Zongman: People are in a fight and are pushed down at the beginning

After hearing this, Tianxiang also remembered.

At that time, Tohka was pulled into a room by Shiori to sleep, but there seemed to be some faint sound coming from Nangong Shuo's room.

Tohka didn't take it seriously at first, but Tenka now feels curious about that voice.

What on earth was going on in the room to make that sound?

It seems to carry pain, yet also a feeling of happiness.

"Did you really do nothing in that store?"

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Shuo immediately thought of the banknotes left on the bedside.

His expression couldn't help but look a little strange.

Although later I vaguely realized that this might have been done by a white-haired girl.

But the other party didn't say anything about this, so when I went to their door, it felt like I was dissatisfied with what happened before and went there on purpose.

I'm not the girl who was tricked into the hotel. It's obviously a big profit for me. I can't just hold on to it, right?

At most, he was just a little indignant about her act of leaving the money.

"Judging from your expression, it seems that what you experienced was not very pleasant. In that case, forget it. If there is no other activity during the date, let's go back."

Tianxiang actually felt a little tired.

It’s just that I don’t know when Tohka will wake up, and I don’t want to waste time dating Nangong Shuo.

Her spiritual energy consumption today was no less than Nangong Shuo's. If her spiritual energy was not naturally abundant, she might have gone back to rest like Qin Li.

"Then let's go back first. You have to go to school tomorrow in this body."

Chapter 95: Humanity Burning Style

"Going to school? Tsk, what a hassle! Why hasn't Tohka woken up yet?"

In Nangong Shuo's memory, every time Tianxiang came out, it seemed that the spiritual power needed to be sealed again before Shixiang would wake up?

However, since she shares the same favorability with Tohka, basically just a kiss can turn Tenka back into Tohka.

When Nangong Shuo and Tianxiang returned to the Elf Apartment, they discovered that everyone was still sitting in the living room.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for the two of them to come back.

No one knew when Murasame Reine "woke up". She was sitting next to the coffee table, adding sugar to her coffee cup.

"Why aren't you all asleep yet?"

"How can we possibly sleep? We've already asked Kurumi, and she knows almost nothing. We can't find her true form now, so we can only wait here for you to come back."

I see, it's about Goetia.

"Ah, um, that's not something to worry about. After all, this is one of those things where there's no need to panic. It's a big problem, and panicking is pointless."

"Why don't you tell us what you know first, and then we can think of a solution together before you say such things!"

Because she had regained her spiritual power, Kotori Itsuka became even more irritable.

"Ah, have you ever heard of King Solomon?"

"King Solomon? The king of ancient Israel? What does this have to do with him?"

As a college student in Japan, a country that is known for its pro-foreign culture, Gokawa Shiori naturally saw various foreign histories or legendary heroic characters in various film and television works.

She had also heard about King Solomon praying to heaven for wisdom.

"Simply put, after King Solomon's death, someone took over his power and wisdom and created this massive magic ritual. The effect of this ritual is to exterminate all of humanity from its very origin."

"Huh? Is that guy crazy? He's going to exterminate all of humanity, so what's going to happen to him? He can't possibly exterminate himself, right?"

Nangong Shuo spread his hands.

"It's not a person. The Demon Pillars that Kotori saw before were seventy-two in total, and the entity formed by these seventy-two Demon Pillars is called Goetia. It was Goetia that occupied King Solomon's body."

When Kotori thought of that huge entity made up of countless flesh, blood, and eyes, she felt physically uncomfortable.

But according to the current situation, it seems that they still have to find a way to deal with these demon pillars.

"Since you said Goetia needs to sow seeds throughout history to completely destroy humanity, how many of these seeds are there? Can the single Demon Pillar we destroyed prevent the Incineration of Humanity?"

Nangong Shuo shook his head.

"I don't know the exact number. We don't have specialized instruments to detect that. As for whether destroying a Demon Pillar can stop Goetia's Human Principle Incineration, I can give you a clear answer. Goetia only needs to plant a wedge and then activate the ritual in the Temple of Time he created. The Human Principle Incineration will burn away the entire Human Principle. Even if all the wedges formed by the Demon Pillars are removed during this time, it will only prolong the burning time. The only way to stop Goetia is to eliminate Goetia himself."

"So where exactly is the Temple of Time where it is located?"

"This is our biggest problem. The Temple of Time is located at the end of human nature. We have no way of reaching it. Even if we were to find a way to reach it, we would have a hard time defeating Goetia, the monster born from King Solomon's corpse. It's a monster beyond the level of a god."

As Nangong Shuo spoke, he reached out to touch Tianxiang's head.

If it was Shixiang, she would probably be very happy to rub against Nangong Shuo's hand, but unfortunately it was Tianxiang who was controlling her body now. Tianxiang shook off Nangong Shuo's hand on her head.

Even though she has a high impression, Tianxiang is still not a straightforward person.

"I knew everything, but I couldn't stop it. It's like playing a game and finding that I've already reached a bad end, and I can't reload the game. Isn't that too hopeless?"

"What about that 'God'? Doesn't he still want to resurrect his beloved? Is he just going to watch Goetia burn all of humanity? Then wouldn't her beloved also..."

"Just like Nangong Shuo said, regardless of whether that 'God' can defeat Goetia, he can't even reach the Temple of Time."

This depressing emotion made everyone present feel a little depressed. Most of the people present were young girls. When they knew that a disaster was about to happen, even the elves felt scared and began to sob silently.

However, just when everyone was at a loss, a strange shadow emerged from the corner of the room.

"Greetings, everyone from Ratatosk. I heard you were looking for me?"

The first thing Tokisaki Kurumi did when she appeared was to lift her skirt.

Looks elegant and graceful.

But only she herself knew how devastated she was when she heard the news from her clone that Goetia was about to burn this world.

"Tokisaki Kurumi? Oh, yes, Miss Kurumi should have the information we need. Maybe with this last bit of information we can find a solution."

Seeing Tokisaki Kurumi coming, Gokawa Shiori wiped the crystal from the corner of his eyes and said to everyone.

"Ala, it seems everyone needs some important information. Let's exchange it."

……

Tokisaki Kurumi discussed with Nangong Shuo the reason and time of Gaetia's appearance, and Nangong Shuo's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

The looks people gave him from time to time made his face feel hot.

In this way, Nangong Shuo immediately figured out how Goetia appeared.

In that world, I only wanted to live a good life with Kurumi, so I wouldn't have many opportunities to draw Heroic Spirits, and it would be even more impossible for me to draw Goetia with my poor luck.

It turns out that the first caster I drew in that world was King Solomon, but in that world line I chose to be a pure love warrior and was fooled by Kurumi.

After confirming that her ability was of no use, Kurumi abandoned herself without hesitation.

This first betrayal almost triggered Nangong Shuo's frenzy and caused the world to explode.

After being calmed down by Shizhi with great difficulty, Nangong Shuo also made some preparations on his own.

He used the Magic King's spiritual base to make some command spells specifically to restrain his own frenzy.

Chapter 96: Elf Strategy Speeds Up Progress

However, Shiori got together with Kurumi again.

Shiori's betrayal and his behavior of being with his ex-lover dealt a heavy blow to his self in that world.

The most crucial thing is that after Shizhi confirmed in his consciousness that the self in that world was not an elf and would not lose control of his spiritual power like an elf, in order to appease other elves, he allocated less and less time to Nangong Shuo, and became more and more distant from the self in that world.

Repeated betrayals made it impossible for Nangong Shuo to suppress his raging rage even with the Command Spells he made with King Solomon's spiritual base.

Such a series of experiences would drive Qingji, a yandere girl with problems to begin with, crazy. Even an ordinary person would go crazy after experiencing these.

The result, of course, is that the frenzy can no longer be suppressed and is triggered.

Nangong Shuo in the King Solomon state almost exploded with the world on the spot, but King Solomon was not Goetia after all, and he still had certain limitations, for example: he could not make Nangong Shuo's body possess endless magic power all at once.

Therefore, because he did not seal the elves during his pure love affair, he was short of magic power, but was directly drained of his magic power by King Solomon who went berserk and used magic recklessly. The result of having no magic power, the source of life, left was naturally death.

This would explain Goetia's origins.

It is estimated that like Solomon in the original novel, his body was occupied by the Demon Pillar.

But I guess that body should still have some consciousness of its own, otherwise Kurumi would not be able to escape.

Hmm... Was it the system taking effect? ​​Or perhaps my previous self made some preparations before the Demon Pillar's counterattack. With the Magic King's spiritual power, it's not surprising that he could make some life-saving preparations.

As for the time of the Human Incineration Style, it has now been confirmed. In the original work, Goetia appeared when the elves were about to face Takamiya Mio. Kurumi also said that Takamiya Mio was killed in seconds by Goetia. In this case, Goetia should have launched the Human Incineration Style when the battle was about to end.

It seems that there is still time to rely on the system to see if it can extract enough heroic spirits to compete with Goetia.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Nangong Shuo.

She signaled him with her eyes to ask if this information was useful.

Nangong Shuo nodded.

"We should have nearly a year to come up with a solution, and during this year, progress on capturing elves cannot stop. In fact, the faster the better."

"Is it still possible to prepare after nearly a year? But why did you say that progress on capturing elves can't be stopped? At a time like this when the lives of all mankind are at stake, you're not still thinking about dating a beautiful girl, are you?"

Nangong Shuo came behind Shion, rubbed Shion's little head, and comforted the uneasy little rabbit.

"Of course not. My current relationship with the elves is mutually beneficial. By dating the elves, I can also obtain new Heroic Spirits. I don't have any Heroic Spirits that can deal with Goetia now, but that doesn't mean there won't be any Heroic Spirits that can deal with Goetia in the future. He has already made all the necessary preparations. In this case, we can only try our luck and see if we can encounter a Heroic Spirit that can defeat Goetia."

Kotori Itsuka roughly understood what it meant. In other words, if everyone wanted to stop Goetia now, they needed to support Nangong Shuo's Pokémon strategy activities.

Every time he successfully captures an elf, Nangong Shuo's chances of winning will increase.

Once the spirit base of the hero who can defeat Goetia is obtained, all these problems will naturally be solved.

Over the course of a year, Ratatoskr recorded seven more spirits that hadn't been sealed by Nangong Shuo. (At this time, Tobiichi Origami hadn't yet become a spirit, and Rokuko hadn't been detected.)

"Lingyin, repair Fraxinus as quickly as possible. Also, everyone, get some rest. Nangong Shuo will be preparing to capture a new Pokémon tomorrow."

Huh? New Pokémon? Aren't the next Pokémons supposed to be Yamai Yakuya and Yamai Yuzuru from Season 2? They haven't appeared yet, have they? Do I have to conquer the Sono-gami from the game story?

When Murasame Reine heard Kotori's order, she immediately set off to arrange for people to repair Fraxinus.

The damage to Fraxinus was very serious this time. If it is not repaired as soon as possible, it will be absolutely difficult to carry out the date operation to support Nangong Shuo.

"As for the others, go back and have a good rest today. We may need your support tomorrow."

Kotori Gokawa arranged everything, and she and Shiori Gokawa returned to the Gokawa family.

If we were to ask who has the most complicated feelings right now, it would naturally be Shiori Gokawa.

The person he loved, the once mighty knight, had suddenly become the last hope of mankind.

If humans want to survive, Nangong Shuo can only conquer more other elves.

But if he did that, he would completely lose the job he was responsible for in Ratatoskry.

Maybe I can just return to normal life and start my college life again.

But, but... I still feel so unwilling to accept it. This is obviously the first time I fall in love with a boy.

The two of them are so close, yet so far away.

Obviously, I don't care that there are other girls around him.

Even so, is there no chance for me to join in?

I don’t have spiritual power, so I can’t help Nangong like an elf. I don’t have strength, so I can’t fight alongside Nangong.

Perhaps I can only watch Nangong getting further and further away from me.

Until I can no longer see your back.

……

In the neighboring city not far from Tiangong City, a girl with pink hair and red eyes opened her eyes, looked in the direction of Tiangong City, and uttered a pleasant sound:

"Shizhi, you must be happy. No matter what happens to others, Shizhi must be happy."

……
