Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

This guy isn't just presumptuously assuming this is his limit; I don't even know my own true limit!

If that's the case, that's enough.

Under immense pressure, Sun Wukong (Monkey King) Fujimaru Ritsuka stomped his foot on the ground, and as he leaped, he swung his golden cudgel at the goat Fujimaru Ritsuka with a thunderous roar.

This is the ultimate way of the king.

Generally speaking, as a vessel to bear the weight of God, its physical attributes and magic circuits must be extremely rigorous, because if it is not careful, the vessel itself will fall into some indescribable state and collapse...

However, the prelude to Fujimaru Ritsuka's new summoning ritual, the Divine Summoning, is not so restricted. Rather than saying that the god on her body entrusted her with the Divine Summoning, it would be more accurate to say that the girl herself can use these Divine Summonings at will. Furthermore, because of the Merry and Edmund that she protects in the spiritual world, the girl is undoubtedly the so-called 'person of possibility', which corresponds to the perspective of the god.

Its effects are as seen.

This is precisely the sea-suppressing treasure that the Victorious Fighting Buddha would wield as an anchor during battle.

Furthermore, thanks to Fujimaru Ritsuka himself, its power, precision, and speed are comparable to the manifestation of a god.

The seawater from the edge of the world surged from Ritsuka's hand and instantly enveloped the entire Golden Cudgel.

however.

Even so, Ritsuka did not have an absolute advantage over Goat Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It's not something to be mysterious.

Rather, it exists.

The overwhelming concept and the oppressive force that transforms the world he encounters into his own dream are only part of it. Azathoth is not simply a terrifying and blind god, but rather so pure that no one can comprehend everything about him.

She didn't need to ask questions or communicate; with just one glance, she could tell that her current best vessel had received some kind of support.

See this.

"So that's how it is. This is 'me'?"

Goat Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled.

Since Ritsuka left, she has indeed been unable to speak, but since this body originally belonged to Fujimaru Ritsuka, they can communicate through their minds.

“You do have that value.”

For Him, who had once been asleep, this was, in a sense, one of the most cherished dreams—

On the same planet, a woman's mesmerizing voice echoed beyond the planet's reach, reverberating among the stars: "The planet will face its final revelation, and once again, humanity will find its rightful place in Eden." If she had succeeded, then she would no longer need any vessel to adapt.

For beings called 'Cthulhu' who are essentially Outer Gods, the prerequisite for coming to this planet is a suitable vessel; otherwise, it would be difficult for them to descend, and even if they were to force their way in, they would be subject to many restrictions. There is no way around it.

This is mainly due to the planet's resistance and the universe's vigilance.

As He who resides above Nyarlathotep, He is capable of eroding galaxies and unconditionally severing them as 'different dreams' for eternal preservation. By expanding His own sleep time and scope, He transforms the galaxy into a part of the countless seas of the royal court, causing any life form to be reduced to a lower-dimensional existence. Upon witnessing this, Nyarlathotep will then present it with a playful spectacle akin to a grand drama.

"I--"

"Ritsuka's value is beyond your ability to express."

Perhaps it was Ritsuka's intention, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but Novia did hear her words. So, before Ritsuka could answer, Novia's voice rang out on the battlefield between the two.

The radiant light of Buddha swept across the chaotic holy city of Jerusalem.

One chant after another of the Buddha's chants transformed into golden walls, creating boundaries. The astonishing impact swept across everything, shocking the singularity that had been forcibly absorbed by the evil god.

The singularity then floated up and returned to the sea planet.

Like seawater leaving the ocean, Novia's power of the Lamp broke through the endless dream of the evil god—

This is precisely a slight manifestation of its Noble Phantasm: All Light Like a Lamp, Every Moment and Every Eternity.

Even blindness should be bowed before it.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a cheerful hum.

Since they are the same body, He can naturally feel the heartfelt joy of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

In fact, comparing the scale of Sun Wukong and Azathoth, the former is theoretically far inferior to the latter. However, Ritsuka's brief statement earlier freed her from the blind god's control, which is probably why she has always resisted and is the best vessel for Azathoth...

As a result, both sides saw through each other's battle strategies, and even with Novia's assistance, the battle lasted for a long time.

Whether it's the pure power of Goat Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ritsuka's golden cudgel, or Novia's Buddha light, although they all contain the power to easily change the world, they seem to have been meticulously planned in advance, and the battle continues incessantly.

It's like black holes born on Earth colliding, each collision unleashing astonishing magic.

In one clash after another, Fujimaru Ritsuka questions the evil god who uses her face.

"In any case, you don't have much time left, do you?"

At this moment, Azathoth Fujimaru Ritsuka was like a spent arrow, after all, having lost his vessel, he was showing off his power so ostentatiously with the help of the real Holy Grail, but in the end it was a castle in the air, and he would naturally collapse under the Buddha's light of Novia, and eventually had to fade away.

Of course, theoretically there should have been an astonishing destruction sweeping across the land, but in this situation, He should have restrained Himself.

Ritsuka didn't know how to describe Him.

Despite displaying such violence, he hadn't even entered a serious state.

Puzzling.

"So what exactly is your purpose?"

"This is a pointless question."

"answer me."

"Take him away, we've been waiting for this for a long time."

"us……"

Upon hearing this, Novia, who was standing to the side, was taken aback. "Besides you, who else?"

"You've seen it."

The evil god continued, "On this planet."

In Novia's memory, the only Outer Gods whom Azathoth spoke of in this way were Yog and Nyar.

So, does it refer to just one of these two? Or both? Or perhaps... Abby?

While pondering, Novia glanced at the 'Lion King' who was still sitting expressionlessly in the Third Temple in Jerusalem, and then recalled her instinctive thoughts when she dreamt of Azathoth Fujimaru Ritsuka in Fairy Britain.

In the pitch-black space where time and space seemed to melt away ambiguously like mottled ropes, everything in my body gradually dissolved into nothingness.

It was warm, peaceful, and even comfortable.

Just as a child is born from its mother.

It seems that there is nothing in it, yet there is everything.

Therefore, he didn't dislike this feeling, and coupled with the recent sudden appearance of an unknown woman's image in Novia, he said this:

"...Could it be that you are my mother, whom I have never met?"

Fortunately, only Fujimaru Ritsuka could hear these words. If Kama, who was not on the battlefield, had heard them, he would probably have been shocked before making a fuss.

"puff."

Laughter rang out.

It originated from the mouth of the Lion King, who was still seated in the Third Temple, but only for a moment, because when Novia looked over, the Lion King was again expressionless, resting his chin on his hand, his profile like that of a god enjoying a magnificent opera.

Immediately afterwards, Novia felt someone grasp his hand.

It wasn't a normal human hand, but a gigantic demon's claw.

"...I feel that you always get along with all sorts of things very quickly."

The one who grabbed Novia's hand was Ritsuka Goat Fujimaru, and for some reason Novia felt that her tone might sound a bit like she was being difficult.

"But I thought to myself, since you laughed, let's just leave it at that."

Her expression was so happy and nostalgic that it almost made you forget that the two were now enemies.

"...?"

Ritsuka herself stared at this scene in disbelief, feeling as if she could barely hold onto the golden cudgel in her hand.

No, what kind of development is this? Consultant, you have a family, don't get so involved with shady characters...

And it's using my face, how embarrassing... Now, looking at it, it's grown taller, its hands have turned into claws, its feet have turned into hooves, it's grown goat horns, and it even has a third purple eye, it's inexplicably even more embarrassing, okay...

“But the reason I allowed it was because I thought that ‘even if you’re with Yog, you’ll always be by my side,’ so I fell asleep without worry… But when I woke up, you weren’t by my side, and I was very worried. That’s all I care about.”

What a tender declaration it was, so much so that Novia was stunned and didn't know how to respond to this foreign god.

She spoke very gently, but... I really don't know her.

Novia racked her brains but still couldn't understand why Azathoth, if not her 'mother,' would treat her this way, especially since Yog had been with her the whole time. In other words, was this Yog's purpose in Central and South America? And was Abby with Yog...?

Things have become a bit delicate.

Novia couldn't help but think so.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, the goat, chuckled softly at Novia's appearance and then spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was using Sun Wukong's powers.

"Why do you think I should refer to you as 'I'?"

"Who knows!"

"Because this body is one aspect of you, and the reason you manifest this aspect is entirely due to the anchor."

As soon as Goat Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, she touched her stomach with her hand, “I was tricked by that Morai into using the real Holy Grail to tamper with the body of the ‘Lord of Fertility’ and put it into your body. This was not on my orders or the orders of the gauze, but because she, who used the power of the gauze, knew your inner desires.”

"What I truly desire is... reproduction?"

"Because you're always thinking about him, I've read your senses and exchanged perceptions with you."

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka felt her cheeks burning.

"The deepest desire is for humans to have sex with each other, haha."

"...I didn't, I didn't..."

However, the fact that the lone consultant in Novia seemed to be in pain made me think that way.

Fujimaru Ritsuka rationally believed that it was because Novia's family was not present.

And because she also deeply understood how painful it was to be alone without family, she rekindled this forbidden fire.

"In that case, I can only entrust my remaining strength to you. With you here, there is nothing more I can do... That's right, the task of bringing him back is entrusted to you, and Yog will keep watch in my place."

"Wait a minute, what exactly is your relationship with Novia?!"

"He's just family. Precisely because he's family, I want him to be happy and joyful. I can't help but wish for him in my dreams, even though I know it's too selfish and biased. I just want to wish for him no matter what."

These words made Fujimaru Ritsuka freeze for a moment.

Putting aside the overly general term "relatives," the subsequent remarks were a bit too... heavy.

"Yes, Fujimaru Ritsuka, thank you."

Ritsuka Fujimaru then gave a very gentle smile.

With those words, her entire body seemed to gently dissipate, as if she had come to recognize Ritsuka as herself.

Novia didn't hear this conversation, so it seems that she deliberately let Novia hear it earlier.

Then, the green flashes on Ritsuka's body spun, turning into a violent concept that was released and returned to Ritsuka's body. The distorted nothingness tore everything apart and caused the collapse of the singularity. The strength and resistance of spacetime were meaningless in the face of this nothingness.

The evil god power that originally suppressed Fujimaru Ritsuka has transformed into a warm protection, allowing her to accept the remaining power as much as possible. This is the technique of summoning Azathoth with divine power. In addition to the power, she also accepts certain memories.

At the same time, the girl was also suffering the consequences of the battle; her body felt like it was falling apart, and the exhaustion was more intense than she had imagined.

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka like this, Novia hesitated to speak.

After all, this is indeed Azathoth, who entrusts power to you just like Sun Wukong. Novia thinks it doesn't matter, since this is the manifestation of Ritsuka's talent in creating a brand new summoning formula. This is what makes him the last Master of humanity.

However, Novia was unaware that she still had some memories, so Ritsuka, after regaining her senses, took a deep breath and stared at Novia.

"Novia."

Then, the girl began to call out to Novia, who was right next to her.

Are you happy being a teacher?

"To say I'm not happy at all would be a lie."

"Yeah, I thought so too. Little Leonardo da Vinci was indeed quite attached to you..."

Upon hearing this, Novia pondered for a moment before slowly nodding: "Yes."

Therefore, Ritsuka spoke again in an extremely sorrowful tone:
