It was a huge and burly shadow, like a human being, but everyone knew that it was definitely not a human being.
Like a twisted combination, golden limbs, white torso, black, blue and bloody lines are all over the body of this self-proclaimed "curse". There are no facial features on his head-like organ. , only the position of the mouth seemed to have a crack, but Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't see clearly.
As a Beast, it also has a characteristic [horn] growing on its head.
But that horn was completely different from the argali-like horn of Tiamat that I had seen at the Mesopotamian Singularity. It was like - some kind of plant in the form of an antler, not It's an animal horn, like a clump of plants, but if you look closely, it's not a plant.
There is a depression on its chest, and what emerges from the hollow is a nucleus that looks like an eyeball, as if there is real sight, which makes people's spines shiver and creepy.
Fujimaru Ritsuka clearly felt goosebumps on her arms under her ceremonial dress.
The existence named [Goetia] is still announcing.
"I will not call myself the destroyer of mankind, let alone claim that I am the one who judged you."
"You humans will be my food. I will embark on a journey to the extreme and achieve -"
"Brand new stars!!!"
He was surrounded by demon pillars that were exuding billowing black energy and opened their scarlet eyes to stare at Fujimaru Ritsuka and others. Behind him was a halo that had been dyed black but was still in the outer circle. Above, a large band of light radiates.
He seems to be a god who can decide the life and death of humans - no, he is more powerful than a god.
That feeling, which was even more creepy than Tiamat, reminded Fujimaru Ritsuka of this fact.
【Goetia】.
Humanity Burning Style, Demon King, [Goetia].
That's his name.
This name has been mentioned before, and Fujimaru Ritsuka is no stranger to it. It is the name in the list of demons in the book "Key of Solomon", that is to say——
Goetia is the sum total of the seventy-two demon gods!
Goetia was looking down at the three people from Chaldea.
Chaldea, on the other hand, was led by Fujimaru Ritsuka and looked up to Goetia.
"I see. After King Solomon died, it seems that you were lurking in his body." Lawrence narrowed his eyes knowingly, "The magic called 'Summoning' actually has such a level. Will, so that.”
"He gave birth to his own body and controlled the body of King Solomon."
She understood and saw clearly the true face of this guy in front of her, this "king" of magic.
"Hehehehe Lawrence, you have to show me my true appearance before you can see something. After all, you are just a mortal body, and your eyes have never been bright." Goetia revealed this body. After the person felt completely fearful, it seemed as if he had already won the victory. His original arrogant words became more calm, and he shook his head, as if it was a pity that Lawrence could only see his true form now.
"Hmph, when you were at the London Singularity, you wanted to call yourself Grand Caster." Lawrence sneered, "If your disgusting smell that belongs only to beasts didn't make me faint, this kid Ritsuka would still be here. I’m really deceived by you.”
"you--"
She pointed at Goetia and made a declaration word for word.
"Eradicated human history, created seven detonating points, and disrupted the foundation of mankind. For this reason, your job description lacked certainty from the beginning."
"Grand Caster is just a false appearance you use to disguise yourself. The real you was created by mankind and can most effectively exploit the catastrophe in human history!"
In Goetia's "eyes" that seemed to be smiling, Lawrence finally revealed his roots.
"Your name is [Beast I], and you are a beast that holds the principle of [compassion]. It feels sad and disappointed towards people, and thus becomes proud of itself. This is your beast nature, Goetia!"
Lawrence unceremoniously pointed out the nature of Goetia.
Goetia didn't seem to mind, but nodded, acknowledging what Lawrence said.
"Yes, Lawrence, that's very well said."
"We are living beings made by human hands."
He spread his hands and sounded like he was grinning, but he seemed to be speaking normally.
"But do you know? Although we were created by humans, we are programmed to have abilities and vision far higher than humans. At the same time, we do not need a physical body because our innate intelligence is destined to not Need that excess.”
"In the beginning - we were willing to serve humans."
"But that's all in the past." Goetia shook his head and said, "You humans are not worthy of our service."
"Solomon, we were once shadows of this man, this king. His eyes saw much further than you do, Lawrence, and by that quality we see the same things he sees."
"You think we are not qualified to judge humans?"
Goetia's voice turned sulky.
"Then what qualifications do you have to decide that we are not qualified to judge."
"As the shadow of that man, we have seen everything and much more than you!"
“Sorrow, betrayal—plunder, end!”
"Do you think we haven't seen enough-!?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked like she wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Goetia interrupted her.
"That's not necessary. That's enough."
"There is no need to continue reading. This is the conclusion [we] have reached unanimously. We are no longer interested in the future of mankind and the planet. This is not what we want to see."
“What we want to see, what we pursue—”
"It is a complete environment that can fully develop our intelligence!"
Goetia came to a conclusion.
He, or in other words, the Demon God Pillar group headed by him, has identified the future of the planet Earth as "wrong".
They chose another path, one that would bring the planet and mankind to an end together, and then create a new celestial body based on them.
Maybe name it the planet Goetia?
This is what they consider the "Great Cause".
How——
"Absurd!" Fujimaru Ritsuka became angry.
She was also scared and panicked, but listening to Goetia's words, she still felt huge anger.
"It's just that it's animalistic nature that comes from compassion, and you actually claim that it's intelligence!"
"Self-centered bastard, stop being so self-righteous!"
