Evil God... Remnants of the first age rule the world.
In an era when the principle of "good and evil dualism" rules the world, the universe is constantly at war.
The Seven Evil Gods are representatives of the "evil" side.
Under them, there are many generals.
These monsters continued to commit crimes for no reason, because evil was the cosmic order of the time.
The reign of the world's first epoch did not end until the man named Magthalion, representing the righteous side, became the dominating god and usurped the godly throne.
The world has entered the second age of gods, ruled by the principle of "falling into the sky".
Magthalion's process of becoming a god was not all smooth sailing.
He killed all life in the universe, deprived the Lord of the divine throne of the first epoch of the extra soul upgrade, and finally won the competition of the divine throne, and became the ruler of the 2nd epoch.
In this process, the Seven Evil Gods naturally became his archenemy.
The battle with the Evil God made him suffer a lot.
Because among the seven Evil Gods, there are two special ones, both of them have reached the point where they are close to the Mercury King, so the battle with them is naturally close to death.
These two Evil Gods were the Extinct Star Cluster and the Migrating Locust.
Among them, the Extinct Star Cluster regards beauty, immortality, and devotion as absolute truths. Sublimated himself into the incomplete Mercury King.
Although incomplete, its strength should not be underestimated.
"Hegemony, the flow is equivalent to a kind of big bang, and the law covers the universe to create a new world."
At the new team's headquarters, Kurumi who was brought over, said to everyone:
"Although the world is limited to one universe in the first epoch, the strength is far from being comparable to the lord of the god throne, but there is no problem in wiping out the universe with a snap of fingers."
"Wait, Tokisaki-san, you said that your world was originally just one universe, not a multi-dimensional structure?"
Inaho noticed the key point in Kurumi's words.
"Yes,"
Kurumi nodded and explained.
"In the beginning, the world was unique, because the lord of the god throne in the third age started time travel, and the world had an extra universe. In this extra universe, the ruler of the fourth age god throne, King Mercury was born. King Mercury's will transcends death and time, so in the third age after he eliminated it with one move, and laws covered the world, our world gave birth to endless multiverses. The scope of the throne domination has also increased from a single universe to a multidimensional level. Since then, the lord of the god throne has at least a multidimensional body. "
She shook her head slightly and continued.
"This is off topic, let's talk about it another time, let's continue with the previous topic. Before the end of the first age, the Extinct Star Cluster reached the incomplete "Outflow" and became the ruler of the god throne. Fortunately, he and the other four Evil Gods were exterminated by the other Ryota with the help of the Dusk Goddess. The enemies we need to pay the most attention to right now are the Bloody Garden, and the Migrating Locusts. Before the end of the first epoch, they had progressed to the point where they could easily destroy the solar system."
"Moreover, as the Evil God, the Migratory Locust holds an order called 'group life'. As long as the conditions are met, it can be divided into avatars. Each avatar is his true self, with powers, growth, thoughts, etc. On the other hand, there is no difference, theoretically, this separation is infinite. As long as the Evil God's fighting spirit continues to burn, there will be no end, destroying the universe."
"Is it true?" Ishtar was stunned: "Isn't this ability too overpowered?"
She originally had complete faith in winning over the Evil God.
Especially the "Bloody Garden" was destroyed by them not long after they played, and all the generals were also destroyed. Now the only enemy left is the Migrating Locust. This amazing result made her feel a little arrogant.
If not for the delay in bringing down the Bloody Garden, they would not have called Kurumi for support and asked if the Evil God had any weaknesses.
In the end, Kurumi had told them that the Evil God had no weaknesses.
Not only does it have no weaknesses, but it is also very strong!
Even the growth rate is very high.
If it continued like this, if time dragged on too long, even if the Migrating Locust was unable to grow to a level like the Extinct Star Cluster. it wasn't something they could handle.
Thinking of this, Ishtar couldn't help but feel guilty.
At the same time, she was praying for the ability called "Group Life", please don't activate it!
Once activated, they may have to finish the game directly.
Not only did she think so, but everyone present also frowned. The joy brought by the small victory not too long ago disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the projected battle scene in the void, worry filled everyone's heart.
"I don't know about Shiro-chan."
Hayasaka couldn't help muttering something.
It's about the safety of her world, and her family and friends are still on earth, no one is more worried about this matter than her.
Despite being at a critical moment of life and death, she was able to escape to another world through a teammate's base.
But this function can only be enjoyed by team members, and she can't do the behavior of leaving everyone and running away.
"Shiro is still on the adventure." Inaho replied: "Since yesterday, several new members have been added to our chatroom, and only Shiro can invite others, so I'm speculating that he must have made new friends during his adventures. From this, it can be judged that he has absorbed Counter Force, and now he has to take risks to maximize his own time to complete the Seventh Bridge and stabilize the Seventh Bridge."
"That is to say, we can only wait now…"
Misaki muttered under her breath, her eyes full of worry.
From yesterday to now, more than 30 hours have passed, and every time the adventurers teleport back, the time that has passed will not exceed one hour. She didn't know how many adventures Ryota had?
He had to work hard again.
Misaki frowned, but there was nothing she could do.
At the same time.
The battle between the Migrating Locusts and the super civilizations has reached its climax.
Schwhi found that her party had shown some weakness.
Initially, with endless technical devices coming from Disboard, the battle between the two sides maintained a delicate balance.
Schwi took the opportunity to continue to expand the scale of the portal, so that Disboard's output continued to increase, gradually gaining some advantages.
But this small advantage was gradually being taken over by the Evil God.
The Evil God can continuously get stronger in battle. As an enemy, it was an existence that made people feel hopeless.
That crazy fighting posture made everyone watching the battle from afar feel trembling.
At a certain moment, everyone suddenly constricted their pupils, showing astonishment.
Schwi also widened her eyes in a human way, and said in surprise.
"Group Life appeared."
On the holographic screen projected by the void, an existence that looked exactly like the Migrating Locust suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The delicate balance of the battle was broken in an instant.
Everyone saw that the combat units that had surrounded and suppressed the Evil God were rapidly shrinking. However, as the desire in everyone's heart increased, another identical figure appeared.
"Oh no...!"
Calm Inaho, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
What are the triggering conditions of the "aggregates"… This question is not important now.
"Schwi, can the expansion of the portal be sped up?"
Inaho asked very quickly.
"No, that's already the fastest speed under balance." Schwi replied: "If it is faster, it will affect the delivery of weapons, which is meaningless."
"So how much time is left?"
"Based on the Migrating Locust's destruction speed, it's only 3 hours and 24 minutes..."
Before she could finish speaking, Schwi suddenly froze in place.
On the projection of the battlefield, another figure appeared.
She suddenly realized that calculating time was meaningless.
Because there was no telling how many clones the Migrating Locust would devour.
Beside Schwi, Kurumi closed her eyes, shook her head and said.
"Once the 'group life phase' is triggered, the sharing will continue. In the first epoch, before the Migrating Locust was exterminated by Magthalion, more than a million clones had split."
She really didn't want to jump to conclusions.
"We couldn't stop it."
Gritting her teeth, a difficult decision appeared in Kurumi's mind.
Her domain can trigger the power of [Return of Eternal Tribulation], turning the world upside down and starting over.
If it really came down to the last resort...
Just as Kurumi was clenching her teeth, she suddenly felt a hand covering the top of her head, rubbing it gently, and the movement was gentle, which made her feel comfortable immediately.
Is it possible...
Kurumi looked back and found that it was indeed Ryota, standing behind her at some point.
"You forgot the deal with me?" Ryota shook his head: "Don't act recklessly, it's not too desperate yet."
"You finally came back."
Kurumi's shoulders relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, she did not hide her fragility.
"Shiro-chan?"
"Shiro-chan!"
"You're finally back!"
A voice named Ryota was heard.
Everyone seemed to have found some backbone, and their anxious mood relaxed a bit, although they didn't know if Ryota would be able to overcome the current crisis.
Ryota looked at his teammates with nostalgic emotions in his eyes.
It was a reunion display after a long absence, which made everyone watching feel a little strange.
Ryota didn't care, and just said: "Guys, I'm back."
"Shiro, how did you get in?" Schwi wondered, "Schwi has prepared a lot of defenses."
"Ex-Machina really cares about logic first," Ryota said with a smile: "Schwi, it seems that the 'heart' you obtained still needs improvement, let me teach you, I don't care about this kind of matter now when."
"The seventh bridge is completed?" Misaki poked Ryota and asked.
Hayasaka also looks hopeful.
"Complete."
Ryota nodded, then looked at the holographic projection in the void for a few seconds, and continued.
"However, the Seventh Bridge cannot handle such a big scene. Evil God… tsk tsk, that really is exaggerating."
The surreal scene where the galactic space was punched and crushed in the projection made the corners of his eyes twitch slightly.
This kind of monster is not within the scope of the second stage commander.
After all, the Seventh Bridge didn't push it exponentially.
Now he could instantly destroy planets with simple suppression, but facing an Evil God was still a bit unsatisfactory.
"Facing an enemy like this, it's really lucky you survived for so long..."
Ryota sighed for no reason.
"Now is not the time to make sarcastic comments!" Ishtar couldn't help but scream: "If the Seventh Bridge can't deal with it, what should we do!? Well, this monster clone has improved again, they can't stop!"
"Relax, don't worry, it's not time to give up yet."
Ryota comforted everyone, then looked at Ishtar again, and said:
"Especially you, Ishtar, why are you always making such a fuss? It's about time you learned to read the mood, did I show anxiety from start to finish?"
"...You mean, you have a way to win?" Ishtar blinked.
"Of course there is."
Ryota didn't immediately say what to do, but took a deep breath.
Everyone's eyes were on him, waiting for his answer.
Perhaps it was infected by the strong confidence he was expressing at this moment, no one saw the ever-increasing Migrating Locust clone in the holographic projection anymore.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Ryota's overwhelming sense of presence, and they could no longer be attracted by anything else.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ryota's mouth, and under everyone's gaze, he said:
"I have completed all the advanced preparations, and all the elevation of the state of mind… Master Warror is coming."
Memories come to mind.
33 hours.
42 adventures.
Apart from the survival adventure with a limited time limit for the main quest, in the unlimited time adventure, he delays every moment until he has to complete the main quest before taking action.
Taking risks in this mode, there is naturally no chance of scoring points.
But the results are satisfying.
Only 33 hours had passed in this world, but he had won 7 years for himself!
The dangerous experience had sharpened his soul so sharp, like a blade ready to be drawn.
Seven years of mental precipitation had allowed him to complete all the passage of the second stage of the Military Commander System.
At the moment...
"You will witness my improvement process."
Ryota looked up and said this sentence.
After the words fell, he raised his right hand and thrust it into his heart.
No blood was spilled or splashed.
What he touched was not his own heart, but from this symbolic position, he went deep into his heart and held the handle of the original Ming Hong Sword. Then pull it out in one motion and hold it high.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
They realized that this was not self-harm after they discovered that Ryota had not changed his condition and his aura had not weakened.
There are no changes only outwardly.
Ryota ushers in his own sublimation on a soul and heart level unseen by others.
After losing the maintenance of the Ming Hong Sword, the Seven Bridges that connect the heart and soul have not disappeared.
Because he was so ready.
The seven bridges radiated the brilliance of seven colors, collapsing towards the middle, and the impact of a huge explosion was born, pulling the hearts and souls closer to each other.
Ryota begins to break away from the physical laws of flesh, bones, internal organs, etc. It all means absolutely nothing.
He jumped towards a higher existence.
The intensity of his presence swelled immeasurably.
A moment ago.
The two different dimensions of soul and mind completely merge.
At the moment of successful dissolution, infinite thoughts are present in the soul.
Ryota truly has unlimited soul power and output.
At the same time, the emotional Seven Bridges stopped collapsing and all but disappeared.
Instead, it was a round black fruit that merged with seven colors, hung in his soul, and radiated the divine majesty of the seven "reasons" toward the heavens, the universe, and the world.
It is divinity.
In other words, the divine model.
The pinnacle of emotion and desire—that is, Divinity, that is, "reason."
And the seven emotions are used to form the model of all emotions, and the divine model that is formed after they all flow out has the power to shape the "reason" that one desires.
This is the ultimate pursuit of the Military Commander System to create the strongest god.
Ryota put down the Ming Hong Sword he held high.
He had reached the Master Warror stage. However, he didn't directly use divinity to create the "reason" he wanted. Because it takes time and requires a special emotional perception.
There is no need to rush into this matter. With his current strength, it is enough to face the difficulties in front of him.
"Shiro-chan...?"
Hayasaka's voice sounded:
"You did it?"
The others also looked at Ryota with concern.
Ryota didn't answer right away, but saw a projection in the void.
Everyone followed his gaze, then fell silent, some even swallowed involuntarily.
Within the projection, the Evil God's figure was packed densely, and its scale was no longer what it was before.
Not even an army was enough to describe the current number of Migrating Locust clones.
"Breakthrough… no, annihilated." muttered Schwi.
The counterattack power Ryota created had long since disappeared, but he was not surprised.
The indescribable scale of the enemy before him told him that destruction was commonplace.
The void projection shattered.
Space became chaotic.
The Evil God who annihilated the counterattack army finally crossed a great distance and descended into the solar system.
Everyone heard the sounds of roars and laughter mixed together, ignoring the laws of physics, and passing through it with billions of storms.
The sky split.
The Evil Gods created by a group of beings shook the entire galaxy with their auras, and countless stars poured down with tails of light, forming torrents of destruction. Nothing is more suggestive of a breakdown than this.
From that wave of destruction, Ryota felt it.
Feeling the will of the Migrating Locust Evil God to embark on an eternal struggle and pursuit of endless scenery.
Presumably this is the dream of the Migratory Locust.
Pure evil with innocent beauty. Unfortunately, after all, it was a remnant from an old era.
In the new era, there is no place for dregs.
"If you want to fight, do as you please." Ryota muttered.
Then the world fell silent.
Evil God enough to shake the momentum of the milky way system, billions of storms, torrents of destruction. Everything stopped.
The universe is like a painting.
The seven sublimated "reasons" of the seven emotions subvert the laws of the world and replace them.
Ryota started an instinctive reaction from a dominating god.
The world was taken and became his body, then everything started working again.
In the newly rotated world, the Evil Gods were exterminated like insects.
Ryota didn't even attack, and with just killing intent, he erased the Migrating Locust from all records of the past, present, and future.
When everything died down.
Everyone opened their eyes again, and found that they had returned to earth at some point.
Hayasaka looked around, and what she saw was a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar environment.
She immediately reacted.
"This is our real base! Uh... what's wrong? Shiro-chan?"
"This is it," answered Ryota.
Hayasaka looked at him.
The other members also averted their eyes.
Ryota was sitting on the other side of the bar and smiling at everyone.
"I still really like the current era. Let's forget about civilization evolution first, so..."
He pointed at the sky and continued.
"Let's forget about the base superfluous."
"Where is the Evil God?" Hayasaka asked quickly.
"Remains of the bygone era, of course, will end up with the bygone era."
Ryota got up from his seat, walked towards the crowd, and announced:
"From now on, it is our time."
"Why does it feel like you are a bit chuunibyou?" Hayasaka complained.
"The atmosphere is here," Ryota shrugged, "Don't mind these trivial details, just get my point."
"I also feel you are becoming a bit chuunibyou."
Misaki was pondering: "Did you experience anything during your adventure?"
"Actually, the answer is very simple."
At this time, Kurumi suddenly stood up and spoke.
Everyone's attention was attracted, she greeted everyone's gaze and said:
"Master Warriors and gods are considered the same."
Hearing this, everyone glanced at Ryota rather subtly.
Kurumi was probably in a good mood so she took the opportunity to make a joke about Ryota.
"Lord of Warror, Lord of the Demon Sword, how about calling you a Demon Lord?"
"Don't mislead my teammates…Okay? Let's stop this joke."
Ryota brought back the topic of deviance.
"Everyone has worked hard to stop the Evil God this time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we..."
After a pause, he announced with a smile: "Let's have a party!"
