Nothingness Goes Even Better with Mazinger Z~ (Continued)
"Oh? Is this what it feels like to be enveloped by the All the World's Evils?"
"It's sticky and gooey; although it's called magic, it feels more like some kind of conceptual thing."
Even while enveloped in Black Mud, Mo Wang still had the leisure to nod and offer a comment.
"How dare you treat me so disrespectfully? Well then, you'll get a taste of my anger and hatred."
Angra Mainyu looked at Mo Wang, who remained motionless, and a look of madness gradually appeared on his face.
She had such Irisviel beautiful face, but she somehow managed to make it look like that of a crazy old woman.
It even had a strangely creepy feel to it.
Mo Wang, enveloped in Black Mud, soon felt his surroundings begin to turn black.
Immediately afterwards, murmurs began to echo in his ears.
[Mo Wang, save me! Aren't we friends?]
[Damn it! How did you, the most useless person in Chaldea, survive?! Why?!]
[Mo Wang, you clearly had the ability to save us! Why are you so indifferent! Are we all insignificant people?!]
In Mo Wang's vision, the surrounding Black Mud gradually transformed into a familiar shape.
Those figures were undoubtedly former Masters from Chaldea.
These people, who may have been Mo Wang's friends or even just met him once, began to emerge from the Black Mud, like demons from the Abyss, reaching out their arms to Mo Wang.
"Hmm, that's so cliché. Anything else?"
"To be honest, I don't feel like I'm very familiar with them."
Faced with the scene that the Black Mud presented to him, Mo Wang unmoved, and even said with a bit of boredom.
Black Mud was stunned for a few seconds after receiving such a comment from Mo Wang.
Then, these people, who were formed from Black Mud, turned back into Black Mud in the blink of an eye.
Under Mo Wang's watchful gaze, the Black Mud began to surge continuously. This time, the Black Mud transformed into the familiar relatives and friends of Chaldea.
Red A, the Shizuka, the Doggy, Joan of Arc, even Mashu, the doctor, the Director, and a certain unscrupulous merchant are among them...
Not only that, even the appearance of Chaldea in the Black Mud was shown to him exactly as it was.
A dilapidated place, and the world outside engulfed in flames.
It resembles a scene after the extinction of Human Order.
"Mo Wang, it's all because of you!"
The salvation of Human Order has failed completely! Goetia has killed all of humanity!
Why are you the only one who survived again? You jinx!
[Senior, didn't you say you were going to save us all?]
Mo Wang, Mo Wang those familiar faces, slowly rose from the ground, their faces frozen in agony.
And the same chilling voice still emanated from his mouth, along with words of curses directed at Mo Wang.
"Ha~ How boring!"
"So exactly, how did you manage to break down the defenses of Irisviel and Kiritsugu?"
Facing these familiar faces, Mo Wang appeared even more drowsy.
It was as if he felt no ripple of emotion at the death of his companion.
"Don't you ever feel despair?"
"Even in the face of such a scene, are you completely unmoved? Or are these people just an insignificant group of passersby to you?"
Seeing Mo Wang's reaction, Angra Mainyu was starting to lose her composure.
According to the Remembrance she read, Mo Wang shouldn't be such a heartless person.
On the contrary, he should care a lot about his companions.
But Angra Mainyu wonder if Mo Wang previous actions were all acting?
"Do you think that seeing my comrades die a horrible death is the most devastating thing for me?"
"You really underestimate me."
Seeing Angra Mainyu appear, Mo Wang slowly sighed.
"These guys' voices are like heavenly music to me."
"You'd never guess what I'm about to face."
Mo Wang spoke slowly at this moment.
"Fine, I'll show you what the real despair I'm about to face truly is."
At this moment, the world that was originally covered by Black Mud suddenly collapsed.
"What?!"
Angra Mainyu stared in disbelief at the scene before her.
This should be inside the Holy Grail, not inside it.
But why is the surrounding space in a state of collapse?
"Could this be Reality Marble?!"
Angra Mainyu then realized a possibility, and her expression suddenly changed drastically.
At that moment, Angra Mainyu suddenly felt the air around her begin to burn. In her vision, the entire mountainside was engulfed in raging black flames, and the ruins of Chaldea in the distance still stood.
This time, however, it was even more desolate. The corpses scattered everywhere were shocking. The endless corpses gave the impression that an entire world was buried here.
Angra Mainyu looked around in horror, then suddenly looked up and realized that there was no light in the sky except for a dark sun hanging there.
However, she soon cried out.
"That, that's not the sun! That's..."
Angra Mainyu was incoherent, because she discovered that the pitch-black Hollow above her head was devouring all the light around her, like a black hole. Angra Mainyu could only think of one word— Nihility.
Angra Mainyu's pupils contracted violently; she had never felt such pure terror. Those burning, pitch-black flames were no ordinary fire—they were devouring sound, devouring the Color, and even the "ground" beneath her feet was beginning to blur, as if existence itself was being denied.
"This... this is impossible..." Her voice trembled, "How could the human heart bear such..."
Mo Wang's figure appeared in front of her at some point, his back to the burning ruins. The hem of his uniform was Imaginary Wind, and even his image seemed to begin to appear illusory.
"Welcome to my daily routine." Mo Wang's voice was eerily calm. "Every minute, every second, I must prevent this 'endgame' from becoming a reality."
Just like the terrifying nightmare in Yomotsu's inner world.
Mo Wang the world within your heart is no less intense than the Yomotsu.
Corpses and such are child's play.
Especially the Void IX hanging in the sky, it seemed to want to drag Mo Wang directly into it.
Whenever Mo Wang falls asleep, the scene before his eyes will appear again and again.
"What on earth is there?!"
Angra Mainyu's eyes widened at this moment.
Within that sphere that should have been completely Nihility, she vaguely saw something making strange noises.
[■■■--]
Incomprehensible syllables exploded directly into the depths of her consciousness, and Angra Mainyu knelt on the ground, Black Mud oozing from her seven orifices. She was horrified to discover that her Spirit Origin was collapsing, and her body, which was the vessel for the All the World's Evils, was trembling with fear.
"Now you understand?" Mo Wang raised his hand to catch the ashes falling from the sky. The ashes pieced together countless distorted, pained faces in his palm. "What you call 'evil' is nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust in this the End scene."
Suddenly, the entire space began to tremble violently.
In that pitch-black Nihility, an arm slowly appeared.
"That's it!"
At that moment, Angra Mainyu felt an instinctive fear in her body of what had emerged from Nihility.
At that moment, she understood—it was Mazinger Z!
However, it's slightly Taiyi from the one Mo Wang drove before.
The originally jet-black metallic body began to swell like muscles.
Its ferocious appearance made it even more in line with the image of a demon.
When this special Mazinger Z fell from the sky, the surrounding ground began to crack out of thin air.
The pitch-black giant gripped Angra Mainyu's body tightly, and at the same time, a large amount of All the World's Evils began to flow into the body of the Mazinger Z before them.
"Let me go!"
Angra Mainyu tried in terror to break free from Mazinger Z's arm, but she seemed to have greatly underestimated Mazinger Z's power.
That terrifying power, seemingly emanating from Nihility, was relentlessly devouring the surrounding Black Mud.
In no time at all, the terrifying All the World's Evils had been completely devoured by Mazinger Z.
"Phew~"
At this moment, Mazinger Z suddenly exhaled a scorching wave of air.
After absorbing All the World's Evils, Mazinger Z's body began to become increasingly ferocious.
Especially the steel wings behind him, which now seemed to be vaguely turning into a ring.
"Alright, Mazinger Z, don't you dare swallow that body too!"
At this moment, Mo Wang patted Mazinger Z's steel body.
Mazinger Z seemed to understand Mo Wang's meaning, and after putting his Irisviel's body down, he immediately returned to calm.
"Phew~ It feels like it's evolved quite a bit again."
"It seems that choosing to throw you into the Void IX was indeed the right choice."
Mo Wang looked at the Archon's body that was gradually turning into zero and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Of course, it would be great if you could actually replace that big black ball."
"However, I feel like I'm overthinking it."
Looking at the desolate land before him, Mo Wang let out a deep sigh from the bottom of his heart.
This future, which he fears most, he truly hopes will never come to pass.
"Alright, you can go back to the Nihility and stay there. I'll come and get you next time."
"As for the Irisviel, what should we do?"
Looking at his Irisviel, who was now just an empty shell, Mo Wang began to ponder how to bring Irisviel back to life.
"Hmm, if we send a corpse back, Kiritsugu might really go crazy, right?"
"Wait a minute, something seems off about the surroundings?"
Mo Wang looked closely and realized that after the All the World's Evils began to disappear, his surroundings were starting to feel somewhat familiar.
"Wait a minute, isn't this where the Root is located?"
How did I get here?
Mo Wang a closer look and quickly recognized the place.
Clearly, this is the place where I last sought help from those two little lolis.
"Oh, I remember now, it seems the Greater Holy Grail in Fuyuki City is connected to the Root."
"So, I've come all the way to those two girls' hometown?"
"But where did they all go? We can't find a single one of them."
Mo Wang looked around curiously and found that not only was Alaya not there, but Gaia was also not there.
"That's strange."
Mo Wang vaguely sensed something was amiss. After carefully preserving his Irisviel's body, he looked around cautiously.
