Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

This is a world of love that has ceased the cycle of reincarnation, and has abandoned the temptation of depravity that leads to enlightenment.

My body and universe are overflowing with desire and love, and all afflictions will end.

Greed, sluggishness, worries, leaks...

Everything returns to the Bodhi tree.

—A world of love, a burning universe!

In an instant, accompanied by a soft singing with a peculiar rhythm, vibrant colors instantly covered the entire world where the three of them were. The originally solid earth transformed into boundless deep space and a pure sky, presenting the vast and desolate scenery of the profound universe.

And figures, some frowning, some smiling, some lying down, some standing, some sad, some happy, differentiated and merged from Sakura Tohsaka, like stars drifting and filling the universe.

The infinite universe and infinite love are indistinguishable; resisting the flames of corruption is futile.

This is love that fills the world, encompassing everything in the mortal realm under one's own will, making it a private possession to be played with at will.

Only by severing all worries and thoughts, drowning in the pleasure of sensory overload and the stripping away of the five senses, can one attain eternal peace; this seems to be the only destination of life.

In fact, in response to the desires and troubles of the many humans living in the world, Kama/Mara's appearance and abilities originally possessed a high level of diversity. Furthermore, by using the divine concept of "parameneutics" and the infinite nature of the universe, this diversity was deliberately sublimated in a more concrete form.

This is the power to approach and indulge the desires and troubles of each individual, leading them to ruin. This is the theorem of the "fully corresponding self," which can be freely defined and exists as countless as the stars. In other words, Kama/Mara, as a beast, is an infinite existence in her universe.

Therefore, the God of Love is merely a false name, a fallen deity created to save humanity from a great calamity. Its name is Beast III/L. One aspect of the seven human evils, a beast possessing the principle of [desire]—the Sixth Desire Realm, the Demon King Mara!

At this moment, human evil is rampant!

Instantly, in the vast universe, countless avatars, some holding flowers and bows and arrows, some holding treasure bottles and iron pestles, some holding spears and swords, some forming hand seals, and their bodies transformed into flying figures... a thousand people, a thousand forms, ten thousand images and ten thousand methods, all launched an attack on Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka, who were surrounded in the center.

There is nowhere to escape, and no way to resist!

Faced with crisis, Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka, standing side by side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, exchanged a glance, and found a common answer in each other's eyes.

Only stars can obliterate stars;

Only the universe can fill the universe;

Only a more perfect goddess can stand against the ultimate demon king!

At the same time, Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka clasped hands, no longer resisting the laws of this world, their divine cores resonating and harmonizing as they closed their eyes and chanted together.

"Spirit Origin Galaxy, open!"

"The temple of Balma'ana, appear!"

In an instant, the boundless universe, with its twinkling stars, transformed the previously obscured brilliance into an ancient galaxy, a majestic temple, like the crown of a goddess. Wherever the light reached, whether it was swords and spears, laughter and anger, or tender caresses and whispers, all vanished into nothingness.

This is impossible! Impossible!

The lustful beast with a halo above its head gazed at the vast emptiness that suddenly appeared in the center of the universe. An ominous premonition arose in its heart, and it couldn't help but shake its head in astonishment, its face full of disbelief.

I can't lose to you! I can't lose to you forever!

Sakura Tohsaka roared silently in anger, immediately drawing her bow and nocking an arrow, frantically pouring divine power into it, and the light of the void merged into one, forming a desolate and eerie glow.

The bow of sugarcane, the arrow of flowers, now bloom in the empty sky. This is the end of my burning agony, the abode of the bodyless god. I vow to sever all afflictions; let them slumber infinitely within me—holding love yet withering, without attachment!

Die! Die! Die!

All the girl's anger and resentment transformed into an arrow piercing the universe, intending to burn everything to ashes.

At this very moment, the opposing figures at the center of the universe continue to chant.

"The desolate wilderness, the crown of light..."

"Cold-blooded 1, frivolous 2, transcendent 3..."

"Its origin is extremely small. It expands to infinity."

"Everything is contained within my heart, everything adorns my star ring."

The chanting paused, and the two goddesses suddenly opened their eyes, looking at the annihilating arrow of destruction that had obliterated everything. The vast divine will that merged into the deep space formed visible ripples that spread out and washed over the boundless universe. The ancient will, passing through the endless tide of love and desire, illuminated the deepest darkness of the void.

“—Edin Shugurra Quasar!”

"—A crown that shines in the primordial universe!"

At the same time, two figures, their hands pressed together like opposing sides of all things, chanted in unison, and merged into one amidst the shimmering starlight, transforming into a torrent of starlight that expanded infinitely.

『Edin Shugurra Quasar』

In Sumerian Akkadian, Edin means grassland or plain. It is said to be the etymological source of the word Eden in the Old Testament.

Shugurra is the crown of Idine. It was given to her by the goddess Ishtar when she entered Idine. Quasar is a modern astronomical term. It means quasar, which is located in a region of space far from Earth and emits intense light, so it is called the "brightest celestial object".

We are fallen morning stars, who once possessed the brilliance of the universe.

We, too, control our own world, our own divine realm, named Eden, named Purgatory, named Paradise Lost.

The ethereal universe, the radiant Milky Way.

Perhaps, before this more ancient universe where "humans exist as humans," before mammals came into existence on Earth, the goddesses worshipped in the prehistoric ancient civilizations of the universe were still them.

Perhaps people don't have the concept of faith, and the word "goddess" represents "the cosmos where life can exist".

Perhaps, although it is impossible to determine whether the concept acquired form or the way of life transformed into a concept, Ishtar Astari Ereshkigal in the primordial universe became the 'humanoid galaxy'.

Perhaps, Professor Tokiomi Tohsaka, a scholar who happened to discover the Goddess's core, raised her as the "Good Half" and, after his death, entrusted his daughter's future to a trustworthy assistant, a wise and rational serpent.

Even if I could teach her the goodness described in textbooks, (because she is a smart child) she would immediately see through its hypocrisy. Putting aside the fact that I am by her side, she might eventually get tired of kindness and turn back to her original evil.

But when she saw that Jane, a person who is essentially good and consistent in her actions, would find the truth step by step, but at the cost of causing destruction and chaos to those around her, and realized that good and evil are not two separate things, then at least she wouldn't degenerate into pure evil.

Just as the professor predicted, with the snake's company and guidance, the goddess did not fall into evil, but instead grew into a healthy and strong bounty hunter who, although somewhat irritable and shrewd, was willing to fight for the weak and oppressed.

Born as a goddess, raised as a human, and awakened as a servant.

She is both a desperate outlaw and a righteous heroine.

They would proudly acknowledge that their good deeds were "right" and secretly rejoice in them.

They will hostilely label an individual's misdeeds as "ugly" and openly condemn them.

Perhaps, in another unknown world, they share such a fate and such experiences.

In the silent murmur, amidst the convergence and weaving of countless rays of light, a goddess whose eyes reflected the Milky Way, whose hands plucked stars, whose body was composed of countless celestial bodies and stretched for billions of miles, filled the universe and encompassed all things. Her golden eyes coldly looked down upon the countless tiny lives beneath her, as insignificant as ants, and a hint of mockery curled at the corners of her lips.

Well, this is a story we spent all night coming up with.

So, witness this universe, this primordial hell!

Buzz buzz!

In an instant, rings woven from stars overlapped and surrounded the goddess of the universe, successively shooting out blazing arcs of light that pierced through the galaxy, directly colliding with the annihilation arrow that ignited the world and burned down the stars.

In an instant, the two collided, the universe collapsed rapidly, and the spatial nodes instantly turned into pitch-black voids. Countless stars and countless incarnations were swallowed up, and in the end, even light and color could not escape. The entire universe beneath the feet of the goddess and the demon king was desolate and lifeless.

"boom!"

When the central void was compressed to its limit and suddenly exploded, endless streams of matter and energy beams shot wildly in all directions, distorting and shattering everything, and turning all things into nothingness.

"boom!"

"boom!"

At the same time, the two disheveled figures coughed up blood and flew backward from the endless darkness, crashing into the light wall that resembled a chalk fortress.

"Crack!"

In an instant, the holy spear Rungomminiad, which was inserted into the base of the central statue, trembled with a mournful cry. The light patterns on the spear shaft all cracked and dimmed. The Tower of the End, which was originally anchored in space and divided the battlefield, also collapsed and shattered in an instant, revealing figures locked in a fierce battle.

Among these heroic spirits fighting to the death, the enemy swordsman Attila and our imposter Samael, who had somehow moved to the top of the castle and were facing each other from afar, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Because, even now, they are spotless, with no trace of a fierce battle, and they seem to be standing too close to each other.

At that moment, Darius, who was watching the battle from the castle balcony, seemed to have thought of something. His pupils contracted sharply, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately roared.

"Come back! Protect His Highness!"

Immediately, the two puppets, having received the order, quickly withdrew and ran towards the castle.

I XXX…!

Seeing his perfect plan to raid the enemy's base fail, Samael stiffly looked back at the two goddesses who had slid down the shattered light wall, their bodies split in two, and were now foolishly gloating in the joy of victory. His eyes were filled with grief and indignation.

Did I owe you two something in my past life?! I told you to block people, not to demolish my Tower of the End!

Heavens above, what are you doing?! Damn it! Why do you always fail me at the crucial moment?!

Can't you just let me have some peace of mind just this once?! Just this once!

"Stop them!"

While swallowing his bitterness and complaints, the ancient snake roared and decisively changed his attack from a surprise attack to a full-scale assault.

Chapter 215 I'd rather beat you with tempura than beat you with a slap! (4.1k)

At the same time, Attila, who was in mid-air, immediately turned around, gripped the seven-colored greatsword in reverse, raised the hilt high, and roared solemnly.

"Star Emblem, activate! Mars, link! Two seconds until launch..."

Instantly, a scarlet beam of light shot from the gem at the top of the sword hilt toward the sky, piercing through the clouds. Under its mysterious rhythm, several colorful magic circles were formed one after another, converging into a teardrop-shaped halo of light, which kept turning.

As two Ainsworth dolls leaped into the air from the courtyard, Attila immediately turned his sword and swung the blade forward with one hand.

"—Tears of the Star, Sword of the War God!"

In an instant, a dazzling array of starlight, nearly a hundred meters in diameter, descended from the sky like a heavy hammer falling from the air, striking Beatrice and Angelica, who were rushing towards them, with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the two, caught off guard, crashed heavily to the ground like falling meteorites. A powerful shockwave spread outwards, lifting layers of marble floorboards, followed by violent tremors and shaking.

The sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.

The enemy's Saber has actually defected to the enemy!

Just as the entire arena fell silent, Samael clenched his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.

hum!

Instantly, the sacred spear Rungomminiad, which was stuck in the marble bedrock in the center of the courtyard, emitted a cold, solemn tremor, turned into a silver stream of light, and was drawn back into the wielder's palm.

The ancient serpent withdrew its right hand to gather strength, and the divine power within its body surged forth, pouring into the holy spear like a flood.

"Holy Lance, compress..."

As the Holy Lance's power surged to its peak, culminating in a dazzling light emanating from its tip, Samael solemnly invoked the true name of his Noble Phantasm, and lunged towards the ancient castle balcony, attempting to reawaken the alluring figure of the Ainsworth Castle's magical barrier, and struck forward with a powerful arm strike.

"—Shining in the Spear of the End (Rhongomyniad)!"

In an instant, a stream of blazing white silver light surged forward, and wherever it passed, flowers, trees, bricks, tiles, and sculptures all crumbled and dissolved in this dazzling, cold light.

At this moment, Pandora, busy repairing the Ensworth Magic Array and trying to turn the tide, has no way to avoid the situation in her haste.

"[I am the bone of my sword]

This body was born of the sword.

However, just as Pandora was about to be engulfed by the silver light, a petite figure wearing a red and black cloak suddenly leaped out from the shadows, blocking the witch of calamity. She raised her right hand high, her five fingers spread forward, and solemnly roared.

"—Rho Aias (Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Sky)!"

Instantly, a rich, dark red magic surged from that slender arm, condensing into a four-petal shape in front of her fingers and palm, directly meeting the surging silver light.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The two forces clashed, unleashing a series of thunderous explosions that unleashed their immense power in all directions. The entire castle was as if it were being bombarded by heavy bombs; the walls on both sides crumbled, the pillars of the building broke, and the once magnificent and elegant Gothic architecture was transformed in the blink of an eye into a dilapidated building on the verge of collapse.

Even so, amidst the pile of broken bricks and tiles, the balcony shrouded in pink, light-like petals still retains its original appearance.

However, the original four pink, light-like petals were reduced to just one in the blink of an eye.

The chocolate-skinned girl blocking the way was kneeling with her knees bent. The capillaries in her outstretched right hand were bursting and trembling uncontrollably. She could only barely support herself by raising her right wrist with her left arm.

"Click..."

But in the face of this ever-flowing stream of silver light, the last flickering, light-like petal quickly became cracked and was on the verge of falling apart.

Chloe glanced back at Pandora, who was still struggling to restore the magic base behind her, gritted her teeth, turned her head forward, and her golden-red eyes reflected the blazing light that was about to break through the defense and pour down. A trace of determination appeared on her pale face.

No! I can't let you hurt Mom!

That frail little body withstood the pressure, stood up abruptly, let out a roar of anger, and at the same time, her free left hand immediately crushed a green jade-shaped cube that she had taken out of her bosom.

Glistening dust drifted and fell upon Chloe, quickly being absorbed by her, causing her nearly depleted magic power to surge forth once more.
