"The source of magic..."

"What should I do?"

Only then can this cause and effect, which was sown long ago, be resolved.

"Did I do something wrong?"

“I have done everything I should have done, so why do I still have to face this…fear?”

Izparut gazed up at the sky and sighed in the world woven from magic.

Shortly after its birth.

Then came the inevitable chaos and destruction.

It can still remember that day.

It was an afternoon in the year 17 of the Twilight Calendar.

The world was sucked into a vortex of time, arriving in a desolate and chaotic world...

There.

It saw... another version of itself for the first time.

Perhaps every Izparut is a born seeker of truth, a born sorcerer, and also a born lover of peace.

Um……

This is perhaps the unchanging nature across countless timelines.

but.

However, it is not only nature that shapes a person.

It didn't give any chance to communicate or choose before imprisoning itself with ten-star magic.

That was me back then.

It is impossible to break ten-star magic.

After that.

Izparut witnessed one inhumane experiment after another.

In the dark, sunless park, isolated from all magic, it wasn't the only "Izparut" imprisoned.

Multiple timelines...

So many versions of myself.

They were instilled with forbidden magical knowledge, or had forbidden magical runes inscribed on them, in order to conduct extreme experiments.

What could be a better test subject than oneself?

What are some better magical materials for Izparut?

No……

Whether considering compatibility or strength, testing on one's own body is the best way to get results.

One after another.

Izparut saw countless versions of himself, driven mad by cruel magical experiments.

To become a stupid fool.

Loss of consciousness.

I also saw myself being stripped of my magical power, my magical foundation ripped out, and forever barred from casting spells.

And it itself is one of them.

Having survived several unusual and cruel experiments, it was kept alive.

But sooner or later...

It will be my turn to be sacrificed.

They were either used as sacrifices in a ritual or died from being unable to withstand a crazy experiment.

Or their magical foundation is ripped out, and they lose the ability to cast spells forever.

Or... their spirit is broken, and they become one of the many useless people.

In conclusion.

There probably won't be a better outcome for me.

until……

boom!

A burst of red light crashed down from the sky!

The imprisoned Izparut was smashed through the earth by a life form with an angry face!

This attack not only severely injured the magic god who imprisoned them.

They even smashed the cages that imprisoned them!

Almost instantly, Izparut, who had just been freed from the cage, seized the fleeting opportunity!

It instantly unleashed the strongest magic available at that time.

They plan to join forces with Kainu.

Slaughter it!

However, Kainu, who had slammed him into the ground, showed no gratitude and immediately turned to kill Izparut, who had just been freed from his cage.

A murderous intent surged within him!

It was also the effect of that guy's experiment on himself.

It is now.

Possessing extremely violent magical power, it can also communicate with deeper levels of magic and see the magical essence of all things!

boom!

With a wave of his hand, he wove together three ten-star spells that he had been unable to cast before.

Kainu, who was fighting with that guy, was already at his last gasp!

It's a life-or-death battle between the two of them!

But unexpectedly, it broke open!

Izparut was determined to kill, and had no intention of giving the two any chance to survive! The frenzied magic caused the world to change, and the violent elements instantly shattered the body of the furious one before him.

Then it immediately tore apart the already damaged Izparut below.

free……

It has endured hundreds of years of torment.

It finally earned it freedom.

It looked back at the cage, and one after another, "itself" emerged from the cage.

But it's different from myself.

Their expressions were all bewildered and blank.

That guy's experiments turned them almost all into mentally deficient idiots.

Izparut then looked at the round jars piled up not far away, as black as ink.

This contains the stripped-off magical foundation.

It is the body of separated elements.

It is a product stripped away and detached from one "self" after another...

There was also a thick stack of paper.

It's all its research.

This is the first time it has come out of this world since it came into existence, and the first time it has seen this world with its own senses.

This is chaos and filth.

A world filled with killing and conflict.

Because they are weak, they get beaten.

To die because of weakness.

There is no reason for the strong to protect the weak; the weak should die because of their weakness.

Izparut looked up at the distant sky.

My divine sense swept over the records this guy had made.

"It seems there's no going back."

Chaos devours the entire world, not just people; one's own original world should have been in ruins long ago.

call!

In his mind, a lightning bolt struck with incredible speed!

A guy who holds the position of the god of electricity.

It has come after me and wants to kill me.

hehe……

They've only just escaped, and now they're going to be killed again?

boom!

Lightning crackled in Izparut's palm!

The ten-star magic caused a sensation!

Thunder roared across half the sky, instantly annihilating the enemy before them.

"Only when you are powerful enough..."

"That's the real deal."

From that moment on, Izparut learned a lesson.

The law of the jungle prevails.

There are countless versions of me in the world, but if I cannot become the strongest one, I will be slaughtered by others.

call--

Izparut's thoughts drifted back to the distant past.

She looked at the man walking slowly towards her.

"Lu Cang".

"We must have met once a long time ago."

Lu Cang spoke calmly and steadily, "I wouldn't say we've met once."

That was when the two met.

It was just a fleeting sensory scan.

At that time, Gu Yuan Suochen was tasked with killing the King of Izparut.

But just then, King Izparut unlocked the secrets of the chaos, opened the gates of time, and left that timeline.

It's impossible to chase after it.

And so they parted ways.

“Perhaps I should have killed you first before leaving.” Izparut’s tone was calm, but it was accompanied by a step.

The world has already turned.

This world is the Fifth Era, yet it is not the Fifth Era.

Because this entire world is no longer a pure world, but has become a kingdom interwoven with magic!

Kingdom of Gods?

No……

The realm of gods!

This is Izparut's own world, a world that belongs only to him!

"Heh, anyone can say they regret it."

"But there isn't a single person who can truly make decisions they'll never regret."

A staff also appeared in Lu Cang's right hand.

Black Star Scepter

The staff held in his hand resembled a battle staff.

"Too."

“Ever since then, I’ve been unable to eat or sleep because I’ve realized that you might become someone stronger than me in this world.”

"I have traveled through one timeline after another."

“Nip each and every one of you in the bud.”

"I dare not let you grow up."

"I don't want to face you, such a terrifying enemy."

“I have thought countless times that one day, someone stronger than me will come to kill me, imprison me, and plunge me into an abyss where the sun never shines.”

"I dare not be weak, nor do I dare to let you, who have more potential than me, live."

When Izparut said this, his tone was calm, without any of the caution or fear one would show when facing a formidable enemy.

It is describing something that is perfectly ordinary.

Lu Cang: "But I still came."

Izparut: "That really... makes me tremble."

It raised its hands, and countless runes of different colors rose from both hands.

"Fourteen-star destruction magic".
