Chapter 339

Upon seeing this, Parvati couldn't help but shout Wrath.

But her roar was drowned out and vanished by a booming sound from a Mara.

The Demon King's arrow, released as a threat, pierced through Universe and exploded, enough to knock the Servant unconscious; however, Mara showed mercy.

"This is self-evident, a theory that no one can Overturning. Parvati, your father 'He' is in all things, so I also love 'all things.' This is the proof that 'He' exists in this world, and it is also my purpose."

"But Father isn't—"

"That's why you guys don't understand."

Mara.

That was almost like an answer, as if the Demon King, who possessed the scale of Beast of Humanity, had responded to all of Parvati's doubts with this reply.

"However, since you are indeed 'his' children, the Beast of Pleasure will devour everything with love, whether it be your hostility, your fighting spirit, or your fear."

"Ritsuka, get to work! Bring out all the search warrants that you and I have collected!"

Suddenly, Kisshouin shouted at Ritsuka Fujimaru. Although she didn't understand what was going on, Ritsuka obeyed and took out all of them, combining them with all of Kisshouin's Arrest Warrant. These were the Arrest Warrant for all the Tokugawa Shogunate shoguns.

"Fragment of the Right, you're so adorably naive."

Mara slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"While collecting key items during the game can affect the final ending, it's impossible to be that optimistic. After all, that would be both annoying and endearing. What good would it do to obtain search warrants for all the Tokugawa shoguns?"

If I truly felt it was a threat, wouldn't I have hidden it even more carefully? On the contrary, I very much hope you will discover that what you consider crucial is also part of my love."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Kisshouin -in frowned, not because she was upset, but because she was thinking, 'I finally got a chance to show off in front of Lady Novia, but I ended up like this. Without the Holy Scripture, my strength is not enough. I have to think of a way.'

"So, according to you, Jack's whereabouts were also intentional? Jack in 1893?"

"That's right."

Mara nodded.

"The origin of the destruction is undoubtedly Jack the Ripper, and the responsibility of the London 'system' is also very, very heavy. The Tokugawa shoguns themselves issued the search warrant for 'her' redemption and the Five Vows."

London is truly ugly. Inside and out, there are Monster prostitutes who sell their sex and use the money they earn to strangle the lives born from such acts, as if the world has ended, allowing all sorts of disasters and despair to flow in, accumulate, and be poured down like sludge.

But there's no need to worry about that now, because I love you all, I love everything in the world, I love all life.

"However, Mara, you're now the Commissioner of Scotland Yard, right? If that's the case, how can you close it with an innocent person under your name? Once people find out, do you think you can keep your position?"

Mara waved his hand dismissively at Kisshouin's question.

"Everyone in London has obeyed me. In this vicious City, my orders are of the highest priority. Besides, are any of the Tokugawa shoguns truly innocent? I doubt it, heh heh."

Then, all the Mara pulled back their bows with all their might.

"And Papiyas over there, are you silent because you're afraid? No matter, I'll make sure you, this Impostor, disappear completely."

"Novia!"

Ritsuka immediately understood the situation upon seeing it.

Mara intends to destroy the 'Papiyas' before him.

Having witnessed how a mere threatening shot nearly knocked Parvati unconscious, and the terrifying aura emanating from her, most people present would not consider this an absurd act.

"Ritsuka, take out the Cards."

Upon hearing Novia's words, Ritsuka immediately understood and pulled out her 'Card Walking Stick'.

... What the heck? It's clearly just Cards with a faint aura, why take it out?

Just as Mara was puzzled, she suddenly noticed a white light emanating from the unseen Novia. Then, a force she couldn't quite grasp began to devour her body—that is, the Universe itself.

"No, what are you doing to London? And what are you doing, London? I am your master! Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

In an instant, countless Kama transformed into a vortex of murderous intent, attacking from all directions.

The Demon King's burning Wrath, his penetrating Sorrow, carrying all of this—

"London, City of the Island of Britain, City that has returned in the glory of God, I visit you in the name of the Emperor; you shall hear my words."

Time in this Universe suddenly stood still.

But Novia continued speaking.

"Commissioner of Scotland, Kama, Acting Lord of Londinium, Acting Home Secretary, and the Royal Family hereby pronounce your judgment—"

"Beast, look, listen, feel! This is not the Universe, but the Police Officers station, which is supposed to be just."

Those without evidence should be released, and criminals should be punished. One should not frame another for the sake of another, even if both are guilty.

"Therefore, effective immediately, you are officially stripped of your position as Commissioner and sentenced to imprisonment."

London, the capital and largest city of the England, was founded by the Rome in 50 AD and was originally named Londinium.

During the Rome period, an uprising led by the local Britain would have occurred during Nero's reign, which would have resulted in the fall and burning of the city, followed by a second reconstruction. However, due to Novia, this uprising did not take place. Moreover, Lucius was the one who was in charge of building Londinium.

Therefore, in a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that the 'parents' of London are Novia.

But if even Constantinople can transform into spirits, perhaps other City can too.

In conclusion, even though Rome had been destroyed long ago in 1893, the remnants of London still exist, despite countless renovations, countless struggles and conflicts, and the passage of time.

Demon King, you were indeed my master in the present moment, and your love, though mad, was enough to make us, mired in evil, become addicted. However, that is no longer the case.

Mara heard these whispers, whether from his ear or his heart; perhaps this was the consciousness of the London 'system'.

Terribly sorry.

The instant those three words fell, petals drifted down from the Universe. It was clearly a fusion of flowers and air, but it was like iron clashing against iron, sparks flying and a sound like cheers that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Your will."

The cheers were so brief, and so swift.

And in that very instant, amidst the fog and countless intricate streets, London, which had been silent for so long, was illuminated by the dazzling aurora borealis.

It was neither an illusion created by Labyrinth, nor a realistic simulation.

Rather, it is the turmoil and frenzy that are etched into the Ancient City of London.

"... Hehe, impressive, impressive. I never thought London would abandon my love, but so what!"

After a brief moment of panic, Mara took a deep breath.

"It's true that being self-righteous is cute. But I really hate it. This kind of pointless effort is just too pathetic. It's like garbage; the situation just goes back to the way it was, without any improvement."

And to be honest, I don't need London anymore. Look, the Universe is still filled with us. Papiyas, you should join us too."

However, at this very moment...

Clang!

Suddenly, the world spoke, and tilted.

The Universe tilted dramatically, and the Mara that had previously stood between the Universe began to fall.

What exactly happened?

Before the Mara could even confirm it, it was as if the Universe, which had a surface, was suddenly pulled up, causing the Mara's heads to slam heavily onto the 'ground'.

As Mara, in his true form, stared blankly into the distance, the Universe —no, the entire Universe —began to collapse; in other words, Mara's body began to crumble.

It reveals the true London on the outside.

"You Papiyas, Mara, damn it, how disgusting! How could this happen? I am the Beast of Pleasure! How could you, without this power, have done this?!"

As if she understood and accepted everything, Mara was puzzled as to why her own Od was dissipating so quickly, which drove her to a state of utter turmoil.

"As Buddha's Enemy, shouldn't one at least have seen Buddha?"

Novia stood quietly, casually stretching out her hand. That hand floated smoothly across the Universe and the London landscape, and the moment it touched the Black Lotus, it filled the Universe with lotuses.

Blue flames shimmered around the Black Lotus, overflowing with an overwhelming and awe-inspiring power. It even gave Mara the illusion that if he stretched out his hand, it would be burned to ashes... just like the fire of Shiva in the past.

"However, I'm sorry, this is the last thing you have to do as the Demon King— "

Novia's sudden words pierced Kama's heart more sharply than Shiva's flames.

"Why?"

Mara's heart trembled unbearably from an inexplicable pain, wanting to pour out everything, but in the end, he could only utter a few scattered words.

"I just wanted to see 'him'."

The Demon King almost shed tears, but she gritted her teeth and held them back.

I don't want to cry over things that haven't been accomplished yet.

But in the next instant, a surge of intense emotion welled up in his throat, like a violent sob, and the emotion that surged up transformed into burning words.

"How dare you! How dare you! I am Kama! I am the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven! I am the real Papiyas! How could you, this Impostor, be..."

However, during this time, the radiance extending from the lotus that enveloped the Universe headed towards Mara, who was struggling to maintain his Od. Slowly, Mara disappeared from any part of this Singularity.

"We... we succeeded?"

Looking towards Novia, Ritsuka asked softly.

"No, it's still a little short."

Novia glanced back at Ritsuka and the others present. "Ritsuka, you should return to Chaldea first. I'll return to Chaldea after I've dealt with Kama."

Having said that, Novia disappeared from everyone's sight in the same way that Kama had disappeared before.

In a desolate mountain, there was a woman wandering aimlessly, her body wracked with pain, her throat parched, her hunger overwhelming, her heart filled with Sorrow, and above that Sorrow was a thousand times more intense hatred.

"It hurts so much. I'm clearly Papiyas, I'm the one with the Od, why...?"

Kama, utterly exhausted, gazed listlessly at the Twilight sky.

Despite her exhaustion, her feet continued to move forward naturally.

Where am I supposed to go now?

Although I survived by sheer luck, I probably have nowhere else to go.

I should have been rejected by London and blasted to the ends of the world by the power of that Papiyas, then sealed off and cut off from all contact with the world... but I was fortunate enough to be ejected into some small Singularity in the Human Order Incineration, and the location was in Japan.

But this was not good fortune, because Kama sensed that Beast's Spirit Origin would be exhausted within a few hours, and she would also disappear as a result.

Therefore, waiting to die is the best option now.

However, her feet seemed to have broken free from her will, and she walked forward involuntarily in the deserted mountains. After about several tens of minutes, Kama found a stone tablet in the empty mountains that read "Heaven of Freely Enjoying Others' Emanations".

In the Buddhism world, Heaven of Freely Enjoying Others' Emanations is the highest point of the Desire Realm, known as the Sixth Heaven. The ruler of it is Mara, Papiyas Demon King of the Sixth Heaven of Freely Enjoying Others' Emanations's Mara king, also known as Kama.

Of course, because of what happened earlier, it was almost entirely Papiyas who ruined his plans. Kama first stepped on the stone tablet, and then used his remaining Od to change the words on the stone tablet from Heaven of Freely Enjoying Others' Emanations' to 'Demon King of the Sixth Heaven', as if to mark his sovereignty.

"However, the people who used to be here believed it was indeed me, not that Impostor, right?"

This is a miracle.

Kama cried out in his heart.

In this moment, when I am being utterly denied and denounced like that Impostor Papiyas, and my existence is about to be erased, I actually come across the inscriptions left by people of the past who revered me. Ah, just thinking about this makes me laugh out loud. Although I have been denied by that Impostor, don't I still need people?

Although the area around the stone tablet is abandoned, the well and the stone foundation are still there, and that's enough!

Just as Kama had thought, she immediately burst into joyful laughter, though her voice no longer seemed human, it was truly filled with happiness.

"In that case, I'll establish a village right here!"

Thanks to the remaining Od on the stone tablet, Kama was finally able to maintain her existence. However, this was not a long-term solution, and as the Od power was depleted, she would eventually meet her end.

To this end, she devised the most suitable, yet most wicked and cruel, way to restore her Od: using her remaining Od to create clones that together built a village, luring lost travelers in and then devouring their souls.

After several years of hard work, Kama finally established her own village. To ensure a stable flow of visitors, she opened passages throughout Japan that could trigger spirit disappearances... Visitors gradually increased, although each time there was only one person, but this finally put Kama's plan on track.

The plan proceeded smoothly, and she successfully absorbed hundreds and thousands of souls.

In that increasingly prosperous village, the women's clothing gradually became more and more gorgeous.

An ordinary person seeing this would surely wonder if they had enough food without farming.

However, this question was soon Answer. The village would occasionally welcome a guest, and at these times the women would very rarely start cooking and boiling water to entertain the guest, making the man feel at home.

Later that night, while the male guest was fast asleep, the village women took up their Sickle, killed him, and ate him.
