Multiverse: Why does the world show a health bar? !

Aleister Crowley, the greatest magician of the past century. This magician resides within this city, but what state is he in now? Li Mo couldn't quite understand. When Coronzon killed Crowley in the Windowless Building, over a billion versions of Crowley appeared across the world.

Yes, not just a few, or even hundreds. Not even tens of thousands, or millions.

But **a billion possibilities**!

Li Mo couldn't fully grasp what Aleister Crowley's current existence was like. But judging from his numerous feats, he was a being even more formidable than the Magic Gods.

"Sir, where will you go next?"

"No need. From now on, you're free to do as you please."

Li Mo had already obtained the forbidden books from Index's mind. He now had the knowledge to complete the "Angel Fall" ritual. All he needed to do was perform the ritual to leave this world.

—However, before that, he still had something to do. He needed to grow his **third tail**.

After absorbing the 103,000 Grimoires, the portion of knowledge he had digested gave him inspiration. Due to various reasons, Li Mo's body couldn't fully integrate or digest the characteristics of the "God's Right Seat," which were akin to those of an angel.

But now, he had found a way. All he needed was to find a suitable place to fully grow his third tail.

"Huh?"

"Did I say something wrong? My Japanese is quite standard. What I said was, Frenda, you're free to do as you please from now on. Don't tell me you'll miss me?" Li Mo said with a smile.

He had successfully completed the task of obtaining the Grimoires and left without a hitch. Completing the main mission had been smooth and easy. As for the upcoming **World War III**, although Fiamma of the Right lost some of his luster in the later stages, he was still incredibly powerful.

Li Mo wasn't confident he could even defeat Acqua of the Back, let alone challenge Fiamma of the Right. And as for the events of **New Testament**...

Li Mo didn't want to think too much about it. The sooner he completed his mission, the sooner he could leave.

"What will you do next, sir?"

"Find a safe place to digest the knowledge I've gained."

This was a lie. His first priority was to grow his fourth tail. His second priority was to digest the knowledge from the Grimoires and complete the Angel Fall ritual.

Only after leaving this world would Li Mo spend more time digesting the knowledge from the Grimoires. A total of 103,000 Grimoires! In this world, they were considered one of the ways to become a **Magic God**.

Of course, it was just a method. Whether one could actually become a Magic God depended on luck. For example, Ollerus, who had one foot in the realm of Magic Gods, missed his chance to become one because he saved a cat.

"By the way, Frenda, if you plan to return to the First Rank's side, I suggest you wait two or three days. The First Rank's mood will likely be... not great."

Li Mo spoke.

If Li Mo hadn't intervened, Frenda would have been captured by Kakine Teitoku, forced to betray Mugino Shizuri, and then be bisected by her.

In this timeline, Mugino Shizuri was destined to face a major setback. Even if Kakine Teitoku didn't come looking for her, Mugino would go after him. But she was no match for Kakine.

Among Academy City's seven Level 5s, the top two were in a league of their own. Oh, wait, the Sixth Rank, Aihana Etsu, was a special case.

Even Aleister Crowley had retired, yet Aihana Etsu's identity and abilities remained a mystery. What abilities would the Sixth Rank reveal later? It was something to look forward to.

"Then, sir, would you like to come to my secret base?"

"Huh?"

Li Mo looked at Frenda. The blonde girl noticed his gaze and smiled sweetly.

He remembered a certain meme.

It was a grayscale image of Frenda, which he had even used as a meme for a while.

If it was a secret base...

He vaguely remembered that Frenda still had some presence after her death. Although she became a character in everyone's memories, her sister also had a significant role.

"Why are you inviting me?"

"Well... actually, you didn't plan to kill me from the start, right? And about the Second Rank, I'm really grateful you didn't hand me over."

Academy City's No. 2, Kakine Teitoku, the Dark Matter. As a Level 0, Frenda deeply understood just how powerful a Level 5 was. And not long ago, her group, **Item**, had clashed with him.

What would happen if she fell into his hands?

Frenda didn't dare to think about that outcome. As a member of the dark side, no one understood the dark side's methods better than her. Falling into the Second Rank's hands would undoubtedly end badly for her.

"Is that so? Then let's go. I don't mind the location."

The Angel Fall ritual affected the entire world, so it could be performed anywhere. As for digesting the characteristics of the "God's Right Seat" he had absorbed from Vento of the Front, that could also be done anywhere.

Of course, doing this under Aleister Crowley's nose was risky. But by then, Li Mo would have set up barriers.

Who said an outsider magician couldn't detect the **Underline** nanoscale surveillance devices scattered throughout Academy City?

Even if they were nanoscale, if he could detect them, he could detect them!

That was Li Mo's line of thinking.

Frenda's secret base was located in Academy City's **10th School District**, the most bustling area of the city, known for its commercial streets. It was a melting pot of media agencies and the fashion industry.

Hiding in plain sight—to some extent, Frenda's logic wasn't flawed, especially since, as a dark side operative, she knew where the surveillance blind spots were.

The building where her hideout was located was called "Diamond-like," a commercial building with high-end residential units on the upper floors. Given its prime location and luxurious interior, the price must have been exorbitant.

But what didn't match the high value of the place was the clutter inside. Instead of furniture like TVs and tables, the first thing that caught the eye were various packaged gifts.

"Um... sorry, sir. It's a bit messy here."

"It's fine. I just need a small room."

Without further conversation with Frenda, Li Mo began his "digestion."

The "God's Right Seat," in a way, represented angels. But their goal was to become "gods above," beings beyond the phases.

That was likely the level of the Magic Gods.

That level was still far beyond Li Mo's reach. Even now, he was still struggling at the level of the extraordinary, still a long way from divinity.

Barriers began to be set up. Since they needed to block nanoscale surveillance devices, the process was particularly troublesome. Fortunately, after obtaining the Grimoires from Index's mind, he had the technical knowledge to support it.

Once everything was ready, it was time to begin.
