Just one step.

　I knew immediately what it meant.
　First, the dizziness caused by the high concentration of 'Demonic Poison' struck.
　Furthermore, the stagnant water began to stick to and erode the surface of the soul, ignoring the clothes and touching the skin, ignoring the flesh.

　The stagnant water turns out to be a collection of souls.
　Like someone who unintentionally steps on an ant, it tries to swallow the diminutive soul it comes in contact with with its massive mass.

　Even just a single drop of water is huge and more profound than my soul, which has grown to this point - I felt another new 'world' inside.

　It is on the same scale as the Original World and the Other World, and it is a new "world".

　Even more frighteningly, I could sense that there was another new world in the water inside that new world as well. Moreover, like a puppet of multiple structures (Matryoshka), the new world is continuously observed - and the world is also in the water of the world within the water within the new world.

It was compulsory, and I couldn't stop the expansion of perception at my will - so there was a world in the water of that world in the water of that world in the water of the world in the water - and so there was a world in the water of that world in the water. That there was a world in the water of that world in the water of that world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water.
　Furthermore, that there was a world in the water of that water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world. And furthermore, that there was a world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of that water. That there was a world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world. There was a world in the water of that world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world. There was a world in the water of that world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world. There was a world in the water of that world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world in the water of the world.

Inside the World of Water in the Middle in the waters of the of the world's waters in the Water in the World Water in the World Water in the World Water in the World The World's Water in the World in the The World's Water in the World White, white, white, white, white and--.

'............!　Heh: ......

　My mind is going blank.
　For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm going blank.

　That's a lot of information.
　Right now, my information processing ability has been enhanced by the status of 'Smart'. Depending on the situation, I can increase the amount of "massless auxiliary brain" with "magic power conversion (level up)" as I please. And yet, I was shaken to my knees by the amount of information from the water that was tangled from under my feet.

　I look up.
　From my vision alone, all I see is a wide shoal of water.
　No, from behind the throne, the bottom seems to gradually deepen.
　So let's call it a black ocean, not a shallow water from here on out.

　Even if it is, it's just an ocean.
　Just stepping into it, my feet were cold - heavy, painful, bitter, smelly, wide, cumbersome, old, itchy, spicy, black and miscellaneous and enormous information was transmitted to my brain.

'I see: ......'

　Every time I touch it, it loses its boundaries with my soul and tries to mix and meld with me.
　In short, it's an assimilating natural trap on a large scale.
　I knew it was a repository of infinite "demonic poison" and souls, but it seemed to be pregnant with this kind of danger.

　Just this ankle-deep water level alone was extremely multilayered, deeper and wider than the hundred layers of the labyrinth so far. However, thanks to the experience of using 《Distance Mute》 and 《Past Vision》 and reading other people's lives, it was within an acceptable range. Perhaps it was also because of the reliving of Yangtaki's suffering and Tiara's persistence, but there was also a little room for analysis.

　Noi, who had been watching the scene from behind, would add to the analysis, albeit between the boundaries.

'My first image was of an endless sea at night. Maybe Kanami sees it the same way. A very dangerous abyss that goes on forever and peers back at you. --This is what I called the 'deepest part'.
'I see the exact same 'deepest'. Probably most people see it the same way.
Now, I wouldn't recommend pushing through the 'deepest part' of it. ...... Even when I was still standing, three steps were my limit. By the fourth step, I felt like I wasn't being me anymore, so I came back.
Only three steps in Noi?
...... For your information, a thousand years ago Tiara Hoosier's went further back. From my perspective, it looked like they took about five steps forward?　I was watching from this side of the room, so it wasn't clear.
'You tried Tiara too? Sure, she said she came once, but ......, what a quandary.

　However, even in the 'Magic Tiara' that crossed that yang waterfall, it was five steps.
　Definitely, it wouldn't be a simple matter of being five times deeper than the first step.

''No, I think it's more amazing to me that you're unperturbed by even the first step: ....... Doesn't that sound like a lot of miserable lives being smashed up against you?　Are you sure you're okay there?

　Noi paled as he saw me continue to stand at the first step and think about it.

　If you create an external auxiliary brain or use a number of thinking skills such as 'Parallel Thinking', the first step can be handled semi-automatically. It's still more difficult to have your mind full of 'Rustyala' in 'Constriction'.

　As for me, I'd like to make sure that I'm light here, to make sure I'm up to those three steps, but ...... it's not something that can be tried so easily, and Noi had a stern look in her eyes and shook her head.

　I trust her caution.
　If she was going to take the second step, she would at least have to change her body from flesh and blood to magic.
　Just as she was getting ready to do so, a cheerful and loud voice came from further behind Noi.

''This, this is the 'deepest part' -?　It's like being in a crowd. I'm not very good at this kind of thing.

　It was Kounell's voice.
　I turned around and saw her coming towards us, with Serdra leading the way as a shield.
　Serdra proceeded to protect her while being wary of her surroundings.

'Does she look a little different from when she came before?　......, but the fundamentals haven't changed. Kounel, don't ever get in front of me. The wave will take you, soul and all.
Heeeeeeeeeeeee. ......

　Thanks to the path Noi made and the lights, we arrive pretty early.

　I get to my feet and move from the back of the throne to greet my subordinates who must have passed through the 99 layers of Connection.
　However, it wasn't me who called out to them first, but Noi, who was leaning on the armrest of the throne.

'Mr. Kounell, this isn't the 'deepest part' yet.
............?

　It was a casual call.
　But when Kounell turned his eyes to us, he went completely rigid.

　I've never met Noi next to me before.
　He looked like an adult Ragne Kaikwola, but I guess he intuitively understood who it was.

'In the lore, this may have been the 'deepest' part, but that's a wrong description. No, well, that's just how I spread it around.
'Oh, you are ......, if you are ....... Haha!

　Immediately, Kounell fell flat on the cobblestone road.
　It was a magnificent prostration.

'...... kuunel, it's not kuru.'

　I'm not surprised that Kounell has the gall to play a joke here.
　She would serve in the 'Senate' or as a clown (clown) if she wanted to survive. What surprised me was that Noi had the time to adjust to that over the top reaction.

　Perhaps it was thanks to the fact that he had regained his resolve after dealing with Maria's sun earlier.
　At home, he didn't run and hide, and he seemed to be very strong there.

I've been told that I'm the one who has reached the deepest part of the universe, which is a lie. After all, this is only the surface of the deepest part. No, to be precise, it's just before.　The whole time I've been alone and devastated in 'Before the Deepest': ....... There was no way I could go any further: ....... I'm a disappointing, heartbroken loser: ......

　He stared at the back of the throne I had been standing on earlier and laughed dryly, haha.
　Then, with my knees propped up, I started playing with the shallow water.

'Because that was enough here. We didn't need to go any further back. I'm sure Mr. Kounell will understand. The area around this throne I've created is a special one, as it's been successfully defaultered. I've been able to interfere with all the souls in my world, and that's more than enough. At least I had complete control over my birth. ...... back in the day.

　Then, chirping and chirping, he scooped up the water with his palm and stirred it up.
　Ripples ripple and shimmer on the surface of the water, and what is projected is not a hundred layers - but a scene from somewhere far away.

　Like a screen, a grand festival is projected on the screen. The familiar faces of the Allies, such as the "Celestial Knights" and others, can be seen, and Kounell can tell that it is the "End of Tale Festival" on earth.

　And once again, as Noi scratched the surface of the water, it changed to another scene.
　Now we see the cathedral where the priests are hurriedly working around during that 'end-tan festival'.

　The images on the surface of the water seem to be free at Noi's will.
　Earlier I thought the hundred layers were like the lens of an eye, but I thought the surface of the water around this throne was like the retina.

　But that metaphor is not accurate.
　That's what we read from Noi's words, "We can interfere".

　The surface of the water in this 'before the deepest part' acts as a pseudo 'dimension' and even ignores the distance through a pseudo 'default' -- if you want to reach out, you can probably reach it.

　--This is the place that is connected to the soul of the entire world.

　It seems I'm not the only one who understood this, and Feydert, who came from further behind Kounell, asks a question.

'The strange water here is responsible for our birth and death ......?　Does that mean that we are connected not only to the souls of the dead, but also to the living on earth?

　However, it was not Noi who answered it, but Apostle Diprakra, who was walking alongside him.

Feydert, you are right. ...... But this is the surface only. It is our understanding that this shallow water is the surface of the collective soul.
'Hyo, is it only the surface ....... The surface of all souls: ......

　Feydert looks around with a troubled look on his face at the response, but looks around with interest. Then Kounel, who looks even more curious and excited than he is, picks up the rest of the conversation.

'The surface?　Hmm?　...... No, I think it's just about right on the surface, and I'm sure you're right too!　I mean, what I'm wondering about in terms of expectations - after all, if I sit there, will I be the ruler of humanity?　That's the story. Hehehe, no, no, no, I never have any other intentions!

　That too direct and down-to-earth question is responded to by the last person in the group.
　The Apostle Sith, who was walking at the tail end of the group, answers confidently.

''Yes, Kounel!　Sit there, and you will be the ruler of humanity!　A true ruler, not just of humanity, but of all life, including monsters!　And more importantly, places and even concepts!　Anyway, I'm just going to give you the perception, sensibly, that it's a throne that connects you to the whole world!

　It seems that my men have all arrived as planned.
　After confirming that, Noi summarizes the story so far.

''Yes. It's a good thing that you're sitting there, it means that you're above all things. However, as the 'price' of that power, the responsibility of circulating the 'Demon Poison' is also born. As you can see, if we leave it unchecked, the muddy water will flow to the other side without limit. If it is overlooked, it will become a dark cloud on the ground. The cycling work of this is really delicate, difficult, extensive and sustained ...... but with just a slight mistake, the ground is flooded with powerful monsters, the babies become demons, and humanity is close to death. It's a job that ...... normal nerves can't do. At the very least, it would be impossible without the Dimension.

　Pointing to the throne, Noi sneered, saying he would sit down if he could.
　Kounel was frightened by this, but re-focused his attention on the water at his own feet.

'Juju, circulation work ....... I've heard of it. If you ask me, from a while ago, there's a zany and not-so-good feeling wave from underneath my feet... ...... It's getting stronger and stronger!
"Mr. Kounell, this throne is a landmark. You shouldn't get too close to it. Except for Seldra, this murky water is dangerous.

　Hearing that advice, Kounel retreated with him, tugging at the hem of Seldra's clothes. The fact that he has no intention of letting go of the shield (Seldra) means that he may not yet consider Noi as an ally deep down.

　Facing the situation, Noi took a breath.
　I guess he thought all the advice he needed was done.

　Let's get to the point.
　'Lord of the World,' to the main topic as Noi.

'A long time ago ......, that was a long time ago for you guys. I've been here before with my old friends (all of them) like this. And only I, who had the proper dimensional attributes, was able to serve as the 'Lord of the World'. ...... No, if it's that Hitaki or Tiara or something like that, I could manage to do it in a messy way even without the 《Dimension》. ...... Basically, it is made so that only dimensional wizards can serve as the 'Lord of the World'.

　I'll talk about it in bits and pieces.
　It's not the trust in us that has brought us all here, that has led to the release of these 100 layers of information one after another.

　I realize now that I've already given myself over completely to the flow.
　Maybe the fight with Maria didn't make Noi prepare himself for the battle, but only pushed him to his limits.

'All sorts of problems are stacked up in these 100 layers ...... and if we move beyond this throne, we can do something about them at the root ....... Essentially, the 'Lord of the World' is not just about playing on these surface areas. Go to the source of this murky wave. Deeper than this throne. We should have gone to the true 'deepest' part of the world. The truth is: ......

　Noi turned her weary eyes to the back of the throne.
　But when she finished explaining, she turned her dry smile back to her minions.

'Only, we don't need to worry about that anymore. Kanami-kun will be going to the 'deepest part' for me. ...... A little late to the party, Sith, but I'm glad you're here, Diplacra. You have done a great job of bringing Kanami-kun here. I'm glad you did.

　The Sith responded to that exertion with a deviantly quick response.

'No, no--not Lord!　It's me!　This time, I brought Kanami with me, this Apostle Sith!　It really was a lot of stuff, but we worked hard anyway!
Yeah, I know. I've been watching you for a long time. It would be the Sith who most faithfully fulfilled the role of an apostle ....... Of course, you did your best with the Diprakra. And I've been watching your fights for your patience as well.

　The Sith looked elated at the praise and smiled a big smile.
　In contrast, Tipurakula remained reluctant.

''I'm sorry, my Lord. ...... Above all, I am ashamed that one of our apostles is not here now.
'I'm sorry to hear about Legacy. But there's nothing wrong with that. I never expected him to get a result in the first place, I always expected both of you to do well. I always had high hopes for the two of you.

　A thousand years ago, the one person Noi had hoped for the most was Legacie.
　After being betrayed by that Legacy, she couldn't trust the other two apostles.
　I was dismayed by Noi's duplicity in not even letting me know where they were - but now I know it's more than that, so I won't talk about interacting with the apostles.

'Then let's begin the ritual immediately. Incidentally, this isn't the only ceremony for the 'Lord of the World' change. There's more to it, Kanami. It will also be a ceremony to gain the strength to go into the abyss I've given up on.

　And the time will come.

　There have been many irregularities along the way, but we've been able to 'adjust'.
　Everyone is here to watch the handover as the triumph comes to an end.
　I've dropped everything and 'planned' for this moment.

'Now, I want you to sit down. Kanami, ...... no, the new 'Lord of the World'.

　Noi invited me to walk.
　I stand in front of a large stone throne - and finally, I look out at the view from there.

　This is the 100th layer I've been aiming for all along.
　The view from the throne at the center of it.

　Black shallows and black skies.
　I could see a straight, cobblestone road, with unsuitable furniture floating on either side.
　Tall candlesticks lined the ends of the road and ...... nothing else of note.

　This is my home from today.
　And the Connection, which connects the 99th layer at the end of the path of light, is the entrance and will be the final line of defense for the Plan.
　The seven people here will be the mainstay of the defense line.

　Noi, the former "The One Who Stole the Logic of Dimension", is a collaborator of the "Plan" and has a clear understanding of all aspects of the plan.
　His faithful followers, the Sith and Diprakra, the Apostles, who have taken control of the Levantine religion on earth.
　The last gatekeeper at the 99th level, Serdra, the one who steals the truth of nothingness.
　It is also a good idea to make sure that you have the right tools to do so.
　It's the Faydert, the custodian of the Fouzeya's Cathedral, which unites the knights and priests of the earth.
　Lastly, the 'Senate' Kounel, who is in charge and controls the entire Confederation.

　The seven people who specialize in their respective fields are all here now.
　The number seven makes the words 'Celestial Knights' come to mind. However, I immediately shake my head. Maria is sleeping on the bed there, and the Reapers are there too. Tiara's 'prophecy' doesn't matter.

　I've surpassed Tiara. I've surpassed Yotaki, too. So I'm alone.
　I'm alone and I've arrived here.
　From here on out, it's all over.

'Oh, Noi. I'm taking over. From now on, I'm going to be the 'Lord of the World'.

　I answered and sat down.

　It wasn't as comfortable as I imagined it would be.
　It was a craggy stone chair, but the fact that it was in this place meant a lot.

　I could feel the ripples from my feet on the ground.
　It's slow, but it's filled with billions of souls.
　It's thinner than the black ocean I just touched, but it's eating away at my body and distorting every vessel of my soul.

　I turn my attention to the vessels in my body.

　First, my own magical stone. The same shape as Lagune.
　Yotaki and Tiara. Then Tida, Rowen, Ayda, Titi, and Nosfi.
　And finally, Arti.

　Originally, we wouldn't have needed this many, but we took every precaution and arranged ten of them.
　On top of that, we even have Arti, beyond the original 'plan'.

　With more than enough vessels and circulating ability, he absorbed all of Ren's 'Demon Poison' and took in all the information that was transmitted to him.

　Compared to the back of the throne, this place was very easy.
　Every drop of water was thin, clean, narrow, quiet, and just rightly comfortable.

　I was well adjusted to my current body.
　There was plenty of room in my mind.

　When I was rather in control, I let more than one 'thread' drip off the hem of my clothes.
　Creating artificial ripples on the water surface, not ripples, but artificial ripples.

　In the middle of this process, I was reminded of Yangtaki, a thousand years ago.
　Whenever I went out of the country on my "adventure", he was always waiting for me in the garden of the castle, waiting for me to return. There, he would stretch out countless white threads and manipulate all the currents of the other world - creating a huge white vortex in the garden to surprise Tiara on her return.

　That same thing, I would build a hundred-layered throne around it.
　The shallow water under my feet interferes with my 'thread' and slowly changes its motion.
　Instead of the ripples in one direction, I start to move a little to the side as well. And before I know it, the shallows are joined by a purple color and become a huge black-purple vortex.

　The current was not fast.
　It is slow, very slow. For my men in line here, it must have been easier to stand than it was earlier.

　Touching the wave, Diprakra, who had been watching the situation up to this point, begins to sob.
　Everyone's eyes widen, but they are shushed silent, but he is the only one with tears in his eyes, and he can't bear to let the words out.

''Ah, ah, ....... Aaaaahhhh ......, then. Unable to do so, we went to earth a thousand years ago. It's a beautiful vortex, the same ...... as our Lord's, or even more so. After all, Kanami's body and soul were already at their ......!　By the time of that 'last battle', it was already ......!

　While talking, I kneeled down, shook my body and started to pray.
　It's exactly the same posture as the 'Jewelcrus' who worship me on earth.

　Noi next to me tapped Diprakra's trembling shoulder.
　She too was trembling a bit, but she shook her head to encourage him.

Di Prakula, I know how you feel. This 'peace of mind' is what we've always wanted ....... But that's the 'plan'. The first thing to do is to follow the plan and declare it. It's not just a matter of time before you're ready to go. -- Now, celebrate with the Sith.

　It was a gentle tone of voice. But it was also a command that included a goodbye.

　Diprakra nodded back, shaking off the tears.
　He emphatically undertakes to fulfill his last task as an apostle.

　He released his posture of prayer and stood next to Noi in line.
　The movement was followed by Sith as one of the apostles.
　And as he praised me on the throne.
　Sis and Diprakra join their voices together.

''--Now, on the 100th layer of the labyrinth, the 'Lord of the World' has returned.'''　

　Sis quietly and deeply.
　Diprakra is to be exalted.
　The ritual will be performed.

"The name of the Lord of that new world is 'Kanami'. A boy of 'Gentile' summoned from a different world--
"My brother 'Kanami' is the one who became the perfect vessel, surpassing that Hitaki, that Tiara, and even the 'Masters of the World' of the previous generation--

　Alternate.
　Congratulatory words (Norito) are spun.

　Of course, this is not just a proclamation to the seldom-mentioned seldom-mentioned seldom-mentioned seldom-mentioned seldom-mentioned seldom-mentioned seldom-mentioned.
　First, to these 100 layers.
　To the filled gazes.
　And to the souls on earth who are connected to the surface of the water.

　--to all of this 'other world'.

　The two apostles seemed to be standing on a stage as they proclaimed.
　Instead of a priest reciting the lyrics, they continued to dialogue with each other, as if performed by actors who had read the script carefully.

''The deepest vessel on this continent will swallow up the 'demonic poison' to the depths of the stars. Hence, the darkness will never again spill over this land.
"This made vessel of 'ideals' will circulate every 'demonic poison'. Hence, it will never again choose whom its hands will scoop up.
"For it has inherited the soul of the thief of all reason. We call it the Stealer of the Stars.
"For he who has inherited everything has become the savior of the world. And we call him God.
And there will be no more puppets born contrary to the teachings of God. The mission of our Apostle is now over.
'Yes, no more ......!　Our apostle's longing has been granted here!　--But not yet!　There's more to come!　The pages counted a hundred, but the next story was waiting for me!　We were given a continuation by God!　The new 'Lord of the World' said he was going 'beyond'!
The 'beyond' is beyond the 'deepest'. It's a realm that not even the 'Lord of the World' of all time has been able to reach. A path without a path, so ...... the Lord has sworn.
Therefore, 'Kanami' becomes 'magic'!　Magic itself!　I choose to reach the real 'magic'!
The name 'Kanami' will be discarded. The name 'Kanami' will be discarded, and the cage of her flesh will be thrown off. Her soul will not be a stone, but a Magillard.　
The MagiRule is beyond all reason!　Transcending dimensions to become the most sacred law in the world!　God, because of God!
This is the 'miracle' that all of us have wished for, hoped for, and revered since the beginning of time. It is the very 'dream' that all of mankind has been watching. ......
It will be 'the magic that makes everyone happy'. ......!　"As 'magic,' you can help us remain and protect our world forever and ever at ......!
"Therefore, the world will be reborn anew. And a new world will be born anew, and Our Lord will do it.
"And thus begins an entirely different world. And it is Our Lord who will do it!

　As he proclaimed, he declared off, and Diprakra prodded his knees.

"--The new 'Lord of the World', our apostle blesses you!

　Diprakra, in blind faith, hangs his head and waits for the next word.
　However, there is a slight hesitation on the part of the Sith, who turns his face towards us and repeats the name he doesn't need to call anymore.

'Kanami--'
Behind this is ....... 'Beyond', you'll find 'Rustyala'.

　I know what I want to say.
　I answered ahead of him, and Sis seemed unable to find the words.

"............. ...... Yes, my Lord.
"...... I'm really sorry for the wait, Sis. And I'm sorry that I'm here and not Yotaki. But I swear I will save the world. No longer will you be used, tricked, or rushed by anyone. ...... I want you to see this and 'feel safe' first. The extra 'magic poison' will be consumed by magic in this way first. If we don't stabilize society and population on the ground, the cycle won't work either.
"Jeez, population stability ......?

　I sat down and raised my right hand slightly so that I could see it easily from the Sith.
　A lot of "threads" were hanging down from the sleeve of that clothing.

　The stagnant water - the "demon poison" - has been going into me through the "threads".

　For now, I have enough power to store it.
　It's possible to convert the stored up "demon poison" into a magical power level or convert it into magic.
　But what I want to show you now is not the circulating ability.

　--Continued by Noi (・・・・・).

　What's important here is that this water surface contains not only the power of Dimension, but also the power of Defortion, and there is no concept of distance.
　With this, I no longer need to 'chant' over and over again like I did with Serdra's '80th Trial'.
　I can spread as many rumors as I want without having to make use of the remote magic of immense magical power.
　You can also use the means of giving a revelation directly to the priests and followers.
　The reconstruction activities that have been carried out in the Confederation so far can be done simultaneously in various places without having to move here.

　--The way you do it is various and the flow (...) is as you wish.

　However, for some people, this guidance through the "thread" is unpleasant and will not be accepted.
　There are many people who feel uneasy about being forced to think the thoughts of the "master of the world".
　But if it were me right now...

-- "-- Reading Shift, Dimensional Decisive Operations (Dimension Graduate), 'Realize', and Dimensional Decisive Operations (Dimension Graduate), 'Prequel (Recall)'. Sith, I want you to take a closer look.

　It's almost the same procedure as in Blood Land, where I saved the Blood Puppets and Blood Monster Beasts.

　Right now, as long as I'm hanging a 'string' on the surface of the water, I'm always connected to every soul with a 'Distance Mute'.
　Therefore, the exact same salvation as that time can be performed simultaneously at a distance.
　Having erased Fafner and Serdra's 'Unfinished', that soul salvation procedure is even more refined.

　I open the book in my left hand and use all the magic and skills I can muster.
　And what is projected on the surface of the water is a scene of a certain mountain village on earth.
　At the same time, a scene from the future (・・・・) of the mountain village is also projected on top of it.

　That future is a future where all the souls in the mountain village are heading towards "happiness" for a little while.
　As I sit on my 100-layered throne, I create a stream (...) to follow that future.

　It's an 'adjustment'.
　For example, if you are sick or injured, you can heal quickly and easily.
　We are told that our efforts over the years tend to come to fruition and that our small wishes come true.
　A water current that leads to a little bit of 'happiness'.

　You can't make a big ripple yet.
　Basically, the wishes of multiple souls tend to conflict with each other. That's why it's so easy to make a gentle flow in a circle, so that the waves don't collide with each other.

　But if you're on the way .......
　If there is a soul that despairs of its fate, is frustrated and dies, I want to show it a 'dream' at the end.
　I want to 'write' and add one last moment of salvation to the soul so that there is no 'unfinished business' left in it.
　The magic that saved Fafner, who was more unhappy than anyone else, and even Seldra, who was more treacherous than anyone else, is the magic that saved him.

　.............
　If Ragne were here, he would say, "I'm dying and stinking.

　But when that lagne killed me, I knew.
　This way, we are the only ones who can determine the 'happiness' of others.
　Lagne and I were both made that way.
　Our souls can only reflect the happiness of others, using our own skin as a mirror.
　Because my soul and Lagune's soul was created with this wish.

Yeah, that's it: ......

　Working on a sample of world salvation.
　It was Noi, not the Sith, who was impressed.

'That's the continuation of my ....... All along, I've lacked that 'mirror' ...... for me. That's why I kept resenting the wishes I uttered, whether they were fulfilled or not......!

　Suddenly, Noi makes an excited sound.
　The Sith calls out his name, anxiously.

'Oh, Lord--Lieberleur-sama?

　I won't call him Lord anymore.
　Ignoring the Sith's concern, Noi continued to explain.

'After all, this was something that only Kanami-kun could do. And it was something that I could never do. -- a god is not a god if it's not a 'made up' one.

　The story is told about Noi's idea of God.
　From the first time I met her, I thought from the first time I met her, but when she gets too excited, she loses sight of her surroundings and only winds up with what she wants to say.

''That Aikawa Uzumi, that Aikawa Yotaki's 'make-believe', was born with the nature of the 'moon' - or, to put it this way, the 'one who steals the reason for the moon'. That nature was used to play with his soul many times by that horrible sister, and he has experienced every form of soul. I guess it's very important that you have learned all the attributes once. On top of that, you have been established as the most appropriate soul for the 'Lord of the World', the 'one who steals the reason of the dimension'. That's why now as 'the one who steals the reason of the stars', you are so natural ......!　Yeah, very different from us: ......!　Finally, here it is: ......!　Really, as per the 'deal' ......, at last!　At last, the true 'Lord of the World' has appeared!　Nothing like us!　It is you, no, you are the one--

　He doesn't mind saying things that he doesn't really want to remember.
　But that's why you can tell that he's spewing out his thoughts.
　Noi's true feelings from the depths of her gut are now spilling out.

You are the 'Lord of the World' of everyone's 'ideal'.

　In the past, I would have shaken my head to the limit.
　But I can't anymore.
　Now, Noi has found his "ideal" in me. This is exactly what 'Noi's idea of true happiness' is reflected in my soul.

'Oh, God ....... Finally, the time has come ......

　And Noi, who should have been the 'Lord of the World', kneels next to Diprakula like a believer.
　A tearful, surrendered girl with an emotional look on her face prays and wishes.

'Please, go to the destination I couldn't reach ....... I'd like to ask you to go to the "beyond". Your "only one destiny" will be there too ....... That future is the only world where everyone can be happy.
...... Yeah.

　Then, slowly, Noi turns around in front of me as I sit down.
　He speaks solemnly to those further back.

“-- Okay?　As you heard, he's God.

　I know this is part of the ritual.
　I silently watch Noi as he works hard to complete his "plan" and I try not to interfere.

　However, I recall being told many times that the direction in which he was staring was "unintelligible" to others. Sure enough, I was now looking elsewhere, not at Noi and the others - but I didn't care anymore and continued to listen to them.

'We won't allow anyone to get in the way of our God. Right?　Apostle Diprakra (...), Apostle Sis (...)

　As if to draw a line in the sand, Noi respectfully called the 'apostles' who had been born to him.
　As if that act was a sign of the change of the 'Lord of the World'.

　The apostles also followed the former Lord's wishes and treated Noi as an equal.

'Yes ......, that's right. Now that we have heard the story, we are convinced. We are convinced that our new Lord is the God we need.
He said, "The New Lord has made a 'covenant' with me to be the foundation of the world. And I believe those words.

　Furthermore, they will call me the Lord.

　Not only did the ostentatious changeover ritual attract gazes (...), but the people around me also made it more visible by treating me as 'Lord of the World'. The process was really elaborate.

"Yes, I believe in him. "Yes, I believe in him, too, and he is the 'ideal' god that we human beings have paid for and obtained from across the dimensions. This is an ideal that no one can ever take away from us, and it is a guide for us to move forward in this dark ocean.

　So I stopped speaking once.
　He took a deep breath and then looked around some more.

'Yes. He is the beacon of our future. Is this a better way to describe you guys than God?　He is the culmination of a thousand years of blood and history, he is the beacon of the future, the 'Lord of the World' and the real 'magic'. That's the most 'ideal' ending for you guys: ....... Right?　Serdra, Ms. Neysha, Mr. Kounell, and Mr. Feydert.

　The words were thrown at them, and they all stiffened - slowly nodding back at each other.
　Because the words were too heavy, I had no choice but to nod.

　Thus, not only the apostles, but also the representatives of the earth will recognize me as the 'Lord of the World'.
　This is also an important ceremony. And it was 'the price'

　--I'm going to have to say that everything up to this point is the 'compensation' for the 'magic kanami' that will be completed from now on, and it will be enhanced.

　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about. The stagnation is pumped up by my "thread" and is immediately converted into earthly "happiness". And then that "happiness" becomes "compensation", and immediately a wave comes from behind - and then the process repeats.
　That process is the signal to move on to the next ritual.

'Oh, God ......!　Yeah, that's it!　Get ready to build 'Magic Kanami' immediately!

　Seeing this, Noi hurries and spins out the continuation of the celebration (Norito).
　He takes the ritual to the next level.

'Please, as per the 'plan', abandon that body and reach a higher dimension. Become magic, become a symbol, become a god ....... And then go further 'beyond' -

　As he finished saying this, Noi crawled through the shallow water and returned to his original position.
　He sagged against the railing of the throne, and closed his eyes to rest.

　He must be tired after talking as hard as he could for the first time in hundreds of years.
　Slowly and reassuringly, he is now trying to sleep.

　There are so many gaps.
　A soul that if you poke it a little, it will immediately start crying.
　This is the former 'Lord of the World', the former 'stealer of dimensional reason' and one of the possibilities of my future .......

'Oh, I'm going ....... No matter what happens, the 'plan' remains the same. No, having survived the 'Hundred and Tenth Test', it has been transformed into something more perfect. My magic makes all souls 'happy'. Yes, I wished first. Together with Lake Nagi-chan, together with Yotaki ....... Together with Tiara, together with 'Rastiara' ....... All along, that's where I've been aiming ....... There is no 'curse' in this world. I believe more than anyone else that the real magic is the magic that makes everyone happy.

　In response to Noi's expectations, he opens the book he's been holding in his left hand all along and begins to roll up the pages.
　Furthermore, he recites the words written there.

''-- 'The number of lives of sinfulness goes back, to the projectile that draws in that farthest corner' --''

　Expand.
　Extend your reach further.

　It's not just a hundred layers.
　Not just in the maze.
　Not just above ground.
　Not just their present.
　And not just the past.
　It's not just about the future.

　Expand it more and more.
　And if it's not enough, supplement it.
　That's what magic is for.
　That's what I've been doing all my life.
　This is the meaning of my life. The value. A role.

　--A mission.

　That's why I was able to use this magic from the start.

Dimensionality.

　He speaks the name of the magic that started it all.
　This is the heart and foundation of The Magic Kanami.

　Yes.
　Still a foundation.
　It's only the first step in building magic.
　Combining the "Black Shift Overlight" to "Never happened" is the final stage, so it will still take some time to complete.
　So, we'll start with the second step--.

　Dimension.
　Dimension, Multiple Expansion (Multiple).
　Dimension Graduation (Dimension).
　Dimension Dimensions (Dimension).
　Dimension Offset (Counting).
　Dimension Graduation (Dimension Graduation) "Realize".
　Dimension Graduation (Dimension Graduation) "Pre-Sequel (Recall)".
　Dimension Graduate, "Revive

　--Integrate all of the "Dimensions".

　Up to this point we've been casually developing them simultaneously, but they need to be bundled more neatly together.
　In order to take in the past and future of every realm, and to become an existence that transcends not only distance, but also the concept of time.

''-- 'I swear to atone for all my sins and transgressions' --''

　For some reason, the first thing that came to my mouth was the word "atonement".

　I know, I know.
　Like Serdra, I feel guilty.
　Like Fafner, I keep asking the scriptures for forgiveness.

　Crossing time and wishing for the resurrection of the dead.
　The alteration of souls, even the counterfeiting of "happiness".
　All my life I've been breaking the taboos of being a human being.

　Come to think of it, I've done this 'chanting' before in a similar place.
　Behind the sixty-sixth layer.
　For the first time, I remembered the existence of 'sorcery' and wished to change my fate.
　Since that time, I must have had a premonition that I would be able to change my destiny. I had a premonition that one day I would come here like this and violate every taboo.

"'Even if it's the end of the world, it will be the end of the world.

　The more I chanted, the stronger and thicker my gaze became than ever before.
　I had always feared that it was too vast and huge, but now it's already warm (lukewarm).

　Thinking back, this gaze (...) was really just a gentle child.
　When someone is working hard, I support them unconditionally and innocently.
　Whether they're bad or good, when I'm intrigued by them, I can't help but continue to follow them with my eyes.
　It's pure and kind. That's why I'm a very insecure little boy.

　Having been inside the 'slice', I'm sure of it.
　I've been talking about difficult things on a needlessly large scale, but in the end, what I do is simple.

　I just have to protect this little boy (world).
　He's still small, so someone needs to pat him on the head from above as soon as possible.
　I would have to teach him many things, even if I had to scold him sometimes.
　This boy needs a lot of care.
　When he eats a lot of food, I'll give him a back rub.
　When she gets sleepy, I will sing her a lullaby.
　And when she's sick and weak now, it's important to put a proper blanket on her.
　Because of the low body temperature called 'happiness', the symptoms will always be worse here and there.
　The immune system called 'population' is lacking, so the body's toxins are forever stuck in the body.

　In other words, this is parenting and nursing.
　Little by little, we circulate the "demon poison" and get closer to a healthy body.
　That's the first role of the new 'Lord of the World'.

　I thought it was the same as always.
　It wasn't so different from when he used to take care of Yotaki in the past.
　In fact, compared to Yotaki, she's an honest child, so it's even easier for her to do it.

　If there's a question, if this 'other world' is a young child, when and who gave birth to it?
　Why was it affected by the disease in the first place?
　Why was it left unattended for so long?

　Those questions may be answered when I finish my role as "Lord of the World" and go to "Beyond".
　But it honestly doesn't matter.
　What is important is that the "Lord of the World" has finished his role and we will find out "beyond".
　What is important is that I can find my loved ones in the things that I can understand when I go to the 'beyond'.

"-- So, 'Let me save you all,' 'Rustyala' --

　With the 《Dimension》, his thoughts expanded to the end.
　Even so, I continued to think of 'the one and only destined person'.

　And now, having finally finished the ceremony of changing the Lord of the World and having started building the Magic Kanami, he had an opening in his "Parallel Thinking".
　At the same time, however, my awareness of the parallelism turned to it.
　That was the curse.

　My eyeballs projected Maria asleep in her rocking chair and the Reaper sitting next to her, and the two behind them.
　And "Rustyala" was standing behind them, accompanying them.

　All the time, 'Rustyala' was gently caressing Maria's forehead.
　It's not like they were completely uninterested in this 'Lord of the World' changeover ceremony.

　However, he was chewing on Maria's cry just before, more carefully.
　On the way down from the tenth to the hundredth layer, Maria scolded me with all her might, and I was shocked and paralyzed - but my mouth was loose with joy, and I kept ruminating and caressing "Rustyara" with so many emotions and impressions.

　I cherished the aftermath of Maria's story very much.　
　She wasn't a fast reader like me or Yotaki. She cherishes the story, chewing it up and savoring it, before finally rolling up the next page.

　Rastiara had a great way of reading a story.
　You could say she was a genius at enjoying a story.
　So he seemed to enjoy every scene, smiling, bright and beautiful.

　That's what I like about him.
　Oh, I love it.
　I just love it.
　I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it--!
　After all, in the end, it's only because I love it--!

"'So, please let me go, Rustyala,'--
"'So, please, let me see you, Rustyala,'--
"'So, please let me live, Rustyala'--

　Even though I knew it was a mirage, I continued to compose the poem while looking at it.

　Because that is my life.
　Because that's the last 'chant'.
　'Rastiara,' 'Rastiara,' 'Rastiara,' 'Rastiara' and 'Rastiara' as he rolled up the pages and continued chanting.

　I kept humming it.
　I continued to stare at it.
　I didn't need to see anything else.

"'There's only one thing that makes me happy anymore'...

　We don't need anything else.
　Imitating Tiara, I too will aim for magic beyond life and death.　

　The 'chanting' of that vow continues to echo in space.
　It fills 100 layers of the labyrinth like a lake surface.

　That's right.
　In this legendary 100 layers where wishes can come true.
　I have finally arrived at it.


"-- 'I want to be with you, Rustyala' --


　And I keep wishing.
　My wish for 100 layers is just that.

　The construction of Magic Kanami began.
