All she knew was that in the blink of an eye, the kitten covered in blood in her arms had turned into a cold corpse.
The only difference from before is whether there is fresh blood on the fur.
But the result was always death.
"Could it be... that the essence of the Fifth Magic is..."
Yao understood in a split second.
Combined with some information about the Fifth Law that was already known.
He was immediately horrified; this was even more absurd and unreasonable than he had imagined.
The core of the Fifth Magic is "consumption".
It is likely that it can use a certain matter as a medium to achieve "boundless continuation" by consuming matter, energy, time, and other means.
However, this unrestrained consumption will accelerate the heat death of the universe, and the fifth magic will make the end of the universe returning to nothingness more concrete.
In other words, this is an extremely terrifyingly high level of borrowing.
This loan can be understood as the lifespan of the universe.
To force the entire universe to pay off one person's debt for the sake of that one person's wish, and the person who uses this magic doesn't have to pay a price.
If any Fifth Magician were to have a mental breakdown...
Theoretically speaking, he could single-handedly exhaust the entire lifespan of the universe.
The universe returns to nothingness at its end.
Countless people around the world racked their brains trying to figure out how to avoid this, and as a result, magic that accelerated the end of the world came out.
Anyone would be so angry they'd vomit blood.
"No wonder the magic world's assessment of the Fifth Magic is—'If only magic only stopped at the fourth level.'"
The fifth magic is essentially meaningless magic.....
A bitter smile appeared on Yao's face.
They tried to deal with the immediate crisis by borrowing money desperately, but then the borrowing led to an even bigger crisis.
Just as humans choose to consume nature in order to develop the future.
That is the essence of the Fifth Magic.
In order to achieve a better future, humans can consume everything except themselves.
Magic is not something humans can play with.
Calling it a disaster wouldn't be an exaggeration.

P.S.: This is the second bonus chapter. I'll also add a cute picture of Aoko in middle school for this chapter.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Saving for Love, Trampling for Love [Seeking monthly votes! Seeking flowers!]
"Qingzi, do you still want to save it?"
Yao knelt on one knee and touched Qingzi's head with his left hand.
They learned the essence of the Fifth Magic.
Now Yao understood why his grandfather couldn't save the cat; his grandfather had only lent the cat ten minutes of Aoko's time.
Ten minutes later, the cat, as usual, will die.
I want to keep the kitten active.
That means we have to move the established fact of the kitten's death from this timeline to the future.
Only in this way can we create the reality that the kitten did not die at this point in time.
However, the heat consumed in this process must be paid for by the universe.
Magic doesn't come from nothing.
If Aozaki's grandfather had actually done that, he would probably have been subjected to a barrage of restraints.
He was absolutely right about the futility.
Magic is both all-powerful and limited.
"Yes! I want to save them!"
Aoko nodded without hesitation.
However, she had no idea what to do when even her grandfather couldn't do anything about it.
"Okay, then let me give it a try."
Yao smiled slightly and said.
Then, he took out the Blood of Principle from his pocket.
In Aoko's eyes, it was a magnificent and dazzling gem; one glance was enough to captivate her.
"Although I can't save its life, I can at least get it moving again... phew..."
Engraving (Route), Connection (set) —”
The radiance activates the magic circuit and the engraving.
In just a few days, he had transformed the Blood of Principle into a simple Mystic Code. Some abilities belonging to True Ancestors could also be activated through this drop of blood.
Every drop of the ancestor's blood is akin to a singularity.
It is a deadly poison that can erode the world.
If the power of the Blood of Principle is fully unleashed, Yao Neng can instantly create a natural barrier covering the town.
Of course, it won't last long.
The principle of blood and radiance are of the same origin, and as a whole, blood can be regarded as an external organ of radiance's magic.
Otherwise, Yao wouldn't be able to manipulate this level of mystery.
This Blood of Principle can only be used by Yao himself; it is a magical artifact unique to him.
"Brother Yao..."
Aoko looked at Yao, whose expression showed recognition.
My heart tightened.
Soon, the magical waves spread out, and the Blood of Principle emitted a blood-red fluctuation.
The energy surged onto the kitten's carcass.
"Meow--"
A meow signaled the magic trick was a success.
The kitten was given a second chance at life and stood up from the ground, nuzzling Aoko's face affectionately.
"It itches so much... Brother Yao, you really brought it back to life!"
"Heh heh, impressive, huh? Don't be so careless in the future. Aoko, you have to take good care of it."
"Yes! I definitely will!"
Aoko's face was beaming with excitement.
His bright, blue eyes conveyed a firm emotion; this seriousness was unlike anything a child could have.
Aoko's round face paired with this serious expression.
Indeed, it looks very cute.
She's clearly a beauty no less stunning than her sister; who knows how many men she'll make regret their fate in the future.
"Let's go home."
Yao couldn't help but pinch Qingzi's little face.
This made Qingzi blush.
As Yao got up to leave with Qingzi, he suddenly felt a warm touch on his left cheek.
Aoko kissed him lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"Brother Yao is much more capable than Grandfather! Also, Brother Yao helped me make up for my mistakes! I will find a chance to thank Brother Yao later!"
Aoko blushed and uttered those words.
Then, they disappeared without a trace.
Even her thanks were delivered in a very formal and meticulous manner; she is truly a serious and responsible young woman.
"It's 1979 now, right...? How come even little girls this age are so..."
Yao touched his left cheek, unsure of what to say.
I still feel a great sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, she was still thinking about Aoko's shy appearance just now, and thought she was so cute that it was unfair.
"Pah, what am I thinking?"
Yao slapped himself on the left cheek.
Furthermore, they kept hypnotizing themselves in their minds.
He only saw Aoko as a younger sister.
Whenever he reached this stage of self-hypnosis, a voice in his mind would rise up, telling him to succumb to his nature.
Our family and the main family have been separated for hundreds of years.
The blood ties between the two families have become so distant that it's hard to believe.
The only thing that comes close is the surname.
So what's there to worry about? At most, it's just a matter of waiting for Aoko to grow up.
"Alas... what a sin..."
Yao sighed wearily.
Then, he planned to catch up with Qingzi, who had run ahead, so that she wouldn't get lost in the mountains.
"To recreate a creature that should have died as a familiar, and then give it the ability to act. In terms of magical results, it's quite impressive."
Just then, Yao heard a familiar voice.
The old man emerged from the woods.
"However, the essence of this behavior is deception."
You did not resurrect the cat; instead, you used its flesh and blood to create a new life.
".....grandfather."
Yao never expected that Aozaki's grandfather would be here.
Unexpectedly, he actually watched the whole thing.
"Yes, it was indeed a deception. Compared to the boring world that my grandfather talked about, I value the present moment more."
If I had the ability to handle the tragedy before me, I would have to act. Even if it meant trampling on the lives that had been lost.
Yao met Aozaki's grandfather's gaze.
Even after experiencing the terror of the Fifth Law, he had no intention of making any compromises or avoiding it.
For Yao, there are only two options.
Those are the people he cares about, and the people he doesn't care about.
The choice between the two is self-evident.
For Yao, using the kitten's remains to help Aoko recover from her grief was a no-brainer.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the cat's value to Yao is limited to this.
