Shirou's clones number 30 million

In the empty, pure white space, Shirou Sanzen Kaijiro stared expressionlessly at Seiya Ryuguin and slowly said:

"First, you will return to your original world and gain an ideal spouse and endless wealth, but you will not be able to retain the memories of being a hero."

"Second, stay in Gaiabrand and continue living as a hero; your power and memories can be preserved."

"Third, you will return to your original world with all your memories and some of your power. At the same time, you will need to sign a confidentiality agreement, prohibiting you from revealing anything about the other world."

Ryuguuin Seiya frowned slightly, staring at him with extremely cold eyes.

"Before we defeat the Demon King, didn't you say you could grant me one wish?"

“That’s true.” Sanzen Kaishirou nodded slightly. “But there are limits to desires. Endless wealth and a desired spouse are the upper limits.”

At this point, a smile appeared on Sanzen Kaishirou's face, and he continued:

"The above are all formulaic statements."

"Many of the seniors in the divine realm taught me this. I've heard that as long as you tell a hero, 'I can grant you one wish,' the hero will immediately become excited."

"Of course, in reality, this is just a pretext. It is merely an act of providing assistance to the hero who defeated the Demon King within the limits of the gods' power."

"In addition, there are follow-ups such as wiping memories and not violating the rules of the divine realm. It is said to be a wish, but in fact it is a trap."

"Well then, considering how well we've gotten along during this time, I can offer you a fourth option."

"Before that, there's something I need to ask your opinion on. Before I take you to her, do you need me to help you unlock the memory of your last failure?"

As agreed beforehand, in exchange for defeating the Demon King, Sanzen Kaishirou could take him to see the reincarnation of his former wife.

Ryuguuin Seiya fell silent, pulled up the panel, looked at the sentence at the bottom, and remained speechless for a long time.

Although I don't have the memory of that time, the feelings from back then still remain in my heart. Occasionally, when I think back on them, my heart feels like it's going to explode, and I experience an indescribable pain.

"Thank you for your help."

"Very good, I like honest people. So..."

Sanzen Kaishirou instantly appeared in front of Ryuguin Seiya, gently extending his right hand and pressing it against his forehead.

As the golden light flashed by, Ryuguuin Seiya's expression gradually turned to pain.

"hiss……"

The princess's companions, the arrogant and disobedient self, and the astonished feeling when the demon king was resurrected.

The experience of being a hero last time kept replaying in his mind, and the image finally froze on the moment before his death.

"Princess Tiana!!"

“It seems you’ve remembered.” Sanzen Kaishirou stepped back slightly.

"You said before that Princess Tiana has been reincarnated. Can you help her recall her past life's memories?"

"Theoretically it's possible, but practically it's not. Because whether or not she wants to recall her past life's memories is a decision only she can make."

"That's true."

Ryuguin Seiya unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, his tense body gradually relaxing.

"Can I see her?"

"Of course you can, but only from a distance; close conversation is prohibited."

Realizing the hidden meaning in Shirou Sanzen's words, Seiya Ryuguin immediately asked:

"Isn't one wish enough?"

"If she were just an ordinary human being, there would be no problem, but unfortunately, she is not an ordinary human being."

Sanzen Kaishirou paused for a moment, then explained in detail:

"Back then, you failed as the hero to save the B-rank world of Ixfria, and Princess Tiana died."

"The goddess in charge of guiding you believes it is her responsibility, so she went to plead with the Great Goddess. She begged for a long time before the Great Goddess finally agreed."

"After that, with the help of the Great Goddess, Princess Tiana was reincarnated in the realm of the gods and became a new goddess. Her current name is Ristarte."

“So it was her.” Ryuguuin Seiya thought to himself.

I had met her once before at the Divine Realm Restaurant; she is indeed a new goddess.

"know?"

"I met him once."

"What are your thoughts?"

"It's nothing. When can I go to Ixfria and start over?"

"The timeline cannot be reversed; at most, we can only try to fix things after the fact."

“I know.” Ryuguuin Seiya thought for a moment, then said again, “That’s enough.”

"To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. There's no need to rush; let's make some preparations first. The biggest difference between SS difficulty and S difficulty is that you can't open a portal to return halfway through; you have to take down the Demon King in one go."

At this point, a smile appeared on Sanzen Kaishirou's face.

"By the way, even if you save the world on SS difficulty, you still won't be able to be with her. The gap between humans and gods is just too big."

"To be with her, I must save ten worlds, all of which must be at least S-rank. Among them, at least three must be SS-rank worlds and one must be SS+-rank world."

"After that, you will be elevated from a human to a god under the witness of the gods, living forever and eternally."

“I understand.” Ryuguuin Seiya nodded calmly. “When are we going to Ixfria?”

Seeing this, Sanzen Kaishirou smiled and said, rather speechless:

"Honestly, I was so excited when I first heard the news."

"Then, as a god born from humankind, let me consider you your predecessor. Here's my advice: all preparations will not be in vain. Be cautious and bold, and you will surely cross the finish line."

"I will succeed." Ryuguuin Seiya nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, but the light in his eyes was brighter than ever before.

“Very good, you go back to cultivate first. I will go and explain the situation to my superiors, and also submit an application to save Ixfria.”

After opening the Anywhere Door and sending Ryuguuin Seiya home, Sanzen Kaishirou headed straight for the residence of the High Goddess.

"...That's about it."

"You mean, the hero you summoned, Ryuguuin Seiya, for some reason, suddenly recalled his previous failure and volunteered to go and save Ixfria?"

"That's it."

"Call Ryuguin Seiya over here, I want to have a chat with him." Ariadne looked at Sanzen Kaishirou with a half-smile.

"Why……?"

"I knew it, it was you again who acted on your own initiative. Sigh... never mind, don't do it again."

"Thank you! In addition, I would like to use this achievement to exchange for the right to view the divine art—World Creation."

"Your divine power hasn't reached the required level yet, has it?"

"It's only for research purposes. I would never use it recklessly if I wasn't confident in its effectiveness."

"That's true. Someone as cautious as you would never risk your life to use divine magic. Okay, I'll apply to the Great Goddess for it. Whether it will be approved is another matter."

Chapter 532 You are not the same person you used to be

Chapter 533 You are not the same person you used to be

After Sanzen Shirou obtained the divine technique—World Creation, Aizen closed the courtyard gate and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the gate.

However, with the shadow clones present, no one really noticed this phenomenon.

"Is Captain Aizen not here again?"

As soon as Hinamori Momo leaped from the courtyard wall into the yard, she noticed the words "Do Not Disturb" posted on the inner room door and couldn't help but sigh.

"You can tell me whatever it is," Aizen's shadow clone casually remarked.

"It's nothing important, but I haven't seen Inoue Orihime for many days. I wonder how she is?"

As she spoke, Hinamori Momo frequently glanced towards the inner room, her eyes filled with suspicion.

"You're just here to see Inoue Orihime? She's undergoing combat training in another world and won't be back for a few days."

"What about Captain Aizen?"

"I am Aizen."

"I'm referring to Captain Aizen himself, not his clone."

"I am inside the house and have not gone anywhere."

"Is that so?" Hinamori Momo's face was full of disbelief.

"If there's nothing urgent, go back to work."

Is Inoue really not here?

"You think she's inside?" Aizen's shadow clone asked in return.

"This……"

Hinamori Momo seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes darting around. After stammering for a moment, she turned and ran away as if fleeing.

"After Inoue returns, please have her report to the team."

"Really." Aizen (shadow clone) sighed, quite speechless. "Hinamori has gone astray now. Back then, she was just an elementary school student who didn't know anything."

"No way! I've always been me."

Outside the wall, Hinamori Momo's voice of defense suddenly came.

"Haha... If you can understand, it means you're not the same person you used to be." Aizen (shadow clone) laughed heartily.

This time, not a sound came.

However, according to her Observation Haki, she was leaning against the courtyard wall and had not yet left.

Aizen (the shadow clone) did not care about this.

In the past few days, ever since she discovered that Aizen had put up the "Do Not Disturb" sign, she has been taking time every day to come over and eavesdrop.

'Speaking of which, the time I arranged to meet Ichigo and the others seems to be approaching soon.'
