The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

Tianzai looked at Tohka who was leaving, and after thinking for a while, he moved Yakuya back under the overpass, where there was the tent that Yakuya had been using recently, and then picked up the instant noodles that had already been soaked.

"It tastes terrible. It's all the fault of those swordsmen! By the way, this bastard didn't even add ginger!"

Cursing, Tianzai finished two cups of instant noodles. 】

171: The Lord of Truth Arrives

[Time goes back to a few minutes ago, when Allen and Yakuya had just started fighting, Origami arrived at the park at the agreed place.

Looking at the big tree in front of her, which has not changed much even after 15 years, Origami's memories drifted away, as if she saw the scene of the three girls playing under it again.

"Shiori, Mio..."

Memories of the past brought about thoughts about the future. Origami recalled what she had seen and heard in the past few days, and her heart, which had been as solid as a rock, began to waver again.

The appearance of "Elemental Dragon" is no longer an isolated case. After that, neither Yoshino or Tohka, who should have died in the battle with Bist, suffered any casualties. Even the "Ice Beast Chronicle" that did not exist in the memory appeared again.

Even if it’s very small, the future is definitely changing.

"If that's the case, maybe things can really change if I'm with Shiori like him..."

With her eyes flickering, Origami stopped talking to herself as a vision of the worst future that she had been hiding flashed across her mind.

The world is slowly being repaired, and I can still vividly remember how I cried while holding Shiori, who was about to disappear, in the midst of the ruins. 】

Imagine Breaker: Why doesn’t this memory feel like the scene of the world’s destruction?

The Almighty: Rather than saying it is destruction, it is better to say it is recovery. This is the future when the world is saved!

Pink Round Face: Eh? But didn’t Origami say that there is only a future of destruction?

Commandment: She lied. No, it would be better to say that she voluntarily gave up the path that could save the world, because...

Origami: Because in that future, Shiori sacrificed himself.

The audience who realized this fell into a brief silence. Through watching videos in recent times, they all knew that Shiori was someone who could do such a thing. If sacrificing herself was the only way to save the world, she would probably leave with a smile.

Pure Love War God: I see. No wonder Miss Origami is so determined not to fight alongside the swordsmen. It’s not that she doesn’t take it into account, but if she does so, Miss Shiori will be one step closer to a future of sacrifice.

The leader of the Arotaki faction: Damn it, if only I were in that world, I wouldn’t let anyone sacrifice!

[“This is the only thing I won’t allow.”

Origami's originally wavering eyes became firm again. She grabbed the dark sword Yue'an that was stuck in the ground and prepared to leave, but at this moment she saw the future again.

——The white-haired man in gorgeous red clothes slowly walked over from afar, holding the Thunder Sword Huang Lei that he had once given up...

"This is……"

Origami was stunned and looked in the direction where the man appeared in her memory, but she saw a very familiar blue figure. Shiori happily ran towards her with his hat on.

"You are here after all, Origami-chan."

"Shiori..."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Origami's eyes, and she wanted to turn around and leave, but her stomach seemed to be dissatisfied with this and made a growl in time to stop her owner.

Seeing Origami with an embarrassed expression, Shiori smiled even more happily. She recalled the scene when the three of them played here together as children and their stomachs growled with hunger.

"You must be hungry. I brought some rice balls. Let's eat together!"

As if infected by Shiori's smile, Origami finally softened her heart and nodded silently.

The two came under the tree, Origami silently ate the rice ball made by Yoshino, while Shiori talked about the past.

"Origami-chan, this is the first time we've sat down and had a good chat since I recovered my memory, right? It really brings back memories. You, Mio and I used to hang out here all the time, but since everyone in our family is busy, we always eat lunch boxes together here. Come to think of it, I didn't know Kotori-san was a swordsman back then, and I thought she was just kidding me when she talked about protecting the world."

Thinking of this, Shiori chuckled and continued.

"That was the first time in my life that I felt that being alive was a happy thing. That time was really happy and interesting. Unfortunately, everything changed after that day 15 years ago. Mio disappeared, I lost my memory, and you began your training as a swordsman. Everyone seemed to have changed a lot, but I know that Origami, you have never changed. You are still the same you, and you rescued Sophia with your own hands some time ago.

So, Origami, please fight alongside us once again..."

Origami interrupted Shiori's invitation. She turned her gaze to a badge in the bag. On it was a Q-version Origami with her arms folded across her chest, revealing a little bit of complacency. It formed a huge contrast with her current unkempt self. If you didn't look closely, you might not be able to tell that it was the same person.

"Sophia is a replica of the Daughter of the World Connection. She is an essential tool for the ritual of the Lord of Truth. I rescued her only for this reason. Let's end this conversation here."

Picking up the dark sword Yue Yami, Origami stood up and prepared to leave, but was grabbed by the shoulder by Shiori who stood up faster.

“Don’t just end the topic casually! You always bear everything without saying a word, like this time, and the time you went to see Kotori-nee alone. Can’t you rely on us a little more?”

Face to face, Origami could see that there were tears in Shiori's eyes. He was clearly trying hard to keep smiling, but his face was distorted due to his inner sadness, which was very heartbreaking.

"I don't want to lose you again, Origami. Please, tell me the future you see, okay? Let's find a solution together! No matter what kind of difficulties we face, we can overcome them!"

"Shiori..."

Looking at her best friend's sad face, Origami still felt guilty and shaken even though she had seen it countless times in the future.

"I……"

Just as she was about to speak of the hopeless future, as if sensing something, the two swordsmen turned their heads at the same time to look in one direction. Something horrible was coming.

"Is it time?"

Along with Origami's solemn words, a golden lightning fell from the sky, creating a small pit on the ground in the distance. A white-haired man in red clothes walked out of the pit, holding the Thunder Sword Huang Lei in his right hand and a red book in his left hand.

"Good afternoon, two beautiful ladies, you are enjoying your lunch elegantly, how about I join you?"

The smile of this man whom he had met once was humble and polite, but Shiori could sense the arrogance and madness in his pupils. Origami looked at this man, her anger burning, and she squeezed out the man's name from between her teeth.

"The Lord of Truth, Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott!"]

172: Kindness Speech

[She spoke out the man's name word by word, fire seemed to come out of Origami's eyes. She stared at the man's figure, wishing she could cut him into pieces.

It was this man who instigated his teacher to commit an unforgivable crime, and it was also because of him that he had to turn his sword against his friends, which made Shiori so sad.

However, the Lord of Truth did not care about Origami's hostility. Instead, he curled the corners of his mouth as if he had been praised, as if other people's unwillingness and anger towards him was the highest honor for him.

"Holy Lord of Truth."

Shiori looked at this man whom she had only met once. Her qualities as a swordsman allowed her to quickly calm down and question the other party.

"What exactly do you want to do by reproducing the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence?"

"Reason?"

The Holy Lord of Truth glanced at his fingers leisurely, the smile on his face faded, revealing a sincere expression.

“I want to create a world where everyone can be happy.”

"What nonsense!"

Origami immediately denied the words of the Lord of Truth and pointed the Dark Sword Moon at the other party.

"No matter which future you are in, you will destroy the world wantonly after you obtain the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence!"

Hearing Origami's words, the Lord of Truth laughed as if he had been holding it in for a long time. The sincerity from before was long gone, and a chilling madness spread from the man.

"It's really scary, such a future. But you're right, I was just lying to you. I never thought of such stupid things as protecting the world and maintaining balance when I established this organization thousands of years ago."

The Lord of Truth spread out his hands, as if he was giving a speech to the world to show his existence.

"As for me, ever since I was a child, I have felt that this world is very boring. I want to see rivers of blood, but I am bound by worldly morals and ethics and cannot act as I wish.

But, when I saw the power that Shinji brought back, my thoughts changed.

Wouldn’t it be nice to become a God?

How can human standards limit gods? After becoming a god, I will not be bound by anything and can do whatever I want! "

Putting down his hands, the Holy Lord of Truth looked at the two people who were somewhat stunned.

"Don't you think it would be fun to bring eternal war to the world and turn the birdsong in the morning into the screams of human beings?"]

CEO of Rhodes Island: Crazy, lunatic, this person is a complete lunatic. He wants to become a god just for the inexplicable reason of making others feel pain.

Head Pillar: It's simply chilling, and he is too pure to be a villain.

Dr. Lobster: Compared to this guy, Otto is so cute that he looks like a harmless good person.

Pure Love God of War: Dr. Tesla, although I also think that I am not a good person, it is too hurtful for you to compare me with such a guy.

Retired Mr. Zhong: It's jaw-dropping. Such an evil god has never appeared even during the Demon War. It's really too crazy.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Sensei: Fortunately, my world is an ordinary everyday world, without any super powers or Kamen Riders, otherwise I really can’t stand it.

ZIO II: Well... I think you are right.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Teacher: Hey! ? What does your ellipsis mean? Don't be silent, I'm so panicked!

"Human rules cannot bind gods..."

Westcott in the real world looked at himself talking in the video, and the smile in his eyes became more and more obvious and crazy.

"Yes, you are right. Why didn't I think of it earlier? I am still trapped in the perspective of a mortal. I can't think of such a simple truth. Until now, I am still looking for ridiculous excuses for myself.

Ah, I am really looking forward to it, my ally Stellius, when will you bring me the promised omniscience and omnipotence?"

Seeing Westcott becoming more and more abnormal, Alan behind him felt a little afraid.

This video was like slowly peeling off the disguise on Westcott's exterior, releasing the monster that made Alan shudder.

Is it really right for me to follow him?

Recalling what Stellius said to her before he left, Allen clenched the hilt of the Yanrui Sword at her waist. She felt a sense of urgency in her heart that the current situation could no longer be maintained.

[“What the hell are you talking about?”

Shiori couldn't help but curse. She had completely seen through the man's true nature. He was a monster made up of 100% malice. She couldn't use common sense to figure him out.

"Is it because of this?"

Origami was so angry that she was shaking all over. She was furious when she thought that three generations of dark swordsmen, including herself, had to carry on with this disgusting reason given by this man.

"How dare you lie to the teacher for such a reason!?"

"Teacher? Oh, you mean Honjo Nia, haha, she's pretty good. Everyone in this world is my pawn and toy, and she's the most useful one among them. It's a pity that she was stopped by the previous Holy Blade and couldn't help me bring back the Daughter of Connected Worlds."

The Holy Lord of Truth shook his head with regret, as if he had expressed all his emotions. He looked at the two of them again, and his tone was no longer casual.

"Okay, chess pieces, hand over your holy swords and books. I can't wait to gain the power of omniscience and omnipotence."
