1/9
With this, all the past mories of the Emperor stored within the Philosopher's Stone had co to an end.
Although Reji could guess so of these secret contents, after truly experiencing it from the perspective of the Emperor, it was not difficult for him to understand Freya's final descent into darkness.
The core point was that the Hero was being manipulated by humans.
Indeed, in the ga, he was like a puppet, every step having to follow the planned main storyline.
If all of this was the plan of the Evil God, then everything made sense.
From the information in the second playthrough, the Evil God did not have a physical form and was more like a concept - the end of cultivation is distortion.
Under this concept.
The more the living beings in the dinsional universe strived to cultivate magic power, the more they actually moved towards the abyss and distortion.
If there was no external interference.
It was believed that before long, all the races in the world would beco like the Blood Race in the beginning. The end of the ninth rank was not ascension, but becoming the offspring of the Evil God, a kind of flesh and blood monster.
Under this concept, the existence of the demon race was more like a self-protection chanism from the dinsions.
Just like white blood cells.
The Evil God would cause normal cells (civilizations) to grow out of control, and the demon race would suppress them before they had the tendency to cancerize.
Those worlds destroyed one by one by the demon race.
In fact, they were all worlds that had been distorted and polluted by the Evil God and were on the verge of offspringization.
So in order to achieve its goal, the Evil God. Had to eradicate the demon race.
Only after the demon race was eliminated could the other races in the dinsional universe begin to develop rampantly without any scruples.
The more developed a civilization beca, the more it would be interfered with by the power of the Evil God, the more it would move towards distortion, and eventually beco its offspring.
Thus, the ga Magic Chronicles was born.
Using "Descended" to defeat "Descended" was the answer given by the Evil God.
The previous Star Spirit Goddess shouting that she was the Evil God.
In a sense, it might not have been wrong.
After seeing the Emperor's mories, Reji was very certain that the Hero's power itself ca from the Evil God.
The entire ga was like a script written by the Evil God.
It was the opportunity for the Evil God to truly "hatch" from a concept into "It".
A Saintess who deeply loved the Hero, hated the demon race, and eventually beca filled with despair towards the world, humans, and everything, was the best vessel for the Evil God.
Logically speaking. Such a vast and complex secret would be difficult for anyone to accept, and its impact could even directly lead to a breakdown.
That's why the previous Freya was so afraid to explore the mories and seek the truth of the Emperor.
Although the current Saintess was also very shocked, feeling lost and helpless, unlike the Emperor in her previous life.
After all, this ti, by her side, it was no longer the Hero as a player, but the Hero as Reji.
Or to put it more accurate, It was the Demon King and Hero as Reji.
…
A few months later.
A grand auction was being held.
Countless nobles gathered together, determined to obtain the final auction item.
After all, it was the divine artifact that they had forced the Hero to hand over with great difficulty.
The branch of the World Tree that symbolized the Hero's authority!
After the academy competition, with Reji winning the title and the Radiant Temple announcing his identity as the Hero, the Hero officially entered the public eye.
But just like in the previous history.
No one believed in the calamity.
No one was willing to help the Hero.
On the contrary.
Everyone hoped that the Hero would hand over his authority and share his power.
And this ti.
Reji readily agreed.
He not only shared the so-called cultivation laws.
He even handed over his weapon.
So, at the auction, one noble and prince after another competed until their faces turned red, shouting loudly, all for the sake of that small branch in the exquisite box on the stage.
Thanks to Reji's persistence.
Always using only the small branch as a weapon in every battle.
This made them firmly believe that the Hero relied on this to dominate everything.
The branch was the Hero's authority!
No matter which world line, the nobles were all the sa. Greedy desire was human nature, and nobility was just an amplifier. This was also the reason why Freya ultimately despaired and beca the "Emperor".
In the previous life, the Hero was unable to change anything and could only continue to be a slave to humans, a toy for the nobles, following the storyline.
But this ti.
"Wait, wait! What's that sound!"

"An earthquake? Earthquake!!"
"Everyone, look at the sky, what is that!"
"The sky has cracked open? This, no, it seems like sothing is pouring out from inside!"
Fierce winds began to sweep across the land.
One dinsional rift after another tore through the sky.
The flas of calamity scattered across the world.
The demon race had descended.
This scene happened much, much earlier than in the mories.
Cries.
Screams.
Pleas for help.
"Hero, where is the Hero!"
"Monsters, ah, save , save !"
"It, it's really true? The calamity, the doomsday, no... no..."
"Don't be afraid! Quickly use the Hero's power!"
In the midst of fear, there were still so who maintained a bit of reason.
Over these years, by forcing Reji to hand over the "cultivation" thods, their strength had soared and their magic power had beco incredibly strong.
They didn't hate the Hero.
They hated that the Hero wasn't themselves.
Now, Reji had satisfied the desires of these nobles, allowing them and the many humans who coveted the Hero's power to obtain the so-called Hero's power.
In short, Reji had included them all in the "Companion" system.
This way, they could grow their magic power like crazy.
But they wouldn't be distorted and mutated.
After all, the Hero's authority ca from the Evil God, and the so-called companion system was actually a variant of the "Offspring" system.
This also explained why in the Emperor storyline, with the disappearance of the Hero, those companions imdiately began to mutate one by one.
The Hero's power ca with a price.
Reji quickly made these people understand this principle.
He opened the panel, and as he removed all the "Companions", at that mont, the people who thought they had obtained the Hero's power suddenly underwent changes.
"My body... my body..."
"What's happening to my arm... what is this... ah!"
"Tumors, tumors are growing out? Disgusting, sothing is squirming, get off, get off !"
"Aaargh..."
This ti, there was no Hero to save them anymore.
But they didn't really need to be saved either.
In an instant, all the nobles who had been tainted by the Hero's power, their forces, organizations, religions, and kingdoms, were all enveloped by the Evil God's pollution. The Hero's power they had stolen from Reji ultimately beca the source of their demise.
But this could be considered a contribution to humanity.
They, who had beco flesh and blood monsters, successfully blocked the army of evil demons led by Lordan.
This greatly reduced the pressure on the human kingdoms that truly believed in the Hero and had long been preparing for the calamity.
Similarly, it also bought ti for Reji's upcoming eting with the "Apostles".
