My mother's love song

[Retrograde Canal/Final Harmony], the second Noble Phantasm held by Grand Ruler Ex Machina.

If the first treasure, "You are the eternal calamity of the shining stars", is the treasure inherited from my elder sister Amaterasu,

It is the supreme power of Rhodes as the Almighty God.

Then, this second treasure is the treasure obtained from his fiancée Zhu Yue

This is the special power that Rhodes has as one of the Ultimate Ones.

Just from the literal meaning, it can be understood, just like [Retrograde Canal/Genesis Light Year] and [Retrograde Canal/Celestial Conception]...

[Retrograde Canal/Final Harmony] is the fifth magic.

""

The moment the Noble Phantasm is released, time and space lose their meaning.

Rhodes was immersed in his own darkness, and everything passed by in the paused time.

Memories that he had never seen before appeared in his eyes.

Happy, painful, pleasant, sad, happy, unhappy, unfortunate...

He immediately realized that these were things that would happen to him in the future.

Rhodes had no interest in things that had not yet happened, but just reached out to touch the "already determined future."

Rhodes excluded himself from thinking and just focused on magic.

Now we must unify the retrograde consciousness of returning to zero.

However, there was a voice whispering in my ear that was ready to take action.

His greatest enemy at this moment is the devil from the abyss.

"Don't remember the value of life. Consider the preciousness of death."

It turned out to be you, boy, Rhodes suddenly realized.

When Aozaki Aoko used magic for the first time, the red ghost that appeared in her mind and kept disturbing her was actually Rhodes's [past self].

So, in the ears of Rhodes who is trying to use magic now, the truth of the devil's words is still Rhodes [my future self].

Rhodes finally realized the truth that harming others does not benefit oneself.

But he finally knew what the voice that had been disturbing my heart was.

The devil laughed and whispered softly.

"Hey, there's hell ahead."

"Is this okay?"

"If you continue to use magic, your future will be determined."

Rod had only one sentence to respond to the advice from the future.

"Don't tell me what's wrong with you. Without me, you are nothing."

Rhodes declared to the owner of the voice.

Whether it’s “my past self” or “my future self”…

Without "who I am now", you are nothing.

"So don't get in my way, don't tell me what to do."

""

Helplessly yet naturally, the noise gradually faded away.

At this moment, Rhodes forgot everything and opened his tightly closed eyes.

"declaration."

Something was happening inside his body.

Although this body is a mechanical body that is the crystallization of human dreams, it has a heart that is hotter than anything else.

Rhodes opened the Pandora's Box containing magic.

It started out as a faint light, then slowly grew larger and stronger, eventually circling and running quickly around him.

Huge, countless incandescent magic circles swirled around the boy's feet.

The Mechanical Savior's soul made a fragmented sound, but this was understandable.

If one wants to forcibly use the fifth magic, one must at least possess a planetary-scale spiritual base like Goetia or Zhu Yue.

The shouts from the bottom were boiling, as if trying to break the silence of the universe.

Rhodes called out the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"In my name, order will prevail!"

At the end of his trance, he touched the essence of magic.

"All is right [not, SANE]!"

The boiling and radiant stream rises into the sky.

In the boy's eyes that had abandoned confusion and distress, the magician began a game against the universe.

Time flows backwards.

The stars change, and the universe continues to present beautiful scenery.

The home of the Olympian mecha gods, a dead world whose resources should have been exhausted hundreds of thousands of years ago

Looking around, there are brilliant lights of civilization.

The brilliant stars form a great civilization on the scale of a star cluster, and the universe itself is like a bird's-eye view of a modern city magnified hundreds of billions of times.

This is exactly the miracle created by the [Fifth Magic].

It can also be said to be the same thing as a side effect.

While Rhodes used magic to travel to the future, the time in his universe was also constantly regressing.

The universe that is the home of the Mecha Gods regressed to its heyday billions of years ago as magic was activated.

In that era, the great civilization that created Chaos, Titans, and Olympus had not yet become extinct.

In that era, the universe was filled with countless and inexhaustible resources.

The once prosperous scene is like a blooming ripple that continues to encroach on the universe of death. The "miracle" born from magic is about to become "reality", but

“Order breaks down here.”

Subsequently.

Huge, huge, huge, huge

An "individual" with a spiritual base of 140 billion light years on a cosmic scale has descended here.

That is all the evil in this world on a cosmic scale, equivalent to thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, trillions, billions, billions, and even billions of times the evil of all humankind.

Its figure is like the abyss itself, which spans the galaxy.

Its posture is like a strange black shadow emerging from the Holy Grail.

At the top of the abyss, three mad red evil stars looked down upon everything and sneered.

He is sometimes referred to as the evil god among evil gods, the faceless god.

Sometimes called the devil among devils, the crawling chaos.

Sometimes regarded as the beast among beasts, The Beast.

He is the apostle of the dreamy evil king.

Sitting at the end of the universe, laughing at everything, tempting, playing with, and slandering all intellectual fraudsters

His name is Lord Sharnoth, the Lord of the Dark Star.

Darkness, showing its full extent here and now.

Just as the young man had declared, [the end] is [predestined harmony].

The moment the evil god revealed himself, a light darker than the darkness instantly swallowed up all the stars in the universe and destroyed all civilizations in the universe.

The illusory dream of Olympus also quietly burst.

……

……

Endless power was lurking in Rod's body.

He felt himself being enveloped by an unknown dazzling light.

The name of this light is "darkness".

Darkness enveloped his body, changing its shape and extending endlessly.

As his spiritual base expanded at an astronomical rate, Rhodes also remembered a prank he had played in the future [140 billion years ago].

In the Big Bang that created the universe,

When the two elements [time and space] were separated from the chaotic singularity, Rhodes added the third element that constitutes the universe.

Time, space and darkness.

Rhodes himself is the third element that constitutes the universe, [Darkness].

All darkness, gloom and shadows in the universe are part of the evil god.

The King of Sharnos, he is the ruler of all darkness in all universes.

Therefore, if fully manifested, he would have a manifestation equal to the size of the universe.

At the moment when Rhodes incompletely descended, the gravitational waves generated by his own mass tore apart countless stars around him.

The miracle created by the fifth magic was also easily shattered, as if nothing had ever existed.

The evil god, who was once Rhodes's possession, slowly opened the three scarlet eyes on its head and looked at the enemy covered by its shadow.

A celestial space-time fortress.

A super-giant structure with a star as its core, Chaos, a stellar shell

It was in intense fear.

Chaos was hopelessly terrified, trembling violently.

The fear of the God of the Void turned into an infinite eruption of heat, but the attack that was powerful enough to destroy the planet disappeared the moment it touched Rhodes' shadow.

now.

In Rhodes' eyes, the star machine god that was once invincible and invincible to him

Now she has become so pitiful.

After all...it looks only as big as your fingernail.

Faced with the strongest enemy he had ever encountered in his life, the evil god couldn't help but want to play with it.

So Rhodes held out his hand.

Carefully reached out to Chaos

Just like that, the super-giant structure with a mass of more than 2×10 to the power of 30 tons was shattered into pieces in an instant.

It seems that there is no need to launch a deterrent attack on it, Rhodes thought as he barely pinched the broken star shell with two fingers.

Chaos was still shaking violently with fear.

"It's okay now."

The three scarlet eyes of the evil god are filled with tenderness and love.

"Don't worry, Chaos, I won't kill you."

Rhodes said to the "glass ball" between his fingers.

"There are only you and I left in this universe. If I kill you, I will be alone forever."
