Multiverse's Holy Right

"So this is the true nature of the Seventy-Two Pillars of King Solomon's Demon Gods."

Standing on a distant hill overlooking Jerusalem, Roy watched as the city gradually became enveloped in lights. This ancient city, steeped in countless legends and miracles throughout history, was now bathed in the glow of human achievement. The old myths faded, leaving only the radiance of mankind.

A flicker of nostalgia crossed Roy's expression, as if Roman were still by his side. He sighed softly and lowered his head, focusing his mind on the newly acquired authority.

"Human Order Correction Formula"—its name was "Lemegeton." This was the title of Roy's newly obtained authority.

The Seventy-Two Pillars of King Solomon's Demon Gods first appeared in the mystical text "The Key of Solomon," which, when translated, became "Lemegeton." However, this book was actually a distorted manuscript of Solomon's techniques for commanding demons. Misinterpretations of Solomon's original intent turned it into a demonic doctrine passed down through the ages.

This time, what Roy obtained was the true existence of the "72 Pillars of King Solomon's Demon Gods," known as the "Lemegeton," which also revealed to him the true nature of these demonic pillars.

In The Key of Solomon, due to distortions in the handwritten copies, it was mistakenly believed that the 72 demonic pillars were the pagan deities conquered by Judaism and Christianity. In reality, these were merely names borrowed by Solomon to compile a magical system.

This Authority—or rather, it should be called an immensely complex magic—was named the Human Order Correction Formula. It was a system created by Solomon to "more effectively advance the correct path of human civilization," a magic designed to correct deviations in the Human Order when problems arose.

When the Human Order remained undisturbed, utilizing this Authority—or magic—could still draw power from it, converting that strength for personal use. In worlds where the Human Order was robust, this could be considered the "blessing of the Human Order."

The so-called Human Order, in magical terms, simply referred to all factors that allowed human civilization to flourish and progress. Every individual's choices, every pivotal moment in history, every correct sequence of events—these were all crucial elements sustaining the thriving Human Order. The Human Order Correction Formula ensured that when the Human Order suffered damage, whether man-made or natural, the 72 Demon God Pillars would manifest to correct it, allowing civilization to march forward.

This was the true nature of the Human Order Correction Formula.

And yet—

"King Solomon truly deserves his title as the King of Magecraft. To create such an intricate and astonishing magic, even extending its reach to the Human Order... If I can fully decipher this system, it would be an immense boon to the 'magic' I'm developing."

What Roy sought to create was a system capable of "transcending the Evils of Humanity"—a concept intrinsically tied to the Human Order itself. The Evils of Humanity coexisted with mankind; as long as even a single human remained, these evils would never vanish.

As Roman had said, this Authority, this magical system, was indeed the greatest gift he had left for Roy—a trove of esoteric knowledge that could elevate Roy's own magic to new heights.

But just as Roman had warned, wielding this magic would require Roy to pay a price.

Roman had placed a "lock" on this Authority. Roy would need to fulfill a certain condition before he could fully claim it as his own and make it the cornerstone of the magic he was developing.

To activate this system and unleash its power, Roy had to accomplish one thing—he had to save the Human Order, even if only once.

Even if that salvation involved merely a minor branch of the Human Order during a moment of crisis, so long as he succeeded, the Human Order would recognize him. Only then could he activate the Human Order Correction Formula, assimilating it into his being and fully comprehending the pinnacle of Solomon's wisdom contained within.

"But where the hell am I supposed to go to save the Human Order?!"

Roy grumbled in frustration, finally understanding the meaning behind Roman's last, mischievous smile—the one that had tricked him.

Such a powerful magic that could borrow the power of human order, a spell that condensed Solomon's lifelong strength and wisdom—yet now he could only look at it but not use it. How could he not feel frustrated?

"Truly marvelous. The power possessed by Solomon differs across worlds."

At that moment, Aiwass, the Holy Guardian Angel, appeared behind Roy. This angel hailed as the angel of physics let out an admiring sigh: "...In the world where I was born, there also existed the grimoire The Key of Solomon. According to information obtained from Aleister, in that world's The Key of Solomon was purely a grimoire recording demon summoning. Yet this King Solomon's wisdom involves human order—a mystery far surpassing demon summoning..."

"...The same individuals across different worlds wield vastly different powers. This is crucial information, an important theory in this cosmic sea."

The Holy Guardian Angel's voice carried slight excitement. It seemed she had learned something new, acquired fresh knowledge, greatly satisfying her curiosity.

"Though in the end, I got tricked by that idiot. Thinking about it still annoys me. King Solomon truly lives up to his name—within just seven days of arriving in this world, he completely mastered everything about Heretic Gods. Even after his disappearance, he could still control the transfer of authorities. For that, I have to admire him."

Roy gave a bitter laugh, complaining about Roman.

"The human named Roman didn't discard Solomon's power and wisdom. He likely foresaw something, which is why he designed that crucial hidden trigger in the Authority Magic he left for you."

Aiwass reminded him.

"Yeah, I get it. This is totally something Roman would do. If it were King Solomon's personality, he'd either say nothing at all or explain everything in detail—not leave you with a riddle and key to solve yourself."

"...That guy Roman truly became fully human in those seven short days, even picking up bad habits. Right now, I almost wish he had Solomon's decisiveness."

Roy spoke with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"But whatever. I've already obtained the Human Order Correction Formula and Solomon's 72 Demon Gods. All in all, it's a huge windfall. Since Roman left me a path, I'll just follow it—I'm sure I'll eventually unravel this magic."

Roy took a deep breath, stopping himself from overthinking it. Roman must have had profound reasons for doing things this way.

That guy might be cowardly and useless, but he's definitely no fool.

"Let's head back to the hotel first. I want to see what other magic he left for me there."

After a moment's hesitation, Roy prepared to activate his Authority to leave. Though the Lord of Light could only be used once per day, it was indeed an excellent method for travel.

"Wait a moment. I preserved the spiritual foundation from when Solomon disappeared. Your Authority overlaps with King Solomon's in some aspects. After returning, prepare a ritual—I want to observe the results."

Aiwass then delivered some uplifting news that greatly excited Roy.
