Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Paji——

As Laura watched, her slender and beautiful arms twisted and made such a sound.

Because the arms started to crack from the elbows, the knuckles at the end also drooped unnaturally like wilted flowers.

But like Aleister, the girl ignored her arm.

From the moment it broke, the shattered magic power and shining hair penetrated into the body, merging with the white bones and flesh without any hindrance.

In just a moment, the horrific injury was restored to its original state.

But even so, Aleister's arm, which was about to be broken by the tightening hair, showed no sign of relaxing.

“It’s fine that you’ve manifested yourself as a woman…” Laura, who thought she was finally seeing the light, turned pale. “You’re still clinging to your life even though you know you can’t save yourself. How can someone like you be so petty!”

The girl's tone was very gloomy.

She was not flustered by Aleister's words.

It would be fine if there were unexpected helpers, but it was a one-on-one fight, and no matter how Aleister resisted, it would be useless.

The orange flame that she held in her hand showed no sign of lack of power.

The meteor-like tail flame was like a comet trailing smoke, advancing through Aleister's tough body at a slow but unwavering speed like a spear and a drill.

With the remaining strength, his heart was hit hard again, but Aleister, whose brain was not yet damaged, seemed to insist on maintaining the stalemate.

But in reality, his efforts were meaningless.

The Flame Sword Road symbolizes the twists and turns on the road to the goal. Even the essence of the demon god will stop there. Aleister, who has not yet mastered the art, is naturally unable to resist. Although he tried his best, he could only barely maintain the upper half of his body.

It won’t be long before the existence called Aleister will completely fall.

But this incident did not comfort Laura's heart.

Obviously, nothing went according to plan for Aleister, but he still stubbornly challenged the demon Coronzon, exchanging a million failures for this one miracle.

Just to grab my hand at this moment when she was in danger.

This fact made Laura feel awed.

The magician named Lola is so powerful because she is essentially Coronzon's GM account.

This beautiful female container in the surface world allows Laura to go from being a virtual server administrator to a cheater who surpasses all players.

But as she transformed from an administrator who manipulated data in the background to a game character, she was also restricted by the game system.

The more she tried to gain authority to increase the power of her magic, the more her body became bound by the surface world.

This means that in order to control the recoil and prevent her spirit and body from losing balance, she would be vulnerable and defenseless like an ordinary magician.

More importantly, his own domain has already been unfolded. In this golden wave, Aleister, who was hit by the flaming sword, has absolutely no chance of turning defeat into victory.

Both sides knew this from the very beginning.

In this case, what is the chance that Aleister, who is doomed to fail, is willing to sacrifice his life for?
Victory and failure are both symbols of results. As a great demon in the same abyss as the particle of knowledge, for Laura, nothing is more frightening than the 'unknown'.

"Don't worry, Coronzon. Although I am the one who makes the decision, in my current state, I can only let you serve as a temporary travel companion."

Aleister moved his eyes, staring at the distorted demonic face in Laura's hair, and said calmly.

"Travel companion...what do you mean?"

Laura frowned, calmly covered her face in her hair more tightly, and asked in confusion.

"It means literally,"

Aleister had a relaxed expression on his face, as if he had unloaded his life and the heaviness in his heart along with the approach of death.

"If you were to travel, where would you like to go?"

This inexplicable question stunned Laura.

But before she could react, Aleister, the mastermind, had already taken action.

Three clear voices rang out.

As if emerging from the void, three fingernail-sized rubies rolled to the two people in a stalemate, forming an equilateral triangle with them as the center.

"Three drops of pigeon blood will summon a demon. She is the transcendent being necessary to cross the abyss and gain knowledge beyond."

Aleister chanted the heavy spell in a light voice.

"But my goal is only to cross the abyss, not to meet the pure angel himself. Therefore, I will provide my goal with the body of the trial-taker, the energy to climb the great tree, the door to cross the coordinates, and - the tool to guide me."

"The angel on the tree of life... no, the great demon Coronzon!"

"...?!"

Laura was dumbfounded.

When she is giving it her all, there should be no spell in this world that she can call a threat.

The title of Great Devil is not false.

As the guardian of knowledge, she simply would not succumb to human magic.

Even for Aleister, who had repeatedly jumped on the path of the Demon God, the knowledge he possessed was just like this in her eyes.

This is exactly why Laura believes that she is superior to the demon god - even a powerful demon god like Othinus can be seriously harmed by magic created by humans in his strategy.

But if the target is her, other than the shock wand, which can amplify the Big Bang tenfold and overwhelm the opponent with sheer numbers, other magic will have little effect.

However, the technique that Aleister used at this moment left her powerless to resist.

the reason is simple.

"Aleister!"

Laura screamed at the top of her lungs, with such force that her skin was almost torn, causing blood to ooze out.

"How dare you use my magic against me!"

That's right.

The spell that Aleister was using at this moment was unique to him and also unique to Laura.

In the past, the other party relied on this spell to cross the abyss and summoned the demon Coronzon, establishing a metaphysical spiritual connection with him.

Therefore, after taking the risk of almost having his body taken away, this connection also helped Aleister perfect this mutual spell so that he could challenge the wisdom of the abyss once again.

But even Laura didn't expect that Aleister would use it against her.

Did the other party plan this from the beginning?
Laura's fair face was uncertain, and there was finally a bit of panic in her sky-blue pupils.

This bastard has a curse that will lead him to failure in everything he does. This is a legacy of him rejecting the position of Demon God and retaining his human identity.

Because she was well aware of the power of this curse, Laura always talked about it to mock Aleister, but she never expected that one day she would be tricked.

After all, even the concept of failure, when mixed with absolute, is no longer an easy word to deal with.

Although he couldn't use a failed failure to point to eternal success as Othinus did, it was still within Aleister's ability to just call for a specific miracle.

After realizing Coronzon's existence, Aleister guessed that she possessed a technique called the Path of the Flaming Sword, so he deliberately used his immortality to wear down her patience.

In this way, they wait for this critical moment to catch Laura's backswing, and obtain the two final elements of victory: the tool man who leads the abyss and the energy that allows the abyss to summon in reverse.

"This is not your territory, but I won't let you leave! - Just like you said, my fate is always linked to failure and defeat. In this case, let me take advantage of them as well!"

"This is an exorcism ritual that is doomed to fail, Coronzon. You will return to being an almighty digital being in the abyss!"

As Aleister chanted as if he was vomiting blood, a bright red light shone around him.

The power that transcends deep space begins to operate, overcoming Laura and Aleister.

The soaked rubies mixed with dust flew up, swallowing up the area bound by the golden hair with a vast faint light.

The flaming sword connecting Laura's hand and Aleister's heart also suddenly melted, like flowing lava, spreading rapidly in the rhythmic sound of the atmosphere.

In an instant, their bodies were like melted armor, covered with hideous, cracked, scarlet burn marks. Sparks burned and drifted, but did not go out in the wind, but merged into the light of the ruby, like a universe hung with stars.

In the reverse spell that was doomed to fail, the invisible door burst open.

Suddenly, even the shadows behind the two people could not escape this attraction and were torn into pieces, like a black whirlpool, embellishing the shape of the gate with light and darkness.

Even their shadows are like this, not to mention their bodies.

Starting from the end of the spine, Aleister and Laura's bodies were stretched into long thin strips like dough entering a noodle machine.

Just like the tail behind a scorpion.

"Don't think you can stump me like this!"

Laura said through gritted teeth.

"You once divided the magic system into three eras, Isis, Osiris, and Horus, based on the beginning and end of Christianity. But my existence transcends all eras. Do you really think you can defeat me this way?"

"I am the only demon who has gained a body of flesh and blood. Even Satan and the angels have failed to do so. This body is a cage of my own creation, not a vessel taken from others."

"It is the most compatible with me. Even with such a reverse summoning, the degree of its impact on me is limited! The person who will be pulled into the abyss first will definitely be you. By then, this spell will simply collapse on its own!"

Lola is Lola, not a continuous magical phenomenon, but a strange existence that has reached the final result - a material body, just like the ashes left after a piece of paper is burned.

At the atomic level, they may be the same thing, but conceptually, they should never be confused so easily.

The girl's intense anger caused the surrounding light to surge violently.

But Aleister's response remained the same as always.

"Ok, I know."

"It's good to know, you monkey who can only twist your waist... Hey, you know?"

"Of course. After all, this is a technique that requires my life as a coin machine to activate. Although I didn't know you would have such a trump card, it never hurts to make a plan for the worst outcome in advance."

Aleister sneered.

Even Roland once described his style of doing things as being so cautious that it was a bit disgusting.

Things other than intelligence would be fine, but since Roland hinted at the action and was in his own territory, he had made full preparations from the beginning.

"As a former ally of Academy City, you should be very familiar with the information about this city. Then, you should have heard such rumors."

Aleister smiled pitifully and looked at Laura in front of him.

"It is said that the headquarters of Lanmeng Company is a replica of a building without doors and windows. Moreover, these two buildings are skyscrapers on the surface, but they actually have other uses."

"For example, it could be a spaceship that has not yet been launched, or a cage that cannot be detected by any satellite."

"As the former chairman of Academy City, I can tell you responsibly... they are all true."

As Aleister finished his words, an attack occurred.

A deep sound rang out, like the beating of a huge heart.

The entire building seemed to begin to vibrate. Even if one were to hit a drum taller than a person, the air would not be shaken to this extent.

Even the hair that Laura had wrapped around Aleister’s wrist was scattered by the vibration.

But that was nothing compared to her tangled blonde hair clinging to the edge of the building like vines, wriggling like a living carpet.

boom--

With a shocking loud noise, the huge building that had been standing upright suddenly floated into the air.

There was no time to react.

Float, lift off the ground, fly.

After turning a circle, the whole building turned into a big ship.

The cooling water vapor suddenly collided in all directions like a white wall of cumulus clouds.

The magnetic field machinery carried at the bottom ejected high-energy flames step by step, flying straight to the other side of the twilight.

Completely ignoring issues of airtightness and radiation shielding, it passed straight through the thick atmosphere.

Three thousand degree high temperature and incredibly strong wind poured in from the cracks in the building, but before they could touch the two people who were entangled, they were decomposed from matter into pure energy under the call of the abyss.

Although she usually wouldn't take such gravity seriously, Laura was even more worried about the current situation where she didn't even need to defend herself.

Because this means that she cannot control her own body and can only watch it all.

Simply flying into the universe was nothing to her. With the speed of the reverse spell, she could regain the initiative before flying out of the solar system.

But obviously, there was no way Aleister hadn't even taken this into account.

Sure enough, after flying over the moon like a meteor, the magnetic field machinery on the outer layer of the building began to disintegrate.

This is not because they cannot resist the radiation of the universe, but a sign of exhaustion.

In return, a dark vortex appeared at the tip of the building.

"Is that...black hole power?"

Laura had heard of this tactic that had once forced Orelus into a desperate situation.

But at this moment, what frightened the girl more than the power itself was the meaning behind it.

The closer the speed is to the speed of light, the slower time flows.

In a high-speed journey on a predetermined trajectory, a sudden insertion into a black hole may, in some cases, cause the original reference point to deviate.

——This does not refer to deviation in coordinates, but overlap in the timeline.

Although the probability of such a thing happening under normal circumstances was almost as low as a miracle, the reverse spell that was still running showed that Aleister must have been blessed by a miracle in this matter alone.

Did Aleister want to exile himself to that new world that was suddenly created and attached to the outer layer of the world?

No... If it were just that, using a spacecraft combined with the power of a black hole would be enough to do it. Although it is very difficult to get out of that closed time sequence, there are not many restrictions on just getting in.

Since you have already fallen into the trap, there is no need to let the abyss on the tree of life summon you in reverse.

Although the great tree is thinner than the demons, it is much higher in level than them and even the world. Combined with the offset of the timeline, even the great demon cannot estimate the end of this journey.

What on earth was the other party planning to do by exiling me here?
Laura's body began to tremble in panic.

"Aleister, what do you want to do?"

This was just a fierce question from the big devil to cover up his guilty conscience.

She hadn't expected an answer.

After all, Aleister didn't even want to live anymore, so how could he reveal such information to the enemy?

But to her surprise, Aleister did not hesitate at all on this issue.

"—To return the soul to the Golden Throne."

As Aleister whispered, the surrounding deep space seemed to have received some instructions and indeed changed.

The scarlet light from the abyss slowly faded away.

What was revealed was the boundless temple.

At the highest point of the temple is a huge throne that is completely golden.

The beauty with chocolate-colored skin and wrapped in bandages was half lying on the ground, leaning against the throne like a docile cat, so that the young man sitting on it could touch her gorgeous silver hair more conveniently.

As if noticing their arrival, the master on the throne blinked and waved in a friendly manner.

"..."

Laura was stunned and her expression was stiff.

"You, you... Roland?" (End of this chapter)
