The Warrior of Love

"The dimensional folding phenomenon... is it that this section of space has been cut off? He has achieved "transfer" with just "techniques". He is not a magus, but he has touched the "law". He is really a guy who should not be underestimated."

He also used "transfer" to distance himself from Jiang Liu again. The Magic King, who had lost a piece of his sleeve, looked at the long wound on his arm with an undisguised look of disgust on his face.

Frankly speaking, this kind of injury is nothing. For a servant, it is not even a flesh wound, let alone King Solomon who is truly immortal.

He is essentially one with the Temple of Time, independent of the long river of time. He is the so-called "Transcendent", and has no concept of death at all.

He is even more thorough than Tiamat in this regard, and has no weaknesses at all!

——At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

But he was still angry about the wound, perhaps because his self-esteem was too strong, or his arrogance made him unable to accept this result.

"Barbatos was defeated too? You're so useless... Even though you're bugs, you're pretty capable."

Without repairing the wound on his arm, the Magic King glanced at everyone and finally looked at Jiang Liu.

"I didn't expect that after all this effort, I still couldn't get rid of you. I am really lazy..."

There was a hint of playfulness in his words. Although he had been touched by Jiang Liu's blade, his confidence was still as solid as a rock and did not waver at all.

If you want to ask why——

"Are you going to continue fighting like this?"

Jiang Liu said coldly: "Although this is your freedom, I will not lose to "this you". Even if you continue to fight, you will not get the result you want."

"Oh? Can you see it?"

King Solomon laughed, and didn't seem surprised why Jiang Liu made such a statement.

“Heh… But since you can see it, why do you still dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me? You scum, to me, are just bugs that need to be drowned in my urine. You are not worth continuing at all. Stop pretending here!”

Jiang Liu remained silent. He did not retort immediately, but held the long sword tightly in his hand. Vigorous vitality emerged from deep within his body. His heart beat like a war drum, constantly pumping magic power into his limbs and bones, elevating his body to the best condition.

That's right, the sword he used just now, which was the pinnacle of his "skill", had already touched King Solomon, proving that he had the ability to hurt the opponent. If he persisted, he might have a chance of winning.

——But Jiang Liu knew that this was just an illusion!

Although the Magic King was injured, it was only "this Magic King".

Of course, this doesn’t mean that King Solomon let his opponent win. He did show his true abilities and did suffer a loss at the hands of Jiang Liu, but the premise of all this is his “current posture.”

The power he displayed now was enough to manipulate great magic of the inherent barrier level at will. He could easily summon demon pillars of the god level like molding clay figures. With just a thought, he could make seventy-two demons descend, and even if they were destroyed, they could be resurrected immediately.

It is indeed an extremely terrifying existence...but compared with its true power, it is just the tip of the iceberg, or even a drop in the ocean.

This appearance of "human", "prophet", "magician", "wise king"... fits the self-proclaimed "Grand Heroic Spirit", but in fact it is more like a limiter, a clown mask that the devil wears when playing tricks on humans.

Even without the intelligence advantage of foresight, Jiang Liu could clearly sense... beneath the unfathomable abyss, lurked an unimaginable and terrifying existence!

"It's time to take off the mask, the greatest disaster in human nature - "Beast"!"

"Hahaha!"

The Magic King laughed more happily than ever before, and his wild attitude seemed as if he was having a pleasant conversation with an old friend rather than a tense confrontation.

"Okay! Okay! Do you want to see my true majestic figure? Small and foolish beings like you are not qualified to see me. But you are the warriors who made me shed a drop of blood... I will give you this as a reward for your "wise eyes"!"

Some kind of will that transcends everything, which is neither divine nor demonic, was released at this moment, and the entire Temple of Solomon began to tremble.

Rumbling--

Rocks shattered, space torn apart, light and shadow distorted... It was like a doomsday scene!

Pieces of white jade-like stones floated in the air, and were then crushed into powder by the airflow condensed by magic power. The world seemed to have fallen into chaos, with no order to be seen. Everything was centered on the invisible great existence and turned into a vortex of destruction!

Finally, when everything calmed down, the original pure white palace had completely disappeared.

All that was left was the bare desolate land and the demon tentacles that seemed to be rooted in the ground. The broken ruins could vaguely reveal their former appearance, but all the splendor and magnificence had been replaced by the ugly and twisted demon pillars.

"Hahaha! Look at this perfect figure! I am the true god, I am the king who transcends human intelligence!

Kneel down!

Foolish and insignificant humans, bow down for this moment. This moment of witnessing my presence will be your last glory! In front of you is the supreme king who commands the demon gods - Goetia! "

On the throne, the man in gorgeous clothes had disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone was a complete monster.

It is about four meters tall, with limbs and a human appearance. In terms of size alone, it is not even as big as many monsters, but its ferocious appearance is far more ferocious than wildness.

The gnarled muscles, the bark-like surface with a metallic texture, the sturdy limbs and the majestic posture bring an extremely strong sense of oppression, which makes people afraid.

His body was covered with incomprehensible lines, which looked like natural magic circuits and scars from cracked skin. His arms were dotted with neatly arranged blood-red eyeballs, each of which could move independently, giving off a gloomy and weird vibe.

The head can be said to be human-shaped, and parts similar to facial features can be seen, but it seems to be wearing a mask, which makes it look extremely stiff.

The most eye-catching thing is the pair of large horns on his head that look like deer antlers and tree branches.

Plants, demon pillars, humans, animals——the existence before my eyes seemed to be a product of a random fusion of these elements.

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes. Although he had expected this, he was still shocked when he actually saw the power of the Demon King.

Should we say that it is worthy of being an existence that has burned up the entire history of mankind?

This unusual sense of existence... is like the center of the entire starry sky!

Even Jiang Liu today has the illusion of being "invincible".

"This is……"

Unlike Jiang Liu who was still able to remain calm, Ritsuka was completely shocked. The transformation from King Solomon to the Demon King seemed difficult for the girl to understand.

"Ritsuka, don't panic!"

Hundreds of meters away, Jiang Liu shouted from afar: "Our enemy has not changed. No matter what he becomes, what we have to do is the same!"

"Yeah, I understand."

Ritsuka took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and tried to overcome his fear and not look away.

And you asked us to kneel down... What a bullshit, you ugly bastard!

Chapter 663: The Beast of Mercy

[Beast]——Ritsuka was not unfamiliar with the word Jiang Liu said.

As early as the seventh singularity o Mesopotamia, she learned about this existence from Merlin, Gilgamesh, and Roman.

She knew that it specifically referred to the "beast" that was born from the root evil of mankind, and its existence itself was closely related to all of humanity. Strictly speaking, it was the embodiment of "human evil."

Tiamat, the mother goddess of all things, is an abnormal being who qualifies as a "Beast".

Although the little girl who is currently being treated as a mascot in Chaldea looks very innocent and cute, I believe no one will forget the hideous posture she displayed when she landed from the Persian Gulf and fell into the underworld.

According to Chaldea's calculations at the time, after Tiamat landed, it would take less than a week to reset the entire planet's environment, a true destruction of the world.

The power of this special existence, "beast", can be seen from this. It is an abnormal creature that exceeds human imagination.

However, even compared to the goddess of creation Tiamat, King Solomon in front of him... no, the ugly monster who called himself "Demon King Goetia" was too powerful.

This was not the first time Chaldea had encountered him. They had met him in the London singularity before. However, he introduced himself as "Magic King Solomon" at that time. He directed the "Incineration of Humanity" and denied the entire human history.

He explains the source of his power as "Grand Servant".

In order to deal with dangers that threaten the world, the world itself has formulated a set of emergency countermeasures. The seven strongest riders are selected from among many heroes. The special spiritual base granted by the restraining force can maximize the power of the heroic spirit.

This is the most primitive "Heroic Spirit Summoning" system, and the seven servants chosen by the world are the "Grand Servant", whose power is far different from that of ordinary servants.

——Goetia called himself the "Crown", so Chaldea believed that he gained power from this.

But now it seems that this may only be the most superficial side of Goetia. Beneath the spiritual base of its crown servant, there is a much larger and completely opposite power hidden.

Its name is "Beast"!

This is the "existence that threatens the world" that the Seven Grand Servants have to deal with - its true identity!

The true identity of the Grand Servant is actually a "beast" born from human evil!

It was like hiding a flame in the ice. No one dared to believe such a contradictory thing, but the facts told the people of Chaldea that what they were facing was such a twisted "paradox"!

"Goetia... I remember this name came from a book."

Unlike everyone who was frightened by the huge momentum, Jiang Liu responded to the Demon King calmly.

“That’s a name that appears in the famous magic book, the “Key of Solomon,” but it’s not anyone’s name.

When listing the names of the seventy-two demon gods, the title of their true name catalog is [Goetia], so it is used to refer to all demon gods and is a general term for the demons of hell.

If you use this name, then it means that the Demon King... Your Excellency is the collection of the seventy-two Demon Gods?"

Ritsuka and Mashu seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this, but Goetia, who was targeted, did not react at all. After all, this was something that was easy to associate with, and since he had said his real name, he would not worry about anything.

After all, there is nothing in this world that can make him feel afraid. Even Jiang Liu, whose power far exceeds that of a main god, cannot pose a substantial threat to him.

"I am a collection of wisdom that subverts the limits of primates. I have unified the wisdom of the seventy-two demon gods, and have broken free from the shackles of the past. I have evolved again to become a perfect being!"

The Demon King's voice was confident and proud, but everyone subconsciously agreed that it was correct. The power that was so huge that it subverted common sense was the best proof of that.

Only one person disagreed and even mocked him: "Although you say that, aren't you actually using the identity of King Solomon? You think you have gotten rid of the shackles of the past, but subconsciously you still think that is the best way to show your wisdom, right?"

"What a boast! Is this what you see? How superficial, how dull, how arrogant!"

Goetia opened his arms and looked down at everything with contempt.

"King Solomon? Are you talking about that sad and foolish king? He is just a cowardly and useless man. Even if he has a vision beyond ordinary people and sees a more distant future, he will never interfere. He is a coward who wastes his talents and strength and cannot bear any responsibility!

We are different. We are perfect creatures who have already reached a realm above the Creator! We will become the "Gods" of the new world!"

"god……"

Jiang Liu naturally would not think that the "God" Goetia mentioned was a being like Ishtar or Quetzalcoatl. As the Demon King of "Beasts", his rank was far higher than the so-called gods.

His ambition is probably to become a "transcendent" in the true sense and become the pinnacle of this planet!

Jiang Liujing combined the remaining information in his memory with the current analysis. The cause and effect were not complicated, and he quickly guessed the general situation:

King Solomon, knowing the hopelessness and ugliness of human beings, did not choose to correct them and ultimately accepted death.

But the demons did not agree, and they concluded that the future of mankind was worthless.

After that, the seventy-two demons sealed inside Solomon's corpse developed independent thoughts and claimed that they were Solomon (so it seemed to them that they were indeed Solomon).

The demons were originally created by Solomon to provide convenience for humans, but after becoming independent, the demons considered themselves to be higher-dimensional creatures and felt ashamed for having to serve humans.

The only way for the Demon King Goetia to overturn this contradiction is to initiate a revolution.

To be specific, it means becoming the firewood of all mankind, burning the human history from the Age of Gods to the present, proving that you are the greatest existence on this planet!

Taking possession of King Solomon's body, stealing the title of the crown, launching the Incineration of Humanity, and turning all of humanity into firewood - all of this was probably just paving the way for his ambitions.

"The darkness and weakness of human nature are what we witness the most. Jealousy, greed, lust, bloodlust, arrogance - we sympathize with human beings from the bottom of our hearts, and we do not feel sad for such human beings.

Our name is "Gaetia", Humanity Burning Type o Demon King o Gaetia!

He is the true king who surpasses Solomon, and he has come here out of pity for the sorrow of you humans.

Solomon left you alone, but I, on the contrary, will put an end to this tragedy of thousands of years at the end of human history."

The Demon King stretched out his hand to disperse the false starry sky, revealing a halo formed by billions of streams of light, hanging in the sky like a celestial body.

That brilliant halo was more beautiful than any star ring, with billions of golden lights flowing slowly. If even a tiny bit of it leaked out, it would be an invincible treasure comparable to the strongest holy sword!

"What is the meaning of your existence? What have you brought to this planet? What can you leave behind? Nothing! Nothing!

Your birth, your growth, and your death are all meaningless!

It is wrong, it is futile, it is sad!

In order to end this sorrow, the greatest "mercy" I can give you is a painless end, the extinction of human history. And we, the 72 pillars of the devil, will become the only supreme existence on this planet!"

Just for this reason?

Jiang Liu silently looked up at the halo in the sky. Billions of streams of light gathered to form the most powerful treasure of the Demon King. It was the heat accumulated by burning the entire history of mankind. There was no existence on the entire planet that could surpass it.

Even Jiang Liu today doesn't think he can compete with this kind of thing.

I think it won’t last more than a few seconds before the body is completely evaporated!

but……

"Come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu's body turned into a phantom and appeared in the air, and the dark Immortal Slash raised a cold light.

"Are you done?!"
