—At this moment, suppressing her wildly beating heart and the growing sense of camaraderie, Fujimaru Ritsuka mustered her courage and shouted: "Of course—!!! I am willing to follow the King's will and move forward together."
Chapter 119 The Saintess Who Follows the Lord? No, She's the Demon King; Raum: I suggest we run away.
Gudako's gaze hardened, and Mashu, Da Vinci, and Roman on the other end of the Chaldea communication all broke out in a cold sweat. Only after hearing Gudako's answer did they breathe a sigh of relief.
What a close call! Although I knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka would definitely agree given her personality, even from those familiar names, I already knew who this person was—a far more terrifying evil than 'Solomon'!
But—in urgent situations, one must act expediently, and besides, that being is not only evil, but also human love!
The reason why humanity's final trial is called a trial rather than destruction is because, in mythology, the king voluntarily transformed from a hero into a demon king in order to find a glimmer of possibility for humanity's survival and future.
Although such a being is like a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all human history, humanity should not forget his love for mankind.
If it were the high-ranking members of humanity, or the magicians of the Clock Tower, they would only feel fear and a desire to eliminate this person. However, everyone in Chaldea has their own scale of good and evil, so it's okay to cooperate with this person temporarily. At least their goals are temporarily the same.
Gudako is one of the rare types who chooses "I want them all" and always manages to achieve it.
Such as wanting to befriend beasts without killing many of them, or even becoming their master.
The appearance of night seemed to prematurely awaken the rebellious streak within Gudako.
Never mind whether Renli will be unhappy about befriending this guy; if you anger my brother, he'll take care of you! You think you're Renli?!
"Very good!!" A smile appeared on Yoru's face. Seeing Yoru smile, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but smile sweetly as well.
"Ha ha……"
That feeling of being recognized by an important person, feeling flattered and overwhelmed!
Night: "Then—let these heroic spirits who came because of you advance together with my army."
So Gudako turned to Jeanne and said, "Relax, Jeanne—you can all let your guard down now. Everything's fine!"
Joan of Arc breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be wonderful if we could reach an agreement. After all, although not all of the people I brought have arrived yet, the combined number from the previous singularities is definitely no match for this army of Heroic Spirits before me. These Heroic Spirits are terrifying!
Meanwhile, seeing that Chaldea had reached an agreement with the person their Demon Pillars feared most, the newly resurrected Demon Pillar Raum suddenly spoke up: "...I propose to leave this space."
There's no reason—! Or rather, just looking at this scene, who would have the courage to stay on this battlefield?
The Demon God Pillar Ose exclaimed in disbelief and agitation, "What's going on?! Why, why are we being suppressed? Now even those trash from Chaldea can come up and trample on us!"
"Why do humans, who refuse to understand each other, cooperate with one another?!"
Even though those Greek, Roman, and Norse heroes are so powerful, they are still willing to take care of Chaldea. They were already badly hurt by being beaten by the general army under the command of Absolute Evil. If Chaldea, which they once looked down on and despised, were to be trampled on as well, it would be a disaster.
Classic human scenarios and idioms such as "borrowing the tiger's might" and "a dog relying on its master's power" immediately flooded the minds of the Demon Pillars!
It's gone red! The demon pillars are all engorged with blood, and the countless eyes on them are wide open, as if they're dying with their eyes wide open!
As originally planned, after Chaldea conquered the seven Lostlands and arrived at the Grand Temple of Time, Lev would mock Chaldea for all their efforts being in vain and deny their hard work in the previous six Singularities—that no one (the Demon Pillars) cared at all.
The Demon Pillars were just watching it for fun!
After all, the previous singularities were not important at all, and their strength was not taken seriously by the Demon Pillars—they were dismissive of them. Only the seventh singularity made them unable to laugh at all.
After all, Tiamat, being a beast herself and possessing the terrifying title of the Mother Goddess of Creation, is quite a remarkable figure to have been successfully conquered.
but--
Chaldea has failed to complete all seven singularities in the normal order. They haven't even managed to resolve the sixth singularity, let alone the seventh. Naturally, they are even less likely to be noticed by the Demon Pillars.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Demon Pillar, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others are now a case of villains gaining power!
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled—!!!"
"It's unimaginable that just by siding with that queen, any incompetent human Master could step over our corpses to reach the throne—!" The voices of the Demon Pillars rang out one after another.
Meanwhile, in order not to embarrass her Master and to save face, Jeanne d'Arc once again raised her banner, and this time she could finally deliver the rest of her lines beautifully: "...Yes. We are indeed lives bound by selfish desires. Even as Heroic Spirits, this has not changed."
"No, it is precisely because they are Heroic Spirits that they will not distort their beliefs. But—there are still humans who believe in us. Even after witnessing numerous Heroic Spirits and countless conflicts, they still firmly believe that we are heroes. If we cannot respond to this trust, to this call, what kind of Heroic Spirits are we!"
“Lord, please allow me to wave this banner once more for the sake of saving the nation—no, for the sake of saving the world. Even if it is shameless, Your Majesty, please allow us to follow behind you and advance together.”
Holding the fleur-de-lis flag high, Joan of Arc, with her beautiful blonde hair and gentle, watery blue eyes that shone with unwavering determination, looked earnestly into the night.
Night: "Your master is not here, Joan of Arc. But if you are willing to come with me—I would not mind sheltering you in that wisp of light."
If one is a pure fanatic, following behind an absolutely evil demon king, then that is a desecration of faith.
Fortunately, Joan of Arc was a true saint. She did not understand much of the scriptures and doctrines, but believed more in the goodness in her heart. She respected and was devout to the Lord who guided her. But if it meant throwing herself into the flower of evil to save the world, she would not hesitate for a moment.
As a saintess, one should naturally be prepared to offer oneself to the demon!
Even the fake Dragon Witch, who was merely a facade, was treated with kindness by her; how much more so would she treat the Demon King, who was ostensibly absolutely evil but was actually a benevolent and compassionate being?!
Jeanne: "Of course—! My answer is the same as my Master's! Listen, heroic spirits gathered in this realm, each one a force to be reckoned with! Even if you were originally irreconcilable enemies, even if you were people from different eras who had never crossed paths, now entrust your backs to each other!"
"Not to stop the burning of humanity, but to pave the way for us, the contractors. My true name is Joan of Arc! In the name of the Lord—no, in the name of His Majesty the Most Benevolent and Good Absolute Demon King—I will become your solid shield!"
Immediately, the heroes gathered behind him smiled. Following the Demon King instead of their lord?! This level of rebellion, occasionally—is quite exhilarating!!
Chapter 120 Anti-Summoning was all for naught; you think you can touch your brother's people?
Suddenly... more meteors came flying down from the sky, as if the heroic spirits had all awakened.
At this moment—a thunderous roar of cheers could be heard from above, as the heroes sang wildly in response to the saintess.
Black Lancer Artoria and Black Saber Artoria are strangely not bad!
King Arthur's era also followed the Holy Grail and the glory of that Lord, but they all turned their backs on it. Isn't it good to follow the Demon King instead?
They love this exciting choice—! They don't need to be kings; they can just charge forward as knights under the Demon King's command and solve everything with brute force! Commanding such kingly talents requires brains, so let's leave that to His Majesty the Demon King.
At this moment, the spirits of the Greeks, Romans, and Norsemen also smiled, and an unexpected harmony was achieved between the two sides.
What an exciting moment!
On that jade throne, Getia felt that the scene before her eyes was extremely dazzling.
He tolerated the Golden Army's gradual arrival here, but now he must continue to tolerate the Chaldea group and Heroic Spirits who took shortcuts to get here without even completing the normal levels, making such a show of bravado?
Since that's the case, let's use the reverse summoning to send all the Heroic Spirits back here.
Goetia slowly raised his arm, clenched his fist, and looked at everything in the distance with a majestic and indifferent expression. He said coldly, "Leave the stage."
The next moment, a terrifying wave emanated from the jade throne and began to radiate outwards.
Those newly arrived heroic spirits almost turned into shooting stars and flew back in reverse.
"Ugh, ugh~!! Ah, what the hell? Why is the summoning ending so soon after I've just arrived?" The Roman Rose Princess, Ugh, looked down at the golden light emanating from her palms and body, utterly speechless.
Joan of Arc: "W-What is this?!"
On the other end of the Chaldean communication line, Leonardo da Vinci spoke with a tense and solemn tone: "The summoning ritual itself has been destroyed."
At this moment—Goetia, who had been silent since earlier, finally spoke again, her majestic voice descending from the sky: "I am the most powerful summoner created by you humans. As long as you are a Heroic Spirit, you cannot surpass me."
"But—why are they alright?" Empress Nero, who had just arrived, couldn't help but ask, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the Golden Army, especially the Roman camp, where she sensed the spirit origins of many Roman Heroic Spirits.
Goetia's voice suddenly stopped.
"...!!!"
Impossible—! The Demon King suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the army of Heroic Spirits, who were completely unharmed, each striking a pose like a villain, some smiling, some expressionless, some cold, and some calm, as if they were watching what other tricks Goetia had up its sleeve.
At the very front of Agai's viewpoint was a divine cloak woven in gold, which dyed his hair a golden color. His arms were hidden under a large shawl and he stood quietly at the front, with a faint smile on his lips, like a king who reigned supreme!
He didn't need to make any move, but he was like a pillar of strength, and the land beneath his feet and his army would not be affected by his power in the slightest. Only his cloak billowed in the wind.
The next moment, the radiance of love, which seemed to materialize as a form of escapism and salvation, spread in all directions. When the radiance covered Jeanne d'Arc and the others, the bodies of the heroic spirits, whose forms were dissipating, stabilized again. They were even directly disconnected from Gudako's summoning connection and brought under the command of Night.
In this area already covered by its will and laws, even the laws of reality can be arbitrarily modified. It's just a matter of changing the ownership of the relationship between the Heroic Spirit and its master. To Night, it was just a dissipated aura, but it truly protected Jeanne and the others.
"Wow, amazing!!!" Joan of Arc's eyes widened.
In an instant—Goetia, who had been holding his arms high, suddenly laughed as if it were a joke, even though there was no one in front of the throne at this moment, and even though Goetia's terrifying dignity made it impossible for anyone to see any change in his facial expression.
but--!
"Hmph—unable to dispel the Heroic Spirits? Then let's annihilate you at the source. Hmph—hahahahaha! Soon you'll understand that the Heroic Spirits' resistance is insignificant. Indeed—I admit that as long as the Master exists, you are an endless threat. But, including you—King of Absolute Evil! You still manifest as Servants. Once the Master is killed, everything will be over." Goetia said coldly.
—At this moment, he had already made up his mind to kill Fujimaru Ritsuka directly.
Even though he was unaware that the Heroic Spirits' Master had changed.
Even though he knew he was just talking nonsense, regardless of whether Absolute Evil was a Servant or its true form, the magical power of the light band it had taken from him was enough for it to maintain its permanent solitary appearance, and also to support the endless appearance of this large group of Heroic Spirits.
"If we kill you, human history will be completely over. If we eliminate you, who are the key to summoning Heroic Spirits, they will all retreat without a trace. Honestly, there's a limit to how easy the job can be. If you all behave yourselves, at least you can enjoy your last year to the fullest."
"Your actions were all extremely ill-considered. Fujimaru Ritsuka. The worst Master in human history!" Not daring to mock Yoru, Goetia could only relentlessly taunt Fujimaru Ritsuka, unleashing his full taunting power. The next moment—he activated his Noble Phantasm once more.
However, this time I deliberately shifted the direction slightly, trying not to focus my attention on the night.
He could sense that the Grand Temple of Time was different from the outside world before, and had not yet been completely taken over by that Demon King, after all, Solomon, this humanoid singularity, was a whole.
Even though necrotic tumors have appeared in his body, which will have some impact on him as 'Solomon', this place is still the inherent barrier of Solomon.
It's uncertain to what extent the other party can rewrite reality, but continuing down this path would only lead to certain doom.
Although I was terrified that I might see the third Noble Phantasm being absorbed again at any moment.
But—there's no turning back!
The fact that Chaldea had surrendered to that Demon Lord seeking refuge in particular inexplicably enraged him! "Now is the time for your retribution. Burn like weeds. Once you die, humanity over there will be utterly finished. Third Noble Phantasm—!! Unfold—The time of birth has come, with this I will rectify all things. Aes-Almadel-Selomonis!"
Suddenly, a black sun appeared in the sky, radiating a crimson, deep, dark light!
The third Noble Phantasm, which unfolded from inside the Grand Temple of Time, immediately radiated a power far more awe-inspiring and terrifying than the previous attack.
On the other end of the Chaldea communication line, the doctor, who had never seen Ye He so brutally sweep away hundreds of millions of light bands in an instant, panicked: "!!! Danger—that is...!"
Chapter 121 The first day was about humanity, the second day was about evil after destruction, and then—
The black sun, the entire Temple of the Crown Time, along with its throne, was being lifted up, as if to stand alongside the heavens.
A drop of crimson, deep, dark light fell, and then—light—! In an instant, an endless torrent of light, sweeping in from the distant horizon, converged into a single beam.
The target location was very clear—it was the ground beneath Fujimaru Ritsuka's feet.
The doctor was sweating profusely with anxiety!
Because he knew better than anyone else who the real 'Solomon' was, he was even more aware of the terror of the third Noble Phantasm that had completed the Humanity Burning Technique.
I can't even imagine—! What are the chances of Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka surviving?
After this attack—even the ashes of the burned corpses will probably be gone—maybe Mash will have a slight chance of blocking it if she unfolds her shield and the Eternal Chalk City.
