Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

But in the face of a force as vast, endless and unfathomable as the sea of ​​stars, this is nothing but the barking of a defeated dog.

"boom--!"

Flashes of light that seemed to burn fell from great heights, appearing everywhere, like illusory and unpredictable sun flames.

The bright red marks tore through the severed fragments of space bit by bit, as if an invisible bloody mouth was biting it fiercely, and there were jagged void faults everywhere.

The world seemed to be shattered like a mirror. Facing the red light that seemed to swallow up everything in the universe and surged out like a falling star, rising like the boundless sea, it inevitably fell into ruin.

There were incalculable inky scratches everywhere, their number was too numerous to count, their shapes were too fine to be discerned, swallowing up and obscuring the light, leaving only a dark scene, and only the terrifying roar continued to bloom.

Roland exhaled a breath of foul air and let out a hearty sigh.

"This power should be enough to prove that I have grown."

He looked with satisfaction at the turbine-like atmosphere that was bound by solidified wind pressure between heaven and earth, and the chaotic scene that was deeper than death and darkness, dividing the world into two halves and constantly crumbling into more pieces.

Under this all-out attack, even the corrections of the world itself were useless. If this was not the Kingdom of Shadows but a planet, then judging from the crack that was far deeper than the distance to the Earth's core, it would be natural for the planet to be destroyed.

Compared with the previous sacredness of the at force field that could not be interfered with, it was a fusion of human evil, divine power, and Roland's pure power. After the reversal, it could no longer be called a sacred miracle.

But - the destruction of chaos.

There is no so-called purpose or concept. It is simply to vent its strength and create a hell where no living creature can survive and any tangible object should be shattered.

"Although there is no harm in listening to the words of elders, such a statement is still biased."

Thinking of Scathach's previous teachings, Roland suddenly laughed.

"Not pure enough? That's just an anchor point used to establish its own status within the system constructed by rules. In the face of real power,

——Purity, is it useful? "

The so-called immortality, no matter how fancy it sounds, is impossible to have no effect at all as long as the equivalent is sufficient.

Roland's attack was intended to destroy the Shadow Kingdom and Scathach together.

In this situation, he wanted to see how the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows would break the impasse. Suddenly, Roland turned his head and stared seriously at the largest piece of void in front of him, and the enchanting and dangerous purple figure that pierced out from it and tore the void apart.

"That's a powerful rebuttal..."

The moment Scathach appeared, the largest plates of the Shadow Kingdom, which had been shattered into pieces, actually produced invisible connections. Although they could no longer be combined again, the broken concept was incredibly condensed again.

"If this was on a planet, if this wasn't the Shadow Kingdom, this would have been an undisputed victory... I would have fallen into a deep sleep for countless years after this blow, and the legend of the Shadow Kingdom would probably have been erased from history, but... it's great to bet everything on this."

Scathach's face had an almost sickly flush, and her high-pitched voice was filled with excitement and fear.

How long has it been?

How long had it been since she felt this kind of fear that made her tremble all over and was running back and forth on the brink of death?

The passion generated by battle and the fear caused by danger are the driving force that has allowed Scathach to come this far, to keep improving, and to cross the abyss.

Scathach stepped into the void, and in her confused eyes the only thing left was the figure she admired.

This feeling was so wonderful that she couldn't help but want to sink into it.

That's right, soon, that truly pleasurable desire and satisfaction will come upon her.

The time of the barrier is on the verge of breaking, the foundation of the outer world is shattered, and this cursed body may collapse at any time.

But at least, she finally found her opponent, got rid of her status as a bystander, and walked step by step towards the path she expected.

"Is this your backup plan?"

Roland looked calm, as if nothing could change his expression.

So, he just smiled as gentle and indifferent as always.

"What a reasonable, yet unexpected answer. Is there a second stage for a being like you?"

"Only until you are killed."

Scathach smiled beautifully. "Thousands of years ago, this blow that could destroy the planet would undoubtedly kill me. But now, the Shadow Kingdom is just the name of this area while it is still inside the planet. Now, this is the outside of the world."

The outside of the world.

In Type-Moon, which usually refers to the world in terms of planets and the universe, there is a distinction between the outside and inside of the world. The outside is the present world, which is fixed and is the continuation of human history so far, and the absolute future development path.

On the inside, on the back of the planet, is where those mysterious creatures that have not yet faded and have lost their living space live.

But even though there is only one word difference, the meaning outside the world is completely different.

It refers to those chaotic areas that have deviated from the timeline and even the single world.

Just like the Throne of Heroes, because they are located outside the world, even if there is a major crisis that will lead to the destruction of the world, they will still be independent and not interfered with.

The same is true for the reason why Chaldea still does not affect the summoning of heroic spirits in the future when humanity is burned. It itself represents the only way to the vortex of origin. This is also the wisdom of Scahana in ascending the abyss, and the origin of the setting that is called graduation from the world.

In the distant past, she was still bound by the planet, but now, the Kingdom of Shadows has become one of the concepts outside the world with her, not bound by time and space. It is a tangible object that symbolizes her transformation from a flag to a chess player, and it is proof of her top authority in the entire world.

Although it may not be as strong as the Throne of Heroes, it can only break it into pieces, not destroy it.

"However, as you said, I am just an individual, not truly indestructible. As long as you continue to launch attacks like the ones you just launched, in the face of true power, I will perish along with this country."

Scathach looked at Roland with longing. "But on the other hand, before the Kingdom of Shadows is shattered, I will become more dangerous, more deeply integrated with the outside world, and become the true queen of the Kingdom of Shadows."

"You don't have to try to destroy this world anymore, because with the next strike, one of us is bound to be destroyed. Next, it will be the final fight!"

Scathach's tone became a little anxious, and her hand holding the magic spear loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened. At this moment, she was as charming and gentle as the girl before she confessed her love.

"Let's decide the real victory or defeat! I can already feel it. Now is the moment of destiny!"

"It's not surprising that you, who can reach the abyss, can feel this, but there is one thing I need to correct you about. From the moment I shattered the Kingdom of Shadows..."

Roland smiled slightly. The previous attack was not easy for him either. As Scathach said, he would have to go through a tough fight to win next time.

But he remained calm and composed, looking completely different from the excited Scathach.

"——The winner has already been decided."

The moment Roland finished speaking, Scathach subconsciously turned her head, as if she had sensed something, and looked at the Kingdom of Shadows that was being torn apart around her.

Suddenly, she showed a stunned expression.

In the violent environment where even heroic spirits have a hard time surviving, the powerful familiars that can only be considered as Noble Phantasms at best, and the ninjas of various shapes and forms, have completely ignored the dangers around them and are walking steadily in all directions.

And behind them is the ultimate darkness that is swallowing up even the outside world itself, covering everything.

Chapter 260 The Queen of the Shadow Kingdom

In today's Type-Moon world, Roland cannot find his own weaknesses.

Just as he called himself a wish-making machine, he could accomplish almost everything that could be done according to common sense. But even so, in his usual performance, Roland still found many shackles of his own.

They do not come from any fate, or the constraints of the world, but from Roland himself.

Simply put, it is the lack of equipment.

In the past few adventures, Roland has constantly made contracts with dangerous spirits and moved forward at the risk of having his personality rewritten. This is the choice he made in order to survive, to see higher, and to gain an eternal sense of security.

Abandoning the concept of human beings, he became an evil dragon bred from the world, a demon in charge of the original energy. Abandoning the concept of an evil dragon, he integrated his soul and divine power into one body, completely erasing the distinction between races and becoming a demon who would be born before he was born. god.

From magic to true ether, and then to divine power, from the mastermind to the savior, and then to the man of destiny who touches heaven, as an individual, Roland has almost no weaknesses in a broad sense, and is close to perfection from concepts to energy.

Even the planet itself fears his power.

But even if he can directly destroy planets, stop time, and travel through the world, if he wants to move to another parallel world line or do something, there is still a certain process.

In some ways, Aika Sajo and Shikigen are even more versatile than him, although their energy levels are no match for Roland.

This is also the most crucial step for Roland to become a true god.

The understanding and connection with the world.

Roland, who can already stop time with his bare hands, tear apart space, and see the flow and composition of elements, has a full understanding of the objective world, and - he has become the key to the direction of the world line.

But this still does not change the fact that he exists as an individual.

That's right—

Roland's current perfection is still based on being an individual. Even though he has completely integrated his soul, spirit and body, he still cannot understand the concept of the world.

The state in which I am the world, although it can only be regarded as limited omnipotence, is also a part of omnipotence.

Just like an animal, after being given this fate, the burning of human nature was not something Roland needed to worry about. It was more like an instinct and had nothing to do with his current strength, because human evil itself was the end device in the world, and this was its function.

Not to mention Aika Sajo, who is connected to the root. She herself is an invincible player in the game. If she had not been born with a personality because of Roland, and just from the perspective of being omnipotent as a girl, she might be closer to the so-called state of a god than the current Roland.

This would not change even if Roland could resist the attack of the planet-destroying planet and became a symbol of future destiny itself.

This is not a concept, but a difference in state.

To make an analogy, if Type-Moon World is a game, Roland is a big-name player who determines whether the game can continue to operate. Therefore, the operator will be very accommodating to his feelings and give him whatever he wants, whether it is increasing the explosion rate or opening a separate copy, they will try their best to help him do it.

But in this process, although Roland will get what he wants like the protagonist in the story, he can only passively wait for the operator's operating system to produce such changes.

But the fundamental difference is that they are at a higher level than the operators, and are administrators who maintain the operation of the server. They can do whatever they want by simply modifying the data.

How to change this situation, Roland also struggled for a long time, but the existence of Scathach gave him an idea.

"The so-called long steps to godhood are essentially the process of changing one's connection with the world, thereby achieving the so-called transcendence. For an individual, it means to separate oneself from the world and have the possibility of touching the vortex of origin. This is also the reason why you think you can fight me even if your individual energy level is not as good as mine. But as long as this point is eliminated, our competition will become a simple strength competition."

Roland suddenly laughed and gently raised his hand.

"Look... the winner has been decided, right?"

The blood-red shadow spread wildly around him.

This is a manifestation of the erosion of the concept of the Shadow Kingdom, which is located outside the world.

Then, the vague blood-red shadow gradually swallowed up the void, wiping out the shattered matter, leaving only a dark nothingness.

The spider-web-like cracks in the surrounding space suddenly stopped and became as smooth as new. This was not because it was being repaired, but rather that the original layer of the world was being covered.

"The so-called authority outside the world is essentially a modifier," Roland said with a frivolous smile, "It can make the world itself abnormal by modifying the rules and making it appear. It's really useful."

These few calm and simple words made Scathach feel deeply oppressed.

Her power is growing stronger, but this is not a good thing, it is just a simple expansion.

This is a sign that the Shadow Kingdom has no place left and can only merge with her completely in order to preserve its foundation.

Roland is an existence beyond the timeline, which Scathach has long understood, but how did this force that erodes the outside of the world appear out of thin air?

The reason why the Shadow Kingdom can become a part of the outside world is that it has grown together with Scathach and separated from the planet to become a concept beyond authority. The difficulty of cultivating such an existence is basically equivalent to creating history that should have been pruned and letting it replace the original main branch.

But Roland easily took out something more powerful than the Kingdom of Shadows, which had accompanied her growth until now and even had no power of restraint, and was of the same category as the Throne of Heroes.

"Bang——!!!"

Accompanied by a sound like a balloon exploding, nothing related to the Kingdom of Shadows could be seen except for the faint wailing of dead souls and the spreading deathly aura from Scathach.

Instead, the spreading darkness began to have substance, producing pitch-black true ether, which turned into a form that flowed like water, allowing some life to begin to be born with it, just like a new world.

And every bit of power in this world is directed toward the young man in the sky with black hair, red eyes, and a playful smile on his fair face, with an attitude of admiration and attachment.

"Now, this is my home ground, although it is also the Kingdom of Shadows. So, don't you want to comment on it? This belongs to me... the Kingdom of Shadows."

The atmosphere fell into silence.

As a warrior, he naturally has the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, as well as the wisdom to control it.

But now, it continued to impact Scathach's will, making this queen, who would never bow to anyone, feel like retreating for the first time.

This was more terrifying than any disaster she had experienced in her long life. It was a true life-and-death crisis.

Even the spear in her hand, which had defeated countless enemies, was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Scathach couldn't help but feel a little amused and confused. Her mood was very complicated. She didn't know whether she should be happy that her wish had come true, or sad about her own powerlessness.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and then she solemnly raised the magic spear again.

"What a brilliant plan! I originally thought you were only planning to use the princess who was blinded by love to complete yourself, and to achieve another path of transcendence through other terminal devices. But it turns out that the power outside a single world is not enough for you, so you plan to do both?"

Roland nodded unequivocally, his ruby ​​eyes showing frank appreciation.

But this time, there was no evil thought in his gaze, as if he was appreciating a beautiful work of art.

"I'm just going with the flow. When the objects that can be used as references have already transcended this universe, it's only natural for a greedy and evil guy like me not to let go of the precious samples."

Roland suddenly smiled provocatively.

"Besides, there is only one master of the Shadow Kingdom in this world. Even if I don't do this, you will come to our door when you realize the Shadow Kingdom has appeared, because we are the same kind, but I am just a little more twisted."

In a sense, Scathach's way of survival is very similar to Roland's.
