King Solomon possessed both the 'Wisdom of God' and the 'Wisdom of Man' in his lifetime.
If the Wisdom of God ensured that everything King Solomon did was correct, leading the nation of Israel to prosperity and advancing flawlessly like a perfect machine, then the Wisdom of Man was the self-awareness he gained only as he approached death—when he returned divine providence and passed away as a mere human.
King Solomon was a ruler bestowed upon humanity by God, serving merely as a bridge between humans and the divine, devoid of self. It was only upon completing his mission and facing death that he gained a sense of self, prompting him to leave something behind for the world.
The 'Human Order Correction Formula,' formally known as 'Human Order Correction Ritual: Lemegeton,' is also known as the legendary '72 Pillar Demons of Solomon'.
This was the final treasure King Solomon left for humanity before his passing. True to its name, the purpose of this grand ritual and magecraft was singular: to safeguard the development of human order, correct its errors, and ensure humanity advanced along the right path, avoiding destruction at critical junctures of poor choices.
Throughout his life, King Solomon fulfilled his duties like a machine. Yet, as he neared death and gained self-awareness, he harbored no resentment toward humanity, nor anger at being a mere tool between gods and men. He still loved humanity deeply, even leaving behind his Wisdom of Man for their sake.
The Human Order Incineration Protocol was not a power granted to Solomon by God, but a mechanism he himself created to protect human order—his final legacy.
This legacy not only remained in his original world, Type-Moon, but was also entrusted to his only friend, Roy, when he left the world of Campione.
'Divine Wisdom' is perfect, flawless like a circle, whereas 'Human Wisdom' is inherently flawed—humans can never be a perfect race.
After obtaining the 'Human Order Correction Formula: Lemegeton,' Roy once studied this grand magecraft. However, Roman—King Solomon—had tampered with the formula, preventing Roy from using it as an Authority and thus barring him from directly obtaining the 'Protection of Human Order.'
But unusability did not equate to unresearchability. Roy had intended to rely on his current wisdom and knowledge to dissect this grand magecraft through analysis, hoping to bypass King Solomon's restrictions and obtain the 'Protection of Human Order.' Yet, despite his efforts, Roy failed to break through the limitations. Instead, he discovered a flaw in the formula.
This formula was like a computer program—it had a bug. King Solomon, the programmer, clearly hadn't thoroughly tested it before his death!
While 'Protecting the Human Order,' under specific circumstances, this Human Order safeguard mechanism could reverse, turning into a 'Human Order Annihilation Mechanism'!
Upon discovering this, Roy lamented the limits of humanity and the flaws in human wisdom. Even the so-called Wise King Solomon had failed to notice such a colossal mistake in his own creation!
Roy even suspected that if the 'Human Order Correction Formula' left in his original world fell into the hands of a genius yet malevolent magus, they could reverse the formula. Alternatively, the 'Human Order Correction Formula' might encounter a 'bug' during operation, causing it to reverse on its own and give birth to an existence that 'Annihilates the Human Order.'
King Solomon had entrusted the 'Human Order Correction Formula' to Roy, hoping he would, like him, obtain his own power while safeguarding the Human Order. But Roy, using his own wisdom, found a loophole in this grand magecraft and thoroughly reversed its function.
Thus, Roy felt somewhat guilty for betraying Roman's gift, as he had turned a guardian of the Human Order into an annihilator of it.
Yet, it must be said that the reversed magecraft of the Human Order Correction Formula: Lemegeton was truly the ultimate counter to the Heretic Gods of this world. By annihilating the Human Order, by incinerating it, a world without the Human Order would inevitably lose its myths and divine principles, causing the gods to vanish into the 'Immortal Realm.'
The reversed formula of the 'Human Order Correction Formula: Lemegeton' was none other than the 'Human Order Incineration Protocol: Goetia'—Roy's strongest trump card prepared for the use against the Last King.
When Roy explained the general mechanics of this formula, whether it was Luo Hao, Annie Charlton, or Athena, all fell into silence. Though they said nothing, they were inwardly awed by the power this formula exhibited.
This was an outright magecraft, something both Campiones and Heretic Gods firmly believed. Unlike Authorities, which only Campiones and Heretic Gods could wield, the 'Human Order Incineration Protocol' could theoretically be performed by even a single magus—though the conditions required were far too stringent.
In the world of Campiones, magecraft had never been studied to such depths, for no matter how powerful the magecraft, it could never stand against Campiones or Heretic Gods. Even the greatest knights and magi were but insignificant ants before the gods.
Yet who could have imagined that magecraft could possess such vast, boundless power? This Human Order Incineration Protocol was a grand ceremony capable of annihilating both humanity and the gods, of erasing the world itself!
King Solomon was truly worthy of his title as the 'King of Magecraft.' Even if he had lived his entire life as an ordinary human, the creation of this 'Human Order' ritual alone would have immortalized his name for millennia.
Luo Hao, who had a deeper understanding of magecraft and thaumaturgy, felt a chill run down her spine as Roy described it. If this ritual were truly activated, triggering a domino effect, the flames of Human Order's destruction would rise to the heavens and engulf the entire world. And Roy, the one who initiated this magecraft—if he could control the residual heat from the 'Human Order Incineration'—might even harness that immense power to converge timelines, accomplishing the monumental feat of 'Reversing the River of Time, Creating the Light-Year of Genesis'!
"This is too dangerous, dear brother! This ritual is far too perilous. The slightest misstep could reduce not just the gods, but the entirety of human history and the planet's past to ashes!" Luo Hao fixed Roy with a grave look, her voice heavy with warning.
Though she was arrogant, though she was stubborn, though she bore the title of Demon King, Luo Hao harbored no desire to destroy the world. Had she wished it, as one of the world's strongest Campiones, she would have acted long ago instead of secluding herself in her humble abode on Mount Lu.
If Roy were to make even the slightest error in controlling this ritual, it would spell disaster for the entire Human Order!
"Sister, there's no need to worry. To achieve the domino effect of 'Human Order Incineration,' at least seven 'Singularities' must collapse simultaneously. In truth, the effort required to create even a single 'Singularity' would exhaust my own power, which is why I'm using the Holy Grail to facilitate their creation. As long as the incineration doesn't trigger a chain reaction across all seven Singularities, the corrective forces of history can repair the scorched fragments of time—provided only one Singularity is involved!"
"...Though it would take an exceedingly long time. And during that span, the Last King, Veeraj, would vanish forever, consumed by the flames of Human Order Incineration!"
Roy had clearly anticipated this scenario. He smiled confidently, utterly devoid of fear or tension at the prospect of initiating a ritual that could annihilate the Human Order. His demeanor was chilling, a stark reminder that he was truly the Demon King, the Demon King who slays gods—one who could face the destruction of the Human Order with such calm indifference.
"If my dear brother is so confident, then this sister shall say no more to dissuade you."
Luo Hao exhaled deeply and declared with heroic fervor, "...Then it shall be you, my worthy brother, who incinerates the Last King!!"
