That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

But that's not enough! This is far from sufficient!

What Hall needs is power that can completely overwhelm the Demon King Goetia.

It transcends humanity, surpasses the planet, and can extinguish all the heat accumulated by humanity over four thousand years of burning, bringing the throne of the higher-dimensional demon god under its control.

Hall instructed Tiamat: "Go, go and fulfill your return, whether it is to take revenge on humanity or to change the planet's ecology, enjoy the joy of returning to your identity as the Mother Goddess of Creation, and enjoy your last moments."

“Aaaa—a——aa!”

Tiamat responded with a song.

Before leaving, Hall turned and glanced at the distant city of Uruk, where Tiamat's mother's profile still maintained the protective barrier around the city.

"Hmm... we shouldn't have to worry about being destroyed by Tiamat before dealing with Gai."

Hall used the power of the contract to ask, "Lion King, is the Tower of the End nearing completion?"

A dazzling white light unfolded from Hall's side.

The Lion King stepped forward, holding the Holy Lance, and calmly reported: "Yes, as you instructed, ten Towers of the End have been set up in different regions of this planet."

"Let's begin," Hall said with a smile.

The Earth is round, and the tower at the end is the point. Use UO power to change the flow of the planet's ley line magic to form a specific trajectory.

呲味味~

In the distance, the immense magical power accumulated by the earth's veins forms pillars of light that soar into the sky, or perhaps cleaves through mountains and connects them across oceans.

At this moment, all life born on this planet could sense the strange changes.

"As expected, my forte and favorite art is still alchemy."

"And also, planetary transmutation."

······

The primeval forest fixed by power.

Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into the dense grass, but fortunately, her body-enhancing magic worked, and she was basically unharmed.

Before she could complain, she sensed subtle changes in the true etheric elements contained in the atmosphere.

"what?"

She looked around in surprise. All the plants seemed to have come to life, their vitality transforming into magic and gathering in a certain direction.

She had witnessed a similar scene before, when Kingu released his Noble Phantasm's true name.

······

Uruk remains in chaos.

The lingering power of the Demon King's Noble Phantasm burned everything except Uruk to the ground.

Inside the palace, King Gilgamesh sat on his throne and "saw" the changes on the planet.

"Magician Hall, I underestimated you."

"To reach the origin with a human body and become an existence above the mother, yet still not satisfied."

······

The Sea of ​​Origin.

Ishtar, piloting the Sky Bow Maana, cruised through the sky, squinting and muttering, "It's finally begun. What an audacious fellow."

······

It was filled with ten times the heat, consuming one percent of the heat stored in the light wheel.

Millions of rays converge, each possessing power comparable to the Noble Phantasm [Excalibur].

Demon King Goetia's third Noble Phantasm: [The time of birth has come; with this, all things will be restored]

The heat contained within could burn away even the brilliance of stars.

Now it is being launched with the intention of destroying the planet and all the humans living on it.

The Demon King Goetia noticed the white glow emanating from the planet's surface. It was the Tower of the End, a device used to fix the planet's rules.

Then, the planet began to operate in ways it could not comprehend and could not imagine.

Chapter 497 Giving the Arrogant the Right Despair

Solomon is the progenitor of magic, and the system of seventy-two demons is the origin of magic.

From the moment the conceptual foundation of magic was established, there has never been a technology in the world that can surpass its origin.

From then on, all magicians who inherited Solomon's wisdom were merely clumsy imitations of it.

Even if the Rings of Ten were missing one ring and thus not omnipotent, there would be no magic in the world capable of harming the Demon King Goetia in the slightest.

However, the Demon King Goetia noticed that the magic activated by using a planet as a carrier was fundamentally different from the wisdom passed down by King Solomon.

Unable to analyze concepts, unable to ascertain the underlying principles, and unable to understand the meaning.

It is not a difference in the way it operates, nor a difference in the underlying structure, but something more fundamental, established by rules completely different from those that constitute this universe.

This should have been impossible, but it was only when all the conditions were met—the support of the planetary consciousness, the spirit origin at the Hall celestial level, and even the Holy Lance that fixed the rules of the world—that it could barely function.

The Demon King Goetia had no time to ponder the meaning of this spell. The only thing he understood and sensed was that this spell, which used a planet as its vessel, was comparable to, or even surpassed, the spell that had burned away four thousand years of human history.

"The third Noble Phantasm has been unleashed, the power of the halo has been revealed, and the enemy that stands in the way of the great cause is right before our eyes."

Without any hesitation.

However, for the first time, the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon God System began to doubt whether it was omnipotent and superior to humans.

This is an emotion that no demon god has ever experienced before.

Even if they are killed.

Even if it is destroyed.

Even if it is parsed.

None of the seventy-two demon gods ever doubted themselves, because they were Goetia of the Human Incineration type and did not believe that there was any great achievement in this world that could surpass the Human Incineration.

They claimed to be omnipotent, yet before them appeared beings and wisdom beyond their comprehension.

This seemingly simple question, which is insignificant in the eyes of all humans, has become the root of the contradictions in the Seventy-Two Demon Gods System.

The question posed by Floros, one of the seventy-two demons, has once again become controversial: "Are humans truly worthless? Are humans truly without value? Was the birth of humankind a mistake?"

To destroy humanity, all resources are needed.

To forget human reason, one needs all of time.

Internal divisions are inevitable, but the great undertaking of burning away human reason continues.

So contradictory, so ridiculous.

"Destroy!"

The intertwined demon pillars formed a giant disc, drawing heat from the halo, and the boundless power and heat converged into a beam that was released.

A deep purple beam of light could be clearly seen falling from outer space.

The target is a planet. The heat, reaching the physical limit, will penetrate the surface, shatter the core, kill the planet, and ignite an inextinguishable flame on its surface.

On the throne of the Temple of Time, the Demon King Goetia saw that the planet was round, and the ten towers at the ends of the earth were connected to form an inner pentagon, thus forming a spell.

呲味~

The moment the transmutation array was established, it blocked the planet-destroying beam originating from the Temple of Time.

In the silent universe, two rules from different worlds, two energies powerful enough to destroy the world, collided and erupted into a blinding white light that enveloped half of the planet.

The sky in the northeastern hemisphere is even more dazzling than during the day. As the white light fades, more colorful brilliance creates a magnificent and dreamlike sky, and then all the light shines through the sky, covering the entire heavens.

Only from outer space can one see the true face of the celestial canopy, which is a gate with a diameter equal to that of a planet.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Before the throne, the Demon King Getia was shaken by the new emotions he felt and puzzled by the divergent answers from the Seventy-Two Demon Gods System.

The heat used to burn away the starlight, the energy that should have been used to reverse the flow of light, was unable to destroy the enemy.

The Demon King Goetia roared in anguish, pouring out all his pent-up frustration: "Stranger! Stranger! Stranger! Why do you stand before us? Why can't we even overcome this small obstacle? Our great deeds should have been carried out in silence! Humanity will be destroyed in peace!"

······

The world fell into a brief silence, like a dead planet losing all its starlight, and the planet's spiritual essence became the vessel for the gate.

The gate is constructed from the combined power of two major restraining forces and the Star Grail.

Upon hearing the voice of the Demon King Goetia, Hall seemed to be deep in thought, for the scene before him was all too familiar, except that Hall could not witness the end in that world.

Hall pushed open the door and uttered the only line he wanted to say: "To give the arrogant the right despair, so that they may no longer be arrogant and conceited, is the truth."

The beast of mercy is born of superiority.

They take it for granted that they are above humanity and that humanity is worthless.

The bestial nature that Goetia possesses is based on arrogance rooted in omnipotence.

Boom!

The Demon King Goetia heard the booming sound.

The door slowly opened.

The interior is a pitch-black world, even more silent than the imaginary space, a world where nothing exists.

It is precisely because there is nothing that the truth can be analyzed more clearly.

······

Chaldea has reconnected with the severed links, allowing them to observe the current state of the Seventh Singularity.

"Observation system restored!"

"Spiritual particle calculus restarted!"
