Chapter 905: Chapter 11: World Ascension_2
Under the reflection of the endless starry sky, Duncan’s true form lifts his palm.
In the hand of the dark giant his true form has become, Tiamat’s remnant soul is held in the palm, resembling a lifelike model toy.
"A good collectible, indeed."
"Perhaps it will be useful someday."
Duncan can rely on her to recreate a visage of Tiamat or refine it, just as a dark cultivator would capture others’ souls.
A huge display stand emerges.
Duncan’s true form gazes at a dimensional realm of a divine country, creating a sub-dimensional realm beside it, then stasis-ing Tiamat’s divine soul within it. On the other side of this stand, there are two hazy soul reflections, resembling demons engraved in the void, one being the benevolent mother of the Great Zun Church, and the other Lǚ Qióngxiān, serving by his side.
Part of these two souls were also captured by Duncan, transforming them into collectibles, or rather ’Otherworld Divine Envoys’ attached to his true form.
This is the archival, as well as backup.
The divine country is indestructible.
Even if the Otherworld Divine Envoy is killed, they can be resurrected.
Duncan’s research in this area has just begun since he hasn’t yet delved deep into the entire faith-based system of the divine country, to create his own Otherworld Divine Envoy (Celestial Demon), he is still in the exploratory phase.
The Innate Barrier gradually dissipates.
As Duncan’s will returns to reality, everything seems as if it never happened, leaving only Gilgamesh, staring blankly at his broken divine artifact.
Duncan couldn’t be bothered to tidy up anymore.
He turned his head towards the other side of Paris, where Napoleon’s heroic spirit had already defeated many opponents, his potential erupting terrifyingly. With the blessing of revolutionary ideals symbolized by the tricolor flag of liberty, equality, and fraternity, even Altoria without the Sword of Oath and Victory was no match for him.
Ultimately, Napoleon seized the fruits of the revolution.
With the ideals of the new era symbolized separately by the Holy Grail fragments of liberty, equality, and fraternity, he condensed a projected Holy Grail in reality.
But ironically, it’s estimated that Napoleon intended to use it to fulfill his ambition, to obtain the ’Emperor Position.’
The revolution culminated in a French emperor.
Yuan Shikai gave it a thumbs up.
"The Great Holy Grail is almost condensed as well."
Duncan’s expression carries a hint of curiosity, as his figure descends from the sky, overlooking the heroic spirit form of Napoleon, a product of time paradox, the future Napoleon, the one who faced a Waterloo in some timeline.
The heroic spirit Napoleon, holding the emerging Holy Grail, struggled with his expression, turned his head to glance into the distance, summon his own Napoleon Bonaparte, then looked at the Holy Grail in his hand.
What will he do?
Use the power of this Holy Grail himself?
Or give it to the current Napoleon?
After a long struggle, the heroic spirit Napoleon raised the tricolor flag of France, letting out a faint sigh, murmuring, "My era is over."
So what if he were to seize the Holy Grail?
All those companions who once fought against all of Europe with him have perished, and he is just a wandering soul summoned by a temporal anomaly.
He gazes at Duncan, handing the Holy Grail to the Imperial Guard beside him, saying slowly, "Are you the guardian of this era?"
Duncan shook his head and said lightly, "No. I am merely the arbiter."
"From which timeline do you come?"
Hearing this, the heroic spirit Napoleon’s expression was somewhat subtle, he softly said, "In my era, there was no Emperor Duncan."
I understand.
A timeline that diverged from the Charlemagne Empire, that is, the original historical Napoleon.
The upheaval brought by the world ascension caused the disturbance of time and space.
"If the time law further loosens."
"Wouldn’t it allow someone to travel back in time? To directly meet me back then?"
"No."
"Right now, no one can bypass the supervision of the Immortal Heroic Spirit to move within the river of time."
"But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible in the future."
"To avoid these troubles, the best method is a proof eternal!"
"Past, present, future."
"All timelines converge towards my present self, any entity with time abilities, once they interfere with anything related to me, will face the ’proof eternal’ self."
Proof eternal means locking the Law of Cause and Effect.
No matter how things change, he is destined to be the Saint, the God of Gods.
Even if someone travels back to the past, they cannot escape his judgment, even the present self simultaneously exists in the past, present, and future.
Napoleon is now able to summon the future Napoleon from some timeline.
There’s also the possibility.
With the loosening of the time law, Duncan might also be summoned by someone from the future to a future timeline.
This is the movement of the Immortals within the river of time after the loosening of the time law.
The current moment is a node, continuous advancement, the path traversed, is the predetermined reality, while the branches emerge as parallel worlds derived from time and space.
The structural diagram of the High Magic World has never been a simple straight line.
Once the world ascension completes.
With the moment of ascension as the node, the existence of parallel worlds transforms into a possibility.
"It seems he’s planning to use the Holy Grail to achieve his ambition."
Duncan looked at the distant Napoleon Bonaparte, acquiring the Holy Grail, his gaze at that moment resembling an ambitious figure obtaining the Imperial Seal.
He watched the gradually dissipating heroic spirit Napoleon in front of him, saying lightly, "Are you interested in becoming one of my angels?"
