That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Further back on the battlefield, Ishtar, the heroine of the heavens, extended her right hand as if it were a pistol. Beside her, the Heavenly Bow Maana fired golden beams to harass the demon pillars. She chuckled to herself, "I don't really need to show up. I can easily make a lot of money and even gain some good impression points. Hmm! Only this kind of work is worthy of my status."

······

As demonic pillars died, new ones took root from the darkness of the sky and filled the void on earth.

The dark seawater surged back, and the spirits born from the Sea of ​​Origin of Life greedily devoured the spirit base of the Demon God Pillar, integrating the base attributes of the Seventy-Two Demon God System into the Paradise.

"It's just a futile struggle, how pathetic."

Hall stood aside, observing coldly. His demonic eyes gazed at the band of light in the sky, granting the Lion King and the others god-level spirit origins and providing them with infinite magical power. In terms of quality, it completely and one-sidedly crushed the Demon God Pillars.

In terms of sheer scale and existence, Tiamat, as the creator goddess, undoubtedly surpasses the demon king Goetia.

As a Beast-class monster, Demon King Goetia's only advantage over Tiamat is its large halo.

Now, the cumulative deaths of the Demon Pillars are enough to cause the collapse of the Seventy-Two Demon System, affecting Demon King Goetia's plan to activate the Great Light Wheel.

Chapter 491 Before the Jade Throne

The Temple of Time features a flawless white jade throne, beneath which are crisscrossing, twisted demonic pillars that seem to undulate as if they were breathing.

The destroyed demons were reborn. Their eyes trembled incessantly. They tasted defeats they had never tasted before and experienced death they had never experienced before. The unknown fears they had never understood had accumulated to a greater and greater degree. They even had the idea of ​​not wanting to leave the throne.

The demon god Harpas reported this fear to the system demon king Goetia, who governs the seventy-two demon gods: "My king, we demon gods have been defeated. Such a humiliating defeat was not in our plans."

The demon Spornak: "If this continues, the throne will fall, and the king's plans will be affected."

"Our wishes must not be wrong in the slightest, and the new design must not be distorted in the slightest."

Demon God Nabelius: "My king, please issue the order. Please grant permission to use the third Noble Phantasm."

"Burn away all humanity in this world, and all that stands in our way of planning."

On a throne, the demon king Goetia, who maintained the appearance of Solomon, smiled gently and peacefully: "Why the rush? It's just a deviation within the calculations. Why make such a fuss? Are you even one of the seventy-two demons?"

Glug~ Glug~

The demonic pillars that make up the Temple of Time writhed restlessly. "My king, my king, our opponents are no longer human. The threat comes from life, from the origin, a realm that even we cannot contend with."

Demon King Goetia's smile faded, his expression turning calm and indifferent: "The order is reversed. As long as he is alive, the threat will not be eliminated."

The demon god Harpas argued unwillingly, "But if this continues, our existence will inevitably collapse, and the collapse of the periphery will affect the king's work."

Demon King Goetia remained indifferent: "It doesn't matter. As long as I exist, even if you demons cannot accept death and perish, new pillars will be born. You are just tools that can be consumed. In order to find out his true purpose and to show his superiority, if he still cannot understand, he will still have to come to the throne."

The Demon King grinned, revealing his ugly and twisted true form: "At that time, I will personally use the third Noble Phantasm to burn down the final obstacle to the plan, burning down the humans of this world along with the paradise of the Mother of Origin."

"..."

The Demon Pillars remained silent. As the outermost layer of the Demon System, they could not defy Goetia, nor could they understand Goetia's thoughts. They, who should have been one, were filled with doubt.

"We obey."

The demons departed.

The Demon King Goetia stood quietly, looking down at the earth from his throne, a joyful smile on his face.

Demon Pillars continue to die, the pain of death transmitting from the system's extremities to its body, a perplexing and bewildering experience as always.

I have witnessed much destruction, much folly, and much despair.

Even if Solomon felt nothing, they could not bear it.

Once, they asked Solomon, the intelligent being who created them: "Don't you feel anything? You have the ability to change all of this, yet you don't intend to correct their (humanity's) mistakes?"

Solomon replied, “The king’s duty is simply to govern mankind, which is human nature.”

They cannot tolerate his words, cannot tolerate his reasoning, so what were they created for? Human beings are inherently flawed, so what is the point of their existence if they were created to correct this flaw?

They believe that everything stems from the mistake of the intelligent individual who created them.

He possesses everything, yet despises everything.

Knowing everything, yet indulging in folly.

Weaving wisdom, yet stagnating.

This contradiction is illogical and meaningless.

Even so, they did nothing until Solomon abandoned them; they simply watched these errors and distortions unfold.

Despite its many irrationalities, the contradictory intellectual being Solomon created them, and is the only being who stands alongside them.

After they were abandoned beside Solomon's body, they understood, they discussed, they made a decision.

Saying goodbye to everything.

Only by starting over can we eradicate our mistakes.

Before history came into being, before ecology stabilized, before the origin of life, and even earlier, before time and space were in chaos.

Starting from nothing.

Rewrite Genesis, eradicate all errors, and establish a planet without the concept of death.

Human reasoning was formally transformed into the Human Reasoning Burning Style Getia.

Then the plan proceeded to its final step: burning away humanity and officially activating the third Noble Phantasm—the time of its birth has come, to correct all things (Ars Almadel Salomonis).

Having lost interest in humanity, Goetia discovers a paradoxical intellectual individual—the magician Hall—who is the complete opposite of Solomon.

When its all-seeing eye spotted Hall, the system known as the Seventy-Two Demon Gods trembled uncontrollably, unable to comprehend yet able to feel an emotion called fear.

They marveled that this magician in human skin was of a higher position than themselves, threatening all existence, and that even the slightest leak of his aura could shake the very foundations of existence.

If they are humanity's natural enemies, they see the end of the world in Hall.

Unlike Solomon, Hall, who possesses this terrifying power, is happy to use it to change everything, end all injustice, and correct the distortions he sees.

Just like an ordinary human being, even when trying to stop a plan to burn down humanity.

Therefore, Goetia never interfered with Hall's actions; she merely observed, watched, and confirmed that the research subject was completely different from that of Solomon, the intellectual individual who created them.

From the emergence of singularity F, the interference of the sixth singularity, the proof of the seventh singularity, the answer of the sixth singularity, and the decision of the seventh singularity.

Goetia sought answers from Hall that it had not found in Solomon, and indeed it gained some.

Goetia must have understood the superiority of their plan to burn human reason and reach the truth before Hall even arrived at the throne.

However, Goetia now sensed something unusual about Hall.

Everything was going too smoothly, everything was too natural, and all of this showed signs of slipping out of their planned control.

Although it was beyond their control, this was also within Goetia's calculations.

Unleashing the third Noble Phantasm to return to more than four billion years ago, a being of a higher position who stands on the side of humanity may be able to answer the questions it did not receive from Solomon.

Moreover, Goetia wanted to know Hall's purpose.

Having obtained the spirit origin of Tiamat, the Mother of Origins, it corrupted Solomon's magical foundation and created a new throne.

Even so, Goetia had to admit that this was a feat worthy of its own planning.

But Goetia believes that this is only the beginning.

Just as it burned away humanity to complete its plan, everything at present is a process for Hall to achieve a certain goal.

what's the result?

Chapter 492 On the Jade Throne

The size of the Demon Pillar was continuously weakened, and the spell that interfered with the detection of the Throne Spirit Particle coordinates was also cut off.

The Temple of Time is fixed in this world, its doors leading to the throne open, quietly awaiting guests.

There's no reason not to go.

"I always feel reluctant to part at times like this."

Hall was both laughing and crying, talking to himself. The end of this journey was just ahead. He felt neither hardship nor much excitement. Traveling to different worlds had worn away most of his enthusiasm, leaving only a bland curiosity.

It's like a research project, completed just for the sake of completing it, and ended just for the sake of ending it.

Hall left the Lion King and the others behind to continue fighting the demonic pillars that were eroding the world. The Demon Eye discerned the spiritual coordinates of the throne in the Temple of Time, and a magic circle unfolded on the spot, opening a teleportation channel to the throne.

A silvery-white gate of flames ignited, its interior a passage overflowing with heterogeneous energy. Countless pomegranate-shaped, bizarre eyes flickered and trembled, gazing out of the passage.

It is both the door to the throne and an alternate dimension inside the Demon God Pillar. Only those who can withstand the gaze of the Demon God are qualified to step onto the throne.

Hall understood.

Is it a test? Or an obstacle?

No, this is the highest level of welcome given by Goetia, the ruler of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods system, to demonstrate the wisdom of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods system and to understand the superiority of its plan.

Not only Hall, but any Heroic Spirit who enters it will understand the purpose of the Demon King Goetia burning human reason.

"It's like a child showing off their toys."

Hall stepped silently into the fiery portal, his vision obscured by white light, so much so that even his magic eyes could not see what was happening before him.

The stinging and burning sensation stimulated Hall's mind, and his body was burned away under the gaze of the demon god, transforming into a spiritual form.

Before the Demon Pillar could make a move, Hall's cross-shaped eyes reflected the graceful figure of Tiamat, the Mother Goddess of Creation, and a melodious song began to play.

“Aaaaaaa-aa---a!”

All the eyes of the demons were instantly shattered by the power originating from the Mother Goddess of Creation, and unwillingly disappeared into the other dimension.

When his vision returned, Hall found himself standing before a throne woven from demonic pillars.

Looking around, the world was shrouded in a dim silence. The earth was woven from vine-like demonic pillars, which entwined the ruins of the temple. Even the pure white jade throne in the distance was covered, giving it a sacred and majestic yet desecrated feel.

The moment Hall arrived here, he could sense that this was not a human-owned territory.

In the distance lies a vast, lightless cosmos, and what dominates this world and possesses an absolute presence is the halo of light behind the throne, resembling a black hole.

The Temple of Time is collapsing, and the temple's ruins and the Demon God Pillars are being sucked into it.

Hall immediately understood that when the Temple of Time completely fell into that dark halo, the Demon King Goetia's third Noble Phantasm would be completed, becoming the hypothetical first Noble Phantasm.
