The distorted rift continued to twist and struggle; this was the most violently struggling creature Izparut had ever seen since being sealed away.

But the Kingdom of God is no more.

Izparut: "How do you feel now?"

"It was alright, like having a long dream."

The sky's expression was no longer as gloomy as before.

Instead, he appeared somewhat relaxed, and a sense of composure could be seen on his face.

"Thanks, I'll tell you the whole story now."

The darkness had not yet dissipated.

But there are already signs that the Kingdom of God is dissipating.

Cang Qiong also felt that he was gradually regaining control of this divine kingdom.

The power that Naraku granted was still within himself.

Immediately afterwards, Cang Qiong organized his experiences.

Through a mental exchange, the whole story was explained to Izparut.

It didn't take long for Izparut to finish listening to Lu Cang's description.

The whole incident didn't take very long.

It was only a matter of a few days, but I condensed it all into my mind and finished explaining it in a very short time.

"so……"

"The experience you described is indeed peculiar, meaning you really do come from the future..."

"Having gone through reincarnation and been tricked by the true god... he was eventually saved by Naraku and, under His guidance, came here."

"Moreover, in your description, this place doesn't even exist."

Upon hearing Lu Cang's description, Izparut felt a slight stirring in his heart.

My future self became a true god.

But here, I am merely a projection.

It's a really subtle feeling.

After listening to Lu Cang's entire description, it was only slightly surprised, but it did not feel any frustration or wavering.

"Yes, I already know what happened."

“But since it was Naraku, whom you mentioned, who guided you to this place, he must know what is here and what will happen.”

Izparut turned to look at the sealed [Entimesis].

"He should have been able to foresee this happening."

Izparut was confident, but he did not underestimate his opponent.

They didn't imagine Naraku to be some kind of fool.

Izparut tidied himself up: "He said you came here... to the second level."

The world I live in is just a copy of what others call a forbidden zone; it's a feeling I can't quite explain.

But it still accepted this setting.

"After arriving at the second level, your attitude towards Him will change."

"I think there are other things waiting for you."

"You're not in a hurry to thank me."

"Could I examine this thing?" Izparut shrunk the seal of Entimemes into a small ball.

During this process, Izparut reinforced several more layers of the seal.

Each layer of seal is a nine-star sealing magic.

Even if one knows of his genius.

But seeing it again now, I still can't help but sigh.

Izparut is now a half-step false god, just one step away from being promoted.

"I have class this afternoon; this is a pre-arranged schedule."

"I'm going to visit a friend tonight. It seems there are guests visiting at the palace, and I need to go see them."

"I might not have any free time until tomorrow."

"If you're not in a hurry, you can take a stroll around Peacock City first; you might find something unexpected."

"I will discuss this with you again when I have some free time tomorrow."

The fact that this world is fictional seems to have no effect on Izparut whatsoever.

Cang Qiong: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Izparut laughed heartily: "By the way, you said you were once the strongest demigod in history, apart from Neherkato, right?"

Cang Qiong smiled bitterly: "That happened in the previous cycle."

"My strength is not even as good as it used to be now."

Izparut: "Everyone has their low points; you just have to break through and rebuild."

Cang Qiong nodded and smiled, "You're right, destruction precedes construction."

The surrounding darkness gradually faded, and the clear blue sky of Peacock City was revealed once more. Izparut teleported back to the sky above the magic tower in the academy.

He waved his hand with his back to the sky.

He conveyed his thoughts to the heavens: "Just come in and find me tomorrow."

Then, Izparut gently clapped his hands on the tower.

"For those of you who skipped class, today's class will not be marked as an absence."

"Next is my open course for the whole school: Theory of Magic and Creation."

Sky glanced at Izparut.

With a few quick steps, he vanished into the darkness.

When it reappeared, it was already in a distant urban area.

Although the mysterious creature that had merged into her body was taken away by Izuparut, the power given to her by Naraku was still retained.

It seems that the source of my power is not that creature.

He still possesses the genuine Dark Godhood and Chaos Godhood.

-----------------

Lacey Bea and the others had already arrived at the palace tower.

The view of the magic academy is wider from here.

"Ah, it's untied."

Suddenly, the area over there turned completely black, and we couldn't see anything at all.

However, it now appears that Izparut has emerged unharmed.

They came out together with it.

And that pure black figure.

You can see Izparut return to the academy, and you can also see the pure black figure merge into the darkness and then disappear.

"Luo Heng, it's gone."

"Um."

Lu Cang held the palace teacup and took a small sip.

It disappeared from Lacey's perception.

However, in Lu Cang's perception, the pure black figure was still being tracked.

Although tracking it is somewhat difficult, it is not a particularly difficult task.

only……

It looks very familiar.

I'm all too familiar with the other party's habits and routines.

Everyone has their own subconscious habits. As a multi-generational assassin, Lu Cang, who needs to observe every weakness of his enemies, could not possibly miss these details.

This guy.

Their way of doing things is very similar to mine.

Could it really be you?

Lu Cang had considered everything that might happen in the Illusionary Ruins, but he never expected to encounter...this guy here.

Is he Entimes, or is he another version of himself?

What's even more unknown is what Naraku actually did to it.

Nehercato: "Aren't you going to make contact?"

"This guy is weird."

Neherkato is one of only two members of the team who have been keeping an eye on Entimes.

Even though it disappeared into the darkness and walked in the shadows, it could not escape Neherkato's perception.

To Nehercato, this guy's existence did indeed feel somewhat familiar.

"No, contacting them now would be like stirring up trouble."

"It doesn't seem to have noticed us yet."

"It can't hurt to take a look first."

Lu Cang and Neherkato communicated privately, without letting the other two know.

"Heartbreak Moon".

"Um?"

Xin Jueyue was not good at observation, and her senses had already lost track of that dark god.

Xin Jueyue was wearing thick clothes at this moment.

And he covered his face with a heavy mask.

Otherwise, the appearance of Xin Jueyue would have been a disaster.

She absolutely cannot show herself in front of ordinary people now, otherwise just a glimpse of her would cause them lifelong harm.

They will be trapped in the deep heartbreak of unrequited love for the rest of their lives.

"Are you doing this for Cang Qiong as a person, or for his wish?"

Why are you suddenly asking this question?

"Just out of curiosity."

"In my memory, that man was consistent in word and deed. What difference is there between my support for him and my support for his desire?"

"What if it changes its original intention?"

Xin Jueyue glanced at Luo Heng, sensing that Luo Heng's words had a deeper meaning.

She paused briefly, then replied softly, "I came here to repay his kindness to my sisters."

"It's also to repay a few favors owed to Jacaticto."

That's all.

"If I had to say who it was for, I couldn't say."

"But his wish seems to be to achieve a perfect ending... to have nothing lost, for everything to be perfect and beautiful."

"Perhaps, what I really want to do is fulfill this wish."

-----------------

[Dungeon]

After finishing his afternoon classes, Izparut did not immediately study the sealed rift creature.

Instead, they arrived at a heavy prison cell.

The cell was square and completely enclosed by extremely thick stone.

It looks completely non-breathable.

"Izparut, you're still so punctual."

"There's a strong magical fluctuation coming from the ground today. Was it you who made the move?"

A silvery female voice rang out from the prison cell.

"I've encountered a very interesting and formidable opponent."

Izparut responded.

"A formidable rival?"

"It seems you think highly of it. How does it compare to mine?"

"Compared to you, it's much more powerful."

"Unfortunately, it's still a bit lacking compared to me."

Izparut slightly clenched her fingers, her fingertips radiating an eternity of distance.

Izparut laughed and said, "Thanks to this formidable opponent, I have gained a deeper understanding of the wind."

"The opponent is clearly not a wind-type spellcaster, is he?"

"None of these matters."

"All things share the same origin, and the path to the root is the same, whether it is darkness or wind."

“Crea, let’s confirm my guess.”

"Heh, being locked up in this godforsaken place and having to help you research the magic of wind, I really don't know who's asking for whose help."

"You've gained something too, haven't you?"

Claya snorted coldly, but did not deny it.

Although imprisoned here, Izparut's presence has indeed given it a deeper understanding of the Laws of Wind.

If he were to ascend to the level of a false god in the future, he might gain access to even more powerful divine authority.

Despite becoming a prisoner, he actually benefited greatly.

"However, I'm in a bit of a rush. I heard there are some distinguished guests at the palace who want to visit me, so we probably can't talk too late tonight."

"They were four very interesting guests."

Izparut described it this way.

Possessing the nine-star magic ability "Observation of the Universe and the Subtle," Izparut had already observed the presence of Lu Cang and the others.

hehe……

It's incredibly interesting; the events of today are far more interesting than the past few hundred years.

Claya, however, remained calm: "It doesn't matter, I can't go anywhere anyway."

"There's not enough time today, but you can come again next time. Perhaps while I'm waiting for you, I'll gain some new insights."

"However, it seems you're quite busy."

"Do you really have to restrict my freedom?"

Kleia's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"The loser can't go unpunished, can they? If that's the case, it would be too much trouble to be challenged every day."

"After all, there are many people who want to challenge me."

Kleia: "Tsk..."

"You arrogant idiot."

"It's not arrogance, it's having a correct understanding of oneself."

Claya's tone was already somewhat helpless: "Fine, just tell me, what new insights do you have about the wind?"

-----------------

Izparut still hadn't returned, but to welcome Lu Cang and the others back, Izparut's private butler still hosted a grand banquet for the four of them.

"Aren't you a vampire?"

"Why don't you drink blood and instead eat meat?"

If it were just an ordinary person asking, I wouldn't bother.

But for some reason, these words from Nehercato made Lacebea so unhappy.

It seems she completely sees herself as an inferior vampire.

"Hehe, drinking blood is fine too."

"However, I want to drink your blood!"

Wow!

As Lacey spoke, she lunged at Nehercato, baring her sharp teeth as if to bite!

bite!

But the next second, Lacey Bellia was frozen in mid-air.

Nehercato calmly cut the steak with his knife, put small pieces of meat into his mouth with his fork, and after finishing one bite, he even wiped his lips with a tissue.

Everything was as elegant as a meal for nobles among mortals.

“No matter what, biting is a bit too rude,” Nehercato said calmly.

bite!

thump.

Lacey fell toward the ground! Lacey was conscious, but helpless.

That God of Time is truly despicable!

Just then, an invisible force supported Laceybea as she crashed towards the floor.

At the same time, an unfamiliar figure appeared on one side of the hall.

It seemed as if it had been blown in by the wind, naturally emerging in the gentle breeze.

"Sorry I'm late, I had an appointment with a friend today."

"It was already late at night when I arrived at the appointment."

“I heard from my steward that an agent of the God of Time has come to visit.”

When Izparut returned, his head was surrounded by an invisible turbulent flow of wind pressure.

A pale white top hat floated on the invisible wind, and a long tailcoat outlined his dignified figure.

"Yes, you're talking about me."

Nehercato didn't look at Izparut and continued eating at his own unhurried pace.

This gesture seemed to indicate that Izparut was not taken seriously.

Izparut looked at the silver-haired girl: "Neherkato, is that right?"

"yes."

Nehercato wiped his mouth: "Making a god of time wait for you is somewhat arrogant."

Izparut was not angered by Neherkato's slight sarcasm, but simply responded with a light smile: "Since there was a prior agreement, I will naturally keep my promise."

"I heard from the butler that you came here to explore time magic."

Neherkato: "Yes, that's one of them."

"I can share some of my understanding of time with you."

"But the more important thing is him."

Neherkato looked at Luo Heng, who was standing to the side.

Luo Heng greeted Izparut.

"Indeed, this is interesting."

Upon meeting Luo Heng face-to-face, Izparut couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I just made a new friend today, and I feel that you are eight parts similar to him."
