Rinko Hori had imagined what would happen inside the Demon King Castle, which seemed to be suspended in the air.

For example, every room is stuffed with tons of monsters, and the corners you walk through are lined with sinister traps like the Feeling Blocking Crypt, and even the treasure chests you pass by will bite you.

But in reality, the appropriate descriptor for the scene here is silence.

Towering pillars propped up the sky-like dome, and torches that silently burned with a faint blue flame hung from all the walls in sight, illuminating the blankets laid on the floor.

The soft red carpet absorbed the footsteps so much that she even had the illusion that she was not moving forward.

Although she moved from the school building to here in the blink of an eye, and was separated from the others, she did not panic.

Ever since she was raided by the Demon King who called herself Char in the Third Seal, she had a question she wanted to figure out, that is, who the other party really was.

Why...... Do you feel familiar with him?

The road here is not complicated, and after turning around a few empty rooms that I don't know what they are for, I saw things that I had seen more than once.

The black notebook lay quietly in front of a grand door, as if waiting for her to flip through it.

Rinko Hori discreetly summoned the Radiant Sword she had named, Falcion, slipped to the door like an astute cat, and picked it up.

As she flipped through her notebook, the door slammed open.

*

In front of him was an empty classroom, the interior layout made Li Wu feel quite familiar, and looking out from the door and window, there was a white boundless space, so that the room he was currently in was like a small raft floating on the ocean.

"Back in place...... Not right either. ”

This is the classroom where he and Hikari used to take classes.

If there is a classroom, there will naturally be a teacher who will attend the class.

She stood on the bench and yawned boringly, as if she was blaming the late students, and when she saw Li Wu's figure, she came to her senses and waved her hand to say hello.

"Li Wu, although I don't usually make up classes, today can be an exception—"

In response, she was greeted by a thrusting spear that shattered the young body into an illusion like a soap bubble.

Why ignore the past and not realize it until now?

It was as if the last part of the distortion had finally been corrected, and the irrationalities surrounding her were now unscrupulous when she recalled them.

The unreasonable appearance of the young girl is secondary, and what really matters is the name.

It's the teacher who has been teaching them.,But I can't remember what her name is.,And accepted it as common sense.。

Looking back carefully, in the original world, the impression of the bald middle-aged man was limited to a vague label, he knew that the instructor of Hikaru their class was Arisa Yamama, but he didn't know anything about his teacher's name, and subconsciously accepted such a "setting".

The phantom recoalesces, forming a little girl-like body at the back of the classroom.

Li Wu looked at the top of her head again.

【@！ #@！ ￥@！ 】

Even in this distorted Chiyo City, he could still see the words on other people's heads, just mixed with gibberish, but she was the only one, all unrecognizable symbols from beginning to end.

If even the words of the gods can be recognized, then ...... What is the other party?

The nameless girl, who had been accompanying them as a teacher, grinned happily and raised her hand, pointing to the top of her head.

"Can't see it, can you? My real name, you can't tell. ”

"You summoned the other world?"

Even though she pretends to know his abilities quite well, Li Wu doesn't want her to dominate the conversation.

"You don't have to be tempted, because I was going to tell you all the plans and all the scripts up to today, Li Wu."

The young girl said softly as if she were really in class, and then lifted the corner of her skirt to him and saluted.

"Let's introduce myself as I really am, lest you keep thinking of the disguise I used to use - who told me that balding middle-aged male teachers can be seen everywhere?"

She grumbled and smiled again, "Prophet, magician, immortal, oldest witch, founder and protector of the occult and modern science, transcendent at the end of the world...... None of these titles mean much to you, so just keep the latest titles, and by the way, the name I've been using in recent decades has been Lilith Claudia. ”

Lilith cleared her throat and performed pompously, "Bang bang, shocking facts!" Greetings to the current president of the Unification Society! ”

“…… I thought there was finally an incident that had nothing to do with you. ”

"Why is your reaction so flat!"

After waiting for a while, she smacked her lips dissatisfiedly, "This is the bridge of 'that familiar good friend turned out to be the final boss'!" ”

"Even when you were a teacher, we really didn't know each other, thank you."

Li Wu coldly argued with her.

Of course he doesn't mind hearing about the other party's identity and purpose if he is willing to blow himself up, after all, this person is putting pressure on him at the moment...... Even above Susanoo, who once fought.

Even if she is a young girl, she is also a super-god's young girl.

"Are you measuring the strength between me and the god of war?"

She tilted her head as if she was cute, "You can ask the teacher directly, I am stronger than him, and I should be stronger than any god or man...... In other words, if you win the battle against the teacher, you can declare that you have cleared the old world. ”

"The Old World?"

"It's relative to the new world I'm trying to create."

Lilith said endlessly, "Li Wu, do you remember what the teacher said in class that the world is conscious? ”

"The so-called Gaia hypothesis?"

"Forget all about this inconsequential theory, I'm talking about knowledge that is closer to the truth."

She cocked up her fingers.

The essence of this world is a huge and invisible mass of power, which did not manifest itself until the moment when the consciousness of intelligent life was born inside.

Some of the near-infinite forces are woven into a fixed form by a contract called mythology, and will change with the flow of the former, while the vast majority of the rest will flow along the flow of consciousness, which has no power in itself, but which gives direction to the infinite power of ignorance and unawareness.

Strange rumors of word of mouth actually give birth to youkai, legends that have been handed down to future generations have real power in their own right, and magicians who can cast spells through religious and cultural mediums are all based on this principle.

"Once upon a time, the planet's position in the universe was not fixed, whether it was either a square earth covered by a celestial dome, a projectile encased in a celestial sphere, or a center of the universe resting in the void surrounded by a solid shell called a stellar sky...... It wasn't until much of the ancient cosmology was replaced that the world took on what we see it now, and no one can remember what really happened in the process—just like the ordinary people who witnessed the supernatural events. ”

From Lilith's mouth came a wild words like the Arabian Nights, "So to put it precisely, the external form of the world is the collection of all intelligent life worldviews, and the world consciousness and the collective consciousness of life are actually one thing. And the world we live in today should have been born six months ago, that is, in the spring of this year. ”

"What did you say?!"

If the previous narrative Li Wu can more or less understand after experiencing so many events, but he doesn't understand why the other party wants to give an academic lecture at this time, then the last sentence has completely exceeded his expectations.

"Surprised? Do you think I'm just talking nonsense for that long time? ”

Lilith turned her head to look out the window into the void, "The story of the real mine, you, and Rinko Hori began after the destruction of the world six months ago. ”
