?Lan is very efficient.

Because he is responsible for interrogation and judgment, almost all the survivors in the imperial capital are in his records.

In just a short while, about a dozen imperial tools and three imperial tool users appeared in front of Shen He.

"Only three imperial tool users?" Shen He looked at the three people in front of him.

They are all characters that have appeared in the animation.

General Bud, Borus wearing a strange mask, and the gay genius scientist, Dr. Fashion.

"Although it's a bit regrettable." Lan smiled bitterly, "But in the entire imperial capital, there are only them who are innocent imperial tool users... Dr. Fashion only uses death row prisoners for experiments, I think he is innocent."

In fact, Lan has tried his best to preserve the power of the imperial capital.

However, perhaps there are many qualified imperial tool users in other places, but most of the imperial tool users in the imperial capital are not good people.

Shen He's eyes paused on General Bud. This upright and old-fashioned commander of the imperial army, the most loyal minister of the little emperor, is silent at this moment and has no intention of speaking at all.

"General Bud is responsible for wandering around and dealing with those giant dangerous species, is there any problem?" Shen He asked.

"Okay." Bud nodded and left directly.

Shen He guessed that he should have some kind of agreement with Atorlia, such as not being able to harm the little emperor.

But it doesn't matter. General Bud's strength should be the second best in the world after Esdeath.

After Bud left, Shen He set his sights on Dr. Fashion.

He is the key to whether he can hold on.

"Your name is..."

"Oh, I thought the commander of the battle would be a handsome guy, but he looks quite ordinary." Fashion twisted his body and looked at Saiki Kusuo standing aside, "On the contrary, this one will be quite beautiful after a little dressing up."

"..." Shen He was full of black lines.

But he had to admire his vision. Saiki Kusuo usually had such ugly eyes, but he could see the feminine features at a glance, which was also amazing.

However, now is not the time to discuss this.

I have to ask if his transformation of dangerous species can be popularized quickly.

But Shen He was just about to speak.

The voice of Saiki Kusuo appeared in his mind.

"Master, I can't read this person's mind."

"Can't read?" Shen He was stunned.

Saiki Kusuo's telepathic ability is not to directly enter the other person's mind to read information, but to receive the fluctuations automatically emitted from other people's minds.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to read the voices of heroic spirits, non-living beings, people with huge mental power, and people who can build mental barriers.

There is no doubt that Dr. Fashion should not be included in this list.

So, what is the situation?

"Looking at me straight like this." Fashion raised a charming smile, "But I only like handsome guys with fashion, you are not my type."

"I heard..." Shen He said calmly, "Your biggest dream is to pursue fashion, and you are confident in the weapons you make, thinking that they are more powerful than imperial tools?"

"Of course." Fashion kept smiling, "Confident people are the most fashionable."

"Is that so..."

Shen He hummed, then slowly stepped back a few steps and squinted his eyes.

"You probably don't know that Dr. Fashion's biggest dream is to create a weapon that can rival the imperial weapon, so who are you?"

"......"

The people around him, including Lan and Borus, pulled away and aimed their weapons at the fashion in front of them.

"How interesting." Dr. Fashion looked at the people who surrounded him completely, without any panic, "You are not me, how do you know what my dream is? Could it be that you have been paying attention to me secretly? But... you obviously came to this world not long ago."

Shen He's pupils shrank slightly.

There was no need to say anything more.

"Take him down."

Shen He ordered in his heart, and Ryougi Shiki instantly opened the Death Perception Mystic Eye.

However, the figure who was about to rush out froze in place.

Saiki Kusuo did not hesitate. He directly used telekinesis to bind the fashion in front of him who seemed not to resist, and took off the imperial weapon gloves on him.

"So beautiful." Shi Shang seemed to be unconcerned about his bound hands and feet. His intoxicated eyes were on Ryougi Shiki. "Look, you have the most charming eyes in this world, no, countless worlds. How enviable. You can see death, nothingness, and the negation and destruction of all things at any time - that's me."

"......"

Ryougi Shiki held the long sword in her hand, and her ice-blue eyes stared at the person in front of her.

The girl who had always been straightforward and decisive actually hesitated and rejected in her heart at this moment.

"What did you see, Shiki?" Shen He couldn't help asking.

Just the other party's words "countless worlds" just now made him feel like he had caught the boss, the reason why the Holy Grail appeared in these copy worlds!

"...... Nothingness." Ryougi Shiki bit her lip, "I saw it in my dream, nothingness without anything."

In her sight.

There was no dead line crack on the person in front of her.

Or rather, he himself was a huge dead line, so big that he could easily see the nothingness inside the cracks.

"Huh -"

Shen He exhaled slightly.

Although he could roughly understand what Ryougi Shiki said.

But can we not use such mysterious terms? What on earth is nothingness? I can't understand it at all.

"Anyway." Shen He gathered his thoughts. "Since we finally meet, why don't we talk about what I should call you?"

The fact that the Death Eyes could not find a line of sight that could kill him was enough to show that the person in front of him was a big shot.

So Shen He did not expect to catch him easily.

If the other party took action, he would try to see if he could agree. If he did not take action, he would get more information. That was all he could do.

"The name, that has no meaning to me."

The mysterious man in front of him did not seem to have any intention of taking action. On that delicate face of fashion, there was a smile that looked like a child, an old man, a man, and a woman.

"I am fashion, I can be anyone or anything. If I must have a name, then I think it would be - Mephisto!"

"Devil Mephisto?" Shen He was stunned.

The first thing he thought of was Mephisto in the Marvel world, the one who signed a contract with Ghost Rider.

"No, I'm not a devil." Mephisto denied Shen He's statement, and his tone suddenly changed into an operatic chant, "I am the spirit of eternal denial! As long as everything is created, it must be destroyed. You call this destruction, crime, and evil, but it is actually nothingness, the essence of my existence."

The people around him, including Lan, Saiki Kusuo, and Ryougi Shiki, were all frowned by this specious explanation.

But Shen He was thinking and nodding.

Yes, he understood.

"The original Mephisto legend is indeed the prototype of the nihilists, a concept of negation for the sake of negation." Shen He happened to know this knowledge, and he changed his tone, "But nihilism is nothing but a lie under extreme conditions. Since you deny everything, why don't you deny the fact that 'everything should be destroyed' itself."

This is a very simple truth, just like whether a person who needs to destroy everything will destroy himself.

Shen He knew that things at this conceptual level might be materialized in some worlds, just like Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death, which materialized the concept of "death".

If the Mephisto in front of him is a manifestation of negation,

then the conceptual loophole will also evolve into this kind of loophole in embodiment.

"Not bad, not bad."

The expression on Mephisto's face became more and more distorted, like joy, but also like sadness, like laughing, but also like crying.

This further confirmed Shen He's guess.

"To escape this self-contradictory logic, the easiest way to think of is to turn static into dynamic." Shen He looked at Mephisto in front of him, who no longer looked like a fashionable doctor, "You are in a cycle of constantly denying yourself."

This is like an Ouroboros.

Constantly devouring oneself, always in a state of self-negation, as long as it is moving, it can realize the concept of "eternal negation" in another form.

"Smart, you are smarter than I thought."

The distortion on Mephisto's body became more and more serious, and it was not just his expression. He was gradually turning into an indescribable mass.

"It seems that this body and this identity can only be denied after being discovered. Master of Chaldea, I will be more perfect and more powerful the next time we meet, so please look forward to it."

"Want to run?" Shen He raised his eyebrows, "I'll be relieved."

A cup suddenly appeared in his hand, and a crystal stone that exuded the power of black mud.

It was the Philosopher's Stone and the Holy Grail obtained in the Magical Forbidden World.

Make a wish -

Shen He raised the Holy Grail that was constantly absorbing power.

Capture Mephisto in front of him.

"No -" An extremely comfortable scream and roar appeared in the indescribable thing, "How could this inferior discarded product catch me? Deny it!"

Almost at the moment when the roar just fell, the channel for the Holy Grail to absorb power was cut off.

It was only a short time.

But the indescribable thing resolutely split the small part pulled by the Holy Grail.

Most of the rest disappeared directly in the dark cracks that suddenly appeared in the air.

The rest, like black fog and jelly, constantly changing, even colorless things, were absorbed into the golden Holy Grail.

Shen He remained calm and put the two things in his hands back into his backpack.

He took a rough look.

It was unknown how many lives were used to make this Philosopher's Stone. It was very heavy. Just now, only a small corner was consumed, about less than one twentieth.

The scene returned to calm.

All the soldiers nearby, including Lan, felt as if they were in a dream.

They couldn't understand what had just happened.

But they could understand that Shen He repelled the "person" who pretended to be fashionable.

"Shen He." Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly, "What exactly is that?"

"Who knows?" Shen He shrugged.

He was so relaxed that even he was surprised.

Perhaps it was expected that the Holy Grail's appearance in the copy world would not be so simple, and it might even be directly related to the system.

And now it is better to find out something than to know nothing.

"Anyway." Shen He glanced at Ryougi Shiki who seemed to be still struggling, gently touched her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Since that guy only wants to escape, it means there is nothing to be afraid of. What's more, we have captured a small part of it, which is already a good result. Let's study it slowly in the future." He

doesn't get too entangled in things that cannot be changed. This is his advantage.

Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to enrich yourself.

"Yeah." Ryougi Shiki nodded.

Shen He is the backbone of everyone. Since he has confidence, the whole team has confidence.

"But now..." Shen He looked at the dangerous species that were getting closer and closer with a bitter smile.

The kind that Shishang used in the animation can transform itself into a dangerous species and evolve by constantly swallowing potions. It is very suitable for the current defensive situation.

But now, Shishang is actually a fake by a mysterious man who calls himself Mephisto.

"The dangerous species on the ground should be able to be defended by relying on the city walls." Saiki Kusuo looked up, "But the ones in the sky are in trouble."

In the sky not far away, a large group of flying dangerous species had gathered.

They were rushing towards the entire imperial capital.

"Qi Mu, you hold on for a while."

Shen He directly slapped a primary enhancement card to Saiki Kusuo, and then his figure disappeared in an instant.

He returned to the Marvel world.

"Steve, mobilize all the war weapons in the Guardian Company to me, and attach ten offline control devices. Let Xiaolan copy a subroutine into it, and be quick!"

Xiaolan is the new artificial intelligence provided by Tony, as the master program of the entire Chaldea.

"What happened?" Steve, who was connected to Shen He, asked in a deep voice.

"It's a crisis in another world." Shen He smiled bitterly, "That world has been invaded by monsters. Try to have sufficient weapons and equipment as much as possible. This time it will bleed heavily."

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Steve was about to hang up the call, and suddenly asked again, "Is Tony there too?"

"Yes." Shen He nodded in acknowledgement.

He didn't want to tell the others that he took Tony away.

Because that would make Tony's body be completely stamped with the seal of Chaldea.

But it is actually difficult to hide this.

Steve didn't say anything else and went straight to make arrangements.

The Guardian Company he managed was actually not an important part of the entire Chaldea force, but he still did it very seriously. He was trying to transform from a soldier to a general.

Shen He used another primary delay card.

He used his backpack to divide it into several batches, and brought all the war weapons and even many heavy weapons to the world of Zhan Mei.

Fortunately, they all work normally.

The fierce war began. The

subroutine of the artificial intelligence Xiaolan controlled the silver-white war machine to rush into the sky and launch precise attacks with modern weapons.

Roars, explosions, the sky of the entire imperial capital was covered by this tragic battlefield.

From now on, every minute and every second will be invested hugely.

Shen He didn't know how long Chaldea's current financial resources could sustain such a war.

So he had to find a way to end it as soon as possible.
