My mother's love song

Time stood still.

……

……

……

Silent poetry shakes the atmosphere, and the order of the universe collapses here.

Under the effect of the miracle, the earth, sky, cities, forests, everything on the surface was rolled up and decomposed at the same time.

The scene changes from the Earth to the Moon.

The ominous crimson moonlight suddenly became transparent and soft.

Looking around, there is more than just the desolate and pale alien scenery.

The glittering moon corals encroach upon the world's landscape like blooming ripples.

In the dark and quiet moonlit night, the silicon-based forest emits a soft, emerald green light.

"..."

Is it because of the [single appearance]?

Only Rhodes' thoughts could still flow in this situation.

At this point, he already understood what Zhu Yue had done, her self-confidence, her arrogance... and her victory.

Zhu Yue reversely interpreted the Holy Grail that Rhodes left on the moon.

She read some fragments of Goetia's memories through the Holy Grail and learned about the event of "Incineration of Humanity".

She learned that Goetia planned to use the huge amount of heat generated by burning 3000 years of human history to forcibly activate the fifth law and return the planet to the way it was 46 billion years ago.

Zhu Yue would probably be disdainful at first. The proud Queen of the Moon would certainly not take the demons abandoned by their masters seriously.

Therefore, the emergence of the "singularity" of the Holy Grail of the Moon did not change the course of history. She still lost to Jewel and the Second Magic in the war between the Dead Apostles' world and the human world.

But while experiencing the bitterness of defeat, Zhu Yue also understood the power of magic to create miracles and subvert the universe.

Then the worst, most terrible thing happened.

Zhuyue Brunstad, trying to understand the workings of magic.

Goetia was her best teacher and had already demonstrated to her what to do in the future. She just had to follow and imitate him.

Her existence is equivalent to the moon, and she has obtained the authority of the earth through Elquet's body. The only thing she lacks is magic.

More importantly, she herself also possesses the miraculous qualities of a magician.

[Retrograde Canal/Celestial Conception], that is a miracle born in the name of the Vermillion Moon, a quality that she originally possessed but had not yet been discovered.

The person who made Zhu Yue realize this was Rhodes.

This is Lot's sin of sinful mercy.

He left the Holy Grail in Zhu Yue's arms without permission because he felt sad about the cold lunar environment. As Zhu Yue said, this was the beginning of this end story.

Sorry, Zelrich...

Rhodes silently apologized to his old friend in his heart.

I seem to have created some incredible monster.

Zhu Yue Brunstad is the ultimate transcendent species cultivated by Rhodes himself.

The king of the planet who travels through the long river of time, there is nothing in this world that can stop her existence.

Rhodes' right hand, which he stretched out with all his strength, could never reach Zhu Yue Brunstad's body.

He could only watch as the Moon King sank into the endless darkness.

Everything is flowing quietly

Flowing on the endless Star Canal that has been cut off from everyone except the Daughter of the Red Moon.

Time began to flow backwards.

PS. The fact that the princess and Zhu Yue "may" be able to use the fifth method is not a secondary setting I added.

"Retrograde Canal/Genesis Light Year" is the name of Aoko and Goetia's moves.

"Retrograde Canal/Celestial Conception" is the title of the remake of Tsukihime (Boss Battle: Princess of Light).

Chapter 450 Before we met, we were always alone

How long has it been since then?

On the river without time and space, without physical sensation and temperature, Rhodes and Zhu Yue looked at each other.

The radiance like the Milky Way made her queenly appearance even more sacred.

Everything stands still and time flows backwards.

Zhu Yue's fifth magic spell [Retrograde Canal/Celestial Conception] is functioning normally, and the history of the planet is accelerating backwards.

In Type-Moon's worldview, there is a concept called Star Canal.

That is the time canal unique to each planet.

Everyone is a boat sailing on the canal, moving towards the future in the endless star canal.

The [Retrograde Canal] refers to the anti-time that is happening now, the behavior of looking back, traveling through and modifying the past.

Thanks to [Separate Manifestation], Rhodes, who witnessed the magic, now has a consciousness independent of the timeline.

But he really wished he didn't have this skill.

Rhodes once heard someone say that being conscious but unable to move your body was one of the worst experiences.

Now he believes it.

His body, which had lost consciousness, sense of touch and pain, seemed to be melting, and he could only be forced to stare at Zhu Yue's face.

What kind of torture is this...

Do you want me to keep staring at this woman's face until she is satisfied?

When Rhodes finished thinking, Zhu Yue's magic ended.

When [Retrograde Canal/Celestial Conception] ends, I will return to the "past" and forget everything that happened in the "present" and "future"

After all, Zhu Yue is the only one who can travel through time.

Although he saw her walking towards the "past" alone, Rhode could do nothing. When he woke up, he would forget his encounter with her.

Although [Single Manifestation] is resistant to time magic, it is absolutely unable to resist magical time travel.

In the still world, Zhu Yue moved.

The girl's long, shining hair swayed gently without wind as she walked towards Rhodes, raising her lotus-like right arm.

Ah... am I going to be killed?

Rod thought bitterly, it seems that Zhu Yue doesn't even intend to let the "past" me live.

Unable to move, unable to even resist, just watching her kill me! ?

The boy once imagined his own death.

He still had the self-awareness that if he were to be killed, it would definitely be at the hands of a woman.

But Rhodes could never have imagined that he would be killed in the reverse flow of time!

What would it be like to be killed while traveling back in time?

I won’t be stuck in the same bug as the Gold Experience Requiem, suffering endlessly and experiencing my own death over and over again!

The red moon is right before our eyes.

Rhode looked into her eyes and prepared himself to be killed.

It’s like the mad scientist or black magician in the story who is killed by the most powerful monster he created. It’s an ironic and dramatic ending.

Sorry, everyone...

I think I've reached the end of this...

""

The first pulse was heard on the quiet Star Canal.

Zhu Yue did not dig out his heart as Rhodes imagined, but instead placed her hand on his face.

"Is my face so scary? What an unromantic man.

What I want is just to hear your praise..."

"!?"

Rhodes's thoughts came to a standstill.

What he read in Zhu Yue's moist, iridescent eyes was not the ecstasy of victory but the sadness called the moon.

There was no way to ruthlessly move my eyes away from her beautiful and noble face.

That is the eternal loneliness of being an inorganic celestial body, that is the profound loneliness of being an intellectually transcendent species.

Intellect shapes its own loneliness.

What a blessed existence human beings are.

The inability to know everything means a great degree of salvation.

As long as human beings have love, they will be saved.

But the planet cannot be saved by love alone.

Zhu Yue Brunstad is still lonely even now.

Unlike other Aristoteles, Zhu Yue does not even have the concept of a creator [mother].

She is the will of the stars in flesh, the unique mind of the moon.

Maybe it’s because the essence of the moon is loneliness.

Her overly prosperous sister [Earth] could not possibly understand her.

Creatures that are too small [primates] cannot possibly understand her.

"Just like the will of the planet chooses the strongest life form to become the Ultimate ONE..."

I remember Zhu Yue once said this.

"Rod, feel honored. You are the strongest individual on this celestial body that I have chosen [Archetype: Moon]."

That’s what it means.

Zhu Yue regarded me as the only person who could understand her loneliness.

Zhu Yue, you are such a bad woman...

You cheated on me again and again, and played tricks on me again and again...

It made me feel so sad until the end, and brought back bad memories...

It’s really hard to let go.

"……What?"

Zhu Yue opened her eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.

In this long river of stars where everything is stagnant and regressing except for the Moon Queen herself...

Rhodes actually moved.

He held the hand she had placed on his face.

The boy's eyes flickered with anger and pity, cruelty and pleasure.

You can't make me forget the sadness I feel now.

So, Zhu Yue... let me fight you to the end this time.
