I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Judging from the truth about this statue that never ascended to the throne, as interpreted from the inscription, the name is perfectly suited to this inhuman man.

Although his personality is twisted and inhuman, he is an extremely pure person.

After all, this man's reasoning is called the Supreme Heaven of the Asura Path, and according to the Buddhist Six Paths standard, the Asura Path is indeed one of the three upper paths, and even higher than the Human Path.

It is only because they are overly obsessed with fighting and war that they are weaker than the Heavenly Dao. But from another perspective, the human realm, with its many karmic burdens, is much simpler.

Therefore, considering the sorrows, entanglements, and chaotic causes and effects that often occur in the human world, it is not surprising that the golden beast wants to turn the human world into a hellish realm of Asura.

Because Reinhardt was too naive, he hated the moral codes that people maintained in order to reconcile complex relationships.

Therefore, his wishes and his reasoning abandoned all useless fancy words and moral principles, and directly used a simple and clear way of life and death to determine the future.

Reinhardt had transcended the base pleasures of the human world, but he still had desires. However, none of the pleasures of the human world could satisfy him, so he could only seek them in the realm of the unreal.

Even when he was still a human being, he was self-aware and knew that his suppressed thoughts and behaviors were wrong when viewed through the lens of human reason and morality, so he sealed away his love.

Until he was interfered with by external factors, his bestial nature completely broke free from the shackles of his inner morality and manifested in the world of eternal reincarnation, wanting to destroy all things in this world.

He is simple and pure, that much is undeniable.

Moreover, this man's reason is destined not to ascend to the throne of God, because he is the manifestation of the destructive desires of the Lord of the Fourth Throne.

Once the Golden Beast kills the Mercury Serpent, the Golden Beast will also die.

This wasn't the first time Chaldea had encountered deities of such vile nature, but the Golden Beast was truly the first of its kind to be so malevolent.

The desire for the inhuman, its twisted logic, its vile origins, and various other conditions created the golden beast, this god of war.

"The self-destructive factor of God, the born god-killer, is so closely connected to the life and death of the master that it's no wonder this god cannot take the seat."

Even Zhuge Liang was astonished by such a divine being; the situation described in the inscription seemed to make sense to him.

As long as there are humans, the war will continue, just like the Asura God who fights endlessly at the edge of the cliff.

This man's situation is rather tragic, because his destiny dictates that he cannot ascend to the throne, and his reasoning is even less capable of forming the law of the new world.

Without the concept of death, there is no life; in this man's world, new life does not exist, and this is one of the flaws.

Secondly, there's the close connection between this man and the host's terrible, destructive desires; they were born to kill each other, and as a result, after killing the other, they themselves could not survive.

Therefore, given these two points, he absolutely cannot take the seat.

"The overlord who reigns above the graveyard and leads the dead in a dance, his love... is just like that of the Beasts."

Merlin shook his head helplessly, and this terrifying Asura God immediately reminded him of the beings in his native world who also possessed twisted love.

However, it truly lives up to its name; the other party's divine name is the Golden Beast. People would believe it if you called it a beast, but... this beast is just too powerful.

"However, this man's reasoning has elements of the Norse pantheon, but more of a Christian element. It would be normal for him to be considered a god, and his reasoning is more like an extension of the concept of Valhalla to the entire universe."

Gilgamesh greatly admired this golden god, who, in his eyes, was so pure that he could not judge this divine pillar by the concepts of good and bad.

On the fourth day of an already distorted cycle of eternal reincarnation, the birth of a god like the Goddess of Twilight is the greatest anomaly, while the birth of a god like the Golden Beast is the normal occurrence.

In an abnormal world, the abnormal is normal; conversely, normality is the most abnormal thing.

"The warriors of Northern Europe don't hate this world, and if they can't die..."

Brunhilde, the daughter of the Norse god Odin and a Valkyrie, looked at the statue and uttered words that were not objectionable, while her eyes flashed with an eerie light as she looked at Siegfried, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The warriors of the Nordic countries do not reject such a world, and most of them consider it paradise, a fact that Brunhilde, as a Valkyrie, is well aware of.

She is the destined partner of the great hero Sigurd, but her personality can be described as yandere.

This can be seen from her Noble Phantasm.

[Until death do us part (Brynhild Romantia)]

An anti-person Noble Phantasm, formed from the intertwined love and hate of the destined lover, transformed into a demonic silver spear once used in life.

The deeper the love one has for their enemy, the heavier and longer the spear will become; if it is for a beloved Sigurd, it will produce unparalleled effects.

Because it's the one I like the most, I ask them to die with me.

Therefore, she, who could be considered broken to begin with, resonated deeply with the destructive love of the Golden Beast.

Because as long as she doesn't die, she can continue to love, and in the end, there will be no tragic ending.

Thinking about it this way, Brunhilde really wanted to take her to Siegroot for a 'honeymoon' in such a world.

..........

The Golden Beast is no less special than its previous masters.

What intrigued everyone present the most was the identity of the self-destruct factor.

"The manifestation of suicidal impulses and despairing desires was depicted in previous murals, but not comprehensively..."

Ying Zheng looked at the Asura God before him with great interest. Although this man was not suited to sit on the throne—if he did, the world would turn into a hellish inferno—he was the god of war among gods of war. Therefore, he looked at Tsuchimikado Ryusui and asked softly:

"Could you enlighten me, young lady? It seems that this self-destruct factor is a trait possessed only by the Overlord God."

Everyone present was very interested in this.

Although the murals had previously described what the self-destruct factor was, it was only mentioned briefly.

By now, everyone has a general idea that this golden beast originated from the suicidal impulse of the Lord of the Fourth Throne.

"The Seeker God decides for himself whether it is good or bad. As long as you don't come into contact with it, it will not affect others or the outside world. Although it cannot cover the laws of the world, it is a moving singularity. It is both the sky and the universe itself, which is the size of a human body. Because it is constructed like a single-celled organism, it naturally does not produce self-destruction factors."

Tsuchimikado Ryusui did not refuse Ying Zheng's question. After organizing her memories of her past life, she slowly explained the characteristics of the self-destruction factor, saying:

"Self-destructive factors are a kind of self-destructive impulse, such as the impulse to jump off a tall building, or the impulse to cut one's hand when holding a knife."

"Whether it is a God of Seeking the Way or a God of Domination, they are immortal. The self-destruction factor is something that only Gods of Domination have. When a God of Domination has the idea of ​​self-destruction, humans will appear in the world they control because of this idea. Usually, the responsibility of these humans is to eliminate the God who governs the world."

"The self-destruction factor is closely related to the Overlord God. If the Overlord God dies, the self-destruction factor will also die. However, if the self-destruction factor dies, the Overlord God will not die. Therefore, as long as the host of the self-destruction factor survives, the self-destruction factor itself will never die until the host is destroyed, just like cancer cells in the human body, except that this is a cancer cell belonging to a god."

"When a self-destructive factor appears in the rule of a domineering god, then it can be basically determined that this god is entering old age in terms of mentality."

So that's how it is. The self-destruct factor is a self-destruct device created by a god who wants to commit suicide. Since the God of Seeking the Way is a near-single-celled organism, he would not have such a thing as a self-destruct factor. Therefore, this is a trait that only the Overlord God possesses.

After all, the other party wants to spread the principles formed by his wishes to the whole world, and the domineering god's own mindset has changed, so he can naturally do the great feat of changing the world with a single thought.

At that time, all things in the world will naturally follow the destructive desire of the domineering god and give birth to a born god-slayer whose destiny is to kill the host who gave birth to this self-destructive factor.

Seeing everyone present deep in thought, Tsuchimikado Ryūsui glanced at the golden statue and, recalling the situation of the Mercury Serpent, the master present on the fourth day, voiced his guess:

"It is reasonable to say that this man is the self-destructive factor of the Fourth Heavenly Lord. After all, the Fourth Heavenly Lord felt that his world had no unknowns and was a prison to him. So naturally, he would have the idea of ​​destroying such a closed world or committing suicide. Moreover, the Fourth Heavenly Lord fell in love with the Fifth Heavenly Lord. All these emotions mixed together and created the Golden Beast. For love, he wanted to destroy everything."

Therefore, he is the Mephistopheles (the light of taboo love).

This man is an evil light that, though charming, should be avoided and never loved, a war god who reigns above the graveyard and leads the dead in a dance.

After listening to Tsuchimikado Ryusui's analysis, and considering the situation of the fourth day's master, the circumstances and characteristics of both sides made everything connected.

The unknown, closed world wants to be destroyed, yet it also loves the Fifth Lord and yearns for the arrival of the unknown world.

This contradictory desire to die and to live gave birth to the contradictory god-child of destructive love, the golden beast Reinhard, a god-slayer born in response to the desire of his master, the Mercury Serpent.

Countless viewers, after figuring out Reinhardt's inhuman, contradictory desires and connecting with the Mercury Serpent, suddenly found everything clear.

【Little Lucky Grass King】: The Mercury Serpent has destructive and suicidal desires towards the unknown world and towards itself, which exists in the absence of an unknown world. These desires formed Reinhardt on the fourth day.

[The Bard]: It turns out that Reinhard had this other identity. Now that I think about it, it's surprising, but it also seems reasonable.

[Lei Movie]: Born from the destructive desires of the Mercury Serpent, the master of the fourth throne, the identity of this self-destructive factor was indeed unexpected.

[Bishop of Destiny]: But Ryusui's explanation is reasonable. The twisted and abnormal nature of Reinhardt can be explained by the Mercury Serpent.

【Cherries of Divine Favor】: This god's prestige is really high. He himself is immortal and indestructible, and when he wanted to commit suicide, there were even god-slayers born from his desire for self-destruction.

[Old Demon King]: However, because of this restriction of his identity, Reinhardt is destined not to be able to take a seat.

【Scumbag Fox】: The origin of the self-destruct factor has died, and the golden beast, being a self-destruct factor, will also die.

【Pure White Queen】: However, given the Mercury Serpent's abnormal immortality, even if Reinhardt can kill it, if the opponent is not satisfied, it will still be an eternal return to start over.

[Blue Ribbon Goddess]: Hmm... Thinking about it this way, it really is awful. Mercury Serpent really has a self-destruct factor that makes him impossible to die, because he probably doesn't accept being killed by Reinhardt.

【Pink Fairy】: Hmm... Now that I think about it, I feel that Miss Nanami's situation is somewhat similar to Reinhardt's.

[Shín no Yūsha]: ...Thinking about it this way, it does seem very similar. Could Nanami also be a self-destruct factor?

[Leader of the Seven Deadly Sins]: ...If Nanami is a self-destruct factor, then...whose self-destruct factor is she?

[The Sin of Gluttony - Marlene]: Isn't that simple? Who's closest to her and the best friend...? Hmm... I think I've figured it out.

[Emperor]: Is it a cancer cell in the mind of a god? There are so many domineering gods on the fourth day, there must be quite a few self-destructive factors.

...........

Countless viewers learned about the concept of self-destruct factor from the conversation between Skadi and Ren Fujii when the horror drama was still airing.

These are cancer cells belonging to the domineering gods, because they are immortal and will not die unless they are destroyed.

But there are always gods who have had enough of living. The Mercury Serpent is just an extremely special case. He is the embodiment of self-punishment. He has a self-destructive factor, and countless people will only feel that it is only natural based on his situation.

Those who were present to observe and listen to the real statues of the gods were hearing about the gods' illnesses for the first time.

It's not surprising that a god so powerful as to change the world at will could do this; they were simply curious about the strange relationship between the self-destruct factor and its host.

Because of this relationship, if the host doesn't die, the self-destructing factor won't die either, and if the self-destructing factor dies, the host will be completely fine.

So, are they hostile to each other?

It doesn't seem like that, since the self-destruct factor host itself has a desire to self-destruct, so what kind of feelings does it have towards its own self-destruct factor?

This point was also explained by Tsuchimikado Ryusui.

"I've heard Lord Nightwalker say that the relationship between the self-destruct factor and its host is usually very good. If they are of the same sex, they are best friends; if they are of the opposite sex, they are lovers, because they have an indescribable attraction to each other..."

"This seems even worse now!"

Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't help but directly complain, after all, mutual destruction is the final fate of the self-destruct factor and the host, but the self-destruct factor and the host are not in an antagonistic relationship.

The idea of ​​two people of the same sex being best friends and two people of the opposite sex being best lovers, only to end up dying together, seems even more despicable.

Hearing Tamamo-no-Mae's loud complaints, everyone present couldn't help but nod in agreement. If they were enemies, it wouldn't be a big deal if they died together, since they didn't have any good feelings or concern for each other.

But if they are close friends or lovers, and have concerns and worries about each other, and in the end they perish together, it seems like a particularly terrible situation.

"After all, it's God's cancer, so its nature is naturally not good."

Shana shrugged helplessly, indicating that it was normal for the self-destruct factor to be so vile. She then recounted what she had heard from Matilda in her past life, saying:

"Moreover, because it is a self-destructing factor of a god, the power of the self-destructing factor must be able to restrain that god. Moreover, in battle, it can unreasonably increase its power to the same level as the host, keeping it at a level where they can just perish together. The Mercury Serpent is able to be fearless of the self-destructing factor because it has returned to immortality through eternal eons. But if those factors are removed, the Golden Beast will definitely be able to drag it down with it."
