I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Come on, Nero, what kind of story will I weave next?"

As Nero set out on her journey again, a presence sensed her absence.

"Have you left already? Even though... I haven't thanked you in person for defeating the Demon King yet."

"But... never mind."

She raised her hand and looked at the meteor streaking across the sky.

"Thank you for everything you have done for this world, brave warrior who travels through countless worlds."

“May your life in this world be blessed and joyful.”

“May good luck always be with you on your journey.”

The most sincere blessings from God.

It transformed into tiny stars and followed the meteor flying against the sky.

“Blessing——!”

Chapter 359: Deceiving the World, Fooling Fate

Neither time nor space can reach it.

Not belonging to any world.

In this ocean filled with nothingness, there actually exists a building.

Chaldea.

Or it could be called the Human Survival Guarantee Agency, Phoenix Chaldea.

Its purpose is to ensure that human history can continue long and strong. It is a research institute and observatory that brings together researchers from various fields, including magic and science.

This is a secret agency established by various countries to prevent human extinction.

However... in fact, they did complete this mission.

Human nature is burned, human nature is bleached, and there are singularities of all sizes...

They have indeed saved humanity more than once.

After successfully completing their mission, those who remained began to change their target of protection... from all of humanity to a single individual...

…………

The interior of Chaldea.

The main color is very pure and flawless white, and every sight gives off a sense of technology that is ahead of its time.

A little girl who looks very similar to Mona Lisa is sitting on a chair, her little feet dangling in the air and swaying slightly, but her eyes are shining with wisdom that is completely inconsistent with her age.

"I see, I see... Master has already experienced five worlds? You're progressing quite fast. Let me see... A world where gods and demons, heroes and demon lords exist? What is this? It's incredibly interesting! I really want to go and see it!"

"A candidate hero who died of shame after being frightened to death by a tractor, an undead lich king who couldn't even afford to eat and had to survive on sugar water every day, a mentally retarded goddess who was responsible for arranging reincarnations but was forcibly taken to the mortal world by the reincarnated ones... What an interesting world! It seems that the Master is very happy in that world."

Through the records, Leonardo da Vinci also learned about someone's experience in the Suqing world.

"Hmm... I think I can drink black tea while watching this, but... in my current state, maybe I should drink milk instead of black tea?"

At this moment, a second person's voice suddenly sounded in the room where Leonardo da Vinci was supposed to be alone.

"I just came back and saw you acting so young, Da Vinci."

Her voice reminds people of the ice that never melts and the bitter winter on the perpetually frozen earth.

Terrifying indifference, unattainable dignity.

Her snow-white long hair was tied up at the back of her head, and a luxurious long dress in ominous dark colors such as black and blue wrapped around her exquisite figure. She wore a seven-pointed crown on her head, and black tulle covered her face, making her more mysterious and making people want to see her beauty.

Da Vinci turned around and smiled happily when he saw the woman in the black dress.

"Master! When did you come back?"

"Two minutes ago...just think of it that way."

The woman in the black dress's voice remained indifferent. "So, how about this? Do you need a glass of milk?"

"Hmm~? I was just saying that. Of course, if you, Master, are looking forward to pouring a glass of milk for this perfect beauty like me, I can accept it~~!"

Faced with Da Vinci's teasing words, the woman in the black dress just snorted coldly.

"boring."

But the next moment, a teacup filled with milk suddenly appeared on the table in front of Leonardo da Vinci.

"Oh! Thank you, Master."

Da Vinci couldn't wait to pick up the cup and take a sip. The sweetness and temperature were just right.

"Master, is there something that brought you back so suddenly?"

After asking this question, before the other party could speak, Da Vinci immediately spoke again: "Could it be that... you missed us and wanted to come back to see us specially? Oh, how embarrassing~~!"

Leonardo da Vinci licked the milk remaining on his lips with his tongue, his eyebrows slightly curved, and he opened his arms towards the woman in the black dress.

"How about it? Do you want to act coquettishly in the arms of a mature woman? Now is such an opportunity in front of you!"

Because of the veil, the expression of the woman in the black dress could not be seen, but she was silent for a while.

"Da Vinci, you are far from being a 'mature woman' in front of me."

"Ah~~! Master is so mean."

Da Vinci pouted in dissatisfaction, looking very cute.

The woman in the black dress spoke again, and surprisingly, her tone was no longer as cold as before, but carried a hint of satisfaction.

"It's nice to have a joke like this once in a while, it's quite nostalgic... But I'm here for serious business this time."

"The world I'm about to visit will be very special... The status of the Heroic Spirits there is too low to protect me."

Upon hearing this, Da Vinci was stunned for a moment, then he looked enlightened.

"I see... Is this that world?"

"The gods who completely vanished from the face of the earth after the end of the Age of Gods are able to descend so easily in that world and wreak havoc on the earth. There are even humans who can fight against the gods... I really want to ask if there's something wrong..."

Sighing, Da Vinci looked up at the woman in the black dress.

"But, since you're here, Master, I don't need to worry about it... Master, you must have solved all the problems, right?"

The woman in the black dress did not answer directly, but took out a spiritual foundation.

"It has been adjusted. If it is this spiritual base, it is enough to ensure my safety."

"this is……"

Da Vinci stared at the spirit base in the black-dressed woman's hand with wide eyes, and his expression gradually became strange.

"Oh? It's actually adjusted based on her spiritual foundation?"

"Yes, although it's frustrating to have to use that idealistic little girl's spiritual base... However, I have to admit that her spiritual base is indeed the most compatible with that world, and it also makes it easier for me to exploit loopholes in the rules."

The woman in the black dress's tone turned angry. "She's a genius at finding fault, as if she was born specifically to belittle me, but... for my sake, I'll be magnanimous this time and not argue with her."

“The journey is still long. I still have a long way to go before I reach my destination. I can’t die like this.”

Da Vinci continued to look at the spirit base in front of him, his eyes showing curiosity and shock.

"Unbelievable... Master, are your magical skills becoming increasingly terrifying? You're trying to deceive the world."

In response to this, the woman in the black dress just spoke with disapproval.

"The essence of magic is actually deception. This is why that white-haired nightmare, who is good for nothing but deception, is called the magician's magician."

"It's nothing, just deceiving the world and fooling fate. Compared to saving those hopeless fairies and suppressing the self-destructive British Isles, it's much easier."

Chapter 360: Britain's Red Dragon

UK, Greenwich.

In one building, all kinds of people gathered.

Magicians, mystics, goblin doctors, priests, pastors, royal family members...

There are men and women, old and young.

The only thing these people have in common is that they are all involved in mystery and have a certain degree of research on it.

Council of Wise Men.

That's the name of the organization.

They are responsible for collecting information about the mysterious side and protecting the queen's safety.

This organization is different from the so-called magic society. When it was first established, the Council of Sages was just a group of members exchanging knowledge of mysticism with each other. In terms of nature, it was more like a mutual aid society.

And now, this group of members of the Council of Sages, who were closer to scholars than magicians, were gathered together, and all of them had frowns on their faces.

A heavy atmosphere permeated the space.

The current situation was caused by the news they received not long ago.

"Britain... is this the end?"

A gray-haired member of the parliament suddenly lamented.

"A divine beast and a disobedient god... unexpectedly appeared at the same time, and that beast was the British 'Red Dragon'..."

The god who disobeys is a disaster walking on the earth.

Legend has it that in the distant past, gods had no names.

Humans, fearing their power, created myths to restrain the gods, which is why we have peace and tranquility today.

The god who disobeyed violated the duties given by the myth and came to the earth by his own will.

They go against the myths woven by humans, wandering the earth and bringing disaster to the world.

If the sun god descends, the power of the sun will be infinitely magnified and burn the earth.

If the God of the Sea descends, he will bring about a huge tsunami that can swallow the earth.

If the god of the underworld comes, plague and death will spread to every corner of the world, turning the world into a city of the dead.

The arrival of the disobedient god will bring disaster to the earth, but compared to this, these people pay more attention to the divine beast that descends with it.

In this world, dragons and snakes are the embodiment of the earth veins.

Not to mention, the red dragon has extraordinary significance in this land.

The red dragon was originally a symbol believed by the Celts. Later, it was combined with the legend of the hero King Arthur and acquired a more complex meaning.

In Welsh legend, the red dragon and the white dragon are hostile to each other. The red dragon symbolizes the land under our feet and the people living on it, while the white dragon corresponds to the Saxons who are the invaders.

In the Arthurian legend, there is King Arthur who is the incarnation of the red dragon and Vortigern who is the incarnation of the white dragon.

The red dragon eventually drove away the white dragon, which meant that the Welsh would defeat the Saxons and successfully protect their homeland.

Although Britain has experienced many colonial invasions in history, the race has changed several times, and sometimes even the kings came from foreign countries, the legend of the red dragon has nothing to do with the British today.

But they have inherited the myths and legends of this land very well. The red dragon is the symbol of the motherland, while the white dragon represents the hostile countries and nations.

So logically speaking, the red dragon should be the guardian of Britain, but like the god of disobedience, the red dragon also deviated from people's mythology and became a mad dragon that only knew how to destroy.

Once the red dragon, the embodiment of the earth veins, is destroyed, the land will completely "die".

Vegetation dried up, the earth cracked, and magma erupted.

After the earth veins are exhausted, this land will become a forbidden zone for life.

Originally, dragons and snakes, as the incarnation of the earth veins, should not be killed. Even if they are defeated, they will only return to the earth veins again.

However, based on the information they received, the Council of Sages believed that the God of Disobedience who appeared immediately after the Red Dragon was most likely the God of Steel.

[Steel] and dragons and snakes are natural enemies, and only the God of [Steel] can completely kill dragons and snakes.

That's why everyone present was so troubled.

"We must not allow the Red Dragon to be killed by Steel, or this country will be completely destroyed!"

A younger member slammed the table and stood up, his resolute expression causing everyone to look sideways.
