Lost Narrative Poetry

——VICARIUS666.

Xia Ran suddenly thought of this magical name. He had no idea at first, but after Saten Ruiko asked, he suddenly felt that he did need a magical name.

A magical name that can carry oneself, and at the same time, a character that can scare Aleister, explain his origins, and pave the way for the future... This is still very necessary, if you don't know him at all. If he knew the details, Aleister would probably always be on guard against his existence.

So in the blink of an eye, Xia Ran chose a magical name for herself according to the rules of modern magicians, and it basically meant what Aleister guessed. In this regard, it was not the Hanged Man's random thinking. Supplementary, but it does have a corresponding mystical basis.

After all, the magician has basically grasped a rough idea of ​​how to practice his own path.

Although Aleister definitely doesn't hope that he can succeed, considering that they actually have a common enemy, at least until all the demons are dealt with, the Hanged Man will still want to take advantage of Xia Ran's existence.

This is the basis for mutual cooperation. After all, "replacing that useless god and giving the world the correct laws" has always been Aleister's dream.

As for the character of the Antichrist, Xia Ran follows the same path in a sense, and can even be said to be the predecessor and pioneer who walked before Aleister.

Although in the end his existence is Aleister's enemy, after all Aleister wants to end all magic and mystery and return the entire universe to a pure world with only pure physical laws, and the "Antichrist" is what he wants Become a new god.

But at least before reaching the final step, the chairman of the governing council had a basis for cooperation with Xia Ran, and he probably felt that if he first used the existence of the "Antichrist" to destroy all old affairs and religious magic phase, and then defeating the "Antichrist" before he becomes the god of the new world is not a good idea.

——Cultivation of a demon god whose nature is destined to defeat all other demon gods, and then the only demon god is left.

——Then Aleister, who was going to fight all the demon gods at the same time, only had to defeat one demon god.

This is Xia Ran's routine. He wants to show Aleister such a wonderful possibility and coax the other party to become his ally, because if he is the only one without any allies, he wants to complete all of this. It's very difficult.

If Aleister doesn't take the bait, he is going to go to London to find Laura, who appears to be the supreme bishop but is actually the great devil. There is also the possibility of cooperation, but it is not as stable as Aleister. Not the best choice.

However, the original idea was this.

The magician is also planning to perfect the meaning of the magic name "VICARIUS666" in the future, and weave a corresponding character to explain his origin. Anyway, there is no evidence of the past, and it is normal that no traces or records can be found in history.

After all, this world has been reshaped and distorted countless times. In the hands of the demon gods, the entire world can be molded into any shape they want, just like kneading clay.

Legends have become myths, history has become stories, and the truth of the past has gone through countless changes and twists. It can be said that even those demon gods can't figure out what the world was like before they superimposed phases. Kind of.

Therefore, Xia Ran can completely use this name to fabricate his own personality at will.

Then--

He suddenly realized that this was not necessary.

Because after he said the magic name, after someone learned about the magic name and made inferences and investigations based on the meaning of the word, history that did not originally exist began to appear in the past.

"It" weirdly penetrates all phases, extending in the long river of time, existing in the past and settling in the future. This piece of history that did not originally exist is becoming a part of the real ancient affairs, looming in the past world line, constantly wandering, and coming to life.

Whether it was a reverse effect or a cause, or transcending time, Xia Ran definitely "recalled" this memory.

He did not come to this world not long ago, but he had already walked among the nations of this world long, long ago.

Therefore, the magician finally vaguely understood what kind of state he was currently in.

"So...is that so?"

Xia Ran stood up silently, walked to the window and stared at Academy City in midsummer. One end of the rapidly floating clouds revealed the blue sky.

A deep blue that seems to penetrate everything.

A world without any worries.

Looking at the pleasant world in the distance, he slowly showed a helpless and relieved expression. There was some kind of relaxed smile in his eyes, and at the same time, there was some kind of strange light.

"...What does he want to do?"

This scene was naturally noticed by Aleister, who was extremely vigilant and had been paying attention to him. Located in a windowless building, a human in green surgical clothes hanging upside down in a huge test tube is paying full attention to this scene.

Through the monitoring of the lag loop, he looked at the young man as if he was right in front of him, watching the light in his eyes pouring down bit by bit, as if there was infinity as wide as the ocean inside. Therefore there is infinite brilliance blooming from it.

In a daze, Aleister felt that he seemed to see...

With that little bit of brilliance pouring out, it seems that infinite time and space are flowing out, unfolding with those eyes as the reference point. In the state of quantum entanglement, the long river of time continues endlessly in the darkness, brightness and destruction. surge.

It is longer than history and grander than the universe. Parallel universes are ups and downs in the long river, connected in series on the absolute timeline.

…………

As if waking up from a dream, the midsummer of Academy City faded away in an instant.

The noisy crowds at the comic exhibition venue surged in the next moment, as if it was the bustle of a vegetable market.

The crowds of people around were surging, surrounding each other, leaving only an open space in the middle. Some people looked nervous, some were at a loss, and some were shouting, and they wanted to evacuate the surrounding crowd with good intentions. Allow space and fresh air to the person suffering from the condition.

Of course, the effect was not very good. Some people didn't hear it, some people heard it and were unmoved at all, and some people wanted to get out of the way, but saw that the people around them didn't move. After thinking about it, just forget it. I can't do anything myself.

However, the impact is not significant because the patients themselves do not really need this kind of treatment.

Xia Ran stood up with the support of Her Royal Highness the Princess. She reached out and patted the non-existent dust on her body. Her expression was calm and composed. She didn't seem to care much about what just happened, and she didn't look embarrassed at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Penglai Shan Kaguya frowned and looked at the person in front of him.

It seems that nothing is wrong. There is no instability on the surface or in the aura. They all look so calm and calm.

"You just pulled me and I was seriously injured..." Xia Ran glanced at her, and then replied very casually, "Let me tell you, Your Highness, this matter does not count without two copies of Penglai Medicine. It’s over…”

"...You want to rape me?" Horaishan Kaguya narrowed her eyes, when did she drag him?

And this person is so fragile that he could be seriously injured after being pulled? Are you kidding me, just pull all the aircraft carriers of the people on the ground over and use full power. If you can pull him, it will mean that the technical ability of the people on the ground has caught up with the moon!

"What do you mean by blackmailing you, Your Highness Princess? You can't say nonsense..." the magician said dissatisfiedly, looking around to get entangled, "Everyone has witnessed it, don't you think so?"

He looked at the other two princesses.

Mitsutsu Toyohime still smiled, as gentle as autumn water, and her temperament made people feel very comfortable, just like the big sister next door, without saying anything.

However, Mitsuyuki Yiji reacted instantly. The purple-haired girl with a single ponytail nodded decisively, stood up as a witness, and said sternly: "Yes, I saw it!" Kaguya was in trouble, and she, as a witness Of course, my sister has to stand up and cause trouble for him.

Besides, this guy knew how to use Penglai medicine to hinder her plan. If this problem could be fundamentally solved and she could no longer use these things as bargaining chips, that would be the best.

"..."

"..."

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you..." After curling her lips, Horaishan Kaguya chose to ignore these two people. She waved her sleeves and walked straight forward. She didn't know what method was used to make the crowd separate directly. They themselves are still ignorant.

Although I don’t know what’s going on with this guy, maybe it’s because Yiji put forward some new conditions that greatly reduced his demand for Penglai Medicine?

But it doesn't matter, the princess didn't think she could always rely on this hand to defend them, and they would definitely find a way to deal with it. So she wasn't going to get entangled and simply left, obviously having other plans.

"What a bunch of rude people..."

The magician didn't care, he just had this idea and didn't want Her Highness the Princess to dwell on what had just happened. He looked around, then smacked his lips, and found that many people didn't even ask, so they took pictures of him just stumbling and falling.

How can this be done? This is dark history, and you just took pictures without asking. It’s so disrespectful... With this idea that only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps, you are a magician without any consciousness. Of course, a small skill was released.

After the fluctuations of spiritual power passed through the surroundings, the crowd quickly dispersed and selectively forgot about what had just happened. Even the photos or videos they had taken quickly or out of habit were deleted directly. .

They didn't think there was anything wrong, and they didn't know what was going on.

"What's wrong? Teacher, what happened?" After the crowd dispersed, Miss Ouyang and Dongfeng Gu Sanae finally turned back. Both of them looked a little confused. The commotion just happened too fast and ended too soon. It was too sudden, and they didn't even react.

"It's nothing, don't worry...just go and have fun and watch whatever you want."

Carelessly, Xia Ran confused what had just happened and coaxed the two doubtful girls away.

Miss Ouyang walked in front and looked back, looking a little uneasy. After doing this several times, she found that there seemed to be no problem, and then she was pulled forward by Miss Blue and White Witch with a little peace of mind. go.

Xia Ran looked around aimlessly from behind while slowly following the people in front.

"It's so strange, this feeling..." Feeling his current state, he couldn't help but sigh.

He exists in different time and space at the same time. Is this an extension of the absolute will? It is different from the previous experience obtained through the interference of the parallel world of the second magic, but a wonderful state that can no longer be defined by the narrow three-dimensional logic of the universe.

——But this experience seems incomplete and incomplete.

——At least it has not reached the realm of "one is the whole, and the whole is one".

He could feel that although he could extend his absolute will to all time and space and many worlds with the help of numerous possibilities and causal lines at the same time, the scale of existence was still a relatively limited number.

Moreover, the source of this state has not been completely anchored, which means that there may still be changes in the "future", leading to the loss of all this.

"What are you talking about?" Mianyue Yiji next to her asked doubtfully.

"Nothing." Xia Ran still answered like this. Of course, he would not talk about his current wonderful experience.

"Forget it, I have something to tell you..." Mitsuyuki Yoshie didn't care, but directly seized this opportunity when Kaguya would not show up to cause trouble, and quickly expressed what the two of them wanted to gain. The right to enter and exit Gensokyo freely.

The magician nodded absently as he listened.

Because his will is above the dimension, he is quietly overlooking the long river of time, looking at the universes that are sinking and floating in the long river, and his eyes are fixed on one of them. At this moment, he in this world is just a certain progressive state happening at the same time.

That is the forbidden world, and it is also the source of his strange state at this moment.

“The key point of ascension… where I will become whole.”

Whispering in a low voice, the future god laughed knowingly, but did not immediately look over.

Instead, he looked at the other light spots in the long river that were sinking and floating.

…

…

In the mountains and forests far away from the city, everything is in chaos.

There were large, thick trees that were cut down in the middle, and the trunks of some large trees were covered with marks that looked like they had been chopped with sharp weapons. In the clearings in the forest, there were still traces of fierce battles, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. , the ground was also covered with blood stains.

There are pools of blood formed by the accumulation of blood, and there are also broken limbs. Among them are human-shaped corpses, and alienated limbs that are twisted like alien shapes...

"Are you okay? How are you?"

Izumi Shinichi looked at the young man in the center of the battlefield with some uneasiness. His left hand showed the defensive posture of a parasitic beast. He did not let down his guard easily just because the matter in front of him seemed to be over.

"It couldn't be better!"

The young man in the center of the battlefield was all dyed red, but he gave him a thumbs up cheerfully and showed a dazzling smile.

…………

Black smoke curled up in the distance, and occasionally fire could still be seen coming from a corner of the city, but it was nothing compared to the chaos of the past.

The fire brought pungent and eye-searing smoke, mixed with the special smell of the burning material, such as gasoline, plastic, wood, or the smell of burning biological tissue of the human body...

Although the grand scenes of past civilization can still be seen, the city has not completely turned into ruins in a short period of time, but it is completely desolate and desolate after the end of the world.

The road was full of cars, crowded together or bumping into each other. Some were deformed due to violent collisions, and some looked like cans that had been opened roughly. The doors were crooked and twisted to the side. Inside the car and on the surrounding ground, Full of coagulated flesh and blood.

However, everything has stabilized, there is no longer the initial chaos, madness and hysteria, and the new order of doomsday has become a foregone conclusion.

"It's so nostalgic..."

Leaning on the railing of the rooftop, Xia Ran held her chin, looking at the desolate and quiet scene in front of her, and sighed softly.

"No matter how much we miss you, we can't go back to before. Everything is ruined..." An unhappy voice came from behind.

He looked back quietly and saw that a girl with pink hair and twin tails appeared at the door of the rooftop. When she saw him turning his head, she reluctantly said: "Don't be in a daze here, let's eat." …”

…………

"I am sincerely afraid to meet you, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows..."

In the gorgeous palace, the great knight girl from the southern European magic world saluted in the empty hall and looked at the queen sitting on the palace.

This is the seventh god-killer in the world today. He is both a king and a devil. He is as dazzling as a shooting star. He appears quickly and shines for a while. No one knows where he came from, but he defeated the magician in the west of Scotland. The God of Disobedience appeared in the Heblis Islands and became the seventh king.

It's just that... the area she rules is still too close to the southern European magic world. Today, the girl knight came with a mission, hoping to reach a peaceful consensus.

The queen above the palace was about to say something, but she suddenly frowned. This scene immediately shocked the heart of the high knight girl.

Could it be that this person has such a bad temper that even a respectful interview can make her unhappy?

But the next moment——

The god-killing queen looked beyond her and towards the entrance of the palace, her tone seemed a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
