Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

"Tshog'mig'dra? Yul'nag'thok..."

Suddenly, a novice believer's eyes glazed over, and with a smile on his face, he strode straight toward the precipice hanging beside him, with a bottomless abyss shrouded in clouds and mist beneath his feet!

"careful!"

With lightning speed, Leah grabbed the other person by the back of their collar and yanked them back to the ground. Only then did she realize what was happening and shouted sternly, "There are demonic whispers in the wind! Everyone chant the name of the High Priest and pray for his protection!"

The believers obeyed and chanted in unison: "Alas! The star god of great power..."

As the recitation of the name ended, the demonic whispers in the wind and snow gradually faded away. The team members trembled all over, dared not rest for long, and suppressed their fear to continue climbing upwards.

Finally, after a trek of four hours and twenty minutes, the group reached the summit.

The clouds grew thicker and thicker, and countless tiny visions were hidden in the depths of the milky white sea of ​​clouds, appearing and disappearing intermittently. The whispers in their ears returned once again, but those who had been protected by the venerable name of the sect leader were able to barely resist them.

"There was nothing but the whispers of demons..."

As everyone was still wondering, a young believer suddenly staggered and knelt down, pointing to the clouds beside him: "Look! There's something in the clouds! It's an eye!"

As everyone looked, they saw the thick, milky-white sea of ​​clouds undulating and surging like a living thing, with countless tiny pupil-like shadows appearing and disappearing in the depths of the clouds. The wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the thick white fog slowly peeled away to both sides, revealing the precipice hanging in the air in front.

The five people stood holding their breath on the edge of the cliff.

At this moment, even though everyone had long since converted to the primordial god and swore to dedicate the rest of their lives to all mankind, they still felt a desire to kneel and pray before that being in the clouds.

In the Book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament, Ezekiel received divine revelation and saw a vision of the Kingdom of Heaven's chariots by the Kebar River.

“I looked and saw a fierce wind coming from the north, with a great cloud that included flashes of fire and had a bright light around it…and from it appeared the form of four living creatures. And this is what they looked like: they were human beings, each with four faces and four wings.”

"As I was looking at the living creatures, I saw that each of them had a wheel on the ground beside its face."

"The shape and color of the wheels resemble turquoise, and all four wheels are of the same style, with a shape and construction resembling a wheel within a wheel. When the wheels move, they can travel straight in all four directions without turning back. The rims are tall and imposing; and there are eyes all around the four rims."

"When the living creatures walk, the wheels walk beside them; when the living creatures rise from the ground, the wheels rise with them. The spirit of the living creatures is in the wheels, and wherever the spirit goes, the living creatures go, and the wheels rise with it..."

The Thrones (Ophanim/Thrones) described in the Bible are slowly floating above the sea of ​​clouds.

The intertwined triple rings are inlaid with thousands of human eyes, each slowly opening and closing, scanning the earth; in the center of the rings is a terrifying giant human eyeball, and where the gaze falls, people tremble and kneel down, praying to the throne of God in heaven.

“Say the honored name given to us by the Eighth Seat.” The captain had already knelt before the Great One without anyone noticing. “Tell them…”

"God truly exists."

So everyone clasped their hands together and solemnly chanted towards the throne of God: "When a sudden downpour begins in your sky, it's because I'm blowing away the dark clouds for you."

…………

"Who is reciting my name?"

Cheng Cheng descended like a beam of light, then was immediately startled by the Thrones above the clouds: "Holy crap! What the hell is that?!"

The five cultists of the Primordial God were now completely subdued by the power of the demon. With devout expressions, they raised their heads and preached to Cheng Cheng: "This is the throne of the Lord, the living wheel that bears the throne of God, the barrier that connects the spiritual realm of heaven and the material world of mortals—the great Throne, Ophanim (Thrones)."

"What...aren't angels supposed to look like Nico and Zibai? What the hell are these eyes?!"

"shut up!"

"Utter disrespect!"

The Genshin Impact cultists erupted in curses. Cheng Cheng sighed, knowing they had been influenced by the demons, and could only wave his hand dismissively.

"forget!"

The five figures disappeared into the hidden world, awaiting Cheng Cheng to defeat the demon and restore them.

Then, with a slight headache, Cheng Cheng turned to look at the Thrones in the clouds: "Now... how should we fight?"

Cheng Cheng had dealt with demons many times. While the difference between high-ranking and low-ranking demons might not be significant, a demon lord with his own inherent status was instantly recognizable as a primordial demon—this angel's aura was identical to, or even stronger than, that of the Jingguan Bodhisattva from before, so he could guess His identity with his eyes closed—

"Wheel of Fortune," the demon of reincarnation!

"……finally found you."

Since Cheng Cheng withdrew from the game and began to slaughter demons all over the world, until the rebirth of the demons, a full thirteen rewinds have passed. Cheng Cheng has also accumulated more than seventy Earth Seeds, reaping a great harvest.

However, facing the demon of reincarnation alone is not a happy thing.

After all, Cheng Cheng had experienced so many Witch's Nights and had dealt with Seraphia, the Holy Maiden of the Theocracy who wielded the "Wheel of Fate," so he naturally knew about her powers—eyes that could foresee everything and see through all things; and the ability to rewind time to the entire world.

That's really shameless.

Once you try to attack Him, time will be immediately reversed, making it impossible to hit Him; He can even reverse time to the beginning of this day and then change locations before you arrive, rendering all previous efforts futile.

Moreover, against an enemy of the Demon Lord's caliber, ordinary fire is completely ineffective under the suppression of rank; only a killing move can harm Him. The only things that can truly kill a Demon Lord are the powers of the same legendary rank and the source essence of a higher rank.

However, Cheng Cheng only possessed five percent of Freya's essence and legendary fire, which was no match for the Demon Lord at full power.

Moreover, neither "Forgetfulness" nor "Staring Pregnancy Gu" currently possesses the powerful offensive capabilities of their respective classes. They are not as simple and brutal as "Temperance" or "Power," nor are they as suitable for support roles as "Emperor" or "Justice." Instead, they are more focused on functionality and mechanics.

To unlock more of her powers, Freya needs to play the role of Empress well.

"Should we leave first and go find reinforcements from the Primal God Cult?" Cheng Cheng pondered to himself. "I've always heard people from the Primal God Cult say that my combat strength is 'ranked in the top five.' Does this mean that the Primal God Cult has also fought against the Demon Lord and possesses legendary-level power?"

As they were pondering, the Throne, which was suspended above the sea of ​​clouds, suddenly began to move.

The triple-intertwined rings spun rapidly, and thousands of human eyes embedded in the rings rotated in unison. The densely packed pupils opened and closed, flashing coldly and hollowly, fixing Cheng Cheng's figure firmly in the center of their vision!

The air currents between heaven and earth completely froze, and the wind and snow stopped abruptly!

Cheng Cheng's heart tightened, his nerves tensed instantly, and a translucent scepter appeared in his palm, ready to use the power of "forgetfulness" to vanish into thin air—

"Ocu'l'glox'vast? Vi'sp'mor!"

The angel suddenly began to tremble violently.

The massive, ring-shaped body convulsed and trembled uncontrollably, its layered rings shaking violently, as if enduring unimaginable agony. The next second, the faint, ethereal whispers of demons abruptly twisted and rose, transforming into a piercing, ear-piercing scream that ripped apart the deathly silence of the sky—

"Drs'kru'ghā! Hlū'mīl'sog!!!"

The piercing, demonic sound crashed down, causing the entire snow-capped mountain to tremble.

One after another, the thousands of pupils burst open like firecrackers, clear silver blood gushing from the shattered eye sockets, and the intricately intertwined triple rings crumbled and disintegrated little by little...

"Drs'ant'mīr Eyin'thol'gul! Mig'zhor'nag!"

With a final, deafening scream that shook the heavens and the earth, the giant pupil in the center of the ring, which had been looking down on everything, was covered with silver-white cracks and shattered completely like a broken egg!

A cloud of silvery blood mist drifted across the sky, and shattered fragments of wheel rings and eyeballs fell to the ground.

The Throne Archon who perched above the sea of ​​clouds, who single-handedly created the endless cycle of Witch's Night, the Demon Lord of the "Wheel of Fate" who controlled reincarnation and knew destiny, was thus completely disintegrated—

Life and death do not know!

Cheng Cheng: "???"

"He...committed suicide?"

That's a bit ridiculous, bro.

Cheng Cheng had envisioned countless scenarios for the battle, such as the opponent rewinding time to avoid all attacks, or using the power of fate to predict all his killing moves, forcing him to go through great lengths to finally find a weakness, or gathering his teammates to annihilate him...

But what I never expected was that this demon lord, who had trapped countless reincarnations in the world, would die after just one glance at me?

A strange sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in my heart.

"hiss……"

It seems like Serafina does the same thing every time she sees me: she collapses to the ground, writhing in pain until she finally faints...

Could this be a common characteristic of the "Wheel of Fortune," where the holder can see something that causes their eyes to explode, leading to their collapse and death?

Countless questions surged in Cheng Cheng's mind. Before he could sort out his thoughts, a soft light and shadow suddenly floated in the center of the shattered giant eye remnant—it was something made of pure white feathers and translucent wings, wrapped in a faint light, slowly detaching from the collapsed remnant.

Then, carried by the airflow, it plummeted straight down to the snow-capped mountain below.

"Could this be... the spark of the 'Wheel of Fortune'?"

Since the Demon of Reincarnation committed suicide without a fight, the Witch's Night has naturally come to an end, and now is the perfect time to reap the spoils!

Without further hesitation, Cheng Cheng transformed into a streak of light and instantly dashed to the area beneath the light and shadow.

Only when he got closer did he notice something unusual. The size of this ball of light was unusually large, unlike the small and condensed size of an ordinary fire. But he had no time to examine it closely at the moment. He reached out and steadily embraced the warm and soft feather-like light in his arms.

The next instant, layers upon layers of white feathers suddenly unfurled.

Six pure white, light wings slowly unfurled, brushing away the scattered silver blood fragments. As the wings spread, the girl hidden within them gradually revealed her figure.

She was an angel whose name truly reflected her character.

Her long, silvery-white hair, cascading down to her waist, was smooth and translucent, shimmering with tiny specks of light; her figure was slender and graceful, her movements light and seemingly natural; her skin was fair and delicate, without the slightest blemish; her face was exquisitely beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes as delicate as a painting, like a pure white angel fallen from heaven, untouched by the dust of the world, a beauty beyond the reach of human words.

Only her eyes were covered by a thin, hazy white veil.

The girl's eyes were gently closed as she slept peacefully in Cheng Cheng's arms. Her chest rose and fell slightly, her breaths were soft and long, and her lips moved slightly as she uttered soft, indistinct murmurs:

"Sh'gg...dds'Yan...oligigo..."

The soft, warm touch in his arms was clear and real, yet the girl's exquisite face was so familiar it was etched into his very bones!

Cheng Cheng's pupils contracted sharply, his blood nearly froze, and a bone-chilling cold instantly washed over him. His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice trembled and hoarse as he spoke, each word deliberate and incredulous:

"Why...it's you!?"

The girl in his arms was none other than the prophesied saintess of the Holy Kingdom, the legendary figure who wielded the "Wheel of Fate" for a thousand years—

Serafina!

Am I dreaming right now?

Otherwise, why would she, who is in the game "Fate/Immortal Crown," appear in reality? And in the form of a demon lord no less?!

All my previous knowledge and worldview collapsed at this moment!

Cheng Cheng had always believed that the game world was a parallel world independent of reality, and that he and those witches were the only people who could travel between the two worlds... Perhaps the reason he obtained this game that allowed him to travel between worlds was to know about demons and the abyss in advance, and to prepare for the impending disaster on Earth.

However, Seraphine in his arms shattered all his understanding—while he was fighting alongside Seraphine in the game world, the Reincarnation Demon had already descended upon the real world!

The timing doesn't match at all!

Could she possibly appear in two worlds at the same time?

Or perhaps, some world is fake?

"But which world is real and which is fake?" Cheng Cheng hugged the girl tightly, his head throbbing. "Freya, I can't tell!"
