I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"——Persona!"

Amidst the hoarse shouts, the butterfly mask on Shen Er's face ignited with blue-white flames and burned out instantly.

In the next moment, even stranger and larger numbers of beings appeared one after another.

There are hundreds of them all over the mountains and plains, in the sky, on the ground, and even underground.

Some of these individuals have wings and some have tails.

Some have six arms, while others have four pairs of eyes.

Some are humanoid, some are not humanoid.

Some are single individuals, while others are clusters.

None of them are repeated, but they have common characteristics - every existence can find its roots in the myths and legends spread on the earth.

There are famous gods such as Monkey King, Satan Ye, and Loki.

There are fantasy monsters like hundred-armed giants and undead legions.

There are famous strange animals from all over the world such as Suzaku, Nekomata, and Unicorn.

There are also cute fairies like Nancy Liang and Pixie.

But it was different from when he attacked Sefalu. The gods, demons, or strange beasts and fairies here do not have the same feeling of being out of tune with the world when the gods come. They need to use magic to break the world order to appear. Instead, they are extremely closely connected with the world. It seems that this is it. Be part of a modern era whose mystique has faded.

"You came up with something interesting again."

Aozaki Aoko's fighting spirit was further stimulated. Sure enough, fighting with magicians is more interesting than those weak chickens that can be seen everywhere.

Kishua's observation went even deeper.

"The power of faith?"

"You can see all this?" Shenji said this, confirming Ji Xiuya's guess.

“The longer you live, the more you will know.”

Kishua's age is measured in thousands. He has experienced the tail end of the age of gods and the entire age of elves, and knows the impact that faith has on the world.

What is faith?

The dictionary definition refers to belief and admiration for a certain idea or religion and for someone or something.

This is certainly correct, but in Shinji's eyes, this definition is too narrow.

In his view, faith is human cognition.

Belief and admiration are beliefs. Negative emotions such as hatred, fear, and jealousy are also beliefs. Even rumors and distortions are also beliefs.

Just like gods in mythology, there are always good and evil. Good gods are the aggregation of good emotions, while evil gods are the summation of negative emotions.

When belief reaches a certain level, fantasy will be born, which may be based on reality, or it may create an image out of thin air.

The reason why there are as many stars as gods in human history is because of the influence of faith, which differentiated the original natural gods and gave birth to non-existent gods.

The reason why heroes like Vlad III and Antonio Salieri became "innocent monsters" is precisely because of the power of faith.

Strictly speaking, the army of gods and monsters pulled out by Shinji is not genuine, but a belief that still exists in the world and exists in human cognition.

As long as humans still have illusions about these existences, Shinji can guide and manifest them.

No matter how small the emotion is, it is a kind of faith. When faith is restrained and given a fixed image, it becomes a "personality mask". This is exactly the field controlled by the third magic - the concept of soul materialization is no narrower than the second magic "parallel world interference", which was used before Those are just the tip of the iceberg.

By the way, Zepia's "Night of Wallachia" is also within the scope of the third magic. The true identity of the so-called "Sixth Law" is still unclear. Maybe it really doesn't exist, maybe it's the same as the time manipulation of the fifth method, it's a by-product of magic, and conflicts with the third magic.

Aoko became a little impatient when she realized that Shenji's words were getting more and more profound and tended to be crooked.

"Why are you talking so much? You're not going to fight! Let me see what these weird guys are capable of."

As he spoke, he turned into a red meteor and rushed into the "Persona" cluster.

However, only a minute later, the red meteor rushed back along the same path. Although it was not seriously injured, there was a bit of embarrassment in its posture.

The reason is simple. There are too many personas, and each persona has weird abilities. One-on-one, Aoko can easily handle it, but with hundreds of them together, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and Aoko's strength alone is a bit too weak. He couldn't even find a chance to use a move like the Great Lunar Eclipse, so he had to retreat temporarily.

Qingzi, who stabilized his body, wiped his face vigorously and smiled instead of being angry: "It's getting more and more interesting, isn't it just that there are more people than there are? I can do it too!"

The next second, a blue beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Aozaki Aoko's figure in the beam of light is sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

When it is blurred, it is still one, but when it is clear, it has become three.

No matter how blurry or clear it becomes, it becomes nine, and so on, and in the end it turns out to be more than a hundred.

"Again? This time it won't add to the burden on the universe, right?" Orange muttered in a low voice.

"It won't happen this time. It's not like I haven't grown at all." More than a hundred Qingzi spoke together and stared at Chengzi together, which looked quite spectacular.

The conversation between the sisters gave Shinji a hint.

"Summoning selves at different points in time... Sure enough, the essence of the fifth magic is the same as I thought, it is the operation of the quantum fixed belt."

In the night of the magician, the turning point between Orange's sure victory and final defeat was when Aoko activated her magic and summoned herself ten years later.

Aoko also played a one-man army, half of which faced the "Persona" army, and the other half all aimed at Kishua.

When Shen Er saw this, he also separated half of his persona. There was no reason to favor one person against another in such a brawl between three people.

"Old man, I heard that you are the only existence in the parallel world in all time and space. What will you do? Or is it a 'multi-dimensional twist'?"

"What you said is also a method. However, making hundreds of twists and turns at once and making different movements is complicated and inefficient. As I get older, my energy is not as good as before, so I choose another method."

The second half of the last sentence is the key point. The first half, Aoko and Shinji both took it as a joke - how could Zhu Yue's direct (uncontrollable) dead disciple not have enough energy?

Ripples similar to the "King's Treasure" appeared on Kishua's hand. He put his free left hand in and when he pulled it out, there was a dark golden metal glove on his pale palm. In the center of the back of the glove, each of the five knuckles is inlaid with six gems of different colors.

The old man folded his little and ring fingers, rubbed his thumb, middle finger, and index finger hard, and then snapped his fingers with his gloved left hand.

Just hearing a strange "pop~", time and space fluctuated violently.

The "Personas" and the Aoko Group that surrounded them seemed to be swallowed by an invisible mouth, disappearing into the air in pieces.
