Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

Aiwass nodded: "What about his code name?"

The key to defeating the weak with the strong lies in the use of intelligence.

In such a plan to plot against the devil with one's own body, hiding one's true name is already a basic operation.

Due to his own preferences, Aleister's naming in this area often has a strong religious style.

For example, Aiwass, who is Academy City's top secret, is referred to as a dragon.

If you know something about the legend of the Cross, you will easily think of the angels who are closely related to the battle with the evil dragon.

But apart from this meaning, in the ritual theory of the Golden Dawn series, the dragon is an animal that belongs to the apex existence, and is generally used to refer to the existence above the curtain.

This just corresponds to the fact that although Aiwass claims to be an angel, his nature is far beyond the conventional understanding of the nature of a Christian angel.

Regarding this question, a few small bubbles appeared at the corners of Aleister's mouth.

"No matter it is a meaningless question, whether it is description or essence, the only word that can correspond to him is this word.

--{dragon}. "

The name is exactly the same as Aiwass's code name.

As for the fact that his title was used for the second time, Aiwass's face, which looked like a flower in the fog, also evoked a smile.

She was certain that Aleister used such a title to describe Roland only partly out of confidentiality considerations.

When the enemy went through all kinds of troubles to gain access to the most confidential information in Academy City, and kept thinking based on this simple code name, racking their brains to understand the deep meaning.

Then when they were fully prepared to attack and found out that the enemy was really the big red dragon in the Bible, the shock on their faces was the only reason why Aleister was named this.

Although due to the severe situation, the man behind the scenes who manipulates the world behaves like a cold and emotionless machine in most situations.

But once the situation eases slightly, his bad taste will be exposed as nakedly as lipstick on his white shirt.

After the brief conversation, the windowless building returned to silence.

——But at this time, neither Aleister nor Aiwass thought about it.

Changes that will change the entire world and the future start from this moment.

They paid great attention to Roland, who came from outside the world, and even gave him the right to stand in the center of the stage from the beginning.

But this level of respect still cannot be called grand.

This is true even if Aleister is not limited to the Demon God's realm and still has a sense of awe that belongs to humans.

People cannot earn wealth beyond their cognition, and Aleister cannot imagine the changes that will occur when the unknown outside the world collides with the old.

But regardless of the reason for the development of this matter, whether it was because of the fate that was doomed to fail that entangled him.

One thing is certain.

The trend of the world is rushing towards a future that is far beyond Aleister's expectations, or that no one can know at all.

-

"Academy City——"

Roland looked at everything around him with some sigh, walking in the city.

In traveling through the past, the modern world has always been very rare.

Although there are many worlds that have developed far beyond modern times, even mechas and battleships can be built that far exceed modern capabilities.

But there are still many differences between this style mixed with magical technology and the orthodox technological world that Roland perceives.

After polluting the native world with black technology such as subspace for the sake of his grand plan, Roland had not seen such an orthodox future world for a long time.

Judging from the surrounding security robots and some facilities that have been used, the technological level here is about forty or fifty years ahead of what Roland knows about the modern world.

Times, humanities, and the masterminds behind the scenes have jointly created this utopian existence.

As a megalopolis that occupies nearly one-third of the entire western part of the capital, in a sense, there is no problem in treating this place as a country within a country with an independent government.

No, it should be said that people who don’t have this idea simply don’t understand the nature of this kind of city.

Roland glanced at the almost pervasive camera hidden in the dark, and then turned his attention to the ID card in his hand.

When technology becomes too advanced, the difficulty of hiding oneself almost increases exponentially.

This simple identification alone requires a variety of information such as fingerprints, voiceprints, and retinas, and can only be obtained after strict review.

However, it is indeed difficult to forge an identity of this level, but for people with special means, it is not a big deal.

Because they are meant to attract attention, what really allows Aleister to control the situation without leaving home has never been the cameras.

Roland stretched out his hand, twirling his index finger and thumb slightly.

In this body perception, which can be called the ultimate creature, there is a clear particle touch.

"This is the lag loop..."

These nanoscale robots are spread throughout the surrounding air, transmitting every information about Academy City to Aleister in the form of quantum signals.

Their small size not only makes them difficult to detect, but also extremely difficult to eliminate them all in one go.

Under their surveillance, no outsider can hide.

It has nothing to do with whether the enemy can detect them, because destroying these robots in large numbers is in itself an act of concealment.

One can imagine how difficult it would be to intervene in Academy City without Aleister's acquiescence.

Thinking of this, Roland's eyes were a little subtle.

This world is a little too unfriendly to time travellers. Traveling here without power is nothing short of a nightmare.

In Aleister's style, although he wouldn't do anything like slicing, it would be more than enough to direct a cage similar to The Truman Show specifically for time travellers.

With that guy's ability to manipulate people's hearts, I'm afraid most time travelers will act as Aleister's guinea pigs without knowing it, until they are drained of the last trace of their use value.

If I hadn't reached a cooperation with Aleister, I might have had no choice but to walk in openly, or choose to attack by force.

"Sure enough, only strength and truth are the only sources of eternal peace of mind."

Roland unconsciously rubbed the silver ring between his fingers and chuckled.

In this case, it seems that he can only implement this concept to the end.

Of course, in a way that suits your own style.

"The key to all spirits, extract a new bonded spirit for me."

Chapter 394 A new bonded spirit suitable for Academy City

Inside the Key of All Spirits, there is a scene like a lantern coming on. Each of the bonded spirits with different postures is like a lost pearl wandering in this world sea.

Although he was locked and unable to move, he still fought tenaciously, and brilliant light escaped from the inside.

Roland's eyes narrowed slightly, and at such an important moment, his expression became much more solemn.

A confused person who has no path will not be able to go very far if he blindly relies on the bonded spirit to improve his strength. However, giving up the advantages of the bonded spirit is a more shallow idea.

Even for Roland, who is in perfect condition, the spirit has a guaranteed function that brings new possibilities, let alone now.

The matter of extracting new bonded spirits is very important to him.

And the reason is very simple.

"I am too weak now."

When facing Aleister, Roland admitted this fact himself.

This is really not his Versailles, or trying to bury Aleister.

So weak that it makes people pitiful, this is Roland's feeling from the bottom of his heart.

After using the locking phase as an anchor point, the dream on the throne can be regarded as invading the world, barely allowing Roland to escape from the immobility dilemma, and also having a starting point for starting over in the human realm.

With the help of the power of the phase, Roland's strength did not show any significant decline.

But after all, the source of this power is the dream that has been severely damaged and has no vitality at all.

It's like a car with severely damaged parts. Although it still retains its general shape and can still drive, its speed and performance seem to be stuck there.

Roland's purpose was to pour in the fuel called possibility for propulsion, so that the car would reach the peak of its phase, where it would be refitted and put on the road again.

But to do this, he had to face a real problem.

Although this car called Bit can still run, it essentially fills an empty fuel tank with a large amount of water, and uses the difference in density between the two to suck up the residue underneath and use it to move forward.

This is a very high-risk behavior, and it is okay to drive Roland alone on the road.

But when it comes to recording the new scenery around you, guiding the traffic and passengers behind, and even opening up new roads, it is powerless to gain a lot of possibilities and fill your own means.

After all, Roland's person is still a dream in nature.

There are many people in history who have had an epiphany due to dreams and changed their past completely, but the number of such people cannot be called large in any case.

No matter how bizarre the dream is, it will be gradually forgotten under the pressure of reality and become a corner of memories.

If it were any other world, Roland wouldn't mind challenging Cthulhu's method of entering your dreams, and using the interference of dreams to bring down the entire history and world process.

But after seeing the devil, he gave up this idea.

As long as the table is not turned over, for the devil, it is probably just a dream.

Therefore, Roland's only choice is to stay in the human realm and regroup with the possibility of small but sure changes, just like boiling a frog in warm water.

Waiting for the little things to add up, then take action in one fell swoop to complete a drastic change that even the demons did not expect.

Before this power reaches a certain scale, Roland not only has to guard against the prying eyes of the demon gods, but he also has to be more cautious.

It can be seen from the temple of Aleister that the reason why he lives in solitary life is on the one hand because he wants to guard against the devil, and on the other hand, it is not a compromise.

"It would be fine if there were only one or two people like Aleister at the pinnacle, but if there were more than one, with my current physical strength, there is still a risk of falling short."

Roland frowned. This body, whose personality serves as the base point for manifestation, was evaluated by Aleister as the ultimate creature even without any systematic training.

But from Roland's own opinion, without using the phase, his physical strength is probably between the top and the extraordinary heroic spirits.

Although special attributes such as magic power are almost at full level, it is difficult to feel at ease with only the power of phase as a trump card.

Therefore, after reaching an agreement with Aleister, the first thing Roland had to do was to quickly realize his body's potential.

What's interesting is that Roland's own accumulated realms and the pure power flow that can be withdrawn from the phase at any time. Under this premise, he doesn't need to care about the longest process in the conventional path to becoming stronger.

What really needs to make him interested is... choice.

"So, what kind of power system should we choose?" Roland pondered.

There is already a field of knowledge on the Tree of Life. In the process of becoming a human being, many details of the forbidden world are still unfamiliar to him. However, in terms of public perception, Roland also gained the knowledge when the heroic spirit was summoned. , the Holy Grail gives them that level of modern information.

On the surface, the forbidden world is divided into the science side and the magic side.

Needless to say, the reliability of the magic side is natural. The strength of the Demon God who has taken a wrong path is astonishing to Roland. It is a completely royal path.

Relying on the magic knowledge accumulated from other worlds, taking the magic side of the road will make you advance at a speed of thousands of miles.

"But in this case, it is undoubtedly twice as much starting from scratch."

Roland sighed softly.

This tempting choice made him think about it for a long time.

But the more he thought about it, the more he noticed its shortcomings.

First of all, in terms of accumulation, the overlapping phases of the Magical Index world are a cage for the demons, but for the magicians in it, it is simply an inexhaustible source of power.

Theoretically speaking, every magician uses magic once, which is the result of the dual power of the physical phase on the surface and the religious phase to which they belong.

Roland's magic is special, but essentially it only has a single output port of the surface material phase.

It's enough to deal with weak magicians. Roland's output frequency is enough to cover this gap. But when facing a strong person who is also the top, and is dragged into a protracted battle or a high-frequency battle, this shortcoming may be exposed. .

To fully utilize this power, it is best to construct a corresponding religious aspect.

But this goes against Roland's idea of ​​turning his power into reality.

Moreover, even if he was very confident in himself, Roland would not be too confident in front of the devil who had exhausted all his magic.

For them, spells such as air magic may indeed be able to kill them at first sight.

Considering that the demon gods are all familiar with the original demon scriptures in various fields, and then use the ultimate knowledge of this knowledge to give birth to people with new paths.

This kind of magic from another world can only be regarded as strange, not correct.
