Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

3. The Supreme Lord of the Rings

at the same time.

In a 'small universe' that does not belong to humans, does not belong to mythology, and does not exist on any timeline.

There is only one temple standing here.

This is a place called the ‘Grand Temple of Time’.

In the deepest part of the temple, on top of the throne, there is a brown-skinned and gray-haired man, who is concentrating with his eyes closed.

The man's identity is - the Demon King.

The Demon King, Goetia, who rules over the seventy-two pillars of demons.

It is also the culprit responsible for the current destruction of human history.

For the people of Chaldea, in order to save the world, they are about to embark on a journey to repair each singularity.

But for Demon King Goetia, who created each of these singularities, his work has long been over.

The preparations for the ceremony are all completed, and what is left is a long waiting time. The light of human reason, which has burned for thousands of years of human history, will launch the ultimate magic after the long reading process in units of 'years'.

That is, reshape the planet.

The name of the magic is——[Retrograde Canal/Creation Light Year]

Even if the Chaldeans repaired all the singularities, they could not shake the activation of this magic. Therefore, from the perspective of the Demon King and the Demon Gods, they did not care about the life or death of the Chaldeans at all.

From the beginning, the Demon God and the Demon God King did not take the Chaldeans seriously. They did not have any deliberate attack plan against Chaldea, they just looked down on them equally.

Chaldea's disaster and Fuyuki's final battle actually had nothing to do with the Demon King and the seventy-one demon gods.

It's just the insistence of Professor Leif, the 64th Demon God among the Seventy-two Demon Gods, Lawrence Buddha.

Other than that, no one else took action.

Only the Demon King took action and used a little bit of power after sensing the aura of some annoying existence.

Regarding the abilities displayed by everyone in Chaldea, some demon gods were disdainful, some demon gods praised them, some demon gods were disgusted, and some demon gods gave them extremely high evaluations.

But after that, the Demon King planned to return to sleep again, waiting for the creation magic to be activated.

But

The Temple of Time, which should have been quiet, was now more lively than ever.

No, it should be said 'quarrel',

Outside the throne room and on the periphery of the temple, the sounds of arguments continued to be heard.

Even the throne room, which originally belonged only to the Demon God King and no Demon God was interested in entering, now welcomed intruders.

Under the throne that was supposed to be spacious and monotonous, there was a girl sitting on an armchair with a book spread out on her lap.

Surrounding the girl, there are piles of messy books. A large number of books surround the girl. At first glance, it looks like a city wall used to protect herself.

The girl is as beautiful as a fairy.

A lace hair accessory curls up her waist-length silky hair.

A pair of almond-shaped eyes as deep and dark as the night sky.

Perhaps because of her strong oriental ancestry, her characteristic honey-colored skin is as smooth as melted milk and as delicate as noble porcelain. There are also obvious characteristics of women from the Central Plains of China in her facial features.

The clothes are also all black.

It was a strange piece of clothing that was reminiscent of the ceremonial attire of a medieval knight, but it couldn't exactly be called a dress or armor.

The skirt of the puff skirt is decorated with multiple layers of ruffles, and the waist is tied up with a ribbon. It is so slender that it seems to break if it is broken. The metal gauntlets and waist armor that covered the figure did not match the lace-covered fabric at all.

Her eyes stayed on the book without any movement, and her expression remained as unchanged as a man-made object.

A girl like a doll.

Or maybe it’s a ‘witch’-like character who accompanies the ‘devil king’.

But the girl is neither.

".Dantaline."

The Demon King softly called the girl's name.

——Dantaline

This name is not ordinary.

Under the Demon King, one of the seventy-two pillars of demons, ranked 71st, is the Demon God of Books, Dantalin.

Among the many demon gods, Dantalin does not stand out for his strength, but he is a particularly special one. There are many demon gods, so the abilities they master often have repetitive parts, but only Dantalin , she alone has the power of the 'book'.

Does the Demon God of Books actually look like such a cute girl?

".What do you mean by looking like this?"

The Demon King's inquiry explained this problem.

This posture is certainly not the posture that a demon god should have. No matter in the mode of 'Devil' or 'Pillar', Buttalin will not be so humane.

What's more, even if she turns into a human form, why is she a girl in the style of the Central Plains of China?

"The young man named 'Lu Mingze' who came to visit us before and woke us up from our slumber gave me this gesture."

"Lu Mingze"

The Demon King read this name.

It seems that I am also trapped in memories.

That happened not long ago.

Originally, the Demon King didn't pay much attention to Chaldea's affairs, and he didn't particularly care about Lawrence (Leif)'s insistence on going his own way.

Not only that, although the Demon God King controls the seventy-two demon gods, most of the time, the seventy-two demon gods are in a state of sleep. Even now that human society is destroyed, most of the demon gods' personalities are still there. Sleeping.

Be it strength, power, or even the demon god's body itself, almost all of it is under the control of the demon king Goetia.

The Demon God King himself had a nonchalant attitude towards the fact that most of the seventy-two Demon Gods' personalities were sleeping.

Because their power is no longer needed.

The ceremony of the Creation of Light Years has long been completed, and he does not pay attention to the weak Chaldea at all. Goetia is confident that no matter how Chaldea grows, no matter how many heroic spirits Chaldea gathers, he can do it. Suppress alone.

Hostile to Chaldea?

How could the giant care about the life and death of the ants?

It's just that Lawrence, who had an enmity with Chaldea, was always entangled.

The enemy that Chaldea directly faces is never all the demon gods, but only one pillar, Lawrence.

It's just that the person who called himself Lu Mingze suddenly broke in when Fuyuki changed.

To use an analogy, he took the video of the young man named 'Lu Mingfei' swallowing the fire of human reason and transforming into a demon, turned on the loudspeaker, and threw it into the dormitory where the demon gods were sleeping.

Awakening all the demonic personalities in one go.

This is also the reason why Chaldea suddenly observed countless demonic spiritual reactions during the decisive battle in Fuyuki.

At that time, Lu Mingfei's last performance was actually broadcast live in the demon gods' dormitory by Lu Mingze.

Some demons hate it, some demons disdain it, some demons admire it, and some demons love it.

——[The number of demon gods who reported a ‘supportive’ attitude towards Lu Mingfei is: 1D72=32]——

Although it is more malicious or disdainful.

But Lu Mingfei's performance did receive praise from many demon gods.

There are even many who support him.

But that's not the point.

When the number of people increases and different viewpoints and ideas collide, conflicts will naturally arise.

This is also the reason why most of the seventy-two demon gods were originally dormant, and the number of active demon gods at the same time generally did not exceed 10 at most.

But now they were all awakened.

It was almost like a carnival.

The demon gods held a heated debate under the throne.

There is debate about whether humans should be destroyed

There is discussion about what the attitude of human beings in the new world should be.

Someone suggested giving Chaldea a trial

Some people question whether the old humanity should really be destroyed

There are also those who take this opportunity to be arrogant towards colleagues who they didn’t like before.

The noise that woke up the Demon King was the quarrel between the Demon Gods.

Dantalin, who was reading quietly, did not get involved.

"Are Barr and Asmodeus still arguing?"

The Demon King looked in the direction outside the temple.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Dantalin said calmly:

"After all, their personality settings are completely opposite. It is impossible for the God of Justice and the Demon King of Hell to get along. As Baal's wife, Astalu supports Baal, and Asmodeus will always be there to blame them for their 'couple game'. "

"Yin Yang, you have learned a lot of weird words from humans. Are three of the four supreme pillars quarreling? Where is the rest of Paimon?"

"He is a love brain. He has been out of the situation from the beginning. He is also the one who is ready to give Chaldea a trial."

"A trial?"

The Demon King shook his head.

"The thing who calls himself Lu Mingze, judging from his aura, should be an observer of the Nordic civilization. The destruction of civilization has nothing to do with him. He is just an outsider. Looking at his actions of giving power to the Chaldeans, I thought he was Those who supported Chaldea did not expect to forcibly awaken the personalities of the demon gods.

If he does nothing, except for Lawrence, who hates Chaldea, the other demons will at most let the "body capable of infinite resurrection" slightly block him. But now that his personality has awakened, many warring factions will take action, right? So many enemies were forcibly added.

I don’t know what he wants to do. Is he going to cause internal discord among us and start a civil war? "

The Demon King snorted coldly.

Civil war is a pointless affair.

Because the Demon God King alone can suppress all seventy-two Demon God Pillars.

"King, won't you stop Baal and Asmodeus?"

"I'm not interested. If there's a fuss, I'll kill them all and make them again. Other than that, why are you here here? And you look like this."

"The being who called himself Lu Mingze visited me alone and borrowed a book from my library. As a deal, I asked him for a 'suitable human posture'. I plan to go I wander around in various singularities, and I am here just to wait for you, Wang, to wake up, report this matter to you, and apply for travel."

The Demon King still had an indifferent attitude.

"Application? No need. If you want to go out and have a look, just go out and have a look. It doesn't matter if you die, I will resurrect you. Do you plan to write a book and bring it to the new world as a legacy of the old world?"

"Yes, I also plan to investigate some things. Speaking of which, would it seem strange to speak like a girl like this? Lu Mingze said that I use such a cute appearance to say old-fashioned words, which is like a loli old woman. The contrast is cute. What do you think?"

The Demon King did not answer.

He didn't even blink, as if he was stuck by this sentence. The Demon King, who had been holding back for a long time and didn't know how to answer, changed the subject somewhat stiffly:

"Speaking of which, what book did that person borrow from you?"

To this question from the Demon King, the girl-like Demon God of Books, but Talin, did not answer directly.

The girl raised her hand, and a book appeared in his hand.

"This is not a book, but a 'book'"

the girl said.

"Wang, what do you think is the biggest difference between a 'book' and a 'book'?"

Although it was a question, the Book Demon did not wait for an answer, but continued as if talking to himself:

"The answer is 'content'."

“A notebook without content is just a notebook, but with content and some kind of knowledge recorded, it becomes a ‘book’.”

"King, what do you think is the connection between 'Goetia' and the 'Seventy-two Demon Gods'?"

"Thousands of years ago, my father (Solomon) decided to create seventy-two magic tricks to protect the history of mankind - "Human Rishu Formal"."

"These seventy-two magics have their own thinking and are 'magic life'. They are also called 'Demon Gods' in later generations. The bloodline of the Demon Gods began from this point on."

"While my father was making the demon gods, he recorded the data of each demon god in a notebook in his hand. After all seventy-two demon gods were created, the data of the seventy-two demon gods were also recorded in the notebook in my father's hand."

“Data is knowledge, and knowledge is power.”

"Mysterious power."

"But if it wants to be a grimoire, that book is still a little short of it—that is, the name of the 'book'."

"The name my father gave to this book is - "Goetia", which is the "Goetia" of the 'Catalogue of Forbidden Books of the Demon God'."

"This is the essence of the relationship between the king and the seventy-two demon gods like us."

"The king was born to control the forbidden book catalog of the seventy-two demon gods. However, the moment the book "Goetia" was confirmed to be completed, the direct connection between the king and us was severed, because it had been 'completed' and became After reading the book, even if the information in the book is torn out, the incomplete book itself is "Goetia", which is equivalent to your 'stand-in'."

Dantalin's dull gaze met the Demon King's cold gaze.

The blank notebook in the girl's hand was destroyed in the flames.

"The magic book he borrowed from me is the original book of "The Book of Goetia". My main purpose this time is to tell you this."

"Are you going to betray me?" Goetia looked at the girl coldly.

"no."

The girl just shook her head slightly.

"The book he borrowed is my power as the Book Demon. Without my support, the contents and the power of the magic book will disappear. However, the identity of the book is still the "Book of Goetia" and it can continue to be a banned book. The directory only exists, you should know what this means, right?"

"That's my report."

The girl waved her hand, and all the books stacked randomly around her disappeared without a trace.

"I'm about to leave, King. Do you need me to bring a message to Baal and Asmod for you before I leave?"

".unnecessary."

The book demon in the girlish form nodded.

Then he turned around, left the throne room without looking back, and disappeared into the temple.

Goetia didn't pay attention from beginning to end.

Whether it's a dispute between demons or the Book of Goetia.

The Demon King has always been indifferent.

only

"The Book of Goetia was born from the seventy-two demon gods"

The Demon King was talking to himself on the throne.

"But at the moment of its birth, the "Book of Goetia" as the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books" severed its relationship with the seventy-two demon gods. Goetia will still exist even if all seventy-two demon gods are destroyed."

but.

If someone possesses both the Index of Forbidden Books ("The Book of Goetia") and Solomon's Ring, he can gain the power to control the seventy-two demon gods.

The Demon King raised his hand and looked at the nine rings on his ten fingers. His eyes finally focused on the only index finger of his right hand without a ring.

Then, he closed his eyes again.

It's like nothing happened.

The throne room fell into silence again.

But outside the temple, the debate among the demon gods became more and more intense.

☆

At the same time, inside Chaldea, in the men's room closest to the medical area.

Doctor Roman looked at the ring that contained strange magic power on his right index finger. He didn't know what he thought of and was distracted.

Except when washing his hands, including when sleeping, Roman never took off his gloves.

Even if someone asked, they would just deal with it vaguely and never tell the secret. Because of this, Chaldea, under the instigation of some good people, appeared in the forum section about his multiple divorces. There were many inexplicable rumors about illegitimate children and the like.

".well."

Roman sighed.

After wiping my hands clean with a handkerchief, I planned to put on my gloves and return to the busy work of physical examination.

——But just now.

An angry Lu Mingfei suddenly rushed in. Roman panicked and tried to hide the ring, but he grabbed it with one hand!

"Da Vinci told me everything! Damn it, I know there are a lot of damn shady things in Chaldea! But I also think that everyone is a good person, and those are all man-made evils in the past. But why!?"

"Why do you know these secrets, Lao Luo!? You actually know all the secrets that even Leonardo da Vinci doesn't know!?"

"What are you hiding from us!?"

"What the hell has Chaldea done!?"

The handkerchief fell to the floor.

Roman seemed dumbfounded.

But his eyes, for some reason, were not looking at Lu Mingfei. Instead, while dodging, he was attracted by the book in Lu Mingfei's other hand.

"This is.?"

He seemed to remember something.

——to be continued!

This is the chapter today. Both books burned a lot of my brain cells, so let me slow down.

(Although I say this, the two books combined have been updated by 10,000 words)
