Use FGO to open the second dimension

"Really... Master, if you keep playing like this, you're going to kill yourself one day..."

Doremi shook her head helplessly, seemingly not intending to pursue Koizumi's actions any further. After all, there was no point in talking about it!

Let’s get back to the point and talk about business… Thinking of this, Doraemi looked to the side.

"Journey to the West!" Doremi called softly, and Youyouzi (Journey to the West Demon) slowly appeared beside Guquan.

"Youyouzi!" Upon seeing Youyouzi (Journey to the West), Koizumi showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Koizumi-kun..." Youyouzi (Journey to the West) chuckled and glanced at Doremi at the same time, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. There was nothing she could do, the way the other party addressed her was really unpleasant.

Youyouzi (Journey to the West) suffered a tragedy in her life because of the Journey to the West demon, but now being called the Journey to the West demon, doesn't it mean that she and the Journey to the West demon are one? Although she can indeed be considered one now, Youyouzi (Journey to the West demon) does not like being called that.

"Why did you let Yuyuko appear here? Also, Bartras and the others are still dealing with human evil outside, why did you suddenly call me to this dream world?" Koizumi couldn't help but have a look of confusion on his face.

"Of course, it's to deal with human evil! It's impossible for that Grand Master to completely kill her on his own. At best, he can only contend with her... And if we don't find the right way to kill her, then she's definitely not going to be able to be killed... If we want to kill that Beast, we have to first figure out why she appeared!"

Doraemi's face was very calm, as if she was not worried about the problems in the outside world at all.

While slowly explaining to Koizumi, he briefly glanced at the expression on Koizumi's face at that moment.

As Doremi expected, Koizumi fell into deep thought as he spoke these words.

"I see. For a moment, I forgot the reason why human evil appeared. The Vth Beast, Saigyo-chan, appeared because of the fusion of Yuyuko and Saigyo-chan, which gave rise to the Vth Beast. So what's the reason for the appearance of Nero, the Vth Beast? There's definitely something fishy going on here..." Koizumi nodded in agreement.

"Master, haven't you figured it out yet? This era is the era after Nero's death. As emperor, Nero was pushed down from the throne of supreme power, and then ushered in the most chaotic era in Rome - the [Age of the Four Emperors]. So, at this point, I don't think I need to say more..."

Doremi didn't give a direct explanation, but instead gave Koizumi some reminders.

She believed that if she gave him a little reminder, with Koizumi's intelligence, he would undoubtedly understand everything quickly.

As Doremi expected, after being reminded to this extent, Koizumi's face showed a look of realization.

"I understand. This is what you call obsession? And Romulus also said that there is a forbidden beast living in Nero's heart. It is undoubtedly the Beast. Because he is unwilling to accept his own tragic end, has he awakened?"

Koizumi's brows knitted together slightly, and he nodded slightly.

"That's right. Nero's body is currently at the border of life and death. It's a very special space. Nero will be forever in a state of neither life nor death. The pain will continue forever... How pitiful... Only the evil beast occupies Nero's body, fighting in the outside world until its wish is fulfilled!"

Doremi nodded slowly and continued explaining to Koizumi.

"The boundary between life and death? What is that place?" Gu Quan couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt on his face.

"That's a very special dimension, a space of infinite reincarnation that can only be entered by those trapped in a state of neither life nor death. Those who know about this dimension are generally those who wield the power of life and death... Guquan-kun hasn't mastered the power of life and death for long, and hasn't had the time to delve into it, so it's normal that he doesn't know..."

Youyouzi (Journey to the West) said this lightly.

Hearing this, Koizumi nodded slightly. After all, Youyouzi (Journey to the West) was right. He didn't often delve into this power... so it was normal for him not to know...

"Then, Master, I and the Westward Journey Demon will deliver you to Nero's true form. The job of talking nonsense will be left to you, Master! Only when Nero lets go of his obsession can the evil beast outside be completely killed!"

Hearing this, Koizumi nodded slightly, his eyes subconsciously glancing towards his right hand as he pondered.

——Those are the three Command Seals in my hand...

Chapter 585: Scarlet Fantasy of All Humanity

This was a competition of magic, and one had to admit that both Claudius and Seneca's magic was very powerful.

As the Roman Emperor Claudius lived in an era relatively close to the Age of Gods, his magic was undoubtedly incomparable to modern magic. The power of this magic alone is enough to make modern magicians intoxicated.

Little did she know that when Ritsuka was watching the battle between Patchouli and her two servants, a look of shock could not help but appear on her face. As a modern magician, Ritsuka must be very envious of Patchouli's magical attainments.

If I could possess such combat power, there is no doubt that I could help Mashu a lot.

Although he can also strengthen Mashu, Ritsuka is still more or less dissatisfied with his own strength.

The battle between Patchouli, Claudius, and Seneca before their eyes could no longer be described simply as colorful. If either side took even the slightest wrong step, they would be swallowed up by this infinitely powerful magic.

Patchouli faced the two people's magic with a serious face. The magic power she wielded had never been so powerful!

In Gensokyo, Patchouli had never fought so seriously before. These two guys brought her extremely huge pressure. Claudius and Seneca were undoubtedly using the magic of the Age of Gods of the Roman system!

Modern magicians cannot match the magicians of the Age of Gods, not because of quantity, but because of quality!

However, Patchouli is no less capable than the other two. In her library, there are also many magic books from the Age of Gods!

Light bombs like a violent storm! Fierce winds like a violent tornado! Thunder like divine punishment!

Wait, wait, wait... Various attacks are sweeping around here, and the slightest mistake will lead to falling into the abyss!

Patchouli began to pant a little. She had to admit that this battle was really tricky...

She could delay time, but Patchouli thought she couldn't kill these two guys!

If it wasn't Nero who was commanding these two servants, Patchouli might be able to use her almost endless supply of magic power to wear the other party down to death, but now it seems that she is the one who will be dragged to death!

"This is truly a massive magecraft... This is approaching the level of magic in this world..."

Although Claudius didn't live in the Age of Gods, it was still relatively close to the Roman mythological era...

As for the level and power of the opponent's magic, although Patchouli had never seen the magic of this world, she could roughly estimate the power of this world's magic. Moreover, when Patchouli descended, she also roughly knew the five major magics of this world, such as parallel time and space, soul materialization, and blue magic...

Patchouli had already roughly calculated the power of this world's magic, and was deeply surprised by the strength of Claudius and Seneca. This power was truly terrifying... This was why Patchouli believed that she could only contain the other party... Delaying time was basically her limit...

"This is not a solution!" Patchouli frowned slightly, feeling anxious subconsciously.

Every spell cast by the opponent is a great magic that is close to the level of magic. Even if dozens of magicians work together, it would require an instant contract to complete such a huge project. However, for the magicians of the Age of Gods who have manifested their heroic spirits, it only takes a short moment!

Caster Claudius and Caster Seneca, summoned by the human evil Nero Claudius, undoubtedly represent the pinnacle of magic in the Roman Empire!

At this moment, with the two of them joining forces, even a first-rate servant would be defeated.

Patchouli's strength is indeed at the level of a first-class servant, but facing the combination of the two of them, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. To be honest, she had never encountered such a difficult battle!

Not only was Patchouli's battle difficult, but so were Mashu, Cu Chulainn, and the others...

Romulus, Tiberius, and the divine Augustus were undoubtedly formidable rivals.

Apart from other things, as the founding father of Rome, Romulus's bonus is also very terrifying when standing on Roman soil. And there is the god Augustus, who made great contributions to Rome as Octavian during his lifetime. After Octavian's death, he was immediately listed among the gods and deified. After his arrival as a heroic spirit, his strength is also solid!

Therefore, when facing the three servants, the pressure on Mashu and others is extremely huge!

"Lady Patchouli..." While fighting against Caesar, Sakuya was also paying attention to Patchouli's direction.

Sakuya knew very well that Patchouli was in poor health. It would be terrible if she vomited blood during the battle...

Sakuya could tell that Patchouli deployed her Noble Phantasm in order to suppress her own reserved skills.

If her treasure is destroyed, Patchouli's illness will completely break out.

So she also needs to keep an eye on Patchouli's direction, for fear that something might go wrong!

"You don't have time to pay attention to others now!" Caesar's voice suddenly sounded.

Sakuya was shocked, and the next moment, Sakuya's figure disappeared from Caesar's sight.

That's right! The same thing happened with the fight between Sakuya and Caesar... There was no time to pay attention to anyone else!

For a moment, Sakuya was unable to kill Caesar in front of her. It was obvious that Caesar had noticed her ability!

"Trouble..." Sakuya frowned slightly, feeling heavy in her heart.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a huge amount of magical power suddenly rose nearby.

"Oh! It looks like the situation is not favorable for us! Just right! I was bored! I am the one who is in the top of the world, the one who is in the sky! No matter who the enemy is, just come at me! I will defeat them all and show you!"

Suddenly, the prince came to Patchouli with the sword of fantasy in his hand. He looked at Seneca and Claudius in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Seeing that he was better than the Emperor, Patchouli breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

Although this bad guy is a headache for people, one thing is beyond doubt.

This celestial being, who possesses many treasures from the heaven, undoubtedly possesses first-class or even top-notch strength, so this guy's strength is still very reassuring.

Tianzi glanced at Patchouli behind him, then continued to cast his gaze on Claudius and Seneca. The Scarlet Fantasy Sword in his hand began to transform the [Aura] of the people around him into scarlet mist. Then, the scarlet mist began to gather towards the Scarlet Fantasy Sword and entangled around the sword body.

A huge amount of magical power began to surge, and there was no doubt that this was a blow from the Noble Phantasm!

"Leave it to me now! Magician! I'll give them a great reward first!"

"The weather in the sky, the peace of the earth, and the temperament of mankind—all are in my hands! What exactly does the crimson mist attract? Look carefully, this is the Scarlet Heaven of all mankind!"

Chapter 586 Nero: It’s me who doesn’t understand love

This is a wilderness covered with dry rocks, and the evening wind howls, as if it is emitting bursts of wailing.

The withered yellow sunset and endless wilderness seem to symbolize despair, filling people's hearts.

Here, an emperor was lying in a pool of blood, his body twitching in pain.

Blood continuously flowed from his neck, and the emperor's face looked extremely pale, his beauty slightly obscured by this misery. Under normal circumstances, he should have died from excessive bleeding after losing so much blood, but in this place, there was no death, no life, only a state of neither life nor death...

Like now, this existence should have died, but it just couldn't get a quick death...

Looking at the wilderness in front of him, the emperor's eyes gradually became deep. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. Although he was unwilling to die in such a tragic way, what could he do?

—Nero Claudius, the emperor who deeply loved Rome, ultimately met such a tragic death...

Exiled from Rome, dying in the wilderness, sighing at his own end... But there was nothing he could do about it...

No matter who you are, there will come a time when you will die, but this moment comes a little too quickly.

No one could quite grasp what Nero was thinking at this moment... Was it a sigh? Hatred? Resentment?

There is no way to know any of this...but one thing is certain: Nero would never hate Rome.

As the Roman emperor, she loved Rome, the city she ruled, and her people more deeply than anyone else. But—was there something wrong with the form of her love? Perhaps until this moment, she hadn't realized that her love was like a poison to others.

Nero couldn't help but ponder. Was there such a big difference between the form of love in my heart and theirs? He clearly loved his people without pretense or reservation. But was he saying that this was wrong?

...Hmm...My love seems to be different from the love that my people know.

Having been pierced through the throat with a dagger, Nero, teetering on the brink of death, finally had enough time to reflect on his life with a calm mind. Compared to others, he had been too unrestrained in his love.

A tyrant's love is the tyrant's capriciousness: while giving everything, he will not stop until everything is taken away as a price. Love beautiful things, things worth loving, with all your heart.

But it was just a flame that hurt both oneself and others! The love people hold is a gentler thing, I just never understood this... No, although I more or less realized it, I just couldn't understand it.

To me, the love they talked about was something I could never understand.

...Perhaps it is this incomprehension that is the biggest reason that slowly pushes Emperor Yu into a dead end.

Though she couldn't quite put her finger on it, after all their lives together, the form of love she and others felt was indeed different. A love that gave everything, consumed everything, and burned everything out. A passionate love that hoped for prosperity but not for eternity. Emperor Nero loved his people, and that was right. But the love people spoke of was different from hers... Was this discrepancy the cause of her demise?

Nero couldn't help but sneer. Isn't this natural?

The so-called love is nothing more than my self-righteousness! There is no need for them to respond to my self-righteousness, so I feel very unwilling. Why can't I have the love that everyone takes for granted?

It's too late... it's too late... until now...

Nero looked at the blood-red sunset from afar, and his thoughts seemed to go back to the moment when he was about to commit suicide.

"It's so shameful... I'm actually so afraid of death..."

Nero smiled bitterly, as if remembering the scene when he was crying and preparing to commit suicide with a dagger in his hand.

Everyone has a fear of death. Soldiers on the battlefield are usually not afraid of being killed. However, being killed is different from committing suicide. The former is not an issue for the time being, but the latter requires even greater courage...

When you are alone, holding a dagger, the fear of death will undoubtedly spread throughout your body.

"If I could be alone with you, I might end my life contentedly..."

Unable to possess love, nor the right to be loved by others, the girl remains alone until the end.

A girl who clearly loves someone more than anyone else, yet can never possess the right to be loved by others, how tragic! Only in the end did she understand the difference between her own love and the love of others! How insensitive!

But even so, the girl would not cry loudly, only because she still retained the last dignity as an emperor!

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came slowly, and Nero couldn't help but look over.

I saw Koizumi looking around as he slowly approached, a look of deep amazement on his face.

Yes, it was indeed amazing. He was amazed that Doremi and Youyouko (Journey to the West) could do this. Although he knew that Doremi possessed the power of the creator god, he could not help but be shocked when he actually saw the other party connected to another world.

Using the power of death controlled by Youyouzi (Journey to the West) to directly connect the boundary between life and death is really... terrifying!

The next moment, Koizumi's gaze turned to Nero, a somewhat complex expression emerging in his eyes.

Although this guy is a notorious tyrant in Rome, at least he has won Koizumi's favor and many of his ways of doing things are also pleasing to Koizumi. Although holding a banquet with this guy is quite a test of one's heart's endurance.

"Hmm... who are you? How could you show up here?" Nero looked at Koizumi with curiosity.

Koizumi is well aware that Nero has no memories of him.

This guy has been reincarnated here, and his original body's memories are stored in the evil side of humanity...

Only when Nero's consciousness returns will his memories be restored, and he will become the Nero that Koizumi knew before.
