After leaving the world of all NPCs

He has existed in this state for decades, and has spent half his life building this ultimate existence of the city of science and superpowers.

It is rumored that he had suffered a near-death injury and had been placed on life support ever since, with all his physiological activities, including thinking, being performed by cold machines.

It is said that he has spread 50 million nano-monitors called "hover loops" in this sunless fortress to control every corner of the city.

If the world is divided into two major camps, science and magic, then half of the scientific camp is in the hands of this being hanging upside down in the fluid of life.

In the darkness of Academy City, almost every shadow entangled his will.

He is the mastermind behind countless plans.

Invisibly, it is changing the direction of the world.

Ye Zuochen broke the silence: "How do you feel after discovering that the demon gods have completely disappeared?"

Aleister's voice echoed through the dead silence. "It feels terrible. It's absurd to think that someone else has plucked the fruits of my life's work before I can even begin to grasp them."

"Futility is the norm in life." Ye Zuochen's tone was as flat as if he was stating a simple fact: "Look at the bright side. At least you now have a chance to save your family."

"Angels and demons alike were either reduced to ashes by the power of the Chaos Bell or relegated to the status of 'unbecome gods'."

"The burden on your shoulders should be much lighter, right?"

Aleister's voice was calm. "So, I want to thank you? The 'Demon God' from another universe?"

"I'm not a demon god." Ye Zuochen shook his head in denial, "I'm just an ordinary person who usurped the power of a god."

"Usurping... the power of the gods?"

The upside-down figure seemed to move slightly, causing tiny ripples in the liquid.

Ye Zuochen said calmly, "It seems that when Taiyi God annexed the universe, this job was indeed a bit crude. Otherwise, with your research on 'other worlds', you should have figured out a way to project 'spiritual vision' into other universes long ago."

Aleister said, "You seem to know a lot."

"I'm sorry, but I always believe in fair trade." Ye Zuochen spread his hands. "Since you've suspended the artificial heaven project, I can reveal some details to you, but that's all."

"I understand." Aleister's voice returned to normal. "Then, what price must I pay...in exchange for you answering my questions?"

Ye Zuochen chuckled. "You haven't stopped since I stepped into this place, have you? You've been using magic and science non-stop, but nothing's working. You're at your wit's end, so you decided to have a good talk, right?"

"Yes," Aleister admitted frankly, "Scientific methods, even nanometer-scale units, will suddenly disappear the moment they touch you.

"As for magic, all magic is ineffective on you. Perhaps angel magic can be of some use."

"But unfortunately, now that the phase is far away from us, that spell can no longer be used."

He paused, "So, how do we trade?"

"You can ask first." Ye Zuochen looked at the upside-down figure leisurely. "I will determine the price based on the content and value of the answer."

"You're quite the hardliner." Aleister's voice was emotionless. "But I agree. You've answered quite a few of my questions. Now, I just want to ask one last question: How can I meet the 'god'?"

Ye Zuochen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Interesting question, why are you so obsessed with this?"

"Is the answer to this question also included in the 'price' that needs to be paid?" Aleister asked.

"Of course." Ye Zuochen answered decisively.

"This world, distorted by the gods, is truly too half-baked," Aleister explained. "The objective reality advocated by science is the true and perfect Age of Horus. But now the universe has become the Age of Horus, and it is right before our eyes."

"However, all these changes are just a trick of replacing the old gods with new ones."

"The one who replaced the Demon God is still another god."

"The world today is still being manipulated by another group of higher-dimensional manipulators."

"In that case, I want to see these rulers with my own eyes. I want to see the true nature of 'God' with my own eyes."

Ye Zuochen listened to this declaration quietly before saying, "After meeting the gods, you will probably make a new decision, right?"

"You are the kind of person who, once you start doing something, you will devote all your energy and concentration to it. However, you are also a magician who acts spontaneously."

"Okay, it's okay to tell you." Ye Zuochen's tone became relaxed: "You don't have to do anything."

"Soon, a god will come to hunt us down."

"Of course, if you really can't sit still, you can also try to actively summon the gods to kill time."

"Is the summoned deity the one who rang the Cosmic Bell three times?" Aleister asked sharply.

"Of course not." Ye Zuochen shook his head. "In order to protect human history, any god who comes to Earth will fall into madness, which means their brain will be damaged. At the same time, they will not remember anything about the Undead Realm."

Aleister asked again, "They have no personality?"

Ye Zuochen shook his head. "No, there are. Their thinking comes from the myths circulating on Earth. Just like actors immersed in their roles, they play 'characters' woven from human mythology."

"I understand." Aleister had already made up his mind. "For now, I have no other questions. You need me to pay the price."

Ye Zuochen smiled faintly: "As I said, a god will come from another universe to kill me. If I run around, he might not be able to find me, so you have to prepare everything I need to wait."

Aleister calmly replied, "As you wish, I will pay the simple sum and summon the deity as you wish."

Ye Zuochen smiled.

"You are indeed very clever. If you had not summoned the gods, you would be dead now."

Aleister was also calm and composed: "It seems that at least until I successfully summon the gods, I am safe."

The two reached a consensus smoothly.

……

seaside.

The scorching sun pours down generously on the boundless coastline, baking the soft white sand so hot that stepping on it barefoot would cause a slight burning pain.

The waves came tirelessly, breaking into pieces of snow-white foam at the edge of the beach, making a lazy sound.

The air is filled with a salty and free smell.

Ye Zuochen stood in the shallow water, letting the cool sea water gently lick his ankles. Wearing a simple pair of black swimming trunks, his well-proportioned and youthful body lines were fully revealed.

Shokuhou Misaki was standing not far from him, wearing a boldly designed white star-striped bikini that perfectly highlighted her curves beyond her age.

The slender waist seemed too thin to be grasped.

The long and straight legs are displayed generously in front of you.

Deep within the dazzling golden pupils, a star-shaped mark was clearly embedded.

The sea breeze blew by, and her long honey-colored hair fluttered in the wind, and a faint sweet fragrance seemed to emanate from her hair.

"Dolly! Slow down! Watch your step!"

Jingce looked at me with a hint of helplessness and worry in his voice.

She was wearing a pink swimsuit and her long purple hair was tied into playful twin ponytails, jumping lively as she chased.

Purple eyes closely followed the slender figure in front.

It was Dolly.

The girl was wearing a relatively conservative light blue one-piece swimsuit, and she was so thin that she seemed like she could be blown away by a gust of sea breeze.

Her short brown hair was wet and stuck to her forehead. Because there was no hairpin to hold it in place, a few strands of bangs hung down, covering some of her brown eyes, which always had a hint of sadness.

At this moment, a rare childlike excitement shone in these eyes.

Like a fawn that had just escaped from its cage, it ran barefoot on the beach, chasing the receding waves, and then ran away screaming and laughing when the next wave came. Its slender ankles left two lines of deep, shallow, crooked footprints on the wet sand.

The sunlight shone on her, and her thin figure seemed to be stained with a layer of brief golden vitality.

This is the person Shokuhou Misaki wants to save.

About a year ago, Shokuhou Misaki was assigned to help Dolly regain her peace of mind after she lost her only friend.

Because Shokuhou Misaki didn't have the ability to tamper with memories at that time, she could only let Dolly mistake her for "Kiseki Kandou".

Shokuhou Misaki comes to Dolly's place every day and gradually starts to treat her as a friend.

In fact, Dolly had already discovered through the smell that Shokuhou Misaki was not a warning.

When Dolly was dying, she begged Shokuhou Misaki to tell her her name. Only then did Shokuhou Misaki realize that Dolly truly regarded her as a friend, which had a great impact on Shokuhou Misaki's spirit.

After that, a lot of things happened.

Feeling exhausted from everything she'd been through, Shokuhou Misaki wants to erase her memories.

In the original work, Shokuhou Misaki should meet the protagonist of the original work.

However, because the "Demon God" was led by Taiyi into the [Myth], the script of the universe changed, affecting both the past and the future.

That is...

Kamijou Touma didn't get the Imagine Breaker, and although he still possessed other powers, he wasn't sent to Academy City because he was no longer surrounded by rumors of "bad luck."

Shokuhou Misaki also didn't see Kamijou Touma.

However, she seems to have met Mitsuari Ayu...

In short, after a series of events, Shokuhou Misaki finally cheered up.

Afterwards, he was sent to the past by [Weiran Shenshangtong] and the past was changed.

"However, this new world's power of correction seems somewhat weak. No, it's not weak, but rather an indifferent attitude. In other words, there is absolutely no motivation to correct the past history based on the 'religious phase' worldview?"

Ye Zuochen muttered inwardly, his gaze withdrawing from the sea to rest on Shokuhou Misaki beside him. "Aren't you going to follow? It looks like Keiseki-san is having a hard time chasing after them."

Shokuhou Misaki was fiddling with the warm sand beneath her feet with her brightly painted toes, bored. Upon hearing this, she turned her head and glanced at Ye Zuochen with her golden starry eyes.

"Well, Dolly's body is incredibly healthy now. It's like she's got a perpetual motion machine."

"I understand, I understand." Ye Zuochen's smile deepened, a hint of mischief in his voice. "After all, someone would be so tired after running just a few steps that they felt like they were melting on the beach."

"Hate it!" Shokuhou Misaki immediately blushed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her golden eyes glared at him angrily, and she raised her hand as if to hit him. "Don't say that, idiot!"

The slender fingers poked Ye Zuochen's strong arm with a little force, more like a coquettish gesture than an attack.

Ye Zuochen dodged with a smile and gently grabbed her wrist which was causing trouble.

The two played back and forth on the beach for a while, the fine sand was kicked up, and their laughter mixed in the sea breeze.

Shokuhou Misaki finally stopped panting, her slightly heaving chest drawing an alluring curve under the golden bikini. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, her starry eyes moving, suddenly replaced by a curious and inquisitive look.

"Come to think of it, I never expected that the high-ranking chairman would be so understanding this time."

"Not only did they completely halt the 'Mass Production Project' and the 'Absolute Project', but they even showed some mercy by allowing us, the precious experimental materials, to leave Academy City and play at the beach?"

"How did you do that? Did you use some kind of magic~~☆"

She asked half-jokingly, unconsciously twirling a lock of her honey-colored hair between her fingertips.

Ye Zuochen released her hand and returned his gaze to the shimmering sea. "Your chairman is actually a magician, so he understands my invincibility. He also wants to summon gods for his own purposes in order to understand what gods are."

"A magician?" Shokuhou Misaki's golden eyes widened instantly. "Are you saying that the chairman who founded Academy City and stands at the pinnacle of science is actually a magician?"

Ye Zuochen nodded slightly and continued, "In a sense, superpowers are also a form of magic. You could even say that the essence of this world is built on magic. But that's all in the past now. After all, all the aspects have been stripped away."

"The religious phase was transformed into the mythological phase, but the reason for the transformation was simply because 'Taiyi God' found it troublesome."

“Rather than rewriting human history, it’s better to just stick with the existing human history.”

"So, magic can still be used now, and all the principles of magic can still work. However, after the phase separation, the world now is not the hue of countless overlapping layers, but the original hue."

"All of Aleister's plans are about to change, so he won't want to offend me before he understands the situation, nor does he want to act without certainty."

Shokuhou Misaki was completely stunned, her rosy lips slightly parted, and she was speechless for a long time, trying to digest this heavenly information.

Magic? Phase? Deity? Stripping?

Each word was like a heavy stone thrown into the deep pool of her cognition, stirring up chaotic ripples.

"That sounds like a completely incomprehensible secret." Shokuhou Misaki let out a soft breath, a hint of frustration in her eyes, but the flame of curiosity in her golden eyes was completely ignited. "But as for magicians... I'm a little curious to see them. After all, you call yourself the King of Magicians, so your magic power must be the highest~~☆"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zuochen casually took out his phone and checked the current time. He then said, "If you want to see him? You'll be able to see him when we get back."

Shokuhou Misaki stared at him, the sea breeze blowing her honey-colored hair against her cheeks. She opened her red lips slightly, "Really? Then... I'll look forward to it for a while."

……

The morning light is like golden gauze, passing through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and spreading warm and bright spots of light in the living room of the villa.

Ye Zuochen walked out on the soft carpet, and his joints made a series of slight crisp sounds as he stretched his body.
