He's not the type of person who excels in speed.

Goetia's body grew fainter and fainter, his face became indistinct, leaving only a blurry outline.

The Authority of the gate allows him to quickly approach Goetia, but the opportunity is only once; after that, it won't be so easy once he's prepared.

Killing Goetia now would allow him to resurrect, so destroying the Temple of Time wouldn't be of much use.

He needs a powerful attack to destroy the Temple of Time in one fell swoop.

The three demon kings could slowly destroy everything, but there wasn't enough time.

Using Tohka Yatogami's angel to sever the time travel portal should work, but it wouldn't prevent Goetia from reactivating his Noble Phantasm.

However, if we use the Michael... that seems feasible?

Higashino Makoto took a deep breath.

He immersed his consciousness into his body, mobilizing the ten angels. Light surged from the depths of his soul, intertwining with the Void Demon King.

The Tree of Life expands.

The rules of the small world covered the temple, and the light bands began to slow down the moment they came into contact with the rules of the small world, as if they were being held back by something.

Their speed slowed down, so slow that Higashino Makoto could clearly see the trajectory of each light band.

He traversed space and arrived before Goetia.

The outline of Goetia is still fading; time travel has not yet fully begun.

Higashino Makoto raised his hand.

The Michael condensed in his palm, transforming into a golden key.

"Seal up."

The key was inserted into Goetia's chest, causing his body to shudder violently.

The fading outline became clear again, and his figure reappeared before Higashino Makoto.

Golden eyes stared at him.

"You..."

You can't escape now.

Higashino Makoto gripped the key and turned it.

Liu'er's Angel is so useful!

Goetia's body stiffened.

Higashino Makoto's attack left him temporarily powerless, in which case he would rather die immediately, since he could be resurrected right away.

That's exactly what he did; guided by the Demon God Pillars, the band of light in the sky fell towards his location.

"How could I possibly let you succeed!"

Since we already knew about his abilities, how could we not be wary of this move!

Do you really think I can't do anything with you?

One's own little world can directly devour space!

The reason we didn't act before was because his Noble Phantasm was too powerful, and we were worried that if we acted rashly, the small world would be destroyed.

But now that Goetia has been temporarily sealed away, how many light bands can the remaining Demon God Pillars control?

I refuse to believe I can break through my own Degradation Aura and the defenses of the Void Demon King!

A small world unfolds--

"Swallow it!"

The small world suddenly expanded, like a giant mouth that bit down on the entire Temple of Time.

The small world continued to expand, and cracks spread throughout the temple, devouring everything.

Those Demon God Pillars, those bands of light, those stone pillars, domes, and floors were all swallowed up into that space with a diameter of over 17,000 kilometers.

The Temple of Time, starting from the edge, disappeared piece by piece, like a cookie being gnawed on.

Higashino Makoto stood in the void, watching the last fragment be swallowed up by the small world.

Goetia's pupils contracted; things had taken an unexpected turn.

His Noble Phantasm was interrupted, Temple of Time was moved to another dimension.

The light band and the Temple of Time are located in different spaces, and since his power is being sealed, he can no longer control them.

Almost instantly, he found himself at a complete disadvantage.

"You--"

Before he could finish speaking, Higashino Makoto appeared in front of him, placing his hand on his chest.

The power of the Michael surged from his palm, transforming into countless fine chains that bound his body, further reinforcing the seal on his Noble Phantasm.

"Seal up."

Goetia's body stiffened.

His body was paralyzed; only his eyes could still move.

His pupils were fixed on Higashino Makoto, his calm face reflected in them, his heart filled with resentment.

His millennia-long plan was completely shattered by the arrival of an outsider.

Higashino Makoto withdrew his hand.

"Alright, now you just stay here quietly. Once I've dealt with your temple, you can die."

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Goetia, whose power had been sealed away and who was no longer a threat.

He rose into the air and began to deal with matters concerning the Temple of Time.

Whether it's Solomon's remains or the seventy-two Demon God Pillars, they all possess a great deal of mystery; it would be a waste to simply erase them.

After thinking it over, he decided to completely shatter it and then rebuild it, and after killing Goetia, place it in the world of "The Crown".

He acted swiftly, and before long, he had destroyed the Temple of Time.

He approached Goetia, raised his hand, and the "Void" of the Void Demon King condensed in his palm, transforming into a black dagger.

He gripped the hilt of the knife and plunged it into Goetia's chest.

Light surged from the blade like a punctured balloon, and Goetia's body disintegrated in the light. Starting from her chest, cracks spread in all directions, like fissures on ice.

His body turned into countless golden fragments, which scattered on the ground and gradually dissipated into the air.

But Higashino Makoto didn't stop.

The uncontrolled light bands in space, however, are an excellent source of energy.

Without hesitation, he took it back into his small world and integrated it into the "Hourai".

After gaining energy, the Hourai became even more powerful in his "Judgment," possessing a strong offensive Authority not only against life but also against matter.

Furthermore, it can be used as an energy source, offering numerous benefits.

"Although it was a bit troublesome, the results were indeed quite good."

Higashino Makoto was in a good mood.

Each time he became stronger, it brought him joy.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes.

It's over.

He turned around and returned to Chaldea.

I saw someone standing behind me.

A long red and white robe, white hair, and golden eyes.

Solomon.

Or, to put it another way, Rome Archiman.

He stood there, looking at Higashino Makoto, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Thank you, Higashino."

Higashino Makoto looked at him.

"You're welcome. By the way, did you eat that cake? If not, remember to eat it, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Rome paused for a moment.

Then he laughed.

"Okay, I understand."

Then he turned around and flew towards Chaldea.

Chaldea.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood in front of the screen in the control room, watching Leonardo da Vinci process the fluctuating data.

Mash Kyrielight stood beside her, her hand resting on her shield.

Rome's seat was empty, reportedly because he was too tired and was watching Meili's live stream from the lounge.

Hmm, I wonder if he'll go crazy after he finds out it was Merlin in disguise.

Higashino Makoto walked in, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and happily pounced on him.

"Mr. Higashino, has Goetia been resolved?"

"Yes, it's been resolved."

"That's great! Finally, I can take a break!"

Higashino Makoto didn't respond, nor did he say anything like, "Because of the many disasters that Human Order, it's still too early for you to rest."

He turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor.

"Utaha, let's go, there's still a lot to do."

Utaha followed behind him.

"Do what?"

What are you doing?

Of course, we'll wait until the Human Order Bleaching before going to the Lostbelt have some fun.

It's just trash that nobody Human Order anyway, so it's okay for me to pick it up, right?

"Waiting for the next phase of Human Order Bleaching, going to Scandinavia, to Greece, to Britain, to collect some interesting things."

"For example?"

"The blueprints for the Valkyries, the design plans for Valhalla, the control core for the Machine Gods, and those fairies."

Utaha lowered her head, remembering the two mascots in the guild.

"Are the fairies the same as the two you collected?"

"No, the fairies of the Britain Lostbelt aren't exactly cute. They're creatures that follow their own desires completely, with no sense of good or evil, no empathy, and you'd be lucky to kill them all without accidentally killing anyone. But they're quite good-looking, and I'd like to collect some."

Utaha looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

"You..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, wait for me tonight."

She quickened her pace, walked to his side, and walked alongside him.
