"It failed. It failed again. Apart from adding some strength to me, it was of no use at all. And this so-called godhead is useless to me." Meruem looked at his hands with a frown. Just now he devoured the souls of Apsu and Mars, but unfortunately it did not help him understand Ninth Sense.

Except for adding some strength. Mars's War God godhead and Apsu's dark godhead, two things that seemed extremely precious to outsiders, were casually thrown away by Meruem to his subordinates.

"How can we reach Ninth Sense?" Meruem had a vague hunch in his heart. Although his power now surpasses all the gods in the heavens, he can even rival Kairos, the younger brother of the ancestor god, who is stronger than the entire Saint Seiya series.

But above the realm, if you have not reached Ninth Sense, once you really fight with the opponent. The outcome is likely to be only 50-50, or even at a disadvantage.

Therefore, whether it can reach Ninth Sense is a very important matter in Meruem's opinion.

You don't have to have the godhead, that kind of thing is just the icing on the cake for Meruem; you don't have to have the divine power, because the quality of your own "source" is a level higher than Cosmo; you don't have to have the divine clothes, because there are fierce clothes. But Ninth Sense must be reached.

"Host." While Meruem was secretly worried, the system that had not appeared for a long time made a voice again.

But Meruem ignored him. Didn't you see that I was in trouble? Are you sensible?

"Host." It was obvious that the system did not understand these things. Meruem ignored him but continued to say persistently.

"What's the matter?" Meruem replied helplessly.

"Ninth Sense, maybe I have a way."

"?! What?!"

"Yes, I discovered a wonderful world before. Among all other worlds, the Gaia consciousness belonging to the earth and the human consciousness collective Alaya are hostile. But only the two consciousnesses in that world can live in peace. That world is also the connection point of many different branch worlds. If the host wants to reach Ninth Sense, going to that world may be helpful."

"Why does it sound familiar?" Meruem unconsciously touched his chin. "But this world is not over for me yet. Can I pass through that world?"

"Yes, as long as the host's consciousness or soul passes. However, the host must consider one thing clearly. If only the consciousness passes, the host's power will be suppressed to a very low level. The specific power needs to be based on the magic power of the unique magician in that world after summoning the heroic spirit. The stronger the magic power, the stronger the power the host can display."

"Wait. It seems to be FATE?" Meruem suddenly thought of something after hearing what the system said. "But that world has nothing to do with Ninth Sense, right?"

"I'm sorry host, I can't answer your question. But according to calculations, if you can achieve a final victory called Holy Grail War, then you will have a great chance of reaching Ninth Sense."

"Well, what about this world? If I go to that world, will the time of this world be frozen?"

"I'm sorry host, no. So the host needs to consider it carefully."

"In the past one or two years, nothing major should happen. Hades Army from Hades is nothing to worry about. Chimera Monster Legion harassed the gods in the heavens. Ninth Sense and Ninth Sense did it."

"System, I want to go to that world!" Meruem said after settling everything in the Saint Seiya world.

"Remind the host again that in that world, the host's power may only be able to exert a part of its strength. And once it dies, it is really death."

"It doesn't matter. Although Type-Moon World is indeed a large world, in terms of self-protection, I am still somewhat sure."

"Okay, host, my arrangement is as you wish."

"Damn, damn why, I can't stop this from happening every time! Damn it!" In the dark basement, the surroundings could only be illuminated by the dim candlelight of the candle placed beside the table. What can be vaguely seen is a child of about seven or eight years old, holding an ancient book in his hands angrily. Due to excessive exertion, the fingertips were a little white, and the child murmured words that were completely inappropriate for his age. "Why, obviously I start from the beginning every time. But why do I always know that the damn old guy is going to do such a crazy thing, but still... Is it true that without the talent of a magician, I can only watch history repeat itself over and over again like a useless person?"

Tick-tock, tick-tock. Tears slid down the child's cheeks and pattered clearly on the ground. The child's face showed an expression that even adults could not imagine, numbness and despair.

"I just want to save Sakura. Even if it's just once."

The child was crying silently, and if it weren't for the twitching of his shoulders from time to time, others would even think that he had lost consciousness.

"I was a bastard, no, maybe I am now. But even so, I want to protect her smile."

"But I still failed without Magic Circuits in my body. I can only escape in embarrassment like a defeated dog every time. I don't want to, I really don't want to."

What seemed to be a strange pattern could be vaguely seen above the child's position.

This pattern is called Magic Circle. If a knowledgeable magician stands here, he will be able to recognize this Magic Circle. It is said that every sixty years, a heroic spirit Summoning Array called Holy Grail War is held in a place called Fuyuki City. As long as the caster is a magician, he can summon the heroic spirit through this Summoning Array when the Holy Grail is about to be opened. However, the premise is that the caster must be a person with magic talents.

Unfortunately, the child in front of me is not one of them.

"Why can even a mortal like Ryunosuke Uryu be able to summon Caster! But my eldest son, Matou, has a similar method. He has read all the ancient books of the Matou Family and still can't use even one magic trick! I am not willing to give up! I am not willing to give up! There is no time! That old bastard will kill Sakura tonight."

The child's body slammed into a bookshelf filled with magic books. Those ancient books that were highly sought after even in Clock Tower were like waste paper in the eyes of the child.

Snap, an ancient book made of strange material fell in front of the child. Although the cover is wrinkled, it feels extremely smooth to the touch.

This feeling is just like Shi Ren skin.

"Taboo of Flesh?" The child stared blankly at the big words on the paper.
