In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

Here.

The dense array of 'runes' instantly lit up on this terrifying entity made up of countless puppets, and they connected with each other.

Those were countless 'Heavy Demon Eyes' personally crafted by Aozaki Touko, artificial eyes that were extremely close to the original, replicated from her own demon eyes.

Those were countless runes.

A modern replica of the Rune from the Age of Gods, personally restored by Aozaki Touko!

Magic Eye Focus.

Runes, in motion.

"Your fate has already been decided by me!"

Lu Kang, who was standing still, also truly felt the invisible lock.

It comes from space, from the world, and even more so from the reversal of cause and effect.

this is.

"A rune that explains cause and effect?"

Originating from the mythological era, runes, according to ancient legends, originated from Odin, the supreme Norse god, who obtained the script that elucidated the primordial principles of the world after hanging himself upside down on the World Tree for seven days and seven nights.

Odin also possesses a gun that can lock onto fate, 'Gungnir'.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for runes to contain runes that reverse cause and effect.

Therefore,

It makes perfect sense that Aozaki Touko would use this as her final and ultimate 'trump card'.

Whatever she did next, Lu Kang was unable to dodge.

Because 'fruit' has been locked.

All she needed was to complete the 'cause'.

"I never imagined the legend was true."

"You actually managed to repair several primordial runes that had disappeared in the Age of Gods—Senior Aozaki Touko."

Aozaki Touko laid the foundation for her Grand rank by repairing the runes.

But that was only the basic twenty-four runes of runes, and did not include the original runes, which had been lost even in written form.

There are indeed rumors in the Clock Tower that Aozaki Touko has also repaired the original runes.

However, that was just a rumor before.

Only now has this been verified.

Able to reverse 'cause and effect'—

Only the original.

Lu Kang thought to himself that this level of killer move truly lived up to the title of Grand Magician.

He thought to himself that if even this level of mystery could be reproduced in modern times, given enough time, even without the Blood Ring of Principle, Aozaki Touko might still be able to create a grand magic trick comparable to that of a god, relying on her own mysterious skills.

Reaching the realm of the gods is already within the upper limit of the Grand Rank magician theory, which is a mysterious crystallization of an era and may not appear even once every hundred years. After all, in most eras, the Rank is actually the upper limit of the Mage's Association's hierarchy, the ladder where the 'monarchs' reside.

But Luca is not simply a crown position.

He's not the kind of traditional magician who falters in skirmishes and needs time to prepare.

"How can the power of cause and effect possibly rival the power of time?"

He understands all things with divine insight and verifies all things.

Lu Kang laughed to himself.

He met the gaze of the countless artificial magic eyes above him, showing no fear of their lock-on, and slowly spoke.

Orange had already experienced the sharp edge of Lu Kang's words.

She also made up her mind not to argue with him.

Just take action—and suddenly you realize...

My movements became extremely slow.

Slowly and stiffly, trying to make up for the cause that had already locked in the 'effect' seemed to become extremely difficult.

She discovered even more.

The world around us seems... to have changed?

"Cause and effect cannot compare to time, let alone to my single thought."

Lu Kang said, "It seems that this is what Senior Sister is afraid of."

At this moment, the sky is still the sky, the night is vast and the stars are dazzling.

The earth, however, is no longer the same as it used to be.

Instead, all that could be seen was desolation.

There are no cities, no rivers, not even mountains.

Yes, but they are just planetary surfaces that look like they're dead.

One glance for thousands of years.

A single thought can span millennia.

"Welcome to my 'propaganda'."

"At the same time, it is also a gap in your mental image—"

"The End of the Planet".

This is an inherent barrier.

A double-linked grand magic spell created by combining the 'spirit of God' with the 'thought of God'.

—Its name is, 【The Left Palace of Evil: Steel Earth】.

Within this area.

Order has vanished.

All cause and effect naturally disintegrate.

no longer exists.

Chapter 165 The world collapses; only those who underestimate magic can master it.

That is the future that humanity can see.

The age of gods vanished, the mystery faded, and the rules called 'physics' were solidified on the planet's surface. Human technology continued to develop on this basis, and energy was continuously consumed, but it could not break free from the planet's gravitational pull—ultimately resulting in the death of the planet and the withering of the world.

That is not just the end of the planet, but the end of all 'fantasy'—the demise of the restraining force named 'Gaia', which stems from the planet's own desire for survival.

It exists in contrast to 'Alaya,' another force that inhibits humanity's desire for its own survival.

The two are complementary yet also antagonistic.

Ultimately, they will also 'die' together.

This is the scene that Lu Kang is manifesting at this moment as the 'Evil Spirit Left Palace'.

It was a reflection of the existence before him, the true desire of that mysterious being called 'Ancestor' whose power had been stolen by Aozaki Touko.

Lin Anashu, who was once a 'True Ancestor', transformed into a jungle of flesh and blood after his death. For such a theoretically immortal being, there is nothing more terrifying than the end of that planet.

Although it is not a complete replica.

However, even simulating a similar scenario was enough to cause Lu Kang to instantly dismantle the 'cause and effect' that Lu Kang was locked onto.

This is still enough for him to launch a perfect counterattack against him once again!

"Thousands upon thousands of eyes."

"It's your 'locking' on me."

"Moreover, it is my 'reflection' of you!"

Standing atop the mirror formed from the remnants of starlight, Lu Kang spoke these words. He gazed at the mountain puppet, whose movements had slowed countless times, and at the 'magic eye' whose core burned and surged. In this short-lived apocalypse of the planet, all mysteries vanished without a trace—and only Lu Kang could reveal the secrets through his absolute 'triple cycle'.

Aozaki Touko's momentary hesitation was due to this.

Without the mysterious driving force, without the support of 'magic'—and without the earth ley line magic that had occupied and swallowed up Misaki City—there was no longer any.

This city is a behemoth of a scale.

It's true, it's no longer able to function smoothly.

"you..."

Orange was shocked, horrified, and even more terrified.

It's not just planetary fantasies that fear the end of the world.

The same goes for magicians!

"Well, it's time to end it."

Lu Kang didn't give him any more chances. He slowly raised his eyes and his hand, and huge shadows came from all directions, slowly gathering as his palm opened, as if he had grasped the whole world.

Although it is a reflection of other people's hearts, the source of this inherent boundary is still Lu Kang.

Although it is a reversal of someone else's 'mental image'.

However, the dominant position remains in Lu Kang's hands.

Yes.

He can do whatever he wants here.

With this ability, one can turn one's hand to make clouds or rain.

Even more so here.

Take it—

"Collapse!"

crumb!

This is its name.

"The world is collapsing!"

Boom!

Before Aozaki Touko could react, the boundless light and brightness instantly overwhelmed his mind.

It overwhelmed her soul.

It covered everything about her existence.

...

It disappears and then reappears.

Less than three minutes had passed within the unfolded 'intrinsic barrier'.

Outside the world egg that was not replaced or covered, a gentle evening breeze blew, and everything seemed to become incredibly quiet.

The monster made of stacked dolls in the sky disappeared.

The mirror-like surface formed by the starlight had also vanished.

Under the waning moonlight, only the dilapidated Kuonji Mansion remained, along with two girls standing back and forth on the open space in front of the mansion on the road.

Aozaki Aoko looked completely bewildered.

Her limited, albeit superficial, knowledge of mysticism was insufficient to support her judgment of the current situation—insufficient to provide a adequate understanding of the disappearances of Lu Kang and Aozaki Touko.

With her short, jet-black hair cascading down her shoulders, she had deep, dark eyes that stared blankly into the air in the direction where they had stood before they disappeared.

She knew it was the highest-level magic spell, 'World Luna,' which was created by piling up mental images and replacing and covering the world.

She also knew that they were actually still in the same place.
