After hearing Roa's explanation, Nero Chaos' eyes returned to their cold and inorganic nature.
"-So the 'beasts' that were sent out were all killed. What a terrifying eye. But, can the 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception' that you mentioned harm me who has the 'Original World' from such a long distance?"
"This..." Luo A hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head, "I don't know, at least I can't do it - Araya Soren, what do you think? You are the one who knows that woman best."
Before he finished speaking, another man in black came out from behind Nero Chaos. If Roa and Nero Chaos were like twins, then the newly appeared Araya were triplets - the way to distinguish them was still by their expressions. Nero Chaos was inorganic, Roa was happy, and Araya was depressed, even his voice was so depressed.
"I don't know. As far as I know, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception don't have such an ability, but since my opponent is that woman, I won't find it strange no matter what happens to her."
Luoa laughed and was not surprised: "After all, it is a container connected to the 'Root', which is even more unreasonable than the 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception'."
"So, I have been against you attacking Ryougi Shiki from the beginning. She is not an opponent that can be easily dealt with. A rash attack will only alert her."
Having been killed once, Araya knows better than anyone how terrifying Ryougi Shiki is, and is also more cautious than anyone else.
"Don't say that. Nero has good intentions and hopes to do his best for his allies so that our cooperation will be more pleasant."
Araya snorted sullenly, not appreciating Luoa's explanation at all.
"It's better not to say such meaningless words. You and I both know that the one who really wants to test Ryougi Shiki is not Nero Chaos, but you. You don't completely trust me. You want to know whether Ryougi Shiki is as scary as I say."
Roa was not surprised and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just a little curious. In a sense, your eternity is more complete than mine. I want to know what kind of existence the woman you call terrible is. Well, it also means to remind Nero, you heard what I said just now. Because of the concept of chaos, his way of thinking is becoming more and more confused, and verbal reminders don't work well on him. Only by making him feel pain, he, or the beasts in his body, will settle down - there is no more suitable object than Ryougi Shiki."
"Your bad taste hasn't changed at all, Roa."
Nero Chaos, who was evaluated in this way, spoke calmly without any sign of anger, which made Roa feel disappointed.
"You're a lot more boring than you used to be, Nero. What a shame, you were such an interesting person 200 years ago."
"People change." This was Nero Chaos' answer.
Araya has a different view: "Change is external, the essence of a person will never change, and the cause has been determined since the birth of life."
Different viewpoints represent different paths taken, so one becomes a heretic vampire, and the other imprisons himself in eternal "stillness".
The inorganic gaze met the distressed eyes, and the collision of ideas made the atmosphere between the two people more uneasy.
"It doesn't matter what, whether it changes or not, at least we must first achieve immortality before we are qualified to discuss it."
Luo A walked between the two men and separated their staggered gazes. Although it would be interesting to see these two guys who had reached the pinnacle in their respective fields fight, now was not the time to start a war.
"By the way, Araya. Has Assassin come back? It's a rare opportunity, let him tell us what he thinks."
"Assassin."
"exist."
As if to verify the famous saying "Birds of a feather flock together", another highly similar voice responded to Araya's call. However, this time, the person who spoke did not show up, and was still hidden in an invisible place, worthy of being a Servant with the job of assassin.
"Tell me what you think."
"Yes. There is no real eternity in the world. The so-called eternity is just the destiny that has not arrived. Once the destiny arrives, all things will face equal death."
Although Assassin's attitude was respectful, the point he made fundamentally denied the existence of Dead Apostles.
The happy smile on Roa's face finally faded, replaced by an unhappy snort: "For the defender of human principles, this is a very standard answer. Let's not discuss whether this answer is correct or not. I want to ask a question first - as an assassin, did those people you assassinated also have their destiny come to an end?"
"That's right." Assassin's tone was unusually calm, like a pool of stagnant water that had remained unchanged for a thousand years.
"Your death, too?"
"yes."
"If everything is destiny, then what is the meaning of human existence?"
"Because of death, there is meaning in existence. So-called eternal existence is meaningless."
There is no doubt that this is another conflict of ideas.
Nero Chaos asked: "When will my destiny come?"
"It will arrive when it's time."
Hearing this answer, Luo A's face showed obvious sarcasm.
"Nero, there is no need to say more. The dead will not understand our choice. You should concentrate on fulfilling your duties as a Servant. In the end, you will naturally have the opportunity to realize your wish. Tell me, where is the goal now?"
"Master—" Assassin's attitude was very clear. I only obey the Master's orders.
"Go ahead."
"We have reached the foot of the mountain. Contact is expected in five minutes."
"What should we do? Keep running up the mountain?" Araya asked.
"No need. Let's fight back here. If we run, Nero's beast will want to eat again. And here, we don't have to worry about being seen, so we can use our strength to our heart's content."
As Roa spoke, he leaned down and put his hands on the ground.
"I can already feel the earth shaking. No matter how many times I watch it, I am still shocked. It is indeed the army led by the King of Persia who has stopped Alexander the Great many times in legend."
"So what? After all, he is a vassal of the magician. The so-called Noble Phantasm 'Athāgatoi Ten Thousand' is not true immortality."
As Nero Chaos spoke, his coat suddenly ballooned up like a sail in the wind.
Then, the black sail turned into the ocean, and wild beasts of various shapes rushed out of his body and spread out along the hillside - under that black coat was no longer a human body, but a "sea of chaos" formed by 666 kinds of life.
"Let me show him what the real Undead Army is!!!"
