"<Future World Crystal> Kandaquisort is the many futures of this world, and is equal in form to the world. You are now trying to compare what will perish first: the world or yourself. The result is quite obvious."
"Sure, that's reasonable."
The crystal tip fell apart.
"My blood corrodes the world itself."
Kandaquisort turned into pitch black rust, shattered into tiny pieces, and dissipated.
The Demon King's blood can only be used against extremely powerful attacks.
If they are not strong enough to contain its destructiveness, it would inflict irreparable damage on this world.
"As you might expect from a goddess who commands the future, you're quite strong. But it's about time you started fighting to the fullest. If you don't start looking into the future with the utmost seriousness, you could perish here."
I walked toward Nafta without stopping.
In the meantime, the rusted and dissipated Kandaquisort turned into countless brightly shining crystal shards.
"Nafta swears. As long as there is a present, the future will rise again and again even if it is destroyed. The only way to destroy the Future World Crystal is to destroy all possibilities."
The number of crystal shards increased rapidly, enveloping the place like a shining sandstorm.
"This could be another form of the world. Condemned, you are sentenced to a limiting world."
As the crystal sandstorm dissipated, the landscape around us changed.
We were in a strange city. All the buildings, vegetation, and inhabitants were made of crystal.
The mountains visible in the distance, the heavenly canopy, and even the flowing rivers were crystal.
And from all this I felt unimaginable magical power.
"A world created by Kandaquisort, then?"
The divine domain of the goddess of the future.
"Nafta swears. This world limits everything to lead to the worst consequences for you. In this world, your victory is unattainable."
"Interesting. If you don't prepare the world, it won't reach me."
I looked at her nonchalantly and said.
"Well, future, try to challenge me."
As soon as I said that, the surface of the earth shattered into pieces.
The moment I flew into the sky with <Fless>, countless crystal spears flew out of the colossal hole in the ground.
I tried to cover the hole with <Beno Yeven>, but the crystal spears easily passed through it and stabbed into me.
In the next instant, the crystal spears suddenly appeared from the buildings around me.
They also appeared from the heavenly canopy above my head, and they all rushed at me at once from all sides.
As the spears plunged one by one into my body, the clock tower in front of me soared into the sky, as if it had lifted itself off the ground, hurtling toward me with its pointed roof.
Countless crystal spears immobilized me, and this clock tower spear plunged into me with crushing power.
Streams of blood poured from my entire body.
"I haven't bled so much in a long time."
The demon king's black blood made the clock tower, the crystal spears, and all the crystal in the surrounding area rust and fall apart.
All that was left was black rust.
"You said that everything would lead to the worst consequences for me. That you would bring down on me the worst day of my life."
I put my hand out and drew a multi-layered magic circle.
The layers were overlapping each other in the shape of a gun turret and I pointed it at Nafta.
"I didn't expect your power to be so terrifying. But since you're strong, I can use that one magic I have."
Black particles poured out of the magic circle in the shape of a turret.
"A universal miracle will come upon you. I sentence you to despair."
Again countless crystal spears flew at me. But they shattered as soon as they touched the black particles gathered around.
Every possible thing came crashing down on me: fire, water, lightning, earth, trees, and the heavenly canopy.
It was like a miracle.
But I wouldn't let anything in this world that was aggressive toward me get close to me.
"With this Origin Magic, I borrowed magic power from the Demon King of Tyranny Anos Voldigoad of two thousand years past, the goddess of creation Militia, and the goddess of destruction Aberneyu."
And to top it all off, I added the magic power of my present self to the magic.
"It's a forbidden spell that can't be used in a normal place. Even I've only used it twice."
The jet-black particles swirled and coiled around the gun turret-shaped magic circle like a living creature.
From their mere influence, the crystals around it rapidly shattered into pieces and crumbled into tiny particles.
Nafta's divine domain began to crack and crumble.
"So open your divine eyes and restrain it properly. As soon as I release this spell, even in the worst case, the world of Kandaquisort will be destroyed."
I said to the goddess of the future, who looked at me stunned and without words.
"If you can't limit it, the real world will turn to ash along with it."
The black particles form a seven-layer spiral around the gun turret.
A bottomless crack formed in the surface of the earth.
It literally split the limiting world in half.
"<Egil Grone Angdroa>."
Apocalyptic flames erupted from the gun turret-shaped magic circle.
The seven-layered spiral of jet-black flames rumbled and rushed forward.
The apocalyptic flames of the world passed through Nafta. It must have been the blessing of Kandaquisort.
It reached beyond the horizon, and then everything in the world went up in flames.
The heavenly canopy, the horizon, the earth and mountains, all things burned and turned to black ash.
The reason why this magic, superior to <Jio Graze>, wasn't positioned as the highest level of fire attribute magic, was because there were no other users except me, and that it only had the form of a flame, but was actually a completely different thing.
It burns what should not be burned, destroys what should not be destroyed, and reduces the entire universe to ashes.
This spell was truly magic of destruction. The very type of magic I was best at.
In the face of apocalyptic flames, the entire limiting world was reduced to jet-black ash.
The ashes were blown away by the wind, and we were once again in front of the great holy gates, as if reality were hiding behind the ashes.
"Hmm. Taking it seriously after all?"
Nafta, holding the Future World Crystal in her hands, opened her eyes.
As the goddess controlling the order of the future, she could not allow the world to be deprived of all possibilities.
She must have looked hard into the future in order to limit Extreme Hell Destruction Ash Demon Mortar <Egil Grone Angdroa>.
"In other words, the outcome of the contest is certain."
Nafta nodded silently.
A crack appeared on her body.
"...Nafta swears to be defeated. No matter how much I limit the future, zero will never become one. There is no single future in which you are defeated."
The body of the goddess of the future was covered in countless cracks, and she began to fall apart.
No matter how she tried to limit the future, in her battle with me, there was only one thing waiting for her in the future: perdition.
The end of the future brought the end of Nafta herself.
The gods cannot go against order.
Nafta did not dare to open her eyes because she did not want to know that it would end this way.
"That's why I foretold you in the beginning."
After looking at Nafta with magic eyes tinted in destructive purple, I slowly walked toward her.
I covered her eyes with my hand to cut off the future.
Her body stopped falling apart.
"No matter how many hundreds of millions of miracles you try to unleash on me at once, you will never reach my worst." | „ | |
