Chapter 160 - Chapter 160 The Brand New Spacequake, Am I Going to Die Again?

[Leaving Yoshino's hospital room, you decided to begin searching for the final targets: the siblings known as Takamiya Shinji and Takamiya Mana.]

[In your memory, the existence of these two was crucial to the changes in the Spirit of Origin, Takamiya Mio, but you found yourself unable to locate them no matter how hard you tried.]

[After searching for a while with no success in finding the Takamiya Siblings, you chose to return to the residence of Elliot and the others.]

"Westcott, why are you the one picking me up? Where are Ellen and Karen?"

At the airport, looking at Westcott, who was dressed in a suit, expressionless like a noble young master, Ryuya handed over the small amount of luggage he was carrying.

"Sensei, Ellen and Karen are preparing a gift for you."

"I am here to take you to see that surprise."

Driving the vehicle very steadily, Westcott and the others had mostly figured out the ritual for summoning a Spirit during Ryuya's absence.

Having attempted pseudo-summonings many times, they lived up to being Ryuya's most outstanding disciples, succeeding each time.

However, to give Ryuya a surprise, Westcott and the other three always stopped at the final step of the ritual.

Now, finally awaiting Ryuya's return, it was time for them to present their best gift to him.

"Huh? I thought I was the one who brought gifts for you all. So you have a gift for me too?"

"Then I'll look forward to whatever surprise you've prepared."

[You smiled, unaware of the terrifying existence Westcott and the other three had prepared for you.]

[Following Westcott to the outskirts of your residence, Westcott led you to a particularly large warehouse, telling you that the gift they had carefully prepared for you would appear inside shortly, and asked you to wait a moment.]

[Wanting to respect your disciples' intentions, you did not probe what was hidden inside the warehouse. After waiting quietly for a while, you sensed the leylines of the entire Earth fluctuating.]

["Westcott, Elliot, what are you doing?"]

[Pushing open the warehouse door, as the Earth King, you could comprehend the drastic changes happening to the entire planet. What met your eyes was the magic circle for summoning a Spirit, and Elliot and the other three, who were somewhat panicked and at a loss.]

["Sensei, we just..."]

["Sensei, this is an accident."]

["Sensei, we tested it perfectly many times before… we don't know what went wrong this time."]

[The ritual, which should have been perfect in theory, had somehow gone awry. Faced with the intensifying surge of magical power at the center of the magic circle, Elliot, Karen, and Ellen stammered their explanations.]

[As for Westcott, he stood quietly in place, unmoving, because he understood the situation was now beyond their control.]

["Sensei, this is all our fault. How can we help you now?"]

[Asking how to remedy the situation the moment disaster struck, Westcott was indeed much more capable than Elliot and the others.]

["Help with what? All of you, get farther away!"]

[Due to insufficient time since your birth, even as the Earth King, you found the massive spiritual energy that was agitating nearly all the Earth's leylines a headache.]

[Beast of the Apocalypse, King of Myriad Races, True Sun God, King of the Earth, Ultimate Being.] (T/N: The Sun God was changed to True Sun God.)

[Mobilizing all five powers, you channeled this enormous magical energy towards the heavens.]

[But...]

[Boom!]

[As the magical energy continued to explode, the mass of leyline energy finally detonated, blasting a hole in the very fabric of the world's barrier.]

["What is this?"]

["Is it the apocalypse?"]

["This is too terrifying."]

["What exactly happened?"]

["I can't understand."]

["Help!"]

[Looking at the crimson canopy enveloping the entire planet, all over 8 billion humans on Earth were astonished.]

[As shock, fear, and terror erupted, you realized this was absolutely not the Spacequake from the original work that struck Eurasia and killed 150 million people. This was a brand new Spacequake capable of annihilating everything.]

["This power... it's no longer just from Earth. The power of several surrounding stars has also gathered here."]

["If this Spacequake is allowed to descend, the entire Earth is probably finished."]

[Cursing inwardly about your troublesome disciples, you pondered if you were about to die again this time.]

["Beast of the Apocalypse - Devour Heaven and Earth."]

["Beast of the Apocalypse - Beast of the End."]

[Pouring all your internal power into the Beast of the Apocalypse, facing this magical energy that surpassed planetary scale, you radiated your final brilliance.]

["Sigh... I finally stopped being a king, thinking I could properly study the powers of this world, and now I'm still going to die."]

["Next simulation, I'm definitely giving those four who screwed over their teacher a good thrashing."]

[As the Earth King, as the Sun-Crowned King, you truly could not bear to watch the entire Earth be completely obliterated from the galaxy by the Spacequake. Having devoured the entire Spacequake, you burned through your last reserves of magical power.]

[All that remained was the completely vanished Spacequake, and...]

["Sensei?"]

[Looking at the sky, which had returned to clear blue, Westcott and the others stared blankly upwards.]

[There was no more gathering magical energy, no spatial tremors, and no sign of Ryuya's figure.]

[Standing rooted to the spot, at a complete loss, the four last Wizards in the world were utterly stunned.]

Meanwhile.

Taklamakan Desert.

[In this most mysterious, most sparsely populated mysterious place on Earth, two figures had appeared at some unknown time.]

["Human?"]

[Underneath silver-white hair was a face filled with divinity, so perfect it seemed even God had expended all effort to depict it.]

[The figure appearing in this world was completely unlike a human. Her sky-blue eyes looked at the surroundings, and the girl added another question: "Youkai?"]

["Or a god?"]

[Just quietly looking at the unconscious man before her, the divinely beautiful girl didn't understand why he wouldn't answer her questions.]

[Thinking for a moment, she held no particular attitude towards her surroundings… she simply wanted you to answer her questions.]

[But clearly, you wouldn't.]

[Hesitating for a moment, an instinct for life gave her an innate fondness for the first living being she encountered after her birth.]

[Gently picking up the man's body, even though the girl's physique seemed petite, she lifted him with ease.]

[Starting to move in a certain direction, the journey of the Primordial Spirit born at the beginning and the unconscious Earth King began.]
