Chapter 367

"So, you have a heart that desires to become evil?" Shasein Kiara, dressed in a nun's habit yet breathtakingly beautiful, revealed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

As the Beast of Lust, Shasein Kiara naturally saw through Ashiya Doman's irrepressible inner nature at a single glance.

Truly, he is foolishly cute. Does this silly yokai not know that every Beast of Humanity must have a painful past?

Moreover, the essence of a Beast of Humanity is the result of human love pushed to its extreme; they are beasts who commit evil because of love. It is love, not scum.

This guy? At most, he can only become human scum~~

【

After Ashiya Doman left, Kirschtaria turned his gaze toward the Chaldea group. He was very surprised that Chaldea had actually defeated Zeus, and without a single sacrifice.

... Without a single sacrifice? Recalling Musashi, the Progenitor, and the others, the fury in Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart erupted, nearly impossible to suppress.

But now was not the time for anger. The Fantasy Tree behind Kirschtaria had now accumulated magic power to a truly terrifying degree!

Perhaps in the next moment, the Alien God would leap out from within it!

"The Fantasy Tree behind you is dangerous. Please let us cut it down as soon as possible," Holmes said anxiously.

"Hmm, that is reasonable," Kirschtaria nodded. He then said softly, "But it is a little too late. My Fantasy Tree is already complete."

Kirschtaria looked at the panicked Chaldea group and reminded them, "The only ones who can make it wither are the Great God Zeus, who is connected to the Fantasy Tree, and I, who have obtained the rights to use it. In other words..."

"To cut down the Fantasy Tree, we must defeat you!" Fujimaru Ritsuka said decisively.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka so resolute, a smile finally appeared on Kirschtaria's face. He praised, "Have you finally shown me your true selves?"

"You were not serious during the battle in Atlantis. At least, this is different from what I heard about you: no matter how powerful the opponent, you never give up, swallowing despair and then standing up resolutely."

"Not eliminating fear, not forgetting to grope for a way forward, not abandoning hope, and not doubting yourselves. Carrying the future of humanity, fighting to the end—such a Master still exists."

"... Ah, my heart is truly surging. You have finally matched my impression of you." Kirschtaria's expression and words became increasingly gentle, yet what he said made them even more silent.

"Indeed, just as David said, you are the greatest enemy I must face right now."

Chaldea group: "....?"

Listening to Kirschtaria's praise, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not know how to respond. She could hear that Kirschtaria was not mocking them, but...

In any case, they had to fight a battle first!

And the Captain did not use his previous power. His smile was somewhat terrifying. "Begin, Caenis. This is the final battle between humans!"

】

Across the Myriad Worlds

Countless viewers immediately wore the expression of an old man looking at a subway phone. Kirschtaria wasn't mocking them?

It didn't matter, because this was better than mockery.

At the very beginning, when he pushed Chaldea into a desperate situation, even with a lackluster Grand Archer Orion, Kirschtaria had nearly wiped out Chaldea with a single Planetary Strike.

If it hadn't been for the final intervention of the King of Men, Goetia, it would likely have ended back then.

And now, Kirschtaria says Chaldea is actually very strong and has great perseverance?

Why does it feel like a very nasty insult?

Moreover, looking at the intense battle in the screen, everyone couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

If Kirschtaria didn't use his full strength, it seemed difficult for either side to determine a winner in a short time, right?

Furthermore, until now, everyone still hadn't figured out what Kirschtaria's goal actually was. Based on his previous conversation with Zeus...

They already knew that Kirschtaria did not trust the Alien God, but now... the Alien God was about to descend, right?

【

"Hey! Kirschtaria, are you still reluctant to use that move? Use it quickly!" Caenis looked at the troublesome Chaldea and shouted.

"Hmm? Which one?" Kirschtaria feigned confusion. "Hmm, which one is that? Could it be the one I showed you by the coast..."

Caenis's vision went black, and she was incredibly ashamed and angry. It wasn't about taking off clothes; it was the Planetary Strike!!!

At this moment, the magic power inside the Fantasy Tree began to rise rapidly again. The Fantasy Tree was like an eternal lighthouse leading to the starry sky, and a brilliant beam of magic power pierced through heaven and earth!

And something began to descend from the sky—

"The descent of the Alien God?! But it's more than that... what exactly is going on with that sky?" Holmes's expression changed drastically, and he frowned, suspicious and uncertain.

The Fantasy Tree was the place for the Alien God's descent, but was this not too terrifying?!

It was not the night sky, not the universe, and not the super-dimension where Chaos existed!

Visibly to the naked eye, a body resembling a giant began to emerge from within the Fantasy Tree; magic power transformed into flesh and blood, and the terrifying aura present during its gestation was enough to make one suffocate.

This was not just the magic power of this Lostbelt, but also the True Ether from the atmosphere—the magic power accumulated within this Fantasy Tree over tens of thousands of years was all gathered here at this moment!

It is unimaginable what kind of horror will be born once it appears!

"Mmm-hmm! That is the true divine jade body!", Ashiya Douman appeared once again, loudly praising Kirschtaria.

He had originally thought Kirschtaria had betrayed the Alien God, but now it seemed he had misunderstood! Hahahahahaha!

"... Once the Fantasy Tree is fully cultivated and its void is filled, the Alien God will descend, and the Alien God, having no physical form on this Earth, will manifest using the Fantasy Tree as a vessel," Kirschtaria said indifferently.

That's right, everything is over; even if Chaldea were to defeat Kirschtaria right now, it would be of no use!

"We will defeat you right now!", Fujimaru Ritsuka said angrily.

But what they got in return was Ashiya Douman's mockery.

"Let me, in my most excited state, be your opponent here—!", Ashiya Douman's expression twisted, and he began to laugh maniacally.

But the next moment—

"However, the place where the Alien God should descend is not here," Kirschtaria's voice came through.

Ashiya Douman's back, which had been turned, stiffened; he turned around rigidly, his eyes filled with stupidity and bewilderment. What... is this person saying?

The one living inside the Fantasy Tree must be a god... Huh?!!

"What is this?! This ominous divinity?!", Ashiya Douman twisted hideously, "There is already a god inside?! There should be a limit to illegal squatting! Who is this god?!"

Caenis, standing to the side, smiled. That's right, from the very beginning, Kirschtaria never intended to let the Alien God descend.

The one he truly summoned was the Greek Titan Atlas! That's right, this was all part of Kirschtaria's plan!

Ashiya Douman, like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously cursed Kirschtaria as a villain who broke his contract!

But Kirschtaria retorted indifferently, "Following the contract, I successfully cultivated the Fantasy Tree, but there was no agreement on what to do with the inside of the Fantasy Tree, was there?"

】

【Ashiya Douman: "Villain! Kirschtaria, it is a waste that you are the most outstanding human genius! To think you would actually do such a thing?!"】

【Alien God: "Humans... are too sinister."】

【Sakata Gintoki: "Hey, you're panicked! This is the hospitality of us Earthlings! Did you say thank you, you bastards who tried to invade Earth!"】

【Blue Hair: "Hahaha, just a slip of the tongue."】

【Mine: "Then what exactly is Kirschtaria's goal? Not summoning the Alien God, but instead summoning a god from Pan-Human History? But in the end, isn't it still the age of gods? Isn't that the same as Zeus? Could it be that Kirschtaria wants to flip the script and become the master himself?"】

【Kadoc: "No... he is not that kind of person."】

【Beryl: "Yeah, our captain looks very upright, doesn't he~"】

Fate World

Beryl's expression was strange, puzzled and filled with disgust.

He did not know what Kirschtaria's goal was, but he knew that he would definitely not agree with that plan.

Across the Myriad Worlds

Many viewers were not unfamiliar with the name Atlas; in legend, Atlas is the Titan who holds up the sky in Greek mythology, a member of the Titans.

He was punished by Zeus to support the heavens with his shoulders; in mythology, he carries the meaning of a pillar.

The... pillar of the world?

Across the Myriad Worlds, everyone had vague guesses, but quickly denied them; after all, that kind of thinking was simply too crazy.

【

Ashiya Douman barked like a mad dog, but Kirschtaria remained incredibly calm. This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but one made from the moment he was blown up by Lev and saved by the Alien God.........

From beginning to end, Kirschtaria never submitted to the Alien God; he was merely engaging in an equal transaction with it.

Because...

"I believed in the possibilities of humanity's future, which is why I walked this far. Although, due to the Alien God's awakening, my body has become incompatible with Pan-Human History..."

"However, I will not subvert Human Order for the sake of the Alien God." He is saving humanity in his own way!

Ashiya Douman cursed him as a traitor and rushed forward, intending to tear Kirschtaria apart with his bare hands, but since he never submitted, how could there be betrayal!

"Fool! Your opponent is me!", Caenis blocked Kirschtaria's path, pointing her long spear forward, saying fiercely.

Kirschtaria gazed at the shining Fantasy Tree and slowly revealed his plan.

He would not allow the Alien God to dominate the Earth, but he would also never submit to Pan-Human History; just as he said, until now, Pan-Human History has been wrong!

What he loves is not Human Order, but... humans!
