"Violet, ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍what are the chances that I, as I am now, can defeat the Monster Lord?"

Killian ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍asked the Violet Magic Tower, showing it Karma.

[‘Violet ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Magic Tower’ sparkles its eyes at the existence of ‘Karma.’]

"Where ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍does a building even have eyes?"

[‘Violet ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Magic Tower’ points out the First Guardian's frivolous language.]

Despite their seemingly useless exchange, it did not take long for him to hear Violet's answer.

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ answers the First Guardian's question.]

[A probability of 50% or greater has been calculated.]

"As expected, a Transcendent is a Transcendent."

Just as stabilizing 9-Star and mastering it revealed strength from different dimensions, another dimension existed between a 9-Star Master and a Transcendent.

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ reports that it has transmitted every record of the battle.]

The Dragon Lord and Monster Lord, who invaded while Killian was absent.

Charles's battles with them inside the Violet Magic Tower were transmitted to Killian as well.

The Dragon Lord who had swallowed Hazard had not yet reached Transcendence, while the Monster Lord, who had taken the Mixed-Color Duke as his host, stood at the level of Transcendence.

"What are the chances that I can defeat Lord as I am now?"

The force behind all events.

The God of the beginning, and the one and only God who had sealed the ancient human.

He had asked in preparation for the time, not far away, when they would have to settle things.

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ answers the First Guardian's second question.]

[A probability below 1% has been calculated.]

"That is grim."

The Violet Magic Tower had produced a number below his expectations.

The fact that it was not 0% was probably because it had considered various variables.

The easiest variable to consider was annihilating all of Lord's fragments.

Three fragments had been revealed thus far.

'I should leave the Emperor to His Majesty.'

In the past, Simon Eurasia had been defeated by the Emperor.

But this time, he had Adamas at his side.

Within Adamas were Edan and the Curse of Anomalies.

A bitter smile drifted over Killian's lips.

'Edan was not sealed into the sword in the same form as I was.'

Unlike Killian, who had been forced by Lord's Authority to live as a sword, Edan's soul was merely bound by a curse.

Having failed to reach complete Transcendence, his soul would still be cutting down Anomalies even now.

'If my guess is right.......'

For Simon Eurasia to wield Adamas completely meant that he had cut down Edan's soul.

Edan chose a life of sacrifice to protect humanity.

Even after suffering for hundreds of years, the end that awaited him was to be cut down by his descendant and disappear.

'You would still be smiling, even then.'

He sighed as he recalled the close friend who had been closer to Transcendence than anyone.

If Simon Eurasia inherited Edan's sword, he would not be helplessly defeated by the Emperor as before.

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ hopes that the First Guardian will not be discouraged.]

[It emphasizes that Lord's power is unfathomable.]

They were words that offered no comfort at all.

"In the end, I cannot do without the Gate when facing Lord."

The realm reached through the Ultimate of Mana.

The ancient human Adamas rose to Transcendence through the Gate, but not everything was perfect.

'The Gate is a technique that annihilates existence.'

It was a power that cast things outside the world, and even lower Divinities could not resist it with their Authorities before being annihilated.

He thought it was the strongest technique.

Sealed within a sword, he had imitated countless Authorities convincingly, but he could not use a power like the Gate.

He had passed on Ke and Shik so that mortals who had not reached Transcendence could use mana efficiently, and the boundary between the two methods grew indistinct the higher one's realm became.

In that respect, his two close friends had been good examples.

"Palantir."

A knight who mastered 9-Star and stood on the brink of Transcendence.

Edan Eurasia had cut down the Monster Lord, who was Lord's arrangement, and slain an Anomaly that could be called a Transcendent.

"I put everything of the Violet Magic Tower into the Seed."

A mage who mastered 9-Star only at the brink of death.

Diana Cornelia studied and developed the knowledge accumulated over generations.

The owner of the Seed would synchronize with the Violet Magic Tower and create magic capable of standing against even Transcendents.

'If Charles had been synchronized with the Magic Tower, I would not be worried.'

Beyond an age where 9-Stars had become common, three Transcendents existed in the current world.

Lord, the one and only God.

Killian Eurasia, who had accepted Origin's power.

The Monster Lord, fused with the Mixed-Color Duke.

Whichever of the two Charles encountered, she had no chance of victory.

It was clear that the more time passed, the worse it would be for Charles.

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ admires the First Guardian's determination.]

"After living for thousands of years, I learned that life does not go as one expects."

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ understands the First Guardian's intention.]

"I am assuming a battle not only against the ‘Monster Lord,’ but against ‘Lord’ as well."

To do that, he needed to create various variables that could raise the 1% probability.

Fortunately, Hazard and Orchid Owl, who could move freely within the Magic Tower, were by his side.

"I will turn the board over."

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ cannot hide its shock at the First Guardian's plan.]

At that familiar reaction, Killian's smile deepened.

"Your imagination really is lacking."

"What cannot be imagined cannot be manifested with magic."

It was something Charles often said.

"What cannot be imagined cannot be made real."

Killian stated it with certainty.

"From now on, battles of that level will unfold one after another."

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ identifies the Green Magic Tower's coordinates.]

[‘Green Magic Tower’ permits entry.]

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ identifies the Holy Tower's coordinates.]

[‘Holy Tower’ permits entry.]

Killian sent Hazard and Orchid Owl to Elvenheim and Luminescia respectively.

Not long afterward—

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ succeeds in locating ‘Charles Cornelia.’]

The moment he entered his opponent's space, his synchronization with the Violet Magic Tower would be released.

Therefore—

"Be ready, Violet."

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ steels its resolve.]

[It wishes the heir and Guardian good fortune in battle.]

Thus, he identified the coordinates and reached Charles.

Killian challenged the one-percent probability.

"Reversion."

The Transcendent's power began to sweep through the area.

***

Ssssss—

Blue Karma blanketed the area.

It looked the same as when Carpe Illusion was used.

'Reversion halts structures within the world.'

At the same time, it was a technique that redefined the halted structures as he wished.

The Radiance that touched Karma began to go out one by one.

[After the power to cast things Outside, now you have the power to reassemble existence?]

Lord's mouth opened, having seen through Karma's nature.

Teeth grew from the open mouth.

Crunch.

Then he bit into Karma as though it were flesh with form.

[For a technique made in haste, its construction is not bad.]

What he had used moments ago was the Authority of Devouring.

Ordinarily, he could devour an Authority merely by biting it apart.

Karma did not become that way.

Lord recalled the process by which Killian Eurasia obtained the power called Karma.

The impurity Killian had left behind, named Origin, was mixed into it at a high concentration.

Divine Power combined with Killian Eurasia's mana was refusing to return to its original master.

[Troublesome.]

After long experimentation, Lord had created a way to partially step outside the Laws of the World.

That achievement was why Killian Eurasia, who had reached Transcendence, could not use the Gate.

But the technique of the human called the Godslayer had been passed on to Charles Cornelia, and Killian had gained a new power that opposed Gods.

Mana and Karma.

He had created two powers capable of standing against himself, the one and only God.

[.......]

Lord's eyes fell on Killian, who stood with his back to Charles Cornelia.

Charles Cornelia was the key to escaping the Laws of the World completely.

The same was true for Adamas.

[Hand her over.]

Riiip—

A maw created as space tore apart—

Crunch!

Bit down on the place where Killian and Charles had been.

Killian seized Charles by the waist and evaded it by the narrowest margin.

Crunch! Crunch!

Space tore apart, and he repeatedly avoided it by warping away.

'Did he fuse the Authorities of Devouring and Space?'

They were all powers Lord had not divided away.

They were also the Authorities that had neutralized his Gate in ancient times.

'If I am hit, I have to accept a reduction in my Existence Force. Karma recovers more slowly than Mana.'

He also had to make sure that Charles, hanging limp in his grip, was not taken from him.

'Charles, have you still not returned?'

She had received the memories of an existence that had lived for tens of thousands of years without a Magic Tower.

Even a 9-Star mage would not be unaffected by the shock.

The plan he had made could not succeed without Charles.

'I will buy time.'

He considered the many possibilities of the Nameless Formula.

'I will not dismantle existence.'

Lord's being, concept, actions, memories, energy, and temporal traces.

'I will analyze and return them.'

He redefined every element that composed Lord.

He settled the ‘results’ Lord had accumulated and extracted the inconsistent flow between cause and purpose.

'Lord wants to return to the perfect state he possessed in the beginning.'

The Authority he had regained, ‘Radiance,’ was proof of that.

Killian determined the perfect state to which Lord could return.

Bzzzz—

A formula that dismantled existence activated according to the determined value of Reversion.

Killian raised his hand and concentrated Karma.

Kiiiiing—

A blue sphere opposing the sphere of Radiance spun and extinguished Lord's Radiance.

Whoooosh—

The more the sphere spun, the more Lord's time rewound into the past.

The featureless form that made up Lord gradually grew faint.

It was structurally dismantling him and returning him to his initial state.

"I will send you back to a time you yourself cannot remember."

Clench.

When Killian closed his fist, Karma wrapped Lord in the form of a band.

It enveloped his body and soul, separating their structure.

[Indeed...... I see.]

Lord looked down at his body, which was beginning to grow faint.

Regardless of the quantity of Divine Power he possessed, his existence itself was being denied.

[Loooord--!!]

[How can you--]

[I curse you!!]

The screams of the brothers he had devoured echoed.

They were illusions that degraded body and mind.

Surprisingly, the current attack was harming him.

If he allowed the attack to continue, the meaning of his existence would be shaken.

But—

[Disappointing.]

Lord's faint lips twisted.

"You killed the Gods and changed the Laws of the World, disrupting my plans."

[That is still not enough to annihilate me.]

Adamas had been given power by the brothers who did not follow Lord.

He joined hands with the impurity Lord had left behind for the end and appeared.

Rattle— Rattle—

Lord activated the Authority of Time, the Authority of Cronis that he had devoured long ago.

Time, which had begun to rewind, flowed forward once more.

The Authority of Regeneration restored his faded body.

Using only two Authorities disrupted Killian's Reversion.

Finally—

Crunch!

The Authority of Devouring completely neutralized it.

Killian Eurasia, pretending to be calm, and Charles Cornelia, whose consciousness had returned but whose face was weary, came into view.

[You are only buying time at most.]

Lord sneered, but—

"It will be time that tightens around your life."

Violet mana tore through space once more.

"Gate."

A Gate, smaller than before, absorbed the Karma and Divine Power throughout the area.

[Insufficient. With that much, you are nowhere close to—]

"No, it is enough."

Karma combined with violet mana.

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ identifies every value.]

The Mana and Karma that flowed through the Gate connected to the Violet Magic Tower's true body.

"Nameless Formula."

"Transfer."

[‘Violet Magic Tower’ answers the First Guardian's call.]
