Chapter 817

Ascending to the Divine Realm requires passing through four great heavenly barriers. One of them is the Light of the Soul, or as it is also called, the Light of Will, which was mentioned previously.

Without reaching such a level of strength, a human's ego simply cannot persist before the vast Sea of Concepts; it would perish within a few moments.

It would transform into a god that acts in obedience to the concepts it holds, devoid of intellect.

This is also the reason why most of the Old Ones in their world lack a self.

The problem is, this is a rather long process. Even if we don't count three or five days, one can at least persist for a few hours.

"Streamer, is it possible that these 'few hours' only apply to you, the A-rank Mage?"

A bullet comment in the live stream said gloomily.

The over a billion viewers who contributed billions of Divine Authority Jades to this scene also chimed in with complaints.

"Exactly, he's just an ordinary high school student, okay?"

"I remember this scepter was prepared for the streamer, right? In other words, this should have been the streamer's job to begin with."

"Murder, streamer, this is murder."

"No need to wait for the Apostles; he's done for right now."

"Oh my god, a magical girl of love and justice. Once she becomes an agent of concepts without intellect, everyone who isn't loving or just is finished."

Many of the old-timers sighed with emotion.

A magical girl born from human concepts.

The standards of love and justice, of course, come from universal human concepts.

That thing is just a slogan; it's meant for promotion and guidance, and very few people can actually live up to it completely.

In other words, it's quite possible that in the eyes of this newly born deity, except for a very few saints, the other tens of billions of people are all filth that should be eradicated.

Anything taken to the extreme becomes a horror.

"Damn, streamer, hurry up and think of a way."

Kitahara Iori felt a wave of despair.

Damn it.

What way could he possibly have?

That is a supreme magical craft created by Brother Luo Shu; what can he, a mere Third Rank mortal, do?

"Brother Luo Shu wouldn't give us a dead-end scenario; we must have overlooked something."

"Yeah, it wouldn't be a dead-end, because it was supposed to be prepared for the streamer."

"More than that, do you think Brother Luo Shu couldn't guess that the streamer is such a scumbag that he'd pull Shinji in to take the fall?"

When put that way, someone thought of something and frowned: "I remember that the EVA is also a living organism, right?"

"Not only a living organism, but also the remains of a god. Hmm? You mean..."

That old-timer said gloomily: "Is it possible that it was originally supposed to be Unit-01 holding the magic wand to transform?"

Kitahara Iori turned his head stiffly, looking at the huge purple machine in the shattered mountain, shocked.

Holy crap.

Can it even be done like that?!!

"There's no other way."

Kitahara Iori took a deep breath and raised his head: "It's all up to me now."

"Holy crap, streamer, you thought of a way?"

Kitahara Iori nodded slowly: "Only a god can face a god. Only if you become a magical girl can you wake up the magical girl Ikari Shinji."

Many people in the live stream gasped: "Hmm? Did the streamer save up 100,000 points to buy a transformation device?"

And didn't you say you'd rather die than turn into a girl?

"No."

Kitahara Iori opened the light screen to contact his best brother—no, now sister—his eyes revealing determination: "But Kouhei has one!"

Amidst the sky-piercing murderous intent, a whisper like that of an evil ghost rang out.

"Yo, Kitahara~~"

The blonde woman currently in the St. Freya principal's office leaned her head toward the camera, her pupils seemingly burning with flames.

"Yo, Kouhei, long time no see."

"The target codenamed 'Silver Witch' is suspected to be gradually losing her self. She will attack the city in eleven seconds, the Japanese Archipelago will sink into the Pacific in seven minutes, the Federation's mainland will cease to exist in half an hour, and humanity will be completely extinct in six hours."

United Nations conference room.

Following the broadcast of the mechanical voice.

On the light screen, one big shot after another fell into complete despair.

Even those who had connections with SEELE behind the scenes, or even participated in the Human Instrumentality Project, were the same.

They still had ways to deal with the Apostles, and could even use them as tools to achieve their goals.

But even in the end, their goal was just to become gods.

And now?

They are forced to face a god directly, a god who will destroy the world in six hours?

Despair.

Complete and utter despair.

The big shots couldn't think of a way to survive.

Facing such an existence, various modern black technologies far beyond the current era lost their meaning.

Even if you could escape Earth and go to space, can you run faster than such an existence?

Just then.

"Ultra-high energy reaction detected."

"Energy level is still rising continuously..."

Many dignified big shots had their expressions change drastically, their eyes showing terror, almost bursting into tears.

They lived high on the hog, living incredibly comfortably, and still relaxed on Lolita Island when they had nothing to do; they absolutely didn't want to die.

Just then.

"Wrong!!"

The Chief of Staff's horrified voice rang out, trembling in disbelief: "It's not the Silver Witch, it's a new magical girl!!!"

Above the sky of Tokyo-3.

Golden, resplendent light shot into the sky, stirring the clouds.

A woman with silver hair draped over her shoulders shot into the sky, holding a golden magic wand, heading toward Ikari Shinji in the firmament.

"Shinji, Big Brother is here to save you!!"

Seven minutes later.

The Japanese seaside, where the ground was covered in high-temperature molten lava and even the void had been burned crimson.

"Finally over."

Kitahara Iori held the unconscious Ikari Shinji, whom he had hammered into submission, snatched the Silver Scepter, and wiped his sweat.

Afterward, he looked around, finally looked at the surveillance satellite, took a deep breath, and announced: "The Chaldeas branch in this world is officially established, and we are recruiting enthusiastically."

"We welcome ambitious people to join; the benefits are excellent."

"Three days of work, two days off, 10 AM to 3 PM, paid in gold. In addition to statutory holidays, there are two months of paid leave every year, as well as various other benefits."

"Magic cultivation is also included..."

Everyone: "???"

A long time later.

They finally reacted to what he had said.

But it didn't matter, finally..........

"We're saved!!"

Watching the radiance spilling from the sky and the light source gradually dissipating in the deep sea, the people who had survived the catastrophe wept with joy.

It was too thrilling.

A world-ending crisis every half hour; it was so thrilling they almost went into shock. ===== CHAPTER 818 =====
