whyduit.
What exactly motivated him to do such a thing? He even suddenly launched an attack halfway through the experiment.
Matouchi continued to ponder.
Then he looked at the coffin, which was now completely open.
"I understand."
"That's what Matou Ike said."
"Hmm? What did you understand?"
"Ah, let me confirm something first—" Matou Ike said slowly, then glanced at everyone's faces.
"—The 'path to redemption' we see should be different, right? And they are all tailor-made routes based on their own circumstances."
These words swept away all the doubts in everyone's hearts like a gentle breeze.
"You mean, compared to Rogue as Kurdris, Rogue as Atlas found his ultimate in this experiment? But isn't that contradictory?"
Kiz suddenly asked.
Indeed, Matou Ike's words were full of paradox.
but--
"Just like Meastia, what you're seeing requires fragments of Zeus to continue, right?" Matou Ike asked, turning to the monarch of the clock tower beside him.
"Ah, have we already been exposed?" Meastia scratched his head, seemingly forgetting his earlier complaint.
"What if what Rogue of the Atlas Institute saw in the Ultimate Realm disappears as this experiment continues?"
Matou Ike continued.
This experiment would lead to the destruction of the entire Mediterranean.
Perhaps even the Great Library of Alexandria will cease to exist.
The magicians who made it this far aren't afraid of not being able to escape.
But everything else here will be annihilated.
Therefore, Rogge's initial purpose in getting involved in the Alexandria Library experiment would fail as the experiment progressed.
That might be his motivation.
"Did they make a judgment immediately just because they saw a glimmer of hope?"
Everyone was somewhat astonished, including Matou Ike.
Although he himself would make the same choice if he were in that situation.
But I still admire that decisiveness.
This is especially true for the alchemists of the Atlas Institute.
After all, from the moment they came into contact with the mysterious, they had been working hard towards their mission of 'saving the world'.
If Latio could stand by and watch his brother die because of this, then Roger could also stop his daughter's research because of this.
Regardless of the type.
Magicians are products of eccentricity.
The Grand Order of the Clock Tower, the Salvation Question of the Atlas Institute, and the Sorrowful Sea's Unraveling of Fate.
Yes, everyone is bound by constraints.
Bound by something called destiny.
Chapter 414 Connection
Latti's anger was completely contained, like a torrent suddenly brought to a halt.
The reason was simple: her father, Roger, had already left her far behind in terms of military strength and control over the Great Library of Alexandria.
With the ownership of Pharaoh Ptolemy's heart now settled.
Having obtained Pharaoh Ptolemy's heart, Lothar naturally had no objection to controlling this great library.
However, the martial prowess he is currently displaying is rather unusual.
Latio's skills are far superior to her father's, especially considering she also possesses the familiar Tangrei.
The magicians present could tell the difference in performance in an instant.
What was expected to be a closely contested battle turned out to be a one-sided affair.
"What the hell are you?"
Latio was panting, cold sweat beading on his forehead, his eyes still burning with resentful rage.
But she also calmed down and returned to the state most accustomed to being an alchemist at the Atlas Institute—
— High-speed thinking.
How was Rogge able to directly manipulate Pharaoh Ptolemy's heart?
When did his technique become stronger than Latio's, a Six Source?
On the mystical side, where talent represents everything, such a change is clearly inconceivable.
"Rogge is Rogge, nothing more..."
"...Rogge is the embodiment of fear, fear Rogge! Rogge knows you are afraid!"
Two completely different voices came from Roger's mouth alone.
This situation is truly bizarre.
However, it is not impossible to find the reasons for this change.
Alchemists at the Atlas Institute would transform themselves into a calculation device.
Besides the state of high-speed thinking, there is another state called segmented thinking.
The former, as its name suggests, speeds up thinking. The latter, on the other hand, is a technology that divides the brain into sections, creating multiple versions of oneself to work in parallel.
It was through the latter that Latour managed to hide the part of his personality that had been alienated.
They fooled almost everyone in this operation.
Of course, deceiving others doesn't really make much difference; the most important thing is deceiving yourself.
Only by deceiving oneself can one do anything without any moral boundaries.
Ah, so it's the same as Latteo's...
That's really... awkward...
The man before her, her own father, must have been doing this with the same mindset as Latio...
But Father, whose influence did you receive?
Latio was eager to know this information, but not because of something like "wanting to know more about his father," which only exists in Japanese light novels.
Without understanding the other party's true strength, one will never find a way to defeat them.
It's the same old story—
—The magician's battlefield is the battlefield of concepts.
However, given the scarcity of information, even Atlas's renowned high-speed thinking could not arrive at a conclusion out of thin air.
All we know for now is that Rogge was most likely influenced by something related to Pharaoh Ptolemy, which is why he developed this unusual personality.
Could it be that it has been possessed by a mummy?
.........
At the same time, they are positioned outside the fighting.
The group had almost finished digesting what they had seen in their calculations from the Great Library of Alexandria.
No one complained much about the interruption of the experiment.
It's as if it's dispensable.
"I didn't expect Kurdris's experiment to fail like this. I thought one of us would turn against us."
“Don’t assume everyone is like you, Kiz.”
Wuzhiqi's cold voice rang out.
The punch he threw stopped in front of Kiz's eyes.
Needless to say, the speed of the punch, invisible to the naked eye, is astonishing, as is the terrifying barrier that catches it.
"Alright, alright, so who's next in line? I suppose it should be my turn, right?" Kiz said with a slight smile.
"It should be my turn to reincarnate, shouldn't your turn have failed completely during the Night Tribulation?"
Wuzhiqi stated this fact without holding back.
But Kiz, without batting an eye, said:
"How can that be? I didn't intend to use Elgo that time. You brought him there and disrupted my plans."
Upon hearing this, Wuzhiqi affectedly covered his mouth with his hand, then retorted sarcastically:
"Huh? It's as if you can succeed without a concubine. As long as that guy is in the Far East, you have no chance of success whatsoever."
As soon as those words were spoken, the two of them looked in the direction of Matou Ike without prior arrangement.
Meanwhile, Matou Ike was chatting with Shion, the genius alchemist from the Atlas Institute.
He seemed completely unconcerned about Latio's current disadvantage, while the clock tower's monarch, Meastia, joined the battle.
The monarch's intentions were quite clear; he seemed to want to use this method to seize the "fragment of Zeus" from Latio.
However, his words alone cannot directly turn the tide of the battle.
Fortunately, Rogge did not seem to have any obvious intention to kill Latio; he seemed to still have room for maneuver.
The scene then shifts back to Matouike and Shion.
