I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

He despaired because he had made everything known in countless eternal cycles of rebirth.

Therefore, he made a pact with his other half, the self-destructing factor Reinhard Heydrich, to "see the unknown," and together they founded the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance—what a joke!!!

The real truth is that, long ago, at some unknown time and place, in some unknown world...

The Mercury Serpent encountered a girl who would forever remain on the beach at dusk—the later Lord of the Fifth Throne, the Goddess of Twilight, Margaret.

The girl who was born at the "Flowing Out" level is a girl whose talent is astonishing.

If the soul of an ordinary person is a flame, then Margaret's soul is the sun.

But that's not the important thing.

Most importantly, the Mercury Serpent fell in love with the girl at first sight.

Therefore, he made up his mind to make this girl become the "god" who would replace him.

His own fate was to die in the arms of Mary, who had become the "Goddess of Twilight," and he would never acknowledge or accept any other ending.

It can be said that the main plot of the entire Fourth Day World, all the tragedies and comedies, is nothing more than the story of the Lord of the Seat, Mercury Serpent, transforming the girl who is the "God of Seeking the Way" into the "God of Domination" who can control the "Seat", and then trying to make the girl replace him.

The Mercury Serpent's methods in order to transform Mary, the God of Seeking Truth, into a God of Domination, make one wonder if he is a Minotaur enthusiast.

After all, this guy used his own relic, the Philosopher's Stone, his own blood, and the souls of tens of thousands of battle slaves in Reinhard's Demon Castle as materials in order to get close to Mary, a girl whose body would be beheaded if touched.

Using the soul of Rhodes Reichhardt, a German soldier who died in battle, as a base, the strongest relic, Zarathustra, was created.

The Mercury Serpent used this relic to communicate with and protect his beloved Margaret in his place.

In the end, Mary loved the other person, not the Mercury Serpent.

Zarathustra is also known as Fujii Ren.

This is the prototype of Duanmu Lian's current body.

The relationship between Duanmu Lian and Fujii Ren can be compared to that between Misaka Mikoto and the Misaka Sisters in A Certain Magical Index.

The former is an important prototype, while the latter is merely a consumable manufactured to achieve a certain purpose.

"This is one of the worst things that could happen... no, it's the worst possible situation..."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt fortunate that he hadn't transmigrated into the protagonist of this world.

Being the protagonist in other worlds is fine, but in the world of *The Day of God's Wrath*, the prerequisite for becoming the "protagonist" is becoming a 'toy of God'.

After all, the protagonist, Fujii Ren, is a relic of the Master Mercury Serpent, and his consciousness is linked to it.

If he really did travel through time to reach Fujii Ren, he would definitely be discovered immediately.

Then, while the Mercury Serpent, yearning for the unknown, might be interested in and delighted by this 'unknown,' Duanmu Lian at that time was absolutely not in control of her own life or death.

Although she didn't have a nightmare start, Duanmu Lian's current situation is definitely a hellish one.

why?

Because he is a clone of Fujii Ren, an experimental clone created by a guy called Red Spider in order to unlock the secrets of the body of the Son of God, Zarathustra!

Before Duanmu Lian, a large number of clones had already been consumed in the experiments.

For some unknown reason, each of Fujii Ren's clones had a very weak sense of self, only slightly better than a person in a vegetative state.

Moreover, only those clones who attempt to get close to the original Fujii Ren have a slightly clearer consciousness and are able to communicate.

Furthermore, each clone cell weakens and dies very quickly.

Due to these defects, these clones will quickly weaken and die even if left unattended.

However, the clones of Fujii Ren will die off faster. In the end, it's probably impossible for someone like Red Spider to replicate a creation of God with his technology.

Apart from the current ruler of the constellation, the Serpent of Mercury, only he has successfully carried out the act of cloning with divine attributes.

Therefore, due to the unqualified clones and various technical problems, Red Spider had to abandon the plan.

Now, Duanmu Lian is her final work.

In the original storyline, his role was simply to imitate the prototype, Fujii Ren, and eventually decay into a tragic figure.

The clone that Duanmu Lian transmigrated into never appeared in the original game or anime, but it did appear in the Dies spin-off novel.

That timeframe was after Fujii Ren and Yuza Shirou had their fight on the rooftop and were hospitalized.

Because the object of their imitation was hospitalized, the clones, having lost their imitation objects, began to act on their own.

Finally, after encountering Honjo Erii and Yuza Shirou, he was killed by the two of them.

"In the end, they were too weak. How can the weak control their own destiny?"

Duanmu Lian clenched his hands, feeling the weak strength of this child's body. He felt no discouragement, but rather anger and resentment at his destined tragic fate.

He wanted to change, to fight, to defy his tragic fate!

I long to break free from eternal damnation and return to this prison!

In his past life, he never found the meaning of life. He felt that everything he did was meaningless because of his sense of knowing and feeling of nothingness.

But now, Duanmu Lian feels... if he could do something that no living being could do, something that was 'desperate,' 'impossible,' and 'unsuccessful,' then it would definitely have a very pleasant and satisfying meaning for him!

After all, what could be more interesting than rebelling against the gods and the world?

Moreover, it's a hopeless world where we defy eternal rebirth and see no hope of liberation!

"If you can overcome this despair... what kind of sense of accomplishment would you feel?"

Thinking of this, Duanmu Lian revealed a rather perverted and twisted smile, and her eyes burned with an incomparably deep blue spiritual light.

This is not a metaphor, because at this moment, Duanmu Lian herself was unaware of the brilliance shining in her eyes.

And it was at this moment that he conceived this idea, or rather, fantasy, that was fundamentally impossible to realize.

A cold, emotionless voice... responded to his fantasy!

[Host detection in progress.......]

[The wills coincide. 】

[Hoping for fulfillment.]

[After reshaping the personality with a 5% error, and adding pre-existing perception factors for correction, the personality error is 0000.1%. Accepted!]

[Welcome back, my master! 10^100th power!]

[Ding—Chat group owner, I'm back online on the day of my fury!]

P.S.: New book seeking recommendations, monthly tickets, and donations........................................

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter Two is filled with strange chat groups.

Confused, alert, cold sweat...

This was Duanmu Lian's reaction when he suddenly heard the cold, emotionless voice coming from inside his head. He subconsciously thought that he had been discovered by some perverted snake.

Because of her past experiences, Duanmu Lian was naturally sensitive and suppressed her rapidly beating heart and breathing.

Then, he squinted and glanced at the wall of the room where Ayase Kozo had given him to rest.

Knowing that there must be cameras in the room monitoring him as the test subject, he kept lying on his side the whole time, keeping his face away from the cameras.

He was so startled by the sound that he almost sat up.

Meanwhile, Ayase Kozo, who was conducting an experiment in a room, also took a moment to glance at the computer screen displaying the surveillance footage.

He coldly stared at the small figure curled up on the medical bed on the screen, pushed up his glasses, and then continued his experiment.

Compared to Duanmu Lian, a failed attempt, Fujii Ren, whose body's secrets he could never decipher, was more appealing to him.

After all, the fact that clones have never been successfully replicated means that Karl Craft's son truly harbors an unimaginable secret.

Thinking about the monstrous power of the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, it would be impossible for Ayase Kozo not to feel envious.

On the surface, he is Professor Ayase, but in reality, he is a descendant of a Nazi Party member who fled to Japan.

Before the Black Round Table's coveted gold alchemy could begin, he was given the task of Zarathustra, created by Melcrius during the Great War.

He was the one who named Zarathustra Ren Fujii.

His original task was to train Zarathustra (Ren Fujii) until he could act independently.

However, although he was a coward, he had great desires.

Although he was just an ordinary person with some talent, he also dreamed of receiving the blessing of being made from gold.

However, Ayase Kozo hates having sacred relics embedded in his body, so he wants something that will become his trump card.

Such things can only be obtained from those with special bloodlines.

One is Fujii Ren, and the other is the sacrifice made by the Black Round Table to realize the gold alchemy, which is the bloodline of the Sun Prince.

The first Sun Prince was Yzak, who has already sacrificed himself to become the heart of the Golden Demon Castle.

Yitzhak also had a brother named John.

Ayase Takazo found John's descendants, killed his parents, and adopted a naive child.

That child was Ayase Kasumi, who was also Fujii Ren's childhood friend.

With these two special bloodlines, Ayase Kozo was confident that he could achieve what he had always dreamed of.

After all, both Ayase Kozo and Star Spider coveted mysterious powers.

However, Red Spider, fearing Melcrius's wrath, dared not inflict physical harm on Fujii Ren.

But Ayase Kozo is fearless and dares to do things that even the Red Spider wouldn't dare to do!

In addition to experimenting on Duanmu Lian, a clone of Fujii Ren, he also audaciously conducted torture-like human experiments on the young Fujii Ren herself in a hidden room!

This guy's downfall was already sealed the moment he dared to do something like that.

Therefore, Duanmu Lian never took this dying man seriously, but was more wary of demons like Red Spider!

Now, having calmed down in the room, Duanmu Lian emptied her mind and saw 'hope' in the darkness of her consciousness.
