Final: Eternal Adventure (Final Part)

　　Even though he had locked the world's location before he transformed, Ryota did not immediately set out to investigate the situation.

　　King Mercury is on his side, this is just speculation based on intelligence.

　　Otherwise, there was a possibility of conflict between the two sides, or rather, his guess was right.

　　However, in the face of the Mercury King's chuunibyou, who knows that this person will say "My son, let me test your stamina when you grow up", and then come up with some big moves.

　　There are too many uncertainties!

　　Ryota didn't feel comfortable.

　　Only when his endurance was abnormal enough could he feel at ease. For this, he needed to make some preparations beforehand.

　　The so-called preparation, of course, is to create a powerful "reason" based on the divinity, that is, the seven kinds of reason model, in order to expand one's combat power to infinity.

　　Beyond infinity, there are infinitely higher levels.

　　(It is possible to establish the principle of the Dusk Goddess in advance, so that when creating other principles, there is no need to worry about conflicts between the different principles.)

　　Ryota decides what to do next.

　　There must have been conflicts and struggles among the Ruler Gods.

　　This is inevitable.

　　Only the principle of the Dusk Goddess is a miracle to achieve domineering coexistence.

　　Therefore, if he wants to create various "principles" to implement, he must first establish a "reincarnation principle".

　　Fortunately with the Ming Hong Sword by his side, Ryota is no stranger to the principles of the Dusk Goddess.

　　This first step was basically not difficult for him.

　　He quickly completed the Dusk Goddess Divinity.

　　Of course this was still not enough to make him feel at ease.

Among the gods of all ages, the Dusk Goddess actually didn't stand out in battle power. No, she's not the fighting type at all.

　　If she didn't take the "throne", she might not even be able to defeat the Ruler God of the thrones in the third age.

　　(I need another, stronger 'reason' to fight.)

　　Ryota intends to continuously increase his firepower output.

　　But at this moment an accident occurred.

　　A sense of collision suddenly struck.

　　His spiritual touch instantly disappeared into the universe.

　　Ryota opened his eyes again, and in front of him was an endless ocean containing the universe.

　　This is the "throne".

　　This is a super-dimensional space that transcends matter, concepts and everything.

　　It's broken and messy.

　　Yes, the "throne" is broken for a reason.

　　The first epoch, the second epoch, the third epoch… Ruler God the thrones of all ages, their "reasons", and their times were all recorded by the "thrones".

　　Why did the Evil God from the first age reappear?

　　The answer to this question was already guessed by Ryota after he became the Master Warrior, poured out the law, penetrated the world and came to the corrupted "throne".

　　Perhaps the fragments of the shattered "throne" materialized without the Ruler God's control. Hence, the Evil God in the records came out of the lost era.

　　Tiny insignificant fragments made up the God of Ages.

　　How about big chunks?

　　Ryota looked ahead.

　　The auras of the three Ruler Gods were oppressive.

　　The divine power of the three Ruler Gods, and the shattered superdimensional space suddenly shook.

　　Ryota faced the three Ruler Gods and didn't move.

　　Although his reasoning covers two universes, the overall volume is not as good as the incarnations of the three "throne" fragments in front of him.

　　But the battle of a Ruler God was not only about external size, but more importantly, it own divinity.

　　The most typical example is the Evil God Cthulhu.

　　With the strongest divinity, even if he were to face a Ruler God of Throne who possessed all the souls in the multiverse, he could beat it to death with a single blow.

　　"Father… No, King Mercury, do you think it is necessary to continue putting on this kind of drama?"

　　Ryota's voice trembled in the superdimensional space.

　　The incarnation of the "throne" shard, despite possessing divine powers, has no will or divinity.

　　It was just an unconscious and stronger puppet.

　　It seemed that the throne could reproduce Evil Gods, but could not reproduce True Gods.

　　The presence of three Ruler Gods in front of him gave Ryota a feeling of being strong on the outside but fragile on the inside.

　　He couldn't believe that the unconscious puppet would appear right after he eliminated the Evil God and became his new enemy.

　　It's like a well-designed test.

　　There must be someone playing tricks behind it!

　　As if in response to Ryota's conjecture, a huge laugh rang out.

　　"Hahaha... My son, after countless reincarnations, you have finally reappeared before me."

　　"Countless reincarnations... What do you mean?"

　　Ryota frowned.

　　In photoelectric thinking, he immediately guessed the answer.

　　Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that his journey to becoming a Master Warrior seemed to be too smooth.

　　Collect emotions, perfect mood, collect emotions, perfect mood... never met any obstacles.

　　If the theoretically strongest divinity was so easy to clear, Cthulhu wouldn't be so crazy in the first place.

　　Could it be that... King Mercury has turned the world upside down time and time again?

　　He thought he had only experienced three world periods, but in the eyes of the Mercury King, it was just one of many times?

　　Countless reincarnations finally created a wide path to the Master Warrior.

　　"Looks like you've found the answer."

　　The Mercury King's voice sounded again.

　　"Come, my son, pass the final test, let me see if you, as a god, can overthrow the abandoned era."

　　The avatars of the three Ruler Gods before Ryota's eyes attacked.

　　"No will, nothing but appearance, only residue!"

　　Ryota glared angrily.

　　The Dusk Goddess divinity, which had just been awakened, began to function, and her body began to expand.

　　Under the seven models of "reason" and seven divine powers greeted the third avatar of the Ruler God.

　　A collision occurred that blew away all of the nearby universes.

　　During the confrontation, Ryota's momentum overpowers the third avatar of the Ruler God.

　　During the collision, the "reason" belonging to the avatar of the three Ruler Gods was sensed by him.

　　The seven emotions swirled around him, and in no time, the "reason" of the three avatars of the Ruler Gods collapsed.

　　Ryota took out the Ming Hong Sword and slashed.

　　The third avatar of the Ruler God disappeared.

　　At the same time, Ming Hong's Sword echoed the Divinity of the Dusk Goddess.

　　A large number of secret memories were passed on.

　　Ming Hong appeared with a flashing red light, and landed on Ryota's shoulder, sitting there shaking her white legs, but her eyes stared at the void in front of her with a cruel and murderous intent.

　　The bond between the two is getting stronger.

　　"King Mercury, Golden Beast, Eternal Moment… I see." Ryouta muttered.

　　Ming Hong sent a lot of fragmented information, allowing him to gather information about the fifth epoch, the era when the Dusk Goddess ruled the world.

　　He also learns about the Evil God Cthulhu.

　　In an era when the Dusk Goddess embraces the world, there is a miracle of coexistence.

　　There are three strong divine pillars, together guarding the goddess.

　　The Mercury King who controlled [Return of Eternal Tribulation].

　　The Golden Beast controls the [Highest Heaven].

　　As well as the lover of the Goddess of Dusk, Eternal Moment controls the Infinite Great Red Lotus Hell.

　　This can be said to be the most powerful era.

　　It's just that it ended up in the hands of Cthulhu.

　　From the bits and pieces of information, Ryota finds out his identity in his previous life— Eternal Moment.

　　No wonder King Mercury called him "My son".

　　Eternal Moment was an existence created by King Mercury himself.

　　Even after reincarnation, the father and son relationship is maintained.

　　It's the King of Mercury's bad taste.

　　(The situation in the fifth age has settled, but there is no information about the ending.) Ryota thought about it.

　　What happened in the final battle with Cthulhu?

　　As a result, only King Mercury survived, while Cthulhu was sealed in the 'Red Lotus Prison'.

　　(Red Lotus Prison must be referring to the Eternal Moment. He sacrificed himself to seal Cthulhu, and then the Mercury King pulled him back from the ashes of death. Is that how I reincarnated?) Ryota guessed.

　　However, those doubts remained unanswered. How could the strongest Evil God be sealed by Eternal Moment?

　　This is not something that can be done "as long as I don't want my life and fight it out".

　　The gap exists.

　　If you can't do it, you can't.

　　The answer is only King Mercury knows.

　　"Oh? It seems you have succeeded in forging divinity as the model and root. My theory has been verified…"

　　In front of Ryota, a man with long hair appeared.

　　It is King Mercury.

"In the abandoned era, I can't measure your size… Yes, it has to be like this! The divinity that can give birth to the divinity, and the sword that can extend the sharp sword, how can you do without such a level? Let me try it myself. Let's see how tall you stand now!"

　　The Mercury King was extremely excited, a distorted smile on his face.

　　A relatively complete shard of the throne appeared underneath.

　　He seemed to be sitting on it.

　　The killing intent of the "throne" – Extinction Judgment.

　　That was the thick killing intent of the entire multiverse, capable of wiping out enemies from past, present, and future parallel universes without leaving a single trace. However, Ryota's figure did not move at all.

　　The attack did hit him, but to no avail.

　　"Killing intent is nothing more than strong identification," Ryota looked at the Mercury King and said, "Any god can block it. Are you playing me, father?"

　　"That's a familiar name..." Mercury King grinned: "My son, if you can recognize this trick, it seems that you have inherited some memories. Want to know more? Then try to surpass me. After I lose, I will give you everything you want."

　　Between the conversations, a new attack formed.

　　Illusion of snakes hovering around King Mercury.

　　That's the avatar.

　　The surge of will released by the two-headed snake controls everything in the multiverse.

　　Countless universes rearranged to form the Great Cross.

　　The multidimensional tidal power, which was enough to reduce ordinary gods to ashes, hit Ryota.

　　Ryota frowned, feeling his divinity shake.

　　This kind of attack was enough to form a god-slaying punch.

　　"Snort..."

　　Ryota grunted heavily, and the divinity started working.

　　The information fragment in the mind was summoned.

　　The strongest defense is formed.

　　The Mercury King's great cross no longer had any effect.

　　At the same time. On Ryota's right shoulder, Ming Hong who was infected by fighting spirit, looked at the Mercury King, raised her fist, and let out a threatening roar.

　　"Oh? Beloved goddess, this posture is not very good."

　　Mercury King and Ming Hong met their gazes.

　　"As expected, is Ming Hong the reincarnation of the Dusk Goddess?" Ryota asked.

　　"Hehe... the answer comes after the victory, my son."

　　King Mercury did not answer directly.

　　The attacks continued.

　　He moved the past multiverse to the present.

　　The two conflicting worlds have given rise to the ultimate contradiction that endangers the existence of the two worlds.

　　In order to eliminate this kind of danger, a world suppressing force with the universe as its unit was formed, manipulated by the Mercury King, and all of them attacked Ryota.

　　Only for one purpose, destroy him!

　　Unfortunately, this trick is easily prevented.

　　Not even a spark.

　　"King Mercury, you have lost your chance."

　　Ryota activates the seven divinities he created.

　　Except for the Evil God Cthulhu, the "principles" of the gods of all epochs concentrated on him.

　　Now he represents invincibility.

　　Just with the momentum, the entire super-dimensional space was shaken, as if it was about to be even more completely destroyed.

　　The divine power of the two Ruler Gods collided.

　　The disastrous results came immediately.

　　The "throne" behind the Mercury King was broken. His aura suddenly weakened, but he laughed loudly:

　　"Hahaha... Excellent!"

　　"My son, you have surpassed all the past gloriously."

　　Ryota stopped the attack.

　　"Then, must you tell me the answer? Or do you just want to fight?"

　　"No, my battle is over."

　　The Mercury King waved his hand.

　　Ryota felt a tug.

　　He didn't resist or get in the way.

　　In the next instant, the surrounding scenery changed.

　　His spiritual touch emerges in the modern world.

　　Ryota immediately recognized that this was the world before his transformation.

　　In an atmosphere of familiarity and nostalgia, the conversation started.

　　...

　　The truth of the facts is not far from Ryota's guess.

　　Ming Hong was indeed the reincarnation of the Dusk Goddess, and he was also the reincarnation of Eternal Moment.

　　No wonder he felt a strange feeling when he saw Ming Hong, for that was a lingering feeling from his previous life, not the paedophile attribute he possessed.

　　But he and Ming Hong were already completely different people who had nothing to do with his previous life.

　　The Goddess of Dusk and the Eternal Moment was buried in the past by Cthulhu.

　　Cthulhu— An existence that yearns for "I just want to live alone".

　　The law is a world where all life in the world kill each other to the last person.

　　He believed that the most exalted existence in the heavens and the world was himself, so everything but himself had to die.

　　This is arguably the most evil principle in history which is dominated by insane narcissism.

　　Originally, this kind of desire would only make Cthulhu become a Tao Seeking God, immersed in a world of narcissism, without contact with the outside world, and would not harm the outside world.

　　Even if it causes harm, it's fine that the Tao Seeking God only has the scale of one universe, and he is absolutely not the opponent of the Ruler God.

　　But things backfired.

　　On Cthulhu's body, there is a conscious cyst.

　　Cyst's oppression continues to get in the way of Cthulhu's desire to "just want to live alone."

　　Thus, in reincarnation, the will is continuously expanding, and this self-love is continuously being superimposed.

　　The more irritated the cyst, the more it swells.

　　Slowly forming killing intent to destroy everything.

Tao Seeking God gradually turned domineering.

　　His self-love, so extreme that nothing can beat him, has created his invincible godhead.

　　Tao Seeking God and Ruler God. Hence, he condensed a boundless universe within his own body, and continued to expand. His concentration was compressed to such an extent, that he possessed invincible strength.

　　There is no doubt that Cthulhu is the strongest among the gods of all ages. But in the fifth epoch, there were gods who were also quite special.

　　It is the Eternal Moment.

　　The "reason" is to stop the world and keep the happiness forever.

　　Once on the "throne", the multiverse would fall into eternal stagnation.

　　Few people who want to spend time with him can move in this world.

　　The possibility of a new god being born has been minimized.

　　The "reasons" seem beautiful, but they are actually hell.

　　His divinity like Cthulhu's, could grow, but not as big as Cthulhu's.

　　The longer Eternal Moment spent with his lover, the Dusk Goddess, the more happiness he got, and the stronger his "reason" became.

　　At first, Eternal Moment was inferior to Mercury King. However, during the reign of the Dusk Goddess, he grew even more.

　　When Cthulhu appeared, he had grown to a level that far surpassed the gods of all ages.

　　It can be said that Eternal Moment is the strongest dominant god except for Cthulhu.

　　Although he is still not Cthulhu's opponent, but with his "reason" quirk, he is equal to the strongest defense and can survive Cthulhu's attacks.

　　In that last war.

　　With the help of the three Ruler Gods, the Dusk Goddess embraced Cthulhu's cyst.

　　Cyst consciousness reincarnated, Cthulhu lost the characteristic of being able to grow and evolve continuously. However, the Dusk Goddess also died in this embrace.

　　Crazy Eternal Moments fights the two remaining Ruler Gods to fight against a weakened Cthulhu.

　　The Golden Beast was quickly killed.

　　King Mercury was knocked out with a few hits.

　　The aftermath of the battle tore the "throne".

　　The Eternal Moment snatched away the shard of the "throne" that recorded the 'reason' of the Goddess of Dusk, wrapped in the remnants of love, began to grow continuously, and continued to fight against Cthulhu seven thousand years later.

　　In the end, by sacrificing his divinity, he created the stagnant "Red Lotus Prison", trapping Cthulhu.

　　Only King Mercury who was seriously injured survived. Unfortunately, he was unable to reverse everything.

Even though [Return of Eternal Tribulation] could reset the world and allow the dead to reappear.

　　But the Ruler God had transcended the timeline. If the entire multiverse is not reversed, the Ruler Gods cannot be reproduced.

　　Cthulhu's existence, like a nail, nailed time, making [Return of Eternal Tribulation] unable to affect the entire multiverse.

　　Everything is irreparable.

　　King Mercury can only collect everyone's remaining soul shards and arrange reincarnation.

　　This is how it all happened.

　　...

　　Ryota left the world of King Mercury.

　　Now that the "throne" is broken, the integrity of the world has been lost, which is equivalent to being separated. Therefore, many Ruler Gods coexist, and they will not go to war like fate.

　　He and the Mercury King had no reason to fight.

　　He already knew everything about Cthulhu.

　　Cthulhu already stood at the pinnacle of Divinity power.

　　As an enemy, it was a hopeless existence.

　　But to him now, it was nothing.

　　Because by the time he completed the "Seven Divinity", the outcome had already been decided, and the only condition for the decision that remained was time.

　　Ryota can operate through divinity, allowing some of his desires to reach the extreme, and forging divinity at the top.

　　At that time, he would possess the power of Cthulhu, standing on equal footing with the opponent.

　　For two people with equal strength, whichever one could win depended on whose move was the odd one out.

　　Cthulhu has only pure strength, and he has whatever "reason" he wants, and he has no shortage of means of attack.

　　This is the first strategy method.

　　Ryota also thought about the second option.

　　In the beginning, there was only one universe in this world.

　　Time travel to the third epoch, enabling the birth of a second universe.

　　In the fourth epoch, King Mercury's wish to transcend death and time gave birth to countless parallel universes, and the worlds became the Multiverse. Therefore, after the fourth epoch, every Ruler God on the "throne" will have a multidimensional body out of thin air.

　　"Master Warrior can create the strongest god, not just talk..."

　　Ryota raised his head and looked at the Red Lotus Prison.

　　...

　　[The Adventurer's Guild is looking forward to your joining, do you agree?]

　　[Yes / No]

　　One day, an illusory light screen appeared before Kurumi's eyes.

　　Two lines of large characters appeared on the bright screen.

　　Knowing the existence of the Adventurer's Guild, she agreed without hesitation.

　　The first time she became a member of the guild, she received an invitation to join the team.

　　It was sent by the member nicknamed "Shiro".

　　"No wonder those people call you Shiro-chan."

　　The corners of Kurumi's mouth twitched.

　　After agreeing to join the team, she skillfully set up her bedroom door as the door to the team base based on the information she obtained.

　　Upon arriving at the base, she saw Ryota sitting at the bar.

　　Going forward and patting Ryota on the shoulder, Kurumi asked: "The Adventurers' Guild should already be yours?"

　　"No, the Adventurers' Guild was created by the Mercury King, and operates with full intelligence. I think it's good, I have no intention of becoming the owner."

　　Ryota turned around and explained: "I just saw that you were staying at home recently, and you seemed to be bored, so I disturbed the guild system a little and sent you an invitation."

　　"Because there is no work, I can only stay at home. This invitation has come at the right time." Kurumi smiled lightly: "About my parents, thank you."

　　"Don't be so polite," Ryota waved his hand, "I promised you before that I would help you save them."

　　"Evil God…"

　　"Your parents are back, what do you think of the Evil God?" Ryota smiled: "Don't worry, there is no more danger in this world."

　　Even though Ryota didn't say it clearly, Kurumi already knew the result.

　　The Evil God Cthulhu is dead.

　　So the souls of her parents were released and brought back to life.

　　"So you are now the strongest Ruler God?" Kurumi asked jokingly.

　　"No," Ryota shook his head: "I have changed my nature, and now I am Tao Seeking God. What you saw was not a spiritual feeling."

　　At this time, another teleport light flashed at the base.

　　The two turned to look, and a stunning silver-haired girl appeared in their field of vision.

　　"Kei, here."

　　Ryota beckoned.

　　Kei is coming.

　　"Nii-san, is this the mysterious organization you mentioned?"

　　Kei looked around.

　　Even though she already knew this base well, after joining the Adventurer's Guild, as a member, she felt that everything was new.

　　Immediately, one after another the teleportation lights flashed.

　　More and more people gathered at the headquarters.

　　Ryota heard Ishtar's cheerful voice from far away.

　　"Hah? There are so many people who came to take quests today, all of you are so spare?"

　　"There are so many people every day. That's because you are usually too lazy, and you even put off adventures after losing the pressure. You really don't have any ambition."

Ereshkigal who was standing beside her complained.

　　"How do you know that there are so many people every day… Wait! You slipped away!?"

　　Ishtar was shocked and angry.

　　"Hmph, you didn't take the initiative yourself, who is to blame?" Ereshkigal replied with a red face.

　　"Oh? That woman didn't come today," Hayasaka's voice sounded a little happy.

　　"Did you say Misaki?" Ishtar said, "I heard that she's been eating a lot of sweets recently and has gained quite a bit of weight… Could it be because of this? There are so many problems for humans."

　　"Is the god not bothered?"

　　Hayasaka glanced faintly at Ishtar's chest.

　　Of course, she didn't say it out loud.

　　Misaki didn't come, she was in a really good mood, so she wouldn't complain about Ishtar today.

　　(She seems to have a lean body... Hehe, let's eat sweets again!) The corners of Hayasaka's lips curled up.

　　Several people came to Ryota's side and said hello.

　　Hayasaka asked: "By the way, Shiro-chan, what adventure is this of yours?"

　　"The 72nd time."

　　Ryota said excitedly: "After this time, if I go on adventures 28 times, I will collect 100 times. At that time, I will know everything and become a god who dominates everything."

　　"You are very bored?" Ishtar complained.

　　"You don't understand, Ishtar." Ryota shook his head: "It is my dream to be the first person to go through 100 adventures and get the highest prize. Although I got the reward before, but the process was lost, but the process is very important, and I have to make up for it."

　　"…Forget it, as long as you are happy."

　　Ishtar only played Ryota.

　　"Okay, time is up, let's stop gossiping."

　　Seeing that the teleportation light was no longer on, Ryota got up and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

　　Facing everyone's eyes, he announced:

　　"The adventure begins."

This book is over.
