Abnormal Moon

It was a radiant ship soaring through the sky, made entirely of gold and covered extensively with emeralds. A throne was set in the front, where the oldest hero king sat.

"If I hadn't reacted in time, I might have been burned to death by you. But alas, I am still superior to you, hahahahahaha!"

Gilgamesh laughed heartily.

In fact, he was secretly apprehensive. He had been momentarily stunned and almost engulfed by the flames. He barely managed to react in time and managed to escape the raging fire with his fire-repelling treasure.

This Samadhi Fire is nominally a Taoist technique, but it is closer to a supernatural power. It has no incantation beforehand, making it impossible to defend against.

Taigong Wang shrugged helplessly.

The King of Heroes is indeed a formidable opponent.

The things in that treasure vault were truly outrageous; they could pull out any kind of treasure. If he didn't have that royal treasure vault, he would have died a hundred times over.

"Alright, you brat named Roy, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Gilgamesh sat on the throne of the Radiant Ark, but his voice came toward Roy.

"At a time like this, what else do you want to say?"

Roy gripped the small flag tightly and asked the Hero King warily.

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's the same as the previous questions and answers!"

Gilgamesh gave a defiant snort.

"Although it was interrupted by that scoundrel before, I have not yet received a satisfactory answer! Continue to answer me, what is your true wish? What do you want to reset? What great undertaking do you want to accomplish?"

"So interested in my Master's wishes, King of Heroes?"

Taigong narrowed his eyes.

He immediately used his teleportation technique to appear in front of Roy, shielding him behind him with an ambiguous smile on his face.

"What a foolish question! This is the pleasure I've deliberately saved for last!"

Gilgamesh held his head high, looking at Taigong Wang with an expression as if he were looking at a fool.

"Or what is it, Taigong Wang? Do you have very little faith in your Master? Are you worried that he will be driven to despair by my words, or that he will be seduced and corrupted?"

Saying your own words is considered seduction, isn't it?

"Hmph."

Taigong Wang murmured softly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He did have this concern.

The Hero King was unlike anyone else. Although he was a king, from the perspective of the ancient Chinese, he was far too evil and a tyrant comparable to King Zhou. All his words were filled with an unusual power.

"fine."

Roy shook his head, signaling Taigong Wang to step aside.

He glanced at the large hole below.

Most importantly, there's the Holy Grail, which has been restarted.

The Greater Grail has been successfully restarted.

So now, the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for them!

Since that's the case, he was happy to have a talk with Gilgamesh.

"Then I will tell you, King of Heroes, what my wish is."

Upon hearing this, Taigong Wang thought for a moment and then silently took a few steps back to the side.

Roy suddenly faced Gilgamesh directly.

Looking at the golden king, he knew that if he displeased him, the king might fly into a rage.

Roy took a deep breath, as if he were exhaling all the emotions in his heart.

"What I want to do is to recreate the great achievements of King Solomon!"

"Oh?"

Gilgamesh was immediately intrigued.

"Speaking of that foolish king, his great achievement was nothing more than inheriting the will of the gods, systematizing, refining, and popularizing magic, and bringing it to modern humanity..."

Before the time of King Solomon, magic was the domain of the gods.

But King Solomon, with the wisdom he received from God, established magic through human hands, forming a system of magic. Only then could humans use magic, and magic began to spread and develop on a large scale.

"So, what you want to reset is—"

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, as if he could already see the outline of the answer.

"I can't stand the rules that govern how this world works."

Roy's expression was calm and indifferent, as if he were recounting someone else's story.

"Ultimately, why do magicians become more and more abnormal in their minds the more they study magic, and the less they care about human life? They only regard the pursuit of the root as the only thing that matters for survival. They can abandon not only others, but also their closest relatives and even their own lives at will. If they want to achieve their goals, they would not even bat an eye at sacrificing the whole world. I deeply believe that such a world is already broken, and the manifestation of this is the rotten system of magic."

Humans are imperfect beings, but since we can't perfect our imperfections no matter what, we use external forces to improve them.

But this external force cannot be a broken system like magic.

Look at the neighboring Zhonghua.

The existence of magic simply could not spread across that land.

After the decline of the mystical, the gods of China joined forces to create miniature sources on earth, forming another system of arts and techniques, namely Taoist arts, also known as magic arts, and the most profound of which are immortal arts.

In the West, it is known as mind magic.

While Chinese Taoists certainly pursued higher levels of magical arts, they did not seek the root cause.

A comparison between Taoist priests and magicians will reveal the difference.

The system of magic is karma itself.

"What I want to reset is the concept of magic itself, to overturn the concept of magic, to rebuild the basic theory of magic from scratch, to reproduce the great achievements of the King of Magic, and to complete humanity with a new system!"

Roy gave the final answer.

"I will avert the tragedy caused by magic!"

This is the first thing to do.

Chapter 117 Human Evil and Human Love

Resetting the magic was Roy's first priority.

This is a difficult task.

Very difficult.

It was so difficult that it was almost impossible to succeed.

Indeed, there are examples of Chinese thought magic in reality, and Taoists are far more humane than magicians, but what are the micro-roots of Chinese thought?

That was a special case created by the gods of China over an unknown period of time and with an unknown amount of effort.

This is the only one of its kind in the world; there are no other examples.

If Roy wants to reset magic, he first has to erase the concept of magic from the earth, which means he has to make enemies of all the magicians in the world. He has to fight against all the magicians in the world first, because once the magicians know his intentions, they will never let him go and will try every means to kill him.

Then, it takes a long time and a lot of painstaking effort to continuously build, try, experiment, and improve the new magic system. This is the most labor-intensive part.

King Solomon established the system of magic because he received wisdom from God.

Roy's desire to not only overthrow this system but also rebuild a new one, or even a system designed to correct humanity's inherent flaws, is nothing short of delusional.

Even if it's just optimizing the magic system, it would be simpler.

But simply optimizing won't work. Without completely overturning magic and making humanity forget its existence, the tragedies caused by magic cannot be stopped.

If he still can't reach the final step, he might settle for second best and choose to focus on optimization only.

Besides, it wouldn't work to turn all of humanity into magicians.

Because magic circuits are innate, even if external forces are used to compensate, the gap will still eventually remain. Powerful magicians can naturally master powerful mysteries, while weak magicians can only master weak mysteries. The strong remain strong, and the weak remain weak, and this inheritance continues unchangingly.

Compared to the current situation, things will indeed change somewhat, but there won't be much difference. It's just that the exploited have changed from ordinary people to weak magicians.

To reiterate, if he were to reach a dead end, he might choose these less desirable options.

But the ideal outcome would undoubtedly be the creation of a completely new magic system.

It is indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But it's by no means impossible!

Ultimately, magic is still a concept, a derivative born from thousands of years of human history. So, as long as we push this era, turn the world in a direction different from magic, and sweep the concept of magic into the dustbin of history, we can make magic obscure and even disappear from the earth.

The subsequent reconstruction of the basic theories of magic had readily available thought magic as a reference, plus Roy's unprecedented Mystic Eye, which was incredibly similar to the Ten Commandments. Although the success rate was infinitely close to zero, it was definitely not completely zero.

In essence, Roy is not trying to solve all the tragedies created by human beings.

Given the nature of human beings, it is impossible for them not to create tragedies, whether out of good or bad intentions. Humans, as machines, will continue to produce evil. Even if Roy creates a completely new system in the future, it will still lead to new tragedies.
