My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Paimon can't possibly keep using that inexplicable method of making his attacks disappear forever.

The distance between the two sides was too great, and the director's eyesight was not enough to see Paimon's specific methods. As she tried to continue her attack, the blue star under Paimon's right palm turned white.

The pale sphere, which had turned white, began to shrink again. After shrinking to an extremely small size, the pale sphere disappeared, along with the spatial channel of the Devouring Star Spear.

As the spatial portal was canceled, Paimon, high in the sky, whispered, "The world!"

In that instant, the rules of time were manipulated, time was paused, and Paimon began the next step.

With Xia Qing's conceptual power combined with the Sirin character card, it was easy to color Sirin's abilities. Sirin's spatial channel disappeared and then reappeared in an instant.

With a wave of his right hand, Paimon created a pale silver tunnel, and then he walked into it at a leisurely pace.

The next moment, time began to flow again.

As time passed, dazzling star spears shot out into the space passage below, their target being Olga Marie.

To outsiders, the massive, azure cone-shaped attack, resembling a giant meteor, hurtled towards the director.

What just happened?

The moment he recovered, the director sensed that something was wrong, as if something was vaguely telling him that something bad had just happened.

"It's time; Paimon has stopped time."

Solomon's voice rang out, and the director's expression changed upon hearing this reply.

During the time he was suspended, Paimon certainly wouldn't just sit there and wait to die.

Solomon's response a second later confirmed the director's suspicions: "Paimon's position has changed, he's... wait, watch out, run, run fast, don't look back!"

Upon hearing this, the director instinctively cast a large amount of acceleration and defense magic on his body, then jumped off the high-rise building and fled quickly.

If she were to turn around at this moment, she would surely find Paimon watching her with a half-smile right behind her.

The director, who did not turn around, did not notice the horrific scene. After hearing Solomon's reminder, the director did not have time to think too much and jumped off the roof, rushing directly towards the edge of Fuyuki.

His attack had not been effective, and Paimon's counterattack was imminent if nothing unexpected happened.

"Khaki Detachment Too~"

Just then, music suddenly started playing, and the director was momentarily stunned. Solomon then explained:

"I'll play you a song to cheer you up. Keep it up, Olga, you haven't managed to escape Paimon's attack range yet."

Solomon's wisdom even has the function of playing background music?

The director's expression was somewhat subtle, but she didn't ask anything at the moment and continued sprinting with a fairly standard running posture.

As a magician, how can you not know how to escape?

After running for a while and learning from Solomon that he had escaped the area of ​​influence, the director turned to look behind him. At this moment, the blue light cone formed by countless star spears falling from the sky was about to land.

The moment the light cone hit the ground, a shockwave swept over her. The director barely managed to steady herself when a figure appeared out of thin air not far from her.

"You are...Paimon!"

Upon closer inspection and recognizing the other party's true identity, the director instinctively took a step back, while Paimon said in a rather amused tone:

"That level of grand magic has theoretically disappeared since the Age of Gods. Besides, even if it hasn't disappeared, that kind of magical power is not something a young girl like you can afford."

Hmm... let me guess. Someone must be helping you in secret, right? If I'm not mistaken, that person helping you is probably Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology.

Despite Paimon's apparent elation, he sensed something was amiss and quickly regained his composure. Sometimes, aura is a crucial element in battle.

"Then you're wrong. Zeus is indeed not among the beings who helped me."

Chapter 671: It's time, log in to NetEase Cloud Music!

"The one who helped me was none other than King Solomon, whom you serve, Paimon the Demon!"

Seeing that Director Paimon's tone was somewhat unfriendly, Paimon scoffed at the reply: "How could such a thing be possible? What right do mere humans have to earn the favor of our king?"

The director, who had just finished setting up the spell, shrugged. He was telling the truth, but the demon in front of him just wouldn't believe him.

At this moment, Xia Qing continued to speak to the director in Solomon's voice: "Wait, when I was in charge of the seventy-two demon gods, I set up a secret code as a password between the demon gods. You can try it on Paimon."

Upon hearing this, the director felt a surge of excitement. Wait, could it be that he could slip through using the password?

After learning the detailed password from Solomon, she closed her eyes, coughed twice, and said in a clear voice, "Meeting in another world, enjoy the delicious food."

Good heavens, I never imagined that one of the slogans that was being argued about in that place was actually a secret code between demons.

"Ah, this is indeed the code used by us demon gods to communicate. I never thought that future humans could even figure out such a code."

Paimon spoke to the director with a subtle expression, and the director quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed the code was correct.

"But...is life on Mars lonely?"

Seeing that Olga Marie had relaxed a little, Paimon asked in a subtle tone, and the director, upon hearing the question, was momentarily confused as to what Paimon meant: "Huh?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. The one who understands you best is often your enemy. Our understanding of humanity far surpasses that of humanity itself."

Paimon spoke slowly and deliberately, and the director became suddenly alert upon hearing this.

It seems this demon and his group were not unprepared; they came prepared.

But what does Mars mean...?

The director only occasionally plays games and logs onto the forums because of Romani; most of the time, she is still the very proper director of Chaldea.

For a moment she couldn't figure out what Mars meant, but at that moment she suddenly felt a deadly pressure in her heart, a warning from Solomon's wisdom.

Paimon replied in a cold, murderous voice, "Your code... is too late!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon made a decisive move. A white short sword suddenly appeared in Paimon's hand, and then he forcefully stabbed it towards the director.

After receiving the warning from Solomon's wisdom, the Director of the Nearly Same World directly released multiple acceleration spells. She quickly dodged the attack, rushed a few steps towards Paimon, turned around, and kicked Paimon.

The director, who had kicked Paimon, ended up kicking nothing at all. Without thinking, he released a wide-ranging barrage of magic bullets and quickly made his escape under their cover, trying to create some distance.

Among magicians, the director is undoubtedly closer to the kind of magician in traditional stories, and her fighting style still prefers ranged attacks.

Like a rain of stars, the magic bullets struck Paimon's original spot, kicking up a cloud of dust. Looking at the Dust Director not far away, Paimon felt a little panicked.

Did the trick you just used work?

"The framework of emptiness, the overflowing cup, a thousand stars reflect the reverse of the original state and transform into matter, the star matter gathers into the form of Taiyi, and then transforms into it, the two matter return to the source, and the fruit of a new contract is formed."

Although it was unclear and hadn't worked, the director wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by. Looking in Paimon's direction, the director unleashed another Celestial Science Grand Magic.

Grand magic spells vary in strength, and the director is currently not using any of the weaker, more convenient grand magic spells, as she highly doubts whether those effects would actually be effective for Paimon.

A magician's battles are not solely based on destructive power; sometimes, the effects are far more powerful than mere destruction.

It is indeed feasible to reconstruct the previous grand magic in a short period of time, but the director is not sure how effective that magic would be for Paimon.

Since simple attacks aren't working, let's try this!

With the help of Shazam's power, the director had already begun to consider all sorts of bizarre magic tricks. At this moment, as the dust settled, Paimon remained calm as he looked at the director who had prepared the magic circle in front of him.

Those magic bullets had no effect on him. Looking at the director, he said in a wicked tone, "Human, you are now undoubtedly in dire straits."

Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? If so, use them all, or have you already given up resisting?

"That's right. Having witnessed the futile resistance, it's understandable that you didn't dare disobey my will, given my power as a demon god."

Upon hearing this, the director replied without wavering, "The outcome is still uncertain, so don't be too confident, Paimon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the director completed the final step of the spell, locking onto the target. In the illusion, Paimon, who was in the body of the Herrscher of the Void, showed an amused expression.

"You want to use me, Paimon, as a fusion material? This... is quite an innovative fighting method. Let me guess, the spell you're using now is probably a precursor to another great magic spell."

Let that eerie, star-like liquid you created devour me, transform me into its power, and then activate the second stage to unleash my attack, which is now one with that liquid and me.

That's quite a bold idea, but...aren't you underestimating the Demon God?

As soon as he finished speaking, countless voids opened up around Paimon. Facing Paimon, who had deduced everything about his magic, Director Paimon's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Oh no, I failed again.

I don't know how Mashu and the others are doing now, as long as they can buy some more time, that's fine. I am Olga Marie, the director of Chaldea!

Faced with Director Paimon's current predicament of certain death, he was prepared to use his last drop of blood to buy time, which was also his way of atoning for his sins against the world.

Chaldea's past? The sordid experiments Father conducted?

This kind of thing... this kind of thing should be borne by the dead themselves. Mashu, Fujimaru-san, and Romeni should just face the bright future.

Let me, who has taken on everything, atone for the inhumane tragedies in Chaldea with this life-or-death battle.

Recalling the virtues that the successor of Shazam's power should possess, the director, while controlling the liquid to surround Paimon, looked up at the sky. He couldn't remember who had said it, but kindness is weakness.

Unfortunately, I don't even have the right to be weak. The director of Chaldea... it must be so tiring.

Xia Qing looked completely bewildered as she faced the director, who seemed to have reverted to his NetEase Cloud Music-like state.

Chapter 672: Olga is dead, you chose her, Floros!

Facing the director who had once again entered a state of NetEase depression, Xia Qing, who was controlling Paimon's body, had no intention of holding back. With Sirin's power, it was better to forget about dealing with Shazam's power, which was a synthesis of seven planetary concepts.

In terms of pure attack, Xia Qing felt that if the director could really use all the power he directly created, the Spear of Subspace would probably never be able to break through the director's defense, no matter how long it went on.

"You might as well give up. You can't do anything right now. The existence of humanity is destined to be a mistake, and trying to stop this mistake from being cleared up will only lead to failure."

Your attacks are weak and ineffective in my eyes. Your intelligence is still using the slogan of "encountering each other in another world" from thousands of years ago instead of the latest "great heroes who serve their country and people". Your physique is a joke compared to the demon god.

Olga, you are nothing but an ant before me. Now is the time for you to perish along with human history.

...?

Looking at Paimon, the director seemed a little stunned, thinking, "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people?"

Seeing the director's puzzled tone, Paimon casually explained, "Since you're about to die, I'll tell you this secret."

After a bunch of nonsensical slogans like "meeting in another world" and "a song of loyalty," Lord Solomon chose a slogan that ordinary people would never think was used by a demon god to prove his identity.

The slogan was "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people," and "The darkest place is under the lamp" was precisely the reason behind Lord Solomon's slogan.

Upon hearing this explanation, the director, having completed the spellcasting once more, sneered: "I truly didn't expect that, but Paimon, you underestimated me too much. Now, let's try this!"

The battle between the two resumed, the starlight dispelling the darkness of the night. They fought all the way to the edge of Fuyuki, until their restraining power was completely worn away.

The suppressive force's influence in this timeline has probably been truly erased. During the battle with the director, Xia Qing sensed a force that seemed to be helping the director on the other side.
