Sky Curtain: An Initial Overview of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Mortal World

Chapter 40 Forgetting One's Own Name, 1st Battle: Starfall

After "Huang" returned to the village and personally ended the cause and effect called "family ties," he was unable to find a moment of peace.

Above the sky, golden words slowly emerged, narrating his upcoming fate.

[The Three True Dharma Gates of that era revealed signs of desolation.]

The world of Fullmetal Alchemist.

At the Central Command, Colonel Roy Mustang held a cigarette between his fingers, his eyes sharp.

"The reaction speed is very fast."

"Such a massive energy reaction, and the unnatural destruction of a village, would inevitably attract the attention of the 'nation' level. In our world, this is equivalent to the emergence of an uncontrolled humanoid 'Philosopher's Stone,' making it a top-level alert."

"The 'Three Truths Method' seems to be the 'military headquarters' of that era. They must react immediately, either incorporating it into their ranks or eliminating it. Otherwise, this enormous force driven by malice could become a disaster that overthrows the entire country."

The world of Card Magician.

At Youzhi Elementary School, Li Xiaolang frowned, holding a talisman in his hand.

"Such powerful evil energy."

"Although we can't see the images, just the descriptions of 'resurrection' and 'killing parents' are enough to feel the resentment and demonic nature. Our family has recorded similar cases; people possessed by powerful evil spirits emit a dark aura that corrupts everything."

"The 'Three True Schools' should be a reputable and righteous sect. They should be able to detect this sudden, disruptive source of evil energy through magic or a compass. It must be sealed away before it causes further damage!"

[The desolation of my youth.]

Behind this short sentence lies countless chases and escapes.

The scene on the screen wasn't shown in detail, but everyone could imagine the turbulent life a child would lead, being targeted by the strongest sect of the entire era.

[Having endured so much desolation, Huang had even forgotten his own name.]

The Naruto world.

In Konoha Village, Naruto Uzumaki sat on the Hokage Rock, clenching his fist in empathy.

"It's happening again..."

"Being treated like a monster by everyone, being rejected and chased by everyone. I know that feeling of loneliness all too well. When no one calls your name, slowly, you start to doubt who you really are and why you exist."

"He's worse off than me. At least I have Teacher Iruka and my third grandfather. He has nothing, only endless malice and relentless pursuit. He's even forgotten his own name. So, the only proof of his existence is hatred?"

The world of monsters.

Dr. Kenzo Tenma, Düsseldorf, wore a deep look of weariness and sorrow.

"His personality is being stripped away."

"A name is the first identifier that society gives to an individual. Forgetting one's name means that the last connection between him and human society has been severed. He is no longer a 'person,' but merely a life form carrying malice."

"John is the same way. In his world, there are no names, only identities that need to be replaced. This emptiness will eventually give rise to the most extreme nihilism and destructive desire. This boy named Huang is being completely molded into a 'devil'."

[When I was starving, I encountered a cat, the one I had loved most in my dreams, and this cat's name was Xiaohuang.]

In the scene depicted on the sky, a gaunt boy huddled in a corner of a dilapidated temple.

A similarly thin, wounded stray cat cautiously approached and rubbed its head against his hand.

At that moment, the boy's empty eyes seemed to show a barely perceptible fluctuation.

The world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

At the Dugu Sword Tomb, beside the one-armed Yang Guo, the Divine Condor let out a low cry.

"Ah, so it's not just me."

Yang Guo stroked the feathers of the Divine Condor, a complex look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"When you're bullied, scorned, and the whole world is against you, it's these speechless beasts who are willing to offer you a little warmth. If it weren't for Brother Eagle, I would probably have died in the desolate valley long ago."

"This kid probably has all his goodwill placed on this cat. The cat is called 'Little Wilderness,' and perhaps he just wants to see in this cat the small version of himself that hasn't been consumed by hatred."

Assassination Classroom World.

At the old Kunugigaoka Junior High School building, Koro-sensei waved his tentacles and let out a "hehehehe" laugh, but his tone was very serious.

"This is the last and best chance!"

"I see! A crack has appeared in the ice of his heart! Cats are his favorite things in his dreams, which means that deep in his memory, there is still a sample of the emotion of 'love'!"

"If a good teacher had appeared at that moment, using this cat as a starting point, there would have been a real chance to pull him out of the abyss! Unfortunately, all he encountered was hunger and pursuit. It's truly... such a pity."

In 1046 BC, the eleventh War of Cause and Effect broke out, and Huang encountered the Three True Ones led by Gongsun Ling and various other factions.

In that battle, all industries faced an unprecedented threat.

The world of Battle Through the Heavens.

At Canaan Academy, Xiao Yan's expression turned serious.

"A thousand-year war?"

"To fight against all the sects of an era single-handedly. Just thinking about it is exhilarating. This guy named Huang, despite his tragic background, has grown at a monstrous rate."

"However, the root of the problem lies with the 'Myriad Corpse Immortals' behind him. It's like when I faced the Soul Palace; I killed one palace master, but there were many more powerful figures. He was fighting for his 'teacher,' but this teacher doesn't seem to be a good person."

Fate/Zero world.

Inside the mansion in Fuyuki City, the Hero King Gilgamesh held a wine glass, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

"Oh? A gathering of misfits?"

"A bunch of insects chasing after empty righteousness have united to try and defeat another slightly stronger insect. What a boring drama. That Gongsun Ling must have been the noisiest one back then."

"This scoundrel named 'Wild' is quite interesting. He fights not for the path of kingship, nor for treasure, but solely for pure malice. This resolve is far purer than those who spout empty words of benevolence and morality. Let me see what kind of attitude you can display in this farce."

[Huang risked his life to inject the remnants of Wanye into a time period outside of this moment, ensuring the continuation of Wanye.]

In the scene, overwhelming magical light engulfed everything.

Huang's figure darted left and right among them, his body covered with wounds left by magical artifacts.

But his ultimate goal was not to defeat anyone.

Instead, it used its last bit of strength to tear open the barrier of time and throw an indescribable darkness into it.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime - World.

In the Demon Kingdom Federation, Rimuru Tempest sighed.

"What loyalty!"

"Even though they were forced to become monsters, they fought to this extent for the master who turned them into monsters. They were even willing to sacrifice themselves to leave a spark for the other party."

"If he had used that power and loyalty to protect his comrades and build his home, he could have become a truly great king. Unfortunately, from the very beginning, he was placed in the position of a destroyer. What a tragedy."

The world of Hellsing.

In the dark basement, Accardo revealed a manic and gleeful smile.

"Beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous!"

"That's more like it! That's what a monster should be like! In absolute disadvantage, risking his life and soul to complete the only task given by his master! Not for survival, not for victory, but simply for 'mission accomplished'!"

"Those so-called righteous people fear death and crave victory. But you, you are enjoying this war that leads to destruction! Come, let me see how you, a loyal dog trained by your master, will die a glorious death!"

[Huang became the common enemy of all sects at the time, and Gongsun Ling fought desperately to destroy him.]

The image on the sky freezes.

The final darkness was swept away, and Huang, having lost his goal, was finally pierced through by countless attacks from the "righteous".

His body slowly dissipated in the light, his face expressionless.

There is neither pain nor liberation.

There was only emptiness.

A single thought can define an eternal world.

At Lingxi Sect, Bai Xiaochun hid under the table, trembling with fear.

"That's terrifying, that's absolutely terrifying!"

"Just like that, it was wiped out? Reduced to ashes! So many magical treasures coming at once, how much pain must it have taken! This guy named Huang is a real madman, knowing he couldn't win but still rushing in, just to deliver something?"

"I, Bai Xiaochun, would never do that! Life is so good; I can eat elixirs and live forever. I would never die for someone else! Thank goodness I wasn't born in that era, otherwise I'd be finished if I got involved!"

The world of Fullmetal Alchemist.

In the presidential palace, the android "Angry"—President Kim Bradley—calmly watches this scene.

"As a soldier, he completed his mission."

"His master gave him a reason for existence: to 'protect all things.' In the last moment of his life, he achieved this strategic goal at the cost of his own destruction. From a tactical point of view, this was a successful 'rearguard' operation."

"He died like a warrior, not a bewildered monster. For a manufactured 'tool,' dying on the battlefield after fulfilling its mission is perhaps the best ending."
