Chapter 167

Awakening once again from its Root, Fujimaru Kyoya's spirit controls humanity's Original Sin, the Original Sin that Zeus attracted by distorting time and space and bringing his light to the whole world.

Even if this era doesn't have a population of over seven billion, it's still a considerable amount of pressure for Fujimaru Kyoya.

Let's begin.

Taking advantage of the proximity of the Root, Fujimaru Kyoya quickly arrived outside the Great Source. At the same time, the White Dove spread its wings and carried Fujimaru Kyoya to the damaged area of Great Source.

"Let's begin the repair."

Even with only two-thirds of the First Magic, Fujimaru Kyoya and the White Dove were still working hard to repair the damage caused by the alien force.

Just as Fujimaru Kyoya touched the core area, a rainbow of colors appeared. It was a power that did not belong to Earth, like a weeping star.

The Tear Star is the symbol of the Harvest Star Vanguard.

This is the power of the Velber. Even considering the Great Source's self-repairing ability, half of the damage should have been recovered in ten thousand years. But it is precisely because of this power that the current situation has been caused.

So what's next...?

"First, there must be light."

As Fujimaru Kyoya spoke, a light that could illuminate everything appeared in this space, Fujimaru Kyoya tried to make some small "corrections" to the power of this Velber.

The Great Source was damaged, and the power of Velber remained on it; these are all "facts." If they were to be changed, then Chris's power would be needed.

A force arrived from afar, and as it merged with Fujimaru Kyoya's power was greatly enhanced.

Chris was supporting him from faraway Jerusalem. Although her absence prevented the Trinity from being completed, her strength was enough.

Such power still cannot change the "facts," but it can alter certain elements, weakening this power until it collapses in this era.

"Bang!"

Like shattered glass, the light before Fujimaru Kyoya's eyes exploded, and the power that shouldn't have shattered at this moment collapsed due to the erosion of "time".

This is the First Magic's ability to arbitrarily modify World Line.

Even if it's not perfect, it's still powerful enough.

"So, are you ready?"

The White Dove looked at Fujimaru Kyoya. Although they had removed Velber's power, there were still real challenges waiting for them.

"Can this 'damage' be repaired by human effort? Heaven knows how many years it would take."

"Yeah, God knows."

Even the White Dove didn't know how many years it would take to end everything once they entered, but time no longer mattered to them.

Even if it takes ten thousand years to repair it, Fujimaru Kyoya can return to the agreed time three days from now at any time.

With that thought in mind, the man and the pigeon entered the Great Source.

"See you next time. I will keep my promise and give you everything in this country."

Zeus did not forget his promise: whether it was Greece or Rome, they were all destined to exit the stage of history, and the era after them would be handed over to new people.

The Original Sin from heaven continued to flow into Fujimaru Kyoya's body, which frightened many people away from the execution ground. Those who remained to watch Fujimaru Kyoya suffer were the most devout believers.

"Three days."

Everyone murmured about this timeframe, hoping that if the Lord could come down from the Cross, everything could return to normal.

Lord, please do not leave me.

The 319th trace of the past, located at point 0, is 104/165% complete.

The three-day deadline was fast approaching. The "dark cloud" of Original Sin had dissipated, and the light on Fujimaru Kyoya's "corpse" had also disappeared.

He appeared to be just an ordinary corpse, yet no one dared to approach him for so many days. After all, those "miracles" were not fake, and the terrifying power that devoured the Original Sin was still vivid in their minds.

As for the news that Fujimaru Kyoya had promised to revive in three days, it did not spread; only his closest Disciples knew about it.

They are still waiting, waiting for him to return to this world.

Within the Great Source, time holds no meaning. With the power borrowed from afar by Chris Fujimaru Kyoya accelerated the restoration of the Great Source while weaving a web of Original Sin to seal off the true Ether within Great Source.

The White Dove had already merged into Fujimaru Kyoya's body, lending him all its power, and using the power of Magic, the Great Source was constantly repairing itself.

In this endless emptiness, in a place where nothing exists, even Fujimaru Kyoya didn't know how long his consciousness could last, but...

"Thankfully, you've always been by my side."

Fujimaru Kyoya felt the power that was constantly gathering from Chris, a power that contained Chris's expectations and visions, a voice waiting for him to come home.

As long as this anchor point remains, Fujimaru Kyoya can maintain his identity for a thousand, ten thousand, or even ten million years.

Little by little, little by little, little by little...

Small forces come together, and although we don't know when we'll be able to repair the Great Source, as long as we're not complacent, there will be a day when we succeed.

"Indeed, as long as you don't give up, you will succeed. It seems that after countless cycles, we have finally reached the truth this time."

Fujimaru Kyoya didn't speak, but his voice did echo here.

Then a white figure appeared, followed by another white figure in succession. They lent their power to Fujimaru Kyoya, and the Great Source, which had previously been indefinitely under repair, began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

These people are shadows left from the past, traces left by the former First Magus.

Those who failed in the past have preserved their strength, waiting for an opportunity, a proper opportunity, when they will appear.

The First Magus in the past was just a Magus, but as he bore the burden of Humanity's Original Sin, he gained Divinity. Furthermore, due to the development of the Church in later generations, he used Magic to achieve the unification of mythology.

He turned past legends into reality, replaced God's existence with his own concept, and ultimately became the new God.

But this God could not save the world, and in his despair, he left behind his emotions, along with these traces.

"Are you so sure I can turn this around?"

Fujimaru Kyoya questioned these shadows, clearly not believing he possessed such power, even now relying on the power of these traces.

"It doesn't matter. Even if we fail, it's just the beginning of the next cycle. If you can't end it all, the next cycle will begin, and then we can start over."

Despite their cold words, they possessed an unwavering will; even after countless failures, they could start over; even when their spirit could not sustain them, they could retain their emotions and continue.

As the Japanese philosopher Kenshi Yonezu once said, if you expect something, you will receive a strong response.

Even if you fail, there's no need to be afraid. If there's no way forward, then become a stepping stone for those who come after you.

It's almost the third day.

Judas huddled in a corner, his head in his hands. At this point, his condition didn't need his Disciples to ask; it was already obvious who had betrayed Fujimaru Kyoya.

"Judas, you little brat..."

Martha lifted Judas up in one swift motion. If Fujimaru Kyoya hadn't repeatedly warned her, she would have sent the Judas to Hell long ago.

"If you regret it so much, why did you do that?"

"I just feel that the glory of the Messiah belongs to our race. I just want to get rid of those other races. I really..."

Judas didn't know how to explain it, but in the end, it was indeed because of his betrayal that Fujimaru Kyoya suffered.

"Just for that reason?"

Although they had made a pact, Martha was now determined to break it herself. Her iron fist landed on Judas's face, but it wasn't enough; one punch after another followed.

She didn't want to accept that Fujimaru Kyoya's suffering was for such a ridiculous reason.

"Which is more important, the salvation of one race or the salvation of the whole world? Don't try to guess his thoughts with your own ideas, you brat."

Martha was one of the few people who anxiously approached Fujimaru Kyoya. Although she wasn't among the core Disciples, no one could deny her piety.

As for her actions at this moment, no one stopped her; in fact, it was considered a great kindness that no one kicked Judas while he was down.

"Martha, don't kill him, we made a promise..."

"Agreement my ass! It's almost the third day now. If that guy really keeps his promise, then let him come back to life and stop me."

Once the flames of anger are ignited, they are not easily extinguished.

If Martha is left unattended, she will truly die by iron fists just before dawn, but that doesn't matter to the Disciples.

Fujimaru Kyoya had only told them not to pursue the matter, but hadn't asked them to save Judas. Now that someone could eliminate him, then...

The appearance of a light interrupted their thoughts. Chris stared at the Cross in shock; she had sensed it immediately as well.

The Mana was deliberately interrupted, and there are only two possible outcomes: Fujimaru Kyoya dead, or he has already accomplished what he needed to do.

Blinded by rage, Martha failed to notice that she was still brandishing her iron fist, intent on killing Judas.

That's enough.

A hand grabbed her arm, and when she turned around, she saw Fujimaru Kyoya.

The person on the Cross has disappeared, but the marks on the hands and heart of the person before us are testaments to the holiness of the suffering.

I shouldn't be late, right?

Fujimaru Kyoya and spoke, but a faint light emanated from his body, making him seem anything but unaffected.

"Finally, I have a few words I'd like to say to you."

Yes, this is Fujimaru Kyoya's last.

Using the physical body as a medium to transfer Humanity's Original Sin is too much of a drain on it. The Miracle of resurrection will soon disappear, Fujimaru Kyoya have to make his final "will".

The final chapter of "The Three Hundred and Twenty Chapters" (105/165#)

Fujimaru Kyoya's body was missing. The believers who saw them leave naturally wouldn't tell the Rome whereabouts, and those who didn't believe it were almost paralyzed with fear.

Ever since Longinus pierced Fujimaru Kyoya's body with his spear, and the blood fell on his blind eye, causing Miracle that restored his sight, the soldiers began to panic.

They also began to believe that Fujimaru Kyoya was the Son of God, and the thought of killing a Son of God was such a sin that they could no longer think about it.

So by the time Fujimaru Kyoya resurrected, they had already escaped, let alone found his whereabouts.

"I hope you can establish Church and continue what I haven't finished."

In the cave, Fujimaru Kyoya spoke his last "wish," for his physical body could not last much longer.

Is there really no other way?

Martha watched as Fujimaru Kyoya was about to dissipate. In her eyes, Fujimaru Kyoya so omnipotent, he shouldn't just disappear like this...

"It's my fault, if it weren't for me."

Judas continued to blame himself, while Fujimaru Kyoya still chose to forgive him.

"Judas, it's not your fault. Even without you, I would have gone down this path."

Then Fujimaru Kyoya revealed the news of the decline of the Age of Gods and the impending extinction of humanity as beings of that Age of Gods. He also explained that he had already borne the Original Sin of the entire world and that they could survive even if the Age of Gods ended.

"The only pity is those remote islands. The Age of Gods there fades very slowly. In a few hundred years, the Original Sin will reappear on them, and then they will..."

Fujimaru Kyoya thought of Britain again. Even though he carried the Original Sin of an era, because the island was far from the mainland Age of Gods faded very slowly, a new Original Sin could be born in a few hundred years.

Those were people Fujimaru Kyoya couldn't save.

"You've already tried your best; no one can do better than you."

Chris hugged Fujimaru Kyoya from behind. She understood that this man always looked cold, but there was always a gentle heart within him.

"I'm sorry, I've been so sorry to you all this time."

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at Chris with a hint of apology. After spending these days together, a relationship that went beyond friendship had naturally developed between them.

At this moment, life was growing within Chris's body, the "cause" that would lead to Chris's future birth.

"It's fine."

"Finally, I hope you will uphold my teachings: only by gaining more and more support can you establish yourself on this land."

Even without Fujimaru Kyoya saying it, the Disciples understood that their race was simply not large enough to contend with the current mainstream; only by becoming the mainstream could they bring glory to the Church.

"The Rome god will complete the transfer of power before he departs; you must carry on this tradition well and await that moment."
