"Space transfer!"
As the incantation was activated, Araya Sōren's body vanished instantly.
"Did they escape?" Matou Ike looked at the disappearing figure before him, shook his head, and rejected the thought in his heart.
Once that magic is constructed, there's no escaping it.
The mystery has now been set on Araya Sōren, and Matou Ike doesn't believe that Araya Sōren is unaware of this.
As expected, Araya Sōren did not run away; Matou Ike sensed that he had appeared on the fourth floor of the Garan no Dō.
Immediately, the clone transformed into a flying insect and followed.
Araya Sōren slowly walked into a pattern resembling the trajectory of a planet, consisting of three overlapping slender rings, and then disappeared.
If Aozaki Touko were still here, she would definitely recognize that it was the "King Kong" barrier that she used as a smokescreen.
Matouchi, using her Deconstruction Mystic Eyes, also saw through the true nature of this barrier: protection, concealment, and isolation.
However, this alone cannot withstand the destructive impact from the sky, unless it is a real other world inside.
But Araya Sōren still chose to go there, which means that his key to victory lay inside.
Matou Ike was becoming curious about Araya Souren's methods.
Is it a Mystic Code comparable to a Noble Phantasm? Or is there equally extraordinary magic at work inside?
But all of this remains unknown.
The next moment, the entire Hall of Garan was enveloped in spots of light, and the ripples of the transparent ring unfolded layer by layer, emitting a shattering sound that could shatter eardrums.
A concentrated explosion of 18 billion starlight specks.
Each one possesses magical strength comparable to the Grand.
The magic flowed through the intricate, spiderweb-like gaps between the buildings.
Each starlight burst forth with light and sound that could pierce the eyes and ears, causing the space to tremble violently, and everything around it instantly disintegrated in this raging storm of magic.
The transparent ring vibrated, creating a powerful shockwave that pulverized surrounding objects into dust.
That area seemed to have fallen into a silent chaos, and violent magical power descended like divine punishment.
It seemed as if only pure white remained between heaven and earth.
The barrier erected by the "Vajra," which was the first to be attacked, based on the Buddhist concept of indestructibility, shattered in an instant.
The subsequent starlight spots surged forward like a tide.
The moment the barrier collapsed, Matou Ike finally saw Araya Souren's ultimate technique that he had been hiding until the very end.
It wasn't a formal outfit, nor was it magic; it was a person.
Ah, that makes sense now.
The barrier called "King Kong" was never intended as a smokescreen to deceive Orange.
Instead, there was an incredibly fragile creature there.
He is an extraordinary person who will die if he is unlucky enough to be hit by a magic arrow.
"The Book of False Gods"
Mysterious Mist and the Moon!
This is a huge joke, alas, the Master of Babel...
Suddenly, a string in Matou Ike's mind snapped.
He couldn't understand when he had overlooked this man.
The number of extraordinary individuals who appear in Guanbuzi City can be counted on one hand.
But if it's him, then everything makes sense.
This guy was never a magician and had absolutely no talent for magic.
He became the ruler within fifteen years.
Godoword Mayday, the Unified Speech Master, is the only magician who can recreate the mythological era and is closest to a true magician.
He has mastered the languages of all existing races and tribes, not only speaking them, but also understanding their origins, beliefs, principles, and even ideologies.
He had no language he did not speak, nor any race he did not know.
However, that was not the knowledge he learned while traveling to various countries. The Book of False Gods was merely the result of learning a language, which led him to understand the languages of all humankind.
He can make rocks or beasts understand him, but not just rocks or beasts, but the whole world!
This is what is called "the absolute of words," meaning that what he says will become the truth.
Just like the records in the Book of Genesis in the Bible.
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning. This was the first day.
The guy who called the Book of False Gods was actually the most powerful hypnotist in the world, someone who could communicate with everything.
Only that man in the modern world could extract and record the various past events that follow the laws of the world.
Words become law...
So when did I become influenced by him?
Thus, they forgot about this guy who might exist in Guanbuzi City.
If we could have considered him in advance, perhaps...
Matou Ike shook his head; this clone was already gradually dissipating amidst the concentrated explosion of starlight spots.
The consciousness that depended on this clone gradually began to return to the original body.
In his last moments, he heard the voice of the guy named Genmu Satsuki.
Those words, as grand and layered as a law, came from the mouth of the ruler.
"The mystery has vanished from this place!"
Chapter 255 Decision
God distinguished people by race, not by skin color or physique, but by something more easily understood and more fundamental—language.
That was the most astonishing barrier to humanity. God believed that without communication, people could not build such enormous structures as the Tower of Babylon.
However, humans still became the most abundant species on Earth and the most intelligent of all beings, even completely breaking down the barrier of language.
The language of mankind was disrupted by the gods. It was the time when mankind began to recognize the existence of the gods, which is the so-called mythological era.
In the mythological era, mysterious phenomena were not considered mysterious, but rather regarded as common sense.
In modern terms, it's a world of swords and magic! Mysterious phenomena that are impossible in modern times are not particularly difficult technologies in the mythological era.
The only remaining unifying language expert in modern times is capable of doing this.
The ability to evoke ancient mysteries solely through language is truly a bug among bugs.
Matouike was sitting on the rooftop of a building far from Garan no Doraemon, gazing at the scene there.
After Genmu Satsuki's voice rang out.
A clear and grand bell tolled throughout every corner of the Hall of the Sangharama.
when!
The tolling of the bell carried an indescribable, invisible torrent, traversing a long historical period, freezing everything and everyone present in a state of stillness.
The massive and terrifying torrent of information froze.
At that moment, Matou Ike felt as if the whole world had been stripped of its sense of existence in an instant, as if a mystery accumulated over a thousand years had been gently cut off by a sharp sword.
Xuanwu Gaoyue's voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it was as irresistible as a law, like the final judgment issued by a ruler, erasing the remaining mystery along with this space.
The explosions of starlight spots around Araya Sōren gradually subsided, and the magical storm in the air seemed to be swallowed up by an indescribable force, returning everything to nothingness.
The next second, the shattered world that appeared in Matouchi's Deconstruction Mystic Eyes slowly began to rotate.
The vast and complex torrent of information began to recede, following the trajectory it had previously pursued, and finally returned to the void, disappearing without a trace.
At this moment, a transparent door appears, and when the "door" is opened, the mysterious and weakened restrictions become ineffective.
The magical elements that had vanished from the air returned.
Matouchi watched the whole thing quietly, a tear of blood streaming down her face.
He had begun to understand why the teacher who unified the language was able to achieve such a miracle.
This is something that can only be accomplished through the authority to communicate with the world through language.
Authority is the tentacle of the root.
Is this a book of false gods, written by a mortal performing the deeds of gods?
I've truly learned my lesson.
As Matouchi's thoughts raced, she used her foresight technique to gaze upon the scene at Garan no Dormitory.
The man named Genmu Satsuki came into his view.
It's practically identical to Kurogiri Kanya.
Not only do they look very similar, but they even have the same aura.
No, it was precisely because the man was a few years older that he seemed to blend into the atmosphere more naturally.
A faint smile appeared on the man's face.
It was a gentle, childlike smile, but it lacked color, revealing only an empty inner emotion.
The gaze slowly shifted from Genmu Satsuki to Araya Sōren.
His body trembled slightly, his clothes were torn and covered in scorch marks, and the air around him was still filled with the aftershocks of the explosion.
Although it was expected, Matou Ike was still not satisfied with the current situation.
Staring at the head beside Araya Souren that had somehow broken free from the iron cage's seal, Matou Ike had a bold idea.
"Do you want to do it?"
