Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

In an instant, it felt like an electric current was running through my whole body.

Laura's face flushed.

Roland's answer was not so much calm as it was justified, which made even she, a great devil, feel shameless.

"You are even worse than Aleister, a monkey who can only swing his hips."

Although Sajo Aika's love is heavy, it is not vague or empty. It transcends her mission as a beast and is her true self and true likes and dislikes that burn like a raging fire.

For a girl like this to be able to maintain such pure love and yet take it for granted that mother and lover are two completely different identities, she doesn't think this is the result of a natural cycle.

"Although it is an undeniable fact that I am a scumbag, there is nothing inappropriate about the description of pure love between me and Ai Ge."

Roland's expression was also quite subtle.

He is not like the common male protagonists in the harem who pretend to be stupid. He has a clear understanding of his actions and desires.

But to be honest, the relationship between Aika Sajo and him is really pure.

In other words, for the Princess of Root, this love is her character, her actions, everything about her.

In this regard, even Sakuraman Mana and Lilith are inferior to each other.

After all, in the beginning, they were more or less driven by the life instinct of wanting to integrate within the race.

But Sajo Aika gave everything she had without asking for anything in return. The so-called lover and even the identity of being a mother were just ties she created to prove this love.

"Who would believe a smooth-talking scumbag like you?"

Coronzon's expression was extremely gloomy, and he was shouting without any image.

After realizing that she had become a butterfly on a spider's web, she could only use this behavior to express her anxiety.

"I didn't expect that after a hundred years of planning, the final result would be to perish together with this guy, tsk..."

Even though the fact that Aleister, who refused even the position of Demon God and fought against God in the form of a human, was played around with, it can be regarded as a highlight even in the long time that has passed since the birth of the world.

But for Laura, who thinks highly of herself, this is not even a consolation prize, at most it is just an entertainment for the show.

However, Roland did not intend to give the other party even this little bit of comfort.

"If it makes you feel better to think that way, then so be it."

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Laura's body trembled, and she looked at Roland, who looked as if it had nothing to do with her, with conflicting emotions in her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

As if to confirm, although her body was gradually slipping out of Aige's control, Laura still tilted her head and carefully looked at Aleister's condition.

“There is nothing abnormal… Even if we consider the separated female form as the successor, Aleister should be dead now!”

Laura's confidence does not come from herself, but from the contract with the Tree of Life.

Although the opponent's current realm can create many backdoors, it is only limited to the present tense. Before he was solved by Roland, Aleister's death was already a foregone conclusion.

Even Roland can only add changes to this result.

"Of course he's dead. Didn't I congratulate you on your successful revenge at the beginning?"

Roland confirmed Laura's statement without hesitation.

But this performance made the big devil's expression even more confused.

"But as I said before, every life in this world is my own currency. As long as I ensure that its value is still defined by me and it is not destroyed without authorization, I don't have many restrictions on its circulation."

"After all, death is part of circulation, isn't it?"

Roland lowered his head and said with a smile.

Although the voice was soft and gentle, Laura still felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, and the chill spread rapidly in her heart.

As the supreme bishop who led the rise of Puritanism and accumulated huge assets, she certainly could understand this bank-like metaphor.

Indeed, when money returns to the bank from the market, whether it is kept as a reserve or discarded, it does not affect the value it represents.

Even for some things like bad debts, this might be better.

Because after entering the internal processing procedures, the essence of value is returned, and this intangible asset that is difficult to lose can be realized in alternative ways.

Then you can put it——

"…Spend it. Did you deliberately let Aleister die?"

Roland narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. "It's too harsh to say that you let it go. This is just a transaction that we both agreed on."

"For Aleister, the huge possibility of not cooperating with each other is a burden."

"If it wasn't for the purpose of suppressing them in the same coordinates, he wouldn't have to lock himself in the jar and could implement the plan more flexibly."

"In this case, it would be better to maximize the use of these assets through bankruptcy reorganization."

Laura stared at the silent Aleister and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

"You've already taken into account the feud between me and Aleister."

"No wonder that woman, who looked like a new subject, had no intention of rescuing or fighting, but instead took the opportunity to escape. It turns out that the purpose of her being separated was to stay as a continuation."

"From the very beginning, you packaged Aleister's life into an alluring trap, so that I would fall into it and completely entrap everything I have."

Laura lowered her eyes and hummed in hatred as if she was grinding her teeth.

It was obvious that this was a scam specifically targeting her.

Under normal circumstances, even if Roland would not have any trouble in dismantling the bad assets named Aleister, he would still have to do it himself.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, these possibilities will become a frenzy that sweeps the entire world, and a battle royale will be decided to determine the only survivor.

But now that I have invested in the company, all the risks are borne by the Abyss of the Tree of Life.

Aleister can leave out the next possible option that is closest to the subject's choice in advance and escape in advance.

Roland could also use her invisible barrier to utilize Aleister's value in a more secure way.

This guy even said that it was troublesome to pretend to be ignorant - isn't this just making a fortune in silence?

But why bother?
With Roland's ideals and control over the Tree of Life, there are many ways to turn himself into a ticket.

Although it is more convenient to solve them together, it should not be difficult for him to solve them separately. Wouldn't it be better to eliminate the hidden dangers in advance?
Such doubts went around in Laura's mind and then disappeared.

She already knew the answer from Roland's eyes.

opportunity.

What Roland needed was a chance to simultaneously liberate Aleister's possibilities and gain access to the demon that would lead him into the abyss.

This phenomenon is common in both science and magic. Only at a certain temperature can two ordinary metals become an alloy that combines the advantages of both.

The Apostle Cross, a relic of St. Peter in the Roman Orthodox Church, can only be effective on the anniversary of his death.

In other words, it is possible to deal with the two of them separately, but only by dealing with them together can Roland's needs at this stage be met.

A need that is beyond the capabilities of the complete formular.

Therefore, even though Roland had clearly laid a backup plan like Sajo Aika, he still did not care about it and did not reveal any clues or signs.

"I have one last question, can you answer it for me?"

"Tell me."

Roland smiled slightly and did not reject Laura's question.

The closer the other party's mental activity is to a trance at the moment, the easier it will be to transform and contract with him later.

Laura also guessed Roland's plan, but it is the nature of the devil to seduce others with sweet words.

To trace everything back, to taunt her calculating enemies with naive hopes and predictable poison, was a victory for her, who was essentially incapable of producing anything.

Therefore, when she became the object of ridicule and calculation, even though she knew that this was like handing over her lifeblood, Laura, who was heartbroken, did not intend to suppress her curiosity any longer.

"Under what circumstances would it take for Aleister's potential to be equal to my value?"

"In a dream, of course."

Roland spoke some bizarre lines in a serious tone.

"The universe is God's love. In order to preserve everything that continues in the dream, and to ensure that the gap between reality and truth does not close, your value is naturally equal when serving as the key to awaken me."

"what?"

Laura was stunned.

But just as silence was an answer, the similarity in size was large enough for the demon to extract some kind of omen from the poison and weight of this sentence.

Although he is a beast from another world, he is willing to grow up again as a human being and steadily construct a plan to take over the world.

The conquest, which could have been completed in a short period of time, had to be spread to all of humanity over a span of years.

Why did Roland go to such lengths? Now, the answer was revealed.

"Everything in this world is just a reality combined with your dreams... and when you wake up, the world will be destroyed?"

It's not because someone did something special that the world ended, but because someone did something special that the world was preserved.

It's just like that simple truth.

It wasn't that Roland couldn't leave the majestic golden throne.

But I can't leave.

This was an iron rule that Roland had been following before coming to Toaru Majutsu no Index.

After all, no matter whether he is a fireless ashes that may have been burned out, or a demon of the Christian religion, it makes no difference to the Supreme Angel who is trapped on this throne.

Anyway, after it comes out, it will follow its mission and use the principle of annihilation to annihilate all worlds that have been tainted by the Key of All Spirits.

Even if it is confined to the size of the World Sea, it is at most similar to the Magical Index world.

If the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index is like a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, then the disciples of the Supreme Angel are the raging fire that gathers into a disaster.

Even if the tree can stand firm under the flames at first, it will eventually turn into irreversible charcoal.

Even if Roland was a perfect demon god who could construct the world with his own gravity, he could not eliminate this gap.

Compared with before, the most he had gained was the right to continue escaping in this endless battle royale.

With the painstakingly built Toaru Majutsu no Index universe as a shield, Roland was 100% sure he could get rid of this mindless tool.

"But this will not satisfy me. My ambition will never stop me here, and..."

"…It's enough to experience the taste of failure once."

Roland lowered his head, the deep red in his pupils seemed to burst out, transforming into a condensed flame.

Sacrificing all possibilities, even if the result of a Jedi counterattack is just to become a prisoner on the throne, using death to trap both the enemy and yourself.

Even though Roland was a very optimistic person, he couldn't consider this a victory.

It's not even possible to describe it as a tragic victory.

It was an absolute defeat.

Although he could find countless valid reasons to whitewash the matter.

Even if we don't talk about the fact that the Key of All Souls is derived from the snake, the disparity in strength between Roland, who was at most a single universe level at the time, and the Supreme Angel's disciples was enough to silence all critical comments.

But failure is failure, and there is no room for any excuses in the face of a determined result.

Roland also relied on his own strength to bully the weak many times.

So he knew very well that there was never absolute fairness in the world, and the winner was everything.

"So what if I could escape? Even if I can now swim in the World Ocean, it's just a bigger cage."

"Compared to being a bird in a cage, no matter how many times I reincarnate, I will only choose another path."

"What's more, compared to the gap between chess player and chess piece before, now I and that guy are just hunter and prey."

A disdainful smile appeared on the young man's handsome face, just like the ferocious fangs of a wild beast baring when it sees its prey.

Even Aleister, who can only play paper, dares to gamble his life with the demon god who can play at will in the game of rock-paper-scissors. Roland's awareness is naturally no less.

But in order for the time to reverse everything to come, so that his claws can cut through the monster's body without any sluggishness, he must wait for a specific opportunity to buy a buffer period to merge with the world he has carefully built.

To do this, he must satisfy two possibilities at the same time.

The first point is to bring all the high-dimensional lives that symbolize the invisible interference of the world to one side and form an offensive and defensive alliance to avoid internal fire.

And...find another source of firewood to replace yourself, to buy this time.

The fire has gradually gone out, but what kind of ending will the missing Wang Ying leave? He has relived it countless times when he accompanied Rick in the world of No Game No Life to study the essence of the game.

"So, it's your turn to pass on the fire, Aleister."

"I understand."

Despite how terrifying the weight of the word "fire transmission" was, the calmness on Aleister's face did not waver at all.

"Next... I will attack in the form of the Lord of Fire." (End of this chapter)
