"What's wrong?" Ritsuka Fujimaru asked.

Medea looked at Artemis, her eyes filled with astonishment. "Now she's essentially a mobile Yajna altar! Any living being that gets close will be passively involved in the creation ritual!"

As if confirming her words, Vedas verses automatically appeared on the Temple's metal walls. With each step Artemis took, crystalline pillars combining Greece column style and Hindu lingam symbolism grew from the ground. When she took her seventh step, the entire interior of the Temple was thrown into Klein Bottle- shaped quantum realm, becoming directly unobservable!

"Wait, what's going on?! What happened over there?" Leonardo da Vinci's phantom appeared in front of Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others, her mechanical arm operating rapidly. "Just now, Sheba detected an almost indeterminate Divine Core fluctuation, definitely an EX-level existence, and there was even energy comparable to the Big Bang that almost erupted!"

"Hmm..." Ritsuka Fujimaru gathered her thoughts, unsure how to explain, while Medea said, "It's nothing, it's just that Artemis suddenly leveled up and is having trouble controlling her power. She's locked herself in the Temple, so don't worry."

"Artemis has leveled up? What does that mean?!" Leonardo da Vinci da Vinci exclaimed immediately, shouting as he spoke, "Romani, go check on her!"

Romani is King Solomon, the King of Magecraft. Sending him to the scene is no problem. As for her, we still need to continue collecting observation data!

Romani arrived extremely quickly, almost running, and was still out of breath when he reached the door. Besides Romani, Olga Marie also arrived; as the director of Chaldea, she came to see what was going on.

"What exactly happened?" Marie asked.

Leonardo da Vinci observed the numbers and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, we might have a member with the powers of a creator god."

"The power of the creator god?"

"Based on the Greece moon goddess, but incorporating the power of the Indian supreme Shakti, she is the ultimate goddess who unites the powers of all goddesses, symbolizing the existence of the Root creative and destructive forces of the universe," Leonardo da Vinci said.

This statement stunned Olga Marie. She racked her brains but couldn't understand why a Greece moon goddess would be related to the Hindu pantheon, especially since this connection directly involved the supreme god of the Shakti Cult. According to this sect's theory, all Hindu gods, including male gods, are merely energy carriers of Shakti.

After suppressing these doubts, she looked inside the door, but found nothing. Olga Marie wondered, "What about her?"

"She must have entered a special realm that I can't understand," Medea said. "If I had to give an explanation, before she disappeared, she seemed to have entered a special the Infinite loop, perhaps even breaking through linear time."

At this point, Leonardo da Vinci offered an explanation. "Entering the quantum realm should be a process of creation, but unfortunately we cannot observe it. Unless she completes creation and stabilizes her power, she will not be able to come out in the short term."

Romani spread his hands. "It seems pointless for me to come."

Then, he looked to the side and said, "Just treat it as watching a show."

"Cough cough cough, her condition is fine, she's just trapped in a state of perfection, a two-way cycle of Kabbalah and Anti-Kabbalah, similar to Gnostic Pleroma..." A slightly weak voice suddenly came, and everyone turned around to see Mephistopheles, who had arrived there at some point.

"Are you alright?" Olga Marie asked.

Mephistopheles shook his head. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." As he spoke, he walked forward, about to enter the Temple. "Because of Shakti's three-phase power, the cycle of cosmic destruction and rebirth, its Projection in the three-dimensional universe is similar. If I had to use a scientific term, it would be called a structure like Klein Bottle."

"Be careful, she's currently creating and destroying worlds inside. Although you also possess Yin energy, she's currently undergoing an ascension, which is beyond your capabilities!" Medea warned as Mephistopheles prepared to enter.

"It's alright, I'm prepared." Mephistopheles smiled, and the Golden Book appeared in his hand. Instantly, endless lightning surged forth, flashing around him.

At this moment, he entered the realm of the omnipotent god, and the power of the great god Zeus flowed continuously around him!

But this was just the beginning. Endless lightning appeared in Mephistopheles's hands, roaring within the Temple and calling out to the void.

A response came from nothingness!

"Spatial fluctuations detected! This is Zeus's thunderous power! No, this is not the Zeus I know. This is—" Leonardo da Vinci shouted. At that moment, the void within the Temple tore open, and endless lightning surged forth, flowing towards the empty space under the guidance of Mephistopheles!

A rift appeared in the void, and the girl's arm emerged from it— Artemis's hand. She deliberately tore open the quantum veil, Moonlight Longbow transformed into a siphon tunnel that devoured the starry sky. "This is... Father's power..." She drew upon the void where there was no bowstring, transforming all the lightning that had traversed countless Phase into Creation Code. "I accept this gift."

The process of creation was accelerated, and the place of creation transformed into a cocoon, merging into Artemis's body. At this moment, her form finally stabilized, and her Divine Core also stabilized once again. Even though her power could not surpass the world at present, her Divine Core was now connected to the Creation Cocoon. As creation progressed, her Divine Core would undergo new changes.

But that's a matter for the future.

When all was calm, Artemis's hair still shimmered with the lingering radiance of the Trimurti. She reached out and gently embraced the somewhat weakened Mephistopheles, her eyes reflecting the twilight of the Twenty-Seven Worlds.

"Walking within the Infinite world that exists within a finite world, the entrance to the Infinite world lies within a finite world..." Mephistopheles's lips curled slightly. "You've turned that world cocoon into your own Phase, haven't you?"

Artemis smiled and gently pinched Mephistopheles's cheek. Morpheus was unable to resist, which gave her a strange sense of pleasure in teasing him. "You figured it out?"

"Hmm, I see. If you hadn't made it your own Phase and channeled your power into it, then with your rapid growth, your own concept would have caused the entire world to collapse. It might even have caused a new world to directly overwrite the old one. But your operation..." Mephistopheles showed an expression of admiration, "Perhaps there is a way to allow the Magic God to walk on the inner edge of the world without weakening itself."

"Magic God?"

"The Infinite existence beyond the Infinite worlds—but that's just a theory. You succeeded because of your uniqueness, relying on the Creation Egg to contain your own power, and then using it as Phase to cover the original world, preventing excessive interference... There's a problem here, which is that it requires the power of creation... Although Magic God can create and destroy worlds, they do so through their own knowledge, not the power of creation, unless they walk the corresponding path."

However, from the perspective of the Tree of Life system, this is not a problem now. As long as one continues to improve oneself, reaching that level is only a matter of time.

Chapter 221 Goetia's Worries

Chaldea is located in a rift in time. Although it is called a rift in time, it actually contains the sun and the moon, as if the entire solar system has entered a rift in time.

Olga Marie was taking a rare opportunity to relax and bask in the sun.

The floor-to-ceiling windows kept out the cold air from outside, allowing only the warm sunlight to shine through and onto her.

If Mephistopheles hadn't been constantly reciting True Magic theories beside her, she felt that sunbathing would have been even more enjoyable.

"Can't you let me rest for a bit?" Olga Marie couldn't help but turn her head and ask. She was so annoyed by this damn man that she wanted to rush up and bite him hard, preferably until his shoulder bled profusely.

"No, because you need to work during the day and sleep at night, so I can only teach you during the breaks between your work and meals during the day." Mephistopheles said, gently patting the other's head with his Grimoire. "Listen to me, absorb these True Magic theories well, they will be very useful in the future."

Olga Marie looked at him, puzzled. "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want me to master more theories so quickly?"

Mephistopheles smiled but didn't explain why.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Olga Marie did not press the matter further. This man always spoke his mind, and since he had not said anything now, she would not get an answer even if she asked again.

Olga Marie looked up at the sun again, letting its rays fall on her face and into her eyes.

Beside him, Mephistopheles was still reciting occult theories, specifically the theories of the Golden Dawn, which he was most familiar with.

This school of thought, which encompasses astrology, Kabbalah, and various other practices, continuously infiltrated Olga Marie's mind through Mephistopheles's chanting, as if these things had come to life and were choosing their own hosts.

Knowledge chases after people, not the other way around. Olga Marie suddenly thought of this sentence.

What seemed like absurd to her is now so true.

"By the way, where is Artemis?" Olga Marie asked. She hadn't wanted to ask, but she couldn't resist her curiosity. She really wanted to know where this woman, who was always glued to Mephistopheles like she was glued to him, had gone.

"Although she has stabilized her own state, she is still in the process of creating worlds, which means that her Divine Core is still steadily improving. Before she truly completes a full cycle of creation and destruction, she cannot guarantee that she can remain stable in a state that does not affect the real world."

"You mean, only by truly experiencing a complete creation and destruction can her Divine Core stabilize, and only then can she truly stay safely on Earth?"

"So smart, you understand immediately."

Seeing Mephistopheles's smiling face, Olga Marie's expression darkened even more. The way he said those words made it sound like he was praising a primary school student.

Knowing that Mephistopheles had spent most of the past few days resting in his bedroom, she swallowed back the sarcastic remarks she had intended to make. "How's your recovery going?"

"You've fully recovered and it won't affect the mission," Mephistopheles said with a smile, reassuring the worried girl.

His condition has indeed recovered, and the toxins have been completely cleared, since Artemis took away most of them. However, his body cannot be said to have returned to its original state. Although 8=3 and 9=2, and the supreme being of yin and yang are different in terms of path, they are actually equal in the Tree of Life.

The power of Shiva that Mephistopheles summoned before was not as strong as the power of Shakti that he summoned this time. In other words, the power of the Primordial Shakti summoned this time even forcibly included the power of Shiva, which belongs to the pinnacle of Hindu mythology. The difference between the two is too great, resulting in an excessively large amount of feminine power within Mephistopheles.

Therefore, although he appears to be male at this moment, his demeanor clearly reveals feminine characteristics.

From a distance, one might even have the illusion that what is being seen is a woman.

"Oh, right, I suddenly thought of something." Olga Marie suddenly raised her head, her eyes blinking, full of a mischievous smile. "I remember 8=3 is the supreme feminine, which also includes the concept of mother. So, can I understand that although you are male now, you actually have the ability to get pregnant?"

Mephistopheles froze for a moment. He hadn't expected the other person to ask such a question, and it hit his current weakness very precisely.

Seeing Mephistopheles freeze for a moment, Olga Marie laughed, a very happy laugh. She felt that the unhappiness she had felt these past few days because of Artemis's arrival had instantly vanished.

"So, you really can get pregnant!"

Mephistopheles forced a smile. In matters of the occult, getting a man pregnant wasn't entirely impossible, especially given the current explosive abundance of yin energy within him; the ability to conceive was certainly within him.

Unless, subsequently, the supreme yang energy is invoked again to balance the energy within the body.

Originally, there shouldn't have been such a problem. As long as one honestly improves oneself, takes steady steps, and doesn't summon higher-level power prematurely, then when one obtains the supreme yin power, that is, when one has already reached the 8=3 stage, one can naturally resist this situation.

However, in his pursuit of rapid advancement, acquiring knowledge ahead of time, and integrating the power of the Prima Materia with himself to adapt, it's quite normal for him to experience such side effects.

This is the price, and it's already very small, so small that it can be completely ignored!

After all, if one were to fully embrace Hinduism and reach the highest pinnacle, it wouldn't be as simple as acquiring feminine power; it would require the union of the female and male selves.

Thinking of this, Mephistopheles sighed inwardly.

As expected of the world of mysticism, it's wildly dancing on many people's sensitive spots. If I weren't True Magic but a novelist, I would definitely be torn to shreds by readers if I wrote this kind of content.

Fortunately, he was True Magic, a person who pursued the mysterious, so he didn't need to consider these things.

Isn't it just a combination of male and female bodies, resulting in a half-male, half-female appearance? If he had chosen the Hindu spiritual path in the past, he would have followed it without hesitation!

Moreover, he's currently following the Golden Dawn system, so he doesn't need to worry about these troublesome things, making him even more willing.

The Lion King silently gazed at the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad in her hand. She was becoming increasingly familiar with this weapon, and it seemed to be gaining more and more abilities.

That is the ability to write about the world!

Or rather, the power of creation!

She looked around at the world around her, at the location of this so-called Phase. Although it was not as large as the world she had originally lived in, it had expanded considerably in the past few days. In just a while, it might become as large as Earth.

The Lion King raised the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad and aimed it at the void. Countless runes began to swirl around the Holy Lance, faster and faster, transforming into a spiral-like structure.

Immediately afterwards, the Lion King hurled his spear.

The Holy Lance Rhongomyniad pierced the void and interacted with the surrounding void. The world, which was slowly expanding, suddenly expanded by a whole size in that instant!

Mountains rise, waters converge and become the sea, grass and trees sprout from the soil and become dense forests and grasslands, beasts run and birds fly, and the world suddenly becomes more vibrant.

The Lion King suddenly became curious: what story did Mephistopheles write based on his own experience? And why does she still possess this power?

Moreover, this development seems to be transforming the world into a unique world with a flat earth and a round heaven!

If this development continues, in the future, the area of this land will surpass that of Earth, and may even reach the size of the solar system!

Goetia was now in a terrible predicament. He found that His ability to interfere with the future had changed again, and His power to interfere had diminished, as if something was stripping away His interference.

Even though He had burned through Human History and gathered enough energy, and even if the Chaldea destroyed those Singularity, they could not change the fact that He had relied on the enormous energy to return to the beginning of the planet's birth, the future was still stripped away, as if some powerful being had completely altered time.

Goetia couldn't understand why this was happening. The sudden discovery that the Lion King was still alive was one thing, but why was there another unknown adversary this time?

Why couldn't His Future Sight see through that era?

Goetia drew upon that immense energy, and even a fraction of it, a mere ten-millionth, elevated his Future Sight to an incredibly terrifying level.

Then, He was stunned.

He witnessed the destruction and rebirth of the world! Like the Big Bang, time began to flow, followed by a final Tzimtzum, leaving the universe in chaotic stillness, ultimately forming an embryo, and then exploding again!

This is a world completely different from the Sea of Stars; there's no need to talk about the World Egg or the transformation of the Sea of Stars into the universe.

Because this is how the universe was born, and then the universe fell into destruction.

Within this force, He discovered a familiar figure: a silver-haired woman located at the center of the universe, yet appearing illusory. She was visible, but somehow felt unreal, like a Projection.

She doesn't exist anywhere in this universe; she must be outside of it.

"Artemis?!" Goetia exclaimed in surprise. She had never imagined that she would see the Greece moon goddess Artemis in her Future Sight.

The question remains: why is the other party appearing in my Future Sight? This moon goddess is nothing special. In the entire Greece pantheon, the only one who makes me feel pressured is Zeus, and Zeus at that, who has merged the powers of all the Greece gods. As for the mere moon goddess, I don't take her seriously at all.

But the figure that interfered with his future was none other than Artemis! How could this be?!

At that moment, the universe trembled, and endless scriptures appeared in the void. These scriptures emitted a faint golden light, constantly rotating, and transformed into lotus flowers.

Within these lotuses, a bow was born. The phantom of Artemis picked up the bow, drew back the non-existent bowstring, and gently pulled it.

An arrow shimmering with iridescent colors shot out from it, shattering the void with a single strike!

At that moment, the Future Sight collapsed. Goetia felt a sharp pain in his eyes and instinctively covered them. There were two huge holes in his eyes, from which blood was constantly flowing!

A single arrow pierced through time and space, wounding Him. Moreover, this wound could not even be healed by His own abilities. He could only slowly wait for the energy contained within it to dissipate. Only after it had completely dissipated could the wound truly heal.

"That's— the Creation Psalm, and those words, aren't they Ancient India languages? Artemis's arrow just now wasn't the power of the moon goddess; it was clearly mixed with the power of destruction, that kind of destructive power... Zeus's thunderbolt, no, it's more like the power close to Shiva's destructive fire."

Goetia's head throbbed even more. He was already frustrated because he couldn't see the future, and now that he could, he was even more agitated.

What's going on? Human History has been burned away, modern humans don't exist, faith is gone, so how can gods still exist? Shouldn't these things have all disappeared by now in the future?

But why are they all still here? It's one thing that the Lion King is still here, but now there's also a Greece moon goddess. What's even stranger is that this Greece moon goddess somehow uses power that includes the power of a Hindu god.

"What's going on? Why can Artemis of Greece suddenly use the power of the Hindu pantheon, and it seems she's using the power of the most powerful goddess?" Goetia grew increasingly anxious as she thought about it. Her plan, which she had initially thought was without any problems, was now causing her to hesitate.

With so many things happening in the future, is it still possible for me to succeed now?
