章節 583: -576- Going all out!
As various factions converged towards this location amidst the erupting spiritual energy, Rozen found himself in profound agony.
"This is a grave miscalculation...!"
Rozen tightly closed his eyes, maintaining the clasped hands gesture, exhaling potent magic and incantations. He gritted his teeth, continuously chanting the spells to sustain the ritual and ceremony.
Without doing so, the spell could crumble at any moment, the ceremony could fail, and the explosively powerful spiritual energy could go berserk, venting in all directions, swallowing him.
Currently, Rozen was in such a perilous situation; how could he not be in excruciating agony?
"I didn't expect it to end up like this..."
Rozen's heart sank slightly.
It had to be said that this time was indeed a grave miscalculation on Rozen's part.
In order to ensure the success of this ritual, Rozen had made numerous preparations. He had been simulating and adjusting the process of the ritual in his mind beforehand until he was certain everything was foolproof.
Only then did he decide to perform the ritual tonight, bringing down the avatars of Kinu and Gyokuto, creating new Raven's Wing and Moon Wheel. He had even prepared the response for handling the failure, leaving no stone unturned.
However, considerations were ultimately just considerations, and reality was always full of surprises.
Only after the ritual officially began did Rozen realize something.
That was, although he possessed all the knowledge from 〈Summoning Arts〉 and 〈Onmyoudou〉, the gods in this world and the gods in Chaldea were different.
Both were high spiritual existences, and in that aspect, there was no difference.
The difference lay in how they existed.
In Chaldea's world, the gods had long bid farewell to humanity, moving towards higher-dimensional worlds as humanity advanced technologically. They couldn't easily manifest in the present world, even manifesting in the form of Servants like heroic spirits was difficult, let alone a direct appearance.
On the other hand, in this world, although gods couldn't easily manifest, they were omnipresent.
According to Imperial-Style theory, gods were omnipresent throughout the world, like one of the elements constituting the world. Their existence went beyond space, time, and even the concept of quantity. They were a collective entity, impossible to quantify, or rather, human cognition couldn't accurately grasp their forms of existence.
And if explained using Common-Style theory, in fact, the so-called gods were just a type of spiritual disaster, differing fundamentally in scale from the other spiritual disasters.
Phase 1 is the distortion of spiritual energy that cannot naturally recover.
Phase 2 is miasma that can cause physical damage.
Phase 3 is dynamic spiritual disaster capable of materialization, giving rise to various spiritual entities like Ogre, dragons, and more.
Phase 4 is a continuous unleashing of spiritual disasters, creating a night parade of a hundred demons.
According to some beliefs, as the spiritual disasters in Phase 3 and Phase 4 continue to evolve and their chain reactions reach their limit, the fundamental nature of the spiritual disasters will no longer be twisted spiritual energy but will return to normalcy. Eventually, the world will accept them.
It's said that such entities will become one of the forms where all things are filled with spiritual energy, becoming commonplace and spreading throughout the world, becoming a part of the world.
In other words, when the spiritual disasters evolve to the extreme in this way, they will become gods, colloquially known as Phase 5.
In this world, although gods are the highest spiritual beings and humans haven't completely understood them, they are not too distant from humanity because they are omnipresent, even if they exist in different phases. There is no complete separation from humanity.
Given this, Rozen originally intended to bring down a part of Kinu and Gyokuto. Unexpectedly, instead of summoning a part of them, he inadvertently summoned their actual selves.
Yes.
At this very moment, what Rozen summoned was not a partial avatar of Kinu and Gyokuto but their genuine beings.
If it were in Chaldea's world, summoning the actual gods would have a very low success rate due to the disconnected worlds of the gods and the present world. Even if it were a miraculous summoning of the gods, the success rate would be very low.
However, conversely, precisely because the success rate was very low, if conditions were added and only summoning a part of the gods was allowed, the difficulty would decrease, making success possible.
Unfortunately, Rozen was not in Chaldea's world; he was in the world of the Onmyouji.
In this situation, Rozen's divine descent succeeded even before adding conditions to limit it. This led to the direct summoning of the genuine beings without proceeding to the avatar summoning, spiraling out of control.
Now, the spiritual energy of Kinu and Gyokuto surged into the present world, resulting in the astonishing spiritual phenomenon, causing a disturbance in heaven and earth.
Rozen couldn't control this eruptive spiritual energy, and it nearly distorted in the present world.
If it happened, it would undoubtedly become far more terrifying than the "Jou-i Daihara" and the "Jou-i Saihara," surpassing the dreadful calamity of the spiritual disaster half a century ago.
After all, this was the twisting of the spiritual energy of two deities. If it turned into miasma, it would likely affect not just Tokyo but the entire Far East Island Country.
In order to prevent the spiritual energy from spiraling out of control, Rozen exerted all his efforts from the very beginning.
"————Offer the great Shou ritual incantation to the myriad gods of Takamagahara, purify all————"
Rozen chanted the incantations while clapping his hands, directing the magical energy in all directions.
This was the highest purification prayer, possessing the effect of purifying spiritual energy. Rozen's magical power expanded outwards, helping regain control over the rampant spiritual energy in the vicinity.
"————Heavenly gods, proclaim the prayer of the great Shou ritual, engulf the sins of this world, purify body and soul————"
Rozen continued chanting the prayer tirelessly, purifying the surrounding spiritual energy bit by bit and gradually bringing them under control.
This wasn't a matter of brute force exorcism; it involved a highly skilled technique of coordinating the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—to supplement, reduce, or adjust the necessary spiritual energy as much as possible.
Only a few Onmyouji possessed the ability to achieve this. It required repeated training and continuous adjustments of the Yin and Yang and the five elements, transforming the tedious work of aligning spiritual energy deviations into a proficient skill.
Yet, Rozen, relying on a vast knowledge of magical arts in his mind and his experience from Yakou's life, perfected this to an extraordinary degree.
Of course, even with such proficiency, a considerable amount of astonishing spiritual energy was still bursting outward.
Even if Rozen's technique was perfect, without matching power, it would not be effective.
So, Rozen gritted his teeth.
"Now is not the time to hold back!"
Rozen raised his right hand vigorously.
"Clang!"
On his right hand, hidden beneath the fingerless glove, the inscription that acted like a spell suddenly lit up.
"————By my command seal, I order————"
This was one of Rozen's two aces, which could unleash up to three inscriptions. He transformed them into pure magical energy, filling his own magical circuits and obtaining a tremendous magical power replenishment.
Rozen released his three command seal in one go, dimming them but converting them into astonishing magical power that surged into his body.
In the next moment, the terrifying magical power burst from Rozen.
The rampaging spiritual energy in the surroundings momentarily stalled, finally coming under Rozen's control.
However, this control was temporary.
Even with the power of the three command seal, it wasn't possible to maintain control over this dreadful spiritual energy indefinitely.
However, if Rozen wanted to return the spiritual energy, dismiss Kinu and Gyokuto, that was achievable.
But in that case, Rozen's ritual would officially be declared a failure.
"Is the result of staking three command seal a failure?"
Rozen's eyes shimmered, and a shameless smile played on his lips.
"In that case, let's go all out."
"Become my Shikigami!"
"Kinu! Gyokuto!"
As he made this declaration, a crimson light flashed in Rozen's eyes, and behind him, a large amount of blood burst forth, forming a pair of crimson wings.
"Clang!"
At the same time, the patterns resembling inscriptions on Rozen's left hand lit up like the command seal.
At this moment, Rozen released his second ace.
Then, Rozen's magical power skyrocketed tenfold.
Instantly, surpassing even the gods.
