Otherwise, you can find another savior.

“Please speak,” Kirshtalia replied, preparing her magic.

"Why deny our history? You are also a part of the pan-human history, yet you so resolutely rebel against the world that gave you birth. It really makes me curious." Shiomi looked at Kirshtalia. "Although I don't know your experience, it is still surprising that you hate the world you were born into so much."

Kirshtalia thought for a moment: "It has nothing to do with my experience; it's just a conclusion I've drawn. Humanity has made far too many mistakes. Regardless of the era, the civilization, the heroes, or the nation, we have never once chosen the 'correct answer.'"

"So you've come to the conclusion that humans lack the ability to choose the 'correct answer,' and intend to correct this error?" tide Jian understood.

“That’s right. The alien god is the same in this respect. The alien god does not condone mistakes. The alien god is a god who only pursues the ‘correct answer.’ I might as well reveal here that the alien god will descend in a few days. Before such an important matter, don’t you think I should deal with the big problem at hand first?”

Shiomi didn't have much to say about Kirshtalia's answer.

Of course, the same applies to Kirshtalia.

While Shiomi was talking to him, Skadi had already left the cabin and come to the deck, standing right behind Shiomi.

“This isn’t a one-on-one contest. When Kirshtalia makes her move, neither the goddess nor Hinako Akuta will be idle,” Shiomi whispered to Skadi. “I’ll trouble you to hold Demeter back, Skadi.”

“That suits me perfectly,” Skadi nodded.

She had already spotted Demeter floating near Kirshtalia.

Skadi, the goddess of ice and snow, is a worthy opponent to the earth goddess.

"Are the negotiations over?" Kirshtalia was clearly very patient.

“Of course, I’ve kept you waiting.” Shiomi held the gun in one hand. “During the combat training at Chaldea, you always stopped short of revealing your full strength. Let me, who has fought against countless heroes and even the King of Magic, judge your magical skills!”

His voice suddenly rose, and the battle of the announcers resumed. Kirshtalia's expression hardened, and she activated her magic without hesitation.

"The influence of celebrities."

Behind the aurora in the sky, countless stars lit up at his words, and beams of magic from the sky poured down like a torrential rain.

However, after a round of attacks, Storm Border was unharmed, and his attack was blocked by Skadi.

The Queen of the Norse Lostbelts, the goddess of magic who wields primordial runes.

Kirshtalia was not surprised by this.

Her opponent was Demeter.

Where is Shiomi now, who is no longer on the deck?

Listening to the wind whispering in his ears, Kirshtalia slowly raised his head and saw Shiomi flying to a higher position than him.

The gems embedded in the wand shimmered, and in accordance with his unleashed, incantation-free spells, they attacked Shiomi's location in a dense barrage.

However, these powerful magical attacks were swiftly cut off by the gun in Shiomi's hand.

The winds and clouds changed color in that instant. tide Jian pointed her gun at the sky, and thunderclouds instantly gathered, covering the curtain of aurora. Lightning bolts raced through the clouds before falling.

"I see. It's not just a Noble Phantasm, but also a Mystic Code... and the highest level at that."

As Kirshtalia faced Shiomi's thunder, she made her own assessment.

Where are you looking?!

Amidst the explosions and thick smoke of the magical clash between the two sides, Shiomi streaked across the sky like a meteor, crashing straight into Kirshtalia.

The sky suddenly exploded, and the gale spread in all directions.

"You talk about magic duels, but the teacher really likes hand-to-hand combat," Kirshtalia teased.

"We're too far away to drag you in."

Shiomi did not exert herself to fight Kirshtalia with strength in an attempt to break through his defensive barrier.

"what?"

Kirshtalia's magician instincts immediately told him that something was wrong.

"Too late. Reality Marble deployed, 'Eternally Frozen Orkney'."

A flash of light, and Kirshtalia and Shiomi disappeared from the sky over the area.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Magic Battle

In the midst of the raging wind and snow, Kirshtalia remained as steady as a mountain, still floating in the air, seemingly unaffected by the severe weather and unaffected by losing control of his floating state.

"A Reality Marble... Just like when the teacher criticized me, didn't you also fail to show your full strength?" Kirshtalia commented. "You've even completed such a powerful forbidden spell. The Clock Tower's rank will be proud of you."

"That title doesn't matter. You'll die if you keep wasting time talking nonsense here."

Shiomi raised her hand, aimed it at Kirshtalia from afar, and gripped it tightly as if she were holding a puppet.

The earth shook violently, and from the wind and snow, two towering ice dragons roared out, their claws slashing down at Kirshtalia.

But Kirshtalia is by no means the type to underestimate or be careless.

Shiomi's deployment of his Reality Marble meant that his opponent in the Magic Battle was far beyond his original expectations.

All the conclusions drawn from the combat training at Chaldea have been rendered invalid.

Like Shiomi, Kirshtalia could only reassess Shiomi's strength in this battle.

Therefore, he went all out from the very beginning.

The dragons that tried to attack him were bombarded by magical cannons from all directions. Each strike was incredibly powerful, comparable to a Noble Phantasm. Kirshtalia's magical power seemed inexhaustible, lavishly unleashing its attacks.

Shiomi watched from afar as he grappled with the two dragons, analyzing Kilshtalia's fighting style based on the current situation.

Aside from the initial defensive block, he focused on attacking the rest of the time, clearly demonstrating absolute confidence in his offensive magic and his ability to use offense as defense.

Soon, the dragon's pincer attack found an opening, and its massive body became a huge target, with every blow from Kirshtalia landing squarely on the dragon's body.

With more leeway, Kirshtalia began to use magic to attack Shiomi in the distance, forcing him to leave the snowfield and fly into the sky to meet the attack.

With a mere wave of his hand, Shiojian caused the wind and snow to instantly change direction, revealing their fangs and transforming into a sharp, all-encompassing net that encircled Kirshtalia.

“I have never heard of your magical attributes, teacher. I only know that you have extremely exquisite rune magic.” Kirshtalia put on a defensive stance and commented, “It must not be ordinary rune at all, but the original rune whose very foundation has been lost.”

Shiomi attacked Kirshtalia with alternating attacks of fierce winds and thunder, but the young man remained calm and methodical in his response.

Even the most elite modern magicians could not achieve such ease.

The answer is obvious.

"It seems you've already brought your magic system back to the Age of Gods in this Lostbelt."

As Shiojian spoke, the snow caught in the wind suddenly changed, turning into countless sharp ice spikes. Kirshtalia was caught off guard, and the ice began to spread rapidly after her cloak was only slightly touched.

“That was the original plan,” Kirshtalia said calmly.

The white cloak trembled with his movements, the spreading freeze quickly stopped, and then peeled off like an eggshell, leaving no trace of damage.

Gale, thunder, frost—different magics intertwined as Shiomi, like a shop window exhibitor, unleashed her magic without restraint, enveloping Kirshtalia.

Kirshtalia, at the center of this vortex, cautiously engaged in both offense and defense, daring not to underestimate its enemy in the slightest.

The magical battle, which had lasted for an unknown period of time, gradually came to a halt, signaled by the collapse of the Frost Dragon.

The bodies made of solid ice shattered and collapsed, falling one after another and turning into two icebergs.

The two landed on the iceberg one after the other and looked at each other.

"This is the first time I've dragged someone into a bounded field and been unable to do anything about it," Shiomi remarked with praise.

Of course, this is because he has only used it against a few specific opponents so far.

If it were a duel against Morgan and her master, the inherent barrier would still not be able to deliver a decisive blow.

—This is how Shio deduced it.

"That's not true. Shiomi-sensei's attacks are swift and decisive. If I had relaxed even slightly, I would have been defeated," Kirshtalia said modestly.

They chatted amicably, as if they were simply exchanging magic tricks.

“After all, I’m not a pure enough magician.” Shiomi stroked Gungnir, her eyes filled with a sharp killing intent. “Using magic alone is still somewhat unsatisfactory.”

Kirshtalia sensed the danger and knew she couldn't let Shiomi unleash her Noble Phantasm here.

Therefore, he must seize this opportunity to catch his breath and launch a counterattack.

The fact that Shiomi could perform so many grand magic spells within the barrier without hindrance is undoubtedly a blessing bestowed by the inherent barrier.

However, activating a Reality Marble requires a vast amount of magical power, and maintaining it also requires magical power.

Kirshtalia clearly captured the moment when this forbidden spell, which was eroding the real world, reached its limit.

"Stars, Cosmos, Gods, Animus, Hollow, Void, Anima, Animusphere——"

The young man raised his hand and slowly recited a certain incantation.

Shiomi involuntarily closed one eye, sensing that the stability of the inherent barrier was being challenged.

As expected of the "genius" that the Clock Tower believes can change the world, Kirshtalia clearly grasped the weakest point in the Reality Marble and launched a counterattack.

This world truly cannot confine the young people before us.

The sky within the Realm of Nature gradually transformed into a sky covered by the aurora borealis, with Kirshtalia suspended beneath it, and above it, countless bright stars.

Standing on the sea, Shiomi saw this change.

The starry sky, the magic bullets of starlight, are descending.

That is a magic system that transforms celestial bodies into its own "circuit" and "power".

Kirshtalia's reason for entering Chaldea was to complete a true celestial magic.

Part of that unrealizable theory has already come to Shiomi's attention.

The most profound magic of astrology, passed down from the Chaldeans, the progenitors of astrology, to the modern era, is the ultimate magic that draws power from the universe.

It brings together the magic of the earth, the magic of the sky, and the magic of the universe above the sky, creating a stellar miracle that is like connecting planets.

That is, planetary bombardment.

At this moment, both sides engaged in naval combat looked up at the sky, and even at the universe.

The sky had darkened, and one could see the stars, linked together by a mysterious spell at this moment through the will of Kilshtalia.

tide Jian dropped the gun in his hand, not because he was giving up, but because he was preparing to launch a counterattack.

"Interfering with celestial bodies within the Milky Way and using them as my own magic circuits—it seems some theories really do require their creators to implement them. But that doesn't mean I'll just sit here and wait to die."

He crossed his arms in front of him, clenched his fists, and his heterochromatic star eyes shone brightly.

"The universe is yours, but the planets will belong to me."

Chapter 40 "Mother Earth's Dinner" (Nammu Duranki)

The sky was wailing, the earth was trembling, and the ocean was roaring.

Kirshtalia Wodim's magic is of that level.

Whether it's a goddess in battle, a hidden being or a servant trying to ambush someone while dodging an attack, or the Storm Border of Chaldea.

Everyone stopped and watched this scene.

It wasn't just because of surprise, but also because of a deep-seated respect that shouldn't be held for the enemy.

The ultimate magic theory, completed by a young magician who rivals gods with a mortal body, has become a reality at this moment.

"Chaldea was able to resolve the Burning of Humanity, and Shiomi-sensei's role was indispensable. Even if I don't know all the details, the magic battle just now was enough for me to understand how important it is to defeat you here. This is not a one-on-one battle, but a war. Whether you are a Servant or an ally, please seek my assistance."

Kirshtalia made a confident yet indifferent declaration to Shiomi.

He looked down at Shiomi, who stood unwaveringly on the turbulent sea. The man's arms were crossed, and the magical energy and aura emanating from him reminded Kilshtalia of someone.

That was his ally in this Lostbelt, the chief god of Olympus, the great god Zeus.

“There’s no need for that,” Shiomi said softly. “It’s not that I don’t trust my companions, it’s just that it would be too much to ask everyone for help with a problem of this magnitude.”

“Is that so?” Kirshtalia replied knowingly.

The staff that guides the celestial bodies is raised to the sky once more.

There is nowhere left to escape from this ocean, this world.

However, for Shiomi, there was no need to escape.

Beneath our feet lies the ocean, and beneath the ocean lies the earth.

He is standing on this planet, one of the life forms born from it, and at this moment, it is time to give it his all.

"Seven malevolent winds tore through chaos, a chaotic rain of blood ripped through the heavens and earth. The trajectories of the stars were ordained by the gods, but the fate of humankind must be determined by themselves. From now on, humanity will follow this arduous journey to reach the stars. Therefore, great Mother of Creation, our mother, Tiamat, bear witness—!"

As Shiomi spoke, the earth seemed to become a single entity, rejecting Kirshtalia.
