Multiverse Anime: A Journey Through Worlds Starting as the Supreme Being

Now the content of the contract remains unchanged, but the demon she has contracted with seems to be more terrifying, so the power she has gained should be stronger in theory.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not unacceptable.

Nangong Nayue thought self-deprecatingly, and at this time she can only comfort herself in this way.

The only difference from the past is that if the contract is violated, only the witch herself will pay the price.

But if she violates the contract now, the whole world may pay the price.

What worries and fears Nangong Nayue the most is actually her wish.

Only by fulfilling her own wish can she win this game.

But her wish is "peaceful coexistence between humans and demons", which is so grand that it is like looking forward to world peace.

Nangong Nayue rarely complained about herself at this time, why did she have such a wish, and the difficulty of fulfilling this wish was too high.

However, Nangong Nayue is not a person who gives up easily. She is resolute and strong in mind, which is the most beautiful brilliance of her character.

"I will accept your soul, and the contract is established here!"

"...The incarnation I created will give you power. He will be your guardian and also your watcher!"

"If you violate the contract, he will cut off your head, and darkness and death will completely descend on the land where you are!"

The indescribable voice was engraved in Nangong Nayue's mind, and then Nangong Nayue felt that his mind was infinitely extended and stretched, leaving that strange space.

After Nangong Nayue disappeared, Xixiang, who was sitting on the throne, dispersed his false appearance and revealed his true face.

Feeling the nutrients tirelessly nourishing his growth, he narrowed his eyes and said: "...Accepting the contract and getting a channel to connect to the world will allow me to obtain nutrients for growth."

"...And judging from Nangong Nayue's situation, the people who will be favored by the invitation letter I sent should be those who have strong wishes."

"If that's the case, why did only Nangong Nayue accept the invitation, but others didn't?"

Xixiang was a little confused. His fingertips played with Nangong Nayue's soul, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Now there is a world that provides me with nutrients, and I can't lose it easily."

Thinking of this, Xixiang followed the beacon provided by Nangong Nayue and his mind moved. He completely disappeared in the darkness.

...

Xiandu Mu Aye paced anxiously at the ritual array. She didn't know what went wrong with the ritual.

At this moment, the magic light emanated from the ritual again. She looked nervously with her fiery eyes and was surprised to see Nangong Nayue's petite figure appear in the ritual array again.

"Nanyue, what happened? Has the ceremony been completed? I..."

Xiandumu Aye was about to say something, but her tall and slender body trembled.

Because behind Nangong Nanyue's beautiful doll-like body, a terrifying demon formed by black fire suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Let me introduce myself. I am one of the incarnations created by the great king, in charge of the name of "aging"!"

"...You can call me 'Zarathustra', Nangong Nanyue and... the witch of the secretary!"

The demon formed by the black flame said politely and gentlemanly, but his words were full of malice and pleasure.

Chapter 18 Simulation of the Star Creation Map 'Avesta'!

(It is really troublesome to compare the combat power across works, so I will just focus on my setting as the author.)

(Unless the performance of both sides is very different, I will not deliberately strengthen or weaken a certain work.)

Xendumu Aya's beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at the demon who suddenly appeared behind Nangong Nayue and called himself "Zarathustra" in shock.

In the impression of this secretary witch, the so-called demon is not actually a life with self-will.

Demons are different from demons. Demons are a general term for many races that really exist in this world.

Vampires, orcs, ghosts, dragons, and even elves, whether they are numerous or sparsely populated, or have already perished, these non-human races are collectively called demons.

But demons are different. Demons are not a race.

Demons are more like a collection of concepts, similar to the mechanism of a contract, and exist in this world like some established rules.

Witches sign a contract with this mechanism and sell their souls in exchange for power beyond ordinary people.

At the same time, the witch must also obey the content of the contract, and the power of the devil will be materialized as a follower hidden in the shadow of the witch.

When the witch obeys the contract, the follower's devil will become part of the witch's power and obey the other party's command. This is the 'guardian of the witch'.

But when the witch betrays the contract, the guardian will become the executioner in a blink of an eye.

They will turn the witch into a real monster, lose her human form and humanity, and usher in death after a long torture.

The witch can never resist the devil she has contracted, because the witch's soul has long been held in the hands of the devil.

It is precisely because the devil has no self-will that Xiandu Mu Aye was shocked and incredible after seeing the 'guardian' behind Nangong Nayue.

In so many records of witches from ancient times to the present, it has never been heard that the guardian of the witch has self-will, nor has it been heard that the devil has self-will.

The devil is just a running rule.

Because demons are just certain rules, there are loopholes. At least Xiandumu Aye has the secret method of lending his guardian to others and then forcibly signing a contract with them.

"That month, what on earth is going on?"

Xiandumu Aye looked at Xixiang warily. The beauty Renbu, who was wearing a twelve-piece kimono, took a few steps back, ready to summon her guardian to fight at any time.

After hearing Xiandumu Aye's words, Nangong Nayue looked a little hesitant.

She knew that Xiandumu Aye was actually asking why her guardian had self-awareness.

Nangong Nayue really didn't know how to explain it. She knew that the lord of death and darkness she saw was definitely not the devil in the minds of the witches.

She was also hesitating whether to tell Xiandumu Aye about such terrifying existence.

Sometimes, the less you know, the safer you are; the less you know, the less trouble you have.

Taking a deep breath, Nangong Nayue looked calm and said in her unclear voice: "...It's okay, Aye, I just encountered a little trouble."

Seeing that Nangong Nayue didn't explain the situation clearly, Xiandumu Aye also roughly guessed that she had something to hide.

Glancing again at the flame demon who behaved like a gentleman and seemed polite, Xiandumu Aye also nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.

At the same time, Xiandumu Aye also has strong curiosity and exploration about Xixiang.

As the leader of LCO, Xiandumu Aye has the same thirst for knowledge as the members of LCO.

She also wanted to explore the weird guardian situation like Nangong Nayue.

This demon's body made of pitch-black flames is completely different from the guardians of the witches.

Compared to the guardians of the witch, this monster is actually more like the demon that people have spread through word of mouth.

"If you have anything to do, let's talk about old times later. Nangong Nayue also has the secretary's witch Xiandumu Aye."

"...It seems that I robbed the contract midway and caused a problem in a certain mechanism. I want to take the contract away."

Listening to Xixiang's inexplicable words, both Nangong Nayue and Xiandumu Aye were confused.

But the next moment, they knew the meaning of Xixiang's words.

I saw that the ritual circle used by Nangong Nayue to sign a contract with the devil once again shone with a rich and substantial brilliance.

Under the helpless gaze of everyone, a tall 'knight' with a body made of mechanical gears and dyed golden appeared in the magic circle!

"This is... a guardian? No, it's a real demon!"

When Xiandumu Aye saw the golden knight appearing, her expression changed drastically, and she finally recognized his true face.

The inhuman magic power and the 'knight'-like posture are exactly what Xiandumu Aye is familiar with and what all witch guardians have.

But the magic power emanating from this guardian was so huge that it exceeded Xiandumu Aye's knowledge of the guardian.

"Such an intensity of magic power is comparable to that of the True Ancestor's beasts... No, even a single True Ancestor beast does not have such powerful magic power!"

Although Xiandumu Aye was surprised by the magical power of the golden guardian in front of her, she still stood in front of Nangong Nayue without hesitation to protect her.

In Xiandumu Aye's view, Nangong Nayue, who had just become a real witch, was still unable to use the witch's power skillfully.

What makes Xiandumu Aye strange is that since Nangong Nayue has a guardian, why is there a new guardian here?

Although the True Ancestor's beasts are powerful, they are as terrifying as disasters.

But the true ancestor's beasts are not invincible.

If the three true ancestors who had lived for countless years were here, Xiandumu Aye would naturally be no match.

However, if it is a monster that only possesses the magic power of the True Ancestor Beast but does not have its own will, then Xiandumu Aye can also protect Nangong Nayue Zhouquan.

Fighting is not a competition of magic power, it also requires sufficient skills and experience.

Even if the true ancestor's beasts were handed over to an ordinary person to command, that ordinary person would probably not be able to face an excellent magician except using the beasts to destroy them.

On the contrary, excellent magicians can use various external conditions to kill ordinary people.

‘This guardian, or devil should be the one Nangong Nayue wants to sign a contract with. ’

‘...Because my appearance accidentally intercepted the contract and caused problems in the ritual, will it appear and want to kill me and take back the contract? ’

Xixiang could tell that the golden knight was basically coming for him.

‘Xiandumu Aye said that this guardian has magic power that is comparable to or even surpasses that of the True Ancestor’s beasts. Well, he probably understands the level of the True Ancestor’s beasts. ’

The true ancestor beast alone is about the same level as an elite monster in Yggdrasills.

Don't talk about him, any guardian in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick can handle it.

The only thing that makes people feel troublesome is that according to Xixiang's understanding, these beasts of the True Ancestor are a bit destructive and have a wide range of lethality.

But if a group of monsters of this level appeared, Xixiang would also feel a headache.

It's not like he hasn't ganged up on monsters before, but the monsters he ganged up on were all unconscious NPCs, just like the guardian in front of him.

But if these beasts are controlled by someone, such as a True Ancestor, they will probably be a more difficult enemy.

‘In the past, we fought in teams against such monsters. ’

Xiang sighed softly. It was a pity that the members of Ainz Ooal Gown were no longer there.

Or if he could become the complete form of the ‘Aging Demon’, it would be easy to defeat these so-called True Ancestors.

But unfortunately, he is still in the growth stage and has just been able to obtain nutrition.

‘Forget it, let’s get rid of this so-called guardian first. ’

Xiang’s mind moved, and he wanted to use his own ability to get rid of it. A monster without self-will is not to be feared.

But at this time, Xixiang suddenly thought of something. He did not act directly, but took out a book.

That was the simulated star creation map - ‘Avesta’! .

Chapter 19 The power of the first three thousand years

The terrifying magic released by the golden ‘knight’ caused the barrier prepared by Xiandu Mu Aye to crack inch by inch.

The purpose of this barrier is only to hide the progress of the witch's ritual, but it has no ability to block the magic power of the true ancestor-level beast.

In contrast, the big devil standing opposite the golden "knight" is at ease.

With the devil as the center, the breath of aging swept out, the ground under the feet was losing life and becoming dry, and the flowers and trees were also withering.

And as the black flames that formed the body of the devil swayed, it was like the devil was breathing, and the breath that drifted into the air was the breath of aging like a virus.

Xiandumu Aye finally knew why this demon called himself the big demon of aging. His current ability has already reflected the horror to living beings.

No matter what kind of living being, they are afraid of aging and resist death.

And aging is undoubtedly the most desperate and terrifying thing among the ten processes of death!

Xiandumu Aye's expression suddenly changed.

The witch is not an undead creature, she just lives a little longer than ordinary humans and can keep her face young.

In this aging atmosphere, she could also feel the passing of her life.

Although Xiandu Mu Aye was elegant and beautiful in appearance, with a plump and charming figure, her actual age was only one year older than the sixteen-year-old Nangong Nayue.

Xiandu Mu Aye did not want her ageless face to turn into an old woman here.

Just as she was about to pull Nangong Nayue away from here to avoid the sharp edge, Nangong Nayue took a step forward and stood in front of Xiandu Mu Aye.
