At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

She's just an ordinary human, not a goddess, so she wouldn't be jealous. If she were a goddess, especially Ishtar, then she would really be jealous.

"Hehe~" Luo Sheng smiled slightly. Ai Lei really knows how to be jealous. That's right. Although Ai Lei is 70% Goddess personality, she is also 30% Rin Tohsaka personality. Rin Tohsaka is always jealous. She is famous for being the jealous queen of Type-Moon.

"Let's go, let's go see that guy Goetia one last time, he's changed quite a bit too."

Goetia had all his powers sealed away and turned into an ordinary person.

They are ordinary people in the truest sense. They get hungry if they don't eat, they get thirsty if they don't drink water, they bleed profusely when they are injured, and they suffer unbearable pain when they are sick.

When Goetia was first sent to this world, he fainted from hunger on the street and was helped by kind people who helped him find a job and a place to rent.

He was able to live a normal life with the help of many people. In order to avoid discrimination, he was given the appearance of a mid-stage Awakener.

First-tier transcendents are called 'Awakeners', which are divided into the initial stage of 'generating willpower', the middle stage of 'turbulent state', and the later stage of 'ability awakening'.

Goetia lived in the human world for sixty years as an ordinary person.

Since he is an ordinary person, he will naturally grow old. He currently looks like an eighty-year-old man and is enjoying his peaceful old age.

That's right, he got married and had children.

At this time, in Milan, Italy.

This world is very different from the main world of Milan. Although it still has a near-future art style, its technology is at least two versions behind.

Milan in the main world developed rapidly not only due to the technological explosion of the Xia Kingdom, but also thanks to Nero.

In this parallel world, the ancient buildings have long since disappeared due to a great flood. The current buildings are all newly constructed in the last few decades, and the hover tracks of flying cars are densely packed between skyscrapers throughout the city.

The city's ground is covered with vegetation, and the natural ecology and high-tech buildings are intertwined to form an ecological city.

In the outer city of Milan, on the ground floor of a residential building, plants specially cultivated for urban greening are scattered throughout the neighborhood. An elderly man with completely white hair sits on a chair in front of the balcony, watching children playing electronic tennis in the residents' fitness area.

"Sixty years have passed. That's a human lifespan."

As Goetia watched the lively children playing with boundless energy, her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

In his fifth year in this world, he had already vaguely understood something, knew what God wanted him to know, but he was confused, confused about his past self, confused about the future, and confused about the present.

I experienced hunger for the first time, felt incomprehensible emotions when someone helped me for the first time, and was overwhelmed by the help I received from others.

My first job, the first time I was scolded for not doing my job well. I felt indignant and resentful after being scolded, and I felt disappointed. When I was alone, my colleagues came up to comfort me and talked about their work experience.

It wasn't until he was loved by his deceased wife that he truly understood what love was like.

He was taken care of so meticulously by his wife that she would get angry because of his carelessness.

It wasn't until she became pregnant, and he was overwhelmed with taking care of her, that he realized, after the two children were born, that being a father for the first time meant feeling proud, but also worried, and struggling to raise his children.

Finally, two years ago, she held his hand on her hospital bed and closed her eyes reluctantly. His heart ached terribly, a pain so intense it was hard to breathe. This was loss, this was separation.

Goetia sighed, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the framed photo of the two of them on the wall, her smile still lively.

"Lord, I understand, I truly understand everything. This is everything I never knew but always wanted to know, everything I never understood but always wanted to understand."

"Human beings, emotions, are how they should be, how they should be."

Even now, I still have pity for humanity, and I also have pity for myself.

Tears streamed down Goetia's aged face.

"Father, I've left your lunch in the thermos. I have a meeting at the company at noon, so I won't be back. Contact me if you need anything." A man in his forties walked over and said, but he was stunned when he saw his father crying. He noticed a photo in his father's eyes, a photo of his mother and father taken ten years ago.

"Are you thinking about your mother again? We are too, but there's no need to be sad."

"Mother is definitely watching over us from the underworld."

“Yes, Dad, if you’re happy, Mother will surely be happy in the underworld too,” another middle-aged man, around forty years old, said with a smile as he walked over.

"My brother and I worked hard to become fourth-tier superhumans so that we could use 'teleportation anchors' so that we could return to you as quickly as possible, no matter where we were."

"Yes, it's a pity that my rascal is studying at university in Rome, otherwise, our whole family could be by your side."

"Yes, you are all good, I am happy for you." Goetia wiped away the tears on her face and said kindly, "As for me, I am not very successful. I have never even reached the second level in my life, and I have caused you and your mother to suffer a lot of cold looks."

"Don't say that, Father. No matter what, as long as others know that the son you taught is a fourth-level transcendent, that's enough. Without you, there would be no us."

“Guess, Gate, stop saying these things to cheer me up.” Getia shook her head: “My time is almost up, probably in the next few days.”

"..." The two fell silent. As fourth-tier superhumans, they didn't know their father's condition, so they had been staying by his side for the past year.

"Don't cry, hold back your tears. Cry when I go to the underworld, since I won't be able to see you then," Goetia said.

He is just an ordinary person now; the sealed power is in his soul, and he will go to the underworld after death.

"Anyway, it won't be today. Let's go to work."

"Then you must take care of your health."

Two middle-aged people left with tears in their eyes. Their father was gone, and they truly had no elders left.

"Ah, the life of a human being," Goetia sighed.

Once known as the 'Beast of Compassion,' he thought he had seen through everything about humanity and civilization, but in the end, he was just an observer.

Only when you truly delve into the situation do you realize how pathetic you were.

“Merciful beast, Goetia, wretched beast.”

Is it truly pathetic, Goetia?

A familiar voice rang in Goetia's ears, instantly stopping his lament. He abruptly sat up from the recliner, his hunched body preventing him from straightening his back.

His hunched back was a result of working tirelessly to save money so that his children could have a wider world to explore.

In fact, social welfare is very comprehensive and can guarantee everyone's happiness, but he wanted more for his children, so this is the consequence of his own actions.

His wife couldn't argue with him, so in the end she could only let him be and silently stayed by his side.

This is the voice of the Lord; the Lord has come!

Luo Sheng looked at the old man, whose body was hunched over, whose hair was white, and whose skin was dull, and who looked like he was about to die.

"Goetia, even now, do you really think you're pathetic?"

Do you find the life I've given you pathetic?

Chapter 268: The Star Destroyer Legion is About to Arrive in the Solar System, and All Humanity Prepares for War

No, my Lord.

Goetia knelt on one knee, tears streaming down her face, splashing onto the floor.

"I do not find the life you have given me pathetic."

"I once existed only as a spell, never becoming human, never entering the human world, and could never understand it."

“I was pathetic before, existing only as a spell, but now I have a ‘self’, and I understand who ‘I’ really am and exist in the world for ‘my’ sake.”

"I am endlessly grateful for your mercy and grace."

As the embodiment of Solomon's seventy-two highest summoning spells, Goetia was God's most devout and loyal believer. He felt that he had truly gained something called 'self' at this moment.

“It’s good that you understand what I have truly given you.” Los Saint smiled and nodded. “Then, Goetia, what do you intend to do now that you understand yourself? Will you go to heaven, or sit in hell, or guide people on earth?”

Human evil is human love, only this love is a bit distorted. But as long as the distortion is corrected, then every instance of human evil is a human guardian with great potential.

“Hell.” Goetia said without hesitation, “I am evil for humanity, and even now I still have pity for humanity. I pity those who were not destined for darkness, but were dragged into the abyss of suffering by unforeseen accidents.”

"I am a beast of mercy, and I should become a demon king of mercy."

"I implore my Lord to grant permission."

The world needs compassion, compassion for those who are capable of climbing out of the abyss but are helpless due to external forces. Even today, there are still many such people.

Perhaps their hearts are not so pure and they are easily swayed, but at least we should not stand idly by and watch them fall into depravity.

He was a first-order extraordinary being, a mediocre person at the bottom of society, but even mediocre people deserve their own lives. He didn't ask to climb up the social ladder, but just to have a stable life of his own was enough.

“Pity, oh pity, well, pity is not wrong, but excessive pity is extremely evil.” Los Saint nodded.

"Thank you for your mercy on the Beast of Sorrow, my lord." Goetia slowly closed his eyes. His frail body ceased all life activities, his breathing stopped, his body temperature slowly dropped, and his face was filled with a smile.

hum~

The seal on Goetia was broken, and his true form silently left this parallel world and went to Hell. What remained here was only his human body, the shell of his ordinary life over the past few decades.

His death date is today, but he lied to his children; there was a pre-written letter in his pocket.

His two children did not inherit any of his power; they were just ordinary people, but they still carried the blood of an ordinary person named Goetia.

His bloodline will help future generations more easily understand what 'good and evil' and 'compassion' are; this is the only gift he can give to his children.

God's order has long been written into the world's plan, and He will not defy it, but He can appropriately let future generations understand some spiritual things.

As for his wife who passed away two years ago, he knew that she had been reincarnated a year ago when the seal was broken. As for finding his reincarnated wife to continue their relationship.

There's no need for that; after reincarnation, she'll be a completely different person, but he'll offer her some small help in her reincarnation.

“Human love, oh human love,” Los Saint smiled.

"The Seven Hells will also need to be expanded."

However, given Goetia's abilities, there was no need for him, as God, to concern himself with the expansion of Hell; Goetia could handle it on his own.

After all, Goetia was a 'medium-level powerful god-king'. Once you entered his system, you would have the ability to expand the hell by one level, creating the eighth level of hell, the 'Hell of Mercy', outside of the seven levels of hell.

Centered around the Seven Hells, each new demon king born in Hell is allowed to create a new layer of Hell.

Of course, the scale of hell created by the newborn demon king could not possibly be as large as the seven layers of hell.

After that, each new "extraordinary demon king" went to the seven hells to build his own territory.

Each of the seven layers of hell is a super-large plane several times larger than Earth. These 'hells' created by the Demon King later become smaller planes attached to the 'seven layers of hell'.

If a mid-level God-King like Goetia were to create a plane on his own, it wouldn't be smaller than the Seven Hells.

The 'minor planes' created by the newly ascended Demon King are roughly the size of a province in the Xia Kingdom. These minor planes will grow as the Demon King's rank increases; when they grow to the level of a main god, the Hell of the Demon King will grow to the size of a continent.

As more demon kings emerge, countless smaller planes will attach themselves to the periphery of the Seven Hells, forming a crystal wall system of hell. Perhaps when a demon king of the 'Lord of Law' rank appears, hell will truly become a 'crystal wall system microcosm'.

The underworld is already showing this trend; its scale is much larger than hell, and the extent of its dimensional barriers has already exceeded that of the Jupiter system.

Jupiter is known as a 'small star system'.

Once Ereshkigal advances to the 'Lord of Law' rank, the Underworld will gradually transform into the 'Underworld Crystal Wall Microcosm' under the power of 'Law'.
