"Is this what they're doing now? It looks like they have a high chance of success."
Matou Pond has descended to its bottom using the Root-Style Descent technique, where the bottom is a smooth, mirror-like surface of the sea.
The view reflected on the sea is exactly what Ryougi Shiki sees in the real world through her eyes.
"I guess you mean there's no chance of success?" Genji said with a smile.
Matou Ike nodded.
In reality, even if the ritual of Beelzebub's incarnation were successfully prevented, it would only delay the time when He would successfully arrive in the world.
Because Matou Ike realized where Beelzebub's true battlefield was before he and Mijou Kirie were exchanged in the "Origin" ritual.
Therefore, he voluntarily allowed Medea to manipulate his body away from the area of the "Origin" ritual, so that the final step of the "Origin" ritual—
The "return to the body" could not be successfully carried out.
The advantage of doing this is that it divides the battlefield into two parts.
It could also prevent Beelzebub from descending directly into the world.
Moreover, Matouike had long suspected that Beelzebub might have successfully obtained what He wanted on a conscious level.
Perhaps it will be resurrected from his physical body, rather than from the body built of heroic spirits that continually inherits His divinity.
Because doing so would make us too conspicuous.
Matou Ike knows exactly how many kinds of Mystic Codes are hidden in this world that can harm gods.
Leaving aside the internal stockpiles of the Church, the things within the Sea of Wandering alone were enough to inflict a heavy blow on this deity during his new life.
From a rational and logical standpoint, inheriting his physical body and then using the foundation of that divinely inherited heroic spirit as a familiar would clearly be the optimal solution for Him.
In this way, even if Beelzebub had the means to reshape his body, it would be enough to keep him busy for a while.
In this way, Ryougi Shiki, Aozaki Touko, and Medea can take this opportunity to escape.
Of course, these are all things that happened later, but rather remedial measures that Matou Ike prepared in advance after anticipating his own failure.
He wasn't a selfless person, so he also wanted to survive.
Matou Ike looked at the shimmering, realistic surface of the sea and plunged into it.
Chapter 365 The Garden of Sinners 4k (Forty-Six)
Upon hearing the sudden alarm, the portly station chief rushed into the control room.
"Hey, hey, hey, what happened? What is this fancy red rotating light that I've never seen before?! Is there a fire in one of the kitchens?"
Standing to the side, Sion adjusted his glasses and replied calmly:
"No, no, it's just a global crisis, which means we will perish within hours."
"Oh, I see. Annihilation? That's quite an unexpected turn of events..." The fat director nodded in agreement, and then—
He roared in terror, "What?! What are you talking about?! Your Egyptian over-the-knee socks?!"
"I mean, because that newly observed Lostbelt seems to be collapsing, and its annihilation will sweep across the globe like a tsunami. The planet will reach the end of its lifespan, unable to withstand its own gravity, and collapse, that's all."
Unlike the fat director's panic, Sion answered calmly.
"Hey, doesn't that mean we're doomed? We can't even get into that Lost Zone now!"
"That's right, let alone interfering, we can't even observe what's inside it right now, so we might as well just wait to die!!"
On the other side of the chaos, young Leonardo da Vinci looked at the dejected Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked with some concern:
"Ritsuka, what's wrong? You seem a bit off?"
"I had a dream, and now I have a bit of a headache."
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little confused. He took the hot cocoa that Da Vinci had prepared for him and took a small sip.
"Did you dream about it too, senior...?"
Mashu walked in slowly, also looking exhausted.
......
"Hi, Yin and Yang."
Ok?
As Ryougi Shiki ascended into the air, she suddenly sensed something was amiss.
She seemed to be hallucinating...
It seemed to be Matou Ike calling her.
However, she didn't care. After suppressing her emotions, she rushed towards the magical vortex in front of her again.
Ryougi Shiki's figure streaked through the air like a shooting star, her Wanfu Biying Breaking Blade cutting through a silver arc of light, completely annihilating the persistent magical mayfly before her.
She looked around to make sure the threat had been eliminated, then quickly moved toward another, deeper vortex area.
However, just as she was about to leave, the voice rang out again.
"Hey, Ryougi, don't ignore my presence."
This time the sound was clearer, as if it were right next to me.
Ryougi Shiki paused slightly, her brows furrowing slightly, but she quickly shook her head dismissively: "A hallucination?"
She continued toward her goal, with no intention of getting distracted.
However, the voice seemed to be deliberately going against her, relentlessly persisting:
"Stop thinking about it, I'm in your head right now."
"Matou? Are you kidding me? Orange said I thought you weren't coming back, and why are you even in my head..."
Ryougi Shiki finally stopped, confirming that she was not hallucinating, but really heard Matou Ike's voice.
"Now is not the time to joke. I have used the Cave of Garan within you to graft my own consciousness into your body. This is the only way I can interfere with reality right now."
Matou Ike gave a brief explanation, and then continued:
"Beelzebub's consciousness is manifesting in my memory fragments, hunting me down. That's why He hasn't taken control of this divine body yet. But I estimate that it won't be long before He clears away the obstacles I've set up and catches up with me."
"You mean, He'll be back in reality soon? That's troublesome..."
Ryougi Shiki's expression was somewhat solemn.
Because their only failure lay in trying to dismantle the body used for divine intervention.
“That’s right, so we’re on a tight schedule right now. I need you to throw what you have in your hand into that vortex.”
What I'm holding?
When Ryougi Shiki heard Matou Ike say this, she subconsciously glanced at the object that had suddenly appeared in her hand.
It was a brand, a cross-shaped brand.
Something that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Is this all there is to it? If it's this thing, it does seem feasible..." Ryougi Shiki's eyes suddenly narrowed:
"No, that's not right. Matou, your consciousness is attached to this thing! Matou, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"Ha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. No wonder you have the ability to see through things..." Matou Ike chuckled. "But now it's not your choice, Ryougi..."
"Hmph, you're not thinking of using your old trick of forcibly controlling my body, are you? Have you forgotten that I have two personalities?" Ryougi Shiki sneered. "Ori, hold him off! Ori?"
"I haven't forgotten, but there's something you don't know: there's actually a third personality within you," Matou Ike said with a faint smile.
Subsequently, with the help of "Root Style", he forcibly seized control of the body from Ryougi Shiki.
Then they ran towards the deepest vortex.
......
At the foot of Mount Yuanzang.
The meeting place of two disheartened people.
In their original course, the two should have passed each other by.
But Matouike stopped Weber Velvet, who should have left dejectedly.
"Is there a problem?"
Weber hadn't recovered from his defeat at Iskandar, and he wasn't really interested in talking to Matou Ike at the moment.
Matou Ike simply shook his head, then took out what he had obtained from the main consciousness—
"Relics of El-Melloi II".
"Eat it."
Matou Ike said this.
Faced with the victor's overwhelming pressure, Weber had no choice but to comply.
In this process, the records belonging to "El-Melloi II" and the spirit origin that approached reality after being activated by "fantasy" were revived in Waver Velvet at this moment.
Matou Pond quietly awaits the end of this process.
“Logically, I shouldn’t help you…” said the resurrected El-Melloi II.
"But you still made the decision, didn't you?"
Matouchi answered slowly.
El-Melloi II remained silent; he had indeed made his decision after obtaining this "singularity."
No, after the truth of this "world".
"Is there any cigarette?"
"No, once we get there, I can 'imagine' one for you..."
After answering, Matou Ike found a relatively clean set of steps, sat down, and looked up at the starry sky.
"Should we wait a bit longer?"
