it, right? I'll do anything you ask, as long as you agree. Please, help that child..."

Kanzaki, leaning on her broken sword, let her delicate body slide down limply, almost suffocating.

"Salvare000, I accept your magic name. Before that, I need to transfer some 'true energy' to you."

Nangong Xuan plans to win over a female saint, transforming her from a defeated dog into a loyal follower. Once he defeats her and saves Index, his favorability rating will be maxed out.

"I understand!"

Kanzaki Kaori used her last bit of strength to prop herself up and leaned closer.

Wait a minute, there must be something wrong with Miss Saint's way of breathing oxygen!
