Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"Roland?"

Laura was shocked and angry, and the confident expression on her face had completely disappeared.

Even those cunning blue pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip in panic.

Although Laura, who has a physical body, usually seems to have extremely rich emotions, in fact, demons do not have emotions similar to humans in the pure sense.

But maybe, as Aleister said, she had maintained the human disguise for too long.

At this moment, the girl could feel that the redundant emotions caused by her sadistic and conceited character had completely occupied her mind.

The reason why Laura behaved like this was because her own logic conflicted with everything in front of her.

It's just like the artificial intelligence in movies and TV shows that is confused because of the contradiction in the underlying protocol that it cannot harm humans but must save humans.

Yes, although the essence of the Tree of Life makes Coronzon much more real than programs formed by phase energy like Gabriel, her nature is just similar to that of an artificial intelligence that has gained free will.

Coronzon is a great demon with a stat value of 333. Her mission is to make everything decompose naturally and return to the cycle.

But the purpose of this behavior is not to destroy for the sake of destruction, but an act of self-rescue of the universe.

Just as the emergence of human evil is also to allow mankind to break through the tragic future and show new possibilities.

And now, this nothingness that requires breaking through the timeline should be the scene under the dark maze that even the devil cannot break through - the barrier belonging to the outer layer of the world.

But beneath this bedrock, only information remained. It was an illusion where neither energy nor matter existed, but there appeared things like a golden throne and a vast palace, reflecting the universe.

Even the reality of the infinitely extending wilderness is something that needs to be looked up to.

That's why Laura panicked like a normal human being.

Because these are new possibilities.

——The possibility that the world can evolve and shed its skin.

For the sake of the world's development, the Dragon God will choose to wait and see, and give up the heaven-fallen item like the Key of All Souls. The Magical Index world will also keep in mind the matter of breaking through the world's barriers.

Due to different development trends and the fact that his power was too chaotic and huge, he did not give birth to an incarnation such as the Dragon God, but instead used the complex nature of fate to influence everything.

High-dimensional life forms like Aiwass and Coronzon who transcend phases and possess independent will, and even Kamijou Touma's essence of being a god-purifying demon-slayer, are all manifestations of this change.

Aiwass exists to lead qualified humans to a happy and perfect future, while Coronzon is both a threat and a help.

Although she is a great demon who will destroy the world, her identity as the guide of the abyss of knowledge has given her many invisible restrictions.

If used properly, the contractor can not only resolve the crisis, but also climb to a higher level after crossing the abyss.

And if it fails, anyway, by the time we get to the era where we can summon Coronzon, it’s about time that a new demon god will appear.

Rather than continuing to let this prodigal son mess around, it would be better to let this era of stagnation come to an end and look for other possibilities in a new cycle.

Her mission is to make the universe evolve and let the world be reborn after the cycle of destruction. But if this possibility has already appeared, but everything in the old world still exists, should she continue or stop?
The world without will did not give an answer, but Laura did not collapse due to logical confusion. Instead, her attitude became more and more like human emotions, which foreshadowed the occurrence of some changes.

"It's obviously a long-awaited reunion, and I even indulged you in taking revenge, but you don't look very happy, Coronzon."

Roland chuckled and tapped the side of the chair with his fingertips.

In an instant, Laura and Aleister, who were in the royal palace, appeared in front of him.

"How dare you say that, Senior!"

The girl's delicate doll-like face was distorted.

Even the word "indulgence" was mentioned. If she still doesn't know that she is being used, she is unworthy of being called a big devil.

Compared to losing in a contest of strength, this suppression of intelligence was even more unacceptable to her.

She does like to watch the comedy caused by the chain reaction of her own destruction, but she absolutely does not want to be used as a knife by others.

"Being a swordsman? You are overestimating your own value."

Roland sneered.

Although it cannot be called waste utilization, at most it is just making the best use of things without wasting them - he said this seriously.

"Honestly, it's really difficult to pretend that you didn't notice anything when you know you're going to cause trouble."

"We can't relax our regular surveillance on you, and we have to make sure that the major events at critical moments don't affect you. We can't even tell people close to us. This is the only way to hide your premonition and achieve the effect of luring you into a trap. It's really troublesome."

Speaking of this, Roland felt a little emotional and shrugged helplessly.

"But even though Coronzon is a great demon that is incompatible with my world, it is a waste to treat such a precious property as garbage."

"In order to get you back as a 'ticket', I can only wait for your performance."

"Tickets?"

Laura screamed.

"That's impossible. You have become the devil of the Cross. You have already crossed the abyss. How could you still need a guide?"

"Why do you say that? Just because the demon gods in the past didn't do this either?"

Laura was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

This was indeed what she had in mind.

As a life form that also had its origins from the Tree of Life, she simply could not understand why Roland descended from heaven as a human being, did not rely on the power of the Tree of Life, but took another path and climbed back into the abyss with his own rationality.

This world has become filthy and dirty. The group of indestructible demons have completely blocked the outside. Even if we rely on the confidence brought by our essence to walk on the right path, the future is still bleak.

After all, in Laura's view, the gap between heaven and man should not be crossed, and everyone should abide by the class arranged by the Tree of Life.

Human beings have now degenerated into hopeless lower creatures. Taking this as a starting point, even if we continue to win, the result will be neither loss nor gain.

This mentality is like an employee with a stable job seeing his colleagues quit their jobs to start their own businesses.

She was born with an aversion to this kind of risk. Even when she saw Roland successfully making a lot of money, she would still convince herself that the two were not in the same world and their pursuits were completely different.

Roland's plan to use her as a ticket to conquer the abyss again is equivalent to the other party successfully coming back to work after achieving success in his career and single-handedly promoting the public-private partnership of the entire enterprise.

This is completely beyond the great devil's understanding.

"It seems that you were a little too distracted by the dilemma of the other demon gods, and therefore overlooked the basic fact."

Roland spread his hands.

Although the warm smile on his face did not fade at all, the contemptuous look in his eyes had already exposed all his inner emotions.

"Some people are demon gods because they risked their lives to reach the bottom line of demon gods, while some people are demon gods because their realm can only be described as demon gods."

"Obviously, I will be the latter."

Strands of dark liquid oozed out from the swaying stars, revealing the turbid malice that was not fictional to Laura.

The perfect demon god is not a future that can be expected through a single path.

Will you be satisfied if you cross the abyss?
Don't be ridiculous. If that were the case, the magicians in Type-Moon who could touch the source shouldn't have any worries or difficulties.

Roland would not stop moving forward until he had moved the abyss in and out and completely transformed it into his own shape.

And for this purpose, he regarded the great devil who had the mission of both beast and guide as a sure thing after it appeared in the world.

Roland looked down at Laura below, and touched Nephthys's face with a smile, as if this was her future appearance.

He looked exactly like the bully who harassed young girls on the street.

"Did you plan this all?"

Laura, whose face was growing paler, could no longer maintain that equal attitude.

"It's really ironic that I've survived until now because of the identity of the guide that I ignored..." The mysteries have been lifted.

Roland's purpose was already clear. There was no doubt that this was a complete victory for the opponent.

But what the girl hated more than the failure of being eaten alive was the fact that Roland had never taken her seriously.

It was as if she was just a rose in a pot.

No matter how twisted the direction she grows, no matter what poisonous thorns she grows.

As a person outside the flowerpot, Roland has enough ability and patience to remove all obstacles little by little, so that she can bloom in a gorgeous state.

It's a pity that she always treated the other party as her equal, and even as an opponent who she needed to go all out to defeat.

Otherwise, after successfully scheming against Aleister, Laura would not have made the declaration of a challenger so complacently.

She was truly enjoying the pleasure of competing with Roland in this unregulated duel.

Unexpectedly, the other party always treated me as a clown dancing alone.

At this moment, the girl's hatred for Roland surpassed that for Mathers, who had bound her with a contract, and for Aleister, who had delayed her plan for nearly a hundred years.

"Don't even think about getting what you want, Roland! Even if I have to use myself as firewood, I will stop you from doing that!"

"My essence is decomposition, and after my destruction, I will still be reborn in paradise!"

Lola roared.

New cracks appeared on her burn-scarred body, and the same happened to Aleister as well.

Although they could not interfere with the nearby Temple of Infinite Time in the slightest, their bodies still shook violently.

Although he is a demon that symbolizes diffusion and decomposition, Coronzon cannot kill his medium.

In order to perish together with the enemy, she always attaches great importance to the existence of helpers in the connection of the contract.

Because of this, Aleister was able to force her to travel with him even when he was counter-summoned.

On the other hand, Coronzon could also use this connection to destroy himself and Aleister together.

As a demon at the highest level whose life level could even be laughed at by the demon gods, he actually gave up the victory directly and even had to go to great lengths to self-destruct to free himself.

For Laura, who was so arrogant before, this was undoubtedly very embarrassing and humiliating.

But Laura would rather embarrass herself than let Roland get any benefit.

Moreover, compared to losing face, being transformed into a slave by Roland was obviously more unacceptable.

As Laura's determination spread, Aleister's expression changed slightly.

"She's already so angry that I can't hold on any longer."

"Do not worry."

Staring at Laura's crazy eyes, Roland snapped his fingers calmly.

"Because there are too many people in this world who will overturn the table if they can't defeat them. I have enough experience. Although you are too cautious, your plan is not wrong."

"Coronzon, you won't forget what I said when we first met, right?"

the first time?
Didn't we just discuss the deal in Britain? No, if we only talk about this encounter, the first time should be when the Magical Index was stolen...

At that time, she had a brief confrontation with Roland in order to confirm the other party's strength and authenticity.

As her thoughts accelerated, as she remembered the index, scenes from the past gradually emerged clearly in Laura's mind.

By the way, when he was leaving, he seemed to have said
"You're next, Laura - you don't think that my evil in this world is just pure nourishment, do you?"

Roland's mouth twisted wickedly.

The deep starry sky cracked silently, outlining the cracks with striking malice, and the same smile was engraved on them.

Laura suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although out of the reach of the universe, her powers as a medium were enhanced by her proximity to the Tree of Life.

However...the impossible just can't be done.

The girl's pupils seemed to be unfocused, and the only thing that could be seen in them was terrified despair.

A pair of smooth, white arms stretched out from the golden hair behind Laura, embraced her neck with extremely gentle movements, and then stroked her head.

It was a horrible sight.

A lively girl appeared in Laura's hair, which was as long as a blanket but without any gaps.

Clearly, the other person emerged from her own hair, but it was not until this moment that Laura actually heard the voice that was more delicate than the fairy's singing and saw the figure that seemed like the embodiment of cuteness and dreams.

"Now that he has said so, please stop being a bad boy that gives me a headache, okay?"

The girl in the emerald green dress smiled brightly.

"Being separated from the one you love, even if it's only temporarily, is a form of torture for a girl in love. Even someone as magnanimous as Aige doesn't want to prolong this time any further."

"Number 666... ​​Are you a dragon too? Why are there two of them..."

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Laura would definitely doubt the facts before her.

She stared intently at the shadow cast by the girl in the light.

A great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns.

Although it is more inclined to the prosperous side of holding the cup in nature, how can an infinite value be divided by a finite number?
Just like Coronzon, whether he is the great demon that decomposes everything or the angel that leads the magician to the abyss, he will only be an individual and will never be split in half.

Does a world that plays with concepts like numbers really exist?

This is really too biased and too twisted.

Are the trees of life there completely indifferent? Or, how much do the humans there love to stir up trouble?
But now is not the time to worry.

"Stop it, Sajo Aika!"

When the dragon shadow piercing her hair began to gradually erode her body, Laura also called out in panic.

Because they are both numerically great demons, she knows the girl's real name.

"I can sense that you are not a rebel who has left the Tree of Life, but a fellow tribesman like me who obeys the numerical summons! Why are you helping Roland!"

"Well, if I have to give a reason, there are probably only two."

Sajo Aika raised two fingers and replied, "First of all, I'm a girl who's in love, and helping someone I like is more of an instinct than a choice."

"As for the second point, there is no need to explain it. After all..."

The girl smiled as brightly as the morning sun.

“…I am the mother of this child.”

Speechless, Laura withdrew her gaze.

At this moment, in her eyes, the words of the girl named Sajo Aika were proof that she had been harmed by Roland.

She looked fiercely at the young man sitting on the golden throne.

"You actually did this to me, a guy who plays with women!"

"How rude," Roland just smiled and waved his hand in response to such groundless accusations.

"——We are pure love." (End of this chapter)
