Lu Mingfei is transforming into the final boss.

The attack on Ishtar was scheduled for the first hour after nightfall.

King El-Melloi II stated that he would have the students in El-Melloi's classroom cooperate with Lu Mingfei's actions as much as possible, but whether they would listen to his orders was another matter, as he couldn't control his own students.

This place, which brought together all sorts of eccentric geniuses in the magic world, intrigued her, as such a peaceful teacher-student relationship was something she had never heard of before.

After all, the brain circuits of eccentric geniuses and prodigies are different from others. Their special talents give them a different perspective on the world, which in turn creates a gap between them and ordinary people.

This may be the starting point of the Blood Sorrow.

Lu Mingfei could understand this feeling. After all, from the perspective of "viewing all life from the perspective of the Earth itself", her mind and body had undergone completely different changes.

She couldn't understand herself a few days ago, just as she felt she was unapproachable now. But essentially, she was still Lu Mingfei, only with a different perspective on things and the world.

The sky had changed color. An unprecedentedly large typhoon had caused changes in the climate of Xueyuan City. Even in the eye of the storm, the difference in wind direction could be clearly felt.

"The Bull of Heaven." Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash observed their surroundings through the broken window. "The concentration of magical energy continues to rise."

"It reminds me of the time with Tiamat," Fujimaru Ritsuka said, watching the massive storm brewing.

An overwhelming darkness, obscuring the blue sky.

God will give people trials.

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt terrified about the Messiah's identity, especially after confirming that Lu Mingfei was probably Him, and this fear was amplified.

Responsibilities are bestowed upon people by Heaven.

She was just an ordinary high school girl from Tokyo, and even being chosen as a Master was only because of a chance blood donation event.

Even her becoming the Master who restored humanity was due to an internal strife in Chaldea, which forced her, with her mediocre talent, to take up the post.

She initially thought it was all just a series of coincidences, and she even comforted herself with the excuse that it was an accident.

But that sentence

"My Messiah."

She was chosen, her delusions were shattered.

The chosen savior, no matter how the world changes, her status as the chosen savior will not change. She will come to Chaldea to restore humanity; it is all predestined.

This is both a blessing and a curse; no one would suddenly accept becoming a savior who needs to sacrifice their life to save the world.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is the same.

"Is Senpai still recalling that sentence...?" Mashu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. Anyone who knew the meaning of that title would not be at peace after being given it.

That was the gaze of the Lord, that great gaze was a responsibility, a weight that no human being could bear.

Once assigned this role, one will begin to consider whether they are worthy of it.

"There's no way I can't avoid remembering it," Fujimaru Ritsuka exhaled. "After all, he was the Messiah."

Countless people have given their lives for His glory, yearning to ascend to that blissful heaven, yet she, an ordinary young girl, received this honor.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is a very responsible person, but this sense of responsibility makes her feel heavy, and even makes it difficult for her to breathe.

"yes……"

Mashu could also somewhat understand Fujimaru Ritsuka's feelings.

You think you were born for your own freedom, to live for your own happiness and the happiness of those around you, but someone tells you no, you were born with responsibility and mission.

This responsibility and mission will become a heavy pressure, constantly driving you forward.

For that damned glory.

Lu Mingfei felt the same way, but she didn't even know if she had been brought into the world because she was loved.

As her memories accumulated, she became increasingly suspicious of this, wondering if she had not been born into the world because she was loved, but rather as a tool for others, a vessel for their power.

What is the meaning of being born? What is the meaning of living? She was constantly searching for answers. Should she love others? She felt she couldn't do that.

When the meaning of birth is denied, life becomes meaningless.

Love is an abstract and distorted concept. If you love too deeply, it becomes heavy and unacceptable, because then it is no longer love, but a curse, a poison.

Lu Mingze said he loved her, but she didn't feel it.

She said she loved him, but Lu Mingfei felt it was a pilgrimage, a kind of faith, a sacrifice that she would gladly give up everything for, a kind of martyrdom.

Lu Mingze said he loved her, but it wasn't human love; it was a kind of faith in God, a yearning for her to look down upon him. That's why she rejected his request.

She still remembers what her parents look like, but they are constantly absent from her life.

Those golden eyes, flickering between light and shadow, revealed the imbalance in their owner's state of mind.

She shouldn't be thinking about this problem. The more she thinks about it, the more problems arise and the deeper her doubts become. Once she starts thinking, she can't even stop herself, thus falling into an imperfect cycle.

"elder sister……"

"Let me have some peace and quiet."

Lu Mingze knows everything, but she won't say it.

Just as she said before, both truth and power need Lu Mingfei's own desire to pursue them to have meaning and value, but she did not want her sister to suffer because of thinking about the meaning and value of life.

Unbeknownst to her, she possessed the same qualities as Tsubaki Kugano, and thus adopted Kugano's identity.

But the truth is evil and sad.

The physical body is false, even the identity is false, but the soul and emotions are real—that is the truth.

"If I said I would tell you everything, including the truth, would you listen?" Lu Mingze said calmly, her expression changing accordingly.

As she said, she would grieve when her sister was sad.

The king who reigns over the world does not need love or hate. Love and hate are the eternal destiny of the dragon race, and even the dragon king Nidhogg is no exception. Loneliness led him to give birth to the White Emperor Izanami, but it brought betrayal.

"Are you telling the truth?" Lu Mingfei pulled her head out from under the white pillow, her black hair spread out on the plain white sheets, making her look like a princess who had been lost to the world.

Her purity is like a gift bestowed upon humanity by the gods.

"I will not deceive you. When you crave me, I will give you everything, including my life."

"But that's what I hate about you," Lu Mingfei said calmly, "for being stuck in the past."

She simply loathed this kind of fanaticism.

"Because we are the remnants of the past, sister. Because we reject the future, we destroy the world."
