Roselle the lamb

That happened a few months ago.

At that time, Luther, who was to become the future "King of Blood", had only been at sea for a short time when he encountered the King of the Black Throne. Due to his extreme lack of security and because he felt that the origin of his split personality M was very abnormal, he suspected the other party time and time again.

Finally, perhaps to prove himself, or perhaps to gain trust, the latter directly pulled out his heart and handed it to Luther. The heart transformed into an abstract rose symbol, which was fixed to the skin of his wrist.

According to M, this heart is the core of her personality. Luther can Destruction it at any time if he wants. As a consequence, M's personality will be immediately annihilated.

So, is now the time to use it?

Luther watched M's figure from afar, observing the gesture she was making with difficulty. Even knowing that doing so would completely annihilate her personality, she did not hesitate to warn Luther.

But is she really trustworthy?

Could it be that she's already completely controlled by Adam, and this heart is just a trap that, once Destruction, will lead to her utter ruin?

However, from a motivational standpoint, Adam had no reason to create such a meaningless trap, since he already had a way to maintain stable control over himself... In other words, is this true?

Luther didn't have much time to think; the Tide surge was about to end, and he had to seize this opportunity.

In that brief moment, a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind.

Damn it, let's go for it!

Finally, Luther gritted his teeth, a fierce look appearing on his face, and simultaneously extended his finger—"Pfft!"

His slender, bony fingers successfully pierced his own wrist, completely Destruction the rose mark etched on his skin.

On the other side, M was quietly watching this scene.

"Snap!"

As if a piece of glass had been shattered, her body suddenly cracked open with countless fissures. The cracks multiplied and became denser, breaking into fragments from the edges and drifting away bit by bit.

M stared at Luther, then suddenly a slight smile appeared on her lips, revealing a stunningly beautiful one.

"Feel sorry."

Her smile was radiant, her eyes gentle, and she softly said to Luther, "It seems I can only accompany you this far."

As soon as she finished speaking, the red-haired, golden-eyed woman shattered into countless points of light, disappearing into the night wind.

The Avatar M is completely dead.

Adam remained silent; he had just tried to stop M's destruction. But the latter's choice was so resolute, leaving no room for maneuver, it completely and utterly annihilated all its Consciousness, leaving Adam no trace of it.

The King of Angel had no time to reflect, for His troubles were about to befall Him.

"Whoa!!"

A surging crimson Tide roared in, carrying towering waves, threatening to engulf His figure!

On the Giant's belly, where a single flower of blood had bloomed moments before, now his internal organs were pierced through. The crimson blood rapidly covered the area, blotting out the sky, as if it were about to swallow everything in the world.

"Go to hell!"

Luther's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in fury.

It wasn't until the moment M died that he suddenly Consciousness he didn't actually dislike that gentle, red-haired, golden-eyed woman as much as he thought... For a long time, she was the only one by his side.

But in order to fight Adam, he had to kill his other personality.

What else is there to say? Just die!

"Puff!"

After driving Adam away, he reached into his own bloodied chest and pulled out a uniquely shaped talisman. The talisman was rectangular in shape, resembling a dazzling diamond cut into countless facets, with layers of light and shadow overlapping and eventually leading into complex symbols in the void.

A gift from Klein (Mr. Fool), the "Yesterday Once More" charm made from Spirit Worm.

This talisman allows the user to borrow power from their past self!

Luther had already used similar items before. With the help of those items, he briefly restored the "Red Angel" evil spirit to a three-in-one Sequence 1 Angel, severely injuring "Abomination" Suah, [Greed] Ivanova, and others, with astonishing results.

But now that the "Red Angel" evil spirit has escaped, from whom can he borrow power?

The answer is yourself.

Luther gripped the talisman tightly, infusing it with his Spirituality, and then shouted in Jotun, "Yesterday!"

The rectangular diamond-like rune was instantly ignited by transparent flames and merged into the void.

At the same time, Luther's figure also began to grow taller and more imposing, exuding an aura of power.

"Brush!"

In the void behind him, an invisible force suddenly began to gather, gradually condensing into a phantom, dark, and heavy figure. The figure was only an outline, seemingly wearing a magnificent robe and sporting a beard. It appeared incomparably majestic, as if it were the embodiment of Order, Distortion all existence.

Roselle!

That's right, the person Luther borrowed from was his past self—more specifically, the self who, for a brief moment, Grazing the True God during the killing of George III!

"Ugh!"

The instant that Roselle's... projection? phantom? or whatever else you want to call it appeared, Luther felt his Spirituality pour out, being rapidly consumed like water being released from a dam.

Even though there had been a definite connection, summoning something that possessed a near- True God status still placed a great burden on His Spirituality.

This burden drained him quickly, causing his Spirituality to wither away. It's likely that before the latter can fully take shape, it will be completely drained!

Wait, something's not right!

Luther quickly looked down and saw that at the base of the Cross, Adam and Ouroboros, with their eyes closed, were standing together.

His Fate is being changed by the other person!

If this continues, he will die from Spirituality exhaustion!

"Snort!"

A cold glint flashed in Luther's eyes. Without hesitation, he drew another "Yesterday Once More" talisman from his chest and activated it, borrowing false Spirituality from his past self to fill his body.

But before he could continue channeling his Spirituality, the black curtain behind the Giant began to flutter once more.

A Degeneration and Filth influence spread out, covering "Roselle". The latter's body was quickly corrupted, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely Degeneration, his aura completely merging with the Giant's dark veil.

The strongest ally that Luther painstakingly summoned has turned into Lamb to the slaughter?

"Oh..."

Faced with this situation, Luther smiled contemptuously.

He raised one hand and pointed towards the Astral World above... no, the Astral World.

There, a strange land shrouded in shadows had appeared sometime earlier.

A figure sat enthroned on the kingdom's Throne, exuding a terrifying majesty as he surveyed everything around him.
