[Comprehensive] Self-cultivation of the villain master

Hate humans.

Hate the gods.

After the hateful world took away his one and only in the name of protection, he hated everything in the world, together with this protected world.

only--

He was endowed with strength and wisdom by the gods, and at the same time became a member of the protection of this world. From then on, he was not allowed to stand on the other side of the world.

His life experience, his strength, suppressed his hatred for the world time and time again.

But he knew it wasn't enough.

As if being cursed, my heart is filled with hatred. When I have an enemy, I will instill this dark negative emotion into the other party. When there is no enemy, I will be alone, and I dare not have too much entanglement with the people around me.

He has strength and ability, but he cannot do what he desires.

The feeling of being contradictory and unable to stop loathing myself completely dissipated because of one sentence.

"Forget it, anyway, I have lived for hundreds of years. Since you want your brother back so much, I will do as you wish."

"It's just that he came back, seeing you like this... what would he think?"

He didn't care about what his former friends said.

However, their gods said to him: "This time, you sent him back to this sky with your own hands, Astra..."

He hates the world for taking away his elder brother, his only relative in the world...

But this time, he killed the other party with his own hands.

In this way, he no longer has a reason to hate the world and God, otherwise... How would he face himself who committed an unforgivable sin?

Scenes from the past emerged before her eyes, and Astra's face showed a dazed look.

It didn't take a moment for the originally empty eyes to return to their original brilliance. He lightly clenched his right hand, and then smashed all the past images with his fist.

"You used this method of hypnosis to separate me from Agas and replace him, didn't you?"

The man standing in front of him called himself King Solomon, the only one who performed the magic known as a miracle as a human being, and he was not a magician himself.

Facing the embarrassing past, even Astra couldn't help feeling a little palpitating. He thought that he had sealed up that memory in a corner of his heart long ago, but he didn't expect that the servant in front of him would dig it out so easily.

The man named Magic King didn't answer his words, but looked at him for a moment. There was no contempt or hatred for the ants as a shady man in his eyes, and he just stood there without any emotion.

Like a statue.

Astra chuckled lightly, dissipating the strength in her hands.

"It doesn't matter if you don't answer. Anyway, you are just a shadow. Even if you have your own action mode like the deity, you are just a counterfeit. It is impossible for you to judge things beyond his orders."

As if confirming Astra's words, the original tall figure gradually merged with the white mist, and it didn't take long for it to completely dissipate into the air.

However, that sentence still lingers in the huge space for a long time.

"People abandoned by the gods, join me in destroying all human beings!"

Astra stared at the place where the puppet disappeared, her face lost her composure, and she slowly lowered her eyes.

The memory buried in his heart was actually awakened by a mere fake, and he almost lost control of himself for a moment, and did something irreversible again.

"Ah... I didn't expect that after so many years, I still haven't made much progress."

Thinking of his gaffe today, Astra couldn't help but wonder if the first Sea Emperor would have made a different judgment if he was in his position.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt ridiculous.

When Agas discovered something was wrong and defeated the fake "Astera", he returned the same way, only to see this usually arrogant boy sitting on the steps of the street somewhat lonely.

Because half of his face was covered by bangs, it was difficult for Agas to distinguish his emotions for a while.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Astra raised his eyes, and seeing the black-haired young man looking at him with a little worry, he couldn't help but smile: "Why does he look like he's about to cry?"

Agaston laughed angrily: "Isn't it because some idiot got lost?"

Knowing that she was wrong, Astra scratched her face with embarrassment.

"Well, my emotions have been fluctuating too much recently, and it's easy to get distracted."

"So it was just a little bit...you were taken away, you know?"

Agas thought that Astra would show disdain, but he didn't expect his reaction to be completely different from what he expected.

Wait, is Astra a good boy who will admit his mistakes so obediently? ... No, he is basically a mature soul who can't be more mature inside, he was almost deceived by his appearance!

After staring at Astra for a while, Agas hesitated, but asked again.

"Are you all right?"

"fine."

As soon as the words fell, Astra stood up from the spot, looked at Agas, and said, "It's okay, everything will be fine in the future, Agas."

Agas couldn't understand his meaningless words.

Not far away, Astra has gone far.

Agas had no choice but to put aside his doubts and chase after him.

Arriving at the restaurant where the murder happened before, Astra finally understands what is going on with the feeling of disharmony all the time.

"It stands to reason that in an environment with magic fog, no ordinary people would approach this place. But before coming here, I remember... there were many people there."

Agas was also involved, so he naturally understood what Astra meant.

"At that time, there will be a period when the magic fog will dissipate. It's not surprising that people take the time to come out."

When he finished speaking, he froze for a moment.

Seeing Agas' expression, Astra knew that the other party had also released it.

So, he calmly said: "We have personally experienced that murder case, and there is no phenomenon that shows that the magic fog is regular. Romani didn't say that there was such a thing, and the people of the Black Order didn't mention it, so let's It shows that this thing itself cannot exist.”

"So, that is to say—the singularity has been abandoned from the beginning, so there will be no magic fog where people are?"

"I think someone should have told them the regularity of the magic fog. After all, anything is possible in this era. If someone really told these people the regularity, they wouldn't doubt it."

Astra walked around the partially destroyed restaurant, and said with some uncertainty: "As for whether the singularity was abandoned before, I'm not sure yet."

Too many mysteries and too few clues.

Finding no answers, Astra left the restaurant.

After walking aimlessly on the street for a while, Agas asked, "Where are we going next?"

Astra stopped in her tracks, and said in a very serious tone: "Agas, if he is a god, where would he usually go?"

"It's hard to answer this question. If it was our goddess, she would probably run around the world, wishing to make up for the lost childhood."

Astra smiled noncommittally. Once their god completed his mission, it was indeed possible to do such absurd things.

Life that has been bound since birth, if you don't find something interesting, it's really a waste of time to come to this world.

Even if they are not human, they have the same feelings.

Agas glanced at Astra, and said in a cold tone: "So, your hypothesis is not valid, and our goddess must not be used as a basis for judgment."

Frankly speaking, Agas didn't say that, and he himself knew that there was no reference value at all.

At this time, Astra directly skipped the possibility of "where the Sea Emperor might go", because this person really wakes up, there is nothing else to do except destroy, and there is no need to deliberately search for it. standing in front of you.

wait--?

That fake...or he thought it was a fake, but it was actually the real one?

Thinking of this, Astra couldn't help but bang her head against the wall.

Seeing his companion's unbelievable behavior, Agas felt black.

"……what are you doing?"

"I thought of something."

"what?"

Astra raised her hand to signal him to wait a moment.

Afterwards, with Agas' speechless expression, Astra sat on the ground, resting his chin with one hand, showing a very distressed expression.

"If you want to declare to someone you don't know, will you send someone to pass the message directly, and then leave?"

Agas didn't understand what troubled Astra, but one thing was clear, they had separated in just a few minutes.

After that, Astra behaved strangely in every way.

People who have always tried their best to avoid thinking about the past, the sanctuary, and the goddess, uncharacteristically brought it up today, and looked very calm.

This made him very puzzled and disturbed.

The current problem of Astra undoubtedly represents the root of the problem.

"Before I answer your question, please explain to me—why do you ask this question?"

Astra thought about it, and told who she met and what happened just now.

Agas hadn't had time to feel his companion's frankness and obedience today. After hearing what happened next, he couldn't help grinding his teeth and said, "You... just let go like this. Maybe it's the guy who destroyed this singularity?"

Astra was quite innocent, and said very seriously: "I assumed the result of fighting between myself and the other party. No matter how I imagined it, it would end in failure, so I didn't do anything at all."

Listen, how confident are you, you just give up when you know you are invincible?This was not the Astra he knew!

Thinking about it in reverse, there seems to be something wrong with Astra, if it is for this reason that the enemy was let go... I should choose to forgive.

"Tell me, how long can your current body last?"

Astra's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly said, "What are you talking about?"

"The Gemini gold saints I know will never waste a great opportunity just because they know they can't beat them, and they don't even try to stop the opponent's actions."

He stared into Astra's eyes, and said word by word: "I suspected it before, Sea Emperor Pentheus has already started to control your body without authorization, how could you have nothing?"

"Also, when did you start wearing perfume?"

When people usually use perfume, it is to make people feel happy, but Astra is unlikely to do such a thing, so things will be abnormal.

Reminiscent of what Hohenheim once said that the soul will rot the body, Agas lowered his face: "Has your body already started—"

"The physical condition is indeed not optimistic. This is a fact. But you don't have to think too badly. Now...it's not that far. As for the perfume, just use it just in case, really wait until then, you guys I got used to it."

"I thought the magic mist didn't hurt you because of your strength. Now it seems that I think highly of you."

A sentence that was originally full of sarcasm sounded full of sadness to Astra now.

"Don't show such sad eyes. Anyway, this body is only temporary. As long as I control my strength well, I can still support Fujimaru Tachika to save the world."

However, Astra also understands that his career as the master of Chaldea can only reach that time.

Agas is not Kudo Shinichi who can control everything, including his own emotions. As a follower, he is not perfect, but he has only inherited part of the power and memory of the deity, and he is already very susceptible to influence.

Astra can take it for granted that he has even made preparations for the future, precisely because he is used to death and seeing the death of others.

For the servant of Agas, Astra actually had nothing to do, and finally asked him to check his physical condition, and confirmed that it was really not serious enough, so he didn't seem to continue to cry.

Astra was so troubled, and with the Solomon he met today, he needed to tell everyone in Chaldea about it, and then decide what to do next.

When returning to that house, Astra saw a happy face drinking a drink... Mordred?

Seeing him, Mordred immediately took up his sword.

Before she could explode, she was complained by Jekyll who came from behind: "Don't release the treasure for me here, there will be no cider after the room is damaged."

Only then did Astra know that the drink that Mordred had been drinking happily just now was the cider that Jekyll had strongly recommended before.

Seeing Astra, Jekyll was a little surprised.

"I thought you would come back with Fujimaru Tachika and the others."

"Fujimaru Tachika and Mash haven't come back yet?"

"That's right. I just saw them fighting the enemy in Soho, so I went up to help them. I didn't notice when they disappeared."

Astra caught the key word and repeated: "...is gone?"

Jekyll said with no surprise: "There are some winding roads here, and the magic fog has been lingering for a long time. I guess I got lost."

If it's just getting lost, Astra is not worried at all. Although Fujimaru Tachika is a little confused, Mash is a very serious child.Besides, if they really can't find the way, they can contact Romani and Da Vinci of Chaldea. They can't sense the enemies and followers, so it's not difficult to find the way.

Thinking of this, Tatsuka Fujimaru walked in with a look of "I can't do it anymore".

Matthew walked behind and was responsible for closing the door.

Seeing Fujimaru Tachika collapsed on the sofa, Mash shook his head, took a piece of clothing from the side, and covered the boy who fell asleep instantly.
