Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 501 A Fateful Choice 2

"Omniscient and omnipotent..."

Stryus's fingers trembled as he let the white-mixed Megiddo fight the swordsmen, while his entire focus was on the fragments of the Book of Creation gathered in his hands.

The power of the Lord of Truth, as well as Raziel and Zios, and even the fragments of the fantasy world's guardian Victor's manual fell into his hands.

With his own qualities added in, all the necessary elements were present.

"Haha, this day has finally come!"

Two tear tracks appeared on Stryus's smiling face, and the reluctance in his eyes gradually turned into ruthlessness.

"My friends, this long yet rushed story will soon come to an end, and I will wrap it up and create the best possible ending!"

"Strius!"

Fei Yu wanted to get past the white Megiddo to stop it, but found that this Megiddo, which had already been destroyed, was unexpectedly difficult to deal with.

However, apart from him, it seemed that none of the other swordsmen had a chance to get close to Stryus.

Because the fantasy world began to encroach on reality, numerous real streets appeared around them in just a short time, and the barrier in the middle continued to dissipate.

The imbalance that occurred 15 years ago was caused by the previous generation of Flame Swordsmen, but this time the scale is much larger than before.

Even the swordsmen's use of holy swords to form a protective array could not stop the spread of erosion.

If things continue like this, Reality will destroy itself without Stryus's intervention.

"How could this happen?"

"Because the guardian of the fantasy world was killed."

Yuri's eyes were filled with barely suppressed pain as he silently looked at his palm, which was gradually becoming transparent.

The Dark Swordsman is burdened with the destiny of foreseeing the future, and as the Dark Swordsman from a thousand years ago, he understands it more deeply than the current Dark Swordsman.

The Dark Sword doesn't actually foresee the future, but rather possesses the ability to partially read the story's script.

It is easy to see from the case of Fuga-no-miya Kento that the current story is far more complex than what he saw a thousand years ago.

Yuri turned his gaze to the floating island behind him.

Kento Fukamiya, the Dark Swordsman, also has the White Sword...

"Chop...chop you?"

Kento Fukamiya gripped his once-sacred sword with a trembling voice, and quickly recalled the process by which Natsukawa replicated the power of the sacred sword.

"You want to replicate the Thunder Sword? But I am no longer the Thunder Swordsman, and even if I become the Blade King Sword, so what? You can't change anything..."

"The time has come!"

Xia Chuan did not wait for Fugamiya Kento's decision, but Stryus on the other side had already made his decision first.

Looking back, Stryus was performing a pilgrimage-like ritual, as all the fragments rose up enveloped in light, swirling in mid-air and condensing into a giant mirror image of books.

Table of Contents for the Omniscient and Omnipotent Book.

"Whoosh!"

The moment the book's mirror image took shape, the encroachment on the fantasy world intensified.

Xia Chuan looked up at the sky with everyone else and clearly felt the pull from the Holy Sword.

Ark wanted him to be assimilated by the book, and he knew very well that the reason he had to continue was because he had a clone.

Becoming a part of the "Blade King Sword" or the Omniscient and Omnipotent Book is not a bad thing for him; he can even indirectly control the power of this Book of Creation.

Destroying the world doesn't necessarily require direct confrontation.

No matter what method you use, as long as you can eventually complete the game, that's fine.

What puzzled him was that he had hidden away the fragment related to the North District base.

Can the omniscient and omnipotent book be restored in this way?

"It's very similar to one of the futures I've seen; the future is already predetermined."

The Thunder Sword slipped from Fujimiya Kento's hand as he fell into a state of complete disorientation.

It doesn't look like it could unleash a lightning swordsman's attack at all.

Xia Chuan felt quite helpless.

I was in too much of a rush. I thought replicating the Thunder Sword would be a piece of cake, but it turned out to be the hardest one to get.

"You seem to be in trouble, Decade?"

An arm pierced through the spatial barrier to catch the falling Thunder Sword. Amidst the surging black mist, the smiling face of the Holy Lord of Truth materialized, a bizarre mixture of divinity and evil.

"Would you be happy if I could wield the Thunder Sword?"

"Ark..."

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan raised his hand to block the lightning sword that the Holy Lord of Truth suddenly unleashed. A large-scale lightning storm spread outwards, and a lightning mark in the center filled the last gap in the holy sword.

Zizi!

The sky above the floating islands dimmed with bursts of lightning. The star array formed by the Holy Sword Marks completed its connection and suddenly burst out of Xia Chuan's body, splitting the fantasy world in two along with the commotion caused by Stryus on the other side.

Before the swordsmen could react, they saw streaks of starlight fall from the star array, and all the holy swords that had not yet awakened began to glow.

"What a beautiful scene!"

The Holy Lord of Truth gloated and proudly admired the scene before him.

Xia Chuan, one of the main parties involved, remained calm and showed little reaction.

Ark is like a gambler betting on both sides, trying to bring about the final battle between the protagonist and the boss.

It seems like this is how you can beat Saber.

"Is this your strategy?"

Xia Chuan gazed at Stryus on the other side.

The fragments of the omniscient and omnipotent book, along with its table of contents, were fused together and were caught by Stryus as if they were precious treasures.

"Simply repeating the same script and plot is considered completing the game?"

"Hmph, you should worry about yourself first."

The voice of the Holy Lord of Truth became hoarse and indifferent, completely transforming into the will of Ark.

"Farewell, Decade. You have become an integral part of this world, a part of the scenery on my path of evolution."

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan vanished like a blur, leaving behind only a dazzling star sword that fell from the sky into the hands of Shenshan Feiyuzhen.

It seemed no different from the original Blade King Sword Ten Holy Blades, but Touma, who was holding the sword, suddenly widened his eyes.

My body is out of control!

"Could it be...?"

"Saber draws his sword!"

"Clang!"

The blade automatically reads the belt's control manual.

Blue starlight converged from all directions, enveloping Fei Yu Zhen, and the Flame Sword and Holy Blade Ancient Dragon Armor automatically switched to the glittering Stardust Dragon Armor.

Who are you?

Fei Yuzhen spoke up in surprise, but received no response, and could only watch helplessly as she lost control again.

Unlike the previous book banning incident, this time his mind was perfectly clear.

"The White Sword?"

"The time has finally come!"

Stryus did not stop the Blade King Sword from descending. At the same time that the new Holy Blade Armor appeared, he suddenly turned around and was swallowed whole by the white Megiddo.

The atmosphere at the scene was eerily calm.

Before anyone could even realize how absurd it was, the white Megiddo that swallowed Stryus struggled painfully as if it had indigestion, before collapsing and re-reviving its Stryus form.

"So...that's how it is?"

Stryus looked up in despair, holding a brand new black mastery book in his hands, as a vast amount of omniscient information continued to flood his mind.

The whole world is a story.

The past few thousand years are a joke; the real story actually begins with Touma Kamiyama.

After the hero defeats the demon king, the world comes to an end.

The Blade King Sword, which will guide the story to its end, has also appeared...

Looking back at the Star Sword in the Holy Blade's hand, Stryus's face twisted in a grimace of laughter and tears.

What a casual and cruel story.

"Since the ending is inevitable, I should at least decide how it ends. I'll give the script a perfect tragic conclusion..."

"Is it really up to you to decide?"

Xia Chuan's will completely took over Fei Yuzhen's body, and he flashed to Stryus's side.

"What you have is only a grimoire that is infinitely close to an omniscient and omnipotent book. It is not complete at all. No matter how close it is, there are still parts that you do not know."

"What?"

Stryus's face stiffened as he re-examined the Star Blade.

"What exactly are you...?"

It has become the Blade King Sword and has even developed its own consciousness, and can even control the protagonist of the story.

That's utterly absurd.

"What does 'incomplete' mean?" Stryus asked in a deep voice.

"Didn't I already say? You're already part of the script, whatever you do is within the script."

Xia Chuan's gaze fell on the "magic book" in Stryus's hand.

"You will never have the complete script. Your current thoughts and future thoughts are all based on the missing script, including the true future of this world."

"Ha ha?"

Stryus stumbled backward, completely collapsing.

Xia Chuan's words are not scary; what's scary is that he actually believes them to be the truth.

"I got this book as a script? Indeed, how could a character possibly get the whole script..."
