Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

“It’s complete.”

Kotomine Kirei nodded slightly and looked at Roland with a serious face.

"Although there are some key conditions that have not yet been pointed out by you, everything else is already clear."

Kotomine Kirei took out the notebook that he treasured like a treasure from his bosom and handed it to Roland respectfully.

"The ritual is already clear..."

Roland was slightly startled, then revealed an expectant expression and opened the notebook in his hand.

Many of them were conditions he was already familiar with, such as the courage to abandon a substitute and the necessary friends. The first one was actually a sentence that was easily overlooked.

'Whatever happens, be proud.'

The so-called Kingdom of Heaven, in addition to the power beyond destiny, also refers to a spiritual realm.

When Roland saw this line of words, a barely perceptible flame flickered in his pupils.

No wonder the so-called growth and trials are also one of the necessary conditions for ascending to heaven. When he was on the ground, if he faced the completion choice between Lilith and Mana Sakuragi, and did not face his own spiritual weaknesses, but chose to use the power of the Key of All Souls to escape, wouldn't he have essentially missed one of the conditions for ascending to heaven?

Thinking about it this way, the fact that the black energy that doted on me so much at that time did not show any unusual movements might be hinting at this point.

After flipping through a few pages, Roland looked up in surprise.

"Are there still thirty-six souls?"

"Yes, a person's soul is about ten grams of matter, which is also the easiest number for humans to divide. In the human soul, it is equally divided into half evil and half good. In order to reach heaven, what is needed is a soul that is 100% evil and has strong mental power and desires."

Kotomine Kirei analyzed.

"Collect thirty-six souls. The total number just implies a circle, which also means a clock. It is just enough to make time go around a circle. Finally, choose the right position, and that's the whole picture of the ceremony. But I still haven't found the answer to how to choose the souls and calculate the position. Please forgive my incompetence."

"It doesn't matter. This isn't something you can find the answer to..."

Roland frowned suddenly, revealing an expression of regret but relief.

At the back of Kotomine Kirei's notes were descriptions of the most crucial item, which was knocking on the gate to heaven, symbolizing secret codes.

Kotomine Kirei said calmly.

"The secret word not only represents the symbol of your experience, but also means the process of implementing your destiny. Therefore, the last secret word is often a more limited word."

"In other words, the last secret word is to let the fate that depends on you reach its peak, like oil boiling over a raging fire, so that you can start the ceremony?"

Roland smiled with interest.

"My last secret word was the Eternal Emperor, so doesn't that mean..."

"You are the king of kings. Everything in the world should belong to you and be under your control." Kotomine Kirei nodded, looking serious: "Rule and conquer everything. Take away the past, present, and future created by the people who are loyal to you. Make them dependent on you and become your property. Make their relationship with you become like a parasitic country that relies on only one person to maintain itself."

“When I have this identity, that’s when the gates of heaven open.”

Roland added solemnly, "It doesn't sound difficult to do."

But after hearing such words, Kotomine Kirei, who had always worshipped Roland as a god, shook his head slightly.

Roland looked at Kotomine Kirei's complicated expression with some surprise, and asked:

"what happened?"

"The secret language itself is to integrate its own records into the so-called void memory, that is, the Akashic Record."

Kotomine Kirei sighed, "Your powerful destiny has been implemented in this world. Even I can feel it, but the quality of one world is not enough to satisfy your needs to ascend to heaven. You must engrave your Akasha Record in the real world."

Roland understood what Kotomine Kirei meant, and also knew why he sighed.

Everything in this world cannot escape the fate of being poisoned by him, but for Type-Moon itself, the quality of a world is nothing to speak of.

As a human evil, he can burn the history of human justice to ashes. As a patron of the black energy, he can create a new future. However, to create a history equal to it out of thin air is not a difficult task.

Unless Roland completely wrote his existence into the record of this universe itself, this would undoubtedly create a paradox.

To achieve this, one needs power of the heavenly level, but Roland needs to go to heaven just to obtain this power.

When Roland realized this situation, he got the answer he wanted most through the wisdom of a thousand people that was also unrivaled in the world.

There is no doubt that because of the gravity brought by its own mass, his Heavenly Ritual is a powder keg that can explode at any time. Once it cannot be controlled and goes out of control, the situation will become very bad.

This was by no means an unfounded worry, but it was not a truly desperate situation either. After all, for Roland, who could connect to infinite dimensions, it made no sense that he couldn't find a suitable method. Moreover, there was a rather stupid solution that had always been in front of him.

"So, Lord Roland," Kotomine Kirei took a deep breath, "please go find your bond. The best way to fight the world is to integrate into the world itself. Your existence means a miracle, so you only need to spread your influence to the fate of the world, and let it in turn become a force to help you ascend to heaven."

…That’s enough.

Roland thought, now that he had a way to solve the problem, what he needed next were specific steps. For example, what could he do to make fate a help?

"Then, what method is the most effective?" Roland showed an interested look.

"The best way is of course to have offspring." Kotomine Kirei said nonchalantly, "They will be the best help at the critical moment."

"Offspring?" Roland's face twitched, and he asked in confusion, "Is it okay to differentiate by yourself?"

Although due to the mixture of various powers, what Roland obtained through the power of the apostles was still only the seeds of the fruit that had not yet reached the realm of God.

But even so, his ability has surpassed the original Adam. The other party can become the source of life and differentiate into new apostles. There is no reason why Roland cannot do it. If he wants, it is not difficult for him to create special new life.

Roland is quite open-minded about this. Dio has also gone around to meet little bread-men for this plan. Giorno, one of the three great war gods of JOJO, is also a product of this plan.

"No." But Kotomine Kirei's ruthless words ended Roland's fantasy, "Offspring are not important. They are just the final result. The mothers who created them are the key objects that need to be carefully considered and carry fate."

Looking at Roland who was getting a little restless, Kotomine Kirei replied: "It doesn't matter if there are no offspring. It is a symbol of a bond, not the only one. This relationship can be called anything, subordinate, friend, partner, or understanding person. As long as you can hold on to those special bonds themselves, that's fine."

"Where's the request?"

Roland couldn't help but sigh and asked.

"Given your personality, you don't necessarily have to look for someone who is evil to the core, but they must be demonic beings. The more abnormal, the better."

Kotomine Kirei provided an example, "In fact, haven't you already gathered such beings unconsciously before?"

"Matou Sakura, Illya, and even Kallen, although they are still very young, their qualities are already outstanding."

Roland hesitated for a while before smiling.

"In other words, in this encounter of searching for bonds, I may be able to find the final answer to the ritual?"

“Heaven’s revelation is revealed in this way.”

During the time when Roland was away, Kotomine Kirei, as a believer, was in the process of searching for the rituals of heaven. Just like the saints in history, he frequently received the voice of "God" when praying.

Even among Heroic Spirits, this is a privilege only available to the Ruler class.

Although the full picture of this power is only the result of the general direction obtained through the vision of fate, and the specific process is unknown, it can also be regarded as official cheating.

“Revelation…”

Roland chuckled and gently spread out his five fingers, as if he was trying to hold something.

Although he is confident in himself, he is not absolutely blind. Even if revelation does not mean an unchangeable future, as long as he knows it, it means he can be prepared.

In this sense, this state can be called a part of heaven.

"Then I'll lend you my blessing."

At the moment the words fell, a suffocating aura emanated from Roland, and his figure disappeared. In the ossuary where the candlelight flickered and the silence had returned, there was only Kotomine Kirei who was still bowing and the disappeared notebook, indicating that the curtain of a ceremony was slowly being opened.

After saying goodbye to Kotomine Kirei and spending some time in Fuyuki City, Roland rushed to Guanfushi City, another main stage where the Type-Moon story takes place, to look for encounters and bonds.

To achieve this condition, given his current nature, he would have to achieve at least one of the so-called indelible bond, the spiritual fusion or the physical fusion.

As for how to get along with these girls who are already evil and will become even more twisted after meeting him, Roland has not figured it out yet.

Although his methods may be different from those of the orthodox protagonist, what he brings should also be considered redemption. Combined with the inherent evil in the hearts of girls who meet the requirements, the relationship should slowly get better... probably.

And Asagami Fujino is one of the candidates who meets the requirements.

"So, for reasons like these, I need everything from you," Roland said comfortingly, looking at Asagami Fujino in front of him.

"I know there are many things you don't understand, but you have no right to refuse anyway, so it's better to accept it quickly."

Roland seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so he quickly added.

"If you feel a little uneasy about becoming friends with a stranger you just met so quickly, I can also provide other options...a loyal dog, a slave, or becoming my property, all of which are negotiable."

How should I put it...the following words seem to be worse than friends.

Asagami Fujino suddenly realized that she might have met a guy who was very powerful in all aspects.

She didn't know how to respond. Everything that happened today, even for Fujino, who was very abnormal, had a bit too much impact. The girl only felt that there was some downtime in her mind.

Asagami Fujino instinctively wanted to refuse or play dumb, to show that she didn't understand, but she still couldn't open her mouth.

She still noticed Roland's eyes at this time.

They are so alien that they are completely different from humans, but they have eyes that are as warm as red gems.

She saw only gentle calmness in those eyes.

Asagami Fujino finally realized the reason why she didn't even have time to refuse and just followed Roland obediently.

The man felt no pity for her and was disgusted by such unnecessary emotions.

He clearly understood everything about himself, but he was still not moved at all, as if the abnormality named Asagami Fujino was essentially the same as the surrounding wind, tonight's rain, and passers-by.

The girl stared blankly at her hand that was constantly in pain, then looked at Roland, who looked serious and enthusiastic as if he was a door-to-door salesman, and the words that came out of his mouth, and finally a ripple was stirred.

"Of course, I'm not a devil. Although you can't refuse, I will still give you the corresponding reward," Roland said and turned his gaze to Asagami Fujino.

"——How about curing all your diseases without leaving any sequelae?"

Chapter 165: Distorted Eyes

To Fujino Asagami, Roland's soft words had a much greater impact than when he killed those bad boys before. She stood there in a daze, her face turned pale, and her originally indifferent expression began to change.

"You mean... my painlessness..."

"Of course, haven't I already proved it?"

Roland smiled and replied that painlessness was a rare genetic mutation.

The so-called pain is essentially a reaction to abnormalities in life activities and a warning to the brain.

Losing the sense of pain means being unable to respond to the body's warnings and avoid danger, and it is easy to go to the extreme of self-destruction.

But Asagami Fujino's illness is a little more special.

"Moreover, you are not suffering from analgesia, but a disease called neuromyelitis optica, which is the cause of your current condition. After all, apart from pain, your other senses are also very weak."

"Neuromyelitis optica?"

Fujino chewed on this unfamiliar word.

"These conditions can also cause vision loss, even blindness, and reduced senses, so your family seemed to think this was a good opportunity to deprive you of your senses with medication."

Asagami Fujino's painlessness is an acquired condition, and the reason for it comes from her original family, the Asagami family.

Although they are somewhat in decline now, in the other world, the four great demon-killing families were once quite famous. Before the rise of the devil, those abnormal people inherited power through their bloodlines and eliminated the demonic nature caused by things like the distortion of nature in order to survive and expand.

But with the progress and standardization of the times, these disasters have become less and less frequent, and the Demon-Traitor Family has gradually lost its place to stay. Those who are unlucky and abnormal like Qiye were directly exterminated, while some survived through timely transformation, like the Ryogi family.

Qianshen was one of the more unlucky families. They failed in the transformation process and were eventually completely replaced by the branch family.

And Asagami Fujino naturally became a victim of this ideological transformation.

Although she was born into a wealthy family and had great talents, her father had a deep aversion to the power flowing in his blood. He rejected any family member with abnormal powers and alienated them as monsters.

This attitude did not spare Asagami Fujino, his daughter who had awakened a terrifying superior power.

In the final analysis, the so-called four great demon-exorcising families, due to their bloodline, can only be said to be about the same as the magicians in terms of values. Even if their values ​​are gradually diluted due to their decline, the latent demonic nature can still make them cruelly do outrageous things to their relatives and descendants.

After becoming aware of Fujino's condition, he deliberately managed to seal away his daughter's powers through sensory deprivation.

This directly led to her forming a defective personality and her subsequent tragic and unfortunate life.

After the decline of the Asagami family, Asagami, as a branch family, naturally welcomed this decision and continued to behave in this way.

"You mean...father?"

Asagami Fujino's expression was a little shaken. Even for her, as an abnormal person, it was incredible to hear such news.

"Well, that should be it. Your stepfather and father have maintained this behavior anyway. After all, you have excellent eyes."

Roland saw Asagami Fujino's confusion.

"That is the power of the Mystic Eye of Distortion. It can distort things without touching them, no matter if they are organic or inorganic. If your cognition is a little better, you can even distort the base of an invisible thing like a barrier. It can be called a nemesis. If we judge by level, it should be gem level."
