BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49 - The Book Of The Law.
*Sigh* Why I'm writing two chapters today? Well, I felt the questions are a lot, so here some answers.
Enjoy the chapter.
--------------------
Do you know what's chaos? Is it against the order? Or just a bunch of nonsense. Well, it's all of those, as the Chat group was witnessing it now.
The whole second realm of Asgard lost its order as it became absolute chaos. Matter was turning into ashes as a giant canyon without an end appeared at plain sight.
Some rocks and roots were sticking inside of each other without any effect on both sides before they teleported into different places. The picture was glitching as it was defying the normal way of how objects should exist.
The up is down, the right is left and up or down at the same time. This isn't the same as Palkia switching direction with space, but the whole concept of direction was corrupted.
Gravity exists and doesn't at the same time. The temperature lost its effect in this world. Space already gave up on this world and the only thing keeping it together is Palkia.
Light wasn't illuminating the surroundings like it always does. The light was there, but it didn't do anything as it was just darkness.
The way how world function was completely distorted in mere seconds as it almost collapsed.
This realm is literally a mistake, a flaw, an error. All that happened because a man swinging his arm casually, which shows the terror behind it.
Leo was standing on the platform which's the only 'normal' place in this chaos as he was holding his head before pain.
However, he forced himself to calm down as he looked at the scene. The rooftop distorted before darkness swept and the scene of candles appeared, but it didn't take long before the world returned to normal in Leo's eyes.
After the scene returned to normal, Leo walked a step forward before he almost fell, but he clenched his teeth and balanced himself, even if his brain was burning from pain.
[Bri-Bri: LEO!!]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: WHAT!!??]
Leo couldn't look at the Chat Room nor hear anything around him as he was perceiving the world in a very different way from normal humans or other creatures.
"*COUGH!*...* COUGH!!!* Leo coughed as he spit more blood and almost collapsed on the ground. After opening his eyes with difficulty, Leo's left eye changed back to a light blue color, but it still has a faint golden color.
[NEET Princess: LEO, ARE YOU OKAY?!!]
[Big Sister Lion: What the hell just happened?! He was perfectly fine a moment ago!!]
[The Strongest Man In The World: Hey, kid!! What happened to you!!??]
"*COUGH!* I am� ...*Pant* Fine...*Cough!*" Leo said with complexity as his mana recovered his body, and Gold Experience was healing him as well. But this time, the recovery was much slower.
[NEET Princess: What the hell do you mean by fine!!?? That was the Angelic language, isn't it?!]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Are you fucking kidding me?! Look at yourself!!]
[Big Sister Lion: Are you trying to act tough??!!]
"Everything is � kay(okay)...Hm? *Cough*..." Leo supported himself as he noticed his angelic language before he cleared his throat and talked with normal language" I just underestimated the 6th-page impact"
Angelic language is the way angels speak in To Aru world, it sounds like high-pitched gibberish to normal humans. Saitama and Kaguya were able to understand Leo's words, but that became pointless when Leo's personal reality turned everything into a flaw.
Leo was having a problem with switching the language as he was trying his hardest to control his AIM field now. But he's on the verge of losing control, and the only thing keeping him together is his will.
[NEET Princess: Page? What are you trying to do? Wait... No way]
"Ah, it's what yo�(you) are thinking..." Leo took a deep breath as he stabilized himself and said " The Book of the Law or at least a part of it, and maybe in my style to be more fitting"
The Book of the Law, also known as Liber AL vel Legis. This is a grimoire that could spell the end of the Religion of the Cross, Christianity.
This grimoire is very complex and written in a very complicated code that made the best talents in the To Aru world, unable to decipher it.
Leo wasn't able to decipher the book of the law, much less even writing it, so he made the book write himself. This Grimoire is somehow sentient and the knowledge it contained want to go back together after it being watered down by the Academy city chairman to create Espers.
He gave the knowledge a vessel which is the book made from the Annihilation Maker power and the knowledge rushed towards it while using all the available conditions to write itself again.
The knowledge took the information from Leo and his Longinus as it smashed and transformed it before writing using the divine power around. This is a very risky move from Leo, but the book of law seems to be made according to his powers and has taken a shape that only works according to his reality.
However, the Book of Law is still dangerous as the knowledge is so pure for him to handle that it made Leo very weak from using a part of its powers.
[Bri-Bri: NO, NOTHING IS OKAY!! JUST LOOK AT YOURSELF!! YOU'RE BLEEDING FROM YOUR EYES AND BARELY ABLE TO STAND AND YOU THINK THIS IS OKAY!!!]
Misaka exploded from anger in the Chat Room as it made the group surprised and Leo, who was using Gold Experience to heal himself was also surprised.
[Bri-Bri: I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STUPID ANGELS STUFF, JUST WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU?! FIRST, THE DRAGON VEIN WHERE YOU ALMOST LOST YOUR LIFE AND NOW THIS!!]
[Bri-Bri: IT'S CLEAR THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS YOU CAN BE STRONGER, YOU'RE NOW EVEN STRONGER THAN A GOD!! THEN WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!!]
[Bri-Bri: DO YOU THINK IT'S OKAY TO ACT STRONG WHEN YOU'RE LIKE THIS!! IF YOU'RE HURT, THEN SAY YOU'RE HURT!! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF AND PUSH EVERYONE AWAY!!?? DO YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOUGH OR STUBBORN!!??... I... I...I don't know anymore...]
Leo and the whole Chat group stood there in silence as these words shocked them greatly, especially if they came from Misaka, who is usually the most reasonable in the group.
Misaka's words said everything the others wanted to say, as they didn't know what they should do now.
[NEET Princess:... Preach]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: You said everything that I wanted to say... Even more]
"Hahaha...*Sigh*" Leo laughed slightly as his body recovered slightly before he said " Well, I'� � S� ...*Cough*... I'm sorry to make you feel like this and thank you"
"Honestly, I'm very happy to know someone is so worried about me. Truly, I'm happy" Leo smiled at the screen before he said " So, thank you again, Mikoto. But I don't think I'll stop because this is me"
"I never acted strong or something...I'm just a guy who'll never stop, and will always take the step that no one will ever take... Maybe this is why I'm good with To Aru world power that I'm becoming an angel... Hahaha" with a light laugh, Leo closed his eyes as he sighed before a serious look formed on his face.
"I'll never fall again, so I'll keep pushing forward no matter what the danger, but you can rest assured..." Leo walked forward even if walking was hard for him now before he said " I'm a crazy fool, but not an idiot who'll throw his life away"
Leo's brain was still hurting as he was on the edge of losing his rationality with every word written on the 7th page of the Book of the Law.
"I'll never wait for someone to help or save me, so here I am" Leo clenched his teeth as he stood in front of the platform that contained the two objects. The seed and the rock engraved with runes.
"However, more importantly..." Leo remembered the scene when he almost lost control before saying" This is personal now"
The group was completely silent as they couldn't utter a single word at this scene. To be honest, they don't know why Leo is fighting, why he's pushing himself to this limit, and what that picture they saw there.
"Again?" Kazuma mutters to himself when he heard Leo's words before leaning back on his chair without noticing the pale Aqua that was looking at the direction of the screen, even if she didn't see it.
"... Save you, huh" Saitama was on top of a building as the wind was blowing his cape before he said " It looks like your bullshit has more truth into it, Leo"
"....." Misaka was biting her lips as she didn't know what to do anymore. Leo's words brought some comfort to her, but she just couldn't stop thinking about it.
The group stopped typing again as they were waiting. They don't know what to do again, even when the situation seemed very dangerous.
They couldn't understand the reason behind Leo's actions because the more they went inside this place, the more they understood how little they knew. However, Misaka who was silent typed one last message.
[Bri-Bri: So... Can you at least tell me what was that place?]
Leo raised the beasts on his head and shoulder before he put them inside his shadow after giving them instructions for his plan. But he noticed Misaka's message at that moment before a smile appeared on his face.
" A bittersweet place... Nothing more" Leo gave the best answer he could use to describe that place in his heart before he reached for the two objects on the platform.
[Big Sister Lion: Didn't you say that you'll not touch them?]
"Well, I� ... I'm almost going crazy, so it isn't a big deal, but in this situation, you need to remember something..." Leo put his hand on the two objects as the book of Law finished the 7th page before he said " I'm Pandora's box"
*CRACK*
With the sound of glass shattering inside of his brain, Leo lost his perception of the world as everything lost meaning for him before the pain hit him like a train.
"UGH!!" Clenching his teeth, Leo couldn't do anything as the weight of the knowledge and its purity was so much for him.
6th page was the creation of the world and it also represents the beginning, and the 7th page represents perfection and completion which means... God.
The seed turned into pure life force as it rushed into Leo's soul and fused with the book while the runes on the rock flew in the air before they rushed towards the book.
The book of Law which contains only the Christian knowledge was changing at this moment as it included Leo's reality.
All the world was shaking at this moment, the heaven, the human world, and the underworld trembled while Asgard was vibrated.
The earthquakes were very weak and almost unnoticeable, but all the strong beings felt them.
In the book of Law beginning, a new page appeared after the seed and runes fuse with it. Phrases started to appear on the page while it seemed very important as the page was golden.
The book found an unknown source of information as it was filling new pages with a top speed.
Leo wasn't able to scream as his consciousness was slipping away from him, but he forced himself to stay awake as he saw the phrases on the book appear one by one.
Secret Emperor.
Kabbalah.
These were the first two phrases on the book and Leo couldn't stop as he repeated them " Secret Emperor...Kabbalah"
Meanwhile, in heaven. There's a bible and cross which represents the system in the most secure location of heaven.
"Hm?" Michael was doing his routine as he was checking the system before a shock wave hit him and sent him away from the system.
"WHAT??!!" Michael screamed as he couldn't believe what he's looking at. The system went out of control as the book and the cross were shining brightly.
Micheal noticed the data and information in the system is being used by someone, as he tried to stop it, but he got shot by the system again as he stood helplessly.
"How can it be... Someone is controlling the system" Everyone can tell the shock and surprise in Michael's tone as he stands there with no way to stop what's going on.
Some angels also arrived at the scene, but they were forced to stay next to Micheal as they were praying nothing bad will happen.
Leo didn't know what's happening in heaven as the book was writing dozens of pages and 4 more phrases.
Alpha.
Rhinoceros beetle.
Spiral staircase.
Calathea.
With those phrases adding to the book. The heaven, human world, and the underworld vibrated 4 times as it was announcing the start of something.
However, inside an unknown location clouded in mist. A man holding a long spear was clenching his teeth as the spear was out of control.
"TRUE LONGINUS WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Cao Cao the leader of the hero faction was struggling to control the true Longinus, but all his efforts were useless.
The holy spear that contains the god's will didn't care about Cao Cao screams or his subordinate which it smacked down before a calm voice appeared from it" Sinner... Like the flap of a butterfly wing... Very well, you pass..."
Cao Cao was surprised by the holy spear suddenly talking before the spear forcibly pointed itself to the sky and sent a gigantic light beam, which vanished quickly and Cao Cao controlled the spear again.
"What's going on?" Cao Cao held his spear as he had a very weird feeling from the situation, but he didn't know that the beam was taken by the system as it rushed to a different place.
"Alpha...Rhinoceros beetle... Spiral staircase...Calathea" Leo didn't know what to feel from this pain now as he almost lost his senses while 4 more phrases appeared in the book.
The book of Law seemed to write faster, like it received some sort of boost.
Papilio glaucus butterfly.
Wyrd.
Dragon.
Fig Tart.
Leo repeated the phrases as his mana changed into another form and his AIM field grew larger.
The three realms trembled 3 times and Asgard vibrated 4 times while the dragons across the world flinched as they didn't understand what's going on. But one giant red dragon in the Dimensional Gap opened his eyes.
A man with silver hair frowned as his blue-white Longinus appeared on his back for no reason. The dragon inside the wings felt something as it looked towards the direction of Asgard.
Papilio glaucus butterfly.
Yggdrasil.
Spiral staircase.
Möbius Strips.
With those new phrases, Asgard and Yaddgshil started trembling as they shook 5 times before it stopped.
However, a small girl with long black hair opened her eyes as she looked at the direction of Asgard.
Leo seemed to enter a strange trance as light spots were appearing around him and most of his mana transformed.
Yggdrasil that didn't show any reaction began to send a powerful life force to Leo for no reason.
Papilio glaucus butterfly.
Singularity point.
Omega.
Angel.
� � � � � � � .
Leo said those last phrases before everything stood still and a bright light appeared as it engulfed him into a ball.
Yggdrasil roots started moving at this moment as they reached Leo and moved him up. The roots teleported him to the 8th layer before a bright light shined on the place and Yggdrasil went back to silence.
Palkia saw this, but he didn't feel anything bad, so he allowed Yggdrasil's actions before he followed his lord.
The Chat Room members closed their eyes at the bright life while Kazuma noticed the scared Aqua before he said " What happened to you, Aqua?"
"Kazuma-san... This is scary... Like something terrifying will appear" Aqua was shivering as Kazuma noticed that she's looking at the Chat screen direction even if she didn't see it.
Kazuma didn't have time to talk to Aqua as he saw something that made him widen his eyes.
Meanwhile, in the DXD world. Thor and Vidar were flying towards the 8th layer as they were the only ones able to pass the 4th layer.
Odin used all his power when he realized the danger and opened a hole in space using Gungnir. He finally understood after feeling the earthquakes how bad the situation was before he did a plan that allowed Thor and Vadir to rush over.
Thor was looking serious while holding his hammer, and Vidar was the same. They are feeling something very dangerous from the next layer, but they couldn't stop now as they entered the 8th layer.
"What in the world..." The shock on Vidar's face can't be described as he looked at what the layer had become.
This layer separates into two sides, a jungle and an ice area which giants live in, but now... There was only chaos.
Seasons, which shouldn't appear in this place, appeared as they were changing in each second. Fall, winter, spring, and summer were switching positions and sometimes appearing at the same time.
Thor as the god of thunder understand that the weather wasn't changing, but the time itself was going crazy.
Giants chose to run away as they were afraid of something, Vidar even saw Fenrir shaking at the corner.
However, Vidar stood still as he saw 'it'... 'It' was standing on a hill in the middle of the layer while the total chaos was revolving around 'it'.
It was a young man with a dark blue right eye, and a golden left eye. But the special thing is the pure black energy wings behind him as some colors appeared now and then on them.
Thor didn't feel fear or power, and this shocked him greatly. He couldn't even feel the 'thing'. His face or his look, Thor wasn't able to remember anything after looking at 'It'.
However, 'it' turned towards both Vidar and Thor as they only saw nothingness mixed with thousands of mistakes and errors from those eyes.
Everyone across the world didn't know what's happening, but if there was a powerful mage from To Aru he'd say... An 'Angel' has fallen... An 'Angel' different from all the other angels.
