Chapter 1015: Chapter 6: Magic Guide Holy Grail; Identity of the Self_3

"What are you going to do?!"

Amilia felt a bad premonition rising in her heart, and immediately switched her stance, wielding the Holy Sword to press forward.

But the darkness rolled continuously, as if the space was stretched infinitely.

It was just a small distance, yet it was impossible to reach no matter how hard she tried.

"Heh, the Holy Grail has already taken the life of several Earth Mother Goddesses..."

The child-like Goddess revealed a smile, cleverly blinking her eyes.

"Naturally, it can also absorb his life. I have long connected his life to the Holy Grail. Once this path is opened, no matter the distance, the Power of the Holy Grail will reach the ends of time and space, continually absorbing his essence."

Although indeed unnoticed, how the vile fellow colluded with Guinevere, pulling some tricks right under her nose.

But how could Athena possibly be completely unguarded and not have considered the worst-case scenario in advance?

So having prepared early, she definitely wouldn’t fail to guard against this trick. Although a bit annoyed at first, it was more a desire to taunt the opponent... Yes, she wanted to give the opponent a glimmer of hope, then utterly snuff it out; such was the Goddess’s revenge.

"Hehehe, taste the humiliation and despair you once inflicted upon me, dear~ father~"

With a laughter like silver bells, Athena said this in a cute voice, starkly contrasting her cold and ruthless demeanor, as if delivering a death sentence to the opposite party.

At the next moment—

As if diving into the earth or instantly evaporating into the air, the child-like Goddess along with the golden urn vanished directly.

"Stop!!" ×2

Amilia and Erica attempted to stop it, their intertwined sword storms instantly shredding the thick darkness, with a cold gleam breaking the afterimage. The darkness retreated, the starlight and moonlight poured down, as though broken through the domain of the Dark Night by the two beautiful girls’ exquisite dual sword combination.

However...

Nothing remained, and both their faces were grim, knowing this was Athena’s deliberate withdrawal of the Dark Night.

Originally expecting a bitter battle, it ended unexpectedly easily... Yet the result was the worst kind, at least from Athena’s words, the Goddess had long succeeded, they were indeed a step too late!

"Gu Mo..."

Amilia anxiously turned around, scrutinizing the young man behind her.

"You, you’re alright...?"

"..."

"..."

"...I’m fine."

Gu Mo’s expression was a bit peculiar, it took awhile for him to react, shaking his head.

"But your complexion looks strange..." Miss Brave bit her lip; no matter how one looked, it seemed like there was definitely something wrong, right?

"Oh, it’s mainly because of her earlier address that made me quite... greatly shocked." Gu Mo shook his head again.

This feeling was too strange, though knowing the Goddess’s words were mostly sarcastic, it still felt terribly odd. He always thought he would only hear such an address from Alice, and had always been expecting and convinced he’d hear it.

Though, until now, he hadn’t achieved this goal...

Even though their relationship had reconciled significantly, Alice still hadn’t been able to say it...

"Just because of that?"

Instinctively widening her eyes, Amilia was somewhat amused and exasperated, and then she too looked carefully at his demeanor, it seemed like really nothing had happened. In that case, it appeared indeed nothing serious, but what was with the Goddess, bluffing?

"No, your condition is very bad..."

Guinevere finally spoke without having said a word.

The golden-haired loli in black mourning clothes, with a slender figure emphasizing a kind of alluring charm, squinted her eyes, carefully examining the young man in front of her.

"She’s not wrong, the path has already been opened... Now the Holy Grail is absorbing your essence. Though it’s a bit strange, generally people would be drained immediately, don’t you feel anything?"

"..."

"..."

The scene fell silent instantly.

Amilia and Erica exchanged glances.

"Don’t feel anything..." Gu Mo laughed it off, completely unwilling to admit.

Anyway, this connection isn’t stable at all, if he wants, he can break it at any time. The reason he hasn’t dealt with it now is simply because even if the Holy Grail opens up to absorb his essence, even to the point of bursting itself, the impact on him is less than a mosquito...

Hmm?

Suddenly sensing something, Gu Mo lightly furrowed his brows.

Probably because of his own vast essence continuously pouring into the Holy Grail, he faintly sensed through the resonance of the Holy Grail, the "existence" of Holy Grails in other worlds, other timelines.

Ever since he began firmly rejecting his original destiny, causality rates started becoming chaotic, observing the future became difficult, and even observing the infinite parallel worlds with the Second Magic seemed to be severely disrupted.

As if his actions had cast a massive stone into the pond, causing ripples to rapidly spread, making the previously clear reflections fragmented and no longer discernible.

Now, suddenly discovering the resonance and information exchange between Holy Grails of different worlds, Gu Mo had an idea.

Using the Holy Grail as a carrier for the Second Magic—

Just like the Gem Elder, whose parallel world travel method is by transferring onto different time axes of Earth’s "gemstones."

For example, when moving from World A to World B, the gemstones of World B would gather with a swish, until the form of Zelrich is constituted, and Zelrich’s soul then transfers into that form. In an instant, the Gem Puppet transforms into Zelrich. Meanwhile, Zelrich originally in World A reverts back to the original gem mountain.

This is because the Second Magic possesses the ability to maintain the unity of self—

Parallel worlds are infinite, but the existence of the Second Magic user is unique.

Having achieved the Second Magic, Gu Mo is the same. As long as he exists in this world, he would not simultaneously appear in parallel worlds; he needs to choose a carrier for parallel world travel methods.
