"Don't think of the fireworks as part of the fight."

In a cosmic space filled with high-temperature particle streams and endless explosions, Lilith hovered seventy thousand kilometers away from Li Wu, responding to his declaration.

The indiscriminate bombardment of energy is only equivalent to destroying the physical body of the opponent in the current worldview, just like using a boulder to smash the reflection of the water surface, and trampling the shadow of a person in the sun with his feet, which has no substantive effect except for visual effects.

Even in terms of sheer threat, the attack that she used herself at the beginning of the battle to destroy the surface of Pluto was more effective than the magnificent fireworks in front of her.

Therefore, there is only one answer.

The supernova explosion, which is comparable to the sum of the energy of the normal burning of a star for hundreds of millions of years, is just the starting point for a real attack.

After exerting its last residual heat, the wreckage of the dying star eruption would have overcome the repulsion of the electron shell and eventually formed a neutron star.

However, under Lilith's guidance, the collapse of the star continues, and the mass, which is heavier than the entire solar system, is forcibly compressed into smaller spaces, until space-time itself is distorted by a terrifying gravitational pull, skewing the path of light.

At the same time, the book of unknown material beside her began to turn to a new page again, and Lilith chanted the Spirit of Words for the second time.

"The wolf of Ragnarok covets the sun and the moon, and thou art devouring many stars to devour the gods and shake the roots of the world, the time has come!"

It is difficult to describe in words, it cannot be observed by sight, and it can only be superficially described as the existence of something black and nothing, born from the corpse of a star.

Event horizons, black holes, singularities......

A series of relevant words that could be associated flashed through Li Wu's mind.

But why?

Why did he think these names were inaccurate?

Putting aside the shackles of common sense, in the supernatural side, the celestial body that represents the ultimate destruction reveals its true face.

It was a winged beast clad in scales and claws, roaring and struggling shadows, a symbol of the end of the world.

"So you're a dragon."

It dawned on him.

When the final day comes, the dragon that soars on the battlefield with its wings full of corpses gnaws at the World Tree, so it makes sense that it is a black hole.

The next moment, the beastly dragon that had been conceived spread its wings and crossed the dimensional space, and the collapsed gravitational force distorted time and space to swallow Li Wu into its belly.

In a time that no longer has any practical significance, all the basic concepts that make up the material plane have been collapsed and eliminated, and transformed into pure electromagnetic radiation and heat.

But the dragon has not yet been slain, so the dragon slayer will not die.

As if the sky was falling, the black dragon, which weighed four million times the size of the sun, roared and released gravitational waves that carried its own painful information, and the trillions of mass that made up its body were instantly evaporated and annihilated, turning into thermal radiation, photons, and electromagnetic waves that erupted and escaped in all directions.

Within the normal laws of nature, the red flame that existed would not be allowed to burn brightly, as if it had lit up a red giant star, and it could no longer even maintain the form of creating singularities by distorting space-time with gravity, and even the remaining body was swept away by its own qualitative energy flow, evaporating most of the skull, which was about the size of a planet.

When the flames contracted, all that appeared in place was the dragon that had burned its mass to the ground, only hundreds of kilometers long, and the flesh of the back half of its body had been stripped of the rest of its skeleton.

Li Wu stood on top of its head and raised the holy spear that grew thorns in his hand.

Crimson flames wrapped around the tip like a ribbon, spinning backwards to form a double helix like a giant drill.

"If I want to kill you, it's better to use this weapon, right?"

Li Wu lowered the tip of his spear and nodded at the black earth that stretched out in the form of a curved surface under his feet.

With a crunching sound similar to crushing crushing crustaceans, orange-red lines crawled all over the body of the dragon that devoured the world, and it turned into dry dust like a cicada being pinched up in autumn, creating a spreading dust mass in the void.

He already knew what the power the other party had taken from him was the true face.

It is a different ability similar in nature to the power of the mechanical séance, and it is also the existence that leads the world to the end.

"The Epilogue and the Seventy-Eighth."

Expressionless, Lilith flipped through the book in her hand again.

Due to the technological development and infighting of mankind, the planetary surface is finally turned into a nuclear apocalypse in purgatory.

In the prophecy of Ragnarok, the poisonous dragon Nidhogg, who gnawed at the roots of the World Tree, turned into a dark body that devoured everything.

Even though the two attacks she took were vastly different in terms of the amount of energy used, in essence, only these two attacks really had a damaging effect on Li Wu.

Because that's the same source, the power that leads the story to the end.

Just as he actually applied his conjecture in battle and was hit by a supernova blast, Lilith is also learning how to use her abilities in her own way.

Therefore, when the two of them have determined their own and each other's strength through the previous temptation, the battle between the mechanical gods and the end-of-life theory has really begun, and the form of the battle has also changed.

……

"Psychologist Carl Jung's archetypal theory suggests that common traces can be found in the collective image and mythological themes of human beings......"

Li Wubai stared boredly at the gossip teacher on the podium, and there was nothing on the other party's bare head except for the blackboard.

Suddenly, a long sword entwined with cyan flames poked out of the air and slashed off the opponent's head, blood splattering all over the ceiling, causing the entire classroom to scream.

The next moment, a magic cannon falling from the sky razed the entire city to the ground, and all the teachers and students, including him, naturally lost their lives.

……

"Fortunately, that person personally gave me the technique to unlock the seal and drive the drunken boy, otherwise it is really possible to lose to you two little ghosts."

Yuichi Uehara looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and the woman behind him was tall and had two horns, happily throwing the head of the enemy he had just screwed off, admiring the desperate look of the magical girl in front of him.

But then her expression became strange, because the headless corpse behind the other party suddenly stood up, and a powerful red flame ignited all over her body, and with one punch, the one person and one demon who only had time to turn back were blasted into a blood mist, and the aftermath caused a ten-magnitude earthquake in Chiyo City by the way.

……

Elementary school student Li Wu and Hikari are returning home on the side of the road when they meet a girl who looks like they are the same age, and she smiles and offers to take a picture for them. (Note)

He had happily agreed, and his face suddenly changed, and he punched her chest.

The girl laughed wildly and emitted a white light all around her, and after a strong annihilation reaction, a pit like an abyss appeared on this side of the earth.

……

The plot is rewritten, negating each other, and even everyone else is drawn into a battle between the two.

Li Wu, who had climbed onto the body of the white dragon, was killed by a vampire who suddenly learned to stop time, and his body fell to the side of the red dragon.

When the battle was about to be lost, Arisa crawled over with tears in his eyes, gulped down his blood, and awakened the same ability to defeat his father.

"Goodbye father, and my cowardice."

Having completed her act of killing her father, she is no longer weak, and is active in the dark side of the world as a strange killer, and it is later discovered that there is also a family member who has been transformed by her own family, who has always been by the side of the strongest vampire known as the cold-blooded blooded man known as Iron Will.

Decades ago, Lilith, who came to Sakurajima to create the first magical girl, was captured and killed by a terrifying tentacle monster that suddenly broke through the window in front of her creation, leaving a deep psychological shadow on the latter, and decided to create a countermeasure bureau to deal with the threat of these monsters, and the individual named [Take] was classified as an absolute secret.

Shiratori, who had returned from the other world, was separated from the Inari God when she encountered Li Wu, who came to her for her, and after a fierce battle, beat him to his knees and dragged him into the basement.

……

There are infinite possibilities for the past and future to overlap, and the two who are at war will each lead to events that evolve in their own direction.

Only when one side has won outright will these possibilities have a chance to be realized.

Their battle spread from space to time, and then to a more fundamental level.

The reborn Li Wu, who traveled to Tokyo, met his sister-in-law who likes to fantasize that he is a magical girl, a girl who calls himself a detective, a shrine maiden at a nearby shrine and a popular idol, and lives a life like a romantic comedy, but with the fermentation of feelings, he can't let go of any of them and is finally stabbed to death by his sister, and they go to sea together after cutting off their heads.

Lilith, a high school student with a second middle school illness who set herself as the boss of the dark organization, really summoned a demon one day according to the spell of the magic book on the stall, and wanted to use her soul to exchange power with this otherworldly existence who claimed to be surnamed Li, but was eaten by the repentant demon on the spot, and her body turned into a vegetative person.

If the world is compared to a forest, their initial battle in the universe was a battle that broke out on a tree, and spreading to the timeline is only equivalent to moving up and down the tree.

Then the current battle is to start around every tree in the forest after the two have completely mastered their own abilities.

Destroy the old worldview with a new worldview, and subvert the other party's worldview with a worldview that is beneficial to oneself.

Li Wu can only use his ability to do this now.

They didn't really leave the tree they were on, they weren't detached from their own worldview, but more like two men with guns shooting at each other through the branches, and the bullets happened to leave traces on other trees.

I am afraid that only by realizing Lilith's wild dreams and replacing the consciousness of the world with my own consciousness can we reach the point of possessing this entire forest.

But the opportunity to divide the victory and defeat may also lie in this state where the two are not yet perfect.

While Li Wu fought fiercely with Lilith on the invisible level, while thinking about the chance of victory, their physical bodies were still fighting.

Lilith summons absolute zero, which puts everything in eternal static, and brings one of the final endings of the withering of all things to the battlefield.

Even time stopped flowing, and the photons ceased to move, and a little red fire burned in the absolute black field.

Li Wu tore through the space like a meteor and came to her, and a punch was imprinted on the opponent's delicate face, blasting her out without any tricks.

Gravity, dark matter, space, quarks...... Whatever it is called, the essence of it comes to an end with the blessing of the mechanical séance, the star that happens to be in the same line as Lilith collapses silently, and the particles that make up matter are also cut off from the fundamental force and cannot be maintained, and are converted into pure thermal energy.

Lilith, who had experienced the state of cosmic heat death in advance, naturally disappeared in an instant at this moment, but the derivative consequences of this punch did not stop there.

Perhaps the structure of space-time is finally overwhelmed, and the hidden world covered in the material universe opens its arms to two unexpected visitors.

Li Wu, who had the intention of changing the battlefield, stepped into it with Lilith, who reorganized her body.

Here, the other party's ability is even more bizarre.

A dystopia that deprives people of their creativity and free will and brings civilization to a standstill.

The great flood that broke everything.

It grows exponentially every minute in a vacuum, and after ten hours it will reach a coral-like life form with a mass of 10^23 times that of the observable universe.

The first flame of the world that is about to be extinguished.

……

The scales vary greatly, but the possible images that all lead to an ending flicker frequently, like silhouettes projected onto reality, trying to suck him in.

On the other hand, Li Wu denied these end-of-life outcomes one by one, as if he had severed the knot of Gordios.

The tyranny was defeated, the flood was properly channeled, the mercenaries in humanoid armor burned the alien life, and the undead geists used themselves as firewood to rekindle the flames......

It's like an ancient Greek drama would use a huge mechanical device to drop actors representing the gods to the stage when the plot could not continue, resolving the entanglements and contradictions at once, and bringing the story to an end.

This is exactly what séances are meant to be.

Now they have completely given up on continuing to focus on the destructive power of the material level, and are more like two hackers who steal permissions, using the principles of the world as the network cable to fight in the air.

Finding out the loopholes of the other party and denying their own flaws, whether it is Li Wu or Lilith, they are all devoting their whole bodies to the weaving and destruction of the worldview, and there is a stalemate for a while.

Neither of them can help each other until there is no external force, even the slightest variable.

"Why do you just refuse to leave?!"

Seeing that the plan was only close to opening the last roadblock to succeed, but it couldn't be crossed, even if she was familiar with the self-cultivation of qualified villains, Lilith, who played with everyone on applause, also showed an impetuous expression.

"I think our world is quite strong, and maybe it's okay to fight with you for tens of thousands of years, don't worry."

Although he responded with trash talk, Li Wu couldn't think of any good way to take her down alone for a while.

"But I'm sure I'm going to win."

Repeat the premise.

Before killing the world consciousness and replacing it, they didn't really depart from their own worldview, but they were just able to transmit their power.

Then, in this story that belongs to "Lilith and Li Wu and His Friends", there are more than two protagonists.
