Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Seeing this, Parvati couldn't help but shout angrily.

But her roar was drowned out and vanished by a booming sound from a demon.

The arrow released by the Demon King as a threat pierced into space and exploded, enough to knock the Servant unconscious, but Moro showed mercy.

“This is self-evident, a theory that no one can overturn. Parvati, your father ‘He’ is in all things, so I also love ‘all things.’ This is the proof that ‘He’ exists in this world, and it is also my purpose.”

"But Father isn't—"

"That's why I'm saying you guys don't understand."

Moro whispered quietly.

That was almost like an answer, as if the demon king, who possessed the scale of human evil, was responding to all of Parvati's doubts.

"However, since you are indeed 'his' children, the beast of joy will devour everything with love, whether it is your hostility, your fighting spirit, or your fear."

"Ritsuka, get to work! Bring out all the search warrants that you and I have collected!"

Suddenly, Kichijou shouted at Fujimaru Ritsuka. Although she didn't understand what was going on, Ritsuka obeyed and took out all of them, which together with all of Kichijou's arrest warrants. They were all the arrest warrants for the Tokugawa shoguns.

"Right Fragment, you're so adorably naive."

Moro slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Although collecting key items during the game can affect the final ending, it's impossible to be so optimistic. After all, that would be both annoying and adorable. What good would it do to obtain search warrants for all the Tokugawa shoguns?"

If I truly felt it was a threat, wouldn't I have hidden it even more carefully? On the contrary, I very much hope you can discover that what you consider crucial is also part of my love.

"Really?"

Kichijou-in frowned, not because she was upset, but because she was thinking, 'I finally got a chance to show off in front of Lady Novia, but I ended up like this. Without the Holy Scripture, my strength is not enough. I have to think of a way.'

"So, according to you, Jack's whereabouts were also intentional? Jack in 1893?"

"Yes."

Moro nodded.

"The origin of the destruction is undoubtedly Jack the Ripper, and the responsibility of the London 'system' is also very, very heavy. The Tokugawa shoguns themselves issued the search warrant for 'her' redemption and the Five Commandments."

London is truly ugly. Inside and out, there are monstrous prostitutes who sell their sex and use the money they earn to strangle the lives born from such acts, as if the world has ended, allowing all sorts of disasters and despair to flow in, accumulate, and be poured down like sludge.

But there's no need to worry about that now, because I love you all, I love everything in the world, I love all life.

"However, Moro, you are now the Minister of Scotland Yard, right? If that's the case, how can you close it by treating innocent people? Once people find out, do you think you can keep your position?"

Moro waved his hand dismissively in response to Kichijoin's question.

"Everyone in London has obeyed me. In this vicious city, my orders are of the highest priority. Besides, are any of the Tokugawa generals really innocent? I'm afraid not, hehe."

Then, all the demons pulled their bows back with all their might.

"And Mara over there, is he silent because he's afraid? It doesn't matter, I'll make you, this imposter, disappear completely."

"Novia!"

Ritsuka immediately understood the situation upon seeing it.

Moro intends to destroy the 'Bojū' in front of him.

Having witnessed how a mere threatening shot nearly knocked Parvati unconscious, and the terrifying aura emanating from her, most of those present would not consider this an absurd act.

"Ritsuka, take out the card."

Upon hearing Novia's words, Ritsuka immediately understood and pulled out her 'card cane'.

...What the hell? Why would I take out a card that only has a faint aura?

Just as Moro was puzzled, she suddenly noticed a white light emanating from the unseen Novia. Then, a force she couldn't quite understand began to devour her body, which was the universe itself.

"No, what are you doing to London? And what are you doing, London? I am your master! Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

In an instant, countless Kama transformed into a vortex of murderous intent, attacking from all directions.

The Demon King's burning rage, his penetrating sorrow, carrying all of this—

“London, city on the island of Britain, city that has returned in the glory of God, I visit you in the name of the Emperor, and you shall hear my words.”

Time in this universe suddenly stood still.

But Novia continued speaking.

"Lord of Scotland, Gamor, Acting Lord of Elendinion, Acting Home Secretary, and the Royal Family hereby pronounce your judgment—"

“Beast. Look, listen, feel, this is not the universe, but the police station that should be just.”

"Those without evidence should be released, and criminals should be punished. They should not be framed for the sake of others, even if both are guilty."

"Therefore, from this moment on, you are officially stripped of your position as director and sentenced to imprisonment."

London, the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom, was founded by the Romans in 50 AD and was originally named Londinion.

During the Roman period, an uprising led by the local Britons was originally scheduled to occur during Nero's reign, which would have resulted in the fall and burning of the city, followed by a second reconstruction. However, due to Novia, this uprising did not take place. Moreover, Lucius was the one in charge of building Londinion.

Therefore, in a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that the 'parents' of the city of London are Novia.

But if even Constantinople can transform into elves, perhaps other cities can too.

In conclusion, even though Rome had been destroyed long ago in 1893, the remnants of London still exist, despite countless renovations, countless people fighting over it, and the passage of time.

Demon King, you are indeed the master of "me" now, and your love, though mad, is enough to make us, who have fallen into evil, become obsessed. However, that is no longer the case—

Moro heard these whispers, whether from his ear or his heart; perhaps this was the consciousness of the London 'system'.

terribly sorry.

The instant those three words fell, petals drifted down from the universe. It was clearly a fusion of flowers and air, but it was like iron clashing against iron, sparks flying and a sound like cheers that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Your will."

The cheers were so brief and so swift.

In that very instant, amidst the fog and countless intricate streets, London, which had been silent for so long, was illuminated by the dazzling aurora borealis.

It was neither an illusion created by a maze nor a realistic simulation.

Rather, it is the turbulence and frenzy that are etched into the ancient city of London.

"...Heh, impressive, impressive. I never thought London would abandon my love, but so what!"

After a brief moment of panic, Moro took a deep breath.

"It's true that being self-righteous is cute. But I really hate it. This kind of pointless effort is just too pitiful. It's like garbage; the situation just goes back to the way it was before, without any improvement."

And to be honest, I don't need London anymore. You see, the universe is still filled with us. Mara, you should join us too.

But at this time.

Bang!

Suddenly, the world spoke, and tilted.

The universe tilted dramatically, and the demons that had been standing between the universes began to fall.

In the end what happened?

Before the Moros could even confirm it, the universe, as if it had a ground, was suddenly pulled up, causing the Moros' heads to slam heavily onto the 'ground'.

As Moro, in his true form, stared blankly into the distance, the universe—no, the entire universe—began to collapse; in other words, Moro's body began to crumble.

It reveals the true London on the outside.

"You bastard, Mara, damn it, how disgusting! How could this happen? I am the Beast of Joy! How could you, without this power, have done this?!"

As if she understood and accepted everything, Moro was puzzled as to why her own magic power was dissipating so quickly, which drove her to a state of utter turmoil.

"As an enemy of Buddha, shouldn't one at least be able to see Buddha?"

Novia stood quietly, casually stretching out her hand. That hand floated smoothly through the universe and the London landscape, and the moment it touched the black lotus, it filled the universe with lotus flowers.

Blue flames shimmered around the black lotus, overflowing with an overwhelming sense of awe, even giving Mara the illusion that if he stretched out his hand, it would be burned to ashes... just like the fire of Shiva in the past.

"However, I'm sorry, this is the last thing you have to do as the Demon King—"

Novia's sudden words pierced Kama's heart more sharply than Shiva's flames.

"...Why?"

Moro's heart trembled unbearably from inexplicable pain, wanting to pour out everything, but in the end, he could only utter a few scattered words.

"I just wanted to see 'him'."

The Demon King almost shed tears, but she gritted her teeth and held them back.

I don't want to cry over things that haven't been accomplished yet.

But in the next instant, a surge of intense emotion welled up in his throat, like a violent sob, and the emotion that surged up transformed into burning words.

"How dare you! How dare you! I am Kama! I am the Sixth Demon King! I am the real Mara! How could you, this imposter, be..."

However, during this time, the radiance extending from the lotus that enveloped the universe headed toward Moro, who was struggling to maintain his magic power. Slowly, Moro disappeared from any part of this singularity.

"We...we succeeded?"

Looking at Novia ahead, Ritsuka asked softly.

"No, not even close."

Novia glanced back at Ritsuka and the others present. "Ritsuka, you should return to Chaldea first. I'll return to Chaldea after I've dealt with Kama."

After saying that, Novia disappeared from everyone's sight in the same way that Kama had disappeared before.

……

In a desolate mountain, there was a woman wandering aimlessly, her body aching, her throat parched, her hunger overwhelming, her heart filled with sorrow, and above that sorrow was a thousand times more hatred.

"It hurts so much. I am clearly Mara, I am the one with the power of magic, why..."

Kama, feeling utterly powerless, gazed listlessly at the twilight sky.

Despite her exhaustion, her feet continued to move forward naturally.

Where am I supposed to go now?

Although I survived by sheer luck, I probably have nowhere else to go.

I should have been rejected by London and blasted to the ends of the world by the power of that Mara, then sealed off and cut off from all contact with the world... but I was fortunate enough to be thrown into some small singularity in the burning of human reason, and the location was in Japan.

But this was not good fortune, because Kama sensed that Beast's spiritual origin would be exhausted within a few hours, and she would also disappear as a result.

Therefore, waiting to die is the best option now.

However, her feet seemed to have broken free from her will, and she walked forward involuntarily in the deserted mountains. After about several tens of minutes, Kama found a stone tablet in the empty mountains that read "Paranirmitavasavartin".

In the Buddhist world, the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven is the highest point of the Desire Realm, known as the Sixth Heaven. Its ruler is Mara, the sixth heaven's demon king, also known as Kama.

Of course, because of what happened earlier, it was almost entirely Mara who ruined his plans. Kama first stepped on the stone tablet, and then used his remaining magic power to change the words on the stone tablet from 'Paranirmitavasavartin' to 'Sixth Heaven Demon King', as if to mark his sovereignty.

"However, the people who used to be here believed it was indeed me, not that imposter, right?"

This is a miracle.

Kama cried out in his heart.

In the moment when I am being completely denied and denounced by that imposter Mara, and my existence is about to be erased, I actually come across the inscriptions left by people in the past who revered me. Ah, just thinking about this makes me laugh out loud. Although I have been denied by the imposter, don't I still need people?

Although the area around the stone tablet is abandoned, the well and the stone foundation are enough!

Just as Kama had thought, she immediately burst into joyful laughter, though her voice no longer seemed human, it was truly filled with happiness.

"In that case, I'll establish a village right here!"

Thanks to the remaining magic power on the stone tablet, Kama was finally able to maintain her existence. However, this was not a long-term solution, and as the magic power was depleted, she would eventually meet her end.

To this end, she devised the most suitable, yet most wicked and cruel, way to restore her magic: using her remaining magic to create clones that would build a village, attract lost travelers, and then devour their souls.

After several years of hard work, Kama finally established her own village. To ensure a stable flow of visitors, she opened passages throughout Japan that could trigger spirit disappearances... Visitors gradually increased, although each time there was only one person, but this finally put Kama's plan on track.

The plan proceeded smoothly, and she successfully absorbed hundreds and thousands of souls.

In that increasingly prosperous village, the women's clothing gradually became more and more gorgeous.

If an ordinary person saw this, they would definitely wonder if they had enough food without farming.

However, this question was soon answered. The village would occasionally welcome a guest, and at these times the women would very rarely start cooking and boiling water to entertain the guest, making the man feel at home.

Later that night, while the male guest was fast asleep, the village women took up their sickles, killed him, and ate him.
