I, the Masked Swordsman, started my journey through a Lostbelt.

"I want to kneel down, flower."

Mercury felt nervous.

He just didn't want to be ignored by this girl.

As an insignificant person, all I wanted was to avoid being swept away.

In reality, he was like a beginner, an innocent teenager at that time.

Regardless of whether such a time-honored mercury existed, this moment marked his 120-year-old self.

"....Who are you?"

The girl looked bewildered and confused.

Mercury, who was usually ambiguous, finally showed a clear attitude for the first time, but it turned into the most ambiguous joke.

She did not understand what Mercury was saying.

The beach is now deserted.

The scene he described was merely a memory of mercury, yet for the first time, he was unable to accurately describe the feeling.

Due to the principle of eternal recurrence, the world was washed away and reset.

When we returned to the beginning of the divine realm, there was no sign of the girl; we still had to wait for her to return.

What has been experienced will be experienced again.

This unknown aspect of her will allow Mercury to linger in our memories once again.

“Margaret. A second encounter, and I know that I am already her slave, the one I love so deeply.”

The mercury squeaked and laughed on the beach at dusk.

He couldn't help but utter the girl's real name.

At the same time, a unique idea was brewing in his mind after much contemplation, and his thirst for the unknown swelled once again.

The script is gradually being written and taking shape.

"A crucial element is still missing... To make her, as resilient and dazzling as a gem (seeking the Way), do what she needs to do, she must be made into a rich color that can dye the entire ocean (dominance)..."

A neglected corner of memory is recalled.

The most essential element has been found.

"Hmph... I see... I see..."

Mercury, existing like a silhouette, hummed and trembled in its throat, then smiled.

After the Golden One, a second person entered his divine realm and bestowed upon him a negligible unknown.

Mercury unconsciously peered into a certain part of the world.

Yes, he remembered Du Wei's existence.

Du Wei is a part of his consciousness, imprinted with patterns unique to eternal destruction.

As they gradually became familiar with and knowledgeable about mercury.

Presumably, the Moon World will eventually become one of the many bubbles under the throne of God, and be incorporated into the "reason" of eternal return.

The erosion has already begun.

"I'm afraid that in the next cycle of reincarnation, the world of that month will be covered by my 'reason'? Repeating the cycle of knowledge we already know, just like now."

Mercury was easily calculated.

They accurately measured everything in the world where Du Wei lived, and then learned the so-called deadline.

However, there is no problem with that.

As a part of the existing knowledge of mercury, Du Wei's current experiences have also been observed by him to some extent.

"Ah, really, really, really—having ideal goals, a good woman by your side, and all sorts of good things, it's truly something to be proud of. It's wonderful."

Mercury is like the most loyal audience.

As he observed what Du Wei was going through, his blessing carried the venom of a snake.

The words were meant as praise, but they made people unhappy.

It was as if (chbb) was looking at other beings.

If Du Wei were to notice this gaze, he would definitely feel a deep-seated disgust.

The ouroboros, with its tail in its bite, cannot break free or tear apart.

Even now, they are still more closely intertwined than before.

“Let this dazzling jewel be my gift. It is also to make me do what I ought to do. Forgive me, Margaret. This guilt is so intense that I want to tear myself apart.”

Mercury spoke words of apology.

However, there was no apology in his words; on the contrary, there was a hint of pleasure in them.

"Should I let Heydrich (the golden beast) who can kill me destroy everything? Or should I let Margaret surpass me and break free from this law... There are only two outcomes."

So, which one is known? Which one is unknown? What will I become then...?

As the script was gradually improved and revised.

An unprecedented sense of the unknown lingered in Mercury's heart.

"Kill me, Margaret. Destroy me, Heydrich (Golden Beast). I want to die in your arms..."

I'm so confused. I don't understand. Which of you should I pursue? Which of you should I let ruin/kill me?

Mercury strolled along the beach, seemingly lost in reverie.

The gradually quickening pace conveyed their joyful mood.

Is it better to be killed by your best friend or by the woman you love most?

This experience made Mercury feel lost for the first time.

Unable to decide, unable to choose.

It is outside the known range of mercury.

He was born as an old man, and from the very beginning, he was completely rotten to the core.

"In order to get closer to completion (dominance), I still need to shed my skin, my substitute - my offspring (Du Wei)."

Mercury's lips curled up slightly in anticipation.

His serpentine gaze pierced through countless worlds before finally settling on Du Wei, who was in the Fairy Kingdom.

In order to reach the desired ultimate goal.

Mercury wanted the goddess to meet Du Wei, who inherited her divinity, so that the latter would become the former's jewelry.

The opera has already begun.

He casually tossed out a weight as heavy as a strand of hair.

It drifted slowly toward the strange land where the fairy kingdom was located.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the script is rather cliché. But the acting is superb, and I believe this is a masterpiece. So, it should be very interesting..."

This chapter briefly touches upon some of the wrath of the gods.

Just know that Mercury is trying to cause trouble and engage in underhanded dealings.

Chapter Two: Return to the Fairy Kingdom [Please subscribe! Please give flowers!]

The twilight sky remains as dreamlike as ever.

Below the setting sun, there is an imperfect, fantastical giant tree that has broken from the trunk.

The slightest imperfection is the finishing touch to a masterpiece.

In the distance, rolling hills unfold to both sides, their shapes appearing and disappearing in the mist.

The temperature was just right.

A refreshing breeze, carrying a faint floral fragrance, wafts over you.

The lush green plains are a sight to behold, especially under the warm, golden sunlight.

This scene seems to last forever.

This pure and beautiful moment has been preserved forever.

"This is the fairy kingdom of Britain...?"

Atalanta was amazed by the beautiful scenery.

Even the Greek gods couldn't have imagined such a dreamlike world.

The one most deeply moved by this was undoubtedly Artoria, followed by Mordred.

"Britain..."
