They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Lu Mingze raised his voice as he was about to stop talking, then retracted his arm, clenched it into a fist, and stopped the bleeding.

The pale golden ring, which was originally fully soaked in blood, now seemed to have absorbed the blood components. The faint blood color faded, and the surface regained its metallic cold light.

“…Cough cough…” Lu Mingze covered his mouth and coughed up blood like a critically ill patient.

"The injury is getting worse... We must speed up our actions before the world... is destroyed..."

He paused for a moment, put on the golden Solomon ring on his hand, and then snapped his fingers at the giant cocoon in the coffin and said, "...Rise again, my servant!"

Bang!

The white cocoon moved in response, like a powerful and rhythmic heart, causing the coffin to make clanging sounds on the wooden floor.

A dark-skinned hand tore open the cocoon, and a tall bronze figure crawled out.

He had long white hair and wore complicated and gorgeous clothes. When he stood up, he gave off an air of nobility. This attire looked like it was tailor-made for someone who was born to be a king.

The reborn person opened his eyes, looked around blankly at first, then lowered his head and repeatedly looked at his hands wearing nine rings.

"Do you remember yourself?" Lu Mingze suddenly asked from the side.

“…” No response.

"So your memory is damaged... From now on, you will be known as Humanismushosei Goetia."

Lu Mingze used to call this guy Black Snake. When it was a pet, he never called it by its previous name. It even forgot its previous name.

In that case, let’s use a new name to commemorate the new beginning.

"Goetia?"

"Yes, the word Goetia comes from the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, the Ars Goetia, which describes the information and summoning methods of 72 demons... And Solomon is the name of the original owner of your body."

"Solomon..."

Goetia recited and pondered Lu Mingze's words, and he carefully explored the tremendous vitality and amazing potential brought by this body.

At the same time... I also felt a deep connection between my body and the person before me. It was as if... they were of the same standard and closely connected.

"Are you... the original owner of this body?" Goetia asked after thinking for a moment.

"Oh?" Lu Mingze tilted his head in interest. "Do you think so? If you insist, you're not wrong."

He was indeed one of the original owners of Solomon's remains. It was he who sent Jiude Mai to steal the remains, so naturally they belonged to him.

As for the opinion of the Solomon Temple Council, that is not important.

"...I see, then you are my master." Gaetia followed suit and tilted his head like Lu Mingze.

"..." Lu Mingze suddenly put away his cynical look and returned to his serious and stern demeanor.

"..." Gaetia no longer tilted his head, but stood straight with a serious expression and holding his breath.

"...It seems you're prone to imitating your interlocutors. Is it because you don't have a well-defined personality of your own?"

Lu Mingze asked vaguely, but when he saw that Goetia couldn't answer, he quickly lost interest and returned to the main topic:

"With your eyes, can you see the truth of this world? How much can you see?"

"reality?"

Following Lu Mingze's instructions, Goetia subconsciously used the powerful functions of his body. His eyes were originally like ordinary eyes, and all he could see was the ancient church.

However, when he blinked and opened his eyes again, he saw an extraordinary and terrifying sight that was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine:

Verdant trees are piling up and multiplying in the distance, with countless tender buds, green leaves and dead leaves growing on the same branch at the same time. The trees are both growing and withering, with no difference between growth and death.

The endless and vast human swarm flickered. They did not look like humans, but like densely packed reptiles entangled with each other.

From the newborn to the young adult to the octogenarian, all the years piled up together like a maddening worm. Literally, it constitutes the entirety of life within the continuum of time and space...

This is a chaotic world.

“Focus!”

He heard Lu Mingze shouting beside him.

“Use your eyes and your brain to imagine and observe. You need to force yourself to observe not chaos but record it.”

"Record?"

“It’s like sheets of paper stapled together in a book, a record that can be turned over page by page.”

The scene before my eyes suddenly collapsed.

In the blink of an eye, what Goetia saw was no longer a chaotic scene, but a quiet and peaceful library. All he saw were books and papers filling the surroundings, with endless books piled up in all directions.

"...Is this the reality of the world?" Goetia whispered. Although it was a question, his tone was already certain. The hidden functions within his body were terrifying, and they could actually reach this point.

If Norton and Xia Mi were here, they would also be surprised, because they are currently unable to glimpse the essence of the world to such an extent.

"For those living in three-dimensional space, time is an axis along which events are arranged in sequence. But when insight reaches the fourth dimension—"

Lu Mingze took a book from the vast "World Library" and flipped through it casually. "You will find that the past and the future are no different. They are both clearly presented in this book. They coexist. Which event you want to present depends on which page you turn to."

He flung the book to Goetia. "If your insight were further enhanced, you would realize that there are many, many books placed side by side here."

Lu Mingze pointed at the endless books around him and took out a few more books.

Goetia opened the book in her hand and listened to Lu Mingze's words, "When you open different books, the world will appear different in front of you."

"This is like the observer theory in human quantum theory. The world is originally a wave function in a quantum superposition state. The development of countless world lines is countless unrealized waves. However, due to your observation, the observer, the wave function collapses, forming a real world that you observe."

Goetia quickly understood all this.

Lu Mingze briefly explained to him the structural pattern of this high-dimensional universe.

But he soon discovered a problem.

"Master, you and I are both observers. We are each flipping through different books. Does this mean that the world will present a superposition of different states?"

"Oh, yes, you're quick to grasp the idea," Lu Mingze said, turning the pages of the books he held in front of Goetia. "But observers are also divided into strong and weak. Different observers are like holding different scripts. Only the stronger observers can determine certain unchangeable script contents."

"In other words, it's fate."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the books in Lu Mingze's hands turned to the last page at the same time.

Gaetia's pupils trembled as he saw the contents of the last page. He subconsciously turned to the last page of the book in his hand, and surprisingly, the contents were exactly the same. The identical picture indicated:

"The world is destroyed."

He muttered subconsciously.

This script, as if engraved in all books according to some established rule, cannot be altered by anyone. This is undoubtedly the ending written by the most powerful observer, a device that holds the historical trend in check, unchangeable.

“How can we change this outcome?”

Lu Mingze closed the book after hearing this question. "That's a good question. The only way to change it is to make yourself a stronger observer, causing the wave function of the entire history to diverge again. Then, through your own observations, it collapses and re-anchors the new result."

“This is how you change the script and create a new world.”

Snapped.

There was a snapping sound from his fingertips.

The world returned to the small church.

Gaetia stared at the seemingly relaxed Lu Mingze and asked, "Master, is your wish to create a new world?"

"Me? Yeah."

Lu Mingze walked out of the church without looking back, the sunlight illuminating his pale skin. "However, I am no longer able to do anything. Perhaps, I can only watch how things develop."

After all, the chess pieces have been laid.

"I see."

Goetia followed suit.

He silently thought about how to make his observation ability stronger and reverse the anchored observation outcome.

Perhaps, he needs more "eyes", a large number of eyes as clones... According to the functions of this Solomon body, perhaps they should be called the Seventy-two Demons?

Now that the future is anchored, let’s create great things from the past and start all over again.

In this way, perhaps the process of destroying the old world and rebuilding a new world can be completed for him.

Chapter 255 Look in my eyes!

When Melyuchina was looking for Xia Mi, the latter was still talking to Norton in the rain.

"How are those two guys doing?"

Amid the sound of tinkling rain, Xia Mi asked quietly, "Those two guys," referring to Charlotte and Finkel.

After all, these two people knew the identities of several Dragon Kings, and their backgrounds included large-scale human organizations such as the Clock Tower and the Secret Party. If they were exposed, they would cause a lot of trouble for no reason.

Even though strange things happen frequently these days, magic, heroic spirits, the Holy Grail War and even gods appear one after another, it gives people the feeling that the Dragon King is not so ordinary.

However, the stubborn conservatives who focus their attention on their Dragon King will never disappear. It is not easy for a dragon-slaying family that has been passed down for thousands of years to change its traditional thinking.

They will even use new things as tools to enrich their dragon-slaying methods.

...For example, when making a wish to the Holy Grail, say something like "Dragons, get off the Earth, this world belongs to humans!"

"As for them, I've already modified their memories. They've returned safely. Don't worry, no secrets will be exposed."

Xia Mi was a little curious and asked, "What exactly was replaced with it?"

"I just changed our identities in their minds. For example, I'm the dean of Atlas Academy, and I inherit ancient alchemy that they don't know about... Anyway, this identity and information are mostly true."

"what about me?"

"You are... the little follower who is responsible for livening up the atmosphere?"

Xia Mi's eyes bulged and her face showed anger. She really wanted to beat this guy to death!

"Oh, there's one more thing," Norton pointed a finger in the rain. "Do you remember the crystal coffin you found underground in Tokyo?"

Norton was talking about the coffin that sealed Reggie Reeves.

After being pressed into the coffin, this woman was embedded in the earth veins transformed by Odin and used as a living pseudo-Holy Grail to serve as a magic battery for Lancer Valkyrie.

"That's it? ...Oh, the one we found along the way after Odin escaped?"

After Xia Mi and Norton finally defeated Valkyrie, they found that Odin had disappeared. After searching for a long time, they finally followed the traces of Odin's manipulation of the earth's veins and found the temporary alchemy workshop that the other party had abandoned in advance.

The coffin containing Saint Regislev fell into the hands of these people.

Norton pointed to the big villa and said, "I removed the seal and placed her and her coffin in your house."

"Eh? You're leaving now? Don't you want this person anymore?"

"No, without spending extra money, a pseudo-Holy Grail can't compare to the White King's. Forget it, I'll leave it to you. You go with Emiya and the others, I plan to leave on my own."

When Norton said this, his tone became obviously worse. "Besides, if you make any mistakes again, I'm afraid it will turn into an unmanageable situation again."

He couldn't stand Jörmungandr's excellent teammate, so he decided to leave it to Emiya. Norton decided to go it alone.

"What did you say!"

Xia Mi was furious at Norton's groundless slander. She tried to find a clever way to refute it... but she always felt that her rebuttal was extremely weak, so she had to come up with a mediocre reason:

"Well... do you remember the blood alliance between us? We've been allies for a long time! How could you abandon your allies and walk away like that?"

"Blood Alliance?" Norton seemed to have heard some huge joke.

"What are you talking about? The cooperation we originally agreed to was centered around the Holy Grail War. Now, the Holy Grail War is over, the Greater Holy Grail is destroyed, everything is over, and our cooperation has ceased. Do you think the Blood Alliance will still be effective forever?"

Xia Mi widened her eyes. No, Norton, why did you give up just like that after just one failure?

Cheer up quickly! Without your technical support, how can I regain control of Valhalla and summon the Servant Legion to fight against the Black King?

"Goodbye... No, don't say goodbye, hum..."

With an ambiguous cold snort, Norton turned into a flash of fire and disappeared, slipping away very quickly.

"You bastard Norton, if you have the nerve to call me a loser, then don't run away...!"

Xia Mi was planning to catch up.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind and held her tightly, making it impossible for her to get rid of it!

Xia Mi looked back and saw it was Melyuchina, who said coldly, "Why are you hiding here? Everyone is waiting for you to eat!"
