"You have a conscience?" Tamamo-no-Mae was increasingly astonished.
Even more so than when she saw the giant spider awaken.
If this guy had a conscience, he wouldn't be called [Merlin the Conscience] by so many people.
At that moment.
On the illusory screen, a petite and adorable blonde girl suddenly appeared.
The lock on her forehead stood out remarkably.
Behind her, a door leading to the void was slowly opening, from which endless knowledge and mystery flowed.
Merlin instantly covered her eyes and rolled on the ground, crying out, "Ah, my eyes, my eyes!"
The illusory screen suddenly shattered and vanished.
Just one glance had made her feel as if she had seen that powerful outer evil god, causing her entire soul to tremble and wail in madness.
Mortal beings cannot gaze directly at deities.
And as a candidate for a Grand Magus, she naturally could not look directly at that transcendent existence.
Given the terrifying power of the other party, even deities could be infected and corrupted into chaotic evil gods.
Let alone her, a mere magician.
The view through the "Thousand-Mile Eye" was clearer than that of an ordinary person's naked eye, and it subjected her to an even stronger backlash.
In an instant, she was rolling on the ground in pain, her eyes rolling back.
Sweat poured from her body, completely soaking her clothes, making her look particularly disheveled.
Tamamo looked at her miserable state, feeling a bit of trepidation.
Behind that evil god's representative was a terrifying outer god that surpassed human malice.
An existence that was exceedingly generous, granting any wish, yet utterly unbearable.
So, when that evil god's representative had gone, Nameless must have also visited the scene, right?
South America.
A door opened, and Abigail walked out calmly.
The Feathered Serpent God looked at her with great interest, "Interesting, you've actually caught the favor of that existence."
As a powerful deity, she could naturally see through the essence of others.
In her eyes.
The little loli in front of her was said to be a favored one, yet she was brimming with the overwhelming power of that outer god, Yog-Sothoth.
One could say that with just a word, the little loli could summon that outer god!
This was no ordinary favored one; it was clearly a daughter being spoiled!
At that moment.
Another figure stepped out from the door.
The Feathered Serpent God immediately rushed over, wrapping her arms tightly around her, "Wow, my adorable Master, it's been so long! Big sister has missed you so much!"
"Um…"
Souma felt a bit unaccustomed to her enthusiasm.
This cheerful big sister had taken a liking to him since their first meeting in the "Absolute Demon Beast Frontline" singularity.
She even publicly confessed, wanting him to marry her.
A powerful deity from the Three Goddess Alliance had transformed into a quirky older sister teasing a little boy.
Later, after he completely conquered her through her trials, she had become someone he considered family.
Souma cleared his throat, "It's been a while, cheerful and beautiful big sister. We're going to team up for battle again this time."
When facing the terrifying extraterrestrial visitor, this local deity's assistance was naturally indispensable.
Or rather, her powers would also be effective against this monster.
"Sure, sure! How about I indulge big sister once first?" The Feathered Serpent God smiled at him, her beautiful eyes filled with mischief.
For a deity, it was quite difficult to find something that piqued their interest.
Having finally found a boy that fit the XP system, she naturally wanted to see if she could keep him close.
Souma suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed, "Ahem, I came here to save the world."
"Hehe, but your body seems to be quite honest, my cute Master." The Feathered Serpent God grinned, playfully pinching his cheek.
But she didn't say much more.
Because the evil god's representative was glaring at her with an unfriendly gaze.
The Feathered Serpent God laughed, "Alright, I won't tease this cute Master anymore. Let's discuss our strategy together."
"Mm!"
Souma quickly nodded, breaking free from her overly enthusiastic embrace.
She was too enthusiastic; he couldn't handle it at all.
The most important thing right now was, of course, to discuss how to deal with this extremely terrifying existence.
Its surface identity was that of Mercury UO, possessing a planetary-level spiritual foundation, strong enough to explode stars.
This could very well be its alternate account!
Just like how he appeared to be an ordinary high school student from Sakura, merely goofing off, while in reality, he was the strongest nameless spirit guarding humanity.
The true identity of the other party could very well rival that of the primordial father, Chaos!
Facing such a terrifying existence, even he had no confidence in defeating it.
Once it awakened.
Regardless of whether it was just a lazy spider wanting to sleep, humanity had to be fully prepared for anything.
Abigail softly said, "I can summon the power of the Father God to expel it to Mercury."
"Well then, what's the cost?" Souma fixed his gaze on her.
Everything follows the principle of equivalent exchange.
Even though Abigail was the favored one most cherished by Yog, she couldn't just let him pay such a hefty price.
Abigail let out a small sigh, "The cost would naturally be that this entire continent would be completely eroded by the Father God's power, and everyone would face eternal slumber!"
"…Then let's forget it."
Souma felt a headache coming on.
That existence was indeed absurdly powerful.
But the price for taking action was too steep, wasn't it?
There were hundreds of millions of people living in South America; one couldn't just say "no" and leave it at that, could they?
The earlier erosion of the Dragon Kingdom's heavenly gods was not the arrival of the entity's true body.
Rather, it was a meteor imbued with the powers of Yog and other outer gods falling onto the land of the Dragon Kingdom, thus initiating the terrifying erosion.
If its true body were to descend, it would undoubtedly threaten the very existence of the Dragon Kingdom's civilization!
"When the stars align, chaos will rise from the depths, and the great primordial will awaken, leading everything to destruction," Abigail softly said.
This was the ancient prophecy passed down through the ages.
The Cthulhu outer god was indeed a face of cosmic chaos and destruction, incapable of coexisting with humanity.
One method of dealing with the enemy was completely abandoned.
Souma's eyes were filled with worry, "It seems we can only wait for the video to see what attitude that brat will take."
The great spider, Ort, had yet to truly display a world-ending attitude.
After all, it was summoned to fight.
Everything depended on how that brat would choose.
If the other party chose destruction, then the great spider would undoubtedly annihilate humanity without hesitation.
If the other party chose to coexist peacefully with humanity, the great spider would likely continue to lounge around and sleep.
It might even turn around and head back to its home on Mercury, or even to the Oort Cloud, to be neighbors with Ultraman.
So, preparations for the ultimate war must be made before that!
Souma felt a bit of a headache.
It seemed he would have to give his all again, burning his life and soul in a frenzied battle.
He just didn't know if humanity could continue on this time.
After this battle, he should be able to truly return home and rest, right?
...
As countless people anxiously awaited, time passed slowly.
Before long, it was noon on January 19th.
The time announced in the preview had finally arrived.
Ding dong~
The doorbell rang.
Souma walked over to open the door and saw two little lolis standing outside, "Welcome, welcome."
"We came to watch the new video with you and Roya," Illya said with a sweet smile.
Miyu also slightly tilted her head to greet him, "Brother, good afternoon."
"Come on in, I've prepared popcorn and fruits. Let's eat while we watch," Souma said with a smile.
The video from Alaya was, for those not directly involved, an ultimate cinematic experience.
Every time a video was uploaded, it was a visual feast of epic proportions.
Countless people were eagerly anticipating the next update.
After all, this was directed by the top-tier director and cinematographer, far beyond what any small-time creators could achieve.
The editing, scene effects, and so on surpassed the limits of human capability, perfectly recreating his experiences.
Souma took this for granted.
Let's not forget how long he had worked for Alaya.
He had sacrificed his entire youth, fighting madly to protect humanity.
There was no way they wouldn't give him at least this much treatment, right?
Just casually throwing together a video would be an insult!
If that were the case, they would undoubtedly be the most blood-sucking, heartless capitalists.
Even facing the danger of annihilation, he would have to wait until after watching the video to know.
So, Souma maintained a calm demeanor, adopting a typical movie-watching posture.
Roya, sitting on the sofa, quickly called out, "You're here? Hurry up, it's only a few minutes until the official broadcast starts. You guys are too late!"
"Not late, not late, just in time," Illya said as she walked over and sat beside her.
Miyu glanced at the LCD TV, clenching her small fists, "I've been looking forward to this for so long! I just want to see how that bastard Demon King gets defeated by my brother!"
If it weren't for the other party's dark destruction plan, her brother wouldn't have had to fight with everything he had time and again.
Everything was the Demon King's fault!
"Hehe, soon the Demon King will be brutally beaten. Just thinking about it makes me breathless with excitement," Roya said, her eyes curving with delight.
She was really looking forward to it.
That guy was the ultimate culprit, nearly leading humanity to extinction!
Hanging him up and executing him a hundred times wouldn't be excessive!
Souma's expression turned strange upon hearing this.
Could this also be part of Alaya's plan?
Little rascal, I hope you can still laugh after watching this!
Under everyone's anticipation, the clock finally struck twelve.
The long-awaited "Throne of Time" officially began broadcasting.
The comments exploded in an instant, with the number of online viewers skyrocketing—
[Here it comes! Finally, we can see that bastard Solomon King getting his comeuppance!]
[Hehe, I've been waiting too long for this, I've prepared a birthday cake to celebrate while I watch!]
[Bastard Solomon King, I curse you to be beaten by Nameless! Hurry up!]
[Today, Alaya's exclusive "Throne of Time" is premiering, and I, Gudao, will play the final Master, defeating Solomon King and saving the world!]
[The moment of Solomon King's public execution has arrived; the grand magician will be witnessed by all as he gets beaten up, just thinking about it makes me want to laugh out loud!]
