That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

The Temple of Time was fixed in this world by Hall from the imaginary space outside of time, and given a substantial concept and form of existence.

Then they can interfere with each other.

Hall stood atop the surging black waves with a smile on his lips, gazing up at the sky. His demonic eyes pierced through the halo of light, ignoring the barriers of time and space, and saw the king seated on the jade throne.

The temple is spacious, without walls or domes, with tree root marble pillars standing tall, surrounded by earth woven from demon god pillars, and in the distance, an endless expanse of brother-obsessed land.

Above the steps is a circular jade throne, and beyond the throne lies a deep, dark black hole.

He maintained the image of Solomon, the Magic King, with a white robe and silver hair, his clothes decorated with a lot of red and light armor, his arms covered with magic markings, and all ten fingers adorned with rings.

The Ten Rings, each a crystallization of magical concepts and a manifestation of Solomon's wisdom, are meant to prove one's status as the progenitor of magic, capable of nullifying and controlling all magic in the world.

This proof of the Magic King's dominance was also the lifelong pursuit of Paracelsus von Hohenheim.

The Demon King Solomon possesses nine rings, with the remaining ring in the hands of Dr. Roman, whose true nature is unknown even to the Demon King Goetia.

Demon King Goetia stood before the throne, his face cold and stern. His golden eyes gazed into the distance, as if watching something, giving the impression that the other party was watching him.

Behind him, there were also red and black demonic pillar-shaped energy bodies writhing.

It was filled with inhuman alienity and coldness; even though it had a human form, it was more terrifying than any monster.

This is the Demon King Goetia. What Hall saw was his "mirror" attribute. The Demon King Goetia has no humanity; the humanity he displays is the humanity of humans who are opposed to him.

So when Hall felt excited, the Demon King Goetia also grinned and revealed a sinister smile.

Hall gazed at the Demon King Goetia with his magic eye, and the Demon King Goetia also used his clairvoyance to see this fact from the future.

The Demon King Goetia burst into laughter, then declared in a cold voice, "Haha ...

"How delightful..."

"Stranger, the opportunity has been given to you. Come, stand before my temple and make your pointless struggle."

······

Hall "heard" the arrogant declaration of the Demon King Goetia, frowned slightly, and a terrible curse flame erupted from the Demon Eye, instantly engulfing Hall's body. He was burned away before he could even scream.

"That's to be expected, since just saying his name would bring a curse."

Hall emerged unharmed from the sea of ​​life's origin, muttering to himself without any surprise.

The moment the Demon Eyes saw the Demon King Goetia, Hall's spirit origin was burned away by the Demon King Goetia's curse.

However, as long as the Black Sea remains dry, Hall has no chance of dying. No matter how many times he is killed, Hall can be resurrected using the power of the Sea of ​​Origin of Life.

When Hall looked up at the black hole in the sky again, another change occurred.

Dozens of demonic pillars extending from the black hole emitted a hazy red light, and a powerful primal curse manifested as a torrent of flames, the scale of which could not be compared to the sum of all the waterfalls in the world.

The sky turned crimson, and the chaotic flames burned away all matter, rules, and the true etheric element that permeated this era.

The application of the fifth law.

Hall's expression turned solemn as his Demon Eyes analyzed the true nature of the curse on these Demon God Pillars.

Hall didn't know the specifics. Even if he obtained a spirit origin that surpassed the Beast of Original Sin, Hall's magical abilities would never be able to surpass the Magic King Solomon and the Demon King Goetia who inherited all of this.

After Solomon, the King of Magic and the father of magic, established the concept of magic, the wisdom known as magic continued to decline.

"Using the Fifth Law as a greeting, as the opening ceremony of a battle between two human evils, is not shameful."

In the midst of conversation, Hall created the "Spirit of the Universe," which manifested as a sphere reflecting the starry sky, floating in front of Hall.

The Sixth Singularity utilizes the spirit origin of the apex-level Divine Beast, [Starry Sky Sphinxmon], to create the Ultimate Mystic Code. In essence, it is a Mystic Temple similar to [Temple of Time].

The true [Spirit of the Universe] was destroyed along with the Holy Sword in the Sixth Singularity. This [Spirit of the Universe] was an upgraded version created based on the Sea of ​​Origin of Life. Moreover, Hall now possesses a higher dimensional scale of existence and infinite magic power, allowing him to unleash its power to the fullest extent.

This "Spirit of the Universe" is the control center of a cosmic ark called Tiamat.

"Go."

Hall made a fist with his right hand, and the Spirit of the Universe appeared beneath the pouring cursed fire, its size suddenly expanding.

hum!

The burning sky formed a massive vortex centered on the spirit of the universe, tearing apart the rules of the world together with the halo of light.

Shashasha~

Space and time were completely shattered, and thousands upon thousands of pale purple lightning bolts wandered aimlessly.

The rules established by the planet become extremely fragile between these two forces, and are destroyed, only to be replaced by new rules, in a never-ending cycle.

Chapter 487 Comprehension

Inside the palace of Uruk, all was silent. The Servants followed Fujimaru Ritsuka in an attempt to stop Tiamat, the Mother Goddess of Creation, while the guards were also sent to support the southern city wall.

Only King Gilgamesh and Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, remain in the Uruk Palace. The former maintains the protective barrier around the city of Uruk and the deployment of the King's Cannon, while the latter maintains the stability of the mist barrier, isolating it from the erosion of Tiamat's special powers from outside the mist.

Ereshkigal stood on the highest floor of the palace, gripping his spear tightly, gazing anxiously into the distance.

"It's not just the return of the mother; there's an even more powerful being interfering with the balance of this world... no, it's destroying this planet."

"What will happen next...?"

"No matter what, I will not back down. Protecting humanity, and protecting humanity from death, is also the responsibility of the Lord of the Underworld!"

Even though she was betrayed by the one she loved most, and even though she faced an almost insurmountable predicament, the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, did not intend to back down. That was just the type of person she was. She might act like an immature girl in love, but she understood the weight of responsibility better than anyone else.

She could clearly sense the erosion coming from the outside of the barrier gradually weakening, and the aura emanating from her mother Tiamat was being covered by an even stronger and more terrifying aura.

The owner of the aura should be Solomon, the Magic King mentioned by Fujimaru Ritsuka, the culprit who burned humanity.

Karma that humanity can never overcome, a terror without reason.

She once wanted to bring all humanity under the control of the underworld, with the aim of making humanity accept the fate of being burned, and then blaming all the sins on her, the goddess of the underworld.

She has always walked this path, and that is why the underworld exists.

Humans cannot face the terrors they cannot comprehend, and death is the most primal and profound fear.

Humans cannot accept their own death, nor can they bear the departure of family and friends, so they blame all their confusion and fear on God.

The underworld was born from this primal fear and belief.

Ereshkigal has always believed that this is the natural behavior of humans, and that humans possess intellect that exceeds their abilities.

It wasn't until Hall's appearance changed her mind, and later Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her beliefs, that she finally chose to stand with humanity and help them overcome their difficulties.

However, none of these things were as intense as the terror she felt standing here now.

Not only humans, but even she, the goddess who controls death, fears the being who burns away human reason.

Humanity ended the Age of Gods, while the Magic King Solomon ended the Age of Humanity.

"The planet is dying, what are the two powerful forces reacting...?"

Ereshkigal's face was filled with confusion.

"Can't you see it?" King Gilgamesh came to Ereshkigal's side, his gaze also fixed on the distant place shrouded in chaos.

“Golden King, speak your mind.” Ereshkigal replied seriously. She was certain that King Gilgamesh was hiding something from her. She was very unhappy that a human king was keeping her out of the loop.

King Gilgamesh snorted: "Hmph, goddess of the underworld, haven't you corrected your short-sightedness yet? The jokes you made before are enough to make me laugh for three days and three nights."

“Now I know why she hates you so much,” Ereshkigal said coldly.

King Gilgamesh, with his arms crossed, calmly recounted: "Having witnessed the ugliness and insignificance of mankind, and knowing the limits of humanity, he was driven by despair and pride. This was both the source of his rationality and his bestiality."

"Therefore, by burning away human reason and accomplishing their own business, long before the magicians at the observatory began their work, humanity had already been burned clean and lost all possibilities."

Ereshkigal cast a questioning look at him: "If humanity is destined to perish, why are you doing so much useless work?"

King Gilgamesh scoffed, “Hmph, that’s because I despise his actions. There’s a limit to short-sightedness, but even if he doesn’t possess true wisdom, his foolishness and the achievements he’s made are enough to earn my approval.”

"So you mean you can't do anything about that king?"

King Gilgamesh snorted coldly, without denying it: "You still don't understand. As long as it is a creation of mankind, no matter what kind of weapon or intelligence it is, neither mankind itself nor Heroic Spirits, which are subordinates born based on human reason, can cause him any trouble. This is also the reason why the magician Hall summoned his mother to this world."

Gilgamesh's treasury contains the original texts of all human wisdom, compressed to an infinite degree. Whether it's Noble Phantasms targeting the weaknesses of Servants or products of human technology, anything that is within human cognition belongs to him.

Because only he can become the pinnacle of Heroic Spirits.

However, Solomon, the magician who burned away human reason and denied human history, possessed the power to conceptually deny all existences born from human reason.

Just as mystery fails before a higher mystery, modern technology is unable to harm Servants, and Gilgamesh's treasure trove, which he was so proud of, is ineffective against the beast of original sin that burns away humanity.

Upon hearing Hall's name, Ereshkigal's expression changed visibly. Biting her thin lips in thought, she finally grasped the truth from King Gilgamesh's hint and exclaimed in surprise, "He wants to use his mother's power to fight against that Magic King!?"

This way, everything becomes clear and Hall's actions can be understood.

Ereshkigal felt such a heavy burden on his heart that he felt an urge to cry.

My initially heavy mood inexplicably turned into a sense of peace, enveloped by a gentle warmth.

She called Hall's name repeatedly in her heart, her face flushed with excitement like a red apple. All the words she wanted to say were condensed into a single, soft exclamation: "That's wonderful..."

King Gilgamesh shook his head: "You still don't understand. If it were that simple, I wouldn't have let things develop to this point."

"Then what exactly happened?" Ereshkigal asked urgently.

"Humph."

King Gilgamesh, maintaining his usual arrogant demeanor, snorted.

Ereshkigal listened intently, initially thinking he was being mysterious.

King Gilgamesh glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "I don't know, and it's not something we need to worry about."

Ereshkigal: "..."

The only thing King Gilgamesh was clear about was that the power of Tiamat, the mother goddess of creation, could not possibly defeat Solomon, the magic king who burned away human reason.

Even if the entire ecosystem of this planet were transformed by the original paradise, and the seawater of the five oceans were all dyed black.

King Gilgamesh looked up at the distant sky, his gaze penetrating the void beyond the colorless mist. His all-seeing eye saw all the rules and energies being torn apart by two terrifying forces, turning into chaotic nothingness.

"Sealing the Ea was the right decision. Even at its maximum output, the damage it causes is less than one percent of what it does now."

"Magician Hall, how do you plan to defeat that king?"

"You should know this very well. Even if you achieve conceptual equality by using your mother's body, as long as the band of light covering the sky doesn't dissipate, that king is an invincible being."
