"Of course I have completed it. Otherwise, how can I control such a huge destiny? However, this idea is correct. In a fixed destiny, I am the only one who can change it. In order to prevent regrets, it is reasonable to leave a back door for myself."

Roland sneered.

"I see... You are from the future, right? You traveled through time to the past to start the ritual."

Thinking of the previous banknotes, Aozaki Aoko understood what he meant.

In short, it is a logical contradiction, a word game that can only be achieved by miracle.

Roland appeared in the future, and there was no trace of him in the past, but the ritual was completed in the past. From the moment Roland was not yet born, a full cycle had been completed and reached its conclusion.

So are the future Roland and the past Roland on the same parallel line? Therefore, the timeline can only admit this paradox and believe that Roland is everywhere, so that is why such a performance occurs.

Roland acknowledged Qingzi's guess with a smile, but did not explain in detail. The key to this vicious circle is that he is a visitor from another world, which is why he can complete this paradox. Otherwise, it is just simple time travel and cannot overload the universe's calculations.

"So...according to normal age, aren't you younger than me?"

"This is a new universe now, and the current me is the base point, so this question is invalid. Besides, is this the key point?"

Roland's mouth twitched as he looked at Qingzi, whose eyes suddenly lit up. He did not quite understand the other person's train of thought.

"…This is not enough," Qingzi suddenly put on a serious look, as if realizing his own gaffe.

"What have you done that can make the universe itself interfere even with me, carrying the hope of the future?"

Aozaki Aoko narrowed her eyes. After being separated from the timeline, although the influence still existed, she had more or less regained some rationality.

"You were clearly ready to perish along with the entire universe before, why are you doing this now?"

Roland chuckled and walked over to Qingzi.

"Let me answer your second question first. First of all, you have to understand that the universe I exist in and the universe that belongs to me are two completely different things."

"As for how I did it, why don't you come and see for yourself?"

Having said that, Roland suddenly pressed Qingzi's shoulders, revealed a mysterious smile, and made her body fall suddenly downwards. Then, the figures of the two disappeared directly in this timeline like illusory water waves.

Such a sudden movement undoubtedly alarmed a familiar that was hiding behind the door of the mansion and had been paying attention to this side.

"Miss Alice! Miss Alice!"

The blue robin called out the nickname that only those close to it knew, and its chirping voice quickly echoed in the quiet mansion, causing Kuonji Arizuma, who was checking the number of tea sets, to frown slightly.

The familiar created from the famous nursery rhyme "Who Killed the Mockingbird" not only has a certain degree of self-intelligence and can judge the timing and actively exert its own effects, but also has the excellent function of suffering on behalf of the caster. However, this overly noisy and stupid personality really gives the witch a headache.

"Stop, Robin. If you break anything, you'll be put in detention. Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the outside and notify me if anything unusual happens? What happened?

The girl asked coldly to the robin, who was drooping his wings and looking listless because of the scolding.

When this incident was mentioned, the robin, who had just looked calm, seemed to have forgotten his owner's warning and started running around excitedly in the room of the mansion again, telling about the last scene he had just seen.

"I saw Qingzi disappear immediately after being pinned down by him. It must be that man who beat Qingzi to her knees. He must be trying to force her to go back and have sex..."

Knowing that her familiar would not lie to her, the witch was now mentally prepared for Roland's possible absurd behavior, but the amount of information contained in this sentence still made Kuonji Yuzu's face tense.

"……what?"

Chapter 230: Dedicating Qingzi to a Beautiful World

"From the perspective of magic, this is definitely a special seat. How about it? It's my own paradise. Isn't it pretty good?"

Although he looked a little tired, it was hard to hide the satisfaction on Roland's face.

In the future, Qingzi also experienced Roland's boastful words. Every time he teased her, it almost became a fixed routine for him to use such words to appreciate her angry and anxious look.

But now, in front of the Tree of Life, which was shrouded in an eerie silence like a pantomime but also tinged with dazzling colors and shrouded in a dreamy atmosphere, Aozaki Aoko could only grit her teeth.

In the strange two-dimensional plane, the tree of life, woven with mysterious trajectories, is slowly floating in it. The collision of time and space caused waves of rolling water, but regardless of the appearance of such waves, No matter how shaken it is, the tree of life will slowly return to its original state.

Countless futures come together and separate bit by bit.

Because of the different ways of grasping miracles, the world appears very different to different people.

But such a turbid yet sacred essence seems somewhat incompatible with Roland's appearance as an evil beast that blocks out the sky and the sun.

"The so-called fixed future is the same as the encounter between people. Just like gravity, people will be naturally attracted to each other and meet each other. But if we look at it from a higher perspective, aren't the worlds the same?"

Roland said softly.

The ability called the world is not just a switch to stop time. In essence, it gives Roland the possibility to stand on an equal footing with the world itself in advance.

"The branches of countless parallel worlds are caused by the gravity of those newly born possibilities. As the only soul not bound by gravity, I only need to divide my own possibilities among these countless worlds. Can't I let a truly new world be born?"

Aozaki Aoko was speechless.

Being accelerated by Roland, he completely separated from the world called Type-Moon. The new universe has a concept of quantity, which is about half of the original one. However, this is in the case of comparative degree. For individuals, this quantity is meaningless. Anyway, it is infinite and cannot be counted.

"No, the reincarnation cycle has just finished and the new universe has just begun. You may be able to maintain this possibility, but if you continue, you will be swallowed by this infinite universe sooner or later."

She clearly had no intention of speaking for Roland, but whether out of a sense of responsibility, or the admiration brought by defeat, or the slight ambiguity that made the magician feel guilty, Aozaki Aoko anxiously dissuaded Roland.

"There must be a better way. Besides, how can I spread my possibilities..."

"Of course," Roland smiled. "We can do it by relying on the power of the beasts. Although I am the sixth beast, the Crown of Ten Kings is the power born from the womb of all beasts. With it, plus a little help from the world itself, we can do it."

Although beasts can also be called human evil, their powers have in many cases exceeded the scope of human reason and involved even more ambiguous original texts. That is why they will not be weakened outside the alien planet and can retain the power of rules.

At least now that Roland has seen the root form, he can be sure that the power called the womb of all beasts comes from a deeper place, from the end of all things. If this is the case, gathering the power and status of beasts may bring him more surprises.

"As for the fact that I will be eaten by the universe, you can rest assured, Aoko. You are just a magician born in an era without me."

Roland playfully stroked the gorgeous silver ring that was sandwiched between the spirit and the material, but it still did not leave his finger, and made a mocking sound.

"After converging the universe, I felt that superimposing infinite possibilities on individuals was indeed somewhat restrictive. What is truly frightening is my talent."

Even though he had obtained Heaven's Manufacturing and completed the reincarnation of the universe, Roland realized this when the paradox of the timeline was established.

Powerful forces are often accompanied by risks and unlimited possibilities, and may ultimately lead to self-destruction.

"Because of this, I am actually worried about whether half of the universe will be able to bear my possibilities in the future. To be honest, even if I don't perform the ritual, my possibilities will continue to multiply. In the end, sooner or later, I will become a monster like you, a monster that belongs to the rules."

Faced with Roland's abrupt confession and the indescribable change before, Aozaki Aoko looked at Roland silently.

Roland was right. Before, he was the kind of person who exuded an alien aura but had a hint of humanity. But now, although there is no sense of alienness at all and he looks like a normal human being, that familiar humanity is hidden even deeper.

"The second stage of the ritual has been completed. I have written my own record into the root itself and achieved the first cause. When the result is completed, this future will become the true path forward for the world."

"So, the restraining force, or even fate itself, will allow your plan to go ahead, because no matter what, after the cause is established, whether you succeed or fail, even in the worst case scenario, the universe will open up a new future, right?"

"That's right. Wouldn't you find it strange?" Roland paused for a moment. "Facing an enemy like me, relying on the Fifth Magician alone is not like the style of the Suppression Force. Even if they don't interfere directly, some of the Seven Knights of the Crown will come."

The so-called restraining force is itself just a spokesperson for a specific thing. After the Root Style showed goodwill to him, Roland knew that this plan would definitely go smoothly.

Even in the clash of world wills between righteousness and evil, which had clear camps, there was also the logic of the world wanting to upgrade. As long as Roland obeyed this, he would not worry that he would overturn like a priest who was killed by pure oxygen because he stopped and accelerated halfway when changing his fate.

"Before you reach your goal, what will you do with the time you have to spend on this long journey? Will the bias written into your fate not be a burden to you?"

“The essence of heaven is to gamble with fate, but for me, fusion is a more appropriate description.

At this point, Roland's tone was a little subtle. Although his imaginary enemy has always been the restraining force and even the world logic of Type-Moon itself, the ceremony of going to heaven does not distinguish between friend and foe. It is obtained from the soul of the Holy Lord and the black energy from the world of Jackie Chan Adventures itself. It is also an irresistible fate.

In fact, it has played an indispensable role in making it to where we are today, whether it is using various coincidences to promote Roland's plan, obscuring the fate of the original work, or even reminding Roland of good and bad luck, allowing him to always quickly insert the plot at key nodes.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe her as a worried mother, but the fact that she is a double-edged sword cannot be ignored. All her actions are for sublimation, and Roland only has this honor as the only spokesperson. Unscrupulous abuse will sooner or later lead to trouble.

Therefore, Roland also found a very rough solution.

Since the logic of the black energy is for the world, then wouldn’t it be fine for me to become the world?

It carries the future of all the worlds on its own. Once something happens to it, it will directly cause more serious consequences than the burning of humanity to this half-moon world that has already entered the cycle of reincarnation.

What's more, Roland's previous teasing about registering himself was not just a lie. The black energy that was one with him was now also regarded as the administrator of this half of the universe. In this case, they would become a true community of shared destiny, forming the Yin and Yang of the two in one.

Therefore, when Aozaki Aoko was in the material world, she could not feel even a trace of hostility towards Roland, because now the black energy no longer needed to be pretended, and all her doting and protection of Roland was revealed.

In the process of answering Aozaki Aoko's questions, Roland had always been very nonchalant, but the blue magician still rarely lost her words.

What a grand idea of ​​​​hegemony, what an arrogant ambition!

Qingzi gradually realized that Roland's attitude in the ceremony, which was so arrogant that it made people feel tolerant, and so selfish that it made people feel selfless, was the reason why the other party was able to defeat her. However, even if it was because of his original intention to show off to the winner, such a friendly attitude was too generous. He even brought her to the outside of this worldview verification to confirm its authenticity. What on earth did Roland want to do?

Aozaki Aoko was a little confused. Whether it was her sense of responsibility as a magician or her values ​​formed in the past, she would not interfere with Roland's ceremony again. Besides, she was destined to be defeated by Roland anyway, so why bother...

The magician suddenly opened his eyes wide, his blue pupils flashed, and his face quickly turned red.

"You don't plan to..."

"...Oh my, it seems you understand, Aoko. Although the reincarnation has been completed, there is still one last thing that needs to be concluded for the sake of legitimacy."

Roland waved his hand and smiled harmlessly.

But to Aozaki Aoko, these words sounded like a death sentence.

She subconsciously took a step back, took a deep breath, and tried to force Roland back with an extremely cold gaze.

Yes, there is one last job to do on your way to the best possible future.

In the official solution of Type-Moon to change the ending of the future when Roland has not appeared, the fifth magician is an indispensable existence.

Magic is a privilege that only five people have. This is based on the existing foundation. The order of the fifth law also means part of the end. Because of this, the sixth law that has never been born is destined to be born with the premise of breaking the destructive ending determined by the order of the five laws.

As the latest magician who symbolizes the end, Aozaki Aoko plays an indispensable and key role in bringing out the unrealized Sixth Law.

In order to fix this possibility, the world allowed her previous provocation and contact with Roland's ritual.

And her and Roland's next actions will determine whether the possibility of a bright future can become a fixed phenomenon. As for how to achieve this, Aozaki Aoko, who already understands the requirements of Roland's ritual, can only express her warning with her eyes.

"Don't be so fierce... But Aoko is also very cute like this. Maybe this is the best reward for me to complete Made in Heaven."

Roland said something that added fuel to the fire with a smile, and walked towards Qingzi without hesitation.

This made the magician clench her fists subconsciously. She was not restricted now, and this was not the end of the universe. Although she could not win, she was allowed to escape. She could escape from here as long as she moved her hands.

As if he noticed Qingzi's little action, Roland narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If you're planning to give up, it doesn't matter to me... Anyway, as long as the world is mine, whether the future can be saved or not is not a big deal."

After a few seconds, the blue magician gave up resistance.

Chapter 231: Aozaki Aoko's Troubles

Some time has passed since the incident. Under the inertia of reincarnation, most citizens have unconsciously ignored the scene of that day and returned to their normal lives.

Although the New Year is approaching, there are no special changes in Misaki City. Although the weather is getting colder day by day, it snows less often than before.

On such boring days that made people look forward to the holidays and wish tomorrow would come, the sound of the door slamming open in the student union office of Misaki Private High School broke the quiet and heavy atmosphere.

Because it is raining again today, and in order to save electricity, the school has a rule not to turn on the lights during the day.

The office had been dyed dark by the rain.

But even so, the frightened girl still recognized the man who walked in.

After responding faintly, Aozaki Aoko closed the door casually, sat down at the table, supported her cheeks with both hands, and her eyes gradually became empty. It seemed that her main purpose was to escape through this quiet atmosphere.

This action actually stunned Kumari Kinka. As the student council's recorder and good friend of Aozaki Aoko, she had never seen her friend look so distressed in all the time they had spent together.

Although she is often sulking, the person known as Aozaki Aoko always looks decisive and energetic, without any unnecessary movements, moving as fast as the wind and as still as a pine tree.

The way one holds an object, the way one moves through a classroom or corridor, the way one looks back from time to time to check on the people walking with in order to make sure that one is not walking too fast, all these movements are sure to attract attention.

However, putting aside the current aura of Aozaki Aoko that seemed to make the air vibrate with lightning sparks, the violent sense of oppression in those blue pupils alone was enough to make people stay away.

Aoko Aozaki, who can solve everything easily and might turn into a violent wind that overturns the whole school if she fails, is so omnipotent that people think she is a legendary magician or a demon in a painting. He actually showed such a posture.

However, there has been something wrong with Qingzi recently. When she first came to school a few weekends ago, she looked so tired that her legs began to tremble from time to time.

Out of concern for his friend and driven by curiosity, Kumanli Jinlu swallowed and asked tentatively.

"Aoko? Are you still worried about that?"

Not long ago, Aozaki Aoko officially announced her future to them, and she plans to go to London for further studies.

This is not something surprising. After all, in today's world, if you don't plan to pursue further studies, graduating from high school is an important decision that is like a watershed in your life.

But the trouble is, she is worried about her tuition fees.

Studying abroad at present is itself the best proof of economic strength, and in this regard, everyone is still somewhat helpless, not to mention that Qingzi will never accept their help.

"That matter has been resolved...at least for now."

Qingzi put her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache and sighed dejectedly.

After certain things became a foregone conclusion, the magician lady did not intend to escape, but chose to face them bravely, determined to become a better self than before in this chaotic future influenced by Roland.
