The Enemy of the Entire Universe

He now seemed like a detective eager to know the truth, wanting to find out the answer to everything from Daybit.

"So that's all... It seems you really are completely unaware of many things about Chaldea, Dr. Roman."

Upon hearing this, Daybit. Without keeping everyone in suspense, he raised his hand, ready to demonstrate, and began to reveal the truth to Dr. Roman.

"Well then... I have one more question, Dr. Roman."

However, before they began, Daybit asked him a question.

Dr. Roman: "What?"

Daybit asked seriously, "What do you think I am?"

"What? What are you? Aren't you human?"

Roman asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing the question.

"Is that so... do I really look that much like a human?"

Daybit shook his head. "Although I'd love to explain it to you properly, it's getting too boring to keep you in suspense. I think it's better for you to see for yourself than to explain with words."

As he said this, he raised his other hand, which was hanging down, and pointed it directly at a shadow in the room.

The next moment, accompanied by an unusual energy, the shadow behind Daybit began to surge, and then an extremely unusual magic emerged from it. Then, to Dr. Roman's astonishment, three dark and blurry figures appeared within it. Their appearance was indescribable, and their magic was incomprehensible. They looked nothing like life forms on this planet.

"What... this is?!"

Dr. Roman looked astonished upon seeing these things.

"Didn't the report say—you can't summon Servant?!"

"Yes, I can't summon Servant, but the reason isn't due to any physical condition, but something much deeper. And what I summon isn't something from Servant."

Daybit shook his head.

Seeing that he had summoned these things, Rovey also revealed the truth to Dr. Roman.

"They are not Servant, not familiars, and not even life forms in this universe. I have seen their records in the Law Book, in the study of celestial Magecraft. They are probably located 14 billion light-years away—at the Dark Star."

He looked at Daybit and said:

"As expected, being able to connect with something like this proves that you are indeed an outsider. Submitting to the Alien God is not your ultimate goal. You, like Kirschtaria, have your own objectives, don't you?"

After being pointed out by Rovey, Daybit nodded slightly and exclaimed in admiration:

"As expected of another high-dimensional observer, your existence is even more terrifying than Alien God. You easily recognized the true nature of what was behind me. In fact, my surrender was also due to their instigation. Do you understand now, Dr. Roman?"

"Alien visitors?"

Dr. Roman was quite taken aback by the amount of information he received upon Daybit's true identity, and was genuinely unable to process it.

He was already surprised enough that A-Team had a vampire True Ancestor like Yu Mei-ren hiding in their ranks, but now this alien visitor has appeared, and with Beryl's hidden werewolf blood, have they all really stopped being human?

Ignoring Dr. Roman's extremely conflicted expression, the Dark Star creature behind Daybit bowed to Rovey, as if seeking his opinion.

Rovey nodded slightly, allowing him to continue.

"Alright, that's enough about my business. Now listen carefully, Dr. Roman. You want to know the secret hidden within Chaldea, and... the hidden truth about me!"

Chapter 350 The Enemy of the Entire Universe

Thinking back on the past, it was a long time ago.

No, it shouldn't even be measured in time.

After all, those weren't truly my memories; they belonged to Daybit's real memories.

--

My father wasn't a traditional Magus; he was just a Magecraft researcher obsessed with the Sem race.

Although he had some knowledge of Magecraft, he had not truly embarked on the path of seeking its the Root. He simply carried out his beloved research day after day, leading a peaceful life, which could be considered smooth sailing.

Until one day, he stumbled upon a strange wooden ring in the wilderness where a meteorite had supposedly fallen.

Although the wooden ring appears ordinary in appearance and material, when viewed through the mystical lens, nothing can be seen inside, even though it is hollow. It is indeed a strange Angel Relic.

Out of curiosity, the father took it back to the research institute for study.

That year, the research institute established by his father had been in existence for twenty years, and one of his children had just turned ten.

One day, the father invited his child to the research institute, but this was neither a whim nor a result of his negligence.

Rather, it's a series of guidelines within this circle.

Despite his assessment, any research can demonstrate that this is simply a gift from God that will never change under any circumstances or at any time.

However, on this day, the mysterious ring known as the Angel Relic activated.

That day, I was in the research institute looking at that radiant ring.

My father explained to me the guidance the circle had given him, and he didn't know why he had brought me here. But he had a vague sense of foreboding, and after I entered, he told me to leave immediately.

However, it all seemed like it was destined.

It's too late to leave now.

In the blink of an eye, in about two seconds, everything was frozen in time.

An intense light enveloped the entire research institute.

In the fleeting moments of time, my father vanished from this world.

This disappearance is not the kind of disappearance that humans can explain, such as being missing or dying; it is a disappearance in the truest sense.

Names, experiences, and memories related to fathers have completely disappeared from people's minds and from the records of the entire world.

This scene was naturally also etched into the eyes of the boy who was also in the research lab.

I, Daybit, witnessed it all.

I simply didn't have time to react, or rather, I was unable to make any move, because the boy had also transformed into the same form as my father.

Everything has vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Only the two shadows reflected on the floor inside the research room proved that everything had happened.

And no matter what method they used, they could not eliminate those two shadows.

'They exist there, forever alive, and will live on until the end of the universe.'

'This is an existence from 13.8 billion light-years away, an existence beyond the comprehension and explanation of humankind, a product of Dark Star that reached the edge of the universe during the Big Bang.'

"This is what the Grandmaster of the Clock Tower, the Dean of the Academy, said."

And after that, he never let anyone set foot in that research room again.

Only...

"For some reason, even though time has been frozen, that boy still exists."

"And he is who I am now."

As Daybit spoke, he looked at Dr. Roman and began to tell his story.

"Aren't you a life form from Earth? Then what exactly are you now?"

Upon hearing this story, Dr. Roman shuddered, a vague sense of dread creeping over him.

However, even if Daybit had no reason to lie to him, and the other person was indeed acting strangely, as a doctor, he had seen Daybit's medical reports. No matter how you looked at it, he wasn't a monster. How could he...?

"I don't know, and even now I still don't understand what my true nature is."

Seeing Dr. Roman's confusion, Daybit shook his head and didn't say much, but continued his story, "Although that boy reappeared in the world and underwent repeated examinations under the headmaster's arrangement, and each report showed everything was normal, he was still an ordinary person, and it was all just an illusion, but—"

I can't think that way.

"Although my memories and personality remain the same as before, and I am identical to the original boy in every aspect, I am still very clear that I am a completely different being from that boy."

Daybit looked at Roman and Rovey and continued, "Similarly, because I possess that boy's entire personality and memories, I naturally inherited that beauty and my father's teachings, to be a good person, someone I can be proud of. Although the experience wasn't profound, it still influenced my entire life."

"It's like how humans want to do good deeds even without being taught; this instinct is like an insect's attraction to light. So I wanted to be that kind of person in place of the boy."

Dr. Roman: "..."

"Then, at the Clock Tower Dean's request, I spent eight years in the Department of Folklore. While studying, I also cooperated with the Dean and other staff in their examinations. During this time, I discovered a condition—I could only record events that occurred within five minutes each day. So, for me, a day became a period of events that lasted less than five minutes. This condition is known as the Shortest Day, and it originated and circulated within the Sem group; it is an ethereal and elusive phenomenon."

"Then Dr. Roman, as a doctor, do you know the reason for this situation?"

Daybit asked Roman.

"I have no idea."

Roman shook his head decisively.

He had known about Daybit's illness for a long time. He had given him all sorts of medicines and used special Magecraft to treat him when he was in Chaldea, but to no avail.

According to his diagnosis, the symptom did not originate from the brain or the soul; it was as if it appeared out of thin air.

For example, the sun rises and then sets, just like the perfectly natural cycle.

So naturally he didn't know what was going on.

After hearing all this, Rovey vaguely understood what Daybit meant.

He looked into Daybit's eyes and asked, "You mean, for Earth, five minutes on the planet you arrived on is equivalent to twenty-four hours on Earth, right?"

"Yes, as expected of you."

Daybit when she saw that someone could understand her situation on the first try.

"Is that so?"

Dr. Roman was somewhat surprised by this answer.

This possibility is indeed something that humans on Earth could hardly deduce.

Daybit then continued, "I've investigated the activation conditions of that Angel Relic. At the correct time, within a radius of twenty kilometers, the number of deaths per day is zero. This is what brought me to this planet and erased the true nature of my father's and the boy's relics."

"Marisbury Animusphere's Chaldea intentions were closely related to the Foreigner, so naturally he took notice of my affairs. It was only after that meeting that I learned about the true nature of Chaldea. It was also because of that meeting that I was able to understand what the mission I was given to travel 13.8 billion light-years from the edge of the universe to reach this planet was."

Daybit slowly raised his head to look at Roman, and recounted in detail what had happened between him and Marisbury Animusphere, the true nature of Chaldea that he had learned from them, and the purpose of everything he had done so far.

On the day the Clock Tower's Department of Folklore confirmed that Daybit possessed vision and abilities not belonging to this planet, Marisbury Animusphere approached Daybit and personally invited him to Chaldea.

On that day, Daybit also learned of the grand scheme of this Lord of Department of Astromancy.

Because of the limitations of Earth's technology and vision, humanity is currently unable to observe and capture the precise vision of the universe. Therefore, he needs Daybit's help to capture the precise vision of the universe within 13.8 billion light-years of Earth.

In exchange, Daybit also learned all of Marisbury Animusphere's plans from him.

That audacious plan, and the reason he chose so many outstanding Magus to establish Chaldea.

Even after learning the truth, Daybit couldn't help but think that Marisbury Animusphere was doing something incredibly crazy.

If they knew the truth, they would be hunted down to death by all life forms. And even if they managed to escape the hunt, they would be obliterated by the planet's Counter Force. Even the outstanding Magus of A-Team, apart from themselves and Kirschtaria, had no chance of survival.

At that moment, Daybit asked him the question that was nagging at him, "Was it worth it? Was it the right thing to do?"

Even when so many lives are sacrificed, and human morality is trampled on, Marisbury Animusphere's response to such matters is indifferent:

"It doesn't matter. It's precisely because this potential risk exists that we need to keep it from the Mage's Association and everyone else. You're involved, so you must be aware of it."

"Then, please remember, Daybit, once the Human Order Restoration begins, the Magus of A-Team will not be human Master, but Crypter."

This was Marisbury Animusphere Billy's advice to Daybit.

"--?!!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Roman, who was already feeling uneasy, finally broke down completely. At this moment, he realized just how huge a bomb was Chaldea, and what secret Marisbury Animusphere was hiding.

Similarly, many things can also be explained.

Why would Alien God possess Olga Marie's physical data and use her as a vessel?

The so-called Crypter, the Alien God, did not appear or descend by chance, but were guided or planned by someone, and that being was none other than Marisbury Animusphere.

In other words... it's quite possible that Human Order's greatest enemy isn't Goetia, but Chaldea itself?

The sheer volume of information overwhelmed Dr. Roman, causing him to almost lose his composure.

Upon seeing this, Daybit shook his head.

"Dr. Roman, whether it's you or that new Master, your biggest problem is naivety. You never considered whether you were being used."

"Everything you've done so far has been exactly as Marisbury Animusphere predicted. And you should understand the truth about Chaldeas by now, shouldn't you?"

He said earnestly, "Marisbury Animusphere's claim to safeguard Human Order when he founded Chaldea is indeed correct. But have you ever considered the price he had to pay to safeguard Human Order? Or rather, humanity simply cannot imagine a sacrifice more terrible than the destruction of Human Order."
